Incoherent Ramblings...

An often neglected place where I post things I like, or things I have to say. Eventually, I will spend more time here, and start to fill this place out...

Me: Hello, wou…

Her: Don’t. Just don’t. I’ve already been asked.

Me (in my head): So sorry that someone asked you already today, and that I am just doing my job, *daring* to ask you if you wanted a free paper. I wasn’t here this morning when you tore through here, and it would be nice if you weren’t so fucking rude… especially since you have your 5 year old son with you who gets to watch mommy be a complete and total asshole to people trying to earn a living. So grab your fucking cappuccino and fuck off.

And how is *your* day, today, my tumblr friends?

[driftersinn]

Not doing this job anymore, but just a reminder to people to not be an asshole to people who are.

Being 18-25 is like playing a video game where you’ve skipped the tutorial and you’re just sort of running about with no idea how anything works

[rumbutt]

Being 25-30 is like later on in the game when you’ve figured out how things work, but have made poor leveling decisions along the way and are now horribly underpowered for what you’re supposed to be doing.

[pengychan]

Being 30-35 is coming to the conclusion that if wildly swinging a sword at random while screaming has gotten you this far, may as well keep at it. 

[driftersinn]

36+ nobody cares whether you're playing the game anymore, your game keeps glitching, points disappear for no reason and you randomly level down without warning while the rules to leveling back up change every time. Oh and all of your favorite characters keep dying... Weeeeeeee...

So we’re nearing the end...

of the political season. Or are we? I keep hearing how it’s going to be “months and months” before we know the outcome of the November 3rd election.

What are we going to do?

Buy shirts!

So good to see you! Where’ve you been? What are you doing? Still married? How are the kids? Where are you living now? How are you doing? So good to catch up... talk to you later!

#TBT to 1985 when we whale-comed a crew of star-trekking time travelers. Happy 50th Anniversary, Star Trek! George and Gracie say “Hi!”

When Star Trek IV hit theaters, humpback whale populations were low, having been hunted to the brink of extinction before a hunting moratorium was introduced in 1966. But thanks to conservation efforts, these whales have made huge strides towards recovery, so much so that nine of the 14 distinct humpback populations were recently taken off the Endangered Species List. Live long and prosper, humpback whales!

So it seems we’re stuck with Betsy DeVos as Secretary of Education, and it’s going to be a long slog until we can get someone new in the Oval Office who is going to choose a new Cabinet.

This means we have a Secretary of Education who never spent a day in public school as a student, and most definitely as never spent one day as a teacher.

That’s why there’s this -  loudly support our teachers, and 

stick it to Betsy DeVos,

Only available for a limited time. Get them before they're gone!

Bernie Sanders to left-wing Israeli party: ‘Occupation must end’

Former Democratic presidential hopeful addresses Meretz members for a conference on the 50th anniversary of the Six Day War

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders said “the occupation must end” in a video message to Israel’s left-wing opposition Meretz Party.

The five-minute video was set to be screened at a conference Sunday marking the end of the Six-Day War in 1967 and “50 years of Occupation.”

In opening the video, Sanders, a Jewish Independent who sought the Democratic presidential nomination, called Meretz, which currently has 5 seats in Israel’s 120-seat Knesset, “Israel’s most prominent political organisation.” He added that the party stands “for many of the same values that progressives are fighting for here in the United States and throughout the world.”

“We are now in the 50th year of Israel’s occupation, an occupation which denies basic Palestinian rights while failing to deliver Israel real security,” said Sanders.

So I just noticed, because I don’t look at my keyboard all that often, that part of the letters ‘S’ and ‘A’ are wearing off. Now, my last name begins with an ‘S’ so that could be one reason that that particular key is wearing off, and the next letter in my last name is ‘A.’ I’m figuring that those are the only two keys necessary to pull up the auto-fill window for forms on various websites.

I also notice, after taking the photo, that I have quite a bit of dust on the keyboard as well. I’ll need to take care of that after I’m done typing out this little missive.

But why just those keys? I use the others just as much. Did Asus put less of an effort into printing those keys? Did they do it on purpose, knowing that some people will be OCD enough to want to replace their keyboard once the letters start wearing off? 

Or am I just sitting here, completely bored after spinal cord surgery, and have absolutely nothing else to do?

Alright. Y’all know how this works. That’s $1100 right there. 

May you be completely, abundantly, beautifully blessed.

[driftersinn]

It looks like I am #51 on the ‘notes’ list for this one. And yes, I did just write a somewhat-scathing account of these #ForwardFortune posts... could I use $1100 right now? Of course. Could hundreds, thousands of people in the world use $1100? You bet your ass they could! Sure, it’s a release to the universe that you are in need, that you could use even just a little lift. I don’t really fault these type of posts for not providing the results they ‘claim,’ I am just frustrated at my current position. It’s not a position of my own making. It is a position made by circumstance. A sprained knee has turned into 7 months aid up, and spinal cord surgery coming in 10 days.

Hopefully this brings a few dollars my way. I’m going to be in the hospital for about 3 days (says the surgeon), then home. Anywhere from 3 weeks to 3 months recovery time. I start rehab and physical therapy a week after the surgery. I am going to work as hard as I can to get back out in the world, back to my family, back to friends, and back to work.
