Beer is arguably the foundation of human society. Grain (and the harvesting of it) is a building block of civilization, and beer is inextricably linked to that.

Right. I’m not gonna drink a cup of it, but I fucking love vinegar in a balanced flavor pallette. Hell, maybe even a bit unbalanced. The other day we had a hazmat spill at work and used vinegar to neutralize it. Smelled so goddamn good I had to make buffalo chicken for dinner.

Metalheads. The nicest people in the world cosplaying as the toughest.

Mmmm. Don’t forget the Sriracha.

Don’t do the Nazis’ job for them.

Even writing in the dirt on a new car can fuck up the clear coat.

There was a dude in Seattle who went by Phoenix Jones. He fashioned himself a masked vigilante, roaming the streets saving people from muggings and assaults.

Turns out he was mostly just picking fights with drunk frat guys. And we’re pretty sure he was dealing drugs and using the superhero facade to beat up his competition.

Imma let you finish, but Neo had the best ‘died and resurrected for our sins’ arc of all time.

Honk.

This song is featured in the horror movie Green Room, which is also an excellent answer to this question.

Yes, you are a very lucky minority. I would bet that 95% of humanity doesn’t like their job and 70% hates it. For the vast majority of people, work is a place where you go and somebody pays you to do something you don’t want to do.

If there’s a job that must be done

You’ll find it’s much more fun

Don’t pout, don’t sob,

Just do a half-assed job!

If you cut every corner then it’s really not so bad

Everybody does it, even mom and dad.

If nobody sees you, then nobody gets mad.

It’s the American way!

“My god, I’m exhausted! Aren’t you tired of always caring about everything?”

“No, Jinkx. I’m tired of other people NOT caring about everything.”

Seattle. And yes, it’s fucking expensive. Outside of the city is cheaper, but diminishing returns on inclusiveness the farther away you get.

If you have a tech background, living here gets way easier.

Same. If somebody speaks to me in Spanish, half the time I react by speaking German.

I’ll tell you that where I live in America is waaaaaayyyy more accepting than what you’re describing. A friend transitioned a couple years ago, and said that the insurance, doctors and her job were all super helpful and understanding. A drag queen duo just sold out one of the most popular venues in the city multiple nights for their annual holiday show. Hell, the bar down the street from me has a trans couple who are regulars and nobody gives a shit (coincidentally, they just moved here from Texas). It’s not even a queer bar or anything, it’s just a normal watering hole.

A lot of places in America suck, but there are oases, is what I’m saying.
