The future. New geopolitical and macro-economic norms. The further merging of technology, corporations, and governments. Really just what the new norms will be.

The fact that the few seem to be pushing the many around a lot in the US of A.

I can understand that one. The older I get the more I seem to learn how true that really is, though despite it all I never really feel down about it. I like to think back to this Mexican proverb:
"They tried to bury us, but they didn't know we were seeds."

My government is starting to ban things like distributing encryption software and publicly recording meta data, along with decreasing welfare for those who need it (not me anymore, but my family members need it), and trying to dismantle health care.
Also, I've got a fun tropical disease that I have to keep an eye on. But its not going to kill me.

If I may ask what nation is doing all that?
[–] ViolentlyMasticates 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Quite a few. I'm in Australia, but England, Canada and France are facing similar issues.
I did think the 'tropical disease' gave it away, but ah well :)

Got an eviction notice last week over shit I wasn't even involved in (landlady just decided to clear house rather than deal with it), so now I'm trying to find a vehicle to live out of that I can afford on ~$200 a month.

About to go into my sophomore year in hs, and my schedule is giving me anxiety every time I think of it. Mainly, my electives. I wanted to do Spanish, and maybe something else, but I accidentally put some bullshit art stuff, and I think it's too late to change it.

Not as heavy as some others, but my guitar is broken. It's been broken for nearly 4 months now. Normally it wouldn't be an issue because my parents were paying for my music things, but I moved out when it broke and just can't afford to fix it. I have always gone to playing guitar when stressed for over six years now, and I didn't realize how much it helped. It seems like I am getting so much more stressed and exhausted and the need to just play my guitar is just taking over everything and it's really upsetting to be honest. So yeah, not as big of a deal as some others, but it's what's been troubling me.
