Hobie: Oi Peter!

Peter: Sup?

Hobie: Uh...Mayday said her first word.

Peter: Dang it and I missed it! Well thats ok but did you at least get it on video?

Hobie: No but I'm sure she will say it again.

Peter: What was it? Mamma? Daddy? Hobie? Spider?

Hobie: Systemic oppresion.

Peter: Oh haha. Funny.

Hobie: I don't joke, bruv. She really said that. I taught it to her.

Peter: Hobie, that is way too advanced for her to say-

Mayday: Sys...tem...ic oppreee...sion.

Peter: Holy crap.

Hobie: See? Kids a born anarachist. Doesn't even follow the rules of child cognitive development. Already leagues ahead.

Peter: Of course she doesn't. She's got MJ's smarts.

Hobie: You're smart too.

Miguel: Last week he got stuck in the vending machine.

Hobie: You mean his hand?

Peter: No.

Hobie: How?

Peter: I don't even know.

Hobie: Yeah she's got her mums brains alright.

Hobie: Oi Peter!

All I’m seeing is a well paying job with good customers

Also?

MANY religions worldwide would consider this a solemn and respected post of work. Every form of paganism I have personally run across would say you’re doing an important duty. In Judaism, we’d say you’re fulfilling a Mitzvah by respecting the dead and honoring their memories.

If you go in with good intentions, any spirits still hanging around WILL NOT HURT YOU. Just show them respect.

Also seriously that’s nearly $17k a MONTH. I’ve had jobs where I didn’t earn that in a YEAR.

Even if those ghosts ain’t friendly, I am full-on taking that job. $200k a year. $200k a fuckin year. No retail, no food service, no manager hovering and riding my ass, no annoying coworkers? I’ll deal with the ghosts.

i’d take ghosts over people any day <3

Fresh air, no sitting in an office, no customer service, just me and a bunch of gravestones and maybe Maria from three graves down having a hissy? For that money, what’s not to like?

Plus like, what ghost is gonna decide ‘yes today I will take horrible vengeance on the person who quietly and respectfully keeps the plants tended and the headstones clean’. Whoever they’re gonna fuck with, it’s not gonna be me.

Fr tho, since when have you ever heard of the graveyard keeper being the one haunted? It’s always the dumbass who doesn’t listen to their advice that gets got.

My favorite part of Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is that if you don't play DnD, it's a solid fantasy movie, but if you DO play DnD, you can feel in your soul the table talk that's almost certainly happening over the events of the movie. Like...

"Are you guys sure you don't want to take a perception check?"

"I said we jump out the window."

or

"And he turns and walks directly northwards away from you guys."

"The map shows a rock-"

"HE WALKS OVER THE ROCK."

or

"Fuck it, I throw a potato."

"Okay... roll for potato, I guess."

"That was a 20."

or

"I know we won, but I have bonus actions and I'm going to use them, damn it."

psst...while the MET apparently has many trafficked artefacts, the temple I've seen some of you refer to? That was given to US by the Egyptian government as a thanks for helping with the relocating of Abu Simbel. Several other countries who helped also got gifts like this; Ägyptisches Museum in Berlin, Germany, the Rijksmuseum in Leiden, The Netherlands, Museo Egizio in Turin, Italy, and Parque de la Montaña, Madrid, Spain.

So this thing, and accompanying items?

Is not looted, stolen, or trafficked. It's there entirely legally.

Hot take: The much quieter level of corporate Pride this year is not worth celebrating.

Not because I want to spend my dollars on Pride merch sold by corporations that don’t care, but because the near-absence of corpo Pride is a canary in the coal mine. Corpo Pride is a barometer of sorts for social acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community. If Corpo Pride goes away, it should be because being LGBTQ+ is so normalized and seen as “no big deal” that there’s no message to ‘sell’ anymore; but what’s happening now is NOT that.
