Grind culture is a scam. There is no work worth destroying yourself.

Leaving San Diego there are checkpoints on all the major freeways and several surface roads, for reference. Nobody is to blame for not knowing this, border coverage in this country has been shite for a long time:

When I was a teenager my entire friend group were HUGE fans of Donnie Darko, but had only discovered it on cheap Target DVD. I recently had the chance to see it on a proper cinema screen/sound system and the difference was way more than I ever expected even for a movie without epic scenes.

That's just pathetic and I'm not even a huge film person 😭
