Yet another couple-y holiday coming. After a whole bunch of family holidays during November and December. Ugh.
Life only celebrates those who already are on top- first, those born to good parents, which pretty much sets up life for the child.
If you watch every documentary on serial killers, 95% of them were born either to poor, or to shitty, abusive or emotionally unavailable parents. Usual both poor AND abusive. People who start off life at -10, rarely get a break in life and do well. Economically nor romantically.
Anyhow- Who else is single and alone?

Well here’s me buying chocolate for myself and eating it now :p
I guess we always have chocolate. I just pounded a bag myself. I read somewhere that chocolate has a tranquilizing ‘high’ effect but I don’t feel squat.
Valentine’s Day is weird, it doesn’t offend me anymore. For some reason when I hear ‘Valentine’s Day’ I got in the habit of thinking of the Valentine’s Day Massacre in Chicago. There’s a pic on wikipedia, a bunch of well dressed young men in suits all shot to hell. Valentine’s Day kinda sucked for them too.
what tranquilizing ‘high’ effect? lol. that “study” was probably funded by the sugar/junk food industry. the only “high” you’ll get is all that sugar in there.
ahahaha I’d bet every penny you’re right. All I know is it tastes good for exactly 5 sec, then I feel pathetic for 12 hours -_-
All designed this way, to keep us addicted, feeling bad, and buying more. And it works. -_-
Whelps- guess I’ll be eating chocolate for “breakfast.” I have nothing else “appetizing” at home. And where I live there’s nothing good nearby. Nothing healthy nor tasty nor affordable. It’s “funny” how since COVID 2020, Even junk food is expensive now. A slice of pizza of where I am is $3-$4. For a SINGLE slice.
Let alone healthy food. Which is not near me since I don’t live in a nice rich area -_-
No I don’t normally buy any chocolate. But ofc, every store has them front and center for v day. So I caved.
Valentines day isn’t nearly as useful once you are deep into a committed relationship as it is when you are dating, IMHO. We aren’t doing anything romantic over here, we’re playing dungeons and dragons in the evening, my wife is spending the entire day working.
It’s like how holidays aren’t useful when you’re unemployed, I had to ask my wife why schools were out earlier this week because it didn’t effect either of us; she had to go to work those days, I still stayed home and did what I always do. It was presidents day which I’m sure the school children appreciated, but we don’t have children, so it does nothing to us.
Her days off are so random that I’ve lost all anchor to reality. The only regular day she gets off are Sundays, and often as not she schedules games with her friends on those days.
Married life isn’t that great without children, and especially not in Oklahoma. Most holidays are about children.
V-day is essentially a marketing scam- trying to get consumers to buy shit now that the holidays are over. And xmas is also just a marketing ploy. If you care about someone, why wait till xmas to get them something? And for ppl who celebrate xmas, especially pre-2020 / pre-2008, if you DIDN’T get your best friend/whoever an xmas gift, you were considered a shitty friend.
Well, I suppose not having friends fixes that “problem” O_o
Nah, as a kid, I HATED when schools closed. It just meant that teachers just dumped MORE hw and assignments for us to do. It was never a holiday or fun day off.
I guess it’s more chocolate for me today O_o
Being alone, a loner, and a “misfit” sucks.
Even before I became disabled, I never fit in with “normies”
I was always “different”
But does thinking critically always have to mean “cast away” from society?
Think about all the geniuses- they were all so very lonely bc no one understood them. Or even tried to understand them. Obviously I’m no genius, but I am smarter than the avg population (which is not hard to do since the avg American is dumb as shit). Nerds have always been a “misfit” and never had a big social circle. At least this was the way things were before the internet hooked up nerds to other nerds.
Anyway, it’s Feb 14.
It’s not the day itself but more the fact that it represents to me the fact that I’ll likely be alone for the rest of my life. THAT is depressing. A single day doesn’t matter, but what is left of all of my days DO matter.
Anyhow, sigh and bleh -_-
