what i miss most about being a chocolatier (besides the honor of gayest job title imaginable) is we had these massive bars of chocolate for tempering that were 10lbs and we had to break them into smaller chunks. by using a sledgehammer of course. i LIVED for that shit

all the other people in production HATED busting them especially at the end of the shift but i fucking loved it. give me the hammer. i can be trusted with the hammer. And everyone did in fact trust me with the hammer because again they all thought it was tedious and painful. me? i was having the time of my life. even if i had to pick up the slack for other people i would be annoyed for all of five seconds before the euphoria of getting to smash things set in. and the production areas had windows too so customers often just got to watch me beat the shit out of a massive chocolate bar. with a hammer. like a zoo animal. i was getting paid to do that. every day i miss it.

Explaining the housing woes to one of my coworkers:
"Both my grandparents died within the span of a year, leaving me with enough for a down payment, and I've been extra conscious about my credit score for the past ten years, so my credit score is excellent. But the bank won't let me have a loan because I don't make enough per year."
Him: "yeah, that debt to income ratio is a real killer."
Me: "...I have zero debt."
Him: "...? Let me sort this out. You say you have the down payment, which is the hard part."
Me: "yeah."
Him: "and you have agood credit score which is the other hard part."
Me: "yeah."
Him: "and zero debt."
Me: "none."
Him: "... how much did they say you have to make?"
Me: "30k a year to qualify for fha loans."
Him: "you got all the hard parts done and they STILL won't let you have a mortgage loan now"
Me: "seems it."
Him: "...it's way worse than I thought it was."
Me: "yup!"

Shit therapists say really does feel like those "shouldn't this be obvious" game loading screen tips. Like you got stuff like "communicating your feelings verbally will make others aware of how you feel" and "if you feel overwhelmed in a situation, you can remove yourself from the situation until you calm down" and you roll your eyes like ugh isn't that just common sense, but someone who got thrown in with no tutorial and is operating everything completely wrong will spit out their cereal like HOLD ON YOU CAN JUST DO THAT?

Explanation from OP in the replies
restoration ecology tends to want to restore to a past state of an ecosystem, but magically that past state never involved people! Harvest, reciprocity, etc are all ignored because we pretend there's such a thing as prairie without people. Turns out, that imagined prairie never existed, there were always people here and there should people involved in restored prairie too!

BTW for anyone too lazy to do the math a wage of $125 a day works out to about $15/hour for an 8-hour workday so..... someone in 1923 definitely had a vision of the future

People have been wondering what has to come next after the wizardblogging and clownblogging and whatever and my pitch is medieval monks. Like we can all pretend to be tonsured.

A Quebec Superior Court judge has signed off on a sex abuse class-action settlement involving the Montreal archdiocese.
The agreement, announced earlier this year, includes a minimum $14.8 million in compensation for victims of sexual abuse committed by diocesan priests and lay employees of the archdiocese since 1940.
The lead plaintiff in the class action was a victim of Brian Boucher, a since-defrocked priest who was convicted of sexually abusing two boys under his supervision and sentenced in 2019 to eight years in prison.
Montreal law firm Arsenault Dufresne Wee said today nearly 80 victims are part of the class action it filed in April 2019, which was authorized by the court in 2021. [...]
Each victim will be compensated between $96,000 and $160,000, and receive an apology letter from Archbishop Christian Lépine. [...]
