Chocolate-Covered Almonds in Boredoms

I bought 2/3 a pound of em today. Pick-A-Mix…but I had to be boring and not get a mix of anything. I just wanted the almonds.
When I got home today some high-level douche parked his car in such a way as to render the space next to him challenging to park in. I thought very hard about parking beside him and slamming my car door into his on my way out but I chickened out. Fortunately, one of the other people in my building did it…several times. He’s my hero for the day.
I don’t like the phrase “don’t hate the player, hate the game”. What sense does that make? The game only exist because people play it. That’s like saying “Don’t hate the murderer, hate the murder”. It’s not the guy who kills someone who deserves hate, it’s the concept of murder you need to blame. It’s a convenient phrase for shrugging off douchebaggery, that’s all.

I always viewed this phrase as a broader view on, "It takes two to tango."
When the game is being played, who's playing it? A man and a woman. Players wouldn't exist if game didn't work on a significant number of women, so if you're gonna hate something, you can't just hate the player. You also have to hate the fact that there's basically a market for players.

I think my objection still works. Doesn't matter who or how many people are playing, the game only persists because people are playing it...on both sides. You still have to opt to play the game, that's all I'm saying.

Yeah, fuck the game! It's stupid and so are the people who fucking play it.
