    I feel like a potluck wedding is just begging to have your reception drowning in green bean casserole* and nothing else.

    I hate my job oh my God I hate my fucking job. I got "promoted" to a new department where I work with wire. And by "work" I mean get slapped, stabbed, sliced, burned and whipped by metal wire that's about the same diameter as a pencil. It fucking hurts. Plus I can't get my not insignificant pay raise because there hasn't been enough people available to train me on the 3 different posts I have to certify on to get said raise.

    I still don't know what I'm doing so to overcompensate (because I have to be perfect all the fucking time) I work myself into the ground. On top of that I've been getting up at 4 am to go to the gym and then work for 12 or 13 hours. I'm trying to keep on top of my art and date because apparently I just want to actually go insane.

    I'm trying to set something up with this girl and texting is bad and confusing and I'm starting to question if I even give a shit about dating and shouldn't just ghost out and call it a wrap. It's not like I've got time for any of this and maybe I'm just going through the motions because I think I need to? Is it worth it, really? Maybe I should just launch my fucking phone and various dating apps into the goddamned ocean?

    I dunno. I'm having a bad day. I got stabbed in the face and beat around the head and had to do all this extra, absurdly physical shit and then managed to get industrial grade soap in my eye in the shower as a final fuck you from the universe.

    .... what do you do?

    I work for a very large tire manufacturing company where I take raw wire, draw it down to a semi finished state where it can then be turned into tringles, which are the metal wires inside the tire tread that you should hopefully never ever see.

    Basically I have to handle very stiff, sharp, curly wire all day and you make one wrong move and the fucker will snap back into your face like a goddamned cobra.

    Do they not give you those sexy dentist face guards?

    Lol no.

    Anyway, in love-ish news: Bumble continues to just be a swell ole company.

    I just delete the app. I do that a lot...

    I had a date about two weeks ago where at the end of it, we are talking about politics. She is liberal as am I, and I mention something about truth not being truth anymore for a lot of people. I offhandedly mention conspiracy theories being believed by powerful people, and the moon landings being fake. Well, turns out she believes the moon landings were faked.

    I almost accepted a second date because I am that fucking lonely. She was quite attractive and fun. In her last message to me, where I politely declined going out again, she said "We'll never know if they happened." which, I dunno, I think we do?

    Dating!

    As of late I don't like talking about politics as finding out people are fascist is kind of sad. Also finding out since I have talked about how I got back into 40k the silly geese are really well known in the area

  • GvzbgulGvzbgul Registered User regular
    Moon landing being faked is a fairly common belief, like the JFK conspiracies. I wouldn't think too much of it (they clearly haven't).

    The best-worst thing about moon landing deniers is that most of them - not the card carrying ones, but your casual "we didn't go to the moon,"-ist people - are absolutely right about the trustworthiness of the government in general and human nature, just wrong about the general competence of mankind when we actually make an effort. That second bit is a weirdly common component of conspiracy thinking generally that just doesn't click for me.

    I think the only relative I'll have issues with is my Mother. Hes a mess on a good day and shes already called me drunken crying several times in the past month to state that "My baby boy is getting married" and she wants me to do a dance with her to this song she has decided is my song and also she wants to be acknowledged, and also fuck my father and my sister is a bitch.

    At my sisters wedding she asked me to be on "Mom duty" and I did ok! My mom did put a cigarette burn in my rented suit jacket, and she cried a lot but she didn't make a scene, though one of the groom's guests did sexually assault her and was escorted out by police!

    I asked my sister to be on "Mom duty" for my wedding and she just said "Fuck no".

    It’s become pretty typical for me to do a brunch potluck for my birthday. I hate the hassle of going out and figuring out the check and this way there are more people that can mingle and come and go as they please.

    The food and drinking situation works out pretty well.

  • AistanAistan Tiny Bat Registered User regular
    So in Bumble the past couple days i've been seeing people who have, in addition to their written bio, a list of statistics. Like political leaning, religion, height, has/wants/doesn't want kids, drinks, smokes, etc. Stuff like that. I can't see the option to fill those things out in my profile though? Is it something only available to a few people as they test it or am I missing an update on the app or what's going on? I'd like to have that information there.

  • JayKaosJayKaos Registered User regular
    I've seen the same thing and can't figure out how to fill it out. Seems too common to be just the paid accounts or anything.

    Same. I was tryna figure this out today.

  • AistanAistan Tiny Bat Registered User regular
    Oh it's a mac only feature right now. Android coming later.

    They also say there's a web version but the instructions say to click sign in on their web page to use it and there's nothing that says sign in.

    Today, I am off work with shitty ills

    Anyway my gf called me to make sure I was okay and tell me about her morning and keep me from going crazy stuck inside all day (which she knows I do)

    I've never had a partner who does that kind of thing and it really touched me. Long distance is tough but this is the best relationship I've ever been in, it makes me so happy, and hopefully at some point we'll be closer geographically. But even without that, it's really great to be with her!

    I wish I knew what that was like.

    My ex never cared when I was feeling icky or depressed. she thought I was just being negative. or trying to avoid her or something?

    Like the night of the election when I cried in her arms and she thought I was being ridiculous. that's probably where things were clearly broken from that point forward.

    reload bumble on your phone and the profiles that swiped right on you will be given a higher priority. If they are not the first profile that pops up they will be among the first 5-10.

    This goes out the window if they swiped right but are no longer within your area.
