So much for denying evolution.

You underestimate their ability to reconcile. They've agreed that microevolution exists since the Kent Hovind days but claim macroevolution does not. No science uses those words or makes that distinction.

Sure yall can laugh but its still my dad <<

Hes nearly 70 and still goes out plenty. I have no idea how he hasnt gotten it already. I wish hed just get vaccinated but hes a huge Trump conspiracy theorist.

My dad says he is never getting the vaccine. He's really old. Can someone tell me if he's gonna be okay? <<

My dad still hasn't gotten the vaccine yet. How likely is he to be okay?

My father refuses vaccination which makes me not wanna be around him but what else can I do cause what if he really died he's almost 70.

I mean at this point it's just obvious that when Dem's get in power their goal is 'put a republican back in power' since they work for them.

yeah whenever Loki interacts with the old avengers in future films it'll definitely be acknowledged somehow that he's a variant who didn't experience the movies passed Avengers 1

Very similar situation with Gamora going forward.

If characters that were dead show up in a multiverse movie people will just assume they're from a different dimension, right?

Stannis was boring as shit. Never understood the hype. They could have put a potato in his place and everyone could have said how much they respect him and not much would have changed. Without Davos standing beside him being great and constantly talking about how honorable, just, and strong convictions he has you would have never known! What is his like second scene? Being manipulated like a weak-willed loser with no strong convictions into breaking his vows to his wife and cheat on her, then instead of facing Renly in battle he does the most underhanded, cowardly, non-honorable, totally against his previously established strong convictions backstab in the world using demon magic. He's just yet another generic evil bald dude lusting for power the only difference is Davos keeps assuring us he's got all this amazing character strengths that just aren't present in the actual text/show at all. Show us don't tell us. He had conviction enough in the Seven to cut off dudes fingers but throws it all away in two seconds like a flip-flopping jellyfish. Every scene more interesting people talk around him while hes just quiet looking like hes about to cry. Stannis did everything he didnt want to do and still lost. Im glad he got murdered by someone with actual honor who never wavered. But even that was unsatisfying.

They should have a big anti-cop Punisher story... but they won't.

Pronouns are they/them

I mean didn't we have worse?

Can you imagine Trump having the smartest person in the world brought to him and then stepping down because he was more qualified for the job?

Aww I liked the brief resurgence of Mass Effect.

I miss her too.

I normally don't post in these kind of things and I don't know if this is what you want to hear but this is my advice.

Continue your normal life but dedicate almost all of your free time to learning a practical skill with job opportunities that you don't need a college degree (my advice would be coding). Just do it for 3-6 months until you feel like you understand the basics. Then just start interviewing like crazy until you find something, anyone that will take you in at an entry level. Once your in you can get experience and learn on the job until you are actually good enough to get an entry level position easily and then your set.

An entry level coding position will easily pay more than whatever else you can find. I won't say this path will be easy (learning coding is hard for some, not so bad for others but it really depends how much free time you have. Finding a job may be tricky). But honestly I think you just need a drastic change so that you at least have hope it will get better

Coding? It's interesting that you say that because I recently attended a few amateur coding classes I was offered. I'm quite savvy in a lot of technical issues but I don't have any sort of certification to that effect and that's basically all jobs usually care about. Is that not the case with coding work? I wouldn't even know where to start looking for a coding job. But thank you so much for the practical advice.

To the rest of you who posted, thank you all so much for boosting me up some. I was in a really bad spot when I posted this and, while it isn't much better, I'm at least trying to feel better and these replies helped immensely.

*shoots at this guy till he is dead*

Involuntarily manslaughter?

God whats even the point of talking politics at this point. Theyre just openly corrupt and do whatever they want at this point with barely a justification. We literally cant do anything but be outraged about it time and time again. It all seems so pointless.

I wonder when things in my life will ever turn around or if its too late for that and this is the course of my life. Im going to BlogFAQs and I dont know why. Im just so lost, melancholic and full of regrets. If Ive ever had a fight with you on here its probably because Im a deeply unhappy person and its a good way to distract myself for a little while. Ill probably be embarrassed to post this later.

