I have no idea what the solution is, just an idea of what endgame I find appealing. I personally like work, it brings structure and discipline to my life, and now that I’ve found a type of work I both enjoy and am good at I wouldn’t want to give that up. During the pandemic I’ve had several friends spend the entire…

Yeah, it’s been a long time since I read the books, but this was a bad choice. Every time book Scorsby had different obscure knowledge about whatever it was clear he had lead a long winding life that had given him a chance to gain it. It's just less believable to see the same from a man who looks in his mid to late…

It will turn out that Twitter was the real fake news this entire time. Wait...

I’m not saying that because I don’t understand the circumstances, I’m saying it because that’s what John was basically saying in the episode. When Will confronts him with how hard his absence was John counters by saying “and look how brave you turned out!” In a way he’s crediting his actions for Will’s character.…

I know you're being sarcastic, but I'd be 100% fine with this.

Just because some work needs to happen doesn’t mean everyone needs to be doing it all the time.

I loved the scene with Will and his father, it was heartbreaking. But getting ahead of that a little, I’m so tired of the “Oh, if I hadn’t abandoned you/was abusive to you/was distant from you then you wouldn’t have turned out so awesome! You see, it was a parenting tactic this whole time!” line so often employed in…

My mom was able to do quite a bit of genealogical research before companies like 23andme were out there doing DNA testing. I am also suspicious of giving out my DNA to companies that share that information with the government, but trust that there are some ways to look into your family history without giving out that…

Yeah, but *grumble grumble* I paid my debt already so everyone else should have to pay theirs too. My life was hard, everyone else should have hard lives. A bear ate my sandwich, it’s only fair if bears eat everyone else’s entire homes!

After a certain point it just sorts them all into "has lice."

The thing is, going out had started to become less “normal” for me. So while I often think about the trivia night I went to with a friend and his wife, what I really think on was those few weeks starting a new bartending job right before this all started. It was at a bar I’ve been a regular at for a decade, so I was…

I got my first job around the end times of fax machines. One thing that totally surprised me was the existence of spam faxes. We would just get advertisements for mattress or whatever spit out of the machine every once in a while, like it was haunted by some sort of coupon clipping ghost.

Just piping up to say that one of my co-workers today told me that she just found out what a fax machine was last year. I about wilted on the spot.

My friends used to celebrate a made-up holiday at the beginning of December every year. Part of the holiday was a white elephant gift exchange where everyone tried to give the weirdest/worst gift possible. I would actively search for something awful to bring to this, but I think the worst thing I ever managed to show…

A while back I read an article on how to find true love as written from a more science/logic take. One thing that’s pointed out in the article, and the main takeaway I’ve had ever since, is that being in a bad or unhealthy relationship is one extra step backward between you and a good relationship. Merely by being…

That’s definitely the look I have on my face when I’m trying to make someone burst into flames with my mind. And let me be clear, that’s not a criticism.

A Republican candidate for governor in Virginia posted a special request on her Facebook page asking Donald Trump to institute marshall law in order to prevent Joe Biden from being sworn in. Who’s the snowflake now, fuckers?

And they’re high risk, there’s been what, three separate outbreaks at the White House now? I mean, they really shouldn’t be that high risk, but who knows about should at this point.

I pledge allegiance to the redwoods myself, but I feel like those two things are allies.

You see, it would be the most American and patriotic thing ever to secede from the US. Party of Lincoln!
