One other person mentioned it but I’ll put Tom Goes to the Mayor out there too.

I feel like if you didn’t grow up in the rust belt or some other dead part of the USA without anything but public access TV, a lot of the humor is lost on you.

But for those few who did…it was nice to feel seen.

Tripping The Rift 💀

Now that I haven’t heard in ages.

Would you like to see something strange and mystical?

That one was perfection. Rowntree is a really good artist in any medium.

Oh, I remember that one! I think I still have it…

Even that is very modern-looking to this Chaucer enjoyer.

Isn’t this essentially WikiLeaks?

There’s MUDs like Carrion Fields and Lost Souls.

Am I doing it right?

My paternal grandma died last year. And my dad remarried in 2017.

Not really enough time for his new wife to establish much rapport.

Dad had always been a Mama’s boy and lived most all of his life clinging to his mom’s skirts anyway.

Yet when grandma died it was the new wife who casually sent me a picture taken with her phone of my grandma’s corpse in the hospital bed.

Horrifying, and very inappropriate. All of this is to say that I can relate to your situation and no, you aren’t overreacting.

I would like to sit naked in a bog, eating leaves, and sleep in a tree dreaming of nothing at all.

I mean, go and do that now then.

You may not want to hear this but if this describes you it simply means you’re an uninteresting person.

Change my name to Horatio.

The world would collectively chuckle at my/our stupid reference.

It’s great for the first few weeks , maybe a month or two.

I graduated in September, job searched through December, finally signed a contract, but I don’t start until April. I am counting down the fucking days, my dude.

Having finished graduate school in September, I will be starting my new job soon, and pitching in (voluntarily) at the workplace until then is a refreshing change. It’s nice having something to do.

Except for the names he spelled wrong. Some unrelated people will die.

If you take a view of America as it truly is and truly has been, rather than an idealized view of what it could be or says it is, it’s hard to say that America is the superior option, especially considering the direction that America has been going over the last 30-50 years.

At least Chinese investments in renewable energy and sciences and general human development are actually underway, unlike the United States, which seems hell bent on halting or reversing all of the above. And this is not even a trump thing, that has been the trend for most of my adult life, at least as far as I can tell: Rising anti-intellectualism, gutting the arts, science denial, and doubling or tripling down on non-renewable energy sources have been the milieu in the USA as long as I can remember, having been born there in 1990.

Hey, I studied at Sophia and even met Dr. Mari, even if just in passing! Neat!

Jesus, man. I don’t know what it’s worth to you but I at least read the whole thing. You seem like an alright person who’s just been punted around by the failures of the US to care for its own: hiding carcinogen information, making unhealthy food the economical/convenient choice, not to mention I’m sure that navigating the health care system was a nightmare.
