It's 2024 and we're still looking into other people's pants.

Do eeeeet!

Had. Poor thing died of starvation.

From my experience I found that people who are fine with authoritarianism for various reasons are the ones that want to be relieved from decision making and responsibility. It makes their life easier when they are given directions rather than thinking for themselves. Not all of them reach this point voluntarily, sometimes life just forces them into it.

Here's the list:

Big Periwinkle (alternative: Douglas Iris)

English Ivy (alternative: Alumroot)

Giant Reed (alternative: Willows)

Iceplant (alternative: Purple sage)

Onion Grass (alternative: California aster)

Pampas Grass (alternative: Giant wildrye)

Red Sesbania (alternative: Western redbud)

Russian Olive (alternative: Valley oak)

Tree-of-Heaven (alternative: Big leaf maple)

Mine is a textbook example of a self inflicted knife wound that involved separating frozen burger patties with a very sharp knife. Knife slides between the patties and into the palm of my hand. I managed to not pass out and make it to urgent care where they stitched the cut together. Still have some nerve damage. Don't do stupid things with sharp knives kids.

What a coincidence.

I was just thinking the exact same thing the other day. Dude needs to take his meds.

When I had my first job as a receptionist, our fax still printed on thermal paper rolls and we had a particularly bright customer fax us a 50 page contract. I was almost in tears as I watched a newly replaced very expensive roll getting wasted in minutes. I called my supervisor to vent and he walked to my desk with a sharpie, wrote IMCOMPLETE across the roll and said "fax it back to them". They were calling us back in less than a minute screeching on the phone to stop transmission.
