I love that I physically cannot read that in any other way than how you intended.

Duck boobs, woo-oo!

LOL! $600 is NOT, except in fevered, delusional minds, affordable.

Not this shit again. AH, the beautiful UP, where unemployment is the #1 employer. They tried, they failed. AND LAY OFF THE GIVE IT BACK TO CHEESELAND!!! Yall were not even a territory when the area was given to Michigan THE STATE.

This reminds me of a state family planning program which literally gave high school girls $100 for each year they didn’t get pregnant and $250 if they graduated without getting pregnant. The state worked out the math, and they found it was way cheaper than supporting teen mothers who dropped out of school. In the…

Indeed, I enjoyed that show way more than I thought I would. It has a similar vibe to what Stranger Things wants to be but is ultimately way more interesting and substantial (while Stranger Things just leaned more into its one defining note).

I mean, I will always be waiting for it, but sadly it has been cancelled, and thoroughly enough that it seems assured it isn’t some kind of hoax by the producers.

I know I shouldn’t be surprised by how callous both governments and corporations are towards the people living and working under them, but holy crap that’s awful.

Holy. Shit. I am not well versed in the seafarer and shipping world but this has been eye opening. I cannot believe crews are abandoned so completely they cannot escape their situations. I started reading up on it and this happens all over the world even in the U.S. which really blew my mind. Seemingly the U.S. does a…

Or you tell them what I told my nephew when he was spouting Qanon shit:

Isn’t it always the way? You go down to the beach, spread your towel on the sand, lay down and try to catch some rays, and some pimply douche-bro is flying around his drone to take pictures of all the girls.

My high school experience was such that no one has photos of me. I was on the “quiet loner” track. 

Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future too. Its pattern will be the same, down to the last detail; for it cannot break step with the steady march of creation. ~Marcus Aurelius

It is the truth you speak, but, my heart is heavy for the innocents being dragged along.  Idiots have children and elders and while they care not for them, I do.  Its just sad.

This brings up a personal moral decision for me. I am not yet vaccinated but I am registered, so I hope to be within a couple of weeks. I work with many people who already won’t wear masks or social distance and already say they will refuse the vaccine. (I am considered a paranoid pariah for doing so in spite of state…

Over the past 40 or so years, our country has deferred maintenance on the road system because taxes bad, gas must be cheap and freedom. We’ve also systematically cut almost all the strings to our safety nets, deregulated everything we could get away with and what we’ve ended up with is a world where honestly, Trucks…

I’ve been using a password manager (paid) for over a decade and have completely different passwords for each account that I log into online. And they’re wonderful gibberish like tEP4%^5f81Y^H*&w or eF3a2p8$mmZrvZ that I have no hope of remembering. I don’t want to.

40 year mortages, 9 year car payments, 10 year electricity liens, a recession almost every ten years. Once in a lifetime events happening every 5 years.

I think this drives home that we normalized flu deaths, and now realize how preventable they are.

So a dead body with a sign saying “not a murder victim” in the woods will not raise suspicion or panic? Asking for a friend.
