Came across a post that said the world is on fire and wanted to know what they were referring to. I'm aware of Trump's assassination attempt at the WHCD. Just heard about the hantavirus but still gathering details. Iran war still dragging on?

The "Trump assassination attempt" didn't really happen. There was a guy with a gun who said later he wanted to shoot some people in the government (not Trump) but he didn't even use his gun and the only people who got shot were security who were shot by their colleagues.

Anyway, welcome to the hanta virus. 50 percent mortality rate. Tea?

Aliens have made contact with us and next month we're all leaving Earth to check out Alpha Centauri.

  • I successfully wrote a program that prompts for and verifies pin numbers. It then temporarily saves the last entered pin number into an array. TODO: error handling (input type, overflow, etc.).
  • I finished the game MiSide and now I cannot stop wanting a psychotic yandere girlfriend.
  • I did my first round of IPL hair removal.
  • I adjusted the dosage of antidepressants, which seems to have helped a little.
  • I met with a career counselor to discuss my options if I were to quit my current job, only to realize that I should remain at my current job: love the colleagues, love the boss and I have no problems with the job itself. That more than many could wish for.
  • Successfully sold my gaming console collection for about $2200.
  • Managed to decrease porn consumption from several times a week to once a week, sometimes once every two weeks.
  • Found a great facial mousse with 50 SPF.
  • My new glasses push against my nose like crazy and they leave a mark on my nose too, so I think I'll switch them for another model before the guarantee period runs out. Which is really sad because I love them. Gold/pink, huge, round. 🥺
  • Had my first panic attack in many months. Like, come on, I thought this was over!?
  • The ruling class still holds a tight grip on the means of production.

This almost feels like ragebait and I don't know how to reply, lol.

It isn't. I had a crazy month where I was disconnected from the news and social media

The owner of an Italian restaurant threw a pot of spaghetti at the window of the cafe next door.
