So I did an experiment and went off my Vraylar for 2 weeks just to see how I would handle myself. I felt good and more active, like I wasn't being subdued mentally (also I ate less). But I noticed I was also more prone to spending and mood switches but nothing extreme happened thankfully. I'm scared to bring this up with my shrink (though I know I should) because she'll probably get mad at me, but I feel like this is a sign I need to rejigger my dose or supplement my meds somehow. I don't know. Bipolar is weird. I might have just been in a good mood by default and just got lucky nothing bad happened in my life to spiral me. gently caress. It's hard to explain but I feel like the Vraylar, as useful as it seems to be at stopping manic episodes, leaves a slightly gray shade over my life.

Sorry just ranting. This isn't something I feel comfortable talking about in real life yet.

I mean I’m out here locally trying to get candidates that actually represent me elected, but sure I’m the one at fault here

Only having a senior citizen as a viable candidate is a problem with roots from a decade-plus ago, complaining about it now doesn’t fix anything. What are you doing about it to make sure it doesn’t happen again? These people don’t just spring from the loving ether, you have to actually have quality candidates at local and state levels to have a chance in hell of getting what you want. Right wing freaks battled for each and every seat they could for the entirety of Obama’s presidency while the left sat on their laurels and now we have to do the same to unfuck it all.

As far as student loans, I dunno he gave up at the first hurdle while they forgave billions in PPP loans to fraudsters and small business tyrants with no opposition. He loving ran on this.

Much in the way that “the purpose of a system is what it does,” Joe Biden’s actions speak louder than his ineffectual words. 50 years of his “leadership” telegraphed this exact sequence of events, and I’m not surprised people are uninspired by his bullshit.

Went to Hot Wheels Monster Truck show and it wasn’t as good as Monster Jam. They did have a truckosaurus though, which was cool. The trucks themselves didn’t do a whole lot of tricks, mostly just running over cars. Kid still loved it and that’s all that matters though.

I don't know how Iowa became so blood-red. When I left here in 2010, we had had two consecutive Democratic governors (Tom Vilsack and Chet Culver), we had a reliably Democratic seat in the Senate (Tom Harkin had the seat for 20 years) and we had legalized marriage equality.

I came back three years ago. Now we have an utter ghoul in the governor's mansion in the form of Kim Reynolds and two demons in the Senate, the undying Chuck Grassley and the unfathomably evil Joni Ernst. And the second district is represented in Congress by COVID denier Ashley Hinson, who is just dumb as a stump.

What happened, Iowa?

Mortal Kombat while bad, knows exactly what you're here for and quickly dispenses with anything but that.

The setup between fights is relatively minimal, they bring the characters and their motivations to the screen well, and boom, it's just death match after death match with like a couple of minutes in between. And yet manages to bring together a diverse cast, give... some of them motivations and has a relatively cohesive story.

Speaking of Jesus what is with this loving Creed comeback. They were in that unhinged Paramount ad with Tua and Patrick Stewart, then I randomly started hearing them in the grocery store "inoffensive pop music" mix. I hadn't thought about Creed in like 20 years and was very happy to keep it that way

I guess they're doing a reunion tour this year which is unfortunate

The stunning one for me was that you can’t drag an attachment from an open email onto your desktop or into a folder anymore. That extremely basic, ancient functionality was deemed unnecessary by some dimwit. It also appears that you can’t open an attachment from an email directly into its corresponding desktop app, it only comes up in a preview window within Outlook and you have to download it before doing anything else with it.

Essentially it seems like they’ve removed any functionality from the desktop app that wasn’t already in the web app. Mind-boggling.

My gut tells me that surge pricing is ultimately a money loser. Fast food has one thing going for it, predictability. You know what you’re going to get, how much it’s going to cost, and how long it’ll take. When you start taking one of those away, people tend to find alternatives, which there are plenty of in fast food.

No, it's the biggest problem. It's a massive part of why modern capitalism is a shitshow. Investors keep falling for the same stupid poo poo while trying to chase a golden goose, CEOs who have golden parachutes have zero incentive to maintain long-term prospects for a company's health because they're being graded on a month-to-month basis, consumers are so stretched that they default to lowest price possible not out of choice, but necessity, barriers to entry to the marketplace get higher.
