    I caught one trying to be in my bathroom and decided to be “nice” by tossing it into my basement.

    Down there the entire floor had been sprayed with insect repellent from signs of fleas and roaches, there has been signs of mice and lord knows what else down there too.

    2 days later I found it dead having made it all the way to the staircase. Definitely one of the strongest showings in the Gauntlet but not strong enough.


  • Honestly. Probably not as big a deal as we would hope. America runs in debt. It’s the economic battery that’s used to power the purchasing power of the nation itself even if it’s not a great idea it does hyper charge the government of oligarchs pretty well.

    And, with massive soars in Cost Of Living I would bet it’s mostly by the same percentages that the debt is raising even if it’s closer to real inflation and not the lower stated values.

    People are incentivized to spend beyond their means cause the forever debt feels cheaper than paying for it up front which makes you then a consistent battery of debt paying back more as you hopefully hit peak production.

    The problem for sure is that there is no exit on the other side. And with astronomical costs and no clear way to exit the debt likely you end up to old and still fucked.

    The debt is a feature not a bug but will absolutely cause instability if not checked. This might still not be truly in the red yet though.

    Honestly I really should just be locked away for everyone’s, and my own, safety.

    I was one of the original patients that spread swine flu in the US in 2009 after a trip to Mexico. I now have vaccines for everything from yellow fever to typhoid cause I thought I might spread it too.

    My stories should probably be in a leather bound book of things not to do that people argue whether or not it’s allegorical when it says “do not trust the boy who brings back diseased cloth for all his friends”

    Edit: same vacation I broke 6 ribs falling off a cruiseship and had to be rescued by the Mexican coast guard actually.
    Train wreck.

    Hahaha my Japanese instructor in university was not particularly good at his job and when I told him I was planning to drop he told me I shouldn’t cause the class would just get easier as it went.

    When it was past the drop period he confided in me that he was actually only trained in Chinese but the kanji was about the same so was filling in until the school could find a real Japanese instructor and that he only needed a few more hours for tenure and if I had dropped he wouldn’t have had enough students in the class for the hours to count…

    I think Universities are broken just from the level of economic and social stress making people just be less involved in their work and more in themselves.

    It’s easier to keep the mill grinding than to stop and make sure it’s working properly.

    I once got caught up in a game of dodge the cactus that I mistakenly thought was “catch” the cactus and proceeded to try to figure out how to get the needles out of both of my hands face and mouth.

    I decided on sprite for the ones in my mouth by gargling it.

    I once also made homemade root beer let it ferment to long so it was alcoholic and got a bunch of other kids drunk at school. This barely scratches the surface, and doesn’t include the forest fires or all the times hit by trains and boats.

    Anyways, yeah a recap of my life would be a wild watch. If you really do have your life flash before your eyes at the end I am gonna need some popcorn for this feature film.

    Yeah and told to finish the test. I also had a professor who let me take a final while bleeding after I was hit by a car on my bike on the way to class.

    Both times I did not do particularly well.
    I honestly think modern professors just don’t care anymore, or expect 19 year olds to be way more mature and competent than they are.

    My life was, and is, a train wreck.

    Nah don’t worry I had listeria 3 times and milk was only one of them. You got to worry about caramel apples and hummus just as much.

    Also don’t get listeria I had a seizure while vomiting while taking a physics final and got yelled at for it in college. It’s just not a fun time.
