  • Not in my experience.

    There have been so many yellow jackets and wasps that used to live in front of this house, and they tended to dive bomb anyone headed between the driveway and front door.

    That and I got caught up in a swarm when a friend of mine stepped on a yellow jacket best when we were all about 7 or 8. I just happened to be nearby and got stung 16 times. My younger brother got hit at least 18 (they list count at that point) and he needed an epi for even though without a known allergy to bee stings. Maybe after almost 20 songs you get symptoms anyway.

    Either way, I’ve never forgiven bees since that day and I never will. I’m not out hunting them down or anything, but if I encounter them, and it’s somewhere I have regular need to go, they’re getting evicted without warning with prejudice. And I will laugh while they’re dying.








  • I did night shift for like 9 years. I actually preferred it and 10ish years later I have no regrets about it. Honestly I kinda wish I still had that job. The place has changed how it works a lot according to someone I still talk to that is still there, so I would probably hate it now. But other than management sucking, I was damn good at it and it was satisfying. Not the work itself, (it was just a warehouse for a clothes company) but I was satisfied at how well I picked everything up and other than a handful of positions, given the ability to loop time, I could have run the whole place minus those particular spots.

    Either way, that part of it was satisfying. And I liked not always missing stuff that happened during the day. I could switch sleep schedules to fit other plans when necessary. I wasn’t always just automatically out of a given social interaction because of the time, or unable to make a certain doctor appointment.

    I feel like there a metaphysical bar that billionaires have to limbo under to become billionaires that is a hard cap on IQ.

    Who among the super rich isn’t on a spectrum STRICTLY ranging from “completely stupid” to “completely evil”?

    I don’t think they have literally any other personality traits at all. No friends outside of business partners or people trying to get a piece of it.
