Crop

My partner is hotter at nearly 40 than she was at 23. Contra the Fat Acceptance bozos, it’s just not true that you have to look like a bloated dumpster as you get older. She looks a whole lot better in a crop top than she did then (and even then, she looked damn good).

Working out fucking works motherfuckers.

Weirdly Caught

Boomers hiring managers called me a job hopper for having internships in college.

Boomers are weirdly caught up on job-hopping — when in reality, changing jobs is the only way these days that you can get a better salary. Even if you work at a company for 10 years, they will often hire someone for 40% more than you make doing the same job. Then when you complain that new hires are making far more for the exact same work, they will tell you that 40% raises just “aren’t done.” Then there’s no choice but to leave.

People generally don’t job-hop because they want to; it’s done so they can get what they are worth.

(Internships as in this case are a totally different thing, though, about which Boomers are also apparently dunces.)

Mars Mars Mars

What kind of clown-ass shit is it to believe that we shouldn’t send humans to Mars because it doesn’t make money? I see a lot of people who call themselves liberals making this sort of argument and it is painfully hypocritical. I hate the people I should in principle like because they are also idiots.

Bell

Well that’s an ambitious cover. I like it. That’s one of my favorite Metallica songs. I don’t think it’s as good as the Metallica version but it’s nice to see someone else tackle this very difficult song. I once could play nearly all of this on piano at actual speed — and it took me months to learn.
