No problem, friend. I have time for both.

Hyper-vigilance rarely leaves you without anything to do. So, there's a plus. My therapist would be very proud of my re-framing.

Having no knowledge of chess really at all, I'm like 60% sure all those words are made up and it's just a giant gag the chess community uses to confuse people. They must have some random chess generator that spits out random gibberish that sounds impressive.

Okay, can someone explain to me why states with capital punishment don't just inject someone with a bunch of morphine and they just go to sleep and never wake up again? I hear all the time about the horrific shit they inject into people and the horrible deaths they suffer, while one easy drug can execute the person with no fuss? I just don't understand.

Seriously no idea at all. My wife, who doesn't generally care for music at all was very well acquainted with it. It was just one of those one-in-a-million things just seemed to happen.

Semi-relevant story time!

A couple weeks ago I was watching a favorite Youtuber, 12Tone, deconstructing a song I wasn't aware of. During the intro he made a joke about trying to explain the song, then stopped, saying everyone already knew what the song was. I had no idea at all. So I went and listened to the song and looked up a bit more about it.

Due to some weird convergence of chance and Matrix-esque internet dodging that I didn't know I was doing, I somehow missed out on the phenomenon that was Mr. Brightside.

It's a really good song and I had the fortune to be one of that day's lucky 10,000.

I mean, it's fine, but couldn't it do with more guns?

Because power appears to be even more addictive than money.

Have you tried presenting them in the form of a sonnet? I hear chicks dig poetry.

It might have been from Twitter or somewhere else, but awhile back someone said something akin to after someone passes $999 million, take the rest for the public good and give them a trophy that says "I won capitalism." I think it's a lovely idea.

For real. I just had the misfortune of looking at that cesspit for about 45 seconds and I feel like I need a shower.

There is nothing if value there whatsoever.

This month is only the July camp event. The proper November event is still a ways out. Plenty of time to prepare for it!
