Why am I not ahocked?

Exactly seven times, every time, or else I might get a disease or become mortally injured in a freak accident.

I keep coming back to Sienna Skies’ cover of Fireflies (originally by Owl City).

Kamala Harris Backdoors The Supreme Court for ‘Slamming Racism’

Doing something for the good of people I don’t even know? Sounds dangerously close to socialism! /s

As someone who works in public education, I 💯% agree, but do want to add that it’s not the students, parents, teachers, or admins who want that.

Every standardized test we do (and there are a lot of them) is an exhausting and stressful operation that feels more like a distraction from school, rather than an assessment of its efficacy.

The school boards are the policy makers; and at least around here, they’re all gunning for local political offices next, if they’re not already one-foot-on-the-platform.

But gas prices are… Not down?

You’re gonna feel real silly when you look around and see the rest of us all squeezing our new refrigerators to keep our groceries cold.

The future is bleak for the youth, they’re doing what they can to get through it but the pickings are slim.

Myopic smoothbrains, all of them.

I’m maximizing my ability to maximize my gains in all areas.

Maxmaxxing, I call it.

If you’re not turned off to cruises yet by all the news reports, then I highly recommend watching Triangle of Sadness to put the final nails in that coffin.

I did one cruise with friends back in 2018ish, returned home with the worst sore throat and sinus congestion I’ve ever experienced. The food was 10/10 though.

I mean I always assumed the hentavirus was transmitted purely from being in direct contact with mouse/rat piss or you got bit by one.

I believe that is usually the case for hentavirus, but this “Andes” strain is an exception:

The Andes hantavirus can spread among humans through very close contact, but is less contagious than Covid. There are no vaccines.

So tired of being beholden to the assinine whims of this flippant man-child.

Ooh, he’s definitely not gonna like that one.

Epidemiologist, or just good at Plague Inc?

They take one look at me, and they’re stark raving mad.

It’s a disaster of biblical proportions. Old Testament. Real wrath of God type stuff. Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes… The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… MASS HYSTERIA!

There go my dreams of opening a combination burger joint / gas station in the red light district

Before watching the trailer, just for fun, my guess:

Mild sci-fi fantasy peril, the baby Yoda eats something yucky and ethically questionable, there’s a new bad guy who hopes that nobody finds out about his secret weakness, twelve pages of new mandolorian lore that retcons a bunch of stuff from the other movies, mando figures out the bad guys weakness and baby Yoda uses the force the movie ends just as we introduce some other baby Star wars critter.

After watching the trailer:

Hm. Yeah, I have no idea what this movie is gonna be about.
