For those who don’t know, the guy on the left is a professional wrestler called MJF.

His whole persona is dedicated to being a tool, and he’s pretty good at it. Highlights include telling the world that he’s “better than Moses.”

What I’m saying is that he’s doing a bit in this image. It’s kayfabe.

Kayfabe is the wrestling term for always staying “in character.”

You can buy something like this here in the US.

The roll is smaller, and they market it as being made for camping (takes up less space in the pack, etc). It also, of course, costs more because of this, since modern camping gear loves to price gouge.

If you’re going to pack TP though, just spool what you need around something smaller in diameter (like a skewer). Or if you know what you’re doing then just use leaves instead, those are free.

Yeah. I know this is supposed to make us all say “fuck, I’m old” and all, but this just sounds like a fantastic night.

I like to say that everyone is deserving of respect, but few are deserving of deference.

People always talk about Riker and the ladies, but Worf also did pretty darn well.

I truly love that the writers set Dukat up for a redemption arc, but that he chose to become worse instead.

Yeah. Nestle is responsible for the deaths of several million infants (that’s not an exaggeration) and owns slaves.

Like, I’m no fan of Nintendo’s stance on a lot of things, but they’re not the Devil.

In academia (my line of work) they’re required to have positions posted and open for a certain amount of time, interview a certain number of applicants, etc.

In theory, it’s for equal opportunity and finding the best person for the job.

In practice, it’s a waste of time, money, and hope.
