money is more real than you or i, friend. the money existed before we were born and will continue to exist long after you die of old age and im still a 49.75 years young gay man at the height of his sexual prime.

people always wonder: what will my balance be when i die? but nobody considers what the balance of their accounts was before they were born.

And yet, after we are all dead, where does the money go? It was only in our heads all along.

Martin Random posted:

I had had enough. I bought a minifridge, a plug-in stovetop, two padlocked footlockers, a wooden bar, duct tape, a remote-control car, and an external padlock. My private area had two entrances... Here, I best sum up my little fortress in this post I made in another thread:

quote:
Actually, upon reflection, I really want to share how I kept my room-mate out of my private area. It was dubbed the "Home Alone" security system.

I had two potential entrances to my private area, a sliding glass patio door and a regular door to the common area. I secured the common door with a padlock on the outside which was really just for show. The inside was barricaded. At the bottom I had a rolled up towel, and I sealed the rest of it with tape to avoid smell or other chemical assaults from the common area. I packed against the door with my king-sized bed, which was in turn secured from being dislodged by a bookshelf full of weights and books. Even if he got through the padlock, he would not have been able to open the door without busting it in two. The top half of the door was unsecured; I was worried he might break the door and gain access, so when I siezed his stuff I had it put in public storage across town.

Now the sliding glass door is where the home alone poo poo comes in. It had a lock, but it was nonfunctional and only accessible from the inside. So in order to secure the door while I was away, I got a remote controlled car, attached it to a string which was secured by a fisheye screw at the top of the door, and tied to a security bar which would drop into the tread of the sliding door, preventing it from being opened.

Anyone who has a sliding glass door would know how this works, but if anyone needs further explanation, I'm happy to furnish it.

So when I came home, I would whip out my little remote control, make the RC car run off and lift the bar, then gain access to the apartment. To prevent this system from being discovered, I papered the inside of the sliding door with butcher paper, and I ran a wire outside of the door in an obvious manner, so that the roomie would think that this wire somehow, if tugged correctly, would undo the lock. To my knowledge, all of his attempts to get inside my apartment were by messing with this wire, which was attached to the handle of an antique coffee grinder and a paint can. If you tugged it, you'd get a wierd uneven resistance as the handle crank turned and the paint can danced, which added to the illusion that this wire was some secret way of ingress.

I heard this account from the neighbors, because it occurred while I was away, but apparenty he had lost his front door key, had some kind of intestinal problem, and had to take a poo poo really bad. All of the neighbors he knew he had already hit up for toilet access and been refused by this point. So he's swearing like crazy and yanking at this wire, and bashing against the door in a frenzied desperation when the neighbors call the cops, reporting a B&E. When the cops show up he's taking a poo poo in the bushes just outside my window. I loving hate him so much.

It only gets worse from here...

People are not used to wearing masks and they are not good at it. If everyone was doing it people would get better, but we live in America were learning new things is bad.

I experience this. When something is over my mouth, it triggers a "CAN'T BREATHE" reaction in my lizard brain even if I can breathe fine, and it's something I need to consciously suppress whenever I'm wearing a mask. It's been that way since I was a kid. Doesn't stop me from wearing a mask whenever I'm outside the house though.

Of all the people whose consumerism has been lately reduced by the epidemic, I wonder how many of them are thinking "huh, I guess I really just didn't need to go buy things all the time" compared to "oh God I've got to go out and buy more things as soon as possible".

I mean, all the worst news from America is the latter, but surely there's a lot of the former too.

Unrelated to any of that, my New year's resolution was to not go shopping on weekends just for the hell of it and the current situation sure accelerated that change.
