The only time I still see it mentioned is the weird manosphere people talking about red pills and blue pills. What are the references you're seeing?

I use Facebook quite a bit because I'm unproductive.  Even some of the left-wing people talk about "escaping the matrix".  Every fucking conspiracy theorist talks about it.

I get stuff from both right and left.  Most of it extreme.  The left-wing ones are constantly going on about guillotines and the right wing ones constantly go on about the matrix.  I don't really care for either one.  Truth is, there really isn't much of a difference between them.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Maybe it's just Facebook pushing you Matrix-referencing posts because you clicked on one once. Does not seem to be a thing at all past the incel pills thing

Maybe.  I get lots of conspiracy shit.  It started because I followed some archeologist who posted pictures of artifacts.  Suddenly the algorythm starts sending me stuff about ancient aliens.  I followed a site that mocks that sort of thing and now I get stuff about the flat earth.  Those people are evil.

Had an job interview today, with the dog and cat groomer.  I told the owner that I have long aspired to be a groomer, and that while I don't have a dog I love pussies.  I kiss them right on their pussy lips.  I think I left a good impression.

I can never remember which pill is supposed to be which.

Am i supposed to be taking the red one or the blue one?  What ever happened to the simple message of "drugs are bad"

Fun fact. The red pill is a reference to estrogen. It's a trans analogy.

I also do wish they'd been a lot more on the nose (and better quality) with the sequels showing you've just woken from one delusion into another in many ways worse one. That reflects the reality of these red pillers very well.

The orange pill now....

Maybe you should use less confusing slang in your interviews  :P

Or maybe use more...depending on what you were going for.

I killed a bird today while driving. It miscalculated a turn and it struck my windshield. First time this ever happened to me.

I guess it's Swiss German? And syt = seit = since? I'd translate/guess: "Since mommy is politicized she no longer has time for me." (Which is why the school report card says that the boy's performance has dropped and that the parents should check on the homework.)

In several surveys, the overwhelming first choice for what makes Canada unique is multiculturalism. This, in a world collapsing into stupid, impoverishing hatreds, is the distinctly Canadian national project.
