The lead IT guy at my new office is the king of Linux Santas. Big gut, big grey beard, khakis with suspenders and a flannel shirt and Birkenstocks, defying anyone to challenge him or his team on dress code because fuck you the place will grind to a halt if you fire him. Seriously the IT team gives zero fucks about anything other than making sure everything works right.

The saga of my search for a job continues. Had a great interview with a recruiter to work for a commercial law firm. Looking into the firm I came to find out that an acquaintance of mine is a lawyer there. He and his dad are friends of my in-laws, and theyāre both lawyers.

Scanlation groups getting indignant about how their work is redistributed is the dumbest form of hypocrisy.

Yeah, thatās pretty dumb. I mean, sure, itās often a relatively less harmful form of piracy, and many groups do make a show of acting in an ethical manner, but itās still fuckinā piracy and they get so prissy and dramatic about it. Scans drama is almost always blindingly fucking stupid.
Related side note - remember how back in the day, a bunch of groups would use that ā100% illegal Mangaā logo on some of their pages and credits pages?
Yeah, Iām not mad at them for scanlating, I mean Iām reading after all. But if youāre going to be a fucking pirate donāt get fucking uppity about it, and donāt expect people to respect your right to your work any more than you respect the authorās.
My personal favourite is the steaming sites that ask you to not have add block so they can keep their pirate business going. Man the irony.
So that cow song. The woman who made it is actually a genius.

No safe level of driving or walking or train riding either. Gotta get from A to B somehow.
Donāt have to drink poison, though.
Donāt have to bike, though.
Also, there appears to similarly be no safe level of red meat consumption. You have to eat, but you could choose to never eat red meat and be objectively safer/healthier.
Do you still eat red meat?
Yes, but rarely.
āFor a man can lose neither the past nor the future; for how can one take from him that which is not his? So remember these two points: first, that each thing is of like form from everlasting and comes round again in its cycle, and that it signifies not whether a man shall look upon the same things for a hundred years or two hundred, or for an infinity of time; second, that the longest lived and the shortest lived man, when they come to die, lose one and the same thing.ā
Still eat Ice Cream?
Donāt you have something better to do than tell other people how to live their lives?
No, iām at work.

Work is killing you faster than other things. Think about how many seconds it stole from you already.
