Yeah, but Colin Kaepernick doesn't stand for the national anthem, so it's basically the same.
Is Middle-earth juxtaposed between Top-earth and Bottom-earth or Right-earth and Left-earth?
Please share my blog! I don't do it for money, just enjoyment. If something I do for fun can bring a smile to someone else's face, then I've done more than enough to feel purpose in this world. Thank you!
This story started as just a little mention of a 14 year old boy, Leo Pakizer in The Detroit Times in January 1908 . I was internally giggli...
This will be my last post for a bit here, because I don't want to feel as if I'm taking over this community or spamming. If you read any of my blog posts, please read this one. I had a fun time writing it and investigating the happenings surrounding it.
Get ready to replace "Chinamen" with "Modern racist colloquialism". It's wild that we are dealing with similar shit 150 years later.
This tiny article is a doozy. This one was educational, depressing, and somewhat comical at the same time. This cringe inducing blurb was f...
Ok, I won't be patronizing. I'll be fucking real.
You are going to die someday. None of this fucking shit matters. There has been shitty leaders and political hardships since we invented farming. You are not special. You are a speck of meat on a speck of dust in swirling mess of who knows what the fuck. You do not matter to me or most of the other 8 billion people on this planet. The moon, the sun, and the stars will still be in the sky tomorrow, whether you are here or not. Your opinions do not matter to any other human being on this planet. You are inconsequential and in a relatively short amount of years there will be no evidence to your measly existence at all. You want to be a pissy pants about politics online? Go ahead and do that if it makes you happy. But, it doesn't. It makes you afraid and angry and you're here sitting in your anger stew. If I want to tell someone online something positive through a character is space fantasy, I'm going to do it. To live is to suffer and the only thing that matters in life is making others feel good. That's it. Nothing else truly fucking matters. Nothing. Quit acting like a baby, get some exercise, eat the right shit, and be useful. Now get out there and make some fucking changes in the world.
Don't take this as me being rude. Take this as me freeing you from your mental tethers of exceptionalism.
I hate Trump and voted for Harris and I'm spiraling today. That being said, my stocks have gone up $1,700 today, so that's nice I guess. I don't have faith that the market will hold for long though.
Inkscape is fantastic. It's easier to learn than Ai and you don't have to pay for it.
Aight, fuck it. I'll just stay here and die or whatever.
If it gets bad, I'll go to Canada.
You will not convince anyone of anything who found their point-of-view from emotion and not logic.
Please continue talking to me if you need it. Maybe I need it too.
Luke Skywalker didn't blow up the Death Star with that attitude! You seem like you are a good person. Sometimes, the only peace we can find is in ourselves. Keep your head up, friend.
I understand where you are coming from. This totally fucking blows and I'm terrified for my children. The only constant in human life is that there is suffering. There is always suffering in life. Right now, there is nothing you can do about this situation. Understand that there is always and has always been suffering in life. That's not new. Speculation on the future only causes more suffering. The present moment is all you have. The want for what you deem as a better political situation (and you are probably right) is causing you suffering. Choose to not suffer.
Breathe deeply for 5 minutes straight and relish in what is good in your life. Let the loved ones around know how important they are to you. Do something that you truly enjoy. Take care of yourself. No one else is going to do that for you. You are not the first human being to feel what you are feeling and you will not be the last. Whether or not you are "ok" is up to you.
The only way out is within.
I understand you are scared right now, and there's probably no talking you off that ledge. Seek the goods things in your life right now. Surround yourself with the ones you love. It's hard to process, but breathe. I promise you'll be ok.
I've been working at a soul-sucking job that I have to drive 2 hours a day and I don't like for 1.5 years. I do alright. I was a teacher and I want to get back into teaching because it's more purposeful and fulfilling.
My wife found out about a year ago that her father was in fact not her biological father. A few months later he died. This caused her trauma. My wife is a teacher as well, and she said she wanted to take a year off and go to therapy. I was not a fan of the idea, because we need 2 incomes to feed our 2 kids and fund her spending habits, but I agreed as long as we cut our spending and she focused on getting better. We inherited some money from her father and moved into his house and sold our old one for some money as well. I'm talking to a fiduciary to invest this money so it doesn't get spent and we have money for the future.
Last week I was offered a teaching a position. I was frustrated by the fact that I had to decline it, because we cannot afford the pay cut. If I don't get back in to it this year, my certification will lapse and I will have a hard time renewing it. I was devastated and explained to her my frustrations. I told her that taking a year off is not the norm, and that she hasn't been working on herself, she's been spending more money, adding to her hoard, and avoiding any sort of physical or emotional hardship. I told her that I gave up something that I wanted (and she wanted for me) so she could continue not working.
Next month she is flying from the midwest to Vancouver to see Taylor Swift with my oldest daughter. I told her today that it frustrates me that she is going through with it. I understand that she had a tough time and that this is a cool thing for them, but I wanted her to understand that it frustrates me that she gets to do this while I'm cutting back on things and declining a job I wanted. I told her to CONSIDER flipping the tickets for a profit of a few grand. She responded that it feels like I'm trying to ruin her good time with guilt and that she really is working on herself, but it's all internal, so I can't see it.
I just feels unfair and if I pressure her not to go, I'm going to be made into the bad guy. I'm in between a shit and a turd place.

Democratic Vice President hopeful Tim Walz found himself in the middle of a barrage of criticism after it was revealed he allegedly inflated his score during a game of bag toss at a family barbeque in 1998.
I'm a guitarist/singer and I'm looking to record some acoustic stuff. I have a condenser mic, but I would need an audio interface. I'm not looking for a fancy setup, just bare bones really. Any recommendations for an open source audio workshop? What's my cheapest quality option for an audio interface?
Thanks!
