Have you two discussed having an abortion? Or adoption?

Girlfriend is pregnant. I'm a senior in college, she's a junior. She's a devout Catholic and won't consider giving up the child. I'm so [bleep]ing lost

 

I suppose that answers your question.

Rough, man. Wish you the best.

 

However, being a dad has its perks.

Not that I suggest an abortion, but typically actual devout Catholics don't have premarital sex in the first place...

Well, there are different standards to what is considered proper in faith or not.

 

Harsh double standards exist in these topics...

In some religions, sure. In Roman Catholicism, the doctrine is about as clear cut as it can be.

 

Now, that's not to say that people don't decide to ignore parts of it; clearly they do. But once you're prepared to shed one vital tenet of an ideology, subsequent ones usually drop off more easily.

Ever seen the movie Knocked Up?

Yes. She's not comfortable with either option. Tbh I'm open to thinking about them, but I don't think I could ever ultimately give up a child.

You can still lead a perfectly functional life as a father, with or without baby momma. As the father your job to be supportive of both of them regardless and provide what you can to your best efforts.

Don't get tricked into thinking that you HAVE to move in with her right away and eventually get married and all of that. A baby in the picture doesn't mean that you can suddenly become the picture perfect nuclear family. 2 separated but happy parents is infinitely better than 2 parents that are together but don't want to be.

We are going to planned parenthood Thursday to confirm and see what our options are.

TRP is a [bleep]ing garbage disposal unit for self pity. Just talk to women like people and express yourself. The end.

I went to a campaign talk by the Democratic candidate, Deborah Ross, running against Senator Richard Burr (R-NC). You may remember him from such horrors as "Sponsor of the Cybersecurity Information Act" co-starring Dianne Feinstein in 2015, and other such things. Went well. Even asked her how she differentiates herself from Richard Burr on privacy and security, and her response was satisfactory enough. I mean, it would be hard to be as bad as Burr.

 

Also I was most surely the youngest by maybe 10 years. Got asked if I'm with any news organizations, too, because of my clothes, which I took as a compliment.

Way to go, set a good example for your peers :).

javascript is a [bleep]ing stupid language. spent my whole day trying to write a single end to end test for a part of our software with protractor/jasmine and wondering why my test case crashed and burned consistently only to realize that its because all my functions were firing off at random orders before Angular even loaded. noob mistake but it's annoying as hell, now I'm going to have to spend all of tomorrow making sense of promises and how to use these frameworks to deal with async stuff. new jobs are frustrating lmao

 

I also had to come home to deal with a clogged sink for the second time this week which is not fun lmao. adulting sucks.

 

On the bright side now that all my furniture is built I've finally been able to start exercising again which has felt really good. Also I'm two days away from going to Bumbershoot which should be an awesome time even if the lineup isn't particularly incredible.

If you ever get confused, remember: promises are just monads

 

Lol

Voting, or attending campaign talks, or anything else most anyone does is is really so minimally effective it might as well be disregarded. I went to ask her a question--how she differentiate herself from Senator Burr in regards to privacy and security--so as when I cast my meaningless votes this November, one choice is less uninformed.

 

To be frank, most every person contributes nothing to whatever idea of progress they have. Voters go out and vote for candidates who most often protect the interests of the 0.1%. Or they attend campaign speeches in the tens of thousands, but then sit at home when it comes time to vote. Or they argue on the internet about their ideals--the same ideals they sacrifice to the point of worthlessness for expediency and comfort--as if they have some sanctity. We all are subject to incredible biases, from internal and external experiences, and yet we pretend we're special and our views our rational and sound and researched, while the opposing views are irrational and unsound and unfounded.

 

You know, I learned recently to simply ignore 'the 99.9%'. It's those who call for a violent socialist revolution from their chairs manufactured in China and Taiwan and Indonesia on their computers designed by capitalist behemoths--like Apple or Microsoft, Intel or AMD, Dell or HP--posting their angsty opinions on data mining sites like Reddit or Facebook or Twitter. It's those who defend their second amendment rights while having never even read the Constitution in its entirety, demanding a small-big government, who think companies for some reason are better--including morally!--than their incompetent, authoritarian counterparts. It's those who think everything is okay and fine and the others--whatever less-than-moderate views they hold--are wrong, as wealth inequality divides the very richest from everyone else, less favorable government powers and services increase while more favorable government powers and services are eroded, ecosystems and communities are destroyed across the world, that everything is fine or getting better because crime has gone down and wars are less common.

 

The only people who affect the world are those who act. Sadly, those who act are those with massive social, political, or financial capital who advance their selfish, oligarchical ideals or those who are zealots or destitute or brainwashed and end up doing terrible things.

 

It's a shame.

Planned Parenthood confirmed our suspicions. I applied for jobs, got hired as a delivery driver for papa johns. So it goes.

Any chance for family to help out until you graduate?

Yes. Haven't told them yet, though. It will mean a lot to my dad that I sought out a second job, he's old school like that.

This hurricane has been pretty unimpressive so far. I might actually have to go into work tomorrow.
