  • I love Beyond Meat products, but lab grown still freaks me out a little. It’s hard to articulate, but I don’t know that I could eat it without imagining some kind of wet, pulsating mass of slimy flesh sitting in a bin of some sort in a lab, with tubes and wires hooked up all over it. I know damn well that’s not what it is, but the image is there. I hope I get over it.

    I’d rather just give up meat entirely and stick to plant-based alternatives.






  • I feel like the days of pearl clutching over profanity are on their way out. There is always a time and a place for it, but I grew up hearing “fuck” come out of my drunken relatives every other word. My parents didn’t say it, and they didn’t let me say it, but the only real weight the word ever had was that it was cool and exclusive to adults.

    One of the biggest culture shocks I had when moving from the US to Canada was how much more laid back everyone is up here over profanity in general. Almost everyone uses it, very few people (save for maybe the elderly) get uppity when they hear it, and I’ve heard it used freely on FM radio many times. I still think it’s trashy to fly a FUCK TRUDEAU flag or decal on your car for everyone to see, but nobodies up here clutching pearls. They just think you’re a dick.

    Not sure why it’s still such a big deal in many parts of the US.

    Even as a father I’ll never understand the weird insecurity that dads like this experience. Like, am I thrilled that my kid is eventually going to grow up to probably grind and smash with her boyfriends behind the Quiznos? Of course not. But being brooding and possessive about it is weird. Maybe even Alabama kind of weird.

    I had only quit one job out of anger. I was the Front End Lead at Kmart and my boss and HR lady met with me to explain how the current PM Supervisor was performing terribly, and offered me her position. I accepted. They must have spoken to her about it and then changed their minds or something, because a couple of days later she came in all slimy and confronted me at the counter, saying she heard I met with them and was gunning to take her job, etc. Obviously she had not been removed from the position and now there was this fucked up dynamic between us. I was livid that they put me in that position at all. I went to speak with the HR lady and she said my boss had apparently dropped the ball on the whole ordeal, so I found him in the store and quit. Told him they did me fucking dirty and walked out.

    A week or so later I finally answered their calls, and they had demoted her and gave me her position, along with a decent pay raise. I probably shouldn’t have taken it, but I did. Outside of that incident they had always treated me pretty well and were accommodating of my time off requests throughout the years. Taking that job set into motion the next decade of managing at every single business I applied to – only leaving jobs due to one closing, and two others due to moving away. I’m still managing now, but I work in the grocery industry rather than straight retail.



  • It’s honestly pretty fucking sad. It’s a bummer to see how many people on this planet become willful (sometimes) cannon fodder for some perceived glory that feels bigger than them, but in reality, their motherland is often just another gluttonous vampire slowly feeding on their necks and humming songs of heroism into the victim’s ear.

    This man’s vampire probably watched his family starve with indifference, and then after this guy committed some sort of crime of desperation, it pulled him close, stroked his hair, and whispered that there was still a way to make it up to him. To make it up to all of them. And my, how proud you’ll make the motherland.
