Life just be that way all the time 🙃

I looked forward to my crispy plane Coke all day. Air Canada switched to Pepsi products. Life is soup and I am a fork.

Seen some talk of unethical fiction, so here’s my take

EA getting acquired by an uncaring, uninterested, wildly stupid outside entity that will inevitably run it ragged, make it produce garbage on impossible timelines, then strip the copper from the walls and shut it down when it doesn’t pay out fast enough is. Well. What more can I say
