    I saw some truck commercial yesterday where the thing was eighty thousand dollars AFTER all incentives and rebates.

    I thought to myself that the people who are screaming about inflation and how the Democrat president is ruining their lives are the same people who are lining up to make crazy monthly payments into a vehicle that will immediately be upside down on the note.

    I remember getting my Texas instruments financial calculator circa 2009 for probably fifty dollars or so.

    The professor told us that at the time, production costs for my fifty dollar calculator were roughly a dollar.

    On the bright side, I’ll bring that thing in whenever I buy a car and it truly fucks with the whole “what kind of payment are you looking for” routine they do. (Though these days, I’m more likely to bring a laptop with Excel. Same idea, but faster and better visuals)


  • Product - use daily

    Language - speak English, Spanish, and Korean, though the latter two are admittedly falling off from lack of use. Lived overseas for four years in my twenties

    Collared shirts - wear daily, but I’d guess that’s not goth chick bait

    Dancing - was religiously prohibited from such growing up and never took an interest in it

    Personal skill - I can cook like a motherfucker. Like really good stuff. If I believed in love languages, mine would be feeding others. The women in my office make weekly requests for me to cook whatever they’re craving over the weekend and bring it in on Monday.

    But I’m talking about energy. Gomez spends his entire existence striving toward being Morticia’s everything. I don’t have enough gas in the tank after seventy or eighty hours of getting yelled at for my income.

    Next up, since everything is so easy, I guess I just simply waltz into another job, right?



  • Gomez lives off generational wealth and thus spends his time culturing himself with dance, art, and seductive languages.

    I work until it’s not safe to drive home because I’m so tired and my eyes don’t work. I crawl home on surface streets, collapse into bed for a brief nap, and get up to go do it again because the man needs his dollar.

    My spirit may be willing, but my flesh is spongy and bruised.
