I've been in a bit of a "the worst is yet to come" mode the last few days, sorry about that.

It's fine, I have been pretty worried about the weather over the last two years myself. I figured we had a bit more time.

Blame Ethel, he's only delighted.

The climate change is going to give back to us with interest, that alone would be more than enough to deal with. And given how our species is a bit too capable of making bad situations worse, with several End Time-obsessed world religions and a globally operating economic system run by psychopaths and AI machines, it is sometimes a bit hard to put a smile on your face in the knowledge that tomorrow there shall be a new day.

Well now tbf thinking back, this "well, the sky is getting a bit angry, isn't it" started, as far as I can remember anyway, in the winter of 2010. The problem is how many years of consistently odd to dangerous weather patterns does it take to graduate from freak occurrences to new normal.

Juuuuuust waiting on the tornado.

I wonder if almost saying "thank you" to coffee dispenser in morning is sign that I am too polite for my own good or I am still too sleepy when I get into office.

My laptop will thank me that I didn't infect it with virus, or go through any of the weird sites.

But it will kill me for jabbing it hard or scolding it for Windows 10's fault.

Hmm... I guess it'll balance out. :P

That is why most of them are active in the intellectually very challenging scene of online gaming, because only the most refined elite gathers on those racially pure servers.
