Today was a huge slap in the face with the reminder: *Your employer does not care about you one bit beyond how productive you can be for them* Thats the cold, hard truth and I got slapped with it. Wanna see the red mark on my cheek?

Firebombing a Walmart is not violence. Denying the food inside to those who need it is. When you understand this, society starts to look pretty perverse.

Just saw a screenshot of a tweet ending with "This is not a constitutional republic at the moment". And uh... yeah, we know. The proper term would be "fascist regime", I think

Sexy butter ratio for mashed potatoes

"no borders, no nation" dont threaten me with a good time

-singsong voice-🎵 I hate golf course, yes I do I hate golf courses. You should, too. Bad for the environment, and our communities! Find less destructive enrichment activities!🎵

The golf course work came up quick Golf is weird. And bad for the environment. But also, just a strange sport

Woke up sick. Some type of respiratory infection Among COVID and all the health scares we've had recently, it took me far too long to realize that I've got a cold A "classic" chest cold. No COVID, no weird infections. A fucking cold

Tis the season To watch The Crow Because it can't rain all the time

Boss: "so we've got some work coming up at a golf course..." -desire to make and drop seed bombs intensifies-

I live in NorCal, but originally from Arizona Everyone i knew back in AZ are becoming realtors. Its a plague, and i simply dont understand.

Bsky ain't cooked Bsky burnt

The boom trucks are refusing to work today I think they became sentient or something, because they're acting like people when people dont want to work

Trees require more work than people realize Especially tree planting. Sure, feels good to plop down some new sticks and pat yourself on the back. But unless there's a plan to take care of them in place (i.e. trimming, disease/pest control, WATERING!), planting trees may cause more harm than good

100 million shitlibs in the streets together would be quite social engineering marvel, actually

Fucked by the boss once again No, not the fun kind of fucked. Quite the opposite, actually.

I love the smell of burning rubber and exhaust fumes in the morning Especially when those fumes come from cars doing 60+ (96+km) in a 45 mph (72 km/ph) zone

So my employer is trying to get into traditional logging by doing some forestry projects for fuel reduction Fuel reduction issues aside, the project at large is NOT going well for my employer. Its actually kinda funny how not well its going. But the contract got extended 12 more months somehow 🤷‍♂️

You know that thing that ruined mobile gaming? No, not G̶a̶m̶b̶l̶i̶n̶g̶ - "loot crates". We'll, kinda Game devs saw "whales" as more valuable than normal players - small percentage of players with very high incomes. Now scale that to the whole economy...

Why does the family always want labor intensive meals when its *my turn* to cook? Italian stuffed shells?! In this economy?!

giving homeless people housing is a good litmus test to see if someone actually cares to solve a problem or not. if they want to solve homeless they’d just give people homes.

Are there episodic youtube channels? Or just... entertainment channels anymore? Getting kinda sick of video essays

So when are we all moving to Reddit?

My boss pulling a federal government and being a hypocritical and whatnot Nothing big, just changing the starting location about 3 times. Without telling anyone.

First time in my life ive got the "Sunday Scaries" and its because I really fucked up last week. Like "We were gonna fire you, but so-and-so likes you, so were gonna give you another chance..." type of fucked up. Acknowledge my luck, bow my head on the clock, and get through some shitty days ahead

Fascism is flowering in America after its roots got established and it put out some new growth Fascism is also an invasive species. Spreads quickly, consumes everything, pushes everything else out Its time to remove some roots. Otherwise this is gonna keep happening.

Its October 3rd

My neighbor has a pile of woodchips sitting in their driveway since last week The backyard trees need new mulch before the rainy season, so i wonder if they *need* all that chip?

laws aren't real, as many are learning way too slowly

Two and a half years into my position, and my boss FINALLY admits what I've been saying since the beginning: I was not trained well when they first promoted me. Not that thats any excuse. But its nice to hear a "Yeah, we fucked up. We're sorry about that" from a corporation.

Fuck I just accidentally gave my coworker a compliment and the narcissism came out full fucking force Yeah, buddy. You're the glue holding this company together and when you leave, the company is gonna go bankrupt because you're no longer on payroll..... 🙄🙄

Government shut down? As opposed to what? Government shutting up? Both are acceptable options

Worst "tell me you're fascist without telling me" I've seen yet

There's a black hole in our bed!

What in the AI-generated fever dream am I watching here?

Gun violence at a church now

What if you took one of those old-timey dog-catchers with the wire on a long pole and just start dragging ICE away from the person being arrested with it? Full Saturday morning cartoon style

I was today years old when I finally accepted that "Treat others the way you want to be treated" is some shit ass generic advice "Treat others the way *they expect* to be treated" works a lot better for a lot of day-to-day interactions Not everyone wants to be treated like you want to be treated

Wow does shit roll downhill And it can gain a lot of momentum before it hits you in the face

"Run the World (Girls)" just came on in the store Im in, and I can't even think of Beyonce I just see Channing Tatum in a wig and giving an amazing performance on that lip sync battle show.

This has "moving funds from savings to checking to cover a withdrawal" energy

So we're in a little high school clicque-esque tiff with the landscape contractors right now about grassy areas around the city A literal turf war, if you will

Im throwing a stick at the next person who says "irrigation" to me today

Car-brained Americans Send post

Lore content and fan theories were a mistake, I swear

"What its like to be a content creator" is a concept i hold in my head far too often for someone who has exactly zero interest in "creating content" online Id love to vlog my job and do silly little videos about my life, but thats... documentation and blogging. Not content creation.

"US is on the road to facism@" Nah brah. Its done off the road, parked, bought the VIP Pass, and is now wandering freely about The "road" ended a long time ago. America is a fascist nation now The only question is how long we let the fascists stay in power.

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

Me: Sure hope I dont sweat at work today before my haircut Me, 5 minutes later:

I hope those 36 hours are just a pit stop to your *real* destination. I lived in Sedona, AZ for... 5-ish? years. The geography is impressive, but it *should not* be as popular as it is, imho
