Sounds like you should be sober from weed too.
If your default state is high, you're never sober. You're just experiencing the hangover state between highs. Think of it as the weed version of delerium to an alchoholic. It's not a physical hangover, so it's not as obvious.
Stay sober for a few weeks. It'll drag at first, but it'll go away after a bit. You'll even out your neurotransmitters and feel like yourself again. Then getting high on occasion will be an event, not a medication.
Anecdotally, people I've known who smoke everyday tend to be okay with things they shouldn't be. The chemical joy seems to make them content with having a kind of shitty life and never actually doing anything. High activities just became their only activities when weed changed from weekends to everyday. I'm not saying this is true of everyone, but I've seen it happen more often than not to daily smokers.
Drugs and alcohol should be occasional modifiers to your life, not the default state. Give your chemistry a rest.
Dionysus in hades. Dude amps me up so well I pick him over boons I like better.
I put my hyperfixations on bargain hunting, antiques, and woodworking, so i don't have any money, but I look like a real piece of shit when I say that.
Like I know legality has no meaning anymore, but isn't that like, really a lot more illegal in a way that there are standards that can't be ignored? Retaliation against a whistleblower?
I'm a 1 with random bouts of 5
That makes sense. It didn't come with the other part, but there's a bunch at a thrift store nearby, which must have been where I've seen it before.
I feel like I knew what this thing was right up until I had one. Two tool id site had no idea, and one said it's a ball joint separator, but I can't find any that look like this, and I swear I've seen them in stores, but can't remember where.
Maybe a type of bearing press?
I understand that the dems are dogshit and couldn't get a rally behind them. But the fascists needed to be wiped out completely. We could have rallied against the rebublicans, and had more time to change the parties in power, but now we won't be likely to get the chance to oust them ever again. We have been shown with every election for the last half a century that anytime conservatives get power, they make it harder to take away, and make the world a worse place.
I don't blame the voters, but I'm unhappy with all the people who thought this was the time to try to make a point to the dems by convincing others they shouldn't vote against fascism. They didn't try it when it was romney. They didn't try it when it was bush and Carey, they decided the correct time to sow infighting was an actual real fascist with a team of sycophants who want to make him a king.
And most who decided they didn't want to support the dems probably didn't go to the polls at all, since it's far too common for dipshit Americans to thinknonly the presidential campaign matters, so now not only is the president a king, but the down ballot positions support him as well.
The christofascists were always going to vote en mass for one side, as they always have. We were supposed to try and stop them. Now antifa is a terrorist group. People are being arrested for wearing free palastine shirts. Being queer is considered a mental illness. Wearing a mask at a protest is a crime. The mass surveillance that never should have started in the first place is not only strengthened, it's data is for sale.
Everything just got a lot worse, and changing it just got a lot harder.
That's exactly what I'm saying. There are so many other issues to consider, but they were disregarded because of one issue that has not changed.
It's still happening, and now we're also building concentration camps.
Direct action does not mean "don't also vote to make it harder for the fascists." Only two options were valid for the majority of election positions. We could have bought more time to fill local positions with third parties and progressives, but instead we're building concentration camps and cutting any progress we've made in the last 20 years.
Let's say everyone who isn't Maga voted third party. What does the electoral college do?
If only two candidates had the possibility of winning, and neither of them were going to change that particular issue, then it held no bearing on the election. Pretending that it could be changed and sowing apathy in voters gave full power to the fascists.
So, is the world a better place now? Or is everyone worse off than we could have been while the genocide is still happening regardless?
I'm the bad guy here, I'm aware. No one is doing as good of a job as they think. Everything is falling apart and everyone is getting dumber and every service and product is gettting worse, and everyone responsible for the decline seems to think imposter syndrome applies to them. I am a licensed proper professional, with a constant urge to learn more and better myself. It's so rare to meet someone in my industry who isn't faking it or going through the motions that I've made a point to stay in contact with anyone I meet who actually knows what the fuck they're talking about.
That's four people. In 11 years.
Companies send reps to my offices that can't answer basic questions. Customer service for any company can't help with anything. Websites for multibillion dollar companies have broken and missing links, and their tech support has no idea what the words I say to them even mean. Companies will try to set up meetings with me to buy their 100k machines or bring their new tech into my offices, and they can't even tell me what it fucking does outside of promontory buzzwords that have no real meaning.
Classes I have to take to get CE credits every year are full of braindead dipshits with no hope of ever advancing their accreditation who don't realize this isn't high school and you're not going to be given a multiple choice exam you can bluff your way through when you're actively defending your right to have the title to the fucking board.
I rip these people apart when they try to do business with me. If you want to be seen as a professional, be a fucking professional.
Imposter syndrome is real, but the majority claiming they have it aren't good enough to be an imposter. Someone in this world needs to know what the fuck they're talking about, and i guess I have to be the one to expose anyone who doesn't. So I'm the bad guy, the person the imposters are afraid of meeting.
Being polite would be a disservice to anyone who has to deal with the problems their incompetence will cause.
