Guess who’s back (back again)

So that post about the accident with my parents got deleted off our local page. But then guess what!

Another one appeared in its shadow.
This kid had another friend try to stick up for him and showed a picture of the accident. Everyone who wasn’t his “tobacco flavored beer sounds amazing” friends and family told him to promptly fuck off. This has been the more surreal thing I’ve even witnessed in a long time, especially on a local page about bad drivers. I can’t even explain how confused I even am over all of it.

Not only that, but all the older adults managed to completely tear apart this kid’s lie and I’ll be honest with you my justice boner was full mast. Harder than a rock. I’m then messaged by three people because of me just telling the truth: one hillbilly who just told me to shut the fuck up, and one woman who knew this man child. Turns out this kid went full biker retar.d and rides bikes with nothing to show for his ownership and that he’s an actual nuts for brains. The other is a lawyer who was actually telling the kid he’s fucked only because he admitted to being at fault later PLUS he was uninsured.

Turns out he’s going around telling people a story that doesn’t even make sense. And people believed him.

I wish my state would be consumed by an unforgiving fire.
 
For fun, I've been looking more into my ancestry. I've learned that the earliest verifiable date we have for my ancestors being in America is 1621. I've heard the possibility that some of them may have arrived on the Mayflower (though I'd have to see proof) and that there's a pretty fair chance that the earliest of my ancestors arrived during the century before that. So besides the Indians, my family has some of the earliest nativity to America there is.

Besides that, I believe we have lines to a lot of nobility and some royalty in England. I'd like to go there at some point and see if I can find some of these families. My high blood may possibly mean that I can trace my line back to a Roman family. But that is perhaps hopeful thinking.

The more I learn of my profession, halfway onto the market, the more I dislike parts of it.

I understand that press releases of today are a series of Facebook/LinkedIn posts that require catchy graphics and methods to hook readers, but dear lord do I hate it. All those annoying articles with hypothetical questions in the leading paragraph, 50 personal anecdotes, and as many pictures as paragraphs? They're not AI produced. At least not all of them. They teach this shit as highly effective, which it probably is, to all your run-of-the-mill communication graduates.

Obviously it's no better to become a Wendy's intern who tries to be a real memelord; there's a balance between the two, but they keep enforcing this shit on the bright new minds meant to represent the latest in academics to eager organizations. Every article on it utilizes the exact same tricks as it's teaching. It's like rich people becoming rich on telling you how to become rich, but in an academical field.

But they act on nature. The cat is nursing the younger one because it's beneficial to the pack to some capacity. It's what I struggle personally with in terms of pets. They don't do tricks to humor you; they do it cus they want a treat. And even if you do it for 3 years and it still does it on command, it still wants a fucking treat. I feel bad making any animal do a trick just to pet it. Sure, if it's one of those dogs that go fucking bonkers for scratches, I can sort of reach that 'treat' level by accommodating it, but to think dogs and cats are genuinely capable of larger thought not bound in its survival seems unlikely to me. It'll probably change when I get a dog, since I won't have childhood experience and get to learn it all as a capable and thoughtful adult.

I think it depends entirely on the individual animal, not even the species. Some dogs seem to see things in terms of treat or no treat. I've owned dogs like that in the past (a Labrador retriever being the biggest offender.) However, certain dog breeds are smarter than others, and with those dogs it can be as difficult as interacting with a human sometimes. My current dog doesn't act simply on survival or treats. Regardless of if I have a treat in my hand (I really don't give her treats ever except for recall), she behaves in a way that often goes against her instincts as a way of either pleasing me or upsetting me, depending on mood. When you eventually get a dog as an adult, you'll have a different view of them, provided you get the right breed.
 
The most bizarre legal defence featured on Kiwi Farms is still Sick Nick's "I eat shit, therefore you must acquit ."

Wonder how them 40 years in the pen is working out for him.
 
My brother keeps taking our alcohol and replacing it thinking it makes up for taking our stuff.
He constantly swipes my liquor when i'm away from home and drinks my stuff, buying me other things to make up for stealing my shit, thinking i'm supposed to be okay with it.

Living with alcoholic narcs fucking suck.

It's amazing and the marijuana really amplifies my perception of this.

Growing up I always thought they were so robotic, and when I would be riding through town and would see all the dead bodies on the streets I was completely apathetic towards their suffering.
Now all of that has changed.
I now feel for the animals.
With all that said, I have been observing my cats and trying to get the older cat to open up to the younger one and it is just such a fucking cool experience.
This + the ganja is far more interesting than any piece of shit garbage game that has been released since 2008.

What town do you live in? Sounds horrifying.
