My roommate went nanners. I've been in a supportive housing program for almost two years. He was yelling all night for a week or two so I spent a few nights in a hotel. His behavior seemed to change in early February? Honestly I don't know what's wrong with him but I'd guess he's been unmedicated for about a year and I've been kinda ignoring him being benignly odd. Like vacuuming the coffee maker and cutting open cans with a knife.

Long story short at the end of February he started ripping out drywall and doors and carpet in the apartment. He helped trigger a pretty long psychotic episode in me and when I got out of the hospital his dad said he was in jail. Between that and the pandemic I lost a lot of grounding in reality. I don't know what to do about the damage since the I'm not the lease holder, it's a government program

I think he might have been selling drugs. He has two young children. It's all very sad. I'm still kinda shook

The fuck? I can only conclude that it's difficult to program an AI that isn't unusually attracted to discussions about falafel. Chickpeas are the robots weakness

Looks like you might be learning intricacies of auto insurance that most of us never consider. I do not envy you.

At work a few years ago a car drove through the front window.

Could have been way worse. Exciting day at the picture frame store

I started the dog job I mentioned in pubski a week or two ago. It really kinda sucks. :/ This picture is pretty good though

Basically the insane man with the conspiracy pamphlet shouting in a park in the 90s or earlier had an audience but he didn't have a vehicle for his message outside of the copier at the library. Now he has a mass audience and a vehicle and it turns out a lot of people are really stupid, they just were never exposed to the right level of stupid to make them dangerous
