It’s been cloudy and raining for days here, no meteors for me!

I had the exact opposite experience during the previous big recession. People still needed work done, actually more work done in my field (graphic/web design and general marketing) so they could get revenues back up, but they didn’t have the budget for more full time workers. I couldn’t find a full time gig anywhere,…

Lol, I just got to 16 and I refuse to look at my game hours. I tend to play a lot for like 2 months and then just...stop for no real reason for long periods of time. And then I come back, and it’s still fun. Although in this system I spend a lot of my play time just figuring out how everything works now.

Somewhat of a tangent, but down here in Mississippi our Democrat (really!) Attorney General is trying to overturn a rule that says you can’t collect your state employee’s retirement benefits and serve in the state legislature at the same time. Our state legislators get something like $23k a year, which certainly not…

I’ve been hearing radio ads on the three main stations here for over a week now featuring Mike Huckabee telling us all how Espy supports "taxpayer funded abortion", which is an atrocious like that is unfortunately very effective with the state's single-issue voters. I'm trying to take comfort in the fact that the last…

If you want to stare into the abyss, look up the video of her woodenly repeating the phrase "we released a statement and we stand by that statement" over and over as reporters try to ask her about the hanging comment. She speaks like someone on horse tranquilizers and has zero capacity to think on her feet. The only…

There is. I missed most of it, this crazy woman just used her closing statement to tell us to go to donandjtrump.com and then said "tonight you have seen two different...differences". Then she used the phrase "defending the unborn children" six times and called Espy "very pro-abortion"

There’s a moderator and a camera crew, and it will be broadcast on some local TV stations. It's still super awkward and dumb, but Espy couldn't back out of the exercise without getting a truckload of attack ads about how scared he is to debate.

There’s cameras, and it’s being broadcast, just no reporters or audience. Which to me seems super creepy, two people arguing in an empty room, but Hyde-Smith is an atrocious public speaker, so she doesn’t want anyone distracting her from what I assume will be her straight reading from a stack of index cards. I’m…

My racist Facebook uncle™ has taken to posting memes about how stupid she supposedly is, and while he I'm sure things this makes him look smart all I see is a sad old man shouting "get off my lawn" through the gap in the curtains.

My only change has been re: fuel mileage. I loooved my Mustang, but when it got down to 18 mpg, it had to go. 

Aw, man I was really hoping there’d be a Moon Girl doll when I saw the headline, my daughter is a big fan.

Turduckhen confirmed

Just stood in line for 45 minutes in Mississippi, which is twice as long as I waited for the presidential election. Turnout is def. up in our area.

No Man’s Sky: “the astronaut game”

You should put a Misophonia warning on that thing :P

I assume they are orange cat ears, so he can be Jonesy?

Oh, so much this, too. I can’t wrap my mind around this idea so many people around me have that if they don’t have a loaded weapon nearby, some nondescript “bad guys” are just going to run up and murder them. They can’t be dissuaded by facts or statistics either, you can’t show them that if they aren’t involved in…

It’s been fun for me over the years to take my borderline socialist ass to family gatherings, wait for the guns to come out and just straight-up embarrass my relatives. Being conservative doesn’t somehow magically make you a marksman or a badass, and honestly approaching a firearm like a toy and thinking you are Rambo…
