Abso-goddamn-lutely. And it's not just lying, you have to be good at bullshitting so they believe you. And if you are good enough, you can make a career out of it.

Sorry it took me a bit to process 800 times more information than what allistic people process, but yep, my current emotion is pure unadulterated rage.

I'm an "elder millennial" and can still remember some of the dumb shit kids did when I was in school. This is so fucking on brand.

So I became a Shopify scrub this morning. I live a life of lies. My entire stack was reliant on avoiding corpo bullshit but I really need a solid eCommerce solution for if I get a client that wants to sell artisan goat milk soaps or whatever. I was gonna go with headless Shopify but sort of realized I can probs get by easier just using their drag and drop stuff and buying one of their themes and tacking it onto the cost of the site. I am thinking about adjusting my pricing for a hybrid model. So the initial cost would be cheaper by at least $2k but the catch would be that I would get a small cut of the sales as commission. Like 3-5% or something. This is going against a market that easily sells eCommerce sites for upwards of $10k.

Anyway I poked around this morning for a few hours after setting up a Partner account. It's not a huge learning curve so if I decide something else down the road I'm out like 2 days of grind?

As soon as I saw the cast, I figured it was gonna crash and burn. I hate seeing this happen to one of my favorite franchises but holy fucking shit, they couldn't have done anything to save this. Jamie Lee Curtis as Tannis? Were they like "she's skinny with short hair. Perfect!" and that was it? Could they have picked someone actually funny to play Claptrap? I honestly think the least offensive choice out of the bunch was Kevin Hart. But like also why did they go with Eli Roth. Were they like we'll forgive you for Hostel and Green Inferno if you make this masterclass in cinema happen?

Also having Krieg just be in there feels so random. They could have written in Gaige, Mordecai, or even Axton. Kreig without Maya backstory just seems like a cheap gimmick.

I'm still gonna fucking watch this slop too...

E: lol kill me

Why hasn't Burning Man turned into a giant crypto grift by now anyway? Or has it?
