zesty_pintoBased on my record this week, it appears that my life must be pretty good if I'm not posting that much here since this place might be more of a trauma dump for me when I'm not waxing things in my head or convincing myself it's okay to pester people with a rat puppet.
Still looking through deets and did not expect 12 million people to just... not vote. I'm aware the GOP has also seen a decline. I think the majority of people who are offline and we are too bubbled to see are probably fatigued. I know I am.
The reactions have been a lot of what I've seen before. I hate being a cynic but yeah, seeing these sort of things emphasize why, like I'm some human donkey that came from Orwell's Animal Farm. I also have seen enough ratchet from the Dems to know that whatever happens in four years is not going to be fixed and anyone else that is upset about it won't be heard because they're not wealthy enough to earn the look (and if you think I'm wrong, please remember that Kamala promised debt protection for crypto investments of all things in an election where crypto was spending the most). At least Space Force can eat up that SpaceX shit and be rampant with failure because the asshole that bought the company will probably demand quantity over quality again.
Michelle is feeling a little better, but recovery from this, just like the immunization, is slow. She's looking up Portuguese citizenship rules. Comfort food and venting and flipping the bird at any car with a Trump banner on it (there's quite a few of them in central Jerz). At least I can get back on the Peloton now so I can remind myself why I should hate food--I put this next to the previous sentence to emphasize how first world my problems really are.
She's also a bit upset at herself because the camera body I talked about in the last post? Yeah, she messed up the finance plan so she owes 5k in a month. I feel like it means I'm buying her the gear despite her making the money but again: first world problem. I told her though that if she feels guilty then we can think out a finance plan, I just want this done because "it'll hurt more if we don't handle it immediately", so back to the Sisyphean task of saving up for a house and pushing back my own gear purchases lol
I suppose if the citizenship does go through we might not buy a home after all so I guess that's fair. At the worst, it means saving up for a place in Portugal. I'm complaining about emigration though when I'm simultaneously concerned for Palestinians though, so whatever.
I'm hoping this will be the last post on this topic and I'll go back to posting about my life. I still have a full photo card so will probably try to fit some postprod today between the work. Already got to enjoy waking up early because we're also the same goddamn country that believes in daylight savings for some goddamn reason and I need to work with people in India.
Okay, angst over. Hope everyone has recovered some after 36 hours of all... this. Posting normie things will resume shortly.
