Goddammit. I got so excited by the headline, and then you had to go and crush my dreams.

I’d really prefer that to be a last resort. Instead, maybe there should be donation drives like Wikipedia and rewards like Reddit.

I never once bought Reddit coins to hand out, but might be convinced to if I can trust where the funds go.

Is that why she’s also wearing a long sleeve shirt and turtle neck?

I fell into this trap with one of my main hobbies.

I’ve always loved Aquariums and plants, and found my favorite niche in aquascaping planted aquariums. It gets expensive. I needed money to support my hobby and life. I sold a few extra plants and realized I could start making the hobby pay for itself. Everytime I sold something I’d add to the fishroom. I made ok money and eventually built an impressive aquarium collection.

I got a bit burnt out, realizing I was spending all my hobby energy on farming and selling, rather than creating aquascapes. My selling channels also mostly dried up, and I don’t have the drive anymore to search for other markets.

Now I’m weighed down with a fishroom that I still keep running, but pay little attention to. Not sure what I should do with it.

I still sell occasionally, so if anyone wants any aquatic plants or shrimp, I have plenty…

There’ve been a few occasions where I disagreed with my own post. I couldn’t just let myself get away with bs comments, so I had to downvote to teach myself a lesson.

I used to wait tables. Made a couple dollars an hour plus tips, and it was a decent wage.

From that perspective, I get it, but I also can’t stand that everyone demands tips these days. As a consumer, I’m far more inclined to visit a place with a no tip policy. In fact, I make it a point to not return to places that push their guilt trip tip iPads in my face before they’ve even performed a service. I have tipping fatigue and limited funds.

$30 does seem like a competitive wage there. Provided they get the hours to work, I’m sure many people would be happy with that pay. The protesting workers should probably seek work elsewhere instead of dictating terms this early in their employment.

This whole mortality thing is a real bummer. I hope George pulls through. I was counting on him to narrate my manifesto.

If that’s the case, I’m going to all 3. First the Roman circus to the left. Next, Mardi Gras in Rio de Janeiro. Then one of those massive middle Eastern malls like the one in Dubai or Iran. After a week or so of exploring all that, I’ll head back behind me to my mansion to play with all my souvenirs.
