In college, made my own clubs and flyered it around.
One club was the cartoons and cereal club, where people brought cereal and we’d watch 90s cartoons for an hour. Another club was the Bob Ross appreciation club, which was just an excuse to drink wine and paint.
Be weird. You’d be surprised by the people you attract. And it was kind of awesome to go around bragging to people that I got 30 college kids to watch classic Xmen and eat Applejack’s.

The trick with college is that 19 year old girls also didn’t have great hygiene or well-developed social skills. We were all a bunch of clueless, fumbling, young adults trying to figure each other out.
Brother, ain’t this the truth.
I didn’t make any friends with my same-age classmates just by casually talking.
Then I went to night classes with full grown adults and i was invited to dinners and birthday parties immediately.

jaw drops to floor, eyes pop out of sockets accompanied by trumpets, heart beats out of chest, awooga awooga sound effect, pulls chain on train whistle that has appeared next to head as steam blows out, slams fists on table, rattling any plates, bowls or silverware, whistles loudly, fireworks shoot from top of head, pants loudly as tongue hangs out of mouth, wipes comically large bead of sweat from forehead, clears throat, straightens tie, combs hair Ahem, you look very lovely.

- Comment on HR people smiling at you thinking that you are a complete moron 1 week ago:
Man, I was on that manager side, having to lay people off because of some bad decisions from upper management.
I usually do everything I can, like give them recommendations letters, try to give them as much money as possible that they’re owed… Literally bend over backwards.
Everyone takes that news differently. One guy cursed me out, kicked some shit and stormed out. And I just got up and cleaned it all up because brother, I get it.

- Comment on Mastercard release a statement about game stores, payment processors and adult content 2 weeks ago:
There’s been two decades worth of lawsuits because PayPal has a history of withholding revenue and blocking stores from small e-commerce stores.
I’m talking about e-commerce sites selling a board game, making $40k in sales through paypal, and PayPal refuses to give them money.
PayPal’s stance has been, “Fuck you sue us.”
I’m not saying this because I think Peter Thiel, who was one of the creators of Paypal, is a fucking evil villain.

Loss of income is really difficult to sue for. Especially if you’re an indie company in another country, trying to sue an international company. You either sue locally, or open up a office in their nation.
And your case has to be rock solid.
Like tech companies still lose cases around loss of income, even when it’s obvious to the average person that the major company is going out of their way to stamp out competition.

On a road trip, I drove by a farm that sells "Sweet Cron’.
Thinking it was a mistake, I saw more signs bragging about the Sweet Cron they had. So definitely on purpose.

- Comment on I explained economics to my nine year old 3 weeks ago:
This is my takeaway from listening to NPR Planet Money.
Economists are never sure about anything, because that’s not how the world works. They only give rough estimations based on the current data, and say words like “maybe” or “high possibility”.
They’re not sith lords.
- Comment on Gamers Bombard Visa & MasterCard With Emails and Calls Over Steam and itch.io Censorship 3 weeks ago:
Working at big major companies, email/harassment campaigns work.
Some psychopath got the news journalists on my company because we didn’t have a giant American flag in our campus. We were getting hundreds of emails from randos, were getting review bombed online, and they were even sending letters to the CEO.
We called it flag gate internally. And after a month, there’s that stupid flag.

Yeah, no one “flashes a Mensa card” unless they are a jerk.
One time I made fun of people who do cross fit and someone at the table said “I do CrossFit.” Then I said, “It’s almost as annoying as people who flex over their AMEX card.” And another guy pulled out his AMEX card.
I regret not bringing up a Mensa Card.

Literally thought this was a meme about the travel influencers and those people who attend every concert without ever holding down a job.

Like most kids, I was enamored by the 90s Disney animations. So while Pixar was dominating, I got a bachelor’s in 2D animation.
Graduated to no jobs. Animation work is shipped overseas. And the little animation jobs there are were concentrated in a few parts of the US.
Not once have I ever made any income from my background.
Been working on marketing for a decade adding more garbage to this world.

When I was a kid, there was a phase where everyone was obsessed with red flannel. Went on for like 3 months.
Imagine a pro dominantly black/Latino school in the hood where we’re all dressing up like Al Borland from Home Improvement.

I remember HS history was incredibly neutered. It was still America is Heroes. There were small cracks, like Japanese internment camps. Or the Trail of Tears. But they had a single paragraph or two. I remember reading about the Vietnam war and how people “feel” about it.
Only during college did I read about real history. Things like our meddling in the Philippines. Our meddling in South America. Our meddling in Southeast Asia after WW2.
The worse is that the text books are owned by conservatives, so expect even more neutering/white washing.

As I kid, I distinctly remember protesting (two separate decades) to stop the middle east invasion. I remember even when it was announced, it was deeply unpopular.
And here we are again.
- Comment on Anon hates reddit 1 month ago:
The hobby one was the one that hit me the most.
I love a specific hobby. I don’t like to engage much of the community because my opinions go against the hive kind. I also don’t have interest/energy to debate. I also am not that interested in engaging daily. Weekly, sure. Monthly, absolutely. But day after day? I have a life to live.
But Every time I introduce people to it, I have to dial down my excitement. I invest a lot into my hobby and I’m really good at it.
Who controls the Reddit narrative of my hobby? Not people like me.
