Hah! My mom was my ride to work, and since she started her work day at 6 am, that meant I got dropped off at a little after 5 am, several hours before the park opened. And the music was still playing then. I got so sick of hearing Vivaldi's The Four Seasons (at least, La Primavera. I don't remember if they played other music from The Four Seasons).

I did close on occasion, but I was usually opening. I admit it was one of the better jobs I had when I was young. I tried transfering to other stores the following season (one in Germany, then one in France). I should've stuck with the Emporium.

Italy was one of my favorite places to go for lunch! It was a long walk, though; I was in the Emporium in England. So we probably did meet!

Huh. Small world. I worked at BG that year. It was my first job. Didn't keep the name tag though. They kept putting your home state or country on badges for a few years after.

I was amused to learn it existed. I worked in a cold warehouse but the battery room (where they charge the forklifts) was always too cold, so they put a Big Ass Fan in to push the warm air down from the ceiling. "Wait, is that really its name?" Yup.

The assembly shop I work in now has two of these fans. Feels like once I learned they existed, I started seeing them everywhere.

But... it is easy. And so is the package manager. You don't have to use the command line if you don't want to, it is just another option.

"We've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty."

I still play XCOM 2. The mod Long War of the Chosen really breathed new life into the game for me. I'd love to see the series continue.

I vowed a long time ago to never buy another Ubisoft game unless they stop being shitty. I think it was around the time they decided to implement always-online DRM for single-player games. Fuck that shit.

Here is mine.

Voter turnout was low in 2024 compared to 2020. I made a conjecture as to why that'd be the case when the stakes were so damn high. But fuck me for trying to point that out.

You don't need to convince me that Trump is much worse.
