remember when Star Citizen started crowd funding in 2012, over 10 years ago. yeah they’ve raised about 3 quaters of a billion dollars, and the game still is not done. fam, the people who sunk money into that grift are never getting to play that full game lmao. I honestly wonder how many have died in that decade never seeing a fraction of the game finished

yeah, it’s honestly really fun learning all the inside baseball stuff on the death industry. they rotate people around every so often because I imagine spending weeks on end around fresh (well… often times not so fresh) corpses burns through morale

oh it is such a cool idea. I told her she totally should do it. I just do worry what a family would think. like somebody comes to pick up your dead gran 87 years old, and they have a literal grim reaper hand taking them away

they do everything at her place from retrieval, embalming/ ‘freshing up’ what they can, and funerals. she does the whole shebang

honestly, some of the stuff is pretty fucking grim, people who don’t have their heart in it really aren’t gonna power through. like the money isn’t bad, the late night call outs like 10pm on a sunday night actually pay very well, but not ‘jesus fuck I did not want to ever see a human body in that condition’ tier of pay

kinda grim

one time she had to get a dude who died weeks before they got to him. he had rotted to the point of actually partially turning into dirt. and yeah they have to collect the dirt to be burried with the skeleton as it is human remains

she likes the morbid aesthetic, she actually wants a full on skeleton hand tatoo on her hand like some grim reaper shit. but mostly just doing a job that needs to be done and gets genuine heartfelt praise when done properly; it’s a job where you see people at some very low times, but the care you give in that gets reflected back 10 times very often. people been picking up dead bodies and sorting them out for thousands of years, and somebody is gonna have to do it in another thousand
