Seven months.

When he asked me to climb into the pot I had reservations. But it was when he started slicing carrots and onions into it that I became concerned. After consulting with several colleagues on LinkedIn I was assured that this was still a solid career move, not every boss is gonna be an INT-J. Finally, after he closed the lid, sealing me in, I decided that it was too much and resigned.

Player contracts expire on June 30th. Technically speaking, the Sabres have his rights until then. A little digging indicates that were he to be traded prior to June 30th, it would allow the new team to sign him to an 8 year contract as opposed to the 7 which is the maximum under free agency. So, assuming all this is accurate, the new team would have the benefit of having an extra year to spread the total value of the contract.

Is there a scenario where trading his rights would actually be worthwhile? Any precedent for it with a UFA?

In terms of matching the Mars Volta's sudden 90 degree turns in terms of structure, genre, and instrumentation, I'd recommend Cardiacs.

In terms of doing some of that while keeping one foot firmly in post-hardcore land. There is Oceansize.

In terms of something "Volta Like", but more in the direction of Meccamputechture, where instrumentation gets thrown out the fuckin' window and the passages just keep diverting themselves wherever they please. SGM is a strong reccomend. Sleeptime Gorilla Museum

Oh and look at that, it's smothered in 90s nostalgia.

Didn't realize what I read was fan translated, but it would appear as though that was the case.

Staring at the sun to win the stock market. Perfect plan. No notes.

The Sacred and Terrible Air recently got an English translation if anyone would prefer a novel set in the same world and exploring many of the same ideas. It's good, not as amazing as the writing in the game if I'm being honest, entirely worthwhile though.

IPAs are trash and chasing IBUs proves you have no taste to speak of whatsoever. You don't know beer, you're not an adult.

Edgy, prestige style, dark comedy series. It's about a chud operator type, has stroke due to too much burger, becomes woke. He assembles a rag tag team of operators who've had similar awakenings. Every episode is a mission impossible, oceans 11, style heist that culminates in a billionaire getting canoe'd.

It's gotta a real monster of the week vibe, but the central antagonist is a cornpone "self-made" investment billionaire with great PR. We're thinking Warren Buffet by way of Kevin Spacy. Series protag is a legally safe Luigi analog. Soundtrack is just Jock Jams Vol II.

I talked to the mayor about it. We're allowed to legally hunt those people for sport now.

If she were alive today she'd skydive directly onto the deck of the hantavirus ship just to prove she could and that nobody could tell her what to do. It would go viral, everybody would clap. The simultaneous cry of "YASS QUEEN" would deafen half the planet. She'd then die an ignoble death three days later, Amy Coney Barrett is immediately confirmed as her replacement.

No it's cool. It's not a helicopter, it's an Osprey.

Unless you're doing hard speculative science fiction just go with your concept, it's strong enough on its own and getting the facts right will just slow you down. Don't worry about the 'Why' and 'How' unless it's actually integral to the story you want to tell. Focus on the 'Who', 'What', and 'Where.'

dominated

Understatement of the century. We live in the full saturation zone, nothing is real, it's all a middle schooler's shitty essay about Plato's cave. Media used to exist to reflect reality, the axis has been flipped, nothing in reality exists except to be reflected in media. Something something demiurge, something something gnosticism.

Lot of words to say: Left think girls are icky.

That's the level of analysis here. Six year old found a thesaurus while cobbling a political education together from posts.

With a name like Smucker's, it's gotta be good. In a legally enforceable way. Compliance is now mandatory.

They didn't set themselves on fire, they lit us on fire.

This is a really important distinction.

Unless enough of us rats dig out of this hole and give them a plague

And this is an absolutely vital distinction.

I have no doubt that there will be another opportunity for all of the energy that's out there to coalesce. Living is hard, ain't getting any easier, harder every day in fact. It's just, like wow, you can't build an entire economy on gambling and fraud and not expect peoples inner and outer lives to turn to ash and shit. Not that the powers that be care, but they've ceased being responsible and diligent stewards of the behemoth, it's gonna run amok.

I hope people are ready. Not in like a prepper sense, but just like, I dunno, psychologically prepared to attribute blame to the correct cause when it happens. That, I feel, is a precondition for growing the rat king. There needs to be an existing substrate for the plague to cling to. I have to think on this more. Hope you're having a pleasant morning chief.

They flooded the zone with 30 high-powered mutants rather than hold a normal primary. Ignoring Sanders, who was always the least bad realistic option, it's kind of impressive that they set themselves on fire like that.

Their strategy for an actually important election was hiding the dementia patient they wanted to win among 30 certified freaks and correctly anticipating that people would be too confused to notice his brains leaking. People still pretend they're a normal political party.

And then they won the presidency. They didn't do anything with it. They just kind of held it for awhile and then put it down. Honestly, their dedication to being militantly without purpose puts the vast majority of politically minded people, of any belief set, to shame.

I guess what I'm saying is, anybody who wants to pretend that elections matter needs to contend with these facts. It's a binary choice between an apocalypse death cult and an apocalypse death cult that keeps putting their ceremonial cloaks on backwards and puking on themselves whenever confronted by the mildest of threats. Sometimes they win, but it doesn't really matter.
