Funny enough, that was one of the reasons for not taking the job at the time.

There were, in fact, cool rocks.

Way back in 2017 I was offered a job managing a small retreat center in the middle of bumblefuck nowhere along the shores of Lake Superior.

The pay was exceptionally low, but it came with housing and food. 8 months out of the year would have been spent just being there and keeping the place in order, the other 4 were for hosting guests.

I went back to school instead.

The fuck was I thinking? I could have ridden these shit years out as a weird hermit.

Dawg, someone find this man and throw eggs at him.

I have all the sympathy in the world for the workers here, but I fucking hate the New York Times.

This paper (like most media) enabled the 1st Trump presidency by giving him all the attention as a candidate in the 1st place.

Then they sold themselves as principled opposition and made a pretty penny doing so.

Now they’ve done all that shit again this time around.

Fuck um.

I regularly see 2 on my commute. I wouldn’t exactly notice that I have a similar commute to other people, but a Cybertruck sticks out.

1 of them has been painted a matte black that looks like a chalkboard (good luck to them when the road salt comes out) and the other is the regular finish.

Either way, I’m always thinking about just how fucking dorky the things look compared to everything else on the highway.

And it’s not like they’re using it for anything cool. They’re both just stuck in the same traffic as the rest of us.

I truly love that the writers set Dukat up for a redemption arc, but that he chose to become worse instead.

Yeah. I know this is supposed to make us all say “fuck, I’m old” and all, but this just sounds like a fantastic night.

You can buy something like this here in the US.

The roll is smaller, and they market it as being made for camping (takes up less space in the pack, etc). It also, of course, costs more because of this, since modern camping gear loves to price gouge.

If you’re going to pack TP though, just spool what you need around something smaller in diameter (like a skewer). Or if you know what you’re doing then just use leaves instead, those are free.

Kayfabe is the wrestling term for always staying “in character.”

For those who don’t know, the guy on the left is a professional wrestler called MJF.

His whole persona is dedicated to being a tool, and he’s pretty good at it. Highlights include telling the world that he’s “better than Moses.”

What I’m saying is that he’s doing a bit in this image. It’s kayfabe.
