In shell
Drawing pictures
Of fence tops
With him on top
Lemon yellow sun
Eyestalks raised in a V
The dead lay in pools of pale blue belowScientists tried to give attention
To the fact that his shell turned left
Snail Jeremy the Wicked
Ruled his world, butJeremy didn’t get laid today
Jeremy didn’t get laid todayClearly I remember
Pickin’ on the boy
Seemed a harmless little mollusc
Oh, but we unleashed a hedgehog
Gnashed his radula
Shot darts at mantles
How could I forget
He hit me with a surprise bump
My shell left hurtin’
Oh, tipped right over
Just like the day
Like the day I heardScientists tried to give affection
But the boy was something she wouldn’t mate
Snail Jeremy the Wicked
Ruled his worldJeremy didn’t get laid today
Jeremy didn’t get laid today
Jeremy didn’t get laid todayTry to forget this… (try to forget this)
Try to erase this… (try to erase this)
From the postdoc paperJeremy didn’t get laid today

Play fireworks compilations on YT to desensitise. My dogs sleep through fireworks. They’ll some times bark but it’s because they hear other dogs barking down the road.

The US sees an item not referred to by a corporate brand name, and wouldn’t have it.
They’re not alone in it, but their suseptiblity to macro-marketing can only be described as “American level”.

I’ve had someone recognise I’m a drummer because of the way my leg bounce made the bench move. Apparently my anxiety ticks groove.

It would be quicker to either:

The words quote the show? They feel more 80s–90s at most.

The image on the left is purely about living a life conforming to conservative social stereotypes based on gender. They believe in them so much they change for them. It’s like an innocent version of still thinking other skin colours are inferior, and enjoying the idea of playing the characters you saw in 1940s Looney Tunes cartoons.

Meanwhile the unemployment rate continues to be troublingly low, begging the question, “If not for immigration, who’s going to fill the new fancy All-American manufacturing industries?”

Things aren’t so bad if you avoid doom scrolling and comparing yourself to others. Almost any other time was worse to be alive in.
- Comment on The "We Tried" Award 2 weeks ago:
That’s fine. Being the fastest at getting from A to B using just legs is rarely a deal breaker. Though, you’d have probably tried harder if the trophy was called the “Least likely to die in an open field of zombies trophy”.

Haha, no no. You threw down with a gigantic source of cell destroying radiation. The fire did no harm.
- Comment on The "We Tried" Award 2 weeks ago:
It felt worse. Getting a recognition certificate or a white ribbon for coming fourth was a total bummer to my care-factor for participating. Kick a kid while they’re down and they’re not likely to be motivated.

- Comment on Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned? 3 weeks ago:
You’re right. Could literally design anything and people that know nothing about any of it could figure it out quickly. But instead, a salad of sex preferences, gender, race, kink, specific US cities, all appearing to be under the Intersex insignia.
It’s always seemed so bad to me that it’s more likely to be done by an anti-woke troll or someone like Michael Scott discovering Pride Month.
It’s just offensive. Obviously to the eyes, but also to any group being shoved together within its borders.

I bet that buttoned collar shirt has never seen Cheetos dust either.

- Comment on Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned? 3 weeks ago:
They all sprung up in that period where flags were trendy. Every little camp had to have one to feel like a singled-out tribe—and, no, this isn’t just kink flags. This meant many would be flag designers overnight.
The result is there’s some really fugly designs out there in the wild now and the idiots can’t go back. But most people are over flag phase now, so you’re unlikely to ever see this and most others out in the wild.
Nothing fails more at its job than a pride flag that people have no idea what is. It’s almost irony.
And is this one ugly? Oh, yes. Enough to turn a person straight.

Honestly, if we’re gonna be this bad on our bodies, we may as well just lay down and have monitors above us as the norm. It sounds unhealthy, but only because we’d be admitting to ourselves how unhealthy were being so we may as well take care of our skeletons over the hours and days and weeks and years of the same shit.

I imagine they’re depressed. Their job is to help out idiots every few seconds. When not doing that they’re probably pondering the validity of a doomed race.

- Comment on Does anyone actually own a shirt like this? Cos you'll need it in the ZA 5 weeks ago:
I have a couple, but they’re wind resistant, odourless for about 4 days without washing, quick drying, and durable. The buttons are also studs and covered to help with water proofing, but allow for opening it up to cool down.
There’s a big difference in a $100 shirt styled to look rugged and a $100 shirt actually designed for long periods in the wilderness. They probably look the same to most people from afar.
- Comment on what is north? 5 weeks ago:
I assume they mean “just north of Antarctica”. But really it could be any body of water on the planet it could fit in.
