XZanthia - Project 19.5 is the ethereal, experimental counterpart to my darker work—an evolving sound project rooted in ambient, noise, and esoteric electronic music. Originally begun in 1998, Project 19.5 explores liminal states, altered perception, and the space between signal and silence.

The difference between european and american politics from what i very very vagely understand isnt exactly all that different but its different enough to confuse the living daylights out of me

You know i will not get better. Infact i cannot deny what i perceive as reality. & oboy what i perceive is not pretty Visions. It contains Defeat & misery. & i somehow like that because than i dont have any expectations. Things will become SHIT anyways

On a clear night back in the 70's, I once picked up a static filled, triple scrambled microwave transmission between two CCP soldiers speaking in Mandarin Chinese on the AM dial.

even with Icemaggedon on the way, I bet the vegan chorizo is still fully stocked.

Hmm either the company I work for has just given me some incredible leverage to practially demand a raise or the whole thing has a big catch and they hope that I am to gullible to see it.

They recently laid off 20 % of the employees becasue of funding problems. Unfortunateley they also fired the person who was appointed officer for biological safetey... Now they desperateley need another employee to become that. But there is only a handfull of people who can thake the position as it has special requirements. Most suitable people don't want it because it is a hassle. I am amongst those few suited ones and they just asked me yesterday if I were interested in getting that extra qualification.
TBH I don't really want the hassle that comes with it and I am planning to leave the company as soon as I find a better job anyway. But the qualification will look very hot on my resume...
I have been fighting for a wage increase. Since I know they are desparate, I could practically bribe them into giving me a BIG fat raise or I will just not do it.
What do I have to loose? They can only say no then I'll also say no too. So what? It is a voluntary extra position, they cannot fire me for declining the responsibility. For me, things will stay same and they'll still have no one to be Biological safetey officer. Their probelm.

But I am not trusting them anymore so I kinda smell a rat (not the cute cuddly kind that smells like love and popcorn)...what could it be???
Will I have to give up my project lead position? Is it a degradation in disguise? WHAt could be the catch???
Time to do some research....

The reason Republicans won't abolish the filibuster is that it gives them an excuse to block President Trump's agenda without admitting they're siding with Democrats.

Between 6 and 12 Republican senators refuse to budge. The number of backstabbers in Congress is truly troubling.

They need to be called out and removed, starting with Thune!
