Making friends defacing the Friends subway ad 
I love my community garden! And I get to learn gardening and we get loads of lovely veggies.
What the fuck are those big fat green beans
Broad beans
You better pickle some of that.
really good beans, I wish they were cheaper in stores. The midway point between peas and green beans.
Should make some pickles.
Also if you do and want to send me some (I will pay shipping and doxx myself) I kind of have a dangerous fermented food obsession
have you considered that real friends might make your brain wrinkle, when capital wants completely smooth, docile electric meat
Unrelated, I also hate fake phonetic transcription. It's [fɹ̥ɛnd̥] on Wiktionary. [frend] would be pronounced with a rolled (trilled) r like in Spanish. The /e/ is closer to the ay of may
Yeah, this says nothing about how to pronounce it unless you already speak English and know how those letters are pronounced, which defeats the whole purpose.
It's just how you're supposed to read "friend dot com"
Frrrrrrrrrryyynd
Love spotting a fellow IPA-familiar nerd in the wild
I'm not super across all of it but I learnt enough at uni to know bs when I see it, and I see it everywhere
Probably AI generated the transcription, if not the entire ad
STOP USING AI
- COMPUTERS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE GIVEN SOULS.
- YEARS OF TOKEN GENERATION yet NO REAL WORLD USE FOUND for HALLUCINATIONS
- Wanted to hallucinate anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that, it was called ACID
- Yes, please give me please give me EM DASH of something. Please give me NUMBERED LISTS - Statements dreamed up be the utterly deranged
LOOK at what AI developers have been demanding your Respect for with all the silicon and pristine water we have given them
CW unreality

Hello, I would like 
apples please
THEY HAVE PLAYED US FOR ABSOLUTE FOOLS
i feel so bad for people who are actually si alienated and lonely that they use ai in place of friendship and even relationships in some cases. its something i cant even imagine.
I fucking love the people of New York. They don’t deserve to suffer as part of the great satan.
Capital will not rest until every single solitary facet of human life has been commercialized. Everything you are and do must generate a profit.
I appreciate how it seems multiple different people scrawled over this trashheap ad
And I really doubt any of my friends drink the safe amount of water as much as AI slop does.
I bet I can drink so much more water than an AI slop machine.
Put me in coach, I'll be the John Henry to this steam drill.
Everybody needs a friend, but we already have the Public Universal Friend
After suffering a severe illness in 1776, the Friend claimed to have died and been reanimated as a genderless evangelist named the Public Universal Friend, and afterward shunned both birth name and all pronouns.
The limitations of latin languages.
To honour such a wonderful human being without implying gender (PUF's wiki page in portuguese is not kind with their wishes of gender neutrality) is really an effort. I dare to say that's barely impossible with "official" words.
This ad was wide open for subversion by adding a few letters in front of friend.com and purchasing that domain.
Everything's commerce!
got me thinking about how as we become a more developed capitalist society, we would gradually come to see the interactions between peoples as transactions, part of the larger schematic of neoliberalism (the whole concept that there is no such thing as a society rhetoric)
there is already some application of zero sum thinking w/ market economy rhetoric applied in dating, it would eventually be inevitable these things would be applied to friendships (not to denigrate those who already do these things, they are products of a system, this is just an observation/analysis)
based comrades
Fiend.com
This ad concept is so bad that I can't tell if it was created by AI or a corporate suit who hasn't spoken to a working class person in 20 years.
