“Where do you work?”
*suspiciously* “Yeah? Where’s it at?”
Oh down by
Me: “Hey darlin’, you wanna go to A Nice Restaurant to eat?”
Her: “Sure thing! Where??”
Me: *prepares for a “Who’s On First”-esque conversation*
True: I once waited tables for a high-end steak and wine place that was called The Strip Club. Whenever someone asked where I worked, it required some explanation. Especially when my dad asked.

WHERE IS THE FIC WHERE STILES CALLS TECH SUPPORT ON HIS FIRST DAY BUT GETS THE MAINLINE FOR JUNIOR VP DEREK HALE AND DEREK JUST IS HELPFUL
AND STILES JUST CALLS BACK
WHENEVER
HE CAN’T PRINT OR WHATEVS. SO DEREK IS LOADING PAPER DOWN ON THE 28TH FLOOR WHEN HE SHOULD BE ON 49TH IN A MEETING WITH HIS SISTERS
“Anyway, you can just tell this company is being grossly mismanaged,” Stiles tells Derek around the Twizzler he just shoved into his mouth.
“I agree,” Derek says, head buried in the side panel of the malfunctioning copier.
“Resources are clearly available,” Stiles continues, sounding like he’s pacing back and forth near Derek’s feet; “but they aren’t being utilized fully!”
“Mmhmm.” Derek smiles to himself. “I hear the Vice President never even went to business school. He even skips out on the budget meetings, most days.”
“What a hack,” Stiles sighs. “Hey, do you want some candy? What am I saying, look at you. Of course you don’t eat candy.”
Derek is grateful that there’s a plastic panel hiding his overheating face. “I prefer the grape ones, actually, but sure.”
“Eugh, gross.” Stiles has to crouch down next to him to give him the candy, pressing right into his side. “Like, for example: okay, you’re clearly really smart, I can tell. Despite your seriously gross taste in Twizzlers. They’re wasting you in this position.”
Derek coughs, trying to focus on locating the paper jam. It’s been so long since someone said anything like that to him that he can’t actually tell if Stiles is being sarcastic or not.
“Thank you?” he tries, after a too-long pause.
“Anytime,” Stiles says, palm warm between Derek’s shoulder blades. “Although, in a strictly literal sense, I have to admit that this position really works for you.”
Derek hits his head on the paper tray.
Derek isn’t sure why he let this charade go on for over three weeks, it’s just that whenever Stiles ends up calling his line he can’t help but talk to him; it isn’t actually too difficult to Google whatever problem Stiles is having with his computer or whatever, and it actually usually is something really lame, like “how do I take a screenshot” and “I got disconnected to the main server again,” which honestly happens to everyone, you just have to kick your router a little bit. And it’s more entertaining than budget meetings, that’s for sure.
It’s just that he really likes his conversations with Stiles. A lot. Okay, maybe he just likes Stiles.
So Derek is surprised one morning when he’s finally decided he should just go ahead and ask Stiles out one of these days when he doesn’t get a call. Stiles usually calls in once or twice by noon at least, even if it’s just to complain about the coffee in the breakroom.
When Derek walks by Stiles’ desk and finds it empty, not just of Stiles, but in fact all his personal belongings have been swept into a cardboard box. Horrified, Derek raps on the cubicle next to him. “Hey, do you know where Stiles is?“
The guy, A. Greenberg by his nameplate, just shrugs. “Stiles came into work as usual and then he was flipping through the company phonelist, started freaking out about something and just packed everything up. He said he was going to HR."
Derek dashes towards the elevator, making it to the ninth floor where Human Resources is just in time. He barges in office after office, making quick apologies, and finally finds Stiles with an exasperated and bored looking Erica Reyes.
"You can’t file a sexual harassment claim against yourself, Mr. Stilinski,” she’s saying. “Ah, hello, Mr. Hale,” she says when she sees Derek at the door.
Stiles turns, face flushing red. “Ah– I am so sorry Der– I mean, Mr. Hale, I really didn’t know, I mean, this morning all my phone presets were gone so I had to reprogram everything, and then when I called IT and asked for Derek’s line, they said they didn’t have a Derek, and then when I looked through the phonelist, I realized the only Derek was–"
"It’s fine,” Derek says. “Erica, can you just forget this–"
"Sure,” she says, grinning at him.
“Stiles–” Derek pulls him into the hallway. “Were you seriously trying to fire yourself for flirting with me?"

