I was the person who wrote all the posts, now looking for freelance work.

Nothing like taking out the ‘93 Mercury Sable for a drive.

The St. Anger snare is fine.

People can’t be bothered to read or do shit because their comprehension is trash. This happens constantly. I taught college courses for years and it was pulling fucking teeth to get people to answer essay prompts. For example:

In One Hundred Years of Solitude we see generational cycles of behavior blah blah blah, which characters fit this pattern, which characters do not, and why?

95% of answers: only characters that fit the pattern. They read the first few words and ignored everything else, and then have the audacity to complain that I said they only answered half the question.

I love Affinity but didn’t know Canvas got ahold of them. Shoot.

You mean like the collections of artists/authors?

Use a greasy ring of Papa John’s garlic butter sauce to stick that Parmesan rim on, you got a deal

I’d clock it at a fraction of 1%. I had one relative I’d hear from once every few months who always forgot to unblock their landline number before dialing, and then there’s the rare healthcare number that you’re not meant to be able to call back (but you’re told to expect the call). But effectively all of them are spam. If it’s important, they’ll leave a message and callback number.

Chewy is pretty awesome for stuff like that. Condolences for your loss.

Yes.

You’re never too rich for g4p.

Yes, his Boy Harem.

You’d be so surprised! The hobbies are inherently good. But people — specifically, influencers — use them as gateways to the broader movements (so-called wellness and prepping as described above).

Edit: Here is one such piece on the co-opting of yoga.

It kind of merged into a couple things, from what I’ve seen: “wellness” (you know the kind, antivaxx mommy blog crap, Joe Rogan raw meat diets, supplements), “preppers” (people ready for a race war and living off the grid a la The Turner Diaries), and the “tradwife/MIGTOW” stuff. There’s the splinter adherents from various right-wing influencer podcasts thinking JFK or whoever is going to reemerge at Dealy Plaza, but those invariably fizzle out. The integration into broader movements is where it’s thriving. You get lured in with yoga, then next thing you know you’re canning beans because you won’t be the one eating bugs because that’s what the democrats want.

They can always take a break in The Wiggler

More emails asking for donations? Have we tried this? Man I’m stumped

In my location, back when I was in dating app hell, everyone kept saying they liked bonfires and the beach and hiking, so I wrote “hate bonfires, the beach, and especially hiking.” It paid off.

So his emotional growth was literally, uh… well… you know…

NFT ducks in a gacha system

Had two hamsters (Calvin and Hobbes) growing up. Both just got old and sick with old hamster stuff. Their deaths happened exactly the same way: my mom reaches into the cage because they haven’t been moving much for a while. Their last act of life is to bite her finger as hard as they can, so she naturally flings them at the wall in front of us kids. Splat.
