I get real mad when on tumblr I see posts exclaiming "omg i ship these 2 ppl isnt that weird does anyone ship them too???!!!!111" and they are talking about a relationship that is literally canon, these two characters are actually in some kind of romantic relationship in the entertainment medium under discussion

I recall some stdh.txt from tumblr where some high school student found out their teacher shipped like, Sherlock and his buddy or whatever, and they became bffs for the rest of life and talked about it all the time. Why yes, I do want to talk about some gross sex thing with my teenage student.

I heard it supposedly has good porn?

I wish we still had tumblr mock threads. Those were hilarious :(

Also, I slept even worse last night. Maybe I'm just not used to having a nice bed with clean sheets :( I think I'm overdosing myself on OTC sleeping pills; I'd go to the doctor but I don't want any visits from the Ambience walrus.. sounds fun in a way but I also don't want to end up asleep naked in the McDonalds drive-thru.

-I've started taking my allergy medicine regularly again and now I notice all sorts of horrible smells.

-I drank too much caffeine again. I always do this as if I forget that this makes me extremely sick, despite the fact that I know FULL WELL that it does so. Why the gently caress do I keep doing it?

-I'm complaining too much

I love cooking and planning big, easily re-heatable meals for the week, but I don't actually like eating them? I don't mind leftovers because I'm lazy, but I just want to order a pizza or something. I'm too lazy af to want to eat the healthy, delicious meals I've made for the next 4 days. I don't even know how heating up a container and stirring and adding hot sauce or cheese is more work to my stupid brain than picking up a sub on the way home or ordering a pizza but WTF BRAIN, I'M BROKE AND FAT AND WANT TO STOP BEING BOTH, GOD.

Also I finished The OA last night and what the hell did I spend 8 hours on?

I had to move to The City for my job. I kind of knew it was coming as I chose to be a programmer. All told it's a good career but good luck doing it in a rural place.

But I miss the rural place! I like living in the woods. I like the quiet. I like the terrain of hilly or mountainous, wet and cold places with poo poo loads of trees.

That however puts me in a catch 22 sort of situation. I like the people in The City. I don't miss living around angry, racist white people that hate everything. I especially don't miss the psychotic fundie evangelicals.

It's an odd place. Nice to visit but yea, wouldn't want to live there.

I think I'm a doctor, but that doesn't make me a doctor. This fancy avatar does.
My GF bought a quart of paint last night for a project, but it was too late to start, so she left it sitting on an end table in the living room. At some point during the night, the cat decided the paint can (and most of the paint within) looked better on the living room floor.

It's latex paint, at least, and the floors are sealed hardwood, so it's not like it's carpet or anything, but they're older floors and not sealed well. They're original parquet floors when the house was built in the 70's, and maybe they've been refinished once, but it was long ago. We cleaned up most of it this morning with paper towels and water, but there's plenty of dryer spots that were hard to get up, and we had no time to try to really get them all. We're hoping they come off easily by scrapping with a putty knife, but I know there's areas where the finish is worn down and the paint might have soaked through, not to mention the larger gaps between the pieces where the paint got down, though at least that's not super noticeable.

About eight months ago I was priced out of the city I went to college in and luckily I rebounded in a cheaper, more rural/suburban area when I got an entry level position at what is my dream job.
But the FWP of the situation is that the entry level position doesn't pay the greatest and I'm close enough to the city that commuters are setting up shop here, bringing city rents into this area with them. So in the next few months I'm going to need to find a roommate just to survive in what is supposed to be a cheap backwater area.

Head on down to whatever hardware store you have nearby and get some paint remover wipes. If the paint has dried you can let one rest on a spot for a few minutes to soak in, then wipe it up. They work like Lysol wipes but for paint.

My brain is having a war between getting the Nintendo Switch or not.

The responsible side of me points out that I shouldn't buy it, at least at first, because the games I really want are coming out later (Mario, Sonic), and that just because I happened to stumble into a decent influx of cash doesn't mean I have to pre-order. Plus, I've always been annoyed by platformers without save states. Plus, I'm like 80% sure my generally-unused TV can't do the HD poo poo the Switch uses.

On the other hand, gently caress it, I haven't had a modern portable console in ages, I have the cash, Link seems OoTish, and unless I'm entirely mistaken, a pre-order means I'm assured to get one.

Doesn't the Switch require you to use your iPhone to do anything online? I think you need to use a phone to voice chat or to even set up any multiplayer games. There's also all the hidden costs like buying a larger SD card, the $30 charger for the controllers.

These seem like problems that will be fixed up in a bout a year with a newer bundle. The online stuff will definitely be a complete disaster this year.

Yeah, the Switch will have paid online, and also a separate paid app for your phone that you'll do voice chat and matchmaking on.

My first world problem is that I was excited for the Switch until they actually announced stuff about the Switch

Actually, we managed to get (almost) all of it off. Just scraping up all the dried paint with a putty knife worked perfectly. The only spots we couldn't get were a few larger gaps between the sections of parquet, but it's a dark brown paint, so it's not really noticeable anyway.

Thank God my GF didn't get oil-based paint like she was originally considering.

My breakfast consisted of 1/4 of a pie and black tea and now I have a massive headache. Why do I keep doing this? It was a good pie though.

I bought too much bacon (buy 1 get 1 free) thinking it would last a while but apparently it expires in less than 2 weeks so now I have to eat 2lb of bacon. I like bacon but 2lb is quite a lot.

Bacon keeps longer than the sell by. You probably have at least a month. Plus it's freaking BACON. Finding a use for two pounds of it is easy.

The sequel to the above FWP: I've decided to table the idea of buying a Switch, mostly because it'd be kinda dumb to pay 300 bux for a system that has no games I'm super interested.

I dabbled in searching for a 3ds instead, only to find that it's sold out in any store near me, and buying it online would cost me... 300 bux, plus or minus.

I think this is a sign to simply avoid the portable console market.

Fwiw most of not all pre orders for the console are totally sold out at the moment. We know there's more games coming so if you wanna play Zelda or Mario get it when you need it. The price likely won't drop for a year or two anyways so it's not like getting it sooner over later is going to put you out of more cash.
