Signing in

You can tell a lot about the health of a civilization by their warning signs. Places with a lot of dumb folks will have very broad, very dumb warnings in public. "No feeding the birds." "Stop swimming in this drainage pond." That kind of thing.

Advanced civilizations have very precise signs. They've covered the bases of their regular, run-of-the-mill idiots, and now they're working hard to cover that other end of the bell curve: the talented idiot. When I was in Germany last time, there was a big warning sign that consisted of a 76-letter-long word that means "stop bothering this particular goose, Sven." I don't know who Sven was, but the goose looked pretty calm. It worked.

Now, I have a secret to tell you. You can just make your own signs. There's no law against it, except perhaps "littering," and the municipal sign factory doesn't have very good security. If you show up there past close and put in the door code that you shoulder-surfed off one of the employees returning from lunch a week prior, you have all night to fuck around with their sign-printing machine, making the most official-looking placards you can think of.

Is this wrong? I don't think so. It's a public space, and being able to put up an aluminum sign that says wacky crank shit is your right. For instance, just last week, I banned pickup trucks from parking by the playground. The cops figured out something was going on, because they didn't get any calls for toddlers getting backed over for a couple of days and sent a patrol truck to investigate. Took my sign right down.

What I discovered after that is that nobody keeps records of what signs are supposed to be there. Why would anyone put up a sign for no reason? They cost money, after all. The city is now suing the shit out of that officer for stealing the "no trucks" sign, thanks to an anonymous tipster who called in the theft. Guy wearing a reflective vest came by and put like four more of them up after the lawsuit made the news, just out of spite. I'm not entirely sure if he's actually a city worker; we ran into each other at 3am at the sign factory and just grunted. He was working on some really crazy signs about not feeding a particular swan. Probably German.

This is so interesting, the additional evaporation from blowing on it should actually make the ice cream cooler than before.

Thanks man

This is accurate

I feel like I’m running out of time. An endless cycle of me trying to catch up and make it in time before it’s too late.

I’m forever trying to make things right or have everything absolutely perfect no matter how ragged it makes me.

I’m trying to hold them all together- as well as me. But I feel the weight.

I am a paper boat adrift in a storm-swollen river—meant for still ponds and quiet hands—now carried too fast, too far, folding at the edges as the current outpaces my every effort to float.

Although I don’t believe I ever will.

First of all, F.E.A.R. is a game, a traumatizing one at that!

“F-E-A-R has two meanings: ‘Forget Everything And Run’ or ‘Face Everything And Rise.’ The choice is yours.”

If you've played Red and Blue, do yourself a favor and try Pokémon True RGB. It's a fan made game based on Gen 1.

You can play on mobile, PC or most conveniently, cheap Gameboy emulators. Green is available in english, too. It's been so much fun finishing it.
