Had to drive to Taco Bell on my lunch break at work to get food. Received a free Dr. Pepper because person taking the order was old. Straw wrapper was damp from the cup when she handed it to me, so the straw didn't come out from the wrapper easily.

Nine times out of ten, the only Youtube advertisement I get before a video is the loving Zoom Tan one. The music gets stuck in my head all day after that and I just have to wonder...who even stops someone on the street and compliments them on their tan? Who does that? What if the person is just one of those people that's a different race aside from white and you're too dumb to figure out what? (Although sometimes I look at a person and have to wonder exactly what ethnicity they are.)

It haunts me.



Also, I'm black. The gently caress do I need a tan for?

I really hate that fast food places like McDonald's and Wendy's serve breakfast menus. Why the gently caress can't I have a Big Mac or a chicken sandwich at 8am? Plus their breakfast items are always loving disgusting. I tried them and it's bread that tastes like styrofoam with some "sausage" that just tastes like solidified oil, and some "eggs" that are like fried vomit.

And then other places like Jimmy Johns aren't open till 11am or so. And then there's Corner Bakery, which actually makes good breakfast food, keeps changing their menu so now they don't serve ham in the morning (wtf??), only bacon, but I don't want loving bacon. I asked the lady if I could have ham instead and she said no. Come on, it's a piece of lunch meat, just take it out of the drat fridge! It's not like you have to cook it!

I don't think so. I think a metric of a modern city should be how much there us to do on the middle of the night. Here we have strip clubs and waffle house, but no public transportation.

Agreed to foster a Bengal cat who needs to be spayed, but since we're taking the last of our foster kittens to be spayed, no big deal, she can chill in another cat condo and we'll have a road trip. But the oval office who WAS fostering her didn't mention she's in heat. Vets here won't spay a cat in heat. So when we refused to take the cat, she got extremely pissy with us.



Why the gently caress doesn't McDonalds do whatever food you want, whatever time, like Burger King? I'm going to the latter more often because I can get loving fries at 4am.


I was setting up an appointment to meet someone to pick up fish, and asked if we could meet a little closer to me. The dude's reply was no, because he expected me to catch all the fish, bag and tag them, and then pay him for them. Sorry dude, when I sell fish I loving bag them for the people because that is loving nice to do.

I got my mom a chromebook for her birthday and a Kindle Fire for Mother's Day, so she can play her Farmville games without her old desktop. As far as I know she has yet to use the former and has used the latter once.

And it's all over Facebook, and one of the few radio talk shows I like that plays music too, will not shut the gently caress up about how 'PC loving crazy" the world has become, where you can't tell a gay person NO BECAUSE YOU'RE A FAG or say the N word without getting in trouble. One guy keeps harping that he respects Trump for refusing to back down or apologize; he doesn't like the dude's stance but finds it funny and loves that Trump is a proud racist. And in between sucking off Trump he whines how hard it is to be a straight white man and you can't point out the "freaks" anymore. Dude, shut the gently caress up and go back to doing funny impressions, I don't want to hear your poo poo about how being a rich white man is 'so hard in this PC liberal fucktopia.'

Hell, when I was doing my undergrad I was in a town where everything opened at noon and closed at 6 on Sundays, from the restaurants to the mall. That's no way to live. That whole area should've had Sarah McLachlan playing in the background at all times.

So to answer your question, no. That country should be close to losing its planet Earth status at that point.

All Trader Joes play this godawful 1930s/1940s music and it drives me loving insane. I've been to like 15 TJs and they all do it. Who decided that it was a good idea? Trader Joe himself or whatever his real name is? The one TJ near me was staffed by cool people and played normal music (like 80s/90s pop and rock) but last time I went they were playing that loving old timey music!!! Corporate must have come in and chewed them out. UghHhhh


Like this type of poo poo

I'm also upset that I spent 15 minutes trying to find the exact era of that type of music, and so I had to actually listen it on my own will and not forced on me by TJ speakers.

E: and now one of the songs is stuck in my head! Noooooooo

We connected a chromecast to the TV in the office but my phone won't detect it. I have no reason to use it, don't own one myself and have no intention of getting one but it irritates me that I can't connect.

I've read that using the TV USB port might not be supplying enough power, but if that's the case how exactly is it 'wireless' if you have to plug it into the mains to use it?

It also only works if the TV has a true USB port. On a lot of TVs, that's actually just a "service port" and doesn't properly supply the volts and/or amps the Chromecast needs.


Sometimes I like to look through the entirety of the "For Sale" section of my local Craigslist just to see what wacky poo poo people are selling, and Hell, sometimes you spot something you didn't know you need/want for a good deal.

Except that I never want to see cars, car parts, car accessories, etc... (and ditto for motorcycles.) Craigslist really needs to implement some sort of filtering/smart search other than just keyword. Just have checkboxes for what categories you want to have listed. It's 2015, for gently caress's sake. I know that part of craigslist's charm is it's old-as-gently caress design and architecture, but there's something to be said for making at least a few strides in the name of usability.

Are there any third-party sites that basically do what I'm asking? Just pull all the data from CL, but present it in an actual easy-to-view and sort fashion?

My historic hometown decided to indicate which businesses in historic downtown had nighttime hours by hanging big gaudy yellow OPEN LATE flags over their buildings. C'mon, it's a place trying to be quaint and charming to suck down tourist dollars. The locals know what's open after dark and what's worth visiting after dark.

One time I went to the doctor and only had enough time to sit down and open the game I was playing on my phone before they called me back. I just wanted to play a few rounds of Crossy Roads (or whatever the gently caress it was at the time) before my checkup.

A lot of stores around here will be open late or 24/7 but they'll close down one of their entrances "for safety reasons" and it's always the more convenient exit and it always gets closed mid visit, so you'll go in but you have to go out the far one :argh:

Just to give you more insight in with what kind of opening hours I have to deal with here.
Mo-Fri: Stores not in Malls or at the trainstation open at 7:30AM and close at 6:30PM maybe 8PM if its a big chain shop.
Sat: Stores open at 8:30AM and close at 5PM .
Sun: Need food or something else? Better haul your rear end to one of the shops at the trainstation cause only those are open on Sunday, even the Malls close.

Stores at the station are open monday to Sunday from roughly 5AM to 10PM.

And this is not some podunk city. This is the loving capital city of Switzerland.
