Brave Little Hitachi Wand

It’s so stupid that the used computer parts I bought three months ago are performing better than any stock I’ve bought this year

I don’t follow news from Peru very well, and I thought it was an interesting piece of context. I don’t have dots to connect for you, it just interested me.

I just had to freshen up my memory about the government in Peru. Turns out they just got a new right wing populist president a few days ago. Their government has been a mess for a while though, wishing them luck in further protests.

I should really become a Green party member.

I kind of lost faith in these petitions. Parliament gets one of these signed by a landslide and says “we ain’t about that” 99.9 times out of 100.

It’s not unrelated, as the other person mentioned. And on a closer inspection you changed the subject six times.

All of this gnashing of teeth from you because I made one joke about Farage’s crooked campaign finance, and somehow I’m the weirdo?

Fuck it. Let’s call this one a wash and hopefully next time we’ll be able to take each other more seriously. None of this conversation seems salvageable at this point, sorry to have bothered you.

It might be a tankie thing to change the subject ten times in one reply like I’ve never heard of a gish gallop. First they laugh at you, as they say - sometimes you just leave it at that.

Oh no I’ve been pressganged into an unwinnable debate by the CIA, the facts and logic are tearing me apaaart aieee

I’m a liberal, you’re a tankie, hurray everyone’s labelled now nobody has to think. Back to memes and hating life.

Do you think Russia would take him? I know they always need warm bodies.

Is Lemmy not precisely that? I’m having a great time having this be my only bullshit.

It’s time to begin a war on Christmas.

Last week was slightly a blur, my wife is out of work and watching our kid during summer break, but my mother’s coming later this week to do some of that. It’s also kind of a blur because we started daily exercise again and it always kicks my arse to get back in the saddle with strength training. If I had a gym nickname it’d be “Newbie Gains” because I keep quitting, going sedentary, and starting again from scratch.

They’ve got me taking on more accountancy tasks at work, sounds like I might be headed in that direction instead of claims adjusting. Fine by me, better than trying to learn maritime claims adjusting while working remotely.
