Except I pretty much need avatars to keep people straight. Must easier to glance at an avatar than to have to read a name.

There really should be an option to just turn off Newbie avatars.

I guess after Lowtax doesn't make enough money to fix DB3, he can try to not make enough money to add that feature.

If you have like uBlock you can just right click them and block element. Pretty sure they're all from the same source so that should work.

Guessing you phone post a lot and this won't help because of course it won't. I still haven't done this because then I won't be able to differentiate them from the folk who legit don't have avatars at all.

I either don't care too much about who individual SA posters are or use the SALR extension to highlight individual posters. Beats looking at the dumb newbie avs or anime/cat avs all the time.

But how are we to distinguish that you aren't actually named after the nexus 6 then? sure you posted about it, but if you had a unique av, we would know it was you and not someone else with a similar name.

My ISP now offers a faster and cheaper plan than what I currently have, but apparently the only way to change it is calling them, and there's always a long wait on hold. I can't be bothered to wait 5 minutes on the phone :negative:

Some cheapskate fuckhead decided it would be a fantastic idea to save a buck by telling our ISP to limit us to 150GB/month and the throttled speeds are so slow that such intensive acts of internet usage like logging in to things and posting time out.

My mom woke me in a panic about 930pm last night (I went to bed at 5pm to be up by 1am) screaming that a cat had knocked over one of my snake cages. What she really meant to say was one of HER cats knocked one of my baby snake totes about 30* to the side. So I get up, deal with her, find all the snakes fine, and can't get back to sleep for the next loving 5 hours. I had to call out sick to work because I could barely keep my eyes open at 3am. And now my mom is angry that I'm pissed she woke me for no reason. Or at the very least, she could have MOVED the loving tote back 30* and let me sleep.

When I got my new apartment I didn't realize granite counter-tops would have so many loving rules. Guess I need to buy some sorta sealant so I don't have to worry as much, but that's like 2 things I have to do: buy a thing, and then use it. Like I'm some sorta goddamned wizard.

I also didn't get any sleep because I stayed up playing Fallout 4 to the point I was like "well if I don't go to sleep right now, I won't wake up when the alarm clocks go off" but then I get a tornado warning thing on my phone app deal that local news agrees with so I had to go wait in the pseudo-basement for a half hour hoping the big bad wolf wouldn't huff and puff and blow the apartment building down. I then got a text message alert at 4:44 am saying there was a tornado warning until 4:45 am...thanks for the heads up?

Oh my god. There was a guy in my class who would NEVER blow his nose. So every lecture I had with him, for three years, SNRRRRK.... SNNRRRRK... I was on friendly enough terms with him to offer him a box of kleenex, and he would always say "nope, it only goes one way hurr hurr" What a disgusting rear end in a top hat.

My FWP lately is that my new house, while beautiful and largely awesome, has very little built-in storage. Both bathrooms only have the sink console and no proper storage or shelving. Closets are just tiny empty rooms. So I have been buying a fuckton of shelving units and storage furniture. But to get quality furniture that isn't glued sawdust, it is $100-$300 per unit. It feels like playing the sims, starting out with bare cube rooms and filling them as I get paid.

Reheated leftover pizza in the box so as not to dirty any plates. Now some cheese has melted and hardened onto the cardboard so I cant get it off without pieces of cardboard stuck to it.

The trick is buying pizza greasy enough to self-lubricate itself off the cardboard.

Today's FWP: it's 35°c today and I have to walk up a small incline to get back to the train station. It takes me maybe ten minutes at most. I'm probably going to die (I am a fat).

My friend had an odd one today.

There was a frog in his toilet. Little 2" rainfrog. Just, chillin in the bowl on the side.

Luckily he found out before he peed on it, or worse, had a frog land on his nuts if he sat down.

First I've heard of something like that, but god help me all I could think of was :frogout:

AND the OBD 2 software I bought for my new car doesn't have Oil pressure or Temperature so now I have to rely on the dashboard gauge until I can find a way to manually add them. I could buy different software but I really like Torque and don't want to change.

With the way PC gaming has stagnated, going all out is really pointless. Half of my gear is either mid-range or 3 years old and can run new games at either highest, near to highest graphics settings.

I guess my first world problem is how console gaming has held back the PC master race for years now.

I never carry cash but similarly I cannot find a wallet I like. I had a Mighty Wallet (Tyvek paper wallet), but it looked horrible after 3 years, so now I'm back to my old leather wallet.


Despite having a newish gaming PC and running poo poo amazingly I super dislike the "pc master race" stuff. Mainly because anytime it comes up in earnest someone mentions all the tweaks that have to be made for games at launch in ini files and driver updates and poo poo, and the "pc master race" denies that's a thing. We all know very well that the majority of the time it's a thing, just admit it and argue that at least there's an option to fix poo poo that's not in the game's native settings or whatever. Also some games are better enjoyed from the couch, especially anything with local multiplayer, as rare as that seems to be these days, and no, not everyone has a PC in their living room like a loving weirdo (I do, but I'm a loving weirdo).

Which reminds me, I have too many computers/laptops and don't know what to do with them all. I wanna say the number is 5?...no, no it's 6. Seven if a Raspberry Pi counts.

I don't know what to do with my Raspberry Pi.

Oh yeah, Amazon delayed the delivery of my Roomba by a loving day. A whole day!
