Update for Everyone VII: Insert Something Philosophical Sounding Here

[Fight for Trump]

I dread looking at my phone on Friday mornings and reading what drunk me said the night before. There needs to be a phone equivalent of an ignition interlock device.

Alcohol is bad. But life sucks so how else do we numb the pain?

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

I am a complete loser.  I'm turning twenty five in less than two weeks and I have no idea where I'm going, no structure whatsoever.  I don't have a purpose in life anymore.  Six years ago I was studying to become a priest or spiritual counselor, but now I don't have the drive or the confidence anymore.  I am nothing.  All day yesterday I was tripping on medications and since I don't have access to weed anymore I've recently taken up cigarettes.  Fortunately I don't have an addictive personality and quitting shouldn't be much of a challenge for me when the time comes, but I just want to be sedated all the time so that I don't feel the pain.

Every night I pray to God to restore my mental/spiritual health so that I can be on a better path and find my purpose, but I feel like God's abandoned me.  Maybe I don't have the faith I thought I did.  Everything in this world looks ugly to me.

I don't know.  I see people like Sanchez getting their lives in order and I can't help but feel a little envious.  I don't need to be rich, I just want a life of purpose.  Mental illness has made it impossible for me to be the best version of myself.  I have had to cope with these problems all my life, but at least before my dad died I felt like I had a path and a purpose.  I could overcome those hurdles and be able to improve my corner of the world.  Now I am nothing but a waste of space.

I understand now why people turn to dangerous vices like heavy drinking and heroin.  It shields you from the pain.  What shields me from that is a good combo of Lyrica, Xanax, and sleeping pills.  I don't want this to be the sum of my existence.  And I know I have nobody to blame but myself for not being more proactive and working to improve myself.

Sorry for the whiny therapy session; I just needed to vent.  Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

My life isn’t all great. I deleted Tinder forever after what happened today. I legit think I was about to get murdered.

The chick was a man in a dress and a wig. I made and deleted a thread about it. Most bizarre thing to ever happen in my entire life for sure, honestly I think it was a rape set up. I was never closer than ten feet from the cross dresser (I asked if he was trans, said “not exactly”) but I really just feel....spooked. It was an unnerving experience. I feel very stupid lol.

Scott, I was exactly in the same situation. I was forced by circumstances into a new chapter. Sometimes you don’t find purpose. More often, purpose finds you. That’s certainly what happened in my life.

my family hate me.

but also when my fiancee and I get married, have a child and build our own (superior) family, yes i believe that will help.

you know guys i don't really know a lot about politics and all, i'm basically an apolitical person who just listened to too many George W Bush speeches.

[I Can Now Die Happy]

In 365 days, we will be on the eve of election night 2020. A lot can change in that year, and I hope a lot changes in my life (I have high ambitions). I won't be here on a regular basis until after that date, if at all.

I will pop in from time to time if anything significant happens - for instance, if Biden flunks the primaries I'll pop in to say "I told ya so."

If my 2019 gubernatorial predictions turn out to be accurate, I'll pop in to say "looks like I was right and GOP's infrastructure and Trump's blessing was enough to overcome solid Democratic candidates who would have won if this weren't the Trump Era."

and so on and so forth

I'm going to miss talking to all of you.

No clue bro probably on accident and been trapped here since

I guess I'm not stupid, I'm just lazy.

All you need to do is hop on a tractor and then you will be really  #populist.

And ofc double my weight and select an American tractor like a John Deere and not one of them Mahindra's like the fam back in Punjab used. Other than that, I appear white enough to do the #populist wardrobe.

@Bagel23: you're taller than I expected and that Jon Tester outfit seems to fit you well, I recommend rocking it in college to attract the ladies

Anyway guys, as an Internet addict who keeps finding my way back, here are my last predictions. You can make fun of me if they end up being wrong.

Virginia House and Senate: will go D (I won't even bother researching the exact races in order to predict how much)

Louisiana: Rispone 51.5%, JBE 48.5%; however a JBE 50.1%, Rispone 49.9% result or something along those lines is decently possible; you could say it's between Lean R and Tilt R.

Kentucky: Bevin 51%, Beshear 47%, Libertarian 2%. However, there's a small chance for a Beshear 48.2%, Bevin 48.1%, Libertarian 3.7% style victory. You can say it's Lean R.

Mississippi: Hood can't seem to get beyond 45% in the Hickman Analytics(D) polls, ergo I rate it Likely R, possibly Safe. I predict a result similar to the 2018 MS-SEN Special race between Hyde-Smith and Espy. If you factor in that gubernatorial races can be less partisan, you can predict that Hood can mayyybe get up to 48%. I'd still predict something like 50% Reeves, 48% Hood, 2% Third Party. There exists the possibility that it'll be something more like 54% Reeves, 45% Hood, 1% Third Party. And you could even argue that it's possible that Hood will get less than 45%.

Right now the likeliest option for me is something like 53% Reeves, 46% Hood, 1%Third Party.

Edit: by the way I'll do my best not to pop in again until the Iowa Caucus results. Again, normally my 'internet addiction' wouldn't be a problem if I was content to have a regular life, but I yearn for something far more ambitious.

Edit2: Also my hot take for the Iowa Caucus this far out is that there is a decently greater chance of Warren+Buttigieg being in the Top 2 than Bernie+Biden being in the Top 2. Again, I don't have faith in those geezers.

Watched the first episode of His Dark Materials.

Lol dude thanks but I'm wanting to remain solo forever, and also I'm only like 5'10, it must just be the hair or shoes or cropping or camera angle etc.

So, um, I’ve made 25 posts today because I’m not holding back. Normally I don’t post ~1/2 of what I think on here, or I write up tons of posts and don’t post them. What do you guys think? Should I be more selective in my thoughts or say (almost) everything I think on here?

[You don't see any blue avatars now]

You know, I definitely have my issues, but at least I can take comfort in knowing that, despite the fact that my mental health is in the sh**tter, I'm not quite as crazy as Cole Turner from Charmed.
