I should've just fucking kissed her

It’s interesting seeing the Straw Hat flag being used in protests. It’s been seen in Indonesia, Nepal, Turkey, and Palestine.

When people are being cringe about flags, they're always squirrely and evasive about what they mean by it. It's often obvious that they support exactly whatever said country is doing, even the "bad stuff" but won't admit it when pressed. You also see a lot of people who want to "reclaim" that flag, as if it has ever meant anything else.

All that to say, I'm surprised there isn't a symbol (e.g. 👥) you can superimpose on a flag to signal "I mean the people who happen to live in this area of the world and cultural context, explicitly not the state". Not that I think it's a "good idea", I'm just surprised it doesn't exist.

I just saw a clip of RFK jr speaking. Has he always sounded like that or is it recent?

Knowing that next time Im at work I'll be teaching a 17 year old how to kitchen as opposed to finding out our new dishwasher is 40 years younger than the previous on when I showed up to work had led to me working on some strats. Mostly in regards to making her feel less nervous. She's in grade 12 and works 2 nights a week...i wish the chef had hired someone full time cause we need it, but it is what it is. Im just used to training grown ups who have had jobs before. She did a fantastic job on her first day, she was better with the pizza paddle than I was on day one. Her issue was she kept asking me if each pizza was done, I said her judgements has been great so far and I trust it, if in doubt take it out early cause it can always go back in. She fucking killed it but I could tell she was scared as hell to screw up the whole time. Her dish technique was bad where she wasnt letting the machine handle the work and scrubbing each dish. I think I have a curriculum figured out for both, it's just a mentality shift when you're used to school, failure is not only an option but a great way to learn and everyone around her has a decade or more of kitchen and at least 2 years at this place, we are crazy good at the job and we can whip together a replacement for anything that gets fucked up in no time. So far there hasn't been any mistakes and that is great but I can tell she's scared of one so id almost like to see her fuck up do she can know for sure its not a big deal. She has been killing it for the most part tho, I was soooo much worse at that age, I didn't give any effort at all and stole money from the till

green paper is worthless, unless it’s coming from the treasury with a cute pic of mr franklin

My lunch is potatoes in one dish and broth in the other. It's one of my ways I look after myself since my tummy has been meh

Anyone got a link to that image going around recently with the headline 'Microsoft says 30% of new code to produced by AI" up top with a graph showing a increase in windows crashes/erros on the bottom?

Both clips are good

Well the new job committed some serious cringe today. I was shown a Jordan Belfort video for training. But I also got some (kind of) good news. This is a really competitive sales job, so I either get fired or get promoted in 6 weeks. And I also get fired if I'm not making a grand a week in sales. So this is my first shot I've had to be above the poverty line and getting my finances together in a long time. This job is gonna push my autism to its limits but at this point I'm dedicated to getting moved out of state. If I can pull this off, I'll be making 5k a week and living in Portland, I could get so many of my friends out of this increasingly dangerous state.

Seitan my beloved

I am tired of having to be high on pregabalin (I am right now even) to cope with the job search and the resulting storm of emotions inside me. At least I am progressing through the Higurashi VN and I really like it so far so I have something to look forward to.

She called me, we had a really long talk.

I told her how i realized the beautiful people I'm surrounded by, the under valuing of myself, of my backsliding into an awful person, of my future, of my mistakes, of my past.

She's had a really really tough time. Like everything's been falling apart. (perhaps not really but she's catastrophizing) I offered her an ear, i heard her problems, i told her of what she needed to see before, of what i was doing, of the future she wanted, of the future i was working for. About how we're approaching the end of the world, and how it would be comforting with someone.

If she is willing to take me back, then I have to leave it up to her. I dont want to, and didn't beg for forgiveness or anything, but was 10 toes down on my commitment to myself to grow. I cant persist as this person as i am. I need to better myself and complete my journey.

The talk was gentler at the end, but for now all that's left to do is to wait for the letter she was writing to me. I dont know what it'll say, and I cant predict if she's open to reconciliation or if it's over. I have to now wait for the final word. :::

When getting into punk I thought This Could Be Anywhere by the Dead Kennedya was too long. Now I am certain its the most prescient song ever written. "It takes a scary kind of illness To design a place like this for pay"

i got some vegan chicken stock at work that tastes kinda chickeny, and I just made some powdered okra as an experiment to see if I could powderize okra (i could), i'm thinkin' maybe i'll suggest doing some kinda marinated tofu gumbo with the okra powder

Temp agency has an app I can finally use only thing is because I carpool with my mom it has to be something during her shift. Ok but when somethings does show up I confirm interest it says already 50 people have signed up for it too. A pain I can't sign up for multiple jobs because when I pick one locked in and unless I withdraw I can't see other jobs. I really really don't want to go back to my old job at my mom's place if I can help it.

I just found out Ghislane Maxwell's dad is the bad guy in the Tetris movie. Crazy world. Probably still wont watch it.
