"I'm in Finland, the No. 1 happiest country in the world! Here are 4 phrases we use every day!"

let me guess 1) Fuck Russians! 2) Fuck Swedes! 3) Let's have a beer! 4) That makes no sense, *I'm* not all that happy and neither is anyone I know.

I reiterate my opinion that if I'm the smartest person in the room then something has gone dreadfully wrong.

really gettin' into it, making a THRRRRRGGGG! noise when he puts the staff of Ra in the right place, throwing up the horns, waving a lighter in the air when the light finds the exact location of the Well of Souls etc

@Chip_Unicorn Congrats!

responding to the chambara soundtrack with a deep HYOOOOOOO

Some nights you wish you could bring about Tikkun Olam.

Other nights, you wish you could bring about Ragnarok.

* remember, you probably aren't going to get $100K+/year to start off, you're looking at more than 20 years. Worse tech jobs have this pump and dump tendency (remember, they're there to make as much money as possible, not to have a committed corps of devoted happy employees), so you might not be looking at even 10 years of really good stable income. And a chunk might go to the company's retirement thing.

* HOUSING. In order to get $100K+/year at a job, you're almost assuredly working in Seattle or the Bay Area or somewhere rancid. So either you're flushing money down the toilet so some landlord can be comfortable, OR paying a lot of your savings into your own place.

* other expenses. Maybe you want a fursuit or attending a con. Maybe you want GRS or a potential skin cancer looked at (remember, American health care is about hurting people). Maybe your car gets totaled. Maybe you meet someone and have a family. Money goes away quickly.

I'm really sorry, and it's maybe not impossible to get something out of this mess, but AFAIK this system is set up to make sure rich people get richer, not to allow non-rich folks to survive. I mean thrive.

The real reason to draw fantasy art; never have to figure out automatic weapons and vehicles in perspective.

The catch; HORSES.

@Kusimanse the story;

a while back I was thumbing a game supplement of Underdark PCs, including a suggestion of how to play derro insanity. I thought it might be fun to have a character whose valuation of treasure is purely internal and is likely to collect prize loot, stuff which would be fantastic for other character classes, and complete garbage. So to this brave PC the fish nailed to his shield is a powerful magical talisman.

you have the right to food money
provided of course
you don't mind a little
investigation
humiliation
and if you cross your fingers, rehabilitation
know your rights, these are your rights!

@frost They also; wanted to know how I'd respond to coworkers with different views, whether I volunteered for any organizations, and which organization I might nominate for their charitable giving program. I have my suspicions of what this means, but I definitely feel it's overstepping boundaries.

I really don't trust anyone asking me to record an interview. I feel like that's a test of how I look.

Many thanks to KForce for whatever screwed up Java on their site not only didn’t upload my resume but crashed my laptop. Many thanks to Microsoft for Edge opening if I so much as breathe on a windows box. Look, I’m a not very bright wussy arts and humanities type, so please go easy on me.

#drawing from earlier today.

while you were partying I WORKED ON MY SHITTY SELF WORTH ISSUES

while you were having premarital sex I WAS STILL WORKING ON MY SHITTY SELF WORTH ISSUES

while you were at the gym getting healthier I WAS STILL CRANKING AWAY ON MY SELF WORTH ISSUES

and now that the world's on fire and the barbarians are at the gates I AT LEAST AM NOT BEATING MYSELF UP FOR NOT HAVING MUSCLES OR GOOD MEMORIES OF PARTIES AND GETTING LAID

#subpost SNAP INTO A SLIM JIM!

I mean, SHIFT TO MANABOZHO!

I mean shift to CRINOS. You know, a 9’ tall lumbering war form, with tiny ears and a big bulbous schnozz and shoulders out to here. No elan whatsoever. Er I mean.

this again

"Ah've made mah peace gesture, th' fohms of canle have been observed!... An what Piter did not tell you is we control someone close, REAL CLOSE, t'duke Letah! This person, this traitor, is more valu'ble to us than six legions of Sar-dow-kar! Now Ah won't tell you who the traitor is or when we'll attack. However, the duke will DAH before these ahs an' he'll know, HE'LL KNOW! that it is AH, Bar'n Vladimir Harkonen, who done encompass-es his DOOM! HOOEY!"

* slaps enormous belt buckle *

Saturday my Dad asks if I was up to go to Bham with him on Thursday, and I told him no, I was gonna be up early Thursday to get a friend to the airport. So last night he leaves voicemail about do I want to go to Bham with him on Thursday. One of the many things I’m currently irritable about.

*blasts One Hundred Years*

These are the final days! Even our pups know this is the Age of Apocalypse! Now the Wyrm rises to eclipse the moon and a question hangs heavy in the air, when will you Rage?

SUNDAY I get to play again technically! I'm SO STOKED!
