I guess my point is, it is really cool seeing that list. You seem like a really cool dude and if we ever did have a conversation about the science stuff you did, just know I'd be sponging that up as best I could. I salute you.

Granted, I would probably be entirely unable to follow the science of it all, but I'd absolutely love to sit there and learn about it from someone who knows their stuff. It's far more interesting than just roleplaying being a mad scientist, you know the actual science and even the theoretical.

I can totally understand not having the strength to pursue it. But you definitely sounded passionate about it for a while, especially seeing you as a teacher twice on that list. Regardless of whether you have the passion or strength or enthusiasm now, I salute you for at least teaching.

That is a list that makes me want to sit there for hours and just learn everything from you. Highly impressive.

I love it, big bear! Very much seems like a ranch owner compliment to Bruce the farmer.

But hope is what I want for 2026. I need it to reset me and reenter my life. Happy New Year to everyone who read this whole thread.

At the very least, I want to build hope for 2026. With our country being so broken, so dismally broken that the only answer I truly believe in now is an act of instant destruction and violence so heinous it makes the French Revolution seem like a tea party dispute, it's a tall order to ask for hope.

I want to quit my job, burn it all down, and start over for 2026, but I can't. I'm stuck with what I have. And what I have is happy to leave me stuck, no matter how angry I feel. But I am trying my best every day. I am trying to be social when I can, I'm trying to be present. I'm trying to work.

I've never felt more alone than I do most days now with this job. I've never been untethered from my health this much. I've never been this far west, in a state where a good number of my coworkers are trans or LGBTQ+ like I am. And yet I still haven't been able to make friends either.

But also 2026 needs to be the year I get it on track again. I let myself down year after year for over a decade since I was psychologically abused for two years by an ex that refused to take the blame or understand the damage he caused. I gave up on life then in 2013. Sometimes almost completely.
