Black Friday

It's the week of Thanksgiving, which marks the beginning of the holiday season. This is one of the best times of the year to observe normal people in their natural habitat. 

Here's how it works:

On Thursday, the normal people are going to be thankful for everything that they have. The news media will highlight all of the kind people giving Thanksgiving dinner's to the poor and homeless. Families will get together and argue about religion and politics at the table. Millions of people are going to eat turkey, some drink heavily, maybe watch some football. Then fall asleep all bloated from eating too much. 

Then on Friday they are going to be trampling over each other to get the best deals in the store. 

You gotta love the normal people.  

I worked the door-busting on a Black Friday in retail once. It was ridiculous. It lowered my view of the human race. The die hard Black Friday shoppers all came in on Wednesday night to scope out the store so they would know right where to go for whatever heavily discounted item that they wanted. The second the door opens, they pile in and race down the aisles of the store to get them.  I just got out of the way and let them go.

No I'm not a Black Friday shopper. It disgusts me actually, so I'll just sit around smoke some weed and enjoy some leftover turkey while the normals brave the crowds.

The best reactions to the election

It was just announced that Donald Trump won the 2024 election for president of the United States of America.   There are two perfectly normal reactions to this news. One is with joy. The other is with a deep sense of loss and anxiety over how the world is going to go to hell over the next 4 years.  With that, I thought it would be fun to show the reactions from all the drama queens on my social media feeds.  This is coming from both sides.  I remove names to protect the innocent.  This is gonna get pretty bad.  I'm sorry. Drama is a very normal reaction to wins or losses. I don't see how this will help.  Honestly.   I will continue to update as the good stuff keeps coming in.

Feminism or Canceled

I once came across a blog about feminism.  This particular blog had built a small, but tight knit group of 🐑 educated and professional female followers who all shared the same beliefs, values, and all preached the same bullshit.   It took me three comments to get banned from this blog. I wasn't rude or anything, I simply questioned the wisdom of one of the blog authors points. My comment was relevant and respectful.  I did this for two reasons. First, it was bullshit.  The second is I like to stir the pot. After I got banned, I was still able to read the comments which I did for a little while.  But I quickly got bored with it so, I moved on with my life. There were a few males in there who also seemed to share in the same thought processes as would be evidenced by their comments on various blog posts, but I'm sure they either had ulterior motives, or they were gay and this was a place where they found acceptance and a sense of importance. I try not to be ...

Election Year Normality

  Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.   ~ Euripides I'm starting this blot on an election year.  At the time of this writing, there is 23 days left until the election between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. I'm not going to tell you who to vote for. That is your choice. You should vote for whoever you think is best suited to run the country for the next 4 years.  And might I add that it is perfectly normal to pick a side and vote. It is perfectly normal to choose a candidate who you like and support that person for whatever office they're running for.  It is also perfectly normal to fear the other side, although such fears are often irrational, but that's what normal people do.   What I will say is that in a world that's going to shit, it's always best to look for the light.  So, I encourage you to choose wisely. Don't just jump on board with a few of the latest/greatest talking points but do your re...
