Remembered I could go swimming indoors for free by walking to a public indoor pool thar is like 5 minutes away. Swimming rocks and no kne else does it at midnight so I can throw on tunes with a Bluetooth speaker and just kinda flop around and vibe. It was never a big swimmer but always loved to do it when I took acid and got amazed by it. Smoking a shitload of weed and hitting the pool at midnight while listening to Throbbing Gristle is a sick vibe

ESPECIALY whe the issue comes from having it easy

Dude i work with who I have worked 30 hours a week with for 4 years and get along okay with but his being bad at picking up after himself sticks in my craw big time literally admitted without any shame at all that his mom picked up after him as a kid when I asked him to do so and he said he didnt notice he was leaving things and volunteered this info. I just left it with 'your mom.doesnt work here, and youre 36 years old, dude. Cut it out' but damn that is fucking pathetic. I was cleaning up after myself as a toddler to the extent that I could. I never had to do any major household chores but I had to take responsibility for the messes that I made when I was capable of doing so, hell, I even got to negotiate terms, it was my job to haul.the recycling downstairs when it was full and my folks mentioned I hadnt been checking it and waited until.they said it was full, the recycling bin was under the sink with the dish cleaning stuff so they would naturally see it cleaning up after supper where I would have to make a specific effort to check. My 12 year old self explained this and they understood the logic. Dude was spoiled and his family is crazy rich and he doesnt seem to understand that, his dad was an architect who designed a fucking shipyard in mt town and his mom got the Order of Canada and he didnt even know why ot even what she did for a living, rich people are absolutely fucked. It's kinda funny cause they come eat at the restaurant we work at and often dont even come up to our open kitchen to say hi. Front of house has reported they are trash tippers, when my parents come in they tip 30% cause they're nice people and their child and his friends from work are the ones making it, and I generally hook em up with free apps and tell the line when their ticket comes in who it's for and to add extra everything. He doesnt even acknowledge when they show up to the rest of us. It's not even a professional thing cause the chef is totally in support of sending some freebies to family members who come in. He is super guarded about them but drops tidbits like the fact that they spent 2 years living on a houseboat. Rich people are fucked.
