Maybe everyone is secretly laughing at you.

The guy who wrote "Amazing Grace" was such a potty mouth that his captain disciplined him for making up his own vulgarities to go above and beyond the filth lexicon.

It contributes to a positive society.

Cashiering isn't all that bad unless youre a miserable person to begin with or your boss makes it miserable.

**** having to interact with strangers all day.

the **** does that even mean

a negative society sounds fun

A general trend of not being a dick to people without provocation, I'm guessing.

A homogeneous society sounds bad in either direction.

What DwnWthWvls said. And people are nice to me if I'm nice to them, so it's win-win.

TIL that fallout 76 will not be on steam. Instead Bethesda is releasing a launcher for Fallout 76. Fine wit me. Hopefully they do allow for some connection to Steam through their launcher. I like being able to track hours. Maybe the launcher will have that anyway.

The collective actions of our population dictate, in part, the reality we face. Youre boring.

Im nice to people because I want other people to be nice to each other and recognize their role as a cog in the machine. If you dont want to be a cog then **** off and dont rely on the machine.

I have been getting really into the world of animalia lately for some reason.

TIL The Virginia opossum is the only native marsupial in North America.
