Sorry to hear about your old man, GD_american. He sounds like the best boy.

Some happy Friday personal news is that I finally got my promotion to Director. Doesn’t change much apart from comp, as it’s p much the job I’ve been doing for the past 6 months.

At least you'll get a bump in pay, right?



Right?

Its my brother and he knows I'm the kind of idiot who pushes through anything less than my deathbed unfortunately. I just wish it wasn't 5 days into 75 hard because I have stupid DOMs at the moment. My 2023 goal of doing hard fitness poo poo all year was not a wise one in hindsight but goddamnit we're gonna see it out.

I had a conversation with a friend earlier where we both remembered being really in to pro-wrestling as kids in the mid to late 90s and now I'm down a wikipedia hole on pro-wrestling. It's bringing back a lot of child hood memories. One of my cousins is still super in to it so I might talk with him about it.

I only follow some newsy and sporty accounts on twitter other than SAS goons, and y'all (not you, just y'all in general) are way more into wrestling than I am. Which isn't hard I guess since I'm not into it at all. It's hilarious trying to suss out the latest controversy or catastrophe from tweets, and there's one every damned week it seems.

So if you want drama, it appears to be out there.

We’re watching it all. Season 1 has the worthless twins, season 2 has the wonder twins who always transform into an Eagle and a bucket of water. Season 3 is when the legion of doom shows up and no twins of any kind.

A couple days ago my friend asked what I had planned this weekend, which went like

“Idk, it’s supposed to be nice out on Friday and the beer garden in the park opens for the season, I kinda want to go sit in the park and drink beers”
“Well you should do that Saturday instead and come to an art show on Friday night” to which I begrudgingly accepted for some dumb reason

Not two hours later, one of the ladies in the group chat says they’re going to the beer garden on Friday night and does anyone want to come, to which several people say yeah, sounds fun, we’ll come! :doh:

In the end him and his lady were running late and weren’t going to get to the art show until like 1.5 hours after we planned on, so I said welp have fun at your dumb art show, I’m going to drink beer in the park with everyone else

I remember back during the anime boom of the late 90's/early 00's, older people would try to tell me that any American cartoon from the 70's were better animated than any anime that ever existed, and my immediate thought was almost always "I've seen Super Friends, the gently caress are you on about?"

Welp got to experience something new, there was a fire on the first floor of my apt had to rush to put on my clothes run down a smoke filled staircase in which I lost my shoe and dropped my keys in the process of picking them up was breathing in smoke. I'm fine though legs a little shaky; Fire was contained with what looked like CO2 Extinguisher and was told by a firefighter that it was close to being a bad fire had they not got there as quickly as they did

Going to be paranoid of what I breathed in with that smoke, it was wild how quickly I was feeling woozy since I was on the top floor (3rd floor) in retrospect should left through the fire escape

Overall I'm fine and back in the apt

Casey Kasem was also Cliffjumper in G1 Transformers. He quit doing the show because they used a thinly veiled substitute for Libya called Carbombya.

quote:

Voice actor Casey Kasem (who was of Lebanese Druze descent) quit the show due to the offense he took at the naming of Carbombya, along with other stereotypes in “Thief in the Night”.[1]

Well this is a terrifying story. Glad everything seems to be more or less ok now. Did you get damage to your place?

Hopefully the smoke won't be a deal. It probably isn't good for you, but it seems possibly likely that if you do notice a problem it'll go away fairly soon (anecdotal source: me who has accidentally inhaled several forms of smoke from fires).

I mean, maybe social workers, but yeah. Firefighters entire job is helping people by directly putting their bodies in physical danger, cops job is protecting capital by putting other people in danger.

Right right social workers are the true heroes. But they don't have rivalries with the police that I can only imagine manifest in the form of flip cup
