God, I hope the country lasts at least until I earn my Associates degree
It won't mean anything then, I mean it doesn't mean a whole lot on it's own anyway, but at least I'll be able to tell future generations about this "college" thing I went to
I feel like I've wasted the last 24 completely due to these construction/demo noises in the apartments bordering mine. I mean mother of christ, it's fucking so loud. And yesterday they were here from 8am to 4:45pm. Please kill me.
Every distraction I have makes it harder for me to get any work done on my portfolio, which I need to continue doing so I can get a job before my lease runs out here. And then last night the fire alarm in the hallway started loudly chirping every 30 seconds. All. Fucking. Night. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Had the same chirpy alarm bullshit here the other night. Although I traded the construction noise for living across the road from an autoshop that (at least used to) specialise in mufflers. Which is fun.

Because the pistols I already carry under my left arm, in the right side of my waistband, and on both ankles don't make me feel like enough of a man yet.

A Minnesota company has invented a handgun that folds up to look just like a smartphone.
The .380-caliber pistol, called Ideal Conceal, will be available later this year and "will be virtually undetectable because it hides in plain sight," Ideal Conceal says on its website.
In locked position, the two-shot plastic gun with a metal core can be discreetly slipped into pockets, like a real phone. But "with one click of the safety it opens and is ready to fire," Ideal Conceal claims.
The creator, Kirk Kjellberg, told NBC News the idea came to him after he attracted attention for carrying a concealed weapon in a restaurant.
"A boy spotted me in the restaurant and said loudly, 'Mommy, Mommy, that guy's got a gun!' And then pretty much the whole restaurant stared at me," he said.
So black people can't have a phone without giving the police the out "That phone might have been a gun"?
Alternate answer: Now the police can confiscate phones on the off chance they might actually be guns.
Anyway, I'm mad today because some jackass(es?) broke into many of the storage units at my condo, including my own.
Fortunately, I didn't have anything of any value stored in mine, just empty plastic storage totes that I used for moving, but I'm still pissed that I have to replace the padlock.
Just, a shit thing to have to deal with when I'm trying to get to work.
Also, I just realized they stole my backup windshield washer fluid. That's gonna cost me a buck, a buck fifty to replace.

Ugh, getting gas in NJ. I mean, I'll do it since it's cheaper than getting gas in NY. But I can pump my own gas, really, I can. Stop making me wait for a dude.
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing

I'm hungry because I'm trying to eat healthier and cut back on my portions.
Everyone is trying to get me to break my healthiness by offering me sweets and shit and it's pissing me off. I don't get why that's acceptable, but I gotta be nice.
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me
That gun sounds like it would be good for shooting someone in the face across a card table and absolutely nothing else
also for giving yourself instant tinnitus
edit: I'm currently mad about people being willfully ignorant about anything that might challenge their political views, to the point where I'm tired of being the "good" side that loses to shitty tactics and wish I could just resort to face-stabbing, since literally nothing would actually change minds.

It's really stupid for a concealed self-defense weapon, because you have to fold the thing around like a fucking transformer toy before you can fire it, good luck fumbling through that procedure in the dark while a mugger is stabbing you.
It is for sneaking a gun into places where you are not meant to have a gun, and shooting someone when you hold some sort of an advantage over them (i.e: the element of surprise). Only two shots does not make for many follow up shots if you miss, so you want to be the one that fires first.

They almost never shoot the owner of a vehicle while they're being carjacked, completely missing the carjackers, and then collect their shells before fleeing the scene.

Only the people who currently benefit the most from the current status quo have the luxury of being polite. Anyone who wants to change it doesn't have the luxury of simply blindly following very old concepts of politeness. But you can't "look angry" or people will call you shrill or a bully (depending on outward appearance of gender), and you can't be disruptive because people will declare that by being disruptive you don't belong in that setting. So even if you're a person who the dominant rulemakers say shouldn't get an equal share in society, or if you're a person who's part of a marginalized group, or if you're part of a group that's being killed through passivity and lack of caring you're still expected to smile as these people attempt to crush you out of existence.
When they release the dogs on you, you better smile, because if you try to defend yourself you're going to get labeled as the bad guy.
$500 later for the truck to still not be fixed and you want 600 more? Hell no. this truck is 21 years old. The new tires are it's most valuable part. You bet your ass I want to speak to a manager about this bill for something you didn't fix.

I hate the MBTA (Boston's transportation company). Back in October of last year they sent me two tickets for some parking that I already paid through their parking app. So I appealed the tickets and paid the remainder and of course they consider the appealed tickets paid, so they reject the appeal and then I face a late fee in December for the other tickets that weren't paid. So then I appeal the late fee saying it was paid, and of course they just sent another one saying "not paid". No more appeals unless I want a hearing which is bullshit for a $10 late fee and now I just have to suck it up and yet they keep bleeding me with a thousand cuts.
FUCK YOU MBTA

If someone didn't use logic to get where they are currently, logic is not going to be the thing that will change their mind.
(I think I read that here, actually.)
agreed. So what's the solution.
so far my list is "face-stabbing" or "lock them in a matrix-type virtual reality where they think they're still in power"
I think i'm just going to try to avoid news and lie around the floor with my dog sitting on me. maybe forever.
I'd say protest and vote in elections to change the status quo, but not enough people feel that particular burning desire, as evidenced by the current political situation.

Why would they make that?
So I can have my gun out but would-be muggers just think I'm on my phone

Man we already live in that world.
Annnnnd my personal "can we just not have guns anymore please" meter moves another notch to the yes.

they certainly never hit innocent bystanders.

they just don't give a shit about facts
in GOOD news, my car is ok .... I was just (apparently) leaking oil =P
I'm mad because I looked through it and holy shit I was terrible.
they'd be factists then
(I think I read that here, actually.)
this actually doesn't make me mad at all
I mean, the powers that be in North Dakota literally tried to make this exact thing happen last year.
fortunately it didn't work.

Plot twist, were just NPCs in Trump's matrix.
FUCK YOU MBTA
grrrrrrrr
good, let's Westworld this motherfucker
change how they define the world, break down their fear-based emotional response loop.
So.... wait until they die off?
