Wulfric? Are you sure? 👻 🎃 😈

How bad is it right now? The state of the world has disappointed Gen X . Gen X had little to no expectations maybe a few aspirations. We planned for the worst and still got worse than we planned for.

Even if voting doesn't matter, do it anyway. Every day we spend time doing things that don't matter. Might as well cast a vote that might just do something.

It's Sea Otter Awareness Week! https://www.montereybayaquarium.org/change-impact/our-conservation-work/sea-otter-recovery-program/sea-otter-awareness-week

I have a suggestion. What if the people making the choices were also responsible for facing the consequences? I know it's a novel concept and probably a bit crazy, but what do think? Can we try it?

Why do I find social media exhausting? Me: *Posts or responds innocently or jokingly, gets a favorite or two, may get an enjoyable comment or two* Angry Commenter 1: *Finds the most negative way to take it and responds with haughty arrogance* Angry Commenter 2: "This mentioned some obscure thing 99.942% of the population find innocuous but I take offense to. It should have a CW!" Angry Commenter 3: *Finds a way to bring gender/race into the conversation such that I'm a horrible person because I am a CIS white man and they want me to know I'm not welcome to live let alone voice an opinion* Angry Commenter 4: "BUT GENOCIDE! Sub-tooter: "I can't believe some people respond innocently or jokingly and expect to get away with it." The saddest part is I am talking about Mastodon which is the place I have the best experiences. Why do people have to be like this? This is why we can't have nice things. #SocialMedia

Today, I woke up and chose

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Tell us you are a sadistic, greedy, narcissistic prick with no morals or empathy without saying that.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social 19 out of 20. I've never had a particularly good whistle.

@the_etrain@beige.party I don't think I've ever seen better pricing on consumers, they're practically a dime a dozen. I wonder if they'll keep in the freezer.

@catsalad@infosec.exchange It's clearly been separated from its herd and is seeking help.

Now I'm thinking about the idiot I saw yesterday with an American flag, a Trump flag, and a confederate flag flying in the back of his truck. Um, two of those flags directly oppose each other dude.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@VeroniqueB99/116936906365213926 I'd book that flight even without taking it.

That's it! I'm getting off this med before I start turning into MAGA or finding unwavering faith.

@catsalad@infosec.exchange I agree 100%

I found my old portfolio on a backup! The cellphone case is one of my favorite pieces. I even refused to sell it because some chud offered me $20 at a craft fair. I still have it and use it as a case for my multitool. #LeatherCraft #Hobbies

Olfactory hallucinations are annoying. I usually can't identify the scent but I do often try to find where it is coming from only to figure out that it doesn't exist. At least it doesn't smell like toast, I guess.

How does one go about declaring one's independence from the human race? I'm thinking I'd like to be a divergent species. I'm not saying I'm more evolved than anyone else (forget that whole homo superior concept); I just don't want to get lumped in with many of the humans out there these days.

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social I'm probably most of the way there then. 🦧 I will become the cryptid I want to see in the world.

You can't legislate morality. You make a list of morals and punishments, but won't prevent anything from happening. Laws only work after the fact and if they are enforced. Immoral people will do horrible things so long as they think they can get away with it.

Is finding 1000 people willing to give me $5/month really such a unreasonable ask?

@MamaLake@beige.party @violetblue@mastodon.social @TheBreadmonkey@beige.party You can't just run around unmasking our heroes like this. Besides, Ben can't be Count Binface. I was on a conference call with both of them and Mitch McConnell for about 20 minutes earlier today.

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social I've had similar situations. In the grand scheme, maybe it is worse when you can identify the smell that isn't really there.

Why do PMs like to use "Perfect is the enemy of good" so much? I used to hear it a lot since I'm a QA engineer. I almost got into trouble once because I responded with "and Good Enough is the enemy of functional and customer satisfaction." #QualityAssurance #Development

@diazona@techhub.social Spoiler, remember the corgi when the detective was using the payphone...

@log@mastodon.sdf.org I thought that was how it started.

@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza Much can be forgiven with a little Christopher Lee.

Larry didn't make it. He didn't deserve your attention anyway. #monsterdon

@log@mastodon.sdf.org Awake and at home are positives for this movie.

Beware of baggies with string. #monsterdon

🎶Look at Dean and Sandra Dee, tempting Old Ones from the sea🎶 #Monsterdon #Grease

I would have preferred if Larry took her into the fog and they lived happily radioactive ever after. #monsterdon

"We need to to get to the devil's hup yard." *hup hup hup hup hup* #monsterdon

You are clearly upset. Let me get you a drink and take you to bed. #Monsterdon

He's just blowing them off the side of the building but the National guard couldn't kill them with tanks? #monsterdon

If you can't make it to #Monsterdon tonight, don't worry. It's not the end of the world...oh wait...as I happens it is The End of he World.

"I was using the spear to get my balance and guard just ran into it." #monsterdon

I know we just saw the captain die, but we're alone in this penthouse and we might not make it out... #monsterdon

The real monsters were the survivors all along. #monsterdon

"Would you care for a sedative? " YES! #Monsterdon

Surrounded by corruption, corporations, and climate disaster, my brain has dragged forth a vague memory of a movie. This could be fun as a watch party like #monsterdon, but I'm not sure where it would fit. Is there an "Apocalyptic Tuesday"? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091981

🎶They fired their guns, but the locusts kept a coming... 🎶 #Monsterdon

She should quit while she has a head. #Monsterdon
