SARGE

Men is indeed too headache.

It has always been appropriately named.

It's just that most people assumed it meant "defending the country" instead of "defending rich pedophiles"

I once donated $50.

It's not much, but I've definitely got my money's worth and then some over the years.

I once ran a campaign of a game similar to D&D where one of the players had geared a character to be super charismatic and had an end goal of being able to persuade anyone to do anything.

She kept persuading the random side characters that helped them into joining, until they had a small army of Merry Men.

Yeah, the campaign took a back seat while they played Robin hood for awhile.

She started specifically targeting side npcs because I wanted to drop a character that was making my vocal chords hurt. They liked the npc because he was basically a child's vision of a stereotypical pirate.

Oh, my rooms tend to get hot by themselves, so it's less "cool it then heat it" and more "cool it, then stop cooling and let it warm up naturally around morning"

Except in winter, I guess. Then it's just "don't heat until morning"

I have always wanted a programmable thermostat, so I can sleep to nice cool air, but wake up to almost uncomfortably hot, because that will force me to get out of bed and be something resembling human.

Instead I'm a burrito, all wrapped up and warm

Good. I can toss my other blanket on top and get snuggled in.

I have had managers send me emails telling me to ignore warehouse safety standards set by OSHA, regardless of what the warehouse personnel tell me when I'm there for the day.

Also had managers that recorded themselves breaking company safety rules and post to social media.

I've even had one manager that straight up pointed a gun at me in front of 3 cameras thinking it was a funny joking thing.

Never assume management has a single brain cell, let alone enough to realize when something probably shouldn't be done or said.

How I've felt since getting fired this week:

I have forgotten about a concert after paying for the tickets, I have forgotten about super important plans and didn't even send a text to the person I had them with until about 6 hours later (in fairness I never even got a text or call from them in that time, just a "where were you, I waited" when I called to apologize) and I have forgotten my entire wallet at a restaurant. Sat it down while waiting for my card back and put the card in my pocket and left the wallet on the table.

I have also unironically said this.

The prosecution used the presence of the first aid kit they carried

Insane bullshit.

I have a kit with me every day of my life, and I've had to refill it many times due to using it on others.

It would be pure coincidence that I happen to be carrying a first aid kit on any given day, and if I'm going to a peaceful protest I'm bringing my trauma kit because the entire fucking world knows how cops treat protesters.

And what country are you from where racism is not an issue?

No really, where, because a non-racist place to live sounds fantastic, especially nowadays.
