I was like "OMG! They finally understand how I feel!"
The best satire borrows heavily from reality.
The best satire is reality.
I’d like to think there was a time that wasn’t true.
Fuck. I did too.
my solution is to make rice and veggies
It is very real but journalism hasn't quite evolved to state facts yet. They're still at the gaslighting stage of making us think our unhappiness is the result of our own poor choices and shortcomings, and that everyone else is happy except for us.

Oh God, that is so painfully true. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be longingly caressing this rope without actually tying it into a noose.
I'll sit next to you and load then unload my pistol.
Hold my beer while I jump off that bridge and then... oh I break the combo.
That's not all that unrealistic lol
Ever notice that the only people who relentlessly seek out immortality are the absurdly wealthy who already live a life of the entire world being at their beck and call for every whim?
The rest of us get tired of licking the shoe leather and are all like, "It's my time? Phew! Finally!"
i mean i wouldn't mind immortality provided i straight up can't be killed, i'd like to see the bougies defend against that

We've reached some kind of milestone where satire and reality have converged to a single line. Also, the cover photo of a bunch of smiling professionals is the real chef's kiss.
Too real.
@ZeroCool Is that an Onion-like website?
Yes, The Hard Times is a satire website that usually focuses on music. They also operate Hard-Drive.net which focuses on videogame and tech satire.
It's fucked up how perfect this satire is. I honestly immediately believed it without question, which is a terrible sign.
