Void War. It's as if someone made their own version of FTL and put a coat of Warhammer 40k paint on it. Super fun.

Not permanently but I still appreciate the counter-buffs when they get cast. :)

Is it strange I do sometimes think about things like that? Not all the time thankfully, but it is one of those 'what if?' scenarios that pop up now and then.

I appreciate the optimism; it definitely feels permanent because I'm in the thick of a rough patch right now, but your comment did remind me that all things change eventually. (It's a little boost of positivity if nothing else)

Another one I didn't know existed!

Sometimes when I'm randomly hit with an unexplainable negative emotion, I think of it in terms of having a permanent curse that just randomly debuffs me.

Kzzt! -10 Happiness

At this point someone needs to make the obvious church schism official and slap a new name on them. Would be mildly interesting to see how these people reacted to being branded official heretics and told to take their ball and go home.

Given the amount of people still proudly sporting Trump merch in the rural area I live, I do think he'd still win. I literally don't understand these people, the sheer lack of... anything. Awareness. Empathy. Self-preservation!?

The only person I vaguely know well enough to take a crack at why she's like this, is because she herself is a raging narcissist who wants to be special and feel special. So she aligns her views with the person who tells her "You're special!" and gives her that desperate validation. Morals become secondary to feeling good rather than being the source of it. It's incredibly sad.

Was in pain over the weekend and woke up mostly better!

I did flip my peripheral electronics, it's just my main computer I haven't changed yet. I made an attempt a while back ago but ran into enough snags, after already having a rough day, that I gave up and I haven't tried again since. I'm pretty sure I know what the problem is, I just haven't found myself wanting to sit down and burn the time it would take to install the new OS and get everything installed and tweaked how I like it etc. The latter part being a most-of-the-day project.

I will do it eventually though. I am sick of Windows. Now I just need to get over my fatigue and get off my ass.
