This video is a CreepyPasta story about a different kind of Faustian bargain that I wrote and narrated myself. Enjoy!

This video is another thought experiment that contemplates where human civilization is heading and where it will ultimately end up. Humanity, as a whole, has undergone many upheavals, collapses, and advancements over the centuries. But as far as we’ve come, there’s still so much farther we have to go. That raises the question.
What’s the endgame?
What is human civilization’s ultimate form?
try to explore that with this thought experiment.

I’m a simple man. If I like something, I try not to overthink it. So long as it’s not actively damaging to my mind or body, I’ll enjoy it on my own accord and not pay much mind to whatever politics or popular attitudes are aligned with it.
Trust me, if you make it through middle school and high school being open about your love of Pokémon and superhero comics, you can be relatively confident in the thickness of your skin.
But when it comes to something as innocuous as pumpkin spice, it feels like the internet and meme culture have given it a less-than-flattering reputation. It tends to happen whenever the calendar turns to September. That’s when you notice that all things pumpkin spice showing up in grocery stores, along with Halloween decor. It just went along with the changing seasons, becoming this thing we in the United States associate with fall.
And it’s true that some companies go overboard, trying to incorporate pumpkin spice into damn near everything. But that’s nothing new for profit-seeking companies. It’s not their fault that we keep consuming pumpkin spice, nor is it their fault that it tastes so delicious. Rest assure, they wouldn’t keep overhyping it every fall if it didn’t help their profits in a non-insignificant way.
That still doesn’t stop some people from bemoaning pumpkin spice as this inherently insufferable seasonal phenomenon, associating it with annoying yuppie stereotypes who make ordering lattes at a coffee shop akin to arguing their Masters Thesis. That’s not to say those people don’t exist. I’ve met those people. They can be annoying. But I’ll gladly endure standing in line with them over those who just exist to complain about everything and everyone during every season.
I suppose it also helps that I, personally, love pumpkin spice as a flavor. I’m also a big fan of pumpkin spice lattes, in particular. Whenever I’m feeling restless or lethargic in the morning, I’ll treat myself to a pumpkin spice latte and immediately feel a little better. I often do the same if the previous night was rough and I didn’t get much sleep.
It’s not a political statement or a surrender to the trends dictated by our cultural and corporate overloords.
It just fucking tastes good. Can we just leave it at that?
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to get myself a pumpkin spice latte and I’m going to enjoy it.

This video recounts the brilliant, but controversial message of the first Joker movie. A lot has happened with this character over the years. But Todd Phillips and Joaquin Phoenix offered a take that has resonated in ways that are both remarkable and distressing.

My fellow Americans, it’s almost time.
As stated in Title 2, Chapter 1, Section 1, of the U.S. Code, Election Day shall occur on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November. That means on November 5, 2024, it is the civic duty and responsibility of eligible adult citizens of the United States of America to cast their vote for their next slate of representatives.
I know most well-informed Americans are already aware of this.
I also know many of those same Americans are probably sick, tired, and frustrated to no end about the current state of politics in the United States. I count myself among those Americans.
But no matter how angry or irate we are about the current state of the discourse, it’s critical that we vote. It is one of the most tangible measures of influence that we, the ordinary citizens of this Country, can have on the direction of this country. It’s how we, as a nation and as a collective, make our voices heard. We may not always agree with those in power or how they conduct themselves in guiding matters of law or policy, but our votes are what enables their efforts.
And sadly, the simple act of voting has been subject to plenty of complications. The history of voting rights in America has been anything but ideal. In recent years, political polarization has resulted in numerous efforts to undermine or hinder voting for certain populations. It varies from state to state, but that’s exactly why now is the time to be proactive about voting.
As I write this, Election Day is still weeks away. For some people, they haven’t planned that far ahead. They haven’t even figured out what costume they’ll wear for Halloween or what they’ll have for dinner three days from now. For those who have a regular job or work multiple jobs, just making the time to vote might be daunting.
But that’s all the more reason to start planning now. If you’ve just stumbled across this website or somehow clicked here on accident, consider this an impassioned plea.
Be proactive!
Make plans now!
Make a concerted effort to vote!
If you’re not sure what the procedure is, use whatever resource you can to register or obtain a necessary ID. One of the best resources that I’ve found, which helped me a great deal when I moved to my current home, is Vote.org. It’s a simple, straightforward web resource that can be accessed on most any device connected to the internet. And it’ll give you the information you need to register to vote.
Again, it varies from state to state. Some states have more paperwork and legal loopholes than others. And some are a lot less scrupulous than others when it comes to ensuring eligible citizens can vote. Regardless of their stated reasons for doing so (which is almost always political and self-serving), I encourage everyone within these states to do what they must to navigate these obstacles, even if they seem absurd.
Some of those absurdities might take more time than others. Even for those that don’t, voting might still be challenging, simply because if work schedules and personal/family obligations. If your state allows early voting, then this is the perfect time to look into it. If you simply need to make accommodations at work or with family, this is the perfect time to plan for that, as well.
Whatever you have to do, go ahead and do it. The sooner you do it, the less stressful it’ll be. And, most importantly, your country will be better in the long run.
I’ll say it one more time for dramatic effect.
Go to Vote.org and learn what you have to do!
Vote, my fellow Americans!
Make plans now!
The future of America literally depends on it.

This video explores why and how Bob’s Burgers became the perfect comfort show. For me personally, it’s become the show I often turn to when I just want to watch something simple, wholesome, and fun. It’s also one of those rare shows that sets itself apart from other animated shows for all the right reasons.
Plus, it has Gene Belcher. What more could you want?
