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.

Damn, glad it worked out! Doing two things with two sets of people sounds tiring to me though, like I would have cancelled on someone anyway.

And yes we do late night dinner from time to time! Sometimes., if she's working she doens't get here until 9pm or later. There's a couple of decent places around here to go late at night.

Also I wasn't sufficiently prepared and Deerclops just wrecked our whole base down to nothing
 
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.

But you make that better world by working within the confines of the system. Burning down a system and replacing it wholesale with something else rarely turns out well. Just look at all the examples in history.

And yes, I'm sick of America playing world police too. But it's a bit of a catch-22 at this stage. American interventionism is so goddamn entrenched worldwide at this point that it's pretty much necessary baggage that I just have to deal with.

Aw fuck. I've made it to the part of the Brahms 2nd Piano Concerto that always leaves me in tears. I was listening to this on the drive home from Pasco the other week and must have looked very amusing to the other drivers.

Never met one in person, but when taken to the extreme I think it's a sign of some form of mental illness.

My parents do it on a reasonable level. Got a cabinet of things in case of blizzard or something that might keep us in our house for a week plus.

My dad read a book about EMPs tho so he's pretty concerned about that.


You know if you think about it some of the more crazy people might be the most prepared for climate change

If you live in an area where there is a reasonable chance of natural disasters occurring, then it is common sense to maintain certain stocks and have a plan.

If you are conducting weekly drills where you grab your BOB, head to your compound in the desert and start practicing fire drills and shit because you just know the left is going to bring down America, well....

OK then, let's improve feudali--oh hang on :p

And while yes I would prefer a socialist society, I realise that isn't feasible for a long time. I'm happy to support Corbyn who's current platform is actually just fairly standard social democracy with some radical ideas thrown in here and there, because he is the first person to really stand up against the currently accepted right wing narrative. And what do we have now? Everyone's anti-austerity. The argument is no longer about who's going to make more cuts. That alone is huge. And that's why you need a strong left to actually stand up and argue for the downtrodden, loudly. Otherwise they'll start looking to people like Trump and Farage for answers.

...I forgot what my original point was. Oops.

Gratz on not having to choose between losing and losing harder.

And for the record I never said don't vote for Clinton. It's just the rabid defense of her as an amazing woman who's going to be wonderful for everyone got a bit grating.

Maybe she does more or less amount of coffee. Also getting the milk close to a boil or mixing the coffee with cold milk it makes a difference when making it with milk too. There are different factors breh. Also do I look kawaii in my new avi?

The people at the bottom of every 'socialist society' have it as bad if not worse than those in 'capitalist societies'.

Wanting for anything more than a 'fair' social democracy is naive and ignores both history and human nature.

I don't know what form of government it would take, but I want someone to take YOUR money (you, FUME5) and give it to me

Maybe she does more or less amount of coffee.

I guess that's the only possibile explanation, unless she's infusing it with magic

I happily pay my taxes and don't use any of the tax dodges available to me because I know that shit is needed to fund support services, health care etc..that I don't need (and am unlikely to need in the future given my current position) but many others in my society do.

Now, I'm all for tax reforms that target big business and force them to start paying their fair share of taxes, thus allowing for even better services for those that need it, hopefully resulting in an ideological shift in society now that those pressures are reduced somewhat so that our stance on refugees (and many other things) mellows.

But no, I will not be giving you money for nothing Jobbs, I will give you money in exchange for digital goods though.

It was!

That wasn't directed at you. Just the general tone political convos online generally take.

Arguing/discussing in general is about buzz words and getting the last word in. I feel like I lose when I try to consider the other persons perspective cause usually people wont bother to do it the other way :/
 
Just say the damn word jobbs

Utter it in any kind of voice or whatever

When Ghost Song goes for pre order, my $19.99 is all yours okay

Do-do you know how long I've thirsted for your game? GOD plz so thirsty, dying of thirst, would literally do anything within reason to know when your game comes out

Jobbs plz

P.S. Don't kill yourself trying to get your game done tho. Coherency and sanity is in short supply when you're running on 3 hours sleep

P.P.S Is it possible that that Ghost Song and Rainworld will be in the same in game universe

P.P.P.S I swear I'm not stalker lol
 
I seriously hate my life.


I found out today I probably won't be able to go back to school anytime soon, because I have to commit to a program and I can't guarantee a tour at this base for the duration of my studies. I just want a goal or something to fucking occupy my time and mind and the military is just stopping that at every turn. No one in my shop gives a fuck either, cause "you already have a degree why do you wanna go back".

I feel unwanted and lonely and my mom doesn't get it. It's always about her and I can't even tell her what I feel without it being shut down. People around me act like they care but I just can't bring myself to believe them, and I know it's fucked up on my end. Can't move off base still, so I'm stuck in the fucking dorms as a 24 year old college grad.

I'm not eating as much and I lie and tell my sarge that I am eating so that he'll leave me alone.
 
Don't like roommates, or don't like leeches? I've got three other people living in my house right now and I'm looking for a fourth.
It's just that my first house has been the party house since highschool (parents divorced and kinda sorta did their own thing and gave me the house). Nice being able to fall asleep at like 10pm sometimes without my house shaking from music ect. Or coming downstairs in the morning and people I've never seen before sleeping on the pool table

How can you afford so many house houses? Job is paying well?
Eh I do very well plus my gparents made moves in oil way back

I can't help you build your self esteem, but I think that's something you'd benefit from focusing on.

Have you looked into online postgrad programs? AMU, UMUC, Thomas Edison and others all have them

Not sure how USAF does TA. Navy is very accommodating to me, but different service and of course jr. airmen vs sr. petty officer.

The thing is I don't know if I'm going to benefit from a master's. I don't know what I want to do with it if I get one. What area do I focus on? Two years later and I still haven't figured it out.

What I really want to do is go to law school, but it's a 3 year commitment. Air Force doesn't give a fuck about me getting one, and won't accommodate. My shop will for scheduling purposes, but that's it.
