We now have online casinos with corrupt backdoor ties to the Trump family letting people bet on the actions of the Trump family. It's not insider trading anymore. It's just the house's cut (slrpnk.net)

There are definitely some tells.

I've noticed a pretty severe uptick in not just X, actually Y, clumsy analogies that don't actually make any sense, people using em dashes who don't actually know what they are. Plenty of people are just straight up outsourcing their thinking to this thing.

Before 2022 or whenever I don't think I can recall ever noticing the presence of an em dash.
