You are in my brain

Five years ago I could get a foot long spicy italian combo with chips and a drink for less than $10.

When the world has gone to shit sometimes you gotta focus on the only shred of fun or respite you can get. I too am looking forward to the distraction of football, if only for a few hours every week.

Modern dating apps are my personal hell.

So do deer, this is intended as a mental shortcut to roughly approximate size instead of a precise measurement.

I’m so glad I was dumb before smart phones were this prevalent. Any video evidence of my antics is either relegated to some long forgotten drive, or is too low resolution to be of any real concern.

It’s not a felony, it’s a misdemeanor according to the article.

To be fair I encounter that problem with other adults, too.

Yep. The grass is greenest where you water it.

When I was an undergrad my professors put a big emphasis on developing a portfolio of work and picking up experience where we could before graduation. For me that meant freelancing a few times a month while working a part time job along with class. Internships are great, but everyone had to have one to graduate from my program. A degree will set you up, but a portfolio of work and related experience will help set you apart.

Honestly it's among the main reasons I switched grocery stores from Dillons (Kroger owned) to Aldi. Over the last three years Dillons has added more self checkout lanes, routinely staffed the bare minimum human checkout lanes, and regularly has looooong lines to checkout at peak hour. Going to Aldi I tend to save both money and time; their cashiers scan shit so damn fast.

If you actually think police will change their ways of their own volition you’re truly living in a different reality. Change will come to law enforcement from the outside, not from within; they’re too entrenched in their avenues of power and abuse to have any interest in legitimate reform.

If I have an off day at work, someone gets the wrong email. If a cop has an off day at work, someone’s dad gets killed. Do you not believe LEOs should be held to a higher standard of accountability? Anyone given the power to kill on behalf of the state should be held to a higher standard than the general population.

Everyone knows a “good” cop. And every one of those good cops has covered up for a bad cop. Which, by default, means there are no “good” cops.
