It's Wednesday 06/10/2026. Hey, What's Going On!
It's hot and raining here. So I guess we have a monsoon season now. Climate change is just great...
This post is for casual conversation if you don’t feel like making a post of your own.

I have purchased and made an appointment to get new all seasons and swap out my winter tires. I hate cars I hate driving I hate garages and how esoteric everything is. If I can't have good public transit (which I guess somewhat fair as I am rural) can I at least have utilitarian commodity vehicles with utility commodity parts?
I'm catching heat because a friend of Mine apparently posted some kind of Nazi propaganda as a joke. So I told them to apologise and mean it. But they don't wanna apologise, because they say nobody's gonna believe they're being genuine. But if they don't apologise, I'm gonna tell them I won't be their friend. I don't fuck with Nazi shit.
What a strange logic. Are they saying no one is going to believe that they are genuine because they are in fact not genuine?
I went to university in the early 2000s when "ironic" edgelord posting was pretty popular. It became clear pretty quickly that this was a recruiting tactic to the far right. I try not to be too judgey about people who don't understand this because I didn't understand it back then either. I should have known better but didn't, and I am ashamed. I thought the jokes were so absurd it was clear they were meant to be poking fun at the far right but they were often sincere 😭
Because it was a mistake (out of ignorance) I would have jumped at the opportunity to apologize if someone called me out. In fact, it wasn't until I was called out that I was like, "Wait, we aren't all in on this joke? This hurts people's feelings and makes them feel unsafe? I don't like that!". Since then I have become more aware of what signals I give to others based on my participation/association/or even not speaking out on problematic things. I can't imagine a situation where an apology would have been the wrong thing to do. Sure, it could result in people telling me they don't forgive me instead of just ignoring me and that hurts but it doesn't hurt as much as enduring Nazi shit.
Okay so I did some more digging, turns out My friend was being awful to their partner and lying about it to Me. So they're not My friend anymore.
Proud of you!
Oh the heat. I hate that. I hate heat more than cold. It's easier to keep and generate heat than it is to cool down. In addition to heat, the summers always come with the blindingly bright ball of nuclear fusion in the sky.
Every single movement makes me sweat like I've just finished a workout and completely drenched when working out. I'm literally the sweatiest person in the gym while working out and that has actually gone worse over the years. Just because thanks to more muscle mass and improved cardiovascular system, i generate more heat and can dissipated heat more effectively, through sweating.
I hate this time of the year. Just being in a hot environment, even without any physical exertion and the mind starts to go sluggish and i start to miss more things.
For years I've thought about moving more towards north, but i already am in the northernmost city of my country.
Worst part, if I'm going to write my upper limit from where the temperature gets intolerable. Half the planet is going to laugh and put on a sweater because it's chilly.
I fucking hate summer. I wish it was permanent winter and night. So probably nuclear winter would be kinda nice.
So I have another date with this woman who is rather challenging and interesting, on Sunday morning. We're going to play some disc golf and also do some light geocaching. Then right after that I'm hosting a polyamory discussion group in a local park. I'm also thinking about taking a woman I was dating for a while but we decided that we're not really sexually interested in each other, to a local tiny amazing theme park with my wife, and possibly her boyfriend on Saturday. Hmmm... I should ask her if she wants to bring her husband too.
Polyamory is fun if you like 3d puzzles.
