How unpleasant! I hope you kick them invaders' rear end (although I suppose they don't have asses, really) and feel better soon!

I sure hope youre following up with your doctor for further non-covid testing. You still dont want to gently caress around with pneumonia or strep throat.

thank you for the kittens, my household just went from being a 1.5 dog household to a 2.5 dog household so these help balance that out nicely

Make sure you take all the time you need to fully recover then. Your country seems bound and determined to wipe out every single living being trapped within your borders right now and I dont think you should be helping it achieve that goal by going back to work early.

drat, i started playing the factorio demo while sitting at home being sick. i figured there was no one the game actually ended up being as compelling as people say, but god drat if it isn't just completely addictive

if you haven't bought factorio yet, you might wanna check out other similar games like Dyson Sphere Program or shapez.io first

factorio's main dev had a big Reddit meltdown ranting about CANCEL CULTURE last month

The smoke from the forest fires on the west coast have reach my city in central Ontario. I do not like this one bit, its making my asthma flare up to the point I had to get some inhalers for the first time in like 10 years. I cant even imagine how much worse it is the closer you get to the fires.

oh gently caress, the state wants to interview me for the position i applied for last month

and it's more important than ever that i get this job, as the company owner just announced she's probably moving to washington in the next few months and while be directing the company remotely going forward, which sounds like a recipe for disaster. and i'm spooling up some $500,000 projects which i may be abandoning just as they go to mobilization, so my colleagues would get the pleasure of a deep dive on plans and specifications right when they need to be ordering materials

gently caress, gently caress, gently caress, i'm freaking out about so many different things at once right now.

unfortunately not, vanya doesn't allow himself to approach the birds in case his inner jackal takes control. the birds approach him, and do ridiculous things like jumping on his back and trying to fly into his mouth, but i never have my phone with me when it happens :(

someone's quitting and i get to take on a bunch of their responsibilities, and as compensation i get a 2.75% raise. i don't know if that even covers the cost of living increase since my last raise about 16 months ago. i'm praying to whoever is listening that i get this state job

I'm just socially stupid so I'm going to argue a point that can probably be said in much fewer words:

The boring force to demonstrate themselves as interesting. Some belittle themselves and those who show interest, seeking to appear humble while paradoxically demanding attention. Others obnoxiously and insistently demand it (closet vs overt narcissism). Both will belittle others to keep attention on themselves and clash with the vibe of those around them.

The interesting attract interest to themselves by definition even when quiet, and they do not belittle those who show interest nor those who currently hold the focus of attention, following with the vibe of those around them. If they can't follow the vibe, they are never afraid of just going away and doing something else.

The boring want others to find that interesting which they do not, even being unable to recontextualize an idea to fit someone else's desires. They're like a dancer trying to dance to their own rhythm and annoyed others won't follow. The interesting dance to their own rhythm as well, changing their moves every so often, but only dance with those who care to follow along and maybe just dance by themselves.

Okay I've said enough yeah.

since getting his bad teeth out and his thyroid attended to, vanya has had a rejuvenation and is now committed to building his empire. his territory has extended past our backyard to encompass most of the block, not including a segment up near the road that is owned by jelly the maltese terrier, with whom he enjoys a distant but comfortable alliance.

there's a fox that lives somewhere down on the river and uses our block as a thoroughfare, with whom vanya maintains extensive and complex pee-based diplomatic communications. they've never met but i think they are well acquainted with each other's diet and habits.
