    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.




  • Don’t worry just buy this wallet removable card holder that attaches to your phone but comes off so that you can keep it separate when charging or putting it down, or trying to hold it in your hand without a big bulky thing that keeps popping off.

    And don’t worry, the magnets no longer affect your credit cards just, hotel keys, cheap gift cards, bus passes, etc…

    Yeah sometimes classic ways are still best or you find you really don’t need something you give up for efficiency, just do you and it’s fine.






  • Good luck. You need other people to want to do that as well and when democrats and republicans are throwing “fuck you” money at anyone that isn’t beholden to their shared investors you are gonna get nothing done.

    We do, we really do, need something to change and we need it to flow through multiple levels from low to to high government positions.
    But I just don’t see it happening until the next large scale cultural upheaval makes space for it and that seems like it’s gonna be a nightmare or lots of groups that have waited for that moment.

    No. They have plenty of voters. I’m so tired of this liberal bashing of people with fucking empathy and a tired deposition towards the apathetic unhelpful political parties in charge, as your way to get more votes.

    I get that we have a binary decision with our presidency election but no, this is not an effective method other than to piss off people you are essentially stating straight up you think of as lesser.
