    It’s fucked up how perfect this satire is. I honestly immediately believed it without question, which is a terrible sign.

      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.

    Oh God, that is so painfully true. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be longingly caress this rope without actually tying it into a noose.

    “You hear this nonsense such as, ‘people don’t want to work anymore,’” said Schweitzer while puffing on his pipe. “Can you blame them? When boomers were young, they could pay for college flipping burgers, buy a house on a single salary, and retire with a pension. Now people can’t afford to even rent. The average American is being crushed under a debt burden with no prospect of relief. Our political system is breaking down, and we’re headed toward climate disaster. It’s only natural for people to be walking around secretly wishing a piano would fall on them.”

    Wtf I thought this was supposed to be a satire article.

    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.

    Oh the organization that called government torture “enhanced interrogation”.

    The APA could be fire bombed, and I would have a flat affect.
