Love the smooth brain types who implicate themselves on social media. Keep up the good work, Donny is proud of you.
I've said this before: assholes like Weathermen weren't this fucking clueless in dealing with the law. These bozos are closer to COSplayers than revolutionaries.
Oh they're living in the land of make believe, no doubt about it.

Like when the right paint Kamala Harris to be some radical socialist, I really wish Biden were this cool:
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

It looks like some shots from Metalacalypse with Biden stuck in there.

Spot on observation. I think every job I ever held was my "dream job" for at least a few months, then it became more like the salt mines. I think that's probably true of most people, I don't know, maybe I'm wrong.

Every job that has become unsatisfying has been for the same reason—a boss who fails to model the kind of behaviour they expect from everybody else. You expect me to give a shit? Then you give a shit, too. If you don't want employees to fuck the dog, then you can't be a lazy dick yourself. The best jobs I've ever had were where I had no or minimal supervision. Don't bug me unless I'm consistently fucking up and don't let me see what an irresponsible ass you are.

This is the truest thing, in my experience. Most every single job I had that I liked was ruined by a shitty boss.
