Can we please get hundreds of people down there to continuously shout “HUUUURRRRRR DUUUURRRRRRRR” until the project is finished?

I feel this. I did really poorly in school (ADHD), didn’t go to college, and my last IQ test yielded only marginally above average results (and for all I know I just guessed lucky or am good at pattern recognition). But despite feeling like I’m still a naive and immature idiot with no idea what he’s doing, the more my wife and I associate with the parents of other kids in my daughter’s class, the more we realize we’re quite possibly the only fucking adults in the room.

Damn, though… That is a dank ass track. I can hear the spring peepers from here. Really peaceful place…

I read that as “fucked them in the balls with no lube” and I really liked the way it sounded.

Freeman’s Mind is such a comfort to return to every now and then. Ross has one of those Homer Simpson voices that make me feel warm and at peace just listening to.

(a spherical teaspoon of white glurp floats past)

“Wot? Wadn’t me.”

John, you’re the only man on board…

“Don’t know wot to tell ya, mate. Said it wadn’t me…”

Space deniers are the bottom of the fucking barrel as far as I’m concerned. I don’t know what it is about them, or how they got so fucking stupid, but there appears to be no limit to their ignorance.

I grew up foraging mushrooms in Michigan, but ever since moving to Alberta I’ve never felt comfortable hunting mushrooms here. I need to go with someone confident who has done it their entire lives. But I did learn recently that a different species of morel actually grows out here. I’m going to try hunting those this year.

Bees went fucking nuts for my lupine, even while living in an urban environment. Only problem was that the aphids did too. So many that it was revolting. I had to aggressively remove them every single day of the colonies would explode and destroy my lupine within a very short time. They’d suck it dry.

I mean… Yeah… This is kind of how it feels here.

Great until the cops are looking for that one Juggalo in Jamestown but you have to represent…

I’m still afraid to switch to Linux because I’ve used Windows since i was a kid with Windows 95. It’s gotten progressively worse, and I’m still reluctantly camped out on Windows 10, but the thought of firing up a new operating system and going back to being a confused adolescent who doesn’t know how to get around (with or without accidentally making an older woman crouching in red lingerie the desktop wallpaper on my family computer and then denying any knowledge of it) makes me really uneasy.

Please, Linux whisperers. Calm my woes. 😓

Remember the Saja Boys? This is this now. Feeling old yet, Gen Alpha?

He said ants, not aunts.

What’cha got there, m8?

One toilet? Fucking hell. I can’t even piss in a public washroom if there are other people present.

If the bombs go off near the wrong zoo, it’ll be pandamonium…

It’s disturbing how apparant this all is. Backed by all of these assholes from the very start, and now he’s going down the line chopping every last thing that held them back as though he’s splitting logs in a pile. AI regulations, gone. Any kind of oversight, gone. Okay, who next. Chevron! Thanks for your support. I knew you were smart. Everything beneath Venezuela is yours. Fuck 'em.

I’m in a weird position where I’m making an okay wage ($25 /hr) for not having a college education, but my wife is encouraging me to go to school full-time as a mature student to make use of my potential. I’m open to it, but I also have two kids (a 6-year-old and a 2-month-old), and at my current job I make my own schedule and have the flexibility I often need to deal with unexpected child-care issues like illness and school closures. I’m also treated very well at my job, and it’s the only job I’ve ever enjoyed going to. I haven’t felt Sunday work anxiety in years.

I know that higher education is always the answer, but I don’t know when to pull the trigger on it. As a father, there is a lot more value to my current work situation than the wage I’m making.

I also have no idea what type of career I would even pursue, and it kind of scares the shit out of me.

I never fully grasped the true scale of a single galaxy (and then expanded that understanding to the observable universe) until I hopped in my ship in Elite Dangerous and actually set off to cross one. Holy fucking shit, does it really help put it into perspective when you’re traveling between vast galactic arms, hopping individual stars 50-70 Ly at a time and trying your damndest not to stretch yourself too thin in fear of running out of scoopable fuel/stars.

If I were an Astronomy teacher, Elite would be my most profound and precious tool.
