SARGE

Shit, if I sold my old Xbox stuff I could probably reach a NATO capital in 3 days.

I assume I will be met with a surrender when I get there? It's only fair.

It's been very telling this week at work.

I live in a very red area and work in a majority red industry. I hear people talking shit about "the libs" all day. I hear tons of coworkers talking shit about anyone on government assistance because the "welfare queens just want free stuff with no work"

It seems that just under 3/4 of the people I work with were getting SNAP benefits.

A box has been set up in the break room so people can bring in food, and others can take what they need.

The shit talking has stopped, at least. No jokes about "welfare queens" anymore.

If I had the money and ability to trust strangers I would hire people to clean my house for me.

I love the loop of "feel bad for not cleaning - depressed - don't clean - stare at floor - feel bad for not cleaning...."

On one hand, I have adhd and depression, and my parents definitely have at least depression. So I'm used to messes everywhere up to and including not seeing the floor for a week or more at a time.

On the other hand, I feel bad when someone gets in my car and I have to move one or two items off the seat.

This reeks of "other people have it worse so stop feeling bad for yourself" energy.

Congrats on being on par with my narcissist in-laws.

Just a guess based on "covid" and "candles", a ton of people negatively reviewed candles for not smelling good/right/at all, not realizing they had lost their sense of smell from covid at the time.

I know my spouse had the realization our cold was covid because we couldn't smell the candles we had bought (and smelled) the week before.

go fuck a duck

Poor duck....

On one hand, I have a coworker who clearly angrily scraped his trump stickers off the tailgate, and on the other, I have a coworker who straight up held a nazi salute with an audible "heil" when he started talking about his favorite band, Rammstein.

Now I don't know anything about Rammstein and their political views in general, but I've known a few Germans in my time and they all held very strong (negative) views on the nazi regime.

Most coworkers have stopped talking about politics and such in general during breaks though.

Depends on how many you eat...

Well ~~a wave~~ turbulence hit it.
