What a dumb fucking toddler. Reading Obama’s memoir right now, I’d forgotten what a proper president sounds like. It’s fucking refreshing.

I can't say I ever pictured you for having much interest in LGBT issues, so I'm guessing you missed it. I read the section in question. To me, if felt more like hetero cis-male ignorance that an editor should have caught, rather than the overt trans bigotry, say, JK Rowling shows. It probably wouldn't ruin the book for me, but overall the reviews for this one seem pretty lackluster compared to its predecessor. I'll probably pass on it for that reason. I still need to read the first book, though. I've heard it's really good.

I'll go with bad takes for $500, Alex.

Weird, because I'm seeing it get slammed for some transphobic scenes. I still haven't read the first book, though it's been on my Kindle for four years. Started Unspeakable Things by Jess Lourey on my Paperwhite last night.

Game crashed twice on me last night in less than 3 hours. Some areas run fine, but I got into one town where my frame rate dropped to the 20s and I went underground there and it dropped to 15FPS.

Reading Leave the World Behind by Rumaan Alam. It was BOTM pick and I thought it sounded interesting when I picked it. I've seen most BOTM users bashing it, but I felt like I should give it a shot, plus it's really short. I'm already over halfway and I started this morning. I don't hate it...but his writing isn't my style, really, and it's pretty vague. But I'm gonna finish it.

I watched both movies for the first time last month. I don’t know how I missed out when I was a kid. They were pretty fun.

I got to England last night. Ready to play more this weekend. It’s playing reasonably well on my PC. I updated my drivers and that helped a ton. I’m downscaling you 1080p for a better frame rate, so it’s not ideal, but it’s playable. Really want a new GPU.

That’s super kind of you, but you really don’t have to. But if you’re feeling the giving spirit, I’ve been contemplating buying Metro Exodus or the Mafia remake on Steam during this sale or the holiday sale. But I don’t wanna sound like a beggar, so don’t feel you need to.

Not all patients are bad, but the bad ones are the ones you remember the most. But, yeah, overall most people are dumb and shitty.

Maybe I'll win one of these days.

Scum.

Sometimes, but I’m definitely feeling the burnout after 10 years of med-surg. I think I need to try cardiac. I get so many shitty, abusive, stupid patients. People just do not like to show appreciation. I lost a patient a couple weeks ago. Should have gone straight to critical care but they sent her to us. 45 year old who injected meth in her breast and went septic. Hands and feet purple. Couldn’t get a line in her and spent an hour trying to while she screamed and cursed and puked on us. What a way to spend your final hours of life. Had a 50 year old the last couple nights who kept taking apart his peritoneal drain and leading ascites everywhere. He also felt the need to dismantle everything else in his room from his phone to his bedside table. He went home on hospice today. It’s just exhausting at times.

I’ll put up my tree this weekend. It’s not a big tree or anything and I put mostly Peanuts and video game ornaments on it. I have a few small trinkets I display on my fireplace mantle and I’m pretty excited this year because my friend from work made me a Christmas wreath and I should be getting it in a few days. She’s already done a Halloween and a Red Sox wreath for me.

Yep, my Mamaw was watching Newsmax while I visited last week.

Um, how does this help them?

It's been years since I read a James Patterson book. I got burned out. I will always have a fondness for The Jester, though. Man, I'm at 84 books completed on the year. My previous record was 70 last year. Obama's memoir is instantly addictive, but I know it'll take me a bit to read it. I'm gonna start Warriors of the Storm by Bernard Cornwell for my next fiction. Really want to get through this series and read some of his other books.

I dunno. I've never known her to be particularly political and like I said, she always watched CNN and ABC before.

I saw his mom on Tucker last Thursday when I visited my Mamaw. She used to watch CNN. While I was there I saw her with Fox and Newsmax on.

I'm going to start this tonight. I'm worried about how it'll perform on my 980. Fuck this GPU supply situation.

Reading Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys. Also going to start A Promised Land by Barack Obama. Really been looking forward to the first of his memoirs.

Stardew Valley is awesome. I put 77 hours in the Steam version. Haven't played it in ages, but when it came out, I was obsessed.

I was looking forward to reading this thread. Damn you all.

@Ominous?

I think it was 2017. No later than 18.
