The Not Happy Thread

EDIT: I posted something similar in another thread, but I found out a roommate is taking food from my designated cupboard.

So I've taped a sticky note to it that says "(insert my name's) Cupboard" with a smiley face.

I know this because I found part of a wrapper on the kitchen floor that I *did not* leave there. I'm OCD, so I notice these things. In fact, I fucking KNOW these things. Whenever I eat those specific granola bars (which nobody else has, because I just fucking glanced through all the kitchen cupboards to double-check), I only open and eat them in my bedroom, in which I have my own mini garbage can. The only time I *EVER* eat them is when it's around midnight and I need a snack while I'm gaming. So I bring one back to my room *unopened* when I get a little hungry.

Reminds me of the time my friends and I got caught drinking in middle-school when my friend's dad realized there were 23 beers instead of 24. It was wild, but as a fellow sufferer of OCD, it makes perfect sense now.

Oh, the Afrika Corps is freaking ready, mein herr. Nothing escapes my mother-effing vigilance, Amerikanischer schweine.

I hate being Mister Nice Guy at first, because that makes me a target to get taken advantage of. Don't get me wrong, I get it. I've had those same urges. Oh, he won't miss this! But I will freaking miss it, asslicker. I *will* know if you take from me, whether it comes out to 5 pennies or 5 dollars. Get fucked.

Don't let it happen again. Or else I'm going to have to be an absolute dick. And you won't like that what-so-mother-effing-ever. Because I don't like that. Which makes it even worse.

Now I have all the reason in the world to replace my room's door-knob with one from Home Depot / Lowe's that has a lock-and-key. Break that trust in 6 seconds, have fun re-earning that trust over 6 months.

Fucker.

Uh, I mean, "This is my cupboard only. Thanks- Have a good day! "

 

July 4th will be a rough one. I'm pretty sure my town already cancelled their fireworks so all the more reason for people to blast shit off in their yards. It's definitely my dog's least favorite day.

It's also my birthday. And I'll be 30.

 

So alienated from myself, I rejoice there's much to find out about myself. If only the sadness of not knowing what I am made of would leave me.

 

• China’s basically taking over Hong Kong (https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/hong-kong-no-longer-has-autonomy-under-china-pompeo-says-n1215761?cid=sm_npd_nn_fb_ma&fbclid=IwAR3klACcw6d2-3BU7V9utgOt1b1JQi56NjB23JrXARoUiVnkKUkEzydaMr8)

• US death toll due to COVD-19 reaches 100,000.

• George Floyd murdered by a police officer.

I’m fucking done with the planet.

 

Might be a bit chilly, but Enceladus is nice I hear.
(I would have suggested Mars due to it bieng closer,
but it doesn't have an ocean of water.)

Yeah, I know the world is going bonkers right now,
but things will be ok.

 

Should check out Mercury, then. Far closer and just a tad warmer in some places, with glaciers worthy of a ski holiday in others.

 

We went to yakiniku on Friday and found they'd stripped the menu down quite a ways. Cut the price down as well (or more accurately they were only offering the "standard course") which made it alright, and they slipped a couple of slices of the good stuff from the old "excellent course" into the first plate. Probably doing the same thing you are.

Google image of yakiniku, not the one I went to most recently:

 

My first job was at Taco Bell in the 80s, I'm no stranger to that kind of math.

 

I am so full of angst today. Melancholy angst. I just want to go climb into the sky.

But I'll settle for watching the sun rise tomorrow morning.

 

Ground beef is like 8-9$ a pound, wtf?!

 

I say we let the cows rot. Snake steaks! BBQd wild porkers! There's an epidemic 65 million running around the nation. Can't throw a fork these days without spookin one!

 

One of the few benefits of being "not white" is that I don't need a license to have a go at these deadly, walking buffets.

 

People worship this animal in my country. You worry about the price of its meat going up. What is this world I live in?

 

To be fair their beliefs have been around an extremely long time,
and for them it works. Who are we to question a peoples belief in
worshiping something sacred to them?
I would say you live in a place with a rich religious history going
back at least 5000 years. Kinda a neat place with some interesting
ideas on the societal level.

 

They will lynch you if you are at the right (wrong?) place. I am not sure if you would like to go that way.

 

Seems like a real 'Home, run!' type of moment.

Get it?

I'll show myself out.

 

I want to quit my job and join the protests.

 

We see cattle mostly in clamshell packaging or paper-wrapped in McDonalds it's true, but then in some parts of the world cats and dogs are food, whereas we worship them. Not in the religious sense, but in the sense of venerating them as pets and definitely not eating them or killing them unless necessary.
