    Alright I’ve been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade- make life take the lemons back. Get mad. I don’t want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons, do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s going to burn your house down…with the lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

          I’m not stealing them, if I don’t pick them, they fall off and rot doing no good for the tree, thereby completely wasting all the energy the tree spent on making the things. There aren’t a lot of marsupials or rodents that have the right type of hands/paws for meaningfully harvesting and spreading of the seeds in my neck of the desert to take care of seed distribution for the tree naturally.

          Yes, I am growing lemons, avocados, limes, peaches, bananas, and figs currently in a desert with only collected rainwater, and grey water from my washing machine. There’s no city water involved. It doesn’t rain very often outside of the “cool autumn” season for about four months of the year, the other 8 months are “warm spring” we don’t really get rain then, which is why I have 3400 gallons of rainwater storage that gets refilled in the first or second rain of the season.

        Yeah I work four part time jobs. I’m working every single day. It is a real bummer.

            Just a few more months and I’ll only have one and all my debt will be paid off. There’s light at the end of the tunnel!

          Well, not so much a job as an apprenticeship that I’m payed for. But yea, I’ve only had to work Saturdays when I worked in retail.

      It’s good that this came along, since the Cave Johnson monologue just reads like a Karen nowadays.

    … is he making lemon-shaped piss bombs from those piss jars which are then vacuumed away for safe storage & times of need?

    There might have been a mixup & life keeps accidentally giving me those lemons.

    Battles have literally been won on avoiding scurvy. Can’t remember which side but Spainish armada vs England naval battles. Had spies report back they were eating sauerkraut and thus didn’t get scurvy. Hard to fight a war while sick
