Work is actually fine. They were actually very helpful and flexible when it came to my inability to work a full shift as a result of the vasectomy. They're not perfect, but I know CVS or Walgreens wouldn't care if I died on my feet at work.TheAmericanSpirit wrote: ↑1 year agoDude, for your own benefit, you need to build some work/life/recreation separation. It kinda defeats the purpose of fantasy escapism to carry all that stuff around all day, 24/7. It's not that you shouldn't hold strong convictions or whatever, but there's zip you can do about the shootings. You have a zilch amount of pull on the Supreme Court. No one's gonna give up their gas guzzlers, foreign vacations, or plastic tomorrow either, no matter what you do today.RxPhantom wrote: ↑1 year agoWith everything happening in the United States, as well as some personal things, I'm finding it very hard to care about Magic right now. Simultaneously, somehow, I really want to generate more discussion on Nexus generally. I'm not going anywhere, but I think I need a minute.
C'est la vie, focus elsewhere. No reason to be miserable on account of problems too big to be solved by you. Go take a walk with your kid. Go study that cool bug stuck between your window and the screen. Pretend to be an all powerful card flinging wizard with us for a few hours more.
It's very hard for me to look at the state of things through the lens of fatherhood and not let it get to me. I need my daughter to live in a world where she has full control over her own body. I need her to be safe and feel safe in school. I need facts to matter, and opinions to be fluid and mutable based on those facts.
The world, this country specifically, feels upside down.
