This is interesting, but it doesn’t surprise me.

The person that I have been… keeping up on for valid reasons, was arrested this past week.

Apparently this person was, and has been, charged with one count of criminal trespass in the first degree and one count of resisting arrest. He’s supposed to show up at the courthouse early next week, which I know for a fact he won’t do unless someone physically makes him attending arraignment. This is the same person that eventually became convicted of the shoplifting offense that happened in that very county because he refused to come to all other court hearings after his county physically made him appear at the arraignment. I don’t know that his county’s criminal justice unit will get quite so lucky this time, and given how he’s deleted all of the social media sites that were public and that he used… this might have been premeditated, and he might have expected in his mind that “something could have haopened” (law enforcement involvement).

The fact that he hasn’t fled this state as fast as he’s fled others (and in one case, country) speaks volumes. He has more than likely tried to. All of his family members appear unwilling to help him, even some that had helped him out in the past. I can’t say that I blame them. It also seems like his friends are… not his friends any more, or not as close as they had been. Again, I can’t say that I blame them for any of this, because I don’t.

I don’t really know how else to word this.

The links may be long, but I am in support of the sentiment that at least tries to root cheaters out of multiplayer games. It’s a little more tolerable if you do whatever you want on your own time, provided that you don’t absolutely break the game, but streaming or competing for something and using cheats is where I draw the line. People make content and watch streamers to watch how they themselves actually play, even if they’re not too good at it. I’d actually rather see someone be bad at a game than openly cheat like this…

I got next to none of what I wanted, apparently.

The decision was to put me on a beta blocker, among other things, until I could see cardiology.

That isn’t going so well. I’ve been on it for two days and am now explosively coughing, which is a side effect that asthmatic people can have when they take these things (although some of them are better than others, and I wouldn’t trust any more of them going forward). I have tried three different cough medicines that are in this house that I have available to me, and none of them are working to allay this explosive cough. I think this is giving me no choice but to stop the beta blocker, which I can do tonight because I want to stop feeling miserable coughing all of the time. Surely there has to be something else that I can be prescribed that addresses similar concerns without causing explosive coughing that happens at… all… periods… of the day. The benzonatate (“tessalon”) pills that my lung doctor prescribed me aren’t even helping allay this cough, and normally they help with almost everything cough-related. And there’s the on-call nurse until Monday.
