  • Or just run around the board, tracking your laps. Every lap, shit gets more expensive. The first player to go around the board 5 times without going bankrupt or drawing a “you died” chance card wins.

    Other chance cards could include “you survived the round of layoffs, but productivity goals remain the same. Lose $50 buying coffee to keep up.” Or “Take a mental health day. Gain $20 since you didn’t spend it commuting.” Or “Sunday brunch with friends. Lose $30 on avocado toast and mimosas.”

    Community chest cards can all be like $5 of help and specifically point out that social safety nets have been all but dismantled. Some can be dropping like $100 on you, but at the cost of your next turn because you spent all day on the phone and/or doing tedious paperwork to maximize assistance.

    Somebody take these ideas and just make a new board game called Peasants or Surviving Capitalism or Proletarians or something. If you make a ton of money off of it, just throw me 1%. If you only make a little money, just throw me a free copy.





  • Supporting the conservative party which seeks to undo progress and maintain the status quo as a form of “rebellion” is so goddamn typical of idiot kids. The elderly and young people agree on one general stance: “idk wtf you’re talking about and I absolutely don’t like it or want it.”

    The shrink of our memories and attention spans will have been our undoing. It’s probably already over, and it’ll be another 50 years or so before people realize it. Idk if we can ever recover from all of this, so I’m just gonna drink and play video games between chores today instead of watching for current events.

    It’s important to take breaks from the doom and gloom. We can take a day off from rearranging deck chairs once in a while. We owe it to ourselves.



  • They mean more “bored of life” than “bored in the moment”.

    Used habitually, it can be a pacifying kind of drug. You’re unhappy with things, so you get stoned to get a little escape. If you didn’t have the out of that little escape, you might be more inclined to make choices and put in the work to make lasting changes.

    On the other side, shrooms makes you uncomfortably confront the shit that you don’t like about yourself and neural pathways get a chance to reroute, so you can kinda give yourself the kick in your ass you need to see the problem and make changes.
