Salting the earth

Your products are horrible and your storefront is offensive. Of course I want some. I’ll take two of everything. Including those… What did you call them? “Other customers?”

I’m so sorry you had to deal with that, and fuck your dad indeed. While I spent my previous comment railing against the institution vs the individual, I now see your comment as railing against the individual who does not use the established institution.

That’s one of those “you would have helped more if you’d tried less,” kind of scenarios. I’ll never understand a parent who will punish children for their own choices.

I hope that you’re doing better now, and I hope that telling your experiences helps to prevent or end even one situation similar to yours.

Why’d you offer if you knew you didn’t have everything you needed???

Also, fuck parents who don’t pay child support for their own kids.

I can’t wholeheartedly agree with this statement, only because it puts the onus on the lowest rung involved parties.

Instead, I believe “fuck governments that don’t provide enough support for a single parent to comfortably raise a kid.”

I don’t have kids, I don’t want to have kids, but I also don’t want to live in a world where a kid could starve or succumb to the elements because their parents weren’t ready to have or raise a child. If a parent who doesn’t pay child support means that their child’s well-being is negatively affected, then a child with only one living parent could experience the same negative effects. Why should any single parent, or child of a single parent feel stress due to the absence of a single-entity third party?

Working in education, I frequently meet parents who don’t want to be parents, and shouldn’t be parents. I met people who believe that financial support equals ownership, and only continue harming their children because of mandated financial responsibilities. I meet single parents who are legitimately glad that the other party doesn’t pay child support, because it equals freedom from oppression or abuse for the parent and child.

This comment kinda sounds like I’m attacking you, and I apologize for that, it’s not my intent. My intent is to break as many people as possible from the belief that it’s okay that raising a child costs two incomes. Raising a child should cost zero incomes, so that the people raising a child can experience the child as just a child and never a financial burden. I can’t even say “fuck parents who don’t help out,” because there are plenty of parents who I don’t want to see involved at all.

I vow to pay actual money to see one movie from any actor who signs the open letter.

CPAP Club! Yay!

My favorite way to sleep now is on my back, with my blankets tucked in all around me so that I look like a mummy. And I get to breathe just fine, cuz I’m fucking scuba diving in my own bed.

I use a CPAP, and I can tell when it didn’t help because I’m uncomfortable, and my wife is sleeping in the living room. Or she yells at me.

For me, I enjoy the sound of light snoring, so my wife or dogs snoring a little bit actually helps me fall asleep. If my wife starts snoring too hard, to the point that it sounds possibly painful or problematic, I gently adjust the position of her head, or get up and physically move her.

I’m also not talking to your father on behalf of you

I assure you that they’ll prefer the kick through the balls

I would like one evidence, please. And some old fashioned.

I’m not just a hobbyist fartographer, I’m also licensed as a court fartographer. I’ll be listening closely to the two of you…

They weren’t even untrustworthy farts. Both times, it was suddenly waking to the realization that I’m about to have diarrhea. Remembering that I’ve left no buffers for mistakes, I overexerted myself while trying to get out of bed. Thus begins the poo stew stream of shame.

I just put notices on their tiny doorway that says I’m raising rent. Sure, I’m never gonna actually collect rent, but they’re too stupid to know that.

You deserve this

Damn right they deserve to be free from that kind of personality

If I’m correctly reading into the history and motivations of corporations, this is part of them donning their hot dog suit and saying that they’re trying to figure out why everyone is mysteriously poor.

After that, they’ll put on a ROCK/BAND shirt, a backwards hat, and carry a skateboard before explaining that this “poor” is hitting everyone the same. And they’ll lay off thousands or millions more than they already have

Then…

After proving once again that they’re the “job makers,” they’ll get their emergency loans, buy out weaker competition, and everyone will accuse them of foul play.

Finally, they’ll hire everyone back at fractions of their previous pay, even though the cost of living will have disproportionately risen as well. People will fight, there will be strikes, and then the bleed will be slowed, but not stopped, by the companies “giving in to demands” that are actually neutered facsimiles of the original bargaining proposals. But everyone will be too tired and poor to continue fighting. We’ll all ask our politicians how this could have happened and why they still trust the corporations. Then we get to watch the old song and dance all over again:

That’s an odd comment to make… Say another one, I’ll probably enjoy that one, too!

I’ve said it on here before, and I’ll say it again: all both of the times in the past decade-ish that I’ve been naked to bed, I shot diarrhea across the bed. I’m not taking that risk anymore.

Anyway, here’s Wonder Wall
