How Swede It Is

happy first day of pride everyone

they’re calling it the worst finals matchup in professional sports history

There is so much that I can criticize the NHL for. Like sooo much. And I will. But as I watch the Stanley Cup playoffs, I'm always reminded of the of one of the things I love about the NHL: players come from different countries, often speaking different languages, and they all come together to work on a common goal. It's not implemented perfectly. Overwhelmingly these players are coming from North America and Europe, and a very specific economic class. But the door is opened for international connection, and that is exciting.

The most horrifying thing about being a human is that no matter how intelligent you are or how much customer service training you have, nothing will stop you from being the idiot customer on occasion. At some point you won't read a sign or you'll misread a menu or ask the dumbest question a human has ever formed and there is nothing you can do to prevent this. It will happen. Accept it and continue on your way as one of today's dipshit customers.

If you are a vampire NEVER feed from someone named Richard. 400 fucking years and everyone still calls me Dick Sucker

The fact of the matter is that I do not want to do it

"do what?" you might wonder. well. [gestures broadly]
