Good judgement come from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement.

I don’t know exactly how much of my warped view on reality is directly attributable to reading the Guide at a young age. I hope most of it.

I fucking hope you’re right.

Hell, I’m more worried about the US /not/ breaking up. The whole country just lies down and accepts the decline into authoritarianism.

Rumor is that’s what happened to Elon’s dick. Botched enlargement surgery.

This is kinda cool, but not novel. Metalheads have been doing it in mosh pits for years.

Ha. You’re reading more malice than exists there. Portland is famous for having excellent craft beer and plentiful weed. That’s the joke.

Yeah, let’s not take medical advice from the dude who doesn’t wash his hands.

You’d have to spend the whole day drinking craft brews and mainlining reefer to think that.

Oh. Wait. Portland.

Good thing climate change is a liberal hoax. Otherwise I’d be worried, right?

Well, the government hired Stanley Kubrik to fake the moon landing. Problem is, he was such a damn perfectionist that he demanded that they shoot on location.

I was at a festival in Austria a few years ago when it was about this hot. Like, you stepped on the asphalt and left a footprint hot.

The only thing to drink was beer. If you needed something refreshing you had to drink radler (beer+lemonade, 3%).

I saw 3 people leave in an ambulance. Tons of sunstroke and dehydration. It was a fucking problem.

Online sales can be brutal, just a warning. Amazon and the like have set a precedent that no local, independent seller can fulfill. Everyone wants free freight, and they expect their product in a day or two. They don’t understand that not only does Amazon have its own national distribution network with centers everywhere, but Amazon doesn’t make money on physical products that they sell. Selling shit online is a loss leader for Amazon. Small businesses can’t eat the cost of that.

My company got an online order from someone 3000+ miles away on a Monday, to ship FedEx ground. She called us on Tuesday angry that she hasn’t gotten it yet.

Our location is in the name of our company. It should be very clear that it will take more than a day to go that distance. You would think so, at least. She ended up canceling the order and we had to put everything away. Wasted easily an hour of company time for absolutely nothing.

Three times now I’ve been in Germany heading towards France. On every stop along the way people got more more rude. Anecdotal, I know, but god dammit.

It already is. So many of my favorite bars are closing…

I’m doing my part!

The asshole doesn’t fall far from the tree.

In my experience it’s regional. Back home, a chode was a gooch. I moved, and all of a sudden a chode is a tuna-can dick.

It’s like how a reach-around meant a completely different thing where I’m from.

Don’t they know that work will set them free?

Yes, names like Smith, Schomaker and Tanner come from the family business.

Don’t ask about the Dickinsons.
