doesn't ruin the general culture.
What culture? The Scoops?

Hey, we didn't make thirteen thousand pages of happy thread content off of absolutely no forum character, yah?

Went on a work trip.

Came back with a tin full of THC gummies as a gift from the office manager I met....and her phone #.

Life is a trip, que no?

Wow, from the office manager? I could get behind that kind of work environment. The trip comes roughly sixty to ninety minutes after you ingest one, though.

Congratulations, perhaps. Gonna follow up on the digits?

There is no illuminati though. Any hypothetical shadow organization of the sort is really just wealthy people trying to make more money, garner authoritarianism, or some unethical bastard trying to get their rocks off, and that's the kind of thing that relies on exploiting people now and not making people later, and they're not really working together because powerful narcissists want more power/money/etc for themselves, since sharing means they have less.

Sorry, it really just tops out at billionaires, shell companies, and dictators, and their goals are all in the span of one lifetime. No cults, no hyperintelligence, no breeding programs. Anything you see to the effect is a small-time operation of some religious/usually racist nutter. Hell, look at Scientology, that's just a pyramid scheme to siphon money off of gullible celebrities and dodge paying taxes to the IRS.

The closest thing to the illuminati's illuminati (being a fantastical imaginary body coordinated and capable of carrying out its goals globally) would be 'meaningful government regulation' or 'human rights committee.' But since there's no such global force, we have slavery and genocide of the Uighars and Nestle laying claims to and withholding water rights in third world countries.

My hair's curly and it's down past my nipples at this point. Bit of a pandemic project, this. I'd probably keel over on the spot if someone took clippers to my hair, ahaha.

I usually keep it tied back in a low ponytail and caught some forehead winking back at me between locks on webcam this morning. Just bedhead hair? Hairline has probably always been about this way, recession doesn't run in the family, but the only thing I can be sure about is that I'm uncomfortably close to the age of thirty and that's probably about when this sort of thing becomes a concern, right?

uncomfortably asking myself in the mirror like:

"is my hair line receding, or has it always plunged that far back?"

Edit: size

Don't worry, we solved that problem back in 1995. You can too!

I have fond memories playing this DOS title on my grandfather's computer waaaaay back when I was a wee lad. Prolly explains why my brother likes shmups so much.

My local grocery store has been out of chili with beans along with instant mashed potatoes for a whole month now, and most any in the area are all out of sriracha sauce.

If there's no way to get instant mashed potatoes, of all things, maybe it really can.

I make my wife mad by asking her if we can save money by getting non-essential oils instead.

(Seriously, per gram or per milliliter, those oils are ridiculous!)

I paid fifty cents a phial at a flea market, I think they're homemade. Should mail you mine, eh?

So I have four little phials of essential oils.

...What exactly can I do with them? They were fifty cents a pop and I know they're nothing more than fun smelly oil, but I'm not sure exactly how to utilize them as fun smelly oil. Can't really put them on (it's oily), can't really spray it on stuff (it's oily), so, like, how do I use the stuff? Is it flammable (can I add it to candle wax)?

Last use case I had was to spray a bit into a paper towel and wipe the vents of my window-mount air conditioner unit, but I no longer have/need a window AC.

The milk carton is a mug, actually! It's full of nonsense facts, like it contains 10g of car and 100g of real and there's no real milk in it but it was lightly skimmed. Contains culture!

It's not especially wieldy, but it'll go great next to my marmite jar teapot.

Holidays got thrown for a loop when my folks got covid, but made a great time of my visit nearby while visiting other friends and family. Just a really, really good visit all around. Found some essentials thrift shopping, did some family friends a favor, loaded up on boozes I can't find in the area, got to see folks that moved out of the area, it's all been really fun. Instead of a big mashup of family for one great big meal, I got to spend a lot of quality time with friends and family that I no longer live near, and it was super refreshing.

Also, I own a stoneware goblet now and I have discovered today that it holds precisely one bottle of beer's worth of liquid. Also, the bar that I brought the goblet to is absolutely okay if I bring the goblet to drink beer out of on later visits. Like, 'why wouldn't you be the guy that brings a goblet to the bar if you could be that kind of person?'

Just, y'know, very happy to have made the trek, happy to have seen everyone I did, happy to have helped, happy to be home.

Send pics!

On the bright side, you didn't voice the desire to murder them this time, you only voiced the wish that someone else had done it by accident. Way to go!

In slight unhappinesses- I let my mom know today that I'm planning to apply for work internationally once the springtime rolls around. I don't know if there's a way to say or do that sort of thing without vaguely crushing someone's spirit when they want family close, even if she knew it was coming. Objectively she'll support it, but not without the barrage of 'no don't leave's that abrade my conscience.
