Wow, this knitting project makes me never want to knit again. Time to dump it.

FUN LIFE FACTS FROM AN OLD

you don't owe any fucker an intelligent debate or justifications for how you feel about shit. you are under no requirement to thoughtfully engage with anyone you don't want to.

just tell 'em "cool story bro" and walk away, they'll explode when you don't listen to their baby cries

my political evolution:

teen: I guess libertarian, I'm cool with the gays but i'm fiscally responsible!!!one
early 20's: oh yeah democrat and stuff man bush sucks
late 20's: the system doesn't serve humanity, social democrat seems good
now: EAT THE LIZARDS WHO RUN THE CAPITALIST SCAM

Reasons I like Masto: I don't have to see other conversations people I follow are having if I don't want to.

The amount of MRA or TERF nonsense I see on FB solely because of mutual friends is depressing.

Well, it took a while, but I finally found motivation to start working out again: I want to be better at punching Nazis.

I hate people who don't have compassion or empathy for others.

I've noticed there's a certain type of person who only helps close friends and family, often displaying misanthropy toward the world at large and assumes the worst of anyone not meeting their arbitrary standards, that I frankly hate with every fiber of my being.

It makes me incredibly upset when I meet these people.

me: yeah so that's the story of how former-friend Greg ruined a bunch of games for me by being an asshole and making me hate myself, before blaming me for not "accepting" him
friend: oh well that sucks but it's fine that can't happen so you should come play with Greg again
me: did you not hear anything I just said

sometimes I really wonder if anyone actually listens to the words I am saying.

I think ultimately I'd like my style to be "soft cybergoth grandma" but figuring out how that looks in an outfit has been tough.

There was another school shooting today, the day of planned protests by students protesting against school shootings.

Tried to go to Sea World today, and after a 20 minute line to park, then an expected 45-minute wait to get in, we said fuck it and got poke bowls instead. Good date day.

Don't wanna talk about capitalist shit anymore, have my adorable cat who refuses to move even when I stack books on her.

I served for 4 years at the intersection of Financial Services and Marketing, in a position that touched every aspect of every service we provided. My job was examining systems and making them work better, with a side dish of concierge service for the biggest (and thus richest) clients.

It's no wonder I went full anarcho-socialist. The stories I could tell of how stupid, greedy, and misanthropic those people were. So many people explicitly stating their goal is to bilk money out of people.

I am frankly not all here for #dnd game prep today. I'm managing to work on some minor stuff, but can't focus long enough to write plot. Fortunately I do a ton in advance, so this session was already done minus consequences for player actions.

Hopefully I can run everything smoothly tonight with my brain going every direction.
