Hollow Eyes Coming Back

Stayed focused in the morning; I initially forgot about the schedule change, so the eservice was a little late. Potmatess had a 5g/100 sale on Alpine and Kingpen carts, but they were still sold out of Alpine's Northern Lights. I considered just trying 5 different Alpine carts, but 1) I really don't think wanting at least one Certainty is unreasonable, and 2) 5g/100 is a great deal, but not as good as the B2G1, which comes out to just a little over 16.50/gram. I texted them about it, and they're supposed to let me know when they get them back in.

I saw my ballot still sitting in the outgoing bin, and rather than cluck about the sky falling and conspiracy theories, I just dropped it off at the library. They were very friendly, and wanted to make sure I'd signed it and whatnot appropriately. I saw some folks walking their pups, nearly shouted to them, but then I saw it was Terry and Taka. I do feel bad that I won't get to see Gohan anymore, but not so bad that I'd make an overture to Terry.

One of the tagged threads from Laugh Reacting had some persistent villains. One, in particular, had said I was lying about the number of deaths in the U.S. from COVID, then ran through just about every logical fallacy in the book. Goal shifting, red herrings, ad hominem attacks, straw men, and whatever you call this Right Wing Cult nonsense of expecting everyone to just believe what they write, with no source or citation. Somewhere in the back of my head, I thought I should not feed the trolls, but that simply wouldn't be like me. For better or worse, I'm like my dad's Left Wing doppelganger. It was also excellent practice for me, to be able to track and call out fallacies.

I saw a post in the evening about still providing basic needs to addicts, and while it was met with general approval, Eli and Stuart both jumped in with stories about all they've suffered from addicts. I tried my best to still be kind and diplomatic, but Eli ended up angrily blocking me because I wouldn't let him cuss out some other friends, and that meant I couldn't reply to Stuart, either. I left it, though, because I'm happy with my responses. I also saw a few posts saying it was Pronouns Day. I thought I saw that a few weeks ago, and there are conflicting reports. I went ahead and posted mine (any), but at least remembered to phrase it in a much nicer way.

Keagan posted regarding a horrid neighbor, and even referenced Elaine Stritch and vodka stingers. I don't have any Cognac, so I made Eric Juice (vodka + crystal light) instead. Took a couple hundred mg of edibles, and since it still wasn't working, popped open one of the joints that come free when you order enough weed. It was enough.
