And my dog’s birthday!

The irony here is that the Mormons in Utah LOVE sodas because it’s the only thing they can have. Tons of them are literally addicted to soda.

Thank you, Pudutr0n. And thanks for this thread! It’s kind of bittersweet to see that a lot of folks are struggling lately. I know my personal circle is. Together, we can pull through.

Been struggling with anxiety and OCD since around the holidays. Work got more toxic than it already was, so I started interviewing, which was stressful. I’m starting a new job Monday, and I have anxiety about it–imposter syndrome, I suppose. It’s essentially the same thing as I was doing, maybe with more responsibility, but a 50% pay increase. My biggest worry is I am going from no supervisor, making my own goals, and not working a strict 40 (less) to… who knows. It seems great, but I’m not sure if I’m ready for the level of effort, or the shock of going back to 40s.

My mental state is getting better as the date approaches, which is good, I just hope I can ride it out and settle into my new role. I’m starting Setraline today, at least.

It absolutely does. Without Republicans gerrymandering everything to stay in the fold, they’re completely done. They’ll get bodied every election. The last time the Republicans won the popular vote was 20 years ago, and the party has radically changed since then.

Hopefully undoing the electoral college is the first step to dismantling the two party system.

Well, of course. A president attempting to overthrow the government is a huge deal, you fetid fucking moron.

Yes. I took Mandarin for a while and would practice at my favorite Chinese restaurants in town with the staff. They all remarked on how they keep their tongue on the bottom of their mouth. One older woman actually said it went back to Confucianism, and how that was better for the electrical circuit of the body, or something.
