I am really trying to ground myself rn because I have 5000 things going on besides this sudden news, and fairly recent news, so thank you
Like I know the difference between a rational thought and an irrational thought but those are the ones that are really winning right now
I'm literally losing my fucking mind rn
I lived like two blocks from the movie theater shooting in Aurora, CO
I have a lot of gay friends down in the springs
I have had like 4 different shootings happen within visual view of my apartment in different places
I work remotely for a company out of Minneapolis and the mall of america got shot up tonight
Does this shit fucking follow me around or am I just American
Counterpoint: I work in public accounting
Kinda double dipping here off the last megathread but I'm quitting being a fucking accountant after 8 years because it is just completely incompatible with my mindset
I am once again asking for your financial support ideas for living wage jobs that a broken down old guy can do
I'm really thinking sales which sounds absolutely fucking insane based on what I've said here but I think there is room for someone with some empathy and understanding to find the right product that actually helps people. Also I have some successful experience in organizing so I think there is something there but that's a tough fucking job
some reference here: I make $57,000 a year working 60 hour weeks so I haven't exactly set the world on fire as an accountant but pretty much anything close to that is what I'm looking for
Does anyone know how to get free tickets to a shen yun performance
I wanna take mushrooms and go to shen yun but I don't want them to get any money for it
This feels like a good place to say I used to have an 80s Raleigh with tube shifters that didn't click, they were just infinitely moveable levers
I got a little better at it but that was kinda dangerous tbh. Fun though
I've pretty much decided I'm going to change careers and probably Tuesday is gonna be the day where I propose a "mutually beneficial, managed transition"
I'm really struggling right now with whether I should work over the weekend. I think the answer is yes because I would really like to get a couple more paychecks and I think that would go a long way to that effort. And I really like these people and I'm trying not to be a dick but after 8 years you just have to decide something is not for you
Kind of just having a moment rn tbh, I feel like I took the biggest and greatest dump of my life coming to this decision because I'm absolutely fucking miserable but it's still scary
Remember those little kids bead things that you could fill with water and they could expand, idk what the fun even is in that. But it turned out they were filled with a prodrug of GHB, that was a good time.
I can vibe pretty well with anything down to about 20 freedom units if the humidity isn't high, but below that gets fucking miserable. Fuck this.
People called it when that story first came out, that's the only thing it could really be, but this is a really great excuse to quit salads. Datura is already from the depths of hell but my god, you have a light lunch and next thing you know you're fighting off the spiders
don't do that
I got no room to talk though, early morning office shit has taken me from "I literally do not use caffeine in my life" to 600mg by about noon and boy do I feel like a drug addled zombie most days
It sure is a weird spot to be in, to believe that MMT is valid and the federal reserve is fucking terrible at their job
To keep it short - the only way that MMT works out in the end is if the money is actually used for major investments, that combined with a more robust tax policy, brings more money in to the government. We don't do aaaaany of that shit. The fed is kind of on a quasi-MMT but they're just throwing the money into a giant black hole
I am so so so divided on whether Stop Making Sense or The Last Waltz is the greatest concert film of all time. Very different material but they are both... I really don't know how you could put one above them.
I guess I'll give an honorable mention to the Fania All Stars - Live in Africa but it's really not in the competition, it's like 40 minutes and has a couple stinkers on there
Fuck yes we're talking heads posting
If you like Talking Heads 77 and the very CBGB punk vibe, you absolutely must check out the compilation "The Name Of This Band Is Talking Heads". It goes so fucking hard. I love 80s music, I love Stop Making Sense, but when I am in a mood there is absolutely nothing like A Clean Break - Let's Work
I feel like even imitating where this goes vocally is spoiling it
Are you a bear?
I feel like kind of an asshole for replying to such a wholesome post with this, but please recall that the "new years resolution" reason to "turn your life around" is the most likely one to be broken. This can be seen in gym signups and then actual usage literally every year.
You need something a little more than a date on a calendar to make major changes - like a real desire, a support system - to actually see it through.

This dude seems to have some kind of physical disability from the very little we know about him and is basically a shut in but at the very least, uh, compiles a lot of interesting stuff. Owns like 100,000 domains for shit like amphetamines.org, pretty much any kind of drug domain name you can think of. And almost all of them are stuffed full of scientific papers and philosophical writings.
I say all this to say I knew about selegeline like 20 years ago lmao
Crying in the club rn to Paul Simon's "Kodachrome" and thinking about how I used to be a starving artist and now I'm not so starving and more miserable than ever
Fuck, I just want those days back
How did life ever get so complicated
