What are you guys up to this weekend? I'm going to the movies tonight and doing some interview prep in between long stretches of nothing. Also gonna abstain from drinking after really overdoing it Tuesday night.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Eat honemade baked sweets and watch Humphrey Bogart films.

You're the only healthy one around here ❤️
Taking my dog to update his shots.
Then buying a new car.
Maybe watch Arrival in the evening and I'm pretty sure there is a trump protest going on tomorrow that I want to be at.
I also need to start working on two research papers 😫

Forgive my naivety but what is the trump protest supposed to achieve? Is there a legit process for cancelling his election? Or is it supposed to help motivate his cabinet to better align with progressive interests? I'm not trying to be defeatist, but it seems like a waste of energy that could be better mobilized in other efforts.
People want to feel like they're doing *something*, I guess. But yeah, there is no practical purpose for it.
I think there is value in expressing dissent. At this early stage there are too many unknowns to take the pragmatic steps to stop anything.
I feel compelled to stand in solidarity with others that are dissatisfied.
It's also fun to meet strangers that you align with ❤️

People are venting anger about him winning, it's not meant to accomplish anything. It's also a very ugly visual for the people that were in charge for this election that they fucked up, and they fucked up bad.

In theory since the electoral college doesn't vote until Jan, they could convince them not to vote Trump in.

See, that's the thing. I don't think the American government is afraid of its people at all. At all. As long as they keep their pockets full they don't give a shit what the people do. We have enough police and military to stifle any protests and riots that get out of hand. Occupy Wall Street got nothing done. Black Lives Matter is not making as much of a difference as it should.
I think the government is beholden to corporations and corporations can be beholden to their customers. I don't think the government is directly beholden to its people anymore.
Maybe I'm wrong. Honestly I don't pay enough attention to this stuff. I'm happy to be corrected!

Sorry trab. The mob has spoken.
No, you're probably right. Unfortunately.
In theory if our cities burned every night for months on end it would make a difference legislatively. I don't think that'll happen but if you ride the logic out to its conclusion protest doesn't have to mean nothing.
Occupy Wall Street was a bunch of hippies hanging out and having a good time. You don't get things done by having a good time. There's nothing comfortable about protest and unrest. These people were banging in tents. It was rudderless.
Generally speaking, I agree that the protests we're likely to see are unlikely to have any direct impact on anything.. But I think an expression of peoples' discontent is significant and I'm glad its there for posterity. People pelted Bush's limo with eggs during his inauguration in 2000. I'm glad that happened.

Oh well, this is just great. Now the folks are attacking Chelsea Clinton over the probability of her running for a Congressional seat.

Dude just uninstall stuff you're done with
(I'm the same with clothes. I've often bought new ones or brought stuff home from work to avoid doing laundry)
Didn't change anything though
This is not how hording works! I keep on telling me that I will eventually return to unfinished games like Alien: Isolation in which case I don't even remember why I stopped playing it in the first place ¯\_(ツ

What's keeping you from going back? Newer games or non-gaming stuff that you do instead?This is not how hording works! I keep on telling me that I will eventually return to unfinished games like Alien: Isolation in which case I don't even remember why I stopped playing it in the first place ¯_(ツ
#GamingPriveledge #I'mAshamedOfMyBacklog
Newer games and old games that are like evergreens for me (e.g. Elder Scrolls series). I think I need to be more disciplined concerning this matter, most games I set aside are not bad games at all so they still deserve my attention.
I will probably drop Diablo 3 from the system. Wanted to do a coop run with my little sis but we kinda forgot about it :/

I've never had a problem with backlogging because since I was younger, it was always a matter of buying 1-3 games per year and finishing them before starting new ones. Granted, this was when the term 'AAA gaming' wasn't meant to be derogatory.
Plus, I'm super picky.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
My backlog right now:
Doom 3 BFG
FFX HD
Dishonored (the first one)
World of FF
Paper Mario: Color Splash
Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
Devil May Cry HD Collection
That's only the games I'm most interested in completing. Then I also end up being stupid and subbing to MMOs or replaying games I've beaten already (currently on a third or fourth run of Mega Man ZX, for example)

Doctor Strange is a very giffable movie. It was also absolutely ridiculous.
I also can no longer tell the difference between satire and reality.

She probably just wants to help. Mom-mode is overbearingly strong at times (sometimes at the worst times) but it's rarely without good intentions.