I had a horrible home life growing up. I always figured Id be a good parent because you couldnt do much worse. My mom and dad finally went through a horrible divorce after a horrible marriage from the time I was sixteen till I was freshly 18. Dad kicked mom out of the house and for a slew of other issues kicked me out too. At least I graduated High School but it was from a crappy Christian Academy where they taught nothing. I was in my first year of college on student loans. Around the same time my partner wasnt able to continue staying at their home so I figure two birds one stone and we got a place together. I had to drop out of college due to having to get a job to support us and thats history. The student loans also wanted that money back which I hadnt counted on. I took odd jobs for years surviving paycheck to paycheck just getting by. Warehouses, restaurants, manual labor, tech support, janitor, if its low class Ive done it. I eventually reconciled with my dad a little but now hes basically infirm. My mom I saw little of after she left but I saw her a few times before she died of a massive overdose.

Just like my parents Ive struggled with crippling addiction off and on just to deal with how bleak things are. But I found a job working for this restaurant six years ago and it was going well. Ive basically done every job in that place slowly working my way up from a wage of $8.75 to $11 over time. I worked for that man so long I even moved closer and started renting a house directly from him. It seems cruel that I never received a check where my wage was $11 because right after that the COVID Pandemic happened. And it was a struggle. Of course my job shut down. My landlord/boss told me Id have my position back once all this was over and did some remodeling to the place. At the time we had no idea how long it was gonna last.

Ive been without a car for a few years and thats kinda required for life. Especially in the Deep South where theres no public transportation whatsoever and its basically a barren hot wasteland here. Id do anything to leave this state but Ill probably just waste away here forever. Anyway, I got a car and had to take care of my infirm dad and my disabled partner. Ive been looking for a job for a while but it all just seems so bleak for lack of a better term.

My boss/landlord had assured me that when the restaurant reopened it would be a palace since as late as last month. But he just told me that its never reopening. It didnt survive the pandemic. And that was just such a slap in the face. All that time I worked there, walked there, learned how that place worked, and slowly earned several various raises finally up to a meager $11 an hour. All useless now. And what am I going to do? Find another odd job, start over at like McDonalds, work menial labor in a warehouse again?

Im 34 and have done nothing with my life. Nothing I can be proud of. I didnt finish college and all Ive ever done is struggle. I wanted to have kids someday when I was more financially stable. Thats a laugh because it just never happens. I blew through what savings I had in the first months of pandemic before the stimulus or unemployment kicked in. So fast. The stress of the pandemic has probably ended my relationship that Ive been in my entire life. My dad is infirm and needs constant care. And I look around and wonder why. What could I have done differently. I have nothing and nobody. No prospects for the future, no chance of getting a better job than the menial drudgery of a barely surviving check to check pay at some hellhole again where I can just dissociate and wake up eight years later and realize that that money came as quick as I got it and I have nothing to show for it. And I should be happy to find even a job like that thatll take me at my age with no skill, no talent, no anything but my slowly breaking down body that I never had enough money to maintain. No certification that I can do anything anyway and thats all that matters in this world. Its been a really crazy ride sometimes but now more often than not Im thinking about getting off the ride. I wonder what could be next for me. I always think theres going to be good times ahead eventually but now I wonder when. Was I really just deluding myself for years just to keep going and to what end. Everything Ive ever done seems like a waste of time, time Ill never get back, time when other people were somehow making it work and I was barely coping with poverty or my own mental issues. Its so unfair even tho that sounds like whining. Everything in the world seems to be trending towards getting worse. Everyone I know is having a hard time.

Even two of my pets died within days of each other. Two pets that we got together around the same time fifteen years ago when we first moved into a ramshackle place together. That was about a week and a half ago and it was devastating. Those pets have been like my kids in lieu of actually having kids. They were just old and Ive been cuddling my next oldest a lot. But its like god we were together so long that my pets lived out a natural lifespan. I loved them so much. Ive been crying nonstop. And I couldnt have gotten through it without my partner or ex-partner or whatever we are. But I dont know if thats enough to erase the baggage and the stress thats been on our relationship lately.

