I just heard that there was study done where people can be “bored out” rather than “burned out” at a job, because they feel that the job has lost it’s meaning and has no real point anymore… I think they might have been talking about me! 
32 years in IT has made some of the magic fade I’m afraid… 
Saw a post questioning why it was controversial to blame cats for ecological collapse.
I brought up how humans and their infrastructure is majority to blame.
Someone presents to me a graph as a “gotcha”, which said that “cats” in the US killed 2.4 billion birds per year, and this person then attacked cat owners for letting them out.
And then with some research and help from another account who deals with stats, I found the actual static for cat-owners in the US would be 100-300 million (assuming every cat kills 1-5 birds a year), while for human activity, it’d be 15 billion.
I despise stuff that’s misleading like that. How the graph combined every type of cat, but separated every human activity to make them look less impactful. And then it being presented as something all cat owners should feel ashamed and responsible for when most were wild, or abandoned strays.
Someone even sent me a picture of a dead cat being eaten by bald eagles…a species which nearly died from human activity. They meant it in good-faith but the image was unnecessary. Blocked them anyway.
They all seemed to want to blame and shame rather than discuss. I wanted to discuss solutions other than keeping cats indoors (because that’s not something you can completely control, nation-wide), but I kept on being called “bird-killer” instead.
Ig that’s internet politics though, but now I’m very down.
I got Wilson some extra treats afterwards (and he is an indoor cat, goes outside accompanied), he made me feel better..
I visited him today. He seems alright enough. We spent about an hour in his campus and talked about random things.
My train leaves late in the night so I wondered around in the city for a bit, and went to a stand-up. Front seat. The jokes were a bit predictable and there wasn’t as much interaction as I wanted. But the last one (there were three comedians and each got 30min) was pretty good and most importantly, he gendered me correctly and we had a lovely (and also predictable) crowd work about my relationship status and sexuality 
Having a bit of an off day which is frustrating when I want to listen to more DW, just feel it clouds my judgement 
Hope it is better tomorrow 
Found out my favourite chippy is closing Sunday 
So ordered from them today and it wasn’t even as good as usual either
A great chippy is hard to find.
I’m sad today.
Can’t really explain why, I’m just sad.
Had to Google “chippy,” and the first hit was “a woman that has many sexual partners.” I don’t think that is what it meant.
After some more Googling, I understand that it is a fish and chips shop. That sucks!
I have never ever heard of it as meaning that slang way But yes, a fish and chip shop!
Oh, it also means fish n chip shop? You learn something new everyday 
The arm is still hurting, which is very annoying. No idea what’s caused it but just an annoyance now
I see this in a new light now 
I personally was assuming that it was someplace that sold fish and chips. (Though I’ve personally never had fish and chips, as the fish part is an issue…)
You are missing out. It is good!
Well, you can have the ‘and chips’ part then!
You can order much more than fish at a chippy!
Battered sausage and chips is a classic… and haggis from a chippy 
Or if you want to shorten your life span, deep fried pizza slices
