I think the work in my house is finally done. Now I need to wait for the new elevator to be put in so I can move the rest of my furniture in. Then I need to decorate again.

Daisy: The Orient Express! Running from the most romantic city in the world *exaggerated French accent* Paris *end exaggerated French accent*, to the exotic city of Istanbul! It was most the luxurious train in the world! If it weren't for the fact that it was pulled by steam engines instead of sleek diesel railcars, it would have been perfect! Oh, how I wish I could travel along the magnifique Orient Express' route; there's nothing on Sodor that can even compare to it.
Gordon: Not even my Express!?!
Daisy: No, Gordon, not even your Express.

Hm. Slim but a little cut, 511, brown hair, jawline that could cut diamonds, light-fair skin tone, typically wearing glasses which make him look even better
Nuremgard, Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica
Yummy. Send him over. I'll play his bagpipes.
Axeldonia, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova
But you gotta deal with his emotional and mental luggage though. Take it off my hands

Is the c*ck worth it though?

So what brought you back here to our humble abode?
Boredom. Lots of boredom.
Nuremgard
The struggle is real.
Boredom is a good thing. It's where our best ideas come from. Not being able to manage your time effectively to begin implementing that idea is the real struggle.
Nuremgard
I'm a night owl. I always get my best ideas between 2 and 5am.
Jaslandia
I used to sleep at 8 and wake up at 5, but my sleep schedule has slowly shifted farther away from that by a magnitude of about 3 hours.
Jaslandia
I always stay up late, even if I need to get up early.
Jaslandia
How has life been in the past few years for you?
Not too bad. I now have my own apartment and I am currently at university. How about you?
Jaslandia
It's been much worse for me. My time-management skills have evaporated and that always keeps me stressed out everyday. I also now barely have the willpower to pick up a book when I used to be able to finish any book in two weeks or less. I feel like my entire life has gone out of balance and nothing that I try to do can fix it. Not only that, but breathing issues now keep me up at night for who knows how long. And yes, I know that I seem like I just want sympathy, but it just is that I am uncomfortable to talk about it to anyone in real life because of how highly people think of me in my community.
Jaslandia
Wow, man. Didn't know things are so sh!tty for you. Sorry. :( I hope things improve for you quickly. I know words are cheap but I don't know what to say. :(
Jaslandia
Again, 'least we have an idea of what Communism is and how to get there; Good for you lot for keepin' it ambiguous :P
I just want some answers. Why did this all begin? Can you give me your best educated guess about this? That's the best thing that anyone can do.
Well sometimes life just throws you curve balls. I definitely suggest seeing your doctor about those breathing problems if you haven't already. Try sleeping with your head raised or sleep sitting down. It might help with your breathing issues.
As for time management, try and keep a diary. Put in dates and events to keep track of everything. Set goals for each day. "I will do XYZ" today.
Jaslandia, Nuova Constidor
Thanks! I need to go now.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia
No probs. Chin up. Send me a telegram if you ever need to vent in confidence.
Jaslandia
It might have been if he didnt put the damn thing on display every other day by wearing speedos and leaving nothing to the imagination. Oh, and him making sure to send me unrequested photos he took of him in it 2 weeks after we had a big blowout
Nuremgard, Axeldonia
Blame the Blanquists and Marxists for not understanding the leap in logic they present
Andromitus
On second thought, don't send him.
Hes god awful with following through with plans anyway. Super immature too; all he wants is sex, nothing serious or meaningful.
Thats actually why i dumped him, and why I have refused to make any plans with him since. Weve talked for a bit here and there since then, but its mostly because I caught him trying to screw with me by making a new Grindr profile and posing as a stranger.
Nuremgard
Well good for you for wanting something more. Leave him to be immature.

When the f*ck will we annihalate this proto-fascist burgeois two-party dictatorship

Are you referring to the US or UK? :P

Hey, the UK still has hope in Corbyn, the SNP and Sinn fein.
Nuremgard, Lex Caledonia
True. You poor Yanks are f*cked.

I live in Sweden m8, I ain't in no danger :P
Nuremgard
Well, unless the Democrats manage to pull through in the 2017 and 2018 elections, but if they fail, then we're farked
Apologies. I just assumed. Lucky you!
Actually, why did I assume? I now remember you saying you lived in Scandinavia. I'm sorry. I have a head like a sieve.
Axeldonia, Penguania And Antarctica
You're f*cked either way to be honest. Both of your parties are just corporate w*nk socks.

Pimps and cowboys, lol
Nuremgard
Eh, problem is that trying to get a third party or more into the system would divide the parties and cause greater opposition to working together (ex. the Greens may be able to appeal to the more liberal Democrats, but if another party doesn't pop up to do the same to moderate Republicans, you can kiss the idea of an opposition of a left-wing victory goodbye. A similar example is the Constitution Party drawing in the paleoconservative branch or more Bible-driven members of the Republican Party, but if no party in a similar manner pops up with the Democrats, then that would be a right-wing loss)

The only commercial clothing manufacturer in the WPF is Target 😂
They converted their stores to textile factories and they employ hundreds of old women with sewing machines churning out clothing for the masses.

