No, no, it’s cool. Let them go, so the Italian antifascists have the opportunity to give them the Mussolini treatment.
This is such a disturbing idea. Setting aside that you can't do immigration work in someone else's country, the government using them as private protection is wild. The implications are staggering.

For no reason whatsoever, I’ll remind people that if they’ve ever wondered if a Kevlar vest protects against immolation— that question has an easily-verifiable answer.

Ugh. More bad dreams. Fucking yay. Love it when my brain makes me watch a man get crushed to death at an imaginary job site.

Also, let’s give Brad Pitt a cameo as Foreman Tyler Durden for some fucking reason???

I’ve been without my Lexapro for about 3 days now, and man it’s kind of alarming how chemically-blunted my emotions have apparently been.

Had bad dreams for the past few nights, and on the way to work I just randomly teared up listening to a video about how self-sacrificing Isshin Kurosaki was.

Woke up this morning to no heat— right before this winter storm is supposed to blow in.

Gonna be extra pissed if it’s because the in-laws didn’t pay the gas bill.

If you’re dumb enough to think that vaccines can cause autism dogs, let alone in humans, I think you DESERVE to contract a deadly and incurable neurological disease like rabies.

I’m done handling idiots with kid gloves.

Antivaxxers should have their own round of trials at Nuremberg 2.0.
May I remind everyone that there is currently NO cure for rabies.

May I also remind everyone there is absolutely NO scientific proof connecting ANY vaccine that we produce today with autism.

This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs.

Vaccinate your pets please.

For context, I started feeling nauseous toward the end of my shift last night due to a combination of dehydration and a terrible smell that had begun just permeating EVERYTHING.

Think welding or grinding metal; hot and acrid.

Everyone I told— even new arrivals for next shift— thought I was crazy.

Despite some technical difficulties at the beginning (fuck Windows 11), the interview went well!

I’m moving on to the next stage in the process and will hopefully be interviewing with their director of customer service next week!

Would be really cool if I could stop having bad dreams.

Big Teams interview tomorrow morning. Send me all the positive vibes you can spare?

I’m desperate to get a decent job that DOESN’T have a 1.5 hour one-way commute.

If I can avoid having to put it all in my gas tank, maybe we can finally afford to move out of my in-laws’ dysfunctional household.

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the second sentence.

“The blonde girl and the two others who are with her—tasers held casually in their hands, he can’t help but notice—put their backs to the wall and give him space.”
Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the second sentence.

"Dark and featureless enough that for a second I thought it was a black bear, half-hidden by the thick undergrowth."

I started my very first FF Tactics playthrough this past weekend and I’m already over 30 hours in.

You know a game definitely scratches an itch when it has you constantly saying, “Just one more skirmish and I’m done for the night.”

I’ve just discovered a new bug to add to my list of favorite Pokemon.

Shiny Lokix looks like it has its own suit of Mjolnir armor! How cool is that! 😍

First batch of parts arrived today! Going to try an install the new buttons and lever components if I’m not too tired after work tonight.

God this kid they’ve got “training” me is a fucking idiot. Dude makes extra work for himself (and me) by always rushing around, inevitably fucking up and missing something important or causing a mess.

And he has the gall to get pissy with ME when I say that’s the exact reason I don’t rush. 🙄

Am excited for my fightstick parts to hopefully arrive tomorrow so I can start tinkering.

Good god, LinkedIn has managed to make itself even more useless than I thought possible. The site's barely functional to the point it's like I've traveled back to the dial-up era.

I don't have the expertise to prove it, but I'm 90% positive it's because they've shoved AI into every nook and cranny.

Years later and with the constant weight of everything on my shoulders, this song still strikes a nerve and makes me tear up.

Anyone else have a song that kinda just does that to you?
