For realsies though, when and how should I move on from idle chit chat? I dunno what I'm doing with actual dating stuff where I can't go to dick pics withing a few messages haha

Don't overthink this. Let it progress from idle chitchat naturally.

The normal progression is small talk to friendship (hanging out initiated by both of you), to lots of hanging out, to sharing a magical moment followed by copious amounts of making out.

(Or something like that)

So enjoy the chitchat and if this girl is worth a damn ask her to go somewhere with you. If that goes well ask her to go with you somewhere again. If that goes well let her ask you to go somewhere. If that goes well, kiss her.

I've been enjoying talking with you a lot :)

Any interest in taking it out to a bar some time this week? I'm free Thursday and Friday.

Lol nobody in the house irons their clothes and I don't fold anything either.

That said, I currently have two hampers full of laundry that need done and I keep putting off. How soon can you get here?

I've been monkeying with Snapseeds face feature. It's supposed to brighten and soften just the face and bring out the eyes programmatically.

It's my new fav photo editing app.

Well, it's more "both sides are the same" than Trump/Hillary ever was. Afterall, I don't see Hillary cheerleading for Russia.

For reference

The both sides are the same argument is based around the fact that both Democrats and Republicans will both be more concerned with protecting those who are already well off and businesses as it will benefit them, over actually creating and decent protections for the poor.

I mean, obviously Clinton and Trump aren't the same. Trump is clearly crazy and Clinton clearly isn't. But the fact that she's been getting the support of promiment Republicans? The fact she is cool with Kissinger? The fact she's already reneged on $15 minimum wage? That should be cause for some introspection and the very least.

It's pretty much two different shades of neoliberalism. One's just a bit nicer, and isn't totally fucked on social issues.

It is midnight here and I am very tired this might be nonsense

I took lunch at 11am and I'm just now eating. I ordered a 6'' chicken tender sub from publix and I can't even finish it.

I think my stomach is shrinking

I may change my political affliation to democratic socialist after this election

Put me to sleep if I ever vote republican ever

There are a variety of issues that I agree with Bernie and I genuinely wish he would've won.

As a disabled voter, it is genuinely infuriating to see both parties treat Social Security as some kind of slush fund and not some kind of thing that saves people.

In the future, I would hope that SS would be increased and be given to every one and not just those who are disabled.

I've slept until about 1pm two days in a row now and I think I like it. It's fun being perkier as nighttime comes around, and there's nothing terribly interesting going on in the AM.

I'm wearing jeans, a t shirt and a hoodie - all of which I ironed.



Hmm.

I mean, when I wear a t-shirt to work (and I have dozens of these) I'm not trying to look good in it, so why waste time straightening it? Plus wrinkles are really only a problem in 100% cotton which I try to avoid anyway.

Same. As far as I can help it, I don't get up before eleven anymore. It works out because on weekdays Lucy's at work and on weekends she likes sleeping in too.

Hahaha, well I'm up early and I like my clothes as unwrinkled as possible without getting too caught up about it.

I do the washing once a week, vacuum the house once a week etc.. Once you have a decent routine going it means there's never much to take care of.

All I'll say is your post reeks of far left idealistic nonsense. America is not a country where our head of state (the president) can enact broad and sweeping change unilaterally. The president can advocate policy, but it's up to Congress to actually pass it. There's a very distinct separation of powers here that I frankly feel many Europeans with a cursory at best knowledge of American government ignore. This isn't a system where one party can sweep an election and essentially push through whatever they want with nearly toothless opposition. Clinton's policies are realistic. She has to compromise to get anything done. That's the way it works. She could win the presidency and the Dems could take both houses of Congress, and you can bet give and take will still happen because the Dems and the GOP are coalition parties with numerous elements and competing views within them. This isn't even delving into the sixty votes a party needs in the Senate to break a filibuster.

Going to your specific points, the Republicans who are openly supporting her are by and large the more moderate wing of the party and ones who don't identify with the fringe right that have been allowed to hijack it. They're people who are following their consciences instead of falling in line and trying to elect a white nationalist as president. As for Kissinger, drag her. I'm not going to defend that. And the third, she never reneged on $15 minimum wage. She set it at $12 in her official plan and has maintained she supports state and local efforts to raise it even higher.

My sleep routine was kind of all over the place and I was sleeping in little fragments here and there, staying up really late/early with my GF, and at some point my body decided to hibernate and that's how the 1pm thing first happened.

Do you find that makes it difficult to go out to shops and restaurants, or do you just take care of that earlier in your day?

Nah, there's not usually a need to go anywhere in the AM. I don't go a lot of places on my own but if anyone wants to do something it'd usually be in the evening.

A lot of what I do is with my gf, whose schedule is erratjc . I basically have no schedule, though, so I'll adapt ad needed.

I'm too tired to respond in full, so I'll just say this:

I'm fully aware that the president doesn't have full power to change everything. That would be ridiculous. And I realise that there has to be compromise. I'm just very familiar with how liberals make noises about helping the poor and will do some useful things, e.g. the ACA or the introduction of the minimum wage, but it's never anywhere close to enough. There are still over 45 million people living in poverty in America. Meanwhile they're fine going and bombing middle eastern countries in an attempt to clear up the mess made by...bombing middle eastern countries. Which is expensive as fuck by the way.

And sure, this might be "far-left nonsense", but I'd rather fight for a better world for everyone and lose most of the battles than try to defend someone who almost definitely doesn't give a fuck about you outside of the fact you'll vote for them.

And late night dinner plans? Or do you eat in all the time, or not eat late?

By the way I was totally nonconfrontational today and it worked out to everyone's benefit. That double booking thing I mentioned this morning, I just waited and waited and then eventually one of the people I was meeting this evening had to work late so she pushed us back a couple hours. So now I get to do both and nobody will ever know I almost had to bail on one of them :D

I don't know why I did that. Normally I'd be much more straightforward with people.
