This is disgusting, preying as a health and fitness group and slowly grooming their minds to align with their ideals, if they aren't already.

If that's the government's goal and people are are willing to let that happen without a fight, then we may as well give up our free will and just obey as we're told. This is a disgrace imo.

I think this is absurd. Libraries are places of knowledge and curiosity. If people aren't thinking critically about what they read, the government shouldn't put the blame on libraries and librarians. They need to be more worried about educating the public by funding schools to teach students through critical thinking instead of memorization. Yes, that'll be harder to achieve, but the change will be transformative.

Mine has been alright. A few minor inconveniences, but they're over now. That is all.

I agree. A fine for damage could've been used instead.

This was a hilarious read. Thanks for posting.

I just purchased my first car today. I've never needed a car before because paying for Uber was cheaper, but now with my new job, transportation costs will be lower with a car.

I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I've heard about the stress that comes with driving, but never experienced it with a brand new car that I just purchased.

I'm also trying to find a good name for the car, but it should come to me in due time. Overall, I think it's worth it and that I'll hopefully feel less stressed the more I drive.

Holidays are going well. Visited NYC but spent more money than I expected, though. Also spent some time with my relatives, which was nice. Will be heading back to work for new year's Eve, but that's fine. Overall, it was a nice and fun trip.

Also visited a coin shop to add to my collection.

My week has had it's ups and downs. The down is that I'm still sick and can barely sleep due to coughing every fifteen minutes. The major up though is that the company I interviewed for two weeks ago called and told me they'd like me to come on board with them, which I'm excited for.

My week is starting off pretty good. I feel like a different person. I've got new plans for my life and have accepted the world that I live in. After all the hardship I've been through, I think that time has finally passed. I just need to flow with the river of life and see where it takes me.

My week has been alright. I'm still looking for another job where I can progress rather than being stuck in the same position, but it could be worse. I decided stop trying to reconnect with my dad since he has another family which is a whole other story.

I've also set my vacation plans for NYC for the holidays which I'll be looking forward to. Other than that, though, it's been fine. No major complaints.

Cherry blossom trees are my favorite. We had one on our front yard when I was a kid.
