Today started out moderately well. I was hopefully it'd be OK. Turned to shit quickly.

So I took my e-bike out of storage (folded up and wrapped in a tarp and shoved into the corner of my dad's messy-ass workshop) last week and cleaned it up and stuff. Pretty sure I need new breaks, but that's not a big deal right now.

Anyway, so I worked this weekend and I wanted to bike in. It's about 50 minutes away by e-bike. Temperature was like 1-5 Celsius this morning. I winterized up and brought some reusable gel handwarmers and did all right: only my big toes and thumbs got kinda' cold and uncomfortable. Arrive at work and it's the new guy Swaich who fucking sucks ass there. He walks around pretending to be busy or he really is stupid enough to be constantly confused while I try to tell him what he should be doing and he reverts to aimlessly walking around the kitchen looking in the fridges. I only ended up getting 10 minutes of breaktime all day. At least everyone else seems to understand it's not my fault. Before I left my Dad texts me telling me he wants me to get another ham, presumably for Easter but I wanna' know why first because I wasn't sure how much money I had in my bank account and also the only store that would sell some on my way home has a lot of foot traffic and I didn't wanna' leave my bike in front of it (theft, knocked over, etc.). He wouldn't tell me, just said we needed it because he's a fucking idiot. So I went to get it and hid my bike out back. Got the ham. As I walk out I get an email alert saying I've overdrafted. Fuck! At least the payment went through. Stick the ham nestled into my coat and then strapped into the side cage on my bike. I bike home and it's really nice. I should have kept my coat on but I kinda' needed it to hold and protect the ham because my backpack that I brought to work is totally full with my winter gloves, water bottle, e-bike battery charger, etc. Listened to the Chapo episode that got posted here this morning and it was pretty funny. Had to jump under blankets as soon as I got home. Noticed my fucking strap I used fell off my bike on the road somewhere, so I'll probably never see that again. I found it on the side of the road but it worked perfectly for what I need and don't wanna' buy another thing. I'm trying to save money but it keeps disappearing, especially when I gotta' loan money to my parents constantly for groceries, which is made worse because my parents aren't talking so they're using me as a fucking middleman while my dad takes money out of my mom's bank account to pay for bills that he doesn't warn her about at all.

Mom's tired and doesn't wanna' make supper, so I gotta' do that again tonight. Made poutine and a side pasta dish, my portions were veganized. It was OK. Kinda' tasted like the KFC salad + fries & gray a bit.

My sister loaned me $50 until next pay at least. I fucking hate working there and living here. The other guy that worked there was new too but he has a little kitchen experience and he's really nice so he helped me out a little. Told me his prep cook job at another restaurant was easier and more pleasant than this nursing home kitchen job. Off for a few days at least and sister is coming over for Easter tomorrow so that'll be fun, probably.

Let's get some horns up, brother. We're doing a heavy metal bedroom.

Western leftists would rather bring back Pepsi 1893 with extra CO2.

The government expanded self-banishment services to the shadow realm recently and I don't know how to feel about it. I support people choosing for themselves but the government also cut back DM card allowances and seems intent on encouraging people into the shadow realm.

Also, I gotta' be honest, walking around an infinite shadowy graveyard looks really shitty.

I hate those guys too.

Send me a vegan Snickers please. I'm pissed.

 

Like, what the fuck?

 

The mod who removes the most posts gets a Moddie and a genuine soviet-era watch. My mole could only describe the trophy since photographs of it all corrupted. It was gold-ish; tall and yet also squat at the same time; pointy and yet flat at all ends; eye-hurtlingly shiny but also had a cataracts-like darkness around it; seemingly light and additionally heavy. It also had a hefty hexagonal base and Wedding cake groom-like little man on top.

They had trouble remembering what the other awards were for, but felt most of them involved censorship. Also couldn't remember who won them.

They said then after this was handed out they rated every user on a giant tier list that took hours of debate and I got put in the bottom of F tier. SoylentSnake was top S tier for some reason (I don't get it).

 

... courage and time to do so.

Thanks for being a communist. putin-wink

Friend linked me a video on advertisers in NASCAR and I could only make it like 2 minutes because it's just them talking about the seemingly positive mental associations they have with auto parts brands and winning racers. Supposed to get to "weird" sponsors later, as if it's more weird for there to be a Scooby Doo ad than an M&Ms ad for some reason.

A bunch of these other kinds of videos just talk about like Five gum ads and their "rise and fall" as if that literally matters at all.

 

Literally nothing in my life ever goes correctly.
