Downtown Khazan: Ice Cold Utopia

Mary's back. Nice.

Sigmiburo here.

Let's get that money!

I--

....Nah. **** that. I got tired just writing that much.

I'm gonna go train and then lay down.

..****, I might not even train.

Sigma Male tip #8,746,248: Wear an adult diaper. The time you waste going to the toilet throughout the day is better spent making money.

I go to bed at 3 am and wake up at 2 am for a total of -1 hours of sleep, giving me 25 hours a day to grind.

Subby clearly gets it. Nice quantum grinding, there.

Gladdy keeps getting mad at me forgetting her birthday, our anniversary, Christmas, etc.

I didn't forget anything. I erased the data from my mind, as such facts are, dare I say, superfluous to the grind.

*sits back and waits*

When you truly dedicate your--Hold, on. One sec.

Yes?

*gets popcorn*

......

....Huh.

...Really?

...O-Okay.

*films*

I'm now being told, that, no. I remember all of these things. I apparently was having a grind induced waking dream --What those unfamiliar with the grind call a 'hallucination'--and that if I ever dream about thinking I'm that Sigma again, I better wake up and apologize.

(Little does she know, all things must be sacrificed to the grind, sooner or later. I shall sacrifice my very humanity to the grind, if it demands it.)

Sure, man. *claps on shoulder*

It's a sad state of affairs for millennials and will only be worse for Gen Z. Thankfully, my parents gave me actually sound advice. "Work smarter, not harder." Nothing profound, but with Hustle Culture being as prevalent as it is, everyone needs to hear it.

Your parents are good people, then.

Yeah, I sit and look at millennials and all of the bad press they get ('Millennials have destroyed this industry!' or 'Millennials aren't willing to work') and think about how bullshit it is. If industries are falling apart because Millennials don't buy their crap, it's because...Millennials don't have the money to waste on that stuff. No, Millennials aren't lazy, they're just coming to terms with the wise idea that they don't want to work themselves to death for crap pay. And it's Millennials who are suffering because of what Boomers set up and Gen X mostly enjoyed (my generation).

And Gen Z? Ugh. They're SO screwed.

I deeply apologize for the crap my generation assisted in setting up, and assure you I support Gen Z and Millennials.

Canadians, get out there and vote. And vote for the NDP, don't believe the Liberal lies about 'a vote for us is a vote against the Cons'. Look at the past elections, not the projections; in many areas, the Libs were BELOW the NDP in votes.

Okay, that's my limit on politics here.

In other news, have potentially messed up my shoulder again.

.....

Carrying groceries.

Dammit.

Ohhh, ouch. Let's hope it's not too bad. Groceries - 1; Sharp - 0

Thanks.

It's...bad, but I'm hoping it's not a full-on 'Rotator Cuff Injury'. I don't think I can take the 12 month recovery plan again.

It's better than yesterday, and I'm doing some of my old stretches. Carefully. We'll see.

Yeah, damn groceries. Shouldn't put the milk substitute cartons and the other heavy stuff in the same bin.

[Tami]

I did like the Mic Drop.

[Nik Hasta]

Miburo, just the usual FYI, as the pandemic has lifted sufficiently I am once more returned to the city of your fiancee.

I also had an enamel cap on one of my teeth break. Which is annoying because I only had it replaced in 2019.

The other one, which has been in my mouth for 16 years is perfectly fine.

[The MunchKING]

April? Since when is April badass?

I did like the Mic Drop.

That was cool, but I liked how she did the boody slam at the same time as the turtle hit the guy with his shell. Really sells how dangerous a boody-slam would be compared to getting slammed into with hard armor.

[Jcogginsa]

Basically every series after the 80s one makes her combat capable

[bruceleegreyhulk]

TMNT Tournament fighters Genesis version had April as a playable character.

[The Dog]

Depends on the continuity really. IIRC the 2003 series didn't really give her any notable combat capability, the 2007 CGI movie had her trained in martial arts, The CGI 2012 TMNT series had her get training by Master Splinter and be revealed to have psychic powers, the Michael Bay-produced movies didn't have her as much of a fighter, and I never watched the Rise of the TMNT.

She was badass in the original Mirage comics as well.

Well that one was my main point of reference.

TMNT Tournament fighters Genesis version had April as a playable character.

Huh, I had Nintendo.

In 2003, she received training from Splinter and was shown fighting alongside the Turtles on several occasions. She wasn't on their level, but she could hold her own.
