Should I continue with the depressing book I'm in the middle of reading, or should I switch to the depressing manga I'm in the middle of reading?
Decisions, decisions.
I even considered reading something not depressing—but nah, where's the fun in that?
Ladies and gentle the 'alpha male' leadership this country deserves (well a third of it, anyway.)

Boiling these people couldn't sanitize them enough at this point.
My local #cafe is #depressing.
Its situated amidst medical specialty offices, just off the main highway that runs through town.
Two wall mounted TVs playing sports shows that no one is watching.
Background music is a series of cover songs of what was popular music from the 2000s.
A series of uncomfortable chairs and tables to chose from.
The #coffee is just... not good.
The wifi does work.
@Nonilex No kidding this is not good.
When the good ones leave, that opens the door for other Fox hosts to step into the breach. Jesse Waters for admiral, perhaps? who knows….
But hey, at least we’ll get some good inside reporting from the one remaining news outlet at the Pentagon, right? /s
Jesus...rant incoming, you may want to ignore this. I am watching the live feed of the NI Assembly, Members Statements, my lord what bad speakers our politicians, their #oracy skills are severely lacking plus everything they say has to turn into a dig at someone else especially the DUP members who have issues with everyone else.
Today it was mainly the TUV who are snapping at their heels. The election campaign has started.
We can do better...
Back to the stone age for us.
Stockton Rush the CEO for OceanGate once remarked on camera "All tests are good tests." This was just before he fired Boeing Aerospace as consultants on his project because his submersible design and materials kept failing pressure tests.
Boeing has since gone on to cut corners in manufacturing and testing in their own manufacturing process. I guess this is so they can kill passengers directly, without the need for a middle man. 🤷♂️
first wip of my idea for the gallery application the prompt is "how it feels to be queer and out in oklahoma" :) i fear they may want more happy kind of feelings about being out though... might try something else for the next idea... #wip #artwip #vent #depressing
not applying to grad school because id probably end up doing some sort of climate science and that shit is #depressing
By this time last year, l had raised 5 issues with the #GRO. This year, it's 7. An increase of 40%

Ich meide populäre SoMe-Plattformen, fühle mich psychisch negativ beeinflusst davon. Kein Anschluss oder soziale Interaktion, viel mehr Einsamkeit.
Dann kamen die late-capitalist Tech-Bro-Neofaschisten und ich dachte: Endlich die Abkehr von Meta, Twitter usw. Jetzt fühl ich mich aber nur noch mehr wie ein einsamer Contrarian. Gerade ein Freund schulterzuckend gemeint, er geht zurück auf Whatsapp.
Hat jemand ähnliche Erfahrungen gemacht?

Now it's official. The biggest looser of the #CDU will become chancelor of Germany. Biggest looser of his party you ask? Yes. He tried to win against Angela Merkel, and lost. He then tried to win against Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, and lost (and she wasn't at all popular and a name you probably forgott if you've even heard of her). And he tried to win against Armin Laschet, and lost (and he wasn't at all popular as well and a name you probably forgott if you've ever heard of him).
But, as the German saying goes: "grease floats on top". And finally, he managed. Germany will loose four valuable years of progress, once more; but hey, at least the rich will get richer again.
And we can only hope that he keeps his promise to not work with the #noafd - let's see what happens, once the hard exploratory talks with the parties and their followers that he - just a day ago - was still insulting - will conclude. It's them - and only them - that he can work with in a coalition, if he doesn't want to break his promise...
I deleted my #facebook for a lot of reasons.
It kinda bored me, and I realized that I only paid attention to, and cared about the stuff people I was in the life of posted.
I could just see them.
Then also went through a #depressing and difficult time with #addiction where #shame and #fear just made me want to hide, and be alone.
Also had a stalker for a bit.
Said I would never make one again.
I am considering it to spread the stuff I'm making more.
Eh... Tomorrow problem.
ok after all that fun #memes back to more #depressing as usual #politics: #numbers don't lie this #republican is (apparently) some of the more #intelligent (but still reads the NUMBERS WRONG #wtf X-D) obliterates #trump #elonmusk #doge spending cuts with #charts and yes thanks to #trump 1st term the #US #debt grew massive
scary fact: the only time a #tax of 90% (!!!) was put on the #veryrich #superrich #oligarchs was during #wartime read the #book by #WalterScheidel #inequality #greatleveler https://annas-archive.org/search?q=The-Great-Leveler https://annas-archive.org/md5/3a2adcfe26bc0da6ba8ccefc65e9405c
[P] It's so perverse. Erudition isn't glossolalia!
Me: Oh, those are words I'm unfamiliar with! They must be important in their field. I wonder what they mean? I'll look them up! I want to learn!
Hiverarchy: Ugg. Man speak in tongues! Must be STOOPID. Me listen to genius smurtyman who words me know and make me feel smurt!
I'm not that bright, I'm really not! Hiverarchy, stop setting such an obscenely low bar! This hurts me. I'm so upset by this.
[P] I always wondered if hiverarchy worshipped unmitigated stupidity, but the reality is far more perverse. It's a direct inversion between idiocy and erudition. So the researcher is a knuckle-dragging moron while Trump is a rising star, shining bright, whose sparkling, scintillating mind will save us all.
I want to crawl into a hole and curl up. Hopefully that's monosyllabic enough for hiverarchy to perceive as unmatched brilliance.
