Appalachia is flooded and tons of people can’t get clean water or evacuate due to roads collapsing. Opened Tumblr, saw a smug liberal practically orgasming over “you Trump voters” getting what we deserve.
I guess I’m fighting with my only friend again. I told him I explained something badly and he misunderstood it. He told me he’s too stupid to have serious conversations with. I reiterated that the communication failure was on my end, and he’s not stupid. He suddenly flipped the script and said I always make him feel stupid and that I think he’s lesser than me. Even though he was calling himself stupid and I was trying to reassure him? I attempted to comfort him and asked what I could do better, since I actually really admire him, but he hasn’t replied.
It’s almost time to return my library book and I’ve barely touched it. I carry it everywhere with me, but we’re so busy I have to work through my breaks and I pretty much fall asleep when I get home. I guess it’s more of a hobby for well off people.
Maybe next week will be remotely decent.
That shit pisses me off so bad. Different part of Appalachia, but I lived in WV for a year and will go off when someone makes a comment about the people there. There are a lot of great folks fighting the good fight.
It’s so stupid, ain’t it? The logic is so broken when you think about it. So the south has oppressive laws. You think that’s bad, because people deserve better, right? Except then you hate people for being oppressed, so much that you want them to suffer further punishment.
So you don’t actually hate oppression, right? So then why don’t you like the south?
Liberals are some of the stupidest creatures alive. (I’m a leftist)
Have you tried audiobooks? I don’t read much paper nowadays, but I still find time to listen to at least a book a month. All for free through my library!
Also, what book is it?
I tried, unfortunately I get shuffled between relatively solitary jobs and customer service on a moment’s notice. I think last time I tried I was listening to something gory and didn’t have time to pause it before helping a little kid find clothes. Sorry if I looked traumatized, kid.
I could probably find more opportunities to listen at home while doing chores and stuff, though. I have a tendency to want to take in fiction in big blocks of time instead small chunks split across the day, but it’s not always an option.
And the book is The Passenger by Cormac McCarthy! I picked it up kinda blind because I’ve had both friends and Lemmy users recommend books by him, but the library didn’t have any of the ones that were suggested to me.
Most of my listening is while commuting and chores, usually at least 15 minutes of listening for each. I would prefer to listen for at least an hour each session but my schedule doesn’t really allow for that.
I added that book to my holds list, only 13 hours! Thanks a bunch, I’ve never read anything by him!
