RhaenysBee Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Do y’all feel like the whole world is hitting rock bottom all at the same time? Both as a collection of individuals and as an institution? It certainly feels like that to me. Or because I am, maybe I see everything through those lenses? We should all have zoom apocalypse party and get drunk.

I genuinely don't get why people feel optimistic about the future, especially when the likelihood of conflict across the globe seems increasingly inevitable as we fight over scarce resources while untold millions get displaced from the collapse of our climate.

So, obviously I should never be a parent, but if I was I wouldn't be worried about that being too early. Then again, this was meant to be reassuring by saying I turned out fine, but, well.... Anyway, I'm totally down for Zoompocalypse! The time zones might get tricky, but whatever works for everybody else, I'm happy to get fucked up at any time.

I started around 14, and I have a veritable cornucopia of poor choices and subsequent consequences to pour out the unwilling ears of my daughters.

dog-days Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Couldn't sleep, still can't, and went for an insomniac twenty-minute walk downhill as far as the student pub zone. Everywhere was closed, and the last few patrons, two young men and a woman, were about to head home. Said one of the boys to the other in a ringing voice that carried easily over thirty metres: "I just wanted to take all the chairs away and tell her to sit on my face. Fucking hell, man, she was so hot." If I'm ever dumb enough to buy a flat in an area with nightlife, I hope it has triple glazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot to touch on and you'll get all kinds of different perspectives. Funny how 14 seems to be the common age. I first smoked and got drunk as a freshman and was a regular user by my junior year, maybe earlier depending on how you want to define that. Just like my dad too. Probably best to be honest and preach the importance of moderation and judgement while impaired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot to touch on and you'll get all kinds of different perspectives. Probably. The differences between our daughters are pretty stark. They both have a promising empathy, so something there. Their individual gifts. I love them both fiercely. And their friendship has suffered lately. L [my eldest] is pretty chill. She's artistic, better than I was at her age. She's learned discipline with school. She just wants to get out there. Got accepted as a volunteer, looking for a part time job. One scare with her but it appears dealt with. T [my youngest] has a bit of resentment that L and I have other things to relate to because we're much alike. That T is also frustrated we don't like the things she likes is almost another thing. She also resents being youngest, and [whew] and, when her blood is up she's the tip of a knife I swear. Comes at us like a lawyer that's going to push it lol She's sharp and if she finds out will also make me eat crow, weaponizing that in a minute, and I'll eat it because in a sense she's not wrong. We did go light on L. But L's situation is a letting go with guidance thing too. T is armed in many ways but that complication won't be made square until she's a little older. So clearly this secret must be kept, as long as possible. T will have her turn at experimenting and this would be a good chit for that. Best case scenario.

Gigei Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Went to the dentist for routine tooth cleaning this morning and found out I needed to get a filling replaced. When I got home, the new filling chipped off when I ate lunch. So I have to go back tomorrow. Edit: Went back and got it fixed. Then when I got home it chipped again. I'm tired of this.

RhaenysBee Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 The weather has been quite pleasabt this week, and I was able to keep the flat at a fair 24C temperature, so I made a cherry pie. It came out beautiful and sparked some semblance of joy in me. of course making a pie now costs 6000ish plummeting Eastern European money, which is just a tad too much for a spark of near joy. Well I suppose it is time to see if I can prepare a decent bread pudding, water pie or depression cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week I tried to withdraw money from an ATM. But the ATM did not spit out any money. The damn thing glitched. So of course I called the bank and disputed the transaction, since my checking account had been charged. It’ll be super irritating if I don’t get my $140 back. If we let the machines get away with robbing us, next thing you know they’ll be murdering us. Ugh. Still no resolution. The money was not withdrawn. The ATM glitched. Give me my cash.

KingintheNorth4 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Today is a very special day. I look forward to this day every year. To me, this is a day of love and celebration and life itself. I daresay that this is the best day of the year. Happy National Ice Cream Day, my friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
