[Yoink]

I feel miserable. I can usually at least idly daydream of a more interesting future where I have somehow managed to "get my shit together", but just now I don't even know what I want my future to hold, let alone how to work towards it.

I had a rather nice idea along those lines a little while ago, but then I forgot it.
Also, being tormented by vague, aimless nostalgia for various ill-defined moments in the past, moments I can barely remember a thing about anyway. Just a sense of them being somehow pleasant.

Also I ran out of beer. And Canadian Club. The only alcohol left is... Southern Comfort, actually. My favourite non-beer tipple. Perhaps this current malaise shall resolve itself sooner than I thought. At least for a moment.
The SoCo isn't actually mine, which is why I haven't been drinking it. Just figured I'd clarify that before anyone thinks less of me for hesitating to get my drink on.


I wish it was raining right now. For some reason it feels like it should be.

Have a sinking feeling that everyone I know or even meet dislikes me. I'm constantly worried that I'm doing something embarrassing or being an asshole.

[hector13]

That’s called being human. Also social anxiety.

Chances are you’re not doing anything too outrageous.

Have a sinking feeling that everyone I know or even meet dislikes me. I'm constantly worried that I'm doing something embarrassing or being an asshole.

An easy way to help with that is to think about you handle these things with other people, and how hard it is for someone to really mess up the little things in a social situation badly enough that you'll remember or even notice. It's really only patterns of behavior and first impressions that make any impact at all.

One of my faults for instance is a relatively low tolerance for little annoyances, but practically the instant I get in a conversation with someone that mental circus vanishes, and afterwards I'd be unlikely to remember if the person had punched me in the face during the conversation if it otherwise ended agreeably.

May I ask what exactly this Digital is?

[KittyTac]

Digital - A Love Story, presumably.

So now if you don't belong to the party, you can't put gasoline on your car. I don't currently own one and I don't think I'll buy a new one before leaving this banana republic of mine, but sure this get to me nerves. People are either fleeing harder, eyeing bicycles or giving up and preparing to be a comrade the rest of their lives....

Among other thigs these monkeys are making is pegging the Bolivar with that cursed Petro "coin" which is nothing but a big scam and the petro is pegged to thebarrel of oil... But no one else in the world gives a damn since no one bough petro then our coin the Bolivar will be worth nothing too...

All these things and many more like some idiot saying all the children of the opposition should die so they don't grow up to oppose the regimen put me on a homicidal set of mind were I dream on killing every single one of them in the most gruesomely ways, publicly, because that's what they deserve for killing so many innocent people and making so many more miserable.... Ugggh

All of this simply takes out the worst of me, and I don't like it at all. I need to get us out soon.

[redwallzyl]

I think this is how revolutions happen. You can only oppress people so much until they have nothing to lose.

So now if you don't belong to the party, you can't put gasoline on your car.

How do you tell if someone's in the party or not? Is there a card you have to register for?

[LordBaal]

Yep there's a card. It's asked basically for everything now, medical attention on public facilities (or what little there is, which is nonexistent anyway), access to affordable food sponsored by them (which is still expensive and most of the time of dubious precedence), of you are opting for a job on a public institution, to get into the public education system, most of the public transport or what's left of it.... Virtually for everything, and soon it will be literally for everything. Of course having this card means you have to join the party otherwise you don't get one.

[Mephansteras]

Sheesh. Man, that is not ok. I hope you can get out soon.

So Venezuela joins the "horrible dystopian country" club in my eyes, along with North Korea.

[Doomblade187]

wtf that's like crony capitalist north korea 

I hope you have a solid plan and good luck, just out of curiosity, would money help or would that just evaporate with the hyperinflation?

Money in a stable currency (like the dollar) has been holding it's value down there as far as I know.
