I’ve been playing a ton of stardew valley lately. I bought it for ever ago and just thought it was meh. But figured let me try it again maybe I just didn’t get into it and I was right because holy heck I’m hooked right now having a ton of fun and loving it. It’s such a cute little game I love it.

Right now I’m at the coffee and pajamas phase so like a 2.

Probably another century of nominating old white guys for president.

I do have those things and wish I could tell you that they do help. Fact is the feeling really doesn’t help or go away. The only thing that helps is not being home alone at night.

Real answer, in college the apartment I was living in was broken into by a neighbor and attacked my roommate. When I heard noise coming from his room I went to go check on him and the attacker turned on me and started to attack me. My injuries were far less severe from my roommate’s. Ever since then I can’t fall asleep unless I check all the doors to make sure they are locked even if I know it’s locked I’ll double check it before laying down for the night. At times when I’m alone in the house I can still get to sleep but it’s a restless sleep because of how uneasy I feel about being alone in a house at night. That shit sucks to never feel fully safe in your own home.

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami just a magnificent read, you probably couldn’t go wrong with any of his works.

Hey we’re birthday buddies! Same I was wondering if anyone else was going to post 9/11 in this thread, and here we are.

17th birthday, literally 9/11. I have never before seen such a sad rendition of happy birthday ever or since.

Advertising. I just hate how it’s crept into every facet of our lives and it’s not done intruding in on our daily lives either.

Ok here is my tin foil hat conspiracy that involves the reason for the Iraq war and Deep Water Horizon. Ok so America went to Iraq on behalf of oil interests, ranging from opec to US oil companies. Ok here we go, so Iraq was flooding then global markets with cheap black market oil to India, China and France. This caused gasoline prices to be lower across the globe as there was always oil to go around introducing an artificial surplus. After the start of war the surplus started disappear and global oil markets stabilized from no longer having a surplus countries and companies had to now buy oil from manufacturers raising the price as there’s a cap on how much oil can actually be produced. This of course meant gas prices in the US (and I assume abroad) would have to go up. When Deep Water Horizon happened the administration saw an opportunity to then raise gas prices to actually what it should be. After conversations moved on from Deep Water Horizon the US government just hope people wouldn’t notice that the price of gas was never going to come down again to what they were before Deep Water Horizon happened. And that is how deep water horizon is connected to the invasion of Iraq.
