Ungh I hate missing garbage day.
Granted, I compost everything I can so it’s mostly just plastic that can’t be recycled, and then my recycling that goes every other week (for which I have two bins because I often forgot to take them out on the correct week, and a month of recycling definitely doesn’t fit in a single bin)
But by the time I actually go to take out my trash, it really needs to go out. And it’ll still take 2-3 weeks to actually get it out there on time…
Omg I would literally kill myself if I tried this. Not on purpose or anything, but frankly I’m amazed I haven’t yet killed myself. My stairs fucking suck.
They are old original stairs and they turn a corner halfway. Where they turn, there is a four-stair fall in the inner corner if your foot slips. Meanwhile on the far side it’s unclear how much further they go, because they aren’t particularly logically shaped, or even.
I mean I used to wear sunglasses at work at my desk because everything in the office was just too damned bright. Same with a restaurant job for about 2 hours of sunset when the light streamed in the windows.
Who cares what people think? Protect your eyes and do whatever you like when entering a store. As long as you can see fine, it doesn’t matter.
This is my mom picking my traits in the character creator screen… she was cheap but called it frugal.
Well we want smart so let’s add that, oh but it’s cheaper if we buy the autDHD brand! It’s just as good and half the price!
We want good at something, oh hey look there’s good at everything on sale… fine print says can’t stick with anything, but I’m sure it’ll be fine!
Oh, those two traits are locked in and have unintended interactions like anxiety and depression… well this is going to be a bumpy run but the challenge is half the fun right?
Yeah, aircraft carriers are only allowed to dock at certain ports that are equipped to handle them. They are really quite large ships. Floating cities, really. They have more people on them than the towns I grew up in. Combined… crazy, really.
The only reason I know any of this (beyond being in the navy; I was never on ship duty nor at a carrier base, tho I was 30 min from the carrier base in San Diego) is that for a while my zombie survival plan was to hijack a semi (which I don’t know how to drive), back it into a grocery and load it up, and use it to high-tail to one of the ports that docks carriers (which I also don’t know how to drive), and try to steal one. They have enough deck exposed to the sun to grow crops, and can lose enough internal equipment to make up for the weight of soil, making them workable for emergencies. So I’ve looked into it a bit… That minimum number of crew is a huge deterrent to commandeering one for this purpose though, cuz I’ve met military boys, and they would absolutely be infected early on, unless they were on deployment during the outbreak, in which case they wouldn’t likely come back to shore…
Probably because a skeleton crew for one of those is an absolute shitload of people (Nimitz-class carriers have a standard compliment of 3,200, not including the air division, so pilots and mechanics and such)… and like sure you could probably get rid of some stuff and cut that in half, but it would still require a lot more staff than a super yacht (20-50 crew), including nuclear technicians/engineers and stuff which would probably be expensive.
Plus you’d be spending a ton to demilitarize and make the below-decks spaces comfortable, as that’s the vast majority of the ship. But in so doing, you may actually alter the ballast of the ship causing it to float higher and become unstable…
Why bother when you can get a status symbol custom made for you, you know?

I think I might be going on a quest in middle earth…
Meanwhile I put my hands in my sweatshirt pockets (zip-up sweatshirt, not pull-over) and flap them like wings while slow-running at them, yelling and stomping each step. Basically do what they do, but I’m bigger.
I look insane, but they fuck right off, since it’s all signals they understand.
I used to work at a place that had a sitting pond right against the building with walkways across it and stuff and that was the only way out to the back parking lot… there were always geese… I got fed up and tried that once when I was having a bad day, and it both worked and made me feel a ton better.
