Now your body is primed for shingles, which was one of the most miserable experiences of my life. Painful blisters leading to permanent nerve damage.

Used to think that if you put in the work at your job, showing loyalty and dedication, that the company would take care of you. That’s how it worked for my parents…working for the same place starting as a college intern through retirement, or changing jobs when they felt like it when they wanted to move elsewhere.

It sounds naive now after years in the real world being taken advantage of, getting passed by, and getting laid off because of a company’s whims…but when I showed up in the job market with a degree and good grades from college it was quite a shock.

A coffee and a crossword puzzle is really all it takes to make a great morning these days.

Oh Republicans. “Investigate it”, really? It sounds like you just want to watch it again. You don’t have to call it an investigation.

It’s just a jump to the left!

My punk show / skater buddy went hard into religion, which led to apparent right-wing politics.

Nah, I don’t think I will.

I see that the $50 promo has since been cancelled…shocking that people aren’t going to get that money. Truly shocking.

Doesn’t specify which way you have to be facing while seated.

What a sad, weak, pathetic excuse for a man. Time to accept the L, loser.

I wonder if deep-down he accepted it at one point, but has since forgotten due to the senility.

Disgusting

Is anyone else just not feeling the Olympics this year?

I’m not a sports person and don’t have a whole lot of national pride on a good day, but I’ve liked watching the Olympics since I was a kid.

I enjoy seeing people from all over the world with such outstanding abilities, experiencing the aesthetics of people from different places, and rooting for the underdogs.

This year, I’m just embarrassed of America. I hate seeing the rise of right wing ideology worldwide. I miss and worry about my former co-workers in Ukraine. There’s constant pain, suffering, and death in Palestine and the middle east.

I don’t know…it should be a bit of an escape, but the whole thing is bumming me out this year.

Ousted off a bridge into the Mississippi River?

Meet me on the playground after school lil’ Stevie. After I pummel your Nosferatu-looking face, I’ll rightfully be the proud new owner of all of the possessions that were once yours.

I don’t think you’re what anyone is looking for. Might as well get used to being alone.

Washington Generals

I see this argument that he’s waiting for some excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act or impose martial law, but he’s already lawless…he doesn’t need an excuse as he’ll just do it anyway. Just like kidnapping the head of state in a foreign country, blatantly flaunting his corruption at every turn, targeting states that don’t bow to his whims. Even when those actions end up in court, they keep on doing their bullshit regardless (ignoring that he’s already bought the supreme Court anyways).

I think we’re well past impeachment as a punishment.

Caring for what?

Seriously. The anime and furry communities are nuts. I have blocked so many of them, and the people posting in them but it seems like every day there’s a new batch to filter out. Is there really a need for so many communities dedicated to that?
