Funny enough, that was one of the reasons for not taking the job at the time.

There were, in fact, cool rocks.

Way back in 2017 I was offered a job managing a small retreat center in the middle of bumblefuck nowhere along the shores of Lake Superior.

The pay was exceptionally low, but it came with housing and food. 8 months out of the year would have been spent just being there and keeping the place in order, the other 4 were for hosting guests.

I went back to school instead.

The fuck was I thinking? I could have ridden these shit years out as a weird hermit.

Dawg, someone find this man and throw eggs at him.

I’d bet 5 dollars on Mox and crew showing up to their homes in a taped segment in the next few weeks.

If you’re curious about the guy, he’s worth reading. His Letters and Papers from Prison and Ethics are the two dealing with all of this. Ethics is unfinished, because he was moved from a standard prison to a concentration camp before they eventually executed him.

Not many, but my hope is that anyone interested enough does a little research.

Bonhoeffer’s pacifism is a complicated matter. He believed in nonviolence, but also participated in a plot to kill Hitler.

To summarize him a little…. Sometimes we need to abandon our principles to care for others. My goodness is less important than the wellbeing of those who are oppressed.

I tell people that I’m a pacifist in the same way that Bonhoeffer was.

We’re in Mox’s Kagetsu arc.

Mox is attacking OC with a juicer before this is all over.

He does stupidly well with the ladies. Kavorka for days.

I teach philosophy at a community college.

I have learned from my students that their high schools didn’t ever require them to read a whole book or write much of anything. They also didn’t teach them some essential computer skills.

Strangest of all, it is apparently a common practice to award a base grade of 50% on all assignments, even for missing work.

So, my introductory philosophy class, which I have designed to be very easy (you likely get an A for showing up, talking, and turning things in on time) ends up being more difficult than anything they’ve ever done in school so far because I’m asking them to read 10 or so pages a week and write around 500 words a week.

Ibuprofen if I’m at work, but at home I usually take a short nap and have some coffee after, which works better for me.

Mr. Burton is a treasure.

Pretty sure this is the closest we’ve been to including an actual vampire in this game.

Does Allucard count as a vampire?

Never forget that Trip straight up got impregnated In season 1.

See, Mike can’t forget his username if it’s his name and birthday.

For some reason I find this look to be more attractive than most of Troi’s outfits in TNG.

She always looks beautiful, and all that, but Marina Sirtis could have killed it in a western.

I regularly see 2 on my commute. I wouldn’t exactly notice that I have a similar commute to other people, but a Cybertruck sticks out.

1 of them has been painted a matte black that looks like a chalkboard (good luck to them when the road salt comes out) and the other is the regular finish.

Either way, I’m always thinking about just how fucking dorky the things look compared to everything else on the highway.

And it’s not like they’re using it for anything cool. They’re both just stuck in the same traffic as the rest of us.
