How else will you get that gorgeous metallic flavor that portends your teeth falling out?

I’ll never get the vague vinegar stains out of my hand

Relevant across the spectra from what I’ve heard, but I don’t doubt the anxiety and emotional investment is more fierce in our cases.

Sorry, I couldn’t read your comment because my Mom was using the phone.

Ah, sorry, I thought you were responding to me directly at first. I’m as old as the internet. I’m just a little slow at times.

Not sure what this bot is on about, but it’s repeating my sentiment word-for-word but in bold, which is kinda scary. Would recommend downvoting.

You’re welcome! I’m sorry for sharing. A lot of people left that place far worse off than me, and it was a tragic introduction to inequity for me. I’m here because I’m horrified. Most people should be. I’ll give you more details in a DM if you have any questions.

Guy in the Lab in his 60’s - still great at his job - canned because his wife had late stage cancer and needed a lot of treatment. Those in the Lab knew that he smoked weed (the entire Production department also smoked). They tested him and no one else. Bro had an art to conducting a Farinograph that will be lost to time. His wife passed less than a year later.

The same company (very illegally) fired everyone trying to unionize a few decades ago, so it tracks out. They just didn’t know how to form a collective and make a Class Action.

I’ve met ones responsible for introducing new company policies targeting specific individuals because their medical treatment was getting too expensive. I would almost rather deal with full-time landlords.

Someone knows the Master’s thesis trick.

I feel like if I could remove my connotations from the word, Cicada itself would be an awesome name.

“they make something beautiful instead of death” Agreed, but your neighbor’s kid’s fingers might not agree after that M-80

Yeah. it might have been a reach. There’s a soliloquy about Gatsby’s death: “He must have looked up at an unfamiliar sky through frightening leaves and shivered as he found what a grotesque thing a rose is and how raw the sunlight was upon the scarcely created grass.”

I was relying too heavily on people knowing that moment in the book.

It’s… honestly haunting when you read it in the context of the novel. My arm hairs are standing on end just revisiting it. The narrator, Nick, might sound cordially distanced, but he’s emotionally rocked by all of this. They were really great about understating psychological trauma back in the day.

Hammer falls “Overruled.”

“He must have looked up at the sky - which was kinda different - and then admired his new lawn.”

Okay, but like… can I see it?

Every day we lose a little more of our humanity.

Jesus, I hope I’m the only reason…
