When your end of year roundup includes no international news what?

Well, I’m going to have to figure out some other way to work it, then. Because I’m already chronically depressed and understimulated.

And from what I’ve heard, at least a few years ago - I had a couple of friends who were teaching English over there in ‘05-’06 - those poor salarymen get absolutely shithoused almost nightly. Not to suggest that I don’t like a drink, but I heard stories that seem almost incomprehensible. Guys in suits passed out in…

Whereas, ironically, I will most likely be continuing to work on the data science course I’m taking. I’ll just probably be having beers and doing it at my parents’ kitchen table.

I take your point, and it’s a decent one. I’m just personally sick of all of this talk about the HUSTLE. You gotta HUSTLE, bro! Get out there and CRUSH IT! How about no? How about I get paid reasonable money for a reasonable workload and you can go out there and CRUSH IT all you like? I know having a life is very last…

What a dildo.

You do realize no one is actually advocating for harming another human being right?

Yeah, no one knows who Mike Trout is.

You think BLM calls for the assassination of all police officers? Are you insane?

I like this guy.

Now that my local distro has finally started selling 6 and 12 packs, it’s getting slightly more reasonable, but yeah, this is still a bizarre goddamn state for blue laws.

You are, how you say, fascista, no?

The Democrats will fuck you over but act like they feel bad about it; the Republicans will fuck you over and go, “What are you gonna do about it?”

God, I fucking hate boosters.

I’m one of those sound weirdos - ASMR or whatever the hell it is - and I used to find his voice quite soothing to fall asleep to. Never the whole show, just the Wobegon stories. I suppose I still do, although now I’ve got better options.

That’s LIQUID football!

I have a really close friend in Buffalo who is a total sweetheart. And there’s a slim chance I may have to move there for work in the spring. I like the notion of nuking idiots and leaving places intact. Your other points are spot-on, however.

I should have read your post before I posted. The regional one is cool-looking but unimpressive, in my very limited experience.

A guy I know has one, and unless they gave him a chump one - which they might have, I think it was a local Emmy, but anyway - I’m not sure you could do that much damage with one of those unless you get someone in the eye with one of the wings or prongs or whatever those things are. It’s pretty lightweight.
