I have a theory about how many of the world's problems are caused by people who were told they were the smartest people alive as kids, believed it, and then when they became adults and couldn't accept that maybe they weren't that special, started breaking shit if only to prove they were special

Whatever you do, don't smoke an entire brisket at a job interview, it's a lot of equipment to bring in, it takes a really long time to do it right and those conference rooms have notoriously poor ventilation

Today, I went to the grocery store and purchased $20 worth of vegetables. I now have a $20 trade deficit with the grocery store. They clearly ripped me off. I will now cut off all trade with the grocery store and let my family starve in order to Make My Household Great Again.
