  1. A quotation from Samuel Johnson

    The evils inseparably annexed to the present condition of man, are so numerous and afflictive, that it has been, from age to age, the task of some to bewail, and of others to solace them; and he, therefore, will be in danger of seeing a common enemy, who shall attempt to depreciate the few pleasures and felicities which nature has allowed us.

    Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
    Essay (1753-11-27), The Adventurer, No. 111

  3. More from NYmag, highlighted by #Maddow.

    #Trump’s dark political motives aside, he’s probably not someone White should take moneymaking advice from. One of Trump’s many failed business ventures prior to running for president was the #MMA co #Affliction Entertainment, which tried to challenge #UFC’s PPV dominance in 2008. #MichaelCohen was the COO. It ran out of money & folded after hosting only 2 events.

  4. Do you suffer from #Dickface #Guy #Affliction?

    Whether at work, on the go, or hanging out in a bar, #DGA can strike anyone at any time.

    Talk to your #Doctor if DGA flares up in your time line. There is hope.

  5. Morning Folks! I completely failed to do a post yesterday... time is a strange quantity.

    Anyway, we are just a few hours shy of being one week into the #PathOfExile #Affliction league, and as a result, I wanted to share my thoughts so far. I gotta say... they are overwhelmingly positive even though it effectively killed my beloved Righteous Fire Juggernaut.

  6. Hey Folks! Last week knocked the wind out of my sails... which led to an unexpected break from blogging. This morning however I return with a discussion of how #PathOfExile #Affliction league has gone so far in the Semi-SSF Private league we are doing. I am learning to live without Righteous Fire and instead pivot into Boneshatter.

  10. Folks we are down the first part of the alphabet this week but we carry forward with four people.

    This week we talked about:
    -- The massive meta-shakeup that is #PathOfExile #Affliction league
    -- Bel picking a fight with Kodra and calling #GW2 more of an #ARPG than a traditional #MMORPG
    -- #StarCitizen forcing some interesting player choices

  11. Friends... I have never gone so rapidly from overwhelmingly excited about something to crushingly depressed. This morning I talk about the #PathOfExile #Affliction league announcement and the death of #RighteousFire as we know it today.

  13. What is on your mind the Fediverse asks. First of all the therapeutic effect of encounters with children. I have been feeling rather down lately due to a condition which has rendered me deaf in my right ear. It began in early June of last year and I have seen an ENT specialist on and off since that time, and have since been referred to another more specialized ENT for follow up. In any case coming out of a Costco warehouse yesterday I spotted a four year old girl accompanied by her mother. The child embodied life force, you could feel the energy radiating from this little girl. I recognized it for what it was and it lifted my spirit so that my depression evaporated instantly.

    My wife is visiting her daughter in another province for ten days. I was encouraged to socialize and see friends during her absence. I decided to use those ten days for solitude and secretly feed my hermetic tendencies. #solitude #children #Depression #relationships @medical #affliction #psychology

  14. This is why I can't just quit Facebook entirely. There's a Facebook group called "Just Say No to Toxic Positivity," and people share items like this one.

  15. I can't ever seem to remember how and when the Klingons got their head ridges back. Was that covered someplace? They had them back in that first movie. #AllStarTrek #ENT #Affliction
