Weather. It is 8000f outside with 300% humidity, in May, in Michigan. Go home, weather, you're drunk.

Dunno where you live, here it's always 80 and humid by May.

RAGE: Past self.

I've done a lot of stupid things in the past,and said amount of stupid things is just getting larger,I thought I'd get wiser as I get older but I just keep doing stupid things or saying stupid stuff.

I'll probably stop doing stupid stuff by the time it no longer matters. (Being so old that even if I did want to do something stupid I couldn't.)

Coincidence these two rage posts are right next to each other?

That shit happens to me on a daily basis. Something causes your memory to go back to something painful, humiliating, stupid and you just cringe.

@blazing glory

Welcome to my realization of about ~8 years ago. I thought I'd get smarter, savvier. Nope. Foot still regularly goes in mouth. Things that seemed appropriate two hours ago are seen for what they are: rash action. Maybe it's all the posting on the internet that makes up a lot of my social interaction these days, where I've managed to at least filter more of the stupid than I do in real life, that lends a false perception of control over my own stupid. Probably not much more, as anyone here can attest.

Point is, there is no wisdom event horizon. Every day is a chance to screw up, or not screw up. Recovered alcoholics will tell you they never quit alcohol, that it's an every day battle. I feel like being stupid, rash, insensitive, whatever, as a self-aware person is much the same thing. It's a trap you can always walk into. The wisdom event horizon isn't never saying something or doing something you're going to regret. It's a state of eternal vigilance against your own stupid. It's a subtle but important difference. You will never get rid of your own stupid, it will always be with you. But you learn to go through life checking yourself instead of trying to check everyone around you. Which you fail at, over and over again, or maybe even quit altogether. It's the Dark Souls of Life.

I'm used to 55f and nice in May.

That's April.

Actually, until just a few days ago, May was like that too. I think the seasons have been shifted back three weeks by the long winter.

Yeah, up until the last week, it's been ~55 here in the day and getting down to the upper 30s at night. And now it's like 85 to 90. It was a pretty cold spring by the Midwest's standards. We're usually in the 60s and 70s by end of April/mid May.

Average temperatures for May here are 69(high)/46(low), according to NOAA. It was 83 today. August is going to cause people-melt.

At the rate it feels like we're going, I'd up that to beginning of July. Prepare for endless headlines of RECORD HEAT WAVE.

It was 88f earlier in the week, too. The weather this summer is going to go from hot to HELL. All caps intentional.

Am I going to have to bring up my 110f weather again?

Make peace with your past//learn from it.

Make peace with your past//learn from it.

That doesn't stop it from having happened though. Also the point of this rage (to which I can sympathise) is that learning from mistakes doesn't really seem to happen. Sure, you might not say that particular stupid thing again, but there's an infinite amount of other stupid things you can say, and undoubtedly you will say some of them in the future.

Speaking of Michigan weather, I can't play anything more cpu intensive then ADOM 'cause my computer keeps on overheating and crashing. 

[scrdest]

Well, I recently mentioned my sleep cycle fucking them over by waking me up at 6? Looks like it took offence. Today it was first 5 AM, THEN 6 AM, when my classes start at 10 >.<

Come on, 80 is nothing. Last summer around here was 122f. Computer ran just fine too. Glad I'm heading into winter.
