      I don’t want to care about the US midterms. I’m not even American nor do I live there.

      But the stuff I read on the interwebs pisses me off, more so because it’s a race at all and without even the outcome at this point. So while I’d rather shrug it off I must admit I do care after all, which also annoys me.

        @Arkandel I voted early this morning and the polls are PACKED, unexpectedly so I guess because there were a lot of startled faces.

          @crawfish I hope things turn out well.

          But I was so sure Brits would do the obviously right thing with Brexit, too, and that went down super well too. 🙂

            Don’t get on Twitter. I’m fairly certain that is the major reason that has explained my current emotional and mental state at the moment is because I’ve read a lot of hateful things.

            I’ll stop now before someone thwaps me for veering too political.

              Don’t mean this to be dismissive to your feelings or good intentions at all, but…oof, at this point, give us another decade like this one (or dare I say even another five years) and I legitimately don’t think this country will look the same on maps anymore. 😬

              I’ve never considered becoming an expat so seriously, and I really wish it was easier/cheaper.

                I recommend Costa Rica. That’s where I’m trying to get in five years.

                  Come to Canada for the snow and the freezing cold, stay for the Raptors and poutine options!

                    Just good advice in general. Especially for mental health.

                        I have completely lost my voice. (I think from the mother of all sinus infections.) This means that when I do try to speak it comes out as the quietest of whispers.

                        Then everyone who is trying to speak to me speaks in a whisper, and then I can’t hear them!

                        I swear, I’d speak in a normal tone of voice if I could!

                        (Upside, the 5th grader who volunteered to be my ‘voice’ got a kick out of it.)

                          It’s November 4 in the northern hemisphere and it’s so hot my computer’s fan keeps kicking on to cool the machine down.

                                The only sound use of Twitter at this point is to roast marshmallows on its flaming carcass.

                                Let it die. Or become the next Livejournal, heh.

                                I woke up feeling so good, I think I’d better call in sick/ I need a personal trainer to help me hold my drink
                                I plan to be spontaneous next time we meet/I’m putting off procrastinating until next week
                                I’ll get onto it when I give a shit

                                  I don’t think this is appropriate for the RL Peeves thread because watching Twitter crumble has been pure joy for me. I suppose some people might feel differently…

                                    A lot of artists make it their living by way of Twitter and are currently panicking about losing their livelihoods, so it can definitely fall under peeves!

                                      @BurnNotice While still being sympathetic to this. Hope their dedicated fans refollow them on a saner platform.

                                        @BurnNotice That’s fair. I hope they find a replacement platform quickly and seamlessly.

                                          Ended up in the ER last night after not being able to keep down liquids, turns out it was most lively a reaction to the codine cough syrup the Urgent Care gave me.

                                          General consensus from the ER and my doctorate-in-nursing sister in law is that the Urgent Care is fucking stupid for jumping straight to an opioid medication rather than doing something more gentle first.

                                          Still have all the nice viral symptoms of coughing, general pain, post-nasal drip. But I can eat and drink again without tossing them up.

                                          So win? Even though they recommended I stay home from work for a WEEK. I doubt my ability to do that.
