Probably only @shootER and @Jenee will get this but:

When CSM photobombs your Billy Baddass shot 19th C version:

Not only are those real, but the British make better chocolate than the Yanks and they have a cheeky sense of humour.

It does make a much better romcom than a horror movie. I can finally like this movie now.

Unless you add fragrance to a water vaporizer, which some do, it is not stinky. If it is stinky that is the presence of bacteria and you need to clean the fucker. It should be noted that water vapor from a fog machine is not an irritant like burning incense is to the lungs. water vapor is around us all right now and in every breath we take.

Oh, and it is really cool when you shine lasers and lights through it while playing music and having a dance party. Smoke can be interesting too, but you do not want a room full of smoke when you are dancing your ass off.

Hmm smells like blueberry -- wait, no, bubblegum

I remember the fog enhancing the smell at the club back in the day. It was a combination of old spice, aftershave, BO, and desperation. I do not think any of that came from the fog machine, and that was why we all smoked. A dirty ashtray smelled better than we did after being drunk and dancing for a few hours.

I don't go into clubs anymore since I quit smoking, and smoking was banned. I like the smell of burning tobacco. I do not like the smell of drunk motherfuckers grinding on each other in a sweatbox. Oh, and worse yet is if those people eat curry or garlic.

We have a one syllable word for that in the US. We call it Trump.

In @Jenee 's mouth a very small microbe suddenly sees a microdick thrust towards it.

Yes, yes. The truly enlightened sit on their fat, idle asses and collect what they are owed for merely existing. Anyone who makes extra effort on their own behalf is a dupe.

You have admitted you work in a place with a couple of other people. You are a welder, and your supervisor probably sees your extra effort, and is probably not a corporate goon from thousands of miles away that doesn't know shit about you. This is why UA is selectively obtuse.

Walmart is one of the biggest employers in america. The people who make corporate decisions in walmart about pay levels and benefits do not ever have an idea of who works hard and who doesn't. They do not work on the floor and may never have. That is the reality for most workers in america. It is great your boss sees and appreciates you, but that is not the case for most workers.

The only benefit you get for working extra hard in most jobs is getting more work, and getting stuck in that position because your boss needs your productivity to get their goals accomplished so promotion up the ladder out of grunt work is a problem for your boss. That latter part wouldn't be so terrible if it was like the old days where a career of grunt work would mean a good increase in pay and retirement benefits from the company. Today that isn't the case.

unionized office life is goooooooooooooood.

I'm remote and self directing now. Google bathurst and lakeshore street view and look south... that's my view from work now.

Effort without ambition to a worthwhile payoff is not just futile, it's straight up masochism.

Still better than wasted effort in pursuit of the ambitions you'll never achieve because you're a spectrum-y, socially awkward mess who hasn't made a lasting new friend in almost 30 years. I mean, so I've heard.

I will say it is not impossible, just hard. I have a friend who found a decent place and is appreciated after a long time of dealing with the problems of awkward social interaction. It is hard to find because it seems a lot of management expects a certain sort of social behavior from people to consider them part of the team.

I personally found socially awkward people are very loyal and hard working if you appreciate their contributions and work to include them on their level. Acceptance and working with a person's differences is a huge benefit I always liked in the workplace.

By what arrogance do you presume to define "worthwhile" for anyone else?

This is very true. Most of us would not have followed the person we are fucking to some message board to participate in their humiliation fetish, but this seems to be a worthwhile endeavor for the @Jenee , along with fucking a worthless craven ginger douchebag. Thjese would not be my choices in life, nor would they hold any worth, but for her they are pure gold.

We can judge that like a motherfucker, but define it for others we cannot.
