Congratulations!
You will be on the frontline of Bay12's... expanding... infrastructure and design departments.

So guess who got into MIT?

Who is Mit and why are you inside them?

[dragdeler]

That's pretty awesome they do some real shit, but as long as it's not harvard it's fine. (before anybody asks it stinks of wealth and it's related biases, whenever their studies pop up in some article it's allways some social science bullshit from a wealthy perspective, never actual technological progress, I forgot how many but the percentage whose parents went is ridiculous, just watch them host a presidiential debate to see how little of a learning institution, and how much a wealth perpetuation institution it is)

m-me? 🥺

Definitely wasn't my dumb ass, that's for sure.

Grats to both bloop and hops (maybe.)

My god, getting multiple trading accounts was a freakin' great move.  Youre not allowed to make to many 'intra-day' trades if you dont have a certain amount of money in a stock trading account.  By federal law, its 4 strikes, youre out for 6 months.

Getting a second account has doubled that number.  to 6.  Because the 4th means you get locked out for 'pattern day trader' tendencies, you effectively have 3 chances per account.

Anyway that means I can swing a day trade every day and still make overnight trades safely.  Much more chances to win -or lose, of course-.  And because its short term I dont need to play the mind game of 'do I really want to risk a daytrade on this losing trade?' and then holding as it only gets more in the red.  In, out, take profits for what they are or take my lumps.

...  Go figure that the rich would lobby for laws that put more mental pressure on the less experienced.

The best way to analyze the Law is to say "What does this let Rich Fucks do?"
And you're more likely to be right than wrong, since Laws Exist for Rich Fucks.

We're taught that laws and rules exist for a reason, and that they exist to improve society...... lol

I think I am in a mental state to write much more again.

I think I am in a mental state to write much more again.

my condolences, but yay writing!

Took a full day, but my energy's back. Apparently I'd gone even harder in that Jitsu session than I'd realised.

And, with my energy back, I'm in a really good mood again. I've been feeling really happy lately, dunno why. Maybe with the days getting longer I'm pulling out of a pseudo-SAD state.

I both love and loathe that feeling of total body drain, muscle soreness, and just mental glassing.  Just lean back in my computer chair, put my feet up on my cabinet, and bathe in the total laziness.

Good to hear youre enjoying the sunlight.  It's so nice this time of year.

I had a really nice birthday yesterday. Got to try out Foundry Vtt and Pathfinder 2e for the first time. Very good day.

Finally went and used my health insurance to see a doctor just for introductory stuff, some basic bloodwork, and so I can schedule a full physical later. I haven't had a doctor's appointment proper in probably a decade, so I'm really pleased that I'm getting my health checked.

Anyways, I talked to the doctor about my anxiety, took a very brief survey, and now I've got a prescription for generic Lexapro. Picked it up same day for a whole three bucks. It's... that easy? As 'haven't seen a doctor in ten years' might indicate, I've never had a prescription before. I have no idea how this is going to make me feel (besides less anxious, generally) or what I'm going to go through with it, except for some uneasy reading about SSRIs and others' anecdotes (not helpful for my anxiety, hahaha). I'd say 'fuck it' and start today anyways, except for the other piece of good news-

I'm moving to Utah! I kindled a romance with a friend when I went out there for a week to visit and now we're going to be roommates or 'roommates.' I'm driving the way there with whatever I can fit in my standard fare sedan and I've got a month to jettison most of my stuff, which actually comes as something of a relief since it's going to lead me to complacence to stay here and be comfortable with things that I don't feel anything about (which, coincidentally, triggers my anxiety, but so does being in a store with loud people, forgetting to eat, having too much work to do, having not enough work to do...). The local cult and host of MLMs weird me out, but that's not really my problem.

So I've got brain pills now and that's spooky business to me and I'm thinking of holding off until I don't have to operate heavy machinery for a thousand miles to figure out if it works okay. I'm probably going to have to get over my own stigma of being someone with antidepressants just like I did over being someone who enjoys a greener buzz, but it should be good for my health. So should this move, and this relationship. Exciting times, eh.
