Rants far and wide

I will only ever be "fine"... Just an fyi....

Even if I'm not, I'm "fine".

Reiterating again...and again...and again...that screaming, yelling, and generally running people down for their mistakes does not, in fact, help reduce error. It destroys morale and cause a slump in production as well as an unfocused mind in the worker...which produces more mistakes.

And NO I am not the worker in question. I simply refuse to degrade my minions.

Donating $$ doesn't feel like enough. I desperately want to drive down to Houston and help rescue abandoned animals, but I can't. Being disabled sucks.

( I know normally we should avoid responding in this thread but more people might feel this way so I feel that public is better than pm ) Do not feel bad about doing what is within your skill set to aid people. We all do what we can. Most people could not help disabled or not because they lack the training or funds or skill sets to do so safely. You are doing what you can and that all that anyone can ask of you.

I see what you're doing. I've pointed it out. Knock. It. Off.

I am not a bad person.

When Trump won Florida, you went into the back room and changed from a Clinton shirt to a Trump shirt and hat. But you wonder why no one takes you seriously when you start talking about politics? Also what happened to the views you said you had for the 8 years under Obama? People don't turn into racist homophobes in 2 minutes. Either you lied when you the past 8 years about believing in equality and acceptance, or lying now about "never believing those things". Part of the reason our political process is so screwed up is because of people like you who give up their values to be on the winning side. Also this is not "Trumps America" It is America, it doesn't belong to any one person. Just because Trump won does NOT give you the right to abuse minorities.

My desire to be here is starting to rapidly deteriorate... *sighs*

You already know how to give up, wouldnt you find it useful to also know how to NOT give up?
