Do you care if others see you as an asshole? Remove morality and other social obligations from it, if you don’t like someone, you don’t like someone. If spending time with this person upsets you, don’t. Hell, even if you force yourself to go there’s a chance he’ll get under your skin and you’ll end up causing a problem.

Thoughts like this are likely how The Church of Euthanasia got started.

Would I know it’s my last day? If so, skip work and take a nap. If not, work then take a nap.

Honestly, the best you can do is try a bunch of stuff and research the company if you like it. It also really depends on how you define an ethical company. Even if you remove capitalism from it, if you look into deeply enough you’re going to find that every company has done something unethical or works with an unethical party within their supply chain.

Honestly, I mostly use it to find local shows. I haven’t found a good replacement for finding that kind of thing.

Yes! That is the word I was blanking on!

An art project/bench outside of my high school the last day of senior year while waiting for friends to finish finals. I forget the term, but the bench was covered in small glass/ceramic pieces to form a pattern on it. Super uncomfortable, would not recommend

I don’t own a cloak, but I’m 90% confident that they’re more convenient than coats/jackets

Human brains have the strangest triggers.

‘This exact thing will definitely kill me, this nearly identical thing is fine.’

Existence is wild.

What has helped me with this was seeking out local bands and seeing them live. Check out local bars with live music nights or open mics, wander around the biggest city in your area and look for interesting flyers and stickers, or [other useful advice]. As a bonus, when you find bands you like they often play shows with bands that are of a genre you’d never seek out yourself.

I felt that was true for a long time. There are a lot of sub-genres out there that don’t promote that kind of thing. Honestly, and this is probably me wearing a conspiracy theorist hat, a lot of hip-hop that essentially glorified a lot of horrible traits was just what a lot of old, rich white dudes figured would make them money.

I grew up going to various Christian schools as a kid. While it wasn’t a common viewpoint, I did hear of it from time to time.

The reason behind it, to my knowledge, was that Catholic practices would often be significantly different from other denominations’ practices. The biggest thing I can think of is the veneration of and praying to saints.

I’m a software dev. I went to a recruiter and shouted “ME WANT JORB!!!1” and they gave me one.

However, I was only able to get my foot in the door because of friends I made in school.

EDD sounds similar enough to ED that people might get the wrong idea.

With that being said, I’m not going to use the term extensively.

A close friend of my deals with schizoaffrctive disorder. One of the greatest guys I know, but it definitely has a huge impact on his life.
