Started a new job managing a retail store, so I'm trying to balance my new routine with my study. At the same time, I had to leave where I'm staying for a few days and figure out alternative transport. Tomorrow I only have study in the morning, so I've got some waking hours to myself for once ... I'm probably gonna crash on the couch hard. But looking forward to it!

Not great for money but could be worse.

I should have known better than order from AliExpress, as I've had a $200 package probably stolen. It was delivered to the floor of the lobby in a building that has 300+ apartments, a Friday evening, and I couldn't get home until Monday. There are secure lockers but they were not used. So yeah, no package and AliExpress is like "but it was delivered so it's your problem".

Also, winter is coming here and I hate it, so I'm trying to plan a short trip in the Carribean in a few weeks, and maybe a longer one in January. It's probably going to be St-Martin for now. Hopefully, the planning and the trip itself will help me take my mind off all the recent shitty news.

American here. I am numb, and profoundly sad for my country.

ETA, I also learned today that I’m probably going to be putting my dog down in a week or two. That will be the second one this year.

My week could be better.

Hey I'm really sorry to hear about your dog. It must be tough knowing that it's coming.

Thanks, it is. TBH, I’ve known it was coming. We took him to a neurologist today and she was getting red-eyed talking to us. Rough day all around.

Quite well. I recently got accepted to one of my top three picks for school!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 hours ago

Ooohhh sorry, school has been outlawed.

unemployed and what I believe to be one of the worse presidents of my lifetime has been re-elected with his party winning control of both houses and a judiciary he stacked in his last time. Oh and he appears to have fallen deep into senility in the last year and his vice president is one of the few that can make him look good in comparison. Lastly his thinktank include rfk junior, musk, and host of other nutters.
