    My mom won’t stop continually trying to cure her type 1 diabetes with every conceivable bullshit product known to mankind, assured by God and stubbornness that it can be done. Most of it, she hides from her doctor.

    This week it’s mushroom coffee. Last month it was CBD pills. Usually always from Facebook ads. I give her a lecture every time. She ignores it every time. It’s basically all she spends he money on and you can’t tell her not to. Sometimes it isn’t even an online product and I’ll find every salt container in the trash can.

    we don’t eat salt anymore, it’s the problem

    Then I have to wrestle all of it back out, explain the history of cooking from 2000 years to now and why is important then ask who on earth told her that.

    Every. Single. Week and she falls for it every single time. Ugh.

    My partner stresses too much with work and I wish I could help more. But all I can do is give comfort and urge to at least let things go when at home.
    Any practical advice is always brushed off, which I can understand. Sometimes you just need to vent and I don’t mind listening about what happened this time. I just hate seeing them like this, it does make me worry a bit about their health.

    I’m frustrated with all of my friends and acquaintances who claimed they’d love to play D&D some day, yet can never seem to find a group to join.

    I’m a DM and I have a brand new campaign starting tomorrow. I’ve been putting out announcement for almost two months now, and those same people are making excuses or ghosting me.

    I have the game location, the maps, the miniatures, spare books & dice, and I’m rather adept at teaching new people. I’m just short on people who actually want to play.

    I keep noticing more and more of Chumbawamba’s discography being greyed out on Spotify but no one else seems to and I can’t find an announcement or anything

    Finally have some time off of my jobs this weekend. I’m so tired, my body hurts, the shit to do around the house has piled up literally. I’m gonna have to figure out a way to afford to quit one of my part time jobs, it’s to much and I want to play more video games.

    Gonna drop acid this weekend and play video games in the basement and think about my future. No alcohol during the trip this time, only weed. Afterwards, I’ll start picking up the pieces of my life. I always seem much more focused for a couple weeks after a trip.

    We had the same ISP at home for about 16 years. Internet runs over copper cable along with the landline phone service.

    On April this year they sent a letter saying they are deprecating copper lines and switching everything to optic fiber, but for some reason our neighborhood is not getting it so they were supposed to terminate the contract and stopping their services on April 2025.

    But they did that past Wednesday, all of a sudden, without notifying us whatsoever. They are not answering why are doing this either. On Wednesday I called them to ask what was going on and they told me they were going to reconnect on Thursday morning, but at 4:00 pm it was still the same. Called them again and said they were not reconnecting us because fuck you.

    So I can’t visit most of the web right now and I fear I might be booted from the WFH job. The couple of things I use frequently that are still working somehow are Feedly and Lemmy. Tried to switch DNS addresses at the router trying to circumvent this to no avail.

    Heading to the nearest library in a couple of hours to talk with my boss.

    My country and now every country around my country has decided they want hardcore extreme right politicians running the country. These politicians are winning on blatant misinformation and unrealistic promises.

    I’m literally surrounded by morons.

      Oh. Same. And as always, most of the left are fighting against each other. With the added bonus that now the parties in the middle also try to do right wing politics.

        Parties in the “middle” have always done right wing politics. There is no political center, those are just right wingers that don’t want to admit it or feel superior because they “listen to both sides”.

    Slept at a sweet girl’s place yesterday. I think I want to take it further, but I don’t know what she wants.
