Overwatch is the legitimate successor to Team Fortress 2 for better and for worse, so if you want the best in class-based shooters Overwatch is your fit.

Edit: gently caress, starcraft 2 came out 6 years ago. My new FWP is that I'm ancient. mind the walrus posted:Overwatch is the legitimate successor to Team Fortress 2 for better and for worse, so if you want the best in class-based shooters Overwatch is your fit. I liked TF2 a lot, and watching how some of the characters work in Overwatch has really tempted me. Pharah looks exactly like the best parts of old arena shooters brought into a modern shooter. Rocketing nerds from above is extremely satisfying. Fashionable Jorts has a new favorite as of 08:13 on Oct 7, 2016 |

I got a spinach & bacon mini quiche for lunch and the "bacon" part appears to be just a single half-strip plopped on top. good thing I like spinach I guess

Trump fuckmuppetry has finally directly impacted my life. Some racist rear end in a top hat threatened to pull a gun on one of the truck drivers at work for the egregious crime of being Hispanic In Texas and now in addition to all the other poo poo i have to do during my shift, I have to keep an eye out for "any suspicious older white males". The sooner this loving election is over, the better.

The good news is, my 2-3 day cold is resolving itself nicely. I can finally do things other than laying around and groaning! The bad news is, all my body wants to do now that my cold is resolving is lay around and recover.

I'm with you Bibs. I had a brush with serious organ failure this week and my boss called and threatened me if I couldn't make my weekend shift (i had more than enough pto). My doctor cleared me for work with the proviso "if you feel like it" but now that I'm here I realize I should really be at home resting. I can do the shift, of course, I just don't like mortgaging my mid-term health for people threatening my employment. Oh and I'm reasonably sure he shared that I was in the Hospital while I was gone, but without proof I can't do poo poo. I need to leave this job 8 months ago.

I looked it up, not illegal. Yes it's hosed. That's only the second-worst thing this guy has done to me when it comes to sharing sensitive medical information with co-workers and the third worst thing he's done to me overall. He's the worst boss I've ever had and I've worked in a call center. On the bright side this is great motivation to get out of this job asap.

A friend of mine may get suspended from his work for using "too much PTO". When he asked how much is too much, they said "you can't abuse it. You're abusing it!" even though he's not using more than he's earned. He put it well by saying that they've told him not to speed but the road his no posted limit. They do this to everyone they don't like for petty reasons. In his case, it's because he has (a very nice and well-maintained) beard. I'm not joking. The boss likes clean shaven but can't make official rules enforcing it.

Got my new debit card... and it's a goddamn chip & pin. Here's to standing in line for five minutes while my inserted card goes through, only for it to BAPBAPBAP-BAPBAPBAP-BAPBAPBAP-BAPBAPBAP-BAPBAPBAP at me until I remove it. Also, this new card isn't an Allpoint Network card whereas my old one was, so there goes my grossly expansive ATM coverage where I can pull out cash practically anywhere fee free

I decorated for Halloween and while it looks good, only one other house on my street has decor up, and we rarely get any trick or treaters. Skipping out on a Pokemon Go event today because the maps are all down and there's no way to verify the actual nest is still there. If it was closer I wouldn't mind heading out, but a 30 minute drive for possibly nothing means I stay at home.

I'm so bored, and neither me or my partner can think of anything to do. The most active, productive thing I've done today and wash my somewhat-scuzzy microfiber rags, which the drying is taking the longest.

Every time I get the chance to shove my hands in clay it makes me happy but reminds me how sterile my job is. The office is just so clean and I can't dress in rags there. I much prefer being dirty while making stuff in cheap, old clothing I bought for almost nothing.

IKEA update: -they no longer have lingonberry soft drink -their hot dogs are no longer tasty -they no longer sell square glass lamps Very sad. Stupid IKEA keeps getting worse and worse. The furniture from there that I got in 2000 is still like new but stuff I got 2 years ago is falling apart (except one dresser that's made of solid wood). Ugh I am sad. E: I am seriously depressed they don't have the square glass lamp anymore. I keep breaking them and I was gonna buy some replacements. They had them earlier this year, why would they get rid of them.

I work at a small family business and the boss' wife keeps trying to include her weird, spergy sons in all us girls' off work activities. And not just in a "hey, you might be interested" way, but a weird and bitchy "you girls went to the movies last weekend, so you're in some kind of movie club, why don't you invite my boys??" kind of way. Her sons now work at the business because apparently they can't cut it in the fast-paced world of Amazon, where one of them literally described his job as "tetris with boxes for 2 hours, then nothing for six". These young men are so hosed up I can't even figure out if it's something like autism or their upbringing or both. One of them was fake laughing very obviously the other morning at the radio and it was creepy as poo poo because I was standing next to him. He talks like a robot from some alternate dimension and all of his reactions are clearly faked, but they weren't home-schooled so the reason of their fuckedupness is making me crazy trying to figure it out. I just don't understand their loving damage and it's driving me insane because I have to deal with them all the time at work and their crazy mother keeps trying to get them into our off work stuff. NO I WON'T GO SEE PETE THE DRAGON WITH YOUR WEIRD CHILDREN, I AM 30 drat YEARS OLD.

How is America so bad at this? Chip and PIN is supposed to be more convenient, secure, and reliable than the old system, not less, and you should be using contactless payment by now anyway like everyone else is.

Yeah the credit card payment thing is going through a confusing mess right now since people are used to swiping and a lot of stores haven't upgraded their chip system yet so the inserting doesn't work either. I'm hoping an Apple pay or other smartphone equivalent takes over and we can entirely bypass physical credit cards sooner than later.

This, plus most places I used my old card at was just swipe and go, no PIN input. I don't find chip & PIN more convenient at all. Also, I'm an old bastard who's set in his ways and enjoys swiping cards. Why yes, as a matter of fact, I am talking to you from the year 1963.

my only issue so far with chipped cards is that most of the readers take for-loving-ever to process a transaction.

Yeah it used to be mildly awkward waiting for the card swipe to process but now you have just enough time to look around but not enough time to really chit chat. Sucks all around.

I'm autistic and I feel comfortable saying that nothing about any of what you're saying is normal or healthy for anyone. Don't bother trying to understand their headspace, it's not going to happen. Be direct if he's making you uncomfortable as it is happening and set a polite but firm boundary, weird as that is, and he'll likely back off without raising a fuss... Unless he's a true brat.

Noctone posted:my only issue so far with chipped cards is that most of the readers take for-loving-ever to process a transaction. I think it's because there's a lot more data that has to get transmitted, AND it has to go back-and-forth more, but it's still on old-as-gently caress phone lines at most retailers instead of the high speed internet lines. And most (all?) places aren't even chip+PIN, they're chip+signature. Under $50 or so, no signature required, but over that, you have to sign. But if most people are like me, most purchases are under $50 so I don't think to look at the screen so then it takes even longer on a larger purchase cause I don't notice it's waiting for me to sign.

The target near me didn't have Passion tea so I looked online and they said the next nearest one had it. So I drove all the way over and they don't have it! Plus this target always smells weird and is dirty. Also they need to have self-checkout licenses so you can't use one unless you pass a test. 99.9% of people are loving MORONS AND I AM VERY ANGRY RIGHT NOW
