    I feel you man. I too hate the heat especially humid weather. I think we're suppose to have a warm day in California today. Time to slow roast in my house.

    Aside from it reaching a rule 3 violation...the art of having a conversation/discussion/debate is lost. People don't know how to choose their words carefully anymore. It's as if the saying, "It's not what you say that matters, but how you say it" is some...alien and unearthly concept that no one shall be beholden to. Critical thinking is becoming a lost art as well. If you don't share the same worldly view/perspective/thinking...you are immediately chastised (or potentially have your life ruined). I think it's amusing to watch people who are totally unaware that they're doing this very thing, assume they're in the right...when in reality, they're hypocritically committing the very act of "two wrongs." But eh...what can ya do? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It would seem people these days just don't know how to think things through anymore. People just don't understand the very simple basic concept of consequences. That it applies to everyone, not just those you disagree with.

    My goal was to never use it, but I think my list may be approaching double digits if it's not there already.

    For the second time now, I've been sent home from work due to my allergies.

    It's there for a reason, and it certainly serves its purpose. I get what y'all are saying, but sometimes...it's just not worth reading some things or failing to resist the temptation to respond. Sometimes, ignorance really is bliss. I'll leave it at that :)

    Holy sh*t dude, do you know how lucky you are?!
    They just evicted you for no reason?! Wtf dude. Can they do that legally, couldn't you take them to court? God how could anyone be such opportunistic scum. Why do that to "family"?! Vultures.
    This is a personal attack and i won't tolerate it.

    I agree with you. The way I see it, if someone’s argument isn’t being agreed with in a debate and they storm off/devolve their point of contention into childish insults, they’ve already rendered their argument irrelevant. It may win cool points and phish for likes on the internet but would be a total joke in real life.

    I also think products being treated as people has gotten out of hand. Any company worth a damn sheds no tears when called for a shitty product. Yet it’s as if these products have feelings. “Oh no, don’t say it breaks easily and not made like it used to be,

    I’M TELLING MY MOM!”.

    1 of my friends fixes a lot of stuff. He was telling me that decades ago, washers and dryers used to last for a few decades. He told me you’ll be lucky if any washer or dryer now lasts that long. I didn’t jump to the defense of whichever manufacturer of said dryer or washer was mentioned. I just took it for what it is and could see where he was coming from.

    So I just read a thing where apple suggests against using camera covers on macbooks for "mechanical reasons" and "advise users to review what apps have access to their camera, and be aware for when the indicator light is on".

    Hah. No. I'm using painter's tape, and if that don't work out I just won't use the computer at all.

    My school district is a joke. They just sent us substitute teachers today a survey to see how available we will be for next month's new school year start. The survey had one question about that, and then continued one wanting to know where we will sub at without an option of "I just said I'm not available," and we had to pick a choice. I ended up having to write this in the last question:

    I hate the fact that I have to use a sleep aid to knock me out at night. Long before current events, I have a tough time sleeping. Getting 3 to 4 hours of sleep and napping 2 to 3 times a day.

    Quite a few people have had this complaint / rant in recent years, to the point where the EU recently enacted laws to counter it (although many are saying they don't go far enough), with some US states at various stages of enacting similar laws

    Here's to staying on number three :lol 

    The bubble fear gets me a lot though. I have an unhealthy obsession with it that's kind of similar with my issues with the troll. I always feel a need to see "both sides" of an argument whenever I see one online. But when both of them fall into nothing but nasty, vile insults against the other side it gets disheartening quite quickly.

    I find it hard to break the chain of scrolling top to bottom because of that fear of creating a bubble while also knowing some things don't deserve my attention.

    If your trying to get informed on a serious issue then debates on social media are pretty much the last fucking place where you should go to do that. It's basically this in digital form -

    sadly, I suffered an Ankle Sprain on Thursday, still healing from that, the swelling is not as bad as it used to be, but still have some pain, and I walk with a limp.
