I have a certain group of friends trying really hard to convince me to waste my vote writing in bernie.

I just don't understand.  Nobody likes Clinton, but how is keeping Trump away from political power not the #1 goal of this election???

I like Clinton.  She wasn't my first choice, but that's all over now and your choices are:

1.  Vote for Clinton.
2.  Vote for Trump.
3.  Half a vote for Trump by voting for some 3rd party loon or by writing in the candidate that is screaming "IT'S OVER!"

Mostly so I can check my emails on the move.

Also, if I do end up leaving this place, I'll likely not be carrying around my laptop so much.  It works for me here, because of the whole living where I work deal, but chances are whatever job I end up getting next, that won't be the arrangement.  The new laptop is kinda heavy...

I've read more books on my phone in the past year than I have read physical books in at least the past 10 years combined.

But everyone jokes about how tiny I keep the font on my work computers*, so your mileage may vary.


*Joke's on them because I can easily read everything on their screen when I walk by, but when people try to shoulder surf me they just squint while I casually close inappropriate tabs like a goddamn champion.

People have gotten pretty mad at me for posting my opinion on that. I find them horrifying, in a DEAR GOD IS THAT GRANDMA WHY IS SHE COVERED IN LEECHES HOW ARE THERE SO MANY LEECHES kind of way, and they find me rude.

In the 24 hours since I said Clinton haters on facebook sounding like they wanted to wear her as a skin suit, I have seen 0 Clinton hating posts.

I'm calling that a victory.

One thing I have been having a hard time wrapping my mind around is how they feel like it's fine for them to post on Facebook about how evil and horrible she is, and how they just can't in good conscience vote for her... and it IS fine for them to post that shit, it's their wall, their opinions, they can go to town on a turd pony if they want to, it's none of my damn business - but if someone posts something on their own wall about how horrified they are at the ramifications of NOT voting for Clinton, they jump onto that person's post as if they are being VICIOUSLY, CRUELLY ATTACKED, CONDESCENDED TO, GUILT TRIPPED, and PERSONALLY MALIGNED. C'mon, man. If that reactivity isn't driven by cognitive dissonance, I don't know what is.

In fact, I think I'm going to post that on my wall and see how many people I can piss off today. BRB.

This. This story. This person belongs on here. They know things. THEY KNOW. http://thebibliosphere.tumblr.com/post/145440454846/ridiculously-easy
QuoteRidiculously Easy.

"Ridiculously easy buttermilk biscuits!" You click the link. It's a novella about finding inner peace in suburbia. You never knew you were disturbed till now.

"Ridiculously easy green beans!" You click the link, there are twelve ingredients. None of them are green beans.

"Ridiculously easy salted pistachio caramel latte coffee cake in three easy steps!" You click the link. There are twelve steps.

"Ridiculously easy marshmallow fondant!" You click the link. It's another novella about suburbia, this time about the dangers of feeding chemicals to your children. You wonder when you acquired these children and worry about their eyes. They are too bright, too happy, too shining...

"Ridiculously easy evaporated milk custard!*" *Must own own cow.

"Ridiculously easy shortcake in 12 steps!" You click the link. There are no steps.

"Ridiculously easy, easy to make, easy in three minutes, easy!" It doesn't tell you what you're making but you're pretty certain it shouldn't be hissing.

"Ridiculously easy," the article reads, "easy, it's so easy, easy" you hear laughing. Your face hurts why does your face hurt?

"It's so easy," you tell you friends, your smile is not your own. You can feel your teeth growing, "so easy, you'll hardly feel a thing!"

Someone should send her a link to Alty's sweet potato recipe.
