Quote from: chaotic neutral observer on November 06, 2024, 01:29:25 PMI'm not surprised, but I am horrified.

I have been mentally preparing myself for this for months.

I feel bad for Ukraine, though.

Poland standing on high alert that they will be invaded for the last three months are now treating it as an inevitability, war in Europe is what trump wants: not because he is in bed with Putin, but because a weak EU is good for the US in his mind

I have never understood the idea that it is somehow good for your trade partners to be weak.

chaotic neutral observer

I have a confession to make.

I may play chaotic neutral on the internet, but that's just an act, or, at best, an ideal.
My natural disposition is lawful evil.

i would say that bad things happening to this country is as reliable as the seasons, but with climate change doing what it do....

My mom's conservatorship hearing was this week. They appointed a Guardian ad litum, and I managed to navigate the attendant family drama smelling like roses. Calling it a win.

I'd like to once again thank all the sanctimonious prog pricks that couldn't find it in themselves to vote against Trump, and I want bad things to happen to them.

so turns out I'm still unemployed, and i'm an asshole for even implying that my family could help me out, given that i'm the primary caretaker for my mom and ive had to sell my car just to keep the household running while everyone else fails to rise to the occasion. Such a fucking prick, me. :roll:

Wow. 5 years.

Quote from: Nephew Twiddleton on January 15, 2020, 07:35:59 AM-Quit my shitty second job
-I should be wrapping up my data collection for my master's this month

I was awarded my master's in October 2023. I have zero interest in going for a PhD anymore. I still teach micro and med micro labs at the university I graduated from. I attempted to get a job outside of academia (both private and government), but none of that panned out and I decided to wait until after the election to try again. So, now that the election is happened and the fucker won, I'll probably be stuck in academia. That's fine. Job security is nothing to slag off

Quote from: Nephew Twiddleton on January 15, 2020, 07:35:59 AM-I'm dragging on that because I've had a near continuous headache/neckache on the left side of my head for the past two weeks and have spent most of it on the couch. I went into the lab a couple of times, but since movement exacerbates everything, I'm real reluctant to take bumpy public transportation for 90 minutes each way. Doctor was unconcerned and I'm not dead yet so it's probably ok outside of the near continuous at best discomfort

Turned out to be trigeminal neuralgia which I still suffer flare ups from, but is largely managed at this point through a combination of magnesium supplements, regular cannabis consumption (which I barely touched since turning 21), and trying to correct my bad posture habits

-I currently have a certain optimism that I'm suspicious of

Lol, January 2020. Though, it was not long after that that I had a spiritual reawakening and I seem to be benefiting from psychologically

Quote from: Nephew Twiddleton on January 15, 2020, 07:35:59 AM-People sometimes ask me how married life is. It's exactly the same as cohabitating life except now I wear a ring. I suppose that's what happens when you wait 8 years to propose

Still married, things are great. We're both firmly middle aged at this point, but the spark is still there