on the two party system:
If I may play devil's advocate, the two party system is really a good thing for most modern nation's because it allows people to easily see the correlation and opposition to their own values in politics, limited options allow people to more easily choose.
on that guy's boyfriend:
I am a 35 y/o married heterosexual male and I guess I don't see where you see immaturity in his wearing of Speedos and the like, perhaps I misunderstood the conversation but from my experience women find confidence and pride in one's body to be not just attractive but desirable in a partner. I know I wear "interesting" underwear both because it makes me feel sexy but because it shows that I am confident and comfortable with my body and yes, 10 years into married life I still send my wife sexy pics of myself when I am feeling horny or just particularly sexy, she does the same and we both enjoy it.
So I guess what I am saying is that if you are not comfortable with your partners level of bodily comfort, maybe the issue isn't his immaturity...
on life falling apart:
If time management, handling daily tasks, being on time for work, dinner, appointments,etc. is an issue, if you are constantly feeling that life is falling apart, if you are struggling with daily tasks then I would recommend that you seek some professional counseling. Those sound like symptoms of what I hope is an early stage mental illness and trust me, it is better to treat it earlier than later. I hope and pray the best for you, if you do not seek professional help then at the least, reaching out to friends and family is a good start. The fact that you are talking to people here is probably a sign that you already know you need to reach out to someone for a little help.
There is no shame in being open and seeking treatment, don't hide.
Vista Major, Kalaron, Nuova Constidor
Yeah, it wasn't til I finished that I realized how "1971 Western Disco party at the Roy Rogers Ranch" it was turning out, lol
Pirate Kingdoms
The two party system sucks when both parties are basically the same ideologically but just have different names. Plus, two party systems are unfair and unrepresentative.
As for sexy pics, feel free to send a few my way.

I am a 18 y/o in-relationship homosexual male, and I pretty much agree with what is said here.

i am surprised how much fun i have with the international incident issue, nations want to help Brasilistan because we bomb civilian areas so what is the logical option? bomb them even more!
The Wyoming Peoples Front
You have misunderstood. My issue with his immaturity is his disdain and tendency to avoid connecting with people in a non-physical way. Its just all about sex with the guy.
In addition, as a partner, he treated me like garbage compared to his friends. He would filch on our plans to do things with them. For example, I was talking to him for months trying to convince him to go to Indy Pride (hes not out, and was at first unsure about going because I said wed go with my friends, to which I said if he doesnt want to be associated with so much overt flamboyance, just he and I can go.). Even asked him the night before if he wanted to go- which he said Im not sure if i want to go at all. And sure enough, he went with a girl and a guy friend of his, and posted photos of them altogether on Snapchat.
You have to imagine how angry and betrayed I felt after that, especially since he made no efforts to hide the fact he did it. It didnt stop their either. Just recently he filched on our plans to have dinner and watch the new season of American Horror Story (show we both like) at my apartment, instead choosing going to see It with his friends. Mind you, we made that plan a week in advance, and he agreed to it.
All in all, hes very immature in relationships. I dont need that in my life, especially now that I have to work outside of class. He can go fûck off and screw with someone elses plans and emotions somewhere else. Im barely friends with him now, and I told him exactly why I am upset. In response, he just changed the topic every time I tried to work on things.
Nuremgard, Mercunova, Confederal States
Sorry if that seemed rant-ish, Im just not happy with him, especially because for a long time he seemed like a great guy,
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica, The Wyoming Peoples Front
How's you today, Fried?
Penguania And Antarctica
Doing good, actually. Mitchs replacement is coming over once he gets out of work.
His name is Sam, and hes a med student doing his residency right now. We are usually only able to meet up late at night because of it, but hes awesome.
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica
A med student huh? That's hot.
Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova
No offense, but you seem very obsessed with Mitch.
Penguania And Antarctica, The Wyoming Peoples Front
I blame it on hormones in his brain.
The Wyoming Peoples Front
What makes you say that? Because I got angry after reliving and retelling the shítty past month Ive been having?
Ive lost my job, lost my boyfriend, and have been losing my best friend because her boyfriend is driving a wedge between us this past month. I think a rant is justifiable.
Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova, Yukona
Again, not to mean any offense to you, but I'm just saying that ranting about your boyfriend, going into such detail about literally everything, is just not something I think is okay. I'm just saying it seems a tad bit obsessive that you're ranting, in such detail, about this guy that, if he was such a bad guy as you've described, should be relatively easy to move on from.
All I'm saying it seems a tad bit unhealthy to obsess over him specifically, when you seem to be having a bad month all-round. And tbh, I consider it immature to drag not only your personal life, but his personal life into the sun in order to make him out to be a bad person. I get confiding and venting to a friend, but just kind of coming out and saying all these things that make him a terrible person, going into such detail such as how he wears speedos, just seems a tad bit on the immature side. At least shows that you still think about him, to the point you even describe your current relationship as his replacement, which is massively unhealthy for a relationship.
I get it, bad month. Sh!t happens. Bad relationships happen. Lose jobs. That stuff happens, and it's okay to be mad about it. But I'm sorry, dragging his personal life and details into a conversation with people who don't even know him is just kinda meh. My opinion that's immature, because it just seems like you want an echo chamber of people who will just agree that he's a douche and won't care about the actual nature behind everything.
I've gotten mad at exes. I got abused during a relationship, but I don't go around telling people his name, everything he's done, and how he's just a terrible person because of reason x, y, and z. So no, imo, your rant is not justified in such detail. I'm trying not to mean offense, because I really really don't, but I apologize in advance if it is taken because I know I sound belligerent in this post.
2nd for economic efficiency, I'll take it.

It's not obsessive to rant about something that's happening in the present at all. Like if he was talking this way and relationship in question had ended like 2 years ago then yeah I'd be tempted to agree, but this is something happening in the current and so I think it's perfectly non-obsessive and actually quite normal to be upset and maybe ranting about it. Is it inappropriate to do that here? Maybe. But nobody batted an eyelid when Nurem suggested the 30 year old hetero married man should send him sexy pictures so I guess by this region's standards it's not even inappropriate.
