  • Thank you. I have a great job, with people I enjoy working with. It’s relatively safe, pays well, and I get to do interesting and different things almost every day.

    But I leave the house at 6am and don’t get back until 5pm, and that’s just because my commute right now is super short. I’m physically exhausted to the point that walking across the street from where I park my car to my porch is embarrassing, as I’ve worked all day and then sat stone still for 30 minutes. I hobble like a 90 year old woman.

    If my job was 3 days a week at 10 hours, I think I’d be pretty happy. But my job doesn’t work like that, and if it did then I’d be broke.






  • Yeah you are wrong. And your long lecture seems to miss the point.

    Of course shit was aweful then. The woman took care of herself, because the cops, and society in general didn’t give a fuck then and barely do now.

    I wasn’t even pointing fingers at those cops back then, I was pointing out the absurdity of the current detective/investigator/whatever he is when he so flippantly dismissed the whole ordeal as…

    “I think she just was removed and, you know, moved on from things and kind of did her own thing and led her life … She sounded happy. Confident in her decision, no regrets,” Hanson added.”

    How fairytale.







  • I must say I e never played Skyrim, and I didn’t know how beautiful it could be. I might have to have a closer look.

    I play a game called “The Long Dark”, and the first screenshot with the aurora made me do a double take. In that game you are alone in a northern Canadian region that has been abandoned both due to economics as well as some in game magic that makes electricity not work. The survival mode is just “live as long as you can, then die.” It’s permadeath and can be incredibly frustrating and cruel, but the beauty in that game is unreal. I’ve ended a 6 day run (nothing to me now, but a big acheivement at the time) because I was watching the Aurora on a clear winter night. The music was somber and I thought I might freeze to death as I crossed this long rope bridge. I should have been looking at the bridge, because staring up into the sky I suddenly was getting further away from it … It was maybe a 3 second fall as I realized I either walked off the bridge or maybe there was a gap or something.

    “You have faded into the long dark.” -wasn’t even mad.
