You got to spend some time with your brother. He'll remember that.

I had a job interview Friday and no one was there to interview me. Apparently HR dropped the ball. It’s 110 outside and I’m homeless and living out of a car atm. We had thunderstorms which meant rolling up the windows. I only have a few bucks left and therefore cannot run the AC because of gas. Once the storms were over it was back to 110 but with nearly 100% humidity and even more sweating. I’m currently stealing WiFi to write this out and I’m hungry AF. So yea, bummer about your 30 minutes.

I had a cookout at my house, had maybe 15 people over, lots of drinking, lots of swimming. I just got a new grill for the party and it was nice to cook on. Today I'm working 12 hours which is annoying but that's life.

I assume you're quite young, which is great! I'd suggest learning to enthusiastically jump into whatever activity you wind up in. It's way more fun that way.

At a comic con? Throw on a mask and start talking in a funny voice!

At an opera? Listen closely to the sounds and try to enjoy the artisticness of the performance!

In a big grassy field with nothing to do? Take your shoes off and let the grass tickle your feet!

In my experience it's easy to judge things as lame and to tell yourself that you're too cool for that thing, but that winds up not being fun, and you wind up missing out on a lot of stuff that you actually would've enjoyed if you let yourself get into it. Learn to be open to trying new types of experiences and you'll wind up having more fun in life!

Bro here acting like a lil bro with his lil bro

The Left ranked first at the elections in France, so suddenly much, much better than the expected brown/black outcome.

My spouse and I rode our motorcycles from the Midwest to the East Coast over Thursday and Friday. We've spent the weekend hanging out with family and friends that we haven't seen in months. It's been a good time and we'll be here for the rest of the week.

Hello,

I see you are a new account, feel free to join !casualconversation@lemm.ee , we have a lot of those threads

I went to a small (~30 people) festival dedicated to wood carving, because I was asked if a wanted to cook for everyone. Found it very inspiring to get an impression of that very specific sub culture.

Up and down. Depression hit me super hard, slept/read 14-hour days, but despite that, there were some great things.

Took the family out on my little 10' boat and watched the downtown fireworks from the river. We were directly underneath, cardboard shells raining on us! What a rush! None of us has ever seen anything like it.

Been limping along with a shit fridge that barely works. Got a new one from FB for $200! Nicest fridge I've ever had. Going to be a huge project swapping them. Hell, getting it out of the other guy's house was a chore.

And tonight we're hitting Aldi and loading up on food. Can't wait to have a good fridge, freezer and ice maker again.

Far far too short, though did have a mates birthday so that was fun

Spent most of today on trains coming back to Germany from my 2 weeks Interrail trip to the UK. Had a great time there. Spent yesterday exploring Bath and climbing up Solsbury Hill in the evening.

Pretty good!

I am in parental leave for another two months so I get to play with the little one and stay home.

My weekend was interesting. Opened my gaming mouse to swap the left mouse button switch since mine had started doing random double clicks. Discovered the battery was building pressure. Kinda a pain because it's still sitting disassembled while I wait for a new battery, but I'm glad I did find it like that instead of it eventually starting a fire when the package ruptured.

Oh also apparently some spiders successfully mated in my place and the spiderlings hatched on Saturday. I've relaxed my "catch and release, no kill" rule for spiders until further notice, though the one bigger one that showed up last night still got that. Looking around, I don't see any right now. Guessing I've killed like 40 so far. Apparently it'll take them a week or two to starve, assuming they don't catch some of the few bugs in here.

Started GMing a Cyberpunk Red campaign, went to the pool, cleaned my bathtub.

Got the air conditioner mounted in the bedroom in time for the heatwave. Now to take a quick afternoon nap and then work on the fence.

I went to Vienna to see Kraftwerk and it was really great. Vienna itself is a bit shitty though IMO

My depression has been trolling its way back recently, I was doing good since January... Those two weeks have been hard. Keep crying without knowing why exactly during my visits at my psychologist.

But the weekend wasn't that bad. We went to the municipal pool yesterday, the kid was happy. Today we went to the beach with friends, it was a most beautiful and relaxing day. When we came back, everything started going so wrong, I became super clumsy and almost broke stuff multiple times. Ended up screaming at myself and went to my office in the basement to isolate myself.

I feel bad for my wife and son. They deserve better than what I can offer right now.
