Outside All Boxes

One of my favorite tropes is post apocalyptic towns being named after dilapidated signs with missing letters, like Novac (no vacancy) and Eaden (dead end). There’s something inexplicable about it

Thinking about how following the 2008 financial crisis, poverty was so bad where I grew up that many couples who no longer lived together and had broken up years ago were still married on paper because they couldn't afford to get a divorce, and fewer couples (re-)married because they couldn't afford that either — especially if children were involved, because government benefits for single parents were better than for married couples. So you'd often have couples living together but one of them would have their primary residence registered at their parents' home so that on paper, it looked like they were separated and usually the mother was a single parent.

I kind of miss it. People are too bootlicky in wealthier countries. Back home we used to steal shit just because paying for it was loser behavior. People would think you're a sucker and low-key bully you a bit if you actually bought an original CD at full price. It was a nice antidote to the capitalist mindset.

Ironically, the only people who still know how to get away with not paying for stuff and have fun with it in class solidarity with each other are the mega rich capitalists. Everyone else will just pay up.

Kid today (probably like 6 years) came up to me and was like "teacher teacher what's your name" and i was like "asha :) also im not a teacher" and he was like "okay asha asha asha I need help" and i was like "okay buddy what's wrong" and he showed me this chunk of metal he'd found sitting in the sun that he was just carrying around and it was super sharp and super hot from the sun and he was like "my hand hurts :(" and i was like "ok. put that down. does it still hurt?" And he did and was like "no." and then he picked it up again and immediately went "my hand hurts :(" again and then I was like "kid. put that down and stop touching it" and he was like "ok but when I touch it my hand hurts :(" and i was like "Please Just Stop Touching That. If you dont touch it your hand won't hurt" and this went on for like another 2 minutes before i got him to realize that if he stopped touching the metal it would not hurt. Kids are so fucking weird man

told my wife “I’m no beta cuck” because frankly she needed the reminder and she just said “if the chair fits” so I guess I have to end it all now

Someone is eating a fresh orange in this McDonald's. I smelled it and my head snapped up like a hunting dog. That smell doesn't belong in this wicked place
