Update #99 Helmets & shit

Howlin' howdies! Awoooo!

...

I'm not a furry, I swear.

Scene 13 is doneso, and I've started on scene 14 as well, so we're moving forward. Neato! I love moving forward, it's my favorite direction. That's why I never got the hang of moonwalking. I'm excellent at jaywalking though.

Fun fact about jaywalking: it's technically illegal in Sweden, but there's no punishment for it. So in practice it's pretty much as if it wasn't illegal. At least that was a fun fact about ten years ago, I haven't double-checked whether the laws have changed, so try it at your own peril.

A brain this big must be protected!

Got a proper haircut for the first time in a while. Was feeling good about it until I paid roughly 40 bucks and promptly remembered why I started using a buzz cutter at home instead. That, and I hate sitting still in that damn chair. Got cut in my ear as a wee lad because I couldn't sit still. Just a tiny cut though, so no permanent mark. Would've made a great conversations starter otherwise.

Can't exactly slam my foot on the table, roll up the sock, and point out the scar I have on my foot. Believe me, I've tried. At least I still have my hyperextended finger. Handball injury that one.

Uhm... Yeah, I uh... Lost my helmet. Yeah. That's why I'm not wearing mine. No other reason.

A neighbors kid got into beekeeping a few years back. The first time I bought honey from them I realized that all honey I've previously eaten have been fucking scams. Like, this is just some kid with an interest doing some beekeeping as a hobby, not some techniques passed down through the generations or some shit. And yet it tastes better than anything I can buy at the grocery store.

Now, I have since learned that I can order honey online directly from other beekeepers, and those are really good as well. But it got me thinking about enshittification in general. It's not a new phenomenon, albeit greatly accelerated recently.

On a similar note, I ate some wild deer with the family the other day, and my mom talked about how wild meat is always "gamey", in a way that implies that it's not normal. A sentiment I've heard many times before of course. But really, domesticated animals have been bred to have completely different bodies and flesh from normal animals, if anything their meat should be referred to as the odd one in the equation.

Everything's been been made to be produced as cheaply as possible at quantity, with no real thought about quality. And generation by generation we get used to it. I thought that shitty store bought honey was normal. Just like I assuredly still think a bunch of low quality things are normal.

It's difficult to be a quality-minded consumer when we've all been fooled into not even knowing what quality is anymore. And with more and more of the internet being written by AI, coming generations are probably only going to struggle even harder. If everything you've ever consumed was regurgitated crap, then how are you supposed to know any better?

I don't need a helmet, I have magic.

Unfortunately, I don't really have much of a point here, and certainly no answers. Just wanted to get that off my chest. It's been bouncing around in my head together with a really dumb comedy routine that I envisioned myself performing. Maybe I'll write that one out next week for the big 100, that could be fun. And dumb. Like absolutely mindbogglingly dumb.

Anyway, that's about all I had today, apologies for being a bit of a bummer. Even if it does happen to be a part of my name. Catchphrase!

Thank you very much for your support, and I wish you an enrichified week!
