  • Yeah you’re right, having a large black object with no reflectors or lights going down a highway at 10 miles per hour sounds like a great idea. I hate cars too but let’s not act like the poor Amish are being horribly treated. They have no seat belts, no air bags, no protection at all. The smallest accidents lead to horrible, debilitating injuries at best. Frankly I think it’s insane we let those metal and wood death boxes on the same roads as us. Their wheels also corrode the roads incredibly quickly.


  • Guy was up on a mezzanine installing rubber roofing (I work in an RV factory), suddenly either seized or fainted or had a stroke, nobody’s really sure, fell off the catwalk and landed on his head 19ft below on concrete. Died immediately. It happened maybe 50ft from my workstation.

    The company suits came by to sing kumbaya and tell us how we’re all a “family”, took a single day of production off (so they could clean the blood up, presumably) and production started back up as normal. He had been working there for 25 years.








  • I literally have never had a hard time finding real maple syrup unless I’m in a gas station or something.

    Maybe it’s because I’m in the Midwest and sugar maple is absolutely everywhere, but it’s very, very easy to find real maple. Yes it’s more expensive, and absolutely yes it tastes far better.

    Maple syrup to “pancake syrup” is like real butter to hydrogenated palm oil. My mother uses the Blue Bonnet margarine, and I used to use it growing up. As an adult I’ve only used real stick butter and god, going back home sometimes for dinner can really suck. Margarine is so chemical-tasting, how the hell do people butter their toast with it?


  • FLuffee Talks. (Hey… What’s up?)

    No particular reason. FLuffee is a major old schooler that’s been pumping out content since the earliest days of YouTube who specializes in pop news and shock-jock content. I used to devour his content when I was like 11-15, and I think I just got overexposed and lost taste for it.

    I’ve gone back occasionally over the years and he’s still at it. If his content style works and he can maintain it even some 16-18 years later, I say more power to him.
