The world is cruel and ugly. There are plenty of justifiable things to be upset and distraught over. I don't want to hear about those. I want to know what bizarre out of left field takes you have that infuriates you.

I'm still upset about Tenochtitlan falling and being buried. I'm a gringo, I shouldn't have an opinion about Lake Texcoco being drained centuries ago.

I'm annoyed the tomatoes went from growing good to growing Very Sad

This is on me, and it is my first time planting and I mostly went "eeehhhh I think this is good"

I did my goal, which was get from seed to red tomato.

But now there's fungal infections, end rot, armyworm moths, splitting skin, and general sadness.

I did get enough to make salsa though.

I feel our ancestors spirits because I'm sure they felt the same way about farming.

Driving an automatic truck. My car is a manual fiat 500, and I've been driving it for a while now and getting used to that. Driving a Nissan titan afterwards feels A) weird, B) wrong C) it's too big D) where's the shifter.

I hate it, but because hubs has a truck whenever I drive not my car it's a nightmare that requires adjustment.

You and me both brother, you and me both. Fuck Spain, fuck Cortes, fuck Pizarro, and fuck the catholic church. So much history, so much writing lost to these bastards

It really does break my heart knowing so many codices were destroyed. The ones that survived are the neatest comic books ever made and it's such a tragedy so much art was burned.

HBO never finished Carnivale.

That's not weird. I mean the show is weird as fuck, but your thought isn't.

I'm still mad at Yahoo for killing xFire with a frivolous lawsuit.

xFire was better 20 years ago than Discord is today. We had a real gem stolen from us.
