Piss ALL over it baby

I've put out backcountry campfires by pissing them out when a nearby source of water was lacking.

Not a pleasant smell, especially using backpacking-all-day piss.

Yes, it's dog shit and they'd be embarrassed if they had any integrity. This is why I found it so laughable that the SAG and WGA were talking about the importance of their art, when they're by-and-large a bunch of fucking hacks churning out Happy Meals.

I am also sick of the tinkly piano music that is used on every god damn indie video game that wants to signify that it's an artistic masterpiece because Super Mario is now a sad girl and this world is so beautiful, but also sad. And whatever jumping on blocks and shit you have to do is highly likely to be a metaphor for processing grief because that is how you do PROPER ART. Tinkle tinkle piano.

I find zero personality in this.

I sure am glad I thought to secure the rights to www.isitbandcampdoomsday.com.

Does anyone else still just prefer good ole spring mattresses??

I just found out that community college in my county of residence is now free, and that it specifically includes undocumented residents of the county. It's nice when people understand that a more educated work force benefits everyone.

Sometimes it's piano, but the same concept. I think it all started with that one cover of Tears for Fears' Mad World being used in that video game ad. Now it's just another annoying trope.

Hahahaha. Well, I suppose that's a more concise way of saying the same thing.

Another trope that's been getting on my nerves lately is the uber newscaster English endemic to the "pop that pretends its indee/totally not anime intro music" genre that finds its way into coffee shops, grocery store muzak, and "kind and sensitive" tech commercials. The accent where every "r" is ultra-accented and every dipthong is a grand canyon of "for fuck's sake please stop it." It's like sometime in the early 2000s a bunch of hipster bands started using this particular voice and it became a shorthand for the "totally indee" music that the big record companies put on their side labels.

What late period Skinny Puppy should have sounded like.

^ lmao I meant to do this in the listening thread I ALWAYS mix them up. But it fits!

I'm thinking about how the Book of Ezekiel starts its description of the messianic temple in chapter 40 and this goes until chapter 48. I am forty now and will turn 41 in November, so if the seven year tribulation starts soon my age would basically match up with Ezekiel 40-48. The name Ezekiel means "God strengthens".
