Apparently LA Comic-Con thinks it's above the law and has decided to have the convention at the LA Convention Center in December. An in-person convention in a city where Covid cases are still pretty high. A convention where, during a normal year, attendees have to be reminded to bathe and wash their hands, that it's okay to throw a large group of people together in a tiny space during a pandemic. How is this even a thing that's happening?! How is this even allowed by the mayor of LA, who has okayed the DWP to shut off the power for large house parties? This, California, this right here is why we can't have nice things. Every other con this year has decided to either cancel the event or move it all to online, but LACC? Nope, they're the ones who are gonna make it happen in-person. God, I'm so frustrated because I know this is just going to cause a spike in cases again and we'll be thrown into another lockdown. Because money. Fucking LA, man.
I revisited Death Parade tonight... It always hits me hard, that one. Very few shows, anime or otherwise, can bring out my emotions the way Death Parade does every single time. I still lose it completely at the end of episode 4, when Decim hugs the two contestants and tells them that they did the best they could. I still long to hear someone tell me they're proud of me, that I'm doing the best I can, while they hold me...
Anyway, this song is the ending theme and, well, it resonates.
How I long for the days when I was numb, when it took self mutilation to make me feel. If I could just go back to that, that emptiness, that nothing. That numbness...
It's been a horribly long day and I would have given anything to just talk to him like I've gotten so used to doing. But, I'm an idiot who ruins all the good things in her life, so now I don't even have that. It's less everything else, but the loss of my friend hurts more the second time around.
Well, looks like we won't be moving anytime soon. My mom talked to Kevin and he told her that he can't transfer to another department until he's been out on patrol for at least a year. He won't be able to get into a department that will put him on patrol until around April. And, due to the severity of the fires the whole of the west coast has been dealing with, he's not so fond of Washington anymore. It'll probably be New Hampshire instead. So, that throws everything off. I mean, it's probably better to have the time to get everything settled, to get enough money saved up, but at least another year here... I am not looking forward to that. And, my dad is supposed to be moving back here by the end of the year. New Hampshire wouldn't be a bad place to go to though, it's beautiful up there. And it's close to Massachusetts, so I could go to Salem. Maybe I should look into going to school for nursing since I'm going to be stuck here for a while anyway.
I am going to school to be an RN... My Psychology class is already kicking my ass and I am only three weeks in. Working 80 hours a week and trying to do the virtual learning with my son isn't helping my case at all either.

California is just enveloped in smoke. Everywhere I went today, smoke, ash raining down, the smell of things burning.
This was Encino at 2:30 in the afternoon. It wasn't overcast, that's just smoke.
And this was on my drive home along the 210 through Monrovia, you can see the flames now.
I remember one year here in Washington, fire season was as bad as yours is right now. The ash in the air was thick, smoke everywhere. It was like an eternal bbq daily. Working in the pharmacy, we gave out masks for he elderly since it was too difficult to breathe. We could not keep inhalers or nebulizers stocked back then. It was horrible. There were fire crews who were just beyond exhausted. You could see it in their eyes, that they pretty much had lost their humanity fighting the fires. That was just awful back then. Seeing how it is there, took me back.

I really hate that fucking profile. The Nazi iconography and the glorification of a "race" of people who wanted to wipe out whole groups of people just because they perceived themselves as the best is utterly disgusting.
It's not against ToS to post up swastikas on your pfiile. It should be, but it isn't.
As someone of Jewish descent, I just find it abhorrent that people want to glorify that shit. And, the owner of said profile knows better, she's not stupid or ignorant.
What the nazis did was horrific people ought to know any glorification is unacceptable. I puke on the swastika always. And forever and weep for the Jewish people. I agree with you.
If you look at the bigger picture, the Aryans had nothing to do with the Nazis. They were a real group of people who were into conquering everyone in their path. It was Hitler who assumed that one day, this so-called "Master Race" will return, and he wanted to accelerate the whole process in a very warped and evil manner.
I was moved by the sentence, "Part of the power that does evil, but works the good." There is some German term for this, that I am not able of spelling. This sentence can be found in the Mein Kampf. Thus I linked it with Faust. Mephisto is evil, using the same lines that Hitler did.
Outpost is a zombie-nazi movie, and yes, I believe in guarding against any form of genocide. People ought to be aware of this misunderstanding of the profile.
Also, in the Hitler regime, the iron cross was awarded as a medallion to military personnel who has slaughtered a million innocent people. I am not speaking of the biker gangs here, though.
Yeah, you can shut the fuck up. Dude, you can't make me feel any other way than the way I feel about that profile. It's disgusting. You're romanticising a race that wiped millions of people out, your profile picture has a swastika, as do other images. There's no excuse for any of that. None. You know exactly what you're doing, you're trying to get attention due to the shock factor of it all, and I gave it to you. That doesn't make it right, it doesn't make these excuses for why the profile exists okay. It's not okay.
My voice starts cracking toward the end because I'm an emotional bitch... And not the best overall, but I really don't care. This is meant for one person and one person only.
Now, I'm not saying they're a catfish, but, well, there are an awful lot of red flags. And while my advice won't be heeded, just learn who exactly is the person behind that computer screen before you fall too hard. Messages and texts full of pretty words are nice to get, I know, but all I have to say is try video chatting before you give your heart away. It'll save you a lot of pain, wasted time.