Im sorry. I dont even know why I posted what turned out to be a rant. I just wanted to be heard I guess. Im so stressed and chronically depressed. Hope someone out there is having a good life.

I dunno about yall but I live paycheck-to-paycheck and have never been in possession of an amount near $4000 despite how much I use my eyes.

Jesus thats an insane amount of money.

I wish things like Legion survives and joins you but only if you pick solely the Geth and they only have to sacrifice themselves if you pick peace or, well, executed by Tali. Things should have been more mutually exclusive like that.

There was no real good ending which is an interesting idea if any of the endings were still in any way satisfying.

If you keep eating shit sandwichs it doesn't make them stop putting in shit. You get used to the shit taste which allows them to continue to increase the amount of shit till it's completely shit.

Its not that big of an upheaval. If youre able to heavily invest in bitcoin you werent poor to begin with.

Oh yeah, I remember loving Kaiden's story about the turian.

"At least she looks like a woman", "we have to make nice with the bug-eyed freaks?"; I feel like Ashley is worse than 90% of the xenophobes you meet that you mention. Even the Terra Firma party as horrible as they probably are don't say stuff like straight off the bat. I wanted a turian to be like we should have finished the job with humanity or you're gonna make me lose my lunch or something instead of just being a little rude.

There should have been 100% more human/turian animosity in general which would have made the Garrus/Shepherd relationship even better.

Never understood why they changed her in Mass Effect 3. If anything, it just made her even worse and didn't fit her established tomboy character, either. They didn't change Kaiden.

Dont you know that crime is just a thing for the poors.

Playing it over I dont think the Ashley stuff has aged well. I remember her as being a little quirkily racist but shes actually genuinely horrible.

Haven't seen a bad musical

I just don't like Rosalina

Yeah my Colonist Shepherd wasn't called the Butcher of Torfan in the first game for nothing.

Yeah what

I def wouldn't recommend it but I was using peacock as a guilty pleasure to watch really old Sliders lol

Bold Prediction - Nothing will happen to them still

Well its just because being jokingly misogynist attracts genuine misogynists that swarm your comment section being truly horrible on a post about getting women to go to culinary school it wasnt just about the initial bad joke although that is stupid. Its not dumb to be pissed about those comments.

I think it's a deer thing cause they like sugar too

Sounds like someone needs a confidence boost! I enjoy your posts =)

Really? I'm surprised i'd even be known from one post to another. But thank you! Thank you so much. It's honestly really great for someone just to be nice.

It was a really good game and I liked it a lot.

Im not one of the important Board 8ers so I wouldnt make my own topic but my relationship of nearly fourteen years is ending but were so intertwined in every aspect of our lives that well still be living together for a while. It was about as amicable as it could be. June is also the anniversary of when my mom passed away so going into it with all this other stuff is a huge challenge. I just wanted to say hard relate and Im sorry for what your going through.

Not sure but Season 17 or maybe even 19 was probably the last time it was any good.

Don't worry, I understand having emotions. It's just a testament to it being a really good show with some difficult subject matter.

I feel like Mass Effect 2 would be a lot shorter without Kasumi and Zaheeds missions

I don't side with either.

I've never liked the media nor the emphasis on the media in sports.

But players sign a contract as far as sports goes that media availability is mandatory. We can't put them on a pedestal above that contract, but players are also free to walk away if they need to.

Part of why players get paid so much is to interact with the media and give the talking heads their content. I can't put the blame on an organization for holding someone to a contractual obligation, and I can't put the blame on her for prioritizing her mental health.

It's dickish, but sports leagues are well within their rights to pressure the players, who are well within their rights to walk away. There are no "sides" here.

She's paying the fines, doing what the contract said would be the penalty if she didn't do it. The issue is the banning and the harassing of her for it on top of that which def wasn't in the contract.

Whats hard to understand about they may be incorrect but theyre still in power over us so what next exactly
