Pretty much everyone buy my one cousin and his girlfriend from my aunt and uncle's crew got Covid recently, probably from my cousin in law. Most of them are fine, but my uncle's over 70 so I'm a little worried.

I'm lucky enough to have an entire family who believes in science (as well as just in general trying to be semi-decent people) and we all took it serious and were extra careful for the sake of my sister who is immune-compromised. Then like a month from the first vaccine being released she ended up being the one to catch it =/ luckily she turned out fine and recovered well and is now fully vaccinated.

The crypto coin market had a minor crash last night apparently due to a power outage in china's mining farms. I panicked and sold off my ethereum just as it started to swing back up.

Speculative crypto investment may not be for me, I've lost like $40 so far lol

You should pretty much never sell *after* a crash. Odds are generally that it will rebound at least a little bit in short order.

I’m literally filthy after my day there yesterday. I was exhausted and fell asleep sitting up and never made it to bed/shower.

Something gave birth/laid eggs when I opened a door, whole swaths of ceiling were on the floor and it was grimy.

I need to be fumigated.

Took a load to storage. Hadda piss once I got there (thanks diabetes!). Their restrooms were closed for COVID.
So, I held it for the 10 minute unloading and the 27 minute drive home.

Was near to bursting when I got home...rushed in the house, flipped up the lid, started pissing...in the dark, because that's how desperate I was.

Hear no water splashing, but it sounds like I'm hitting the edge of the bowl. so we good. Then I notice my legs getting sprinkles. Panic mode sets in and I lean over and turn on the light--and I'm pissing on the bottom hem of my slightly longer-than-normal t-shirt. At least the piss was going into the bowl afterwards.

I hate having to pronounce peoples' names for our upcoming graduation ceremony. I had to record myself too, which makes it double-shitty.

My mother complains that I never call her, meanwhile when I repeatedly tell her I'm not going to talk politics with her, her only interaction with me is to email or facebook message me random unhinged nonsense about whatever the internet/Fox told her last for the last 3 weeks. I already spent a month this summer depressed and crying about how my parents care more about fear politics than anything else, and I'm over it and am not dealing with her shit anymore. If she wants to interact with me, fine, but I'm definitely not going to bother even calling her if her interpretation of me saying stop talking about this shit or I'll hang up is to send me propaganda that she thinks proves her points.

I continue to be amazed at how smart, caring, compassionate, well-read people (I'm not saying your mother's one of them :-P) are still being pulled towards the weird conspiracies. I mean, in some cases you can really just follow the spiral and see them go. i've got a guy on FB, friend from uni, who's all that and more - he's a great guy! He's got a doctorate in CS and a masters in Physics (I think, or math, whichever)! He's a warm, loving family member, good parent as far as I can tell, he's well aware of the dangers of statistics and bad input, he started out the Covid period being all on board and positive, "come on folks all together, we can do it, solidarity, don't be individualistic". And now he's polluting my FB with crazy, fake numbers "proving" masks don't work, that vaccines are government overreach and we should all be terrified of the fascist superstate, everybody but him's a sheep who just won't look at the actual facts, etc etc and it's just sad. In... 6 months or so he's gone from a smart likable guy to crazy tinfoil hat nut.
And I deliberately keep him (and some others) on my FB because I do want to keep seeing "that" side of the story to know what the F people are claiming now, but it's exhausting. It's demoralizing.

I had coffee late in the day yesterday and I still haven't fallen asleep. I'm dangerously close to "Fuck it, time to stay awake all day to fix my sleep schedule," time. That said, I have nowhere to be, but it might just end with me passing out at 10am and exacerbating the problem. :rofl:

Hey, assholes at Philadelphia, why the fuck is herb and garlic a nearly identical shade of green as dill pickle? One of them tastes good and it's not this fucking shit. This is the second time I've reached for the green one and gotten this shit. I know it's my fault for not looking, but Jesus, I was in rush to finish my weekly grocery shop and get the fuck out of the store.

I'm in a huge depressed funk, and I've been there for a while. I don't know how to pull myself out of it, but I think that I have it better than most so I should stop whining. Of course that then makes me feel shittier, too.

And thus a vicious cycle is born.

So Xenforo just updated to a new version. And guess what? They no longer use ReCAPTCHA. So my choices are: (1) register the site at ReCAPTCHA and jump through hoops in settings as XF no longer will support it (which will cause lag issues) or (2) update to the new software, which would automatically change over to hCaptcha. But that costs $70 that I don't have right now. I also don't know what it would break addon-wise, but so far it looks like everything should still work.

This isn't even a security update. Well, it's got SOME security to it, but nothing that I have to do. And the $70 is only good for a year so if they changed shit next year I'd have to do it again. FML.
