This is a terrible trend. Even my anti-social ass used to love to go to the arcade when I got the rare opportunity to do so as a kid. That we’ve just collectively decided to sit at home and scroll on phones is so, so evil.

Working in IT

Describe working in IT to normies.

Describe working in IT to normies. : sysadmin

That’s perfect. I’ve had this happen numerous times in my career:

User/Manager: When will [major project] be completed?

Me: This is the first I’ve heard of this project. When was it scoped and what is the goal of the project? Who is running it?

User/Manager: Oh, I thought you knew. [Major Project] is due in a week. Your team should get rolling to meet the deadline!

Me: Looks like about six months of work even if we bust ass. Not gonna happen.

User/Manager: Why is IT always so useless?!?!?!

Look Grunge

This just is not true at all. Women did have their own grunge style. I was there. I remember.

As usual with fashion, women just had more options for “grunge” gear than men did. While many women in that era did in fact also wear ratty t-shirts, a flannel overshirt and Doc Martens (my very close woman friend’s garb most days!), women had other options than the male uniform for the grunge look. They were often in babydoll, mini or slip dresses with dark tights and boots (usually Docs), often paired with flannel, a leather jacket or an oversized cardigan.

It’s a bit Hollywood-ized (as it’s from a Hollywood movie), but this Bridget Fonda outfit below would’ve been pretty typical of the female grunge aesthetic back then, including the hat.

The idea that there was no common women’s grunge look back then is fucking ludicrous and 100% wrong.

Eternal Offer

Does anyone think the modern left has the best interest of anyone in mind other than themselves as atomized individuals? Their only guiding light seems to be their own self-aggrandizement and proving they are the most moral, the most righteous and that they are the most fecklessly forgiving human who has ever lived.

I have no idea how such suicidal pseudo-empathy develops.

As for me, to the enemies of civilization I offer an eternity below the ground. For everyone else, friendship.
