I just realized my post count just surpassed 4000...

Only 750 posts for me to catch up to you... Congrats.

"Only" yes.

Used to be in the 1500 range... I'm gaining.

[Alyxx Thorne]

Guess we're both shameless postzillas.

[BTGBullseye]

Nah, we're just opinionated, and we post our opinions whenever appropriate. (or inappropriate in my case )

[Alyxx Thorne]

Yeah, you're a shameless opinionist.

 

That sounds dirty.

[BTGBullseye]

Not quite that dirty...

 

IRL I quietly voice my opinion when it's needed, but I always go my own way.

Shameless opportunism is dirtier than shameless optimism.

Yes, but we're neither... We're shameless opinionists...

God, it feels like I haven't slept in days.

If you haven't slept in days, that would explain the feeling.

That actually sounds worse than the prior 2.

 

And I actually fall under shameless optimist. I just seem incapable of being sad without some serious event triggering it. which usually is gone completely by the next day.

[BTGBullseye]

Sounds worse, but isn't.

Wouldn't call that optimism. More like... resilience. I'm the same way: it's difficult for me to be down about something a long time. Also, while I usually "hope" for the best, I always plan for the worst. Guess you could call me a pessimistic optimist

Nah; I also hope for the best and plan for the worst, and I'm one of the most pessimistic people I know of. Pretty much everyone else in my family is/was optimistic other than me. I prefer to be labeled as "pessimistic realist, but optimistic when something has no chance of going wrong."

 

Thing is, nothing ever has no chance of going wrong, so that leaves me as just a pessimist and a realist at times.

Opportunism however can be quite rough and dark if all you follow is things that will only directly benefit yourself.

That's why I was saying shameless opportunism sounds worse. Opportunism can lead to bad(not always) but when you're shameless about it, everything has a "fuck it" mind set backing it up.

 

And yay, broken computer screen. I should never have put the damn thing in the trunk. well, at least it's minor enough that I can still see all my pixels.

It's in a padded computer case. What I didn't count on is the duffle bag of boots being placed on top of it after looking away.

That reminds me of the Windex that spilled in our trunk and drenched my suitcase. At least I smelled like a clean window.

Then you didn't pad it well enough did you...

[Blightmare]

You underestimate the weight of the boot bag...
