Venting The Vent/Rant Thread Vs. You Silly KnuckleHeads Can Go Fly a Kite!!

OK, so I've always been relatively liberal/progressive despite being raised by 2 hardcore Republicans (I started thinking for myself around the age of 10).

So I never much cared for most conservative positions but I could sort of understand where they were coming from. I can disagree with someone and still respect them.

HOWEVER, what the holy fuck has happened to the Republican Party in the last decade or so? It's gotten downright insane. Seems like every GOP politician tries to see how hateful/crazy/stupid/fascist/anti-democracy they can be. And people are eating it up.

What pisses me off most is that they still call themselves "conservative."
Extreme radical insanity is NOT "conservative."

While I too was raised by 2 hardcore republicans and also agree with 100% of your entire post, you may get more diverse replies if you posted this in Current Events & Politics or in The Dive.

That said, since this is a more social thread, it can remain here.

I wasn't looking to get into a debate, argument, or fight. I just wanted to rant/vent.
 
Life has sharp and rough edges, and by gods grace and mercy I've only kept it to weed n beer. & Weed to maintain during the day, and some beer after work to relax.

I haven't touched a syringe in a month and 2 weeks.

For being a recovering heroin addict, that's huge and hell yeah. I really don't like how some people will shun others because they might swap their DOC from heroin to pot, like pots a lot better bub .
The beer is something I need to keep dialed in 2x tallboys afterwork. Anything more, and theres that 'line' people talk about crossing, because as an alcoholic, its hard to stop once started, but with not yet stabbing myself with a rusty fish hook, i think I'm okay playing with beer and pot.
 
i have a three year gap in employment. my last two interviews they didn’t realize that until in the interview. the first question in today’s interview was “so tell me about your current position.” i don’t know what to do. because i didn’t work for three years i’m now forever unemployable in my field? no. there’s some way to start over. gotta figure it out.

So a few avenues to ponder.. roll a self employed period or a stint into gig employment with a creative negative view of the scene. Self employment is the way I would go.. make it realistic and desirable. Gig employment may run red flags for many employers as it could indicate a threat to their traditional employment models.

Work it.. because they are pretty shameless.
 
Put in 40 hours in the last 3 days @ work. I feel like Forest Gump when he's out running across America, slows down, turns around, and tells everyone that is there running along with him that he's tired, and wants to go home now. :/
Then tomorrow late, when I get to where I'm crashing at, dudes going to make me,,, socialize.. :(
 
I keep choosing the "low hanging fruit". Impulsive, reckless, thinking only of more indulgence.

I don't think I can choose the higher fruit without some form of guidance if I keep experimenting without engaging others for guidance I won't reach a stable sanctuary in life if there is such a thing. Life is fragile, temporal, and no one really knows for sure how we got here let alone why?

The winter is approaching where I am. I know that where I live is not cold compared to where probably most of the people here lives (the lowest temperature is 5ºC)... However, the apartment where I live was not made for the winter and I'm feeling less and less functional because of the weather. Is hard for me to concetrate or do small tasks. I have some deadlines for next week and I'm having a hard time on making it and focus... I'm so grateful for the opportunities and new responsabilities I'm having, but also so scared of not making it. My perfeccionist side can't accept a failure.

Try and " weatherize" it the best you can. Put clear plastic on the windows ( with thumbtacks for the frame) Put weather strip seals ( peel and stick ) on your doors and if you have a gap from the floor to the bottom of the door...roll up a thick towel and place it there. Seal up drafts with whatever you have and use clear colored caulk on any drafts you may have.

Do you have a furnace? Small electrical heaters? 5 C is pretty cold. How do you stay warm in the winter?

Thank you! The wheater strip seals are a great idea!
We have a small eletric heater, but we just turn on at night, because the price of the electricity is expensive here. But I hope that when I start working it will help to afford the bills for winter.
