My book got its first professional review and it's positive.

Nice, bro, where is it?

A question on a worksheet I have for school:

"You’ve just installed a new search engine on her laptop. Now whenever she searches the Internet, she gets several pop-up windows directing her to websites to buy products. What do type of security threat do you have?"

George, they're onto us.

My dad might be buying a boat from a middle/lower tier Trump appointee in the Department of the Interior. Pretty interesting guy apparently.

My sincerest sympathies.  Boats are either a horrendous waste of money, a horrendous waste of time, or both.

His last boat was destroyed in the Hurricane, and he somehow got it fixed (with all the drama that also entailed), sold it, and is already buying a new one. I have no interest in boats, boating, or ocean fishing. It's a bigger waste of money, time, and energy than I could possibly ever desire.

I grew up on the side of the Intracoastal Waterway (the mainland side, unfortunately, but to quote Aunt Sarah, "I can see Al Haig's mansion from my house!") so boating has always been a fixture of my dads. No idea what is so fun about slowly cruising up a river having to wave at other white middle class people slowly cruising up a river, nor what is so great about going through the exceedingly rocky and dangerous Boynton Inlet to get thrashed around in a fiberglass boat on the Atlantic while my dad pretends to know what the hell he's doing. He ought to just stick to his restored 1960's semi-trucks and leave the boating to the younger yuppy types

At least he is having fun, albeit rather expensive fun.  Just so long as doesn't start using a National Geographic Map to plan an excursion to the Bahamas, he should be okay.

The iconic Bookmine burned down over the break. I'm terribly saddened ☹️

My grandma's last remaining sister just passed away. She's now the sole survivor out of 10 kids.

Condolences. My grandma also outlived her four brothers by quite a lot.

I'm sorry, man, is she doing ok?

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

My mom wants to buy a handgun for protection and I don't know how to tell her that I'm far more likely to kill myself if we have one on us and I get into one of my fatalistic episodes.  And I've been having more of those a lot lately.

I should probably be admitted somewhere, but our car's broke down and I don't know any place to go where I won't a) have to take a piss test b) be treated like I'm a deranged lunatic because that's what wards do to people.

I just don't know what to do at this point.  I'm afraid of myself now.  I feel like I'm losing control of everything and delaying the inevitable, and enduring all the consequences for it.

I might need to take a break from... everything.  I just want to sleep the pain away.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Scott, you matter so much to us - you're a all around great guy! Even though it feels you're losing control and are in what feels like an inescapably endless rut, you still have a whole community here that values and cares for you. We love you man, please don't do anything you'll regret

Dinosaurs is already a pretty good show, but it's infinitely more entertaining when you watch it at 4:00 in the morning.

I think I just really needed to rest for a couple days.  I feel a little better now, and I managed to talk to my mom about this gun thing.  She understood but still wants to own a long gun for protection against wildlife if we move to a remote area.  They're safer to have than handguns, so I said I would be all right with it.

Shortly before I went to sleep a couple nights ago, I experienced what was probably one of the worst panic attacks I have ever had in my life.  At that moment I had never been so devoid of the will to survive before.  I wasn't on any drugs.  I just lied in my bed and prayed... and felt the warmest, most loving embrace I have ever known in my life.  Then I slept, and slept for the next two days.

Scott, you matter so much to us - you're a all around great guy! Even though it feels you're losing control and are in what feels like an inescapably endless rut, you still have a whole community here that values and cares for you. We love you man, please don't do anything you'll regret

Thank you, Sanchez.

Just came back from a full day trip to grandma's hometown in the Świętokrzyskie Mountains for her last remaining sister's funeral.

Świętokrzyskie is a lovely area.

I just tried to invent a Latin word for mirror, and I have it narrowed down to: imito speculum or imago speculum. For the record, the reason I am doing so is because I want a new word for the “mirror test” for species. Any preferences between the two or other ideas?

Whats wrong with the old Latin word for mirror, which is just plain speculum? Why are you trying to reinvent the rota?

Currently at home for a few days because I have the flu.

And it's quite bad this time (but slowly getting better with the anti-biotics I'm taking right now).

I blame the sh*tty weather outside, which is absurd and unnatural for a January (extremely warm with 5-10°C, foggy and raining).

Yes, I'm still recovering from my flu, and the weather here is just scandalous as well.

Haha, as with most of the people on this forum that I find myself "arguing" with, I'm sure I'd get along just fine with almost anyone here in real life.  If you like to laugh and drink beer, that's like 80% of the battle right there!

Indeed. I got along fine with all the Bernie supporters in Philadelphia during the DNC, even Snowstalker!
