Vaguely related, I keep meaning to start getting lotto tickets (now that I've built my gaming computer, there's not a hell of a lot for me to spend my paychecks on after the one bill I'm responsible for) but keep either forgetting, or sinking into  . Because, in the incredibly unlikely chance that I do win any money, I'd need a ride down to Austin to turn in the ticket (or so I'm told) and gently caress that noise.

Cats. You love them, feed them, give them a place to stay, play with them, brush them, and snuggle them. They pay you back by peeing in your dryer.

Before I realized what the problem was my one cat would pee/poo poo everywhere but her favorite places were clean laundry and the stove. The stove was an electric one with exposed coils, so there was an exhaust pipe from the oven going up through one of the burners. I spent hours cleaning it and thought I got it all, so I went to make a pie, but upon the oven heating up the whole house got this horrific smell of cooking ammonia and cat poo poo so noxious I had to open every single window all the way and it still took hours to go away. I literally thought I was going to die. I had to get a whole new stove, with a ceramic top. poo poo is expensive and hard to maintain, and if it scratches, there's no way to fix it. AND I didn't realize it at the time of purchase but this particular model doesn't have a timer that shuts the oven off so I ended up cooking a pizza for like 3 hours. It was black. But why the gently caress doesn't a supposedly fancy, expensive oven have this as a basic feature?

Another problem: I really can't deal with my neighbors anymore. For 6 years I had no one occupying the apartment next to me. This apartment's kitchen shares a wall with my bedroom. Last year, some people moved in and every night between 7-11pm they cook something so amazingly delicious smelling that I drool all night. They must be professional chefs. Sometimes it's Indian food, sometimes it's chicken soup, frequently it's Hispanic food, and last night it was tortillas. It's so strong. I tried opening the window but it just made it worse, maybe because their window was open too. Then they reheat it in the morning. I am so hungry constantly even though I'm not actually hungry. The week of Christmas was so awesome because they were on vacation and I didn't have to smell it. This is the weirdest neighbor problem I think.

Clearly the solution is an elaborate scam of pretending to become good friends with them, and then getting yourself injured and bedridden so they start coming over and bringing you food.

The last time I had neighbors, they were below me in a 2 story and it was two girls and a guy. They frequently had really boring-sounding threesomes. After a particularly lazy session, I blurt out laughing and one of the girls shouts, "gently caress You!" and the next time they all play it up and fake the loudest orgasims in the world.

If I had neighbors that shouted "gently caress you!" after catching me laughing at their bad sounding sex, I'd probably have no choice but to retort in context, like "Well considering how it sounds down there, I'll just stay up here and whack off instead, but thanks!" There was a while where I swear my upstairs neighbors were filming porn at night. There'd be the pre-requisite loud sex moaning going on above us, and at the same time, lots of foot stamping all over. In the same room. We were also tempted at one point to call CPS on these same neighbors because during the daytime it appeared there were zero adults and at least 5 children under 10 up there all day long. On school days.

I really really want some DLC for a game but I can't justify $30 for 20 more songs in a rhythm game I got for $30 that came with 200.  My solution is to stay up all night downloading Final Fantasy OSTs when my sleeping habits are already bad enough that I went whining at A/T.

Man, everybody refers to my username like it's some sort of gospel about who I am. I got it in a username change thread years ago. #FWP I live alone and don't like to come home to a dark house at night, so I set my lights to come on before I get there. That's like the point of the feature. Anyway I figured it out and fixed the problem. Now I have remote controlled color changing lights outside my house and I have to wait till Valentine's day so I can change them cool colors in honor of a holiday. Also I spent a shitton of money on lightbulbs.

Related: Bowie's last album, "Blackstar" is very good. I'm glad he went out on high praise but now we won't get anything else. He was a huge part of growing up for a lot of people that his death seems so unreal.

My graphics card is only 1GB so my games run shittily. I really shouldn't complain because for being a 3.5 year old mac laptop, the games do run fine on my windows partition, and I even connected my PS4 controller to work with them. But... I want to be able to put the settings on something more than "minimum". And not that I would do it anyways, but it would be stupid to build a gaming PC because I need the Apple OS for programs and poo poo, and you can't customize a mac so you're stuck with whatever garbage they decide is good, and I wouldn't want to try a hackintosh if that's even possible anymore. I want pretty, shiny graphics

I feel like poo poo and got gently caress all sleep last night. As a result, trying to do much of anything is making me feel exhausted, which is an issue when I'm doing housework. Not unfairly, it's pissing others off a bit to see me mostly standing around uselessly then act as tired as them.

My klepto cousin is being kicked out of the state but isn't leaving until Thursday and until then, is staying with us  Why? Because my mother, kind soul that she is, was the only family member who didn't tell her to take a long walk off a short pier when she got kicked out of where she was saying, because of her kleptomania.I love Mom dearly, but I really need her to understand that just because we share a few DNA strands with this person does not mean we should move earth and heaven for them. Also, SA was down all night so I had to actually pay attention to the TV instead of use it for background light and noise

To contribute, timezones meant that SA was down all of my day, and Lowtax woke to fix it just as I probably should have been going to sleep (spoilers, I didn't go to sleep then), which contributed to the issues in my last post.

I got sick of the constant UPGRADE pop ups so I got windows 10 and now nothing works. Now I have to spend 1000 hours figuring out what's wrong. Ughghhhhhh Oh and it's a Mac so there's no Ethernet without a thunderbolt adapter but I don't think that can even work on the windows side so I'm stuck downloading everything over wifi, which is super slow. UPDATE I had to revert back to windows 7 because it was so broken. Why does windows suck so much. Thin Privilege has a new favorite as of 22:15 on Jan 14, 2016 |

The passing Alan Rickman is the first celebrity death in some time to get to me. My girlfriend and I had been slowly making our way through the Harry Potter movies this month, and we only had the last two left. I feel that the ending to them will be devastating now.
