"wide array of cultural foods you can find"
"...a ridiculous amount of Asian, Hispanic, and Texmex"

I've been having a very intense interesting few weeks lately.
My cat's kidney problems have gotten worse, and he is currently spending the weekend at the vet on a drip :( He's 15 years old, and is my oldest friend, having been a part of my life since I was 6. I'm really worried for him, but even I know that eventually his time will come. It's gonna suck though :/
I've been meeting up with my best friend almost every day for the past few weeks because she was going through relationship troubles. This week she and her bf of two years broke up. She comes up to me for advice about this kind of shit every time she's going through something, and I really care for her and am always ready to help, but this experience has burnt me out as much as it's burnt her out. Being there for her is becoming even more of an uphill battle for me. Infact today we didn't make any plans to meet up so I'm just gonna enjoy the alone time and maybe go skate soon.

I hope you guys are doing okay xx

hey matt FUCK YOU

What about a secondary instead of the gunboats which is basically the rocket jumper but with only 1 rocket?

The alone time actually becomes so useful if you use it correctly. I've been catching up on a lot of my philosophy reading and I've been watching lots more video lectures. I've also started watching movies, which is something I never used to do before. I find it really fun to analyse and discuss the meanings of movies with others :) I've also been treating myself to walks and solo skate sessions around the country every few days so that I don't spend all my time inside.

its time to stop

Why have Valve not said anything about this yet? Wouldn't it be in their best interest to advise their players not play the game for the time being?
Also, can they even recover from this? Or can this actually spell the end of both CSGO and TF2?

As a software dev, everything in those screens is very relatable.

This album is brilliant, almost certainly better than Drunk. Also the Dragonball Durag music video has to be the funniest music video I've seen in a good while:

This is going off-topic and I don't really expect this post to resonate with anyone or to even be well received or get any replies, but nonetheless I find this interesting and want to put this out there.

In my travels I've found that how friendly people are with strangers varies greatly from culture to culture. In Malta we're very mindful of our own business. We don't start conversations with strangers unless we absolutely have to. There is this air of untrust and skepticism towards strangers. And yet the ironic joke we repeat over here is that everybody knows everybody. This joke rings so true insofar as, if you come across someone you don't know, you are guaranteed to at least know someone that does know that person. Despite this level of untrust we treat strangers with, the crime rates in Malta are crazy low, and it rings true with the Maltese people, as xenophobic as it shows us as a people to be, that a large majority of crimes are caused moreso by foreigners than by locals. It pains me to back this sentiment up, but Christian morality values really do run deep over here. The Maltese people generally mean well despite how hostile they treat strangers. And they know this too - in some parts of Gozo, people still leave their keys in their parked cars. their garages fully open, their bicycles lying on the sidewalk unchained. I find this contrast really interesting.

Furthermore, some cities/states and their people have shown themselves to behave differently. Of the places I've been, Manchester and Sicily spring up as being some of the friendliest people I've come across. When I first went to these places, it was jarring and almost unsettling how friendly these people were. But it's really interesting just how easily they'll greet strangers on the street as if they've known them forever. As for crime rates I can't be fair in commenting inasfar as I haven't done my research well. I know that, last time I checked, Manchester has the second highest crime rate in England. but it isn't fair of me to make this comparison as this includes Greater Manchester, and I've only spent time in central Manchester.

This post didn't really go anywhere so much as it was just me expressing a sentiment. I guess the thing to take away from it is that the willingness to talk to strangers is also a very cultural thing inasmuch as it is a personal trait in the individual.

As much as I think you're spot on in the rest of your post, I take issue with this statement insofar as I don't know the details of your voting system.
1) Do the minor parties (eg. Green party) nominate candidates/run presidential campaigns? If these can be voted for and you agree with their politics, you ought to vote for them despite how obvious it is that they won't win
2) Are spoilt ballots/protest votes counted over there? And is the number of people who could have voted but chose not to counted over there? I know that for example in the UK, people who can vote but don't are not counted, but spoilt ballots are. In this case a spoilt ballot is the best form of protest in an electiom as it shows that you take such issue with the available candidates that you could be fucked to take time out of your day to go to the voting booth to express it.
