I’m looking forward to this one. Hopefully, it lives up to expectations on release.

Unfortunately, I need to be available about 80% of the time.

One where my work phone doesn’t ring with people asking me to solve basic ass problems they should be able to solve themselves. I’m all for calling me in emergencies or unusual situations, we have patients depending on us. Don’t call me because you can’t find something or someone is rude or you’re scared to make the call your fucking paid to make. Really aggravating.

Jose Saramago has some great books that really explore the human condition.

Just looked it up and there are a couple still made. I stand corrected. Idk why anyone would buy those death traps when there are plenty of two in front options.

There’s a reason they stopped making trikes with the single turning wheel upfront. Hopefully, this guy doesn’t learn that lesson.

Sorry, bud, but we’ve gotta help some white colonists genocide native brown people. I’m sure you understand.

Careful, acknowledging reality makes you a “doomer.”

I learned that I’m essentially trapped in my country without massive amounts of money or a rare skill set. I have neither. I’ll just have to ride the fascist wave out if they succeed.

I didn’t know that of the top of my head, I just vaguely remembered something about it and WW2, so I google the painting.

Strangely enough, that’s how I’ve always imagined it.

It’s actually German, lmao, though the artist grew up in America.

A family friend once invited us over to celebrate a promotion. To celebrate, they prepared an expensive meal and had expensive alcohols. The star of the meal was a thinly sliced piece of raw horsemeat. It was not particularly interesting, though it was very tender. I think it was more intended to “share the wealth” than for its actual appeal and flavor profile, though I was a kid and there was a cultural difference, so maybe I’m wrong. Either way, it was an interesting experience.

Look up starting strength. Rippetoe (the author) is an asshole, so hit the seas if you like, but his programming is legit. You won’t spend much time lifting, as compound lifts reduce the time needed, so that should make it easier. You only need to learn 5 lifts and not all at once, either.

Ha, in his defense, it wasn’t him that reported the “noose” but a member of his crew.

I’m not sure. That sounds like it might work, but I don’t have any source to know if it will.

Be very careful doing this. The water can become superheated and explode when the surface tension is broken. Honestly, it’s probably better to find an alternative way to clean your microwave.

My senior year I took mostly AP courses and there were these two “nerd” bullies, Noah and Cory, that loved to target me because Noah’s mom (a teacher) made sure he knew I was on the spectrum. These two guys were physically weak, but their parents protected their mouths from fists. I remember one of them intentionally caused a collision with my vehicle in the parking lot, then lied, and I got the ticket because of who Cory’s dad was. The AP English teacher really disliked me for whatever reason as well and would encourage these two to come after me in class, sometimes he’d even join in.

There were many incidents with this teacher’s bullying, but one really sticks out to me. Towards the end of the year, I was sitting in the back of class minding my business and reading. A group of kids, including the two bullies, were at the teacher’s desk talking to him about what colleges they planned to attend. Out of nowhere, the teacher yells “Hey (me)! What college are you attending? Alcatraz University?” Of course the two assholes erupt in the loudest laughter and the rest of the class follows suit. Not only was it moronic, it was completely unprompted.

Fuck you, Noah and Cory. But a special fuck you for Mr. Betscher.

We get what we pay for.

I have a friend who seems to believe any bullshit he reads on Facebook and “wellness” sites. It’s exhausting how he brings up this moronic shit and then acts smug that I’m “not open to other points of view.” It’s honestly pushed us apart and I just don’t have patience or sympathy for people who constantly fall for obvious misinformation. I’ve just settled on keeping those people at a distance for my own sanity.
