Hey straight fellas: if you're only gonna be nice to The Wife once this year, why not make it today, the day she will most expect? (If you do it another day, she will suspect you're feeling guilty about something.)

Buy some heart-shaped whatevers, some red roses, and why not chocolates, women be loving chocolates am I right? Stimulate the economy and maybe your dying sex life by spending money at the mall on the way back from the email factory. Healthy Relationship™

It's the anniversary of my best friend dying and work is always hell cause I work in a sorta fancy but not too fancy restaurant. We are hilariously overbooked tomorrow, at peak times tables need to be flipped in less than an hour. We're gonna have a line out the door and people getting mad that we'll be cutting their valentines dinners short. The owner's hubris and greed is gonna blow up in her face. I'm not turning food around any faster than normal, don't overbook.

Within that year 2 other close friends died. Abkut 11 more distant friends and I think the body count of people I know whomdied got to be around 30 between 2021 and 23. Fentanyl sucks

That's awful, I'm sorry man. No wonder you hate this time of year.

This year has actually been pretty okay cause I got into 2 new hobbies around the start of winter, gunpla and noise music. January and February have always been the worst part of the year.

February

Hell yeah got any Noise recs? I liked the other music you pointed me too last year

It's more something I like making than I like listening to. But Brighter Death Now, Merzbow, Nurse With Wound, Einstürzende Neubauten, Throbbing Gristle, SPK.

Making it is a pretty spontaneous thing for me and ive just been recording live stuff i do with my phone. I posted my stuff a little while back

I would recommend headphones or better than a phone speaker for my stuff. It's noise, a lot is lost in bad speaker

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Reminds me of “Would you like to make fuck BERSERKER”

me too doggirl-gloom but I will worry about being lonely when my other problems are sorted out. I don't care much for commercialized capitalist holidays anyway. Also, some article soon: zoomers are making their own thoughtful gifts for their partners and it is hurting the economy. There is no love for the fincel shareholders 😔

Well I'm still gonna make dinner

My love life is as frigid as the month this holiday takes place in.
