The state of the web in 2020:
discussion sites as a medium are dying. chalk that up to censorship.

reddit is an echochamber. twitter is mostly a marketing platform disguised as (anti)social media. instagram is a self promotion/wannabe eceleb site, and youtube is the new hollywood..quickly becoming irrelevant.

facebook is where I (dont) go to (totally not) ignore all the people important to me.

and email is where I go to send letters bordering on hatespeech to my various local and federal "representatives", in between borderline cyberbullying people stupid enough not to automate their spam marketing in 2020. or talking to left/right self-help grifters about the state of society.

in the grim dark future of 2020, the last bastion of intelligent conversation, free speech, and civility, the one shining icon of hope in a dark world..
is the comment section of pornhub videos where a women got stuck under a bed for the 50,000th time. And all I can think is "wow I never knew how easy it was to get trapped under a bed. They should look into fixing this safety hazard."

newsmedia has jumped so many sharks, the fonz now spins in his grave so fast we could hook him up to a generator. meanwhile people hide in their homes for a disease so deadly you have to be tested to know if you even have it.

while ever more car commercials
are released, set to somber but hopeful piano music to the tune of "in this time of social distancing its important to stay close even when we're apart."

Im beginning to think media has become a poison on society, both television and the internet, and like an ersatz cargo cultist worshipping the great-charles- manson-in-the-sky we should all take a page from the unabomber and smash our televisions with hammers before going outside and sawing down the telephone polls.

I jest of course. But there is no denying the inherent appeal of moving from the unsettling uncertainty of complex societies, driven by expertly manipulated fear cycles, to the beatitude-esque simplicty of pastoral protestant style living, sans witch burning and shoe buckles.

And against the reckoning of utopians who are still fresh from the womb as it were, wet behind the ears and smelling of their mother's pussy, I reject the notion that "up" is a synonym for "forward."
Were it the case, every drinking binge, followed by throwing up, would bring us, with each vomitting, one step closer to heaven. Rather the state of affairs is what it is, and what it is, like most of nature, is a cruel master and a harsh teacher. And while we may binge on digital delusions of grandeur and a greater society, rest easy in the nihilistic and sobering thought that we are little more than 200,000 year old cave men wielding magic bricks, and atomic bombs.

..where water flows more readily from metal tubes in our houses than it does from the nile. where food comes to our door at little more than our beck and call.
where we may bath, and sleep, and *shit*, cleanly, comfortably, and safely, wrapped in the (failing) bubble of delusion we all tenaciously grasp collectively, the thing we call "civilization".

an empire of needful things, wanton and fragile.

if we have not gone mad from boredom, I have no doubt we one day will.

it becomes more and more obvious to me every day, had war never existed, it would have been necessary for man to invent it just to have something to do, that didnt include farming, fucking, or building.

And so enters "political idealogy."

How would we ever have enemies if we were allowed to speak our piece instead of being given the means (and reflex dogwhistle training) to silence and destroy one another?

give a man a gun, he'll rob a bank. give a man a bank, he'll rob the world.
give him a media empire or a tech platform, and he'll lie about the theft and convince one half of millions of lemmings to hate all the other lemmings.

When Rahul, a passionate gambler from India, first heard about the potential to win real money on online slots, he was a bit skeptical. He was used to traditional casinos, where he could feel the atmosphere and adrenaline of the game. But with the growth of the internet and mobile technologies, Rahul realized that the world of gambling was evolving — online slots had become an essential part of the industry.

One day, while browsing the internet, he came across the guide to the best slots to play online for real money in India and decided it was time to try something new. The guide explained how to choose the best slots, which offer high chances of winning, interesting bonuses, and huge jackpots. Rahul was intrigued and wanted to see which games might bring him real winnings.

The first thing Rahul learned was that when choosing a slot for real money play, he needed to pay attention to the Return to Player (RTP) percentage. He realized that the higher the RTP, the better the long-term chances for players. For instance, he was surprised to find that Starburst, one of the most popular slots, had an RTP of 96%, which made it an excellent choice for beginners. Rahul decided to try it out first, and indeed, the game was not only simple but also fun, with vibrant graphics and exciting bonus features.

However, Rahul also wanted to try something more ambitious. He moved on to Mega Moolah, a progressive jackpot slot. He knew the chances of winning a big jackpot here were lower, but seeing how quickly the jackpot grew, his excitement grew as well. Inspired by the idea of winning a huge sum, Rahul decided to give it a shot. While the progressive jackpot was a bit riskier, he enjoyed the feeling that at any moment, he could land the massive win.

He also noticed that the platform he chose offered various bonuses for new players, such as free spins and deposit bonuses. He made use of these offers to increase his chances of success and enjoy the game without risking too much of his own money. In addition, the casino offered him a registration bonus, which gave a nice boost to his bankroll in the early stages of play.

Rahul didn’t just play, he also kept an eye on trends and new promotions. He realized that it was important not only to pick popular slots but also to stay aware of what casinos were offering their players. He discovered that slots like Gonzo’s Quest, with its unique avalanche mechanics and multipliers, were not only potentially profitable but also highly entertaining. It wasn’t just about spinning reels — it was an experience that kept him hooked.

Over time, Rahul became not just a successful player but a seasoned strategist. He knew which games to pick, how to use bonuses, and how to manage his bankroll. He learned that it wasn’t just about winning but playing responsibly. The guide he found became a sort of mentor for him. It helped him manage his bankroll, set limits, and make wise decisions.

What Rahul realized in the end was that the key to success in real money slot play wasn’t just about picking the right games, but also about having a well-thought-out approach. He understood that if you choose slots with high RTP, make use of bonuses, and keep an eye out for new promotions, you can significantly increase your chances of winning. But the most important thing — never forget to play responsibly.

And so, Rahul entered the world of online slots for real money. He became truly immersed in the experience, not just for the money but for the thrill of it. He enjoyed the game, where every spin of the reels was a chance for success. Though his early wins were modest, with each day, he grew more confident in his skills.

He continued to explore new slots and strategies, keeping up with changes in the industry and always being ready for new opportunities. From time to time, he would return to the guide that had helped him become a more experienced and successful player. Ultimately, he realized that playing for real money wasn’t just about making money — it was a fun and exciting experience that opened up countless new possibilities.

And so, Rahul became a confident player, one who approached slot play with strategy, knew when to stop, and always made sure he played responsibly. And, of course, his journey was just beginning.