One of the key differences between conspiracy-theory bullshit and “talking about things the government actually did” is that conspiracy-theorist mindset treats political engagement as an ARG. The idea that an average American citizen can engage with intelligence kerfuffles and backroom financial dealing if they’re sufficiently perceptive because the powers that be can’t help but leave “hints” in odd places everyone can see.
To be sure, the United States government is evil, and it has done and is doing a lot of shady shit that could be called conspiratorial. But, for instance, when the CIA was running Operation Timber Sycamore, they very much did not call up Nikki Minaj and be like “Hey we need you to release a concept album about selling guns to ISIS”
Speaking of things the government has actually done, you’ll notice that this stuff only really flourishes around things that are fabricated or unfalsifiable, like Qanon stuff, as opposed to anything that actually happened. Like nobody believes you’ll learn the truth about the government murdering Gary Webb by decoding the super bowl halftime show.
There’s an Italian anarchist group who coined the term “conspiracy fantasy” for this, because a bunch of non-English languages translate “conspiracy theory” with a neutral connotation and they needed a way to say “conspiracy theory (derogatory)”.
They have some good discussion in the second half of the episode about how to differentiate between conspiracy theories and fantasies, and they say the same thing; actual conspiracies have a concrete and narrow goal, are focussed on a particular time and place, and get more likely to be discovered the more people are part of them.
Conspiracy fantasies, otoh, are exactly the above: ungrounded in a particular time or place (e.g. they allegedly reach back hundreds or thousands of years), constantly escalating and adding new supposed members despite the difficulty in keeping so many people quiet, and the goal becomes more and more broad.
One of my own conspiracy theories:
I have long suspected that the prevalence of conspiracy fantasy in the Untidy States has been encouraged by the intelligence community and other entrenched interests in order to discredit any legitimate investigation into actual conspiracies as “lunatic fringe nonsense.”
That wouldn’t surprise me at all. Disinformation and psyops are some of the few things US intelligence is actually almost good at, for example [gestures vaguely at the last 100 years of Latin American history] or [gestures vaguely at the last 100 years of Middle Eastern history] or [gestures vaguely at the last 100 years of the American labor movement], and it’s extremely advantageous to have the public consciousness associate “critically examining the things the government does on account of the government being objectively evil” with weird Facebook dads posting whatever the fuck this is:
The other thing with conspiracy thought is that it gives the conspiracy theorist a feeling of agency over their life. They can insert themselves into the narrative in a way that gives them power, but also doesnt involve gay ass communist things like working together with other people. Conspiracy theory is fantasy, but it’s specifically a power fantasy.
I wouldn’t necessarily say that the government disseminates disinformation to create conspiracies, but they gladly allow conspiracy theorists to have platforms because it muddies the informational waters.
Does the government benefit from you believing UFO’s are aliens? Yes. Are they going to spend money convincing you that UFOs are aliens? Probably not.

Honest to god I could write entire books on the fucked up little micro societies that exist solely in isolated gmod servers
my buddy and I were crawling some servers on gmod one day, just dinking around and being mild nuisances. we found one server where everyone had some ridiculous rank/title–various mythical creatures and wizards and stuff. We bothered someone badly enough (probably made a big mess of barrels or something) that we got put in jail, but we weren’t really interested in playing gmod as much as just goofing off, so we hung around the server for a while. the residents were chatting pretty casually, until someone, in a frantic tone, says “Janus is coming! We need to get this place cleaned up!” Janus logs in, and he has the title of God. Someone sheepishly asks “hey what’s up Janus?” Janus replies with an ear-splittingly loud buzzing static noise that drowns every sound on the server out. me and my buddy absolutely lost our minds
