I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Also, they're calling a meal served between 5 and 7 AM "brunch." That's just wrong.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

In other news, apparently Louisiana just banned legal tender for second-hand merchandise.

Have legislators and policymakers lost their minds?

You cannot ban legal tender. Can you?

Because books.

So ... you're supposed to use illegal tender? Monopoly money? Barter?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This country is going insane.

Looks like it's not actually as bonkers as it sounds.

Oh, that's different. That's like when they passed that law a few years back about reporting purchases made in cash over a certain amount.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

What in the flying fuck? That likely applies to my organization.

REGULAR dealers in secondhand goods, scrap metal, and junk are required to make records of cash deals of more than $25. Record includes ID of seller/buyer, description of goods (to include identifying marks if they exist), and cash exchanged.

Ah. Okay.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I nearly choked on my pizza. Which had cheese (two kinds) but no hummus.

If you got your pizza at Regnelli's (which I suspect you have) note that they do have a hummus app which is actually pretty tasty.

In other news, apparently Louisiana just banned legal tender for second-hand merchandise.

While this sounds crazypants (and I will be investigating it more thoroughly shortly) I will say that metal/copper theft and resale is a HUGE HUGE ENORMOUS issue here and it appears that is bill, however totally ridonkulous, is trying to address that.

If this bill is what it seems to be, it makes me laugh that Louisiana must go about and apply the EXACT WRONG SOLUTION in the MOST EGREGIOUS MANNER to an actual problem.

And I will admit to being pretty annoyed by the ha-ha aren't southern people the most fucking stupid people on the planet tone of the comments. They are politicians. Of course they're stupid. At least they're stupid and self-serving in a more entertaining manner than in the S-M-R-T-er states.

Trust my rage

Fwiw, most prisoners eat on a really early day schedule. Meal time is very guard intensive and by shifting the hours the prisoners eat, it allows the guards to rotate in and out at their meal times without needing a lot of extra guards.
