It is a little odd that it’s going to KY from CA. All that stuff is produced in the south by big tobacco so normally it’s going the opposite direction. Maybe it was repackaged in CA, who knows.
This was released to someone they thought was legit, and then they disappeared. So someone was able to show up with the right bill of lading numbers and their info must have checked out to get loaded. So you’ve a either hack or someone on the inside.

And too frequently the person not getting it is the person who thinks they’re great at dark humor.

I think this is less about the humor, and more about the superstition about speaking something into reality.
Here’s a story for you. My grandmother never struck me as on overly superstitious person. But she was very serious when she told me that one day she had a friend over eating in her kitchen when a blackbird flew in through the window. Her friend told her that it was a really bad omen, specifically that it was a harbinger of death. The next day my grandmother’s first born was killed in a hit and run.
She couldn’t get over why her friend would even say that out loud. Not really because she thought her friend was clairvoyant but because it poisoned their relationship. She’s got one of the most negative moments in her life made even worse because of a callous prediction a friend made that now tolls like a bell any time her son comes to mind.
There are some forms of negativity that are better off left unsaid. You saying it isn’t going to burn down the house. But one day you might wish you hadn’t said it.
In the end, are you any less frugal than your parents? When confronted with an issue, all you could afford was a mean spirited “joke” that isn’t funny. People are accepting of dark humor if it actually is humorous.

I’d argue barbeque. Cultures the world over have some form of cooking things slow, frequently underground to break down tougher foods.
Deep frying is a result of excess while some form of barbeque would have been a very logical step for anyone cooking on coals.

You still gotta deal with the most absolutely bored co-workers who are so disillusioned they create petty drama to fill their days. The 60 year old lady with a mullet who has been working the job outta high school is going to set an absolutely unmatchable pace for zero reason other than to give their ego a pat on the back, and not give two shits for the problems that pace might create when the shit they send down the line starts to inevitably back up.
All while doing absolutely back breaking and fatigue inducing actions for long periods while operating machinery that will dismember you before you even notice something is wrong. Your mind is so bored by the repetitive tasks it erodes at caution though, so good luck not messing up.

I’ve done both, and I’d say food service is generally worse. Neither are as bad as being on an assembly line, I can tell you that much.

Can we talk about Bigfoot, I’ve been dying to talk about Bigfoot
Bigfoot is one I lean more to it existing. There’s a lot of circus around the people looking for it, yes. But I’ve seen/heard enough accounts of interactions that do I believe there’s some common denominator it all.
Is there a smoking gun? No, but I do think the wilderness is wilder than we think. Like whatever is absolutely booking it along this cliff.
Then this one, definitely just a dude in a suit… doing a masterclass in practical effects? I don’t know. That’s not a small tree.
I think there’s a better chance of something big, smart, and strong bipedal in the woods than the WH for sure.

I believe it. Cold really changes things. Not only are you just burning more calories to stay warm, but I swear the cold fundamentally alters your metabolism when you’re regularly exposed.
