I know it’s fairly pervasive everywhere, but I’m in Houston. Most of the restaurants here would have to go out of business.

often are looking for fleeting pleasures to mask trauma or other mental health challenges.

I thought I told you to stop reading my journal.

Oh, they’re trying to project authenticity?!? Have they tried, you know, being authentic?

I love curse words, they’re half my vocabulary. That won’t turn me off. But strong language alone will not move the fucking needle. You’ve got to meet people where they are and really give a shit, not just try stunts.

What is a juggalo?

I would bet good money that when we’re closer to November and one of them drops out we’ll see a bunch of Republican money pouring into the campaign of whichever one is left.

Cletus Luxlunae. He’d specialize in spirits. And he’d hate TERFs because they ain’t minding their own fucking business.

And a lot of recruiting companies are afraid you’ll bypass them and go apply directly, thus cutting out the middle man and they’re not allowed to send out goons to break your kneecaps.

That’s no fucking joke. I started with a passion for learning about computers. I love what I do now because I’m a one man company and answer only to myself and my contracts, but I didn’t turn on a computer outside of work for fucking years because of the burnout.
