Went out with the boys for a couple nights.
Night one: friend’s house, cards, cheap drinks, career-ending jokes, laughed until it hurt.
Night two: nice bars, then trash bars, lines, $18 drinks, and a bathroom full of sweaty strangers.
Night one won. Easily.
Maybe I’m getting old. Or maybe realizing you don’t need a venue when you’ve got the boys, alcohol, and zero logistics is just growing up.
I grew up in the suburbs. Then I lived in the country. After that, city people stopped making sense.
No freedom. No privacy. No land. Just a rented shoebox you pretend is “yours.”

@DrunkRepub They’ll tell you it’s all fake and this goes deeper than we could possibly imagine. The Egyptian-French time traveling military definitely had something to do with it.
Halo might’ve accidentally written the West’s ending.
The Forerunners were the most advanced beings in the galaxy. They built a solution to an unstoppable parasite, then collapsed under the guilt of what it took to win and wiped themselves out.
What they left behind got inherited by people who could barely understand the tools, let alone use them as intended.
A civilization builds the future, then hands the keys to people who treat the ruins like a theme park.
