I’d just be glad to finally return to monke

I feel like I definitely read that in middle/high school

I’m good at counting pennies

Choose your flavor of charlatan

8000 a year? That would be a huge help. Like it would alleviate almost all of my burdens.

Scrip is kinda low key a thing again. My SO works for wawa and there is definitely some scrip vibe. They have a company store, a points reward system, they will put you through school if you take classes that benefit the Corp, and the only way to move up is to basically bootlick management at weird company festivals.

It all has this very dystopian vibe of “everything within the corporation eco system” and my SO is a very principled women who is shy and kind and she refuses to take a step to elevate herself within the Corp, but getting a union going is pretty hard where we’re at, everyone is very much of the boot tasting, welfare queen bad variety.

I can confidently say I’m cringe af

That’s not how nicknames work

What were we talking about?

I’m at the “I’m actually glad I experienced all that crazy traumatic stuff” stage of the gas lighting.

It’d be Jesus for me. I love a highly principled man telling me what to do.

Look it’s a commie! Get that dirty hippy!

China is the high-water mark of human governance!!

Don’t forget to collect your college credits on the way out!

Where the jewels?!

It’s already extremely easy for LE to drum up basically whatever charge and stick it to you, for the majority of citizens with no funds for a lawyer.

We’ve already got the plate scanners. Everytime I drive by one, my file pops as a red flag and a stop is more than likely, just to “check in” with me, usually with some false pretense like “i thought your window was cracked, my bad, but where you going tonight?” I’m not technically on paper, but I am treated as such. Easy arrest potential with some bs probable cause.

The fact that it will continue to go further doesn’t surprise me. Makes the job even easier for them. If you aren’t a good consumer, you will be prosecuted.

It’s actually all my fault, everyone.

The wheels fell off this one for sure

My partner got a duvet for us…I fuck that shit all up. Wild sleepers!

People where I live now are genuinely afraid of the city for sure. There is some merit, but only if you go looking to step in shit.

For me, I’m largely desensitized to city stuff from a lifetime, and I’m tired. I don’t like it anymore.
