So coming from the south we had a few stores where the basic busness model was; they'd get a bunch or returns and overstock from online retailers on a thursday then drop the price down each day of the week until what's left on a 1 dollar wendsday. Its messy chaotic but lot of fun to see what you'd find

Anything like that in the city limits?

The number of missing women who are going to be linked to this is going to be astonishing.
Philadelphia has a new serial killer

Hope we can get some LP crossover feel like the Wachowski siblings would be within Henry and Ed's reach

Ed has laundry officer/ guy who can get you things energy to him sort of like Luther from South Pacific.

Marcus- yeah Dogmeat's definitely seeing combat definitely going in the Tunnels. Maybe gets permoted up to correspondent like pvt joker

Henry like he said probably gets radio but also probably gets kidnapped by the NVA and brainwashed like John Candy's character in Volenteers

So yeah basically im back at family farm figuring out my life after living overseas for a year

My mom's off figuring her own shit out but every now and then she calls up to see how I'm doing and do a little mental rug pulling. And like I get that it's a parent's job to dote and worry

I tell her I'm fine and doing well, but that's not good enough, she tells me I should be going out to the expensive tourist trap town and and finding a way to hang out with people i have not spoken to in over a freaking decade including some friends of hers and my ex-girlfriend.

And she says it's because she wants to make sure that I'm socializing and being active but truth is it's like: No you want to live vicariously through me because of your lack of boundaries and because you want to impress some of your old friends.

But the thing is, and this is nothing personal i dont give much of a solitary fuck about any (well most) of these people.

For the record things ended well with my Ex and as far as most of these people go, you know, we follow each other on Insta but outside of boosting each others account numbers its not like we kept up regular correspondence with each other.

Frankly most of us probably wouldn't be friends if we weren't born in the same school district. And that's okay

friends and family are the people you choose, to be with not just because of proximity, age and maybe a few basic shared interests.

It's not like we had some deeply close bond, We didn't go on some magic summer Adventure or bury a body together.

We mostly just had classes together hung out in between and that was it. That might sound a little cold to some but that was just part of the reality of growing up in a small town where everyone was about 5 Miles away. (Plus I had a dad who would never hesitate to let you know how much of an inconvenience it was to drive you anywhere)

Do I wish I had a happier childhood, yeah sure but who doesn't. Yes I was a bit of a loner and an outsider ( play edgy Emo music) and I get that this is probably the place of concern where my parent is operating from.

But for God's sake we're in different stages and states of our lives and I just don't see the need or have a reason to insert myself into theirs.

And truth of the matter is right now I'm doing pretty good for myself.

Working on a construction project on the farm. lost a little weight. Got friends on Discord I shoot the shit with. I'm also moving in a month so I'm going to be expanding my Social Circle a lot. And right now i got a Guy I'm texting with, and fingers crossed things might be getting a little more intense.

And it's that last thing which probably irks me the most and is part of the reason for this long salty overshare.

I came out to my mom (just her) over a year ago as Bi

and it's not like she rejected me or anything but it was pretty clear shes never accepted it or even wants to acknowledge it.

Maybe that's for the best considering how intrusive she seems to be in a lot of my life but sometimes it really feels like the moment I came out the closet she tried her best to kick the door shut.

She's not homophobic but she is opinionated and generationally there's some pretty big limits to her level of understanding.

As far as my dad and other family members go, until I'm more confident in my relationship exp. I just don't feel the need right now too sift through any potential drama or be intrusively questioned about this part of my identity.

Especially when they've been kind of absent from a big chunk of my life ( that's a whole other bag of issues that I'm not going to unpack right now)

But really I guess what triggered me the most about the call is my mom bringing up the ex like we both haven't moved well the fuck on in life, meanwhile the last person I was in a relationship with I think I probably felt more for them than anyone else previously.

But that kind of relationship doesn't get the same acknowledgment, acceptance or just normal room to breathe and yeah I'm still bitter about that

What can I say Bi Erasure sucks, especially when its from a parent and especially when you're partially complicit because you need boundaries and space

Rant over.

Tonight my dad (undiagnosed Boomer autistic) gave me ( blame the vaccine Indigo child autistic) the "we didn't start the fire" speech about how his generation did all these great things

but how they were undone (but not by his generation, no sir).

And now he says it's up to my generation to fix everything but he says my generation is too cynical and blames everyone else.

And it's like; yeah because that's how all yall old ass motherfuckers get yourself off the hook every time.

Maybe we'll stop blaming you for everything when you stop trying to take credit for everything.

You seem to be under the impression that Society like the Roku box is my responsibility to fix: It ain't! I just got to survive the day you just got to not sign the house away

God damn it's already 12:00 noon, and the world isn't right. I'm trying to pay a goddamn International bill

online but apparently the systems wants me to go fuck myself

One card doesn't work because they didn't update the phone number even though I called them twice about it and they can only confirm with fucking text

The other card decided to flag the transaction after multiple attempts well no shit it keeps in declining i gotsta pay the bill don't I ??????

Whooooosah

Im okay all an all mild headache and tennis elbow from working out

Anxiety is acting like a motherfucker today

A Cobranami as 900 sneks escape from a snak farm in sothern China following a massive typhoon

Reports say that some of the Sneks could be seen riding the waves into the local village reportedly ready to fuck some motherfuckers the fuck up.

Might be a bit dense topic, but I'm curious if anyone has any theory or speculations about how the USSR and Eastern Bloc might have factored in the shows universe. We know the Cold War and space race was a huge part of Rusty's childhood (poor little Demitry). Obviously, Dr. Venture Sr. made his living off of government contracts and ran some operations.

The fact that M.O.T.H.E.R even had access to drugs to flood the underground bunker implies he probably did mk ultra experiments as well. (possibly drugged the action man, and eventually created the super serum Sgt Hatred was given)

We know based on Brock and Mol's relationship, tensions between the global powers presisted on pretty much the same timeline as ours. But Hunter also mentions the Wall coming down before it happened, implying global control

Would definitely have been an interesting topic to see the show cover in passing had the show continued
