Gab seems to me to be the lesser of the two evils, sure, but the only good option is to burn all social media to the ground without exception.

Fair warning the next 3-4 books are the biggest slog, almost enough to kill your interest in the series.

Almost? I got 2 chapters into book 10 and realized that I could just no longer bring myself to give even half a damn anymore.

Too. Many. Fucking. Characters. I swear to Christ it felt like each book just doubled the amount of characters I was expected to keep track of.

EDIT: Replied to the wrong comment before. Sorry Jack.

His comments about Kinzinger stemmed from an earlier clash over legislation regarding a vaccination database: Some Freedom Caucus members turned to friendly conservative media to claim that 80 fellow House Republicans compromised individuals' privacy by voting yes, but Crenshaw and GOP leaders countered that the bill included new protections against federal government tracking.

Yes, surely the bill that expands government tracking will actually protect me from government tracking.

As long as you pay the $200 tax stamp and pass what's probably a year-long background check, you can legally own a fully-automatic weapon. The weapon itself would be prohibitively expensive (probably something like $40k), and finding one at all would be difficult since their manufacture is all but banned, but yes, it is technically possible for an average person to legally own a fully-automatic weapon.

Presumably Santa Inc., the show that I've seen the same graphic for in the New page 3 or 4 times now.

And if I had to guess I'd say the male genocide show is Promising Young Woman, but not 100% on that.

Are airlines actually accepting mesh masks? I don't doubt that it qualifies as a mask and depending on the wording of the rule should be accepted, but something tells me that they'd be perfectly willing to tell you to fuck off even if you by letter fit the requirements.

I don't particularly mind Indians. Curry is delicious and my favorite place for lunch is an all-you-can-eat Indian buffet. Absolutely fantastic curry goat, as much as I want. Plus, even for the workers whose skill level could generously be called "subpar," they are, anecdotally by my experience, pretty hard workers overall.

That being said, at my past two jobs, the organizational update e-mails about new hires and lateral moves in upper management are a who's who of practically unpronouncable Indian names. Plus, new hires in the rank and file (specifically in IT) seem at least 50% likely to be Indian as much as all other races combined.

They are definitely extremely biased towards other Indians for hiring. As far as castes, I couldn't say. Never asked any of my Indian coworkers if they were Brahman or untouchable or whatever.

A Cleveland County Schools spokesperson told WBTV that Durden met the requirements to be a substitute teacher in the district because she is over 18 years old and graduated high school.

I continue to be surprised that there's still faith I have left to lose in the public school system.

It's to lend weight to the idea that while his foot was floored on the accelerator and he was purposefully swerving back and forth to take out as many people as possible, it was totally an accident and he feels really, really bad about it guys.

Perrin a murderer, even accidentally

The character who is written as consciously and constantly making sure he's as careful as possible around people because of his huge size and strength and spends several pages throughout the series being uncomfortable with his axe and the actions he's performed with it starts off the series as a murderer?

Cloudflare has dropped customers for political reasons before. Stormfront was the most high-profile, but I'm positive not the only one.

For payment processing, Matt and Blonde advertise Charity Swipes on their show. They focus on physical card processing but I believe they do have electronic processing as well. Never had need of them myself but might be worth a look.

Never heard anything positive or negative about Digital Ocean.

Never saw it myself, but the general consensus I saw was that it was pretty bad. Again, never saw it myself, just passing along what I heard.

Mathematically, a gay bar would be 100% dicks swinging around. And from what I've seen of gays nowadays, they're much more likely to be swinging them.

The FBI says the scheme to sell secret information about nuclear submarines began in April 2020 when Jonathan Toebbe sent a package of Navy documents to a foreign government and wrote that he was interested in selling operations manuals, performance reports and other sensitive information. Authorities say he also provided instructions for how to conduct the secretive relationship, with a letter that said: "I apologize for this poor translation into your language. Please forward this letter to your military intelligence agency. I believe this information will be of great value to your nation. This is not a hoax."

Is this how spying is done? Is this really it, or is this the equivalent of my sister calling herself a chef when she served me a black piece of bread that was supposed to be an EZ Bake Oven cake?

The sad thing is that I legitimately enjoyed John Dies at the End. Then again, I read it years ago. I don't know how much I'd actually care for it now.

The first step is admitting your faults, and it sounds like you've got that down to a T. Maybe spending a bit too much time on that part, though. Honestly, the most important thing is that you do anything to keep busy. You sound like the kind of guy who spends too much time in his own head. Find any kind of hobby that keeps you busy. Drawing, programming, etc. Hell, you're here on KiA2 so I assume you have some interest in video games. Older games are cheap (sail the high seas if you have to) and usually better than today's trash. If you absolutely can't get out of your own head, consider some kind of music. There's some catharsis to be found in playing songs that fit your mood.

Second, just because you've dropped classes doesn't mean the academic year is wasted. Regardless of whether you were failing because the material was too hard or, more likely, because the online format just made things too awkward, now's a perfect time to stress-free self-study. I guarantee you'll actually learn better at your own pace anyway.

Third, "just lift bro" is a meme partially because it's true. Exercise does actually boost spirits. Even back when I had a job I fucking despised, my nightly 5 mile walk/run always made me feel a bit better. That shit's free, though I don't know what the status in your area is as far as lockdowns. Oh, and I never felt better than when I was taking boxing classes. That's the best socially-acceptable stress relief you'll ever get. Boxing isn't even that expensive, spend a little over $100 (that's in USD, don't know what it would be in your fucked up currency) on a heavy bag, hand wraps, and a cheap pair of gloves. I prefer a hanging bag, but a standing one should be fine too. If you don't take classes, though, I do recommend watching a few videos on proper punching form and being especially focused on your form the first few times at the bag. The second week at the bag I threw a bad cross and fucked up my wrist hard, that hand was entirely out of commission for about two weeks. And if you can't afford the bag and gloves, just shadowbox. Still pretty good exercise, a great way to practice form, and no risk of injury.

And as pithy as it may sound, better days are ahead.
