I'd love to run a bar like this: - I own it outright, no mortgage - No electricity - Icehouse and propane fridge - No employees, just me - I live on-site - Food is pickled eggs and popcorn - There's an "inn" upstairs: army cots (BYO sleeping bag or buy one from me for $50) - Fireplace and outdoor bonfire pit - Light comes from solar-powered Christmas lights - Cash only, ATM at nearby gas station I sell cans of Bud, Labatt, and Ballantine Ale. No light beer, no seltzers, no fruity shit. For liquor we have Old Grandad 100 Proof, Newfie "Screech," Ketel One, and Laphroaig. If we have wine it's only Malbec or Argentinian Cab Franc. Would take requests if patrons are genuine regulars. There are no TV's, but there is Fooseball and a pool table. There's a solar-powered internet radio that only offers stations from rural Quebec, rural Chihuahua, or Indian Rez radio stations that play old country. Beer is $2/can for Labatt and Bud, $3 for Ballantine. $4 for liquor, no mixers. $1 pickled eggs, $2 popcorn. No coasters or napkins. A night at the "inn" is $15. Six free beers to the man who cleans out the composting toilet system. Three free beers to the man who bucks and splits a face-cord of firewood. The bar is not a "bar," it's a private residence that hosts a "club." Lifetime membership is $1, and you've gotta sign a waiver. I genuinely wonder if such a thing could work. The overhead would be practically nothing. You'd have what, property taxes, propane for the fridge, firewood, and of course the consumables. Might really be an interesting life. Helluva retirement plan; if nothing else even if you broke even you'd stay social well into your years.

As someone who has had multiple burn outs, to a terrifying degree, let me tell you If you’re neurodivergent, rest won’t do it You need to refuel with your special interests You need novelty and challenge Sitting in silence and simply “resting” might only torture you, shem.

Hanging laundry to air dry is spiritually exhibitionist

Happy Mothers Day. Let us Act Accordingly.

you can protect your wardrobe from clothes moths by filling your closet with tiny spiders, who are the moth's natural predator. later, you can deal with the spiders by filling your wardrobe with scorpions.

Mother's Day is for the trenches

Today I reminded my Parents that it’s not their job to make their children happy. It’s your job to teach, nurture, support, and guide humans to be kind, compassionate, respectful problem-solvers.

Today is the Met Gala. Here are some things to keep in mind while engaging in Met Gala discourse: — The Met Gala is a fundraising event that supports the Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute. — The Costume Institute preserves historical garments, curates public exhibitions, and educates people on how clothing reflects and shapes culture. — In a political climate when public arts funding is being limited or contested, private fundraising efforts like this are even more important. — Many organizations hold galas to raise money for their missions. This includes organizations focused on the arts, LGBTQ rights, environmental justice, and medical research. The Met is not the only institution that holds galas. — The Met Gala raises money through ticket sales. Major fashion houses such as Gucci often purchase entire tables and invite celebrities to attend the event in their designs. For brands, this functions as a form of marketing, similar to advertising or runway shows. But here, that spending also helps fund a public cultural institution. — Members of the public can later visit the museum and see exhibitions that contextualize fashion as part of cultural history. And their tickets are relatively affordable because they have been subsidized by these fundraisers. — Not all clothing is meant to be practical or "presentable" by conventional standards. Some garments are made as artistic statements. Even if you wouldn’t wear something to the office, you can still appreciate the creativity and technical craft behind it. — Events like this provide work for countless tailors, embroiderers, textile specialists, and artisans. These people often work on other types of cultural productions, such as the costuming for films, theatre, and TV shows. The Met Gala helps sustain these craft industries and thus keeps the production quality high for the areas of culture you care about. — Traditional black tie is never wrong for a gala. In fact, this is how men traditionally dressed for the Met Gala for much of this event's history. Not everyone has the personality to pull off an avant-garde outfit, so they shouldn't be forced into one.

The problem isn’t with allowing the homeless to live in our public spaces, the problem is they are allowed to do whatever they want within that space. If anybody reading this who is not homeless, did the identical thing in a public space they would he fined and/or arrested.

Many don’t realize this, but you can actually take smoke breaks at work multiple times a day. 10 minutes every hour. That equals 80 minutes in an 8-hour workday, 400 minutes a week, and 20,800 minutes a year. So if you make $100k a year, your boss is basically paying you around $16,667 a year to smoke cigarettes.

Okay let me be fake with you for a minute
