What's New....?

I watched that entire trial start to finish and neither of the two people involved was particularly angelic, if you ask me.

Yeah, Iā€™m not a fan of Depp nor Heard. We should probably not talk about it lest we start a flame war, so letā€™s move on more fun topics like my sleeping schedule.

Iā€™ve been staying up until 6am and sleeping until 2pm. I skip lunch, usually have dinner outside. Itā€™s probably not healthy nor fiscally responsible, maybe I should try Melatonin.

Melatonin works really well. I usually go to bed around 9:30 every night and Iā€™m up at about 4:30 in the morning. The only problem with that schedule is that the birds and dogs have learned that 4:30 is a good time to start being very loud so weekends arenā€™t very good for sleeping in.

Melatonin is neat indeed. Unless Iā€™m super tired, itā€™s usually the only thing that gets me past my gfā€™s snoring successfully.

If this trailer had been produced with a different title-card and a different codename for the assassin, Iā€™d be all over this series like a chloroform rag on an unsuspecting nose.

As it is they called it The Day Of The Jackal, and as I donā€™t see any indication that this is a period piece about the OAS trying to kill de Gaulle in 1963, regrettably I am going to have to burn the entire world to the ground to suitably avenge this unforgiveable outrage. Fuck this in the ear, so very much.

Iā€™m 19 now. Didnā€™t have a proper party due to being far away in university, and for some reason my birthday was on October 31st not November 1st this year. Thought the Persian calendar was aligned with Gregorian.

Met an old middle school friend of mine at the mall, she dragged me to this sketchy megachurch. Everybody was speaking in tongues at one point, it was creepy. At least the music and the redneck pastorā€™s speech were nice.

I spent 20+ hours writing a Silverballer encyclopedia. I didnā€™t write for 20 consecutive hours but I did do it in a spawn of 4 days.

Know your Silverballer. Know itā€™s origins

Thank you, here is my cat Sushi with a Batman mask.

Was supposed to have driving test todayā€™s morning, but literally minutes before, when instructor was waiting for me to go to test centre she got a message of test cancellation which she passed on to me. After a chat with her and coming back home saw this message in the mailbox.
Itā€™s just unspeakable how they can fuck up things that easy and with no conseqences for them.
But if I mess something up, I must pay penalty, lose fee, whatever.
I mean why the fuck they canā€™t give another examiner and still conduct the test if the designated one couldnā€™t for whatever reason, which was the reason of cancellation.
Complete shit and unexplainable bullshit

Thatā€™s so annoying, especially if youā€™ve hyped yourself up and are all ready. When I did my bus license they cancelled while I was waiting in the vehicle because of some light snow.

As someone who works in a diver license office, if that had happened at mine, unless we were so unbelievably swamped that we simply had no more room for any other tests at all, weā€™d have been instructed by the supervisor to proceed, unless you were missing some crucial information. Very poor performance by that DL office there.

Raider: So, what do you like to do for fun?

B2 Droid: I ENTER LOW POWER MODE FOR 18 HOURS.

Raider: Huh, I guess weā€™re not so different after all.

All right folks, here we go. On my way home from work, bottle of champagne at the ready. Itā€™s going to be a long night and Iā€™m going to start drinking before final results. Iā€™m confident and Iā€™m hopeful. Onward! Weā€™re not going back!

all Iā€™ll say is, this election was a weird one.

assassination attempts, biden dropping out, Harris running, and a library of celebrity endorsements that just emphasizes how disconnected celebrities are from the common people.

i didnt like either candidates, educated myself on both sides, and made an informed decision while attributing my own wants and hopes for this country before voting.

the last few days alone Iā€™ve noticed how aggressive the Democratic Party was trying to convince people for votes with volunteers going door to door convincing people why you should vote for their candidate to where it felt it wasnā€™t out of optimism and hope, but rather desperation.

iā€™ve also noticed the republican rallies and the disparaging rhetoric that came out of it that made me borderline go yikes because of how much of a shit show these past few days have been.

I voted, and so Iā€™ll end this by saying see you in four years.

As we now must apparently prepare to enter what is likely to be the darkest period America has experienced since the end of the civil war, and what is likely to be the darkest era the world as a whole has entered since the end of the Second World War, I want to say here and now, as a broken man whose trust in all things is likely now gone, I want to say, to all the women here at the forum, the people of color, the people who are not Christian, the trans-people, the non-heterosexual people, the people with chronic illnesses, the autistic people, and those of any other group whom society makes life difficult for: I am sorry.

I am sorry, that a bunch of hateful, uneducated, fearful, insecure, tiny-dicked, gullible, racist, sexist, homophobic, false Christian straight white males and their brainwashed and traitorous counterparts from each of those groups going against their own interests, have brought us to this. Iā€™m am sorry that a bunch of people from my demographic, people who look like me and would feel comfortable disenfranchising you in my presence and talking to me about it because they felt it was ok to do so simply because I look like them, have just made life so much harder again.

And Iā€™m not just concerned about any 4 years; all indications are, with control of all branches of government and the shift to extremist right-wing nationalism, that any elections that are held will be complete shams with all the meaning as Russia and China and Israelā€™s elections.

Iā€™m sorry that itā€™s come to this. Nightmare has become reality, as a criminal with nothing but ill-intent has been put in chargeā€¦ again.

I am so sorry. :disappointed:

Also, as someone who has always been upfront about my history, whether online and in real life, having admitted that I used to be one of those very same racist, fascistic people at a early point in my my life before growing up and leaving those worldviews behind after everything was telling me how wrong that was, Iā€™m sort of feeling like Scott Evil at the end of Austin Powers in Goldmember, but in reverse.

Me, speaking to America in general: ā€œOh, come on! Iā€™m mean, first Iā€™m not good enough for you, and now youā€™re gonna turn evil? I hate you. I hate you! I hate you (pointing at all the white men). I donā€™t even know you, but I hate you too (pointing at all the marginalized groups who voted against their interests). And I especially hate you! (pointing at MAGA).ā€
