This feels insane. I might have a problem.

So this is the best haul I've seen in a decade or more.

I stopped at a junk shop out in the desert. Lots of tools, road signs, furniture, glass, pots, southwestern lawn art, etc. Lots of stuff in sad condition. This is not a curated antique market. An older lady runs the place, said she buys auction lots and resells them here. Inside was just piles of barely sorted everything, lots of shelves, and not far from the front door I spy records. I'm wary. They're stacked vertically and haphazardly. And I hate sand. It gets everywhere. She says these are $1 each, and has no idea what they are, so I get to sifting.

It's mostly hip hop and funk, but that ain't all. A bunch of it is VG+, in sleeves! Funkadelic, Mos Def, Sza, Kid Cudi, Earthgang, Bernard Wright, OutKast, Nas, Tribe Called Quest... There's a Cage the Elephant, Mac DeMarco, Fleet Foxes too, and a bunch of stuff I have no idea about.

But then I pulled out this. No protective sleeve, but I've got those, and it's pristine inside and out. No way does the Star Blazers soundtrack have any business sitting around a desert junk shop in excellent condition for $1.

I gave her $40 and didn't even bother counting how many I grabbed. No, I ain't saying where. I'm going back.

It's certainly dissonant. If there ain't metal versions of this, somebody screwed up.

Seize his stores then. The city can run them for the people.

Amazon sent me this one by mistake a while back and it looked interesting, so I kept it. I haven't listened to it til now.

It's quite likely a belief that sunscreen lotion is a bad thing that harms people. Found that one out from an old high school crush from FL. She looks like leather now.

I believe it was SAP Concur that my last employer used for filing expenses. Every few months it popped up a notification asking me whether or not I "loved it." I always answered "no," because fucking why would I? Then it wanted to know why not. I think that's inappropriate behavior in a professional setting, and I told it so. Regardless, it kept asking the same thing, so I asked if it wanted me to speak to HR.

Nothing ever came of it.

TLDR got sexually harassed by a corpo app.

Let's ban corporations from owning residential property. It makes zero sense.

Record the farts. Sample the audio. Create music.

Listen here you little shit.

He's too senile to change tactics. I'm willing to bet half the reason he chose Vance was because they knew he was going to screw up and say Pence a bunch, and the similarity of pronunciation would give them plausible deniability.

Mark my words. These people are not just willing, but eager to unleash nuclear hellfire in the Middle East, under the ludicrous delusion that they can fulfill prophecy and force Jesus to return. They shouldn't be trusted to run fast food joints or craft supply stores, much less a superpower. It's an apocalypse cult. They've convinced themselves that they're better than everyone, but their religion spread across the globe by genocide, enslavement, and forced conversion, not by loving their neighbors. They have been trying to end the world for 2000 years.

As a veteran, if a woman had done this to me, I wouldn't even be mad. That's hilarious, and I'd tell everybody.

"I feared for my life!"

Yeah I'll bet you did.

Fucking coward.

Reporter SLAMMED for overuse of the word SLAM in clickbait titles.

Probably not even written by a human though, really.

It might slide into the doorframe with a sci-fi hiss and recognize your approach to unlock, but it's a 100% manual, electric sliding door. If you walk out of your basic apartment and don't manually close the door when you leave, it WILL be open when you get back. It'll stay open the whole time you're home. Who ever saw a manual, powered, sliding door? If you didn't realize this was a dystopia, there you go. That's hysterical. I wonder if they set it up so you'd get burglarized for neglecting basic security. And if not, why not?!

Whoever thought that up is an evil genius.

I often work in rural TX. I've had a number of Texans suggest I ought to move there, cause muh freedums. Yeah, I target shoot a little, but I'm lefty as hell. I talk about guns sometimes to deflect questions about my politics.

They are so full of themselves. They think because great grandpa was a cowboy that they inherit all his toughness. I don't know how grandpa lived, but I know Texans today live mostly in air conditioning and love shopping, huge portions, and convenience. They're fully convinced there is nowhere better on Earth. But no, I've been all over the Earth. TX sucks and I'd never move there.
