Finally decided to build a new computer because I wanted to for quite a while, but now I'm not sure there's any recent game I really want to play that warranted that decision.

I had to unfriend someone from high school I usually just ignored because I keep my feed in Most Recent mode and they just kept posting "sexy" art of the Wendy's mascot. Just to be clear the problem is that I had to see that poo poo, not that they're no longer my FB friend.

I have a free but small gym 1.5 blocks away from me but I'm always tired and frankly embarrassed with how out of shape I feel. No one is going to make fun of me and chances are I will be alone but... I can't get over this inertia.

Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:I went to talk to a guy at a dealership today, and got told "No, we don't allow offsite inspections", and just loving bailed for that exact reason. I found a nice hybrid used Altima and want to get a PPI on it, but I doubt the dealership will let me drive the car about 15 miles to my mechanic. I'm paranoid that the battery will die a few days or weeks if I do get the car. My car is a 1999 Altima with about 250k miles on her. I fear she will die one day and I'll be forced to carshop in a rush. At least I could Uber to work for a week if I needed to.

"I don't get cell service on the subway" isn't an FWP anymore if my experience in Boston/NYC/Philly/Chicago was any indication e: poo poo I remember years ago when you first started getting 2G cell reception on the MBTA, it was awesome and nowadays you get uninterrupted LTE the whole time, it's great

My phone is starting to do this thing where it locks up for a few seconds every minute or two where I'm using the screen, and it's both annoying and extremely inconsistent. Like just now I was typing out this post and it went unresponsive for a moment, but the cursor within the post editor kept flashing. Other times I'll be watching some on YouTube it'll hitch for a moment, but at the same time I never experience such hitching when I listen to music. Granted my phone is almost 4 years old by now (Galaxy S4) but it was working great until now and I don't want to have to figure which phone I want to get and which case/cover to buy and moving all my poo poo from this phone to the new one and having my phone bill go up and

It's a couple generations old so accessories are dirt cheap. As far as moving poo poo over, Google handles most of that these days. I put my sim card into a new one of these when I shattered my old one and with wi-fi it took about 2 hours of downloading and tweaking a couple things before it was indistinguishable from my old one. e: certified refurbished means it comes in a slightly less fancy box but is otherwise brand new from what I've seen

It seems like every time I go into a shop or whatever to buy something, I get stuck behind someone who gets to the counter, is told their total, and then says, "Oh, I just have to transfer some money over," and I have to stand there and wait for them to do their online banking because they're too loving stupid to keep some money on their card. Goddamn, just keep $50 on your card and you won't have to do this. Fake edit: Worst is when they actually know their total beforehand, like at a petrol station, and still can't get their poo poo together before reaching the poor schmuck behind the counter. Okay, you just got $40 in fuel and are now standing in line. You obviously know you don't have enough on your card right at this moment because you're going to say just that to the cashier in a few seconds, so perhaps there's something you could be doing while you wait?

My wife's friend gave us a ton of avocados. We made a shitload of guacamole last night. It's really good and I don't want to share it with anyone. But I do want to share it because it'll start going bad before we can eat most of it. But it's so good.

Just found it a package I've been waiting on will be here by Saturday, but it's ems which means there's an 90% chance I'll get a little card saying "come pick up your poo poo!" instead of the mailman just ringing the goddamn doorbell.

I swear to god, Netflix, if I have to reinstall your app on my fire stick one more time because you "can't connect" and spit out a random error code... Hulu doesn't do this poo poo; it just locks up between commercials.

A wonderful subgroup of those people are the ones who wait in a multi-person line at a coffee shop or fast food joint but don't look up at the menu until the person at the counter asks them what they want

I kept having a lovely anxiety dream where I'd forgotten about an assignment and it was due today and I'd barely started. I woke up from that like 5 times and had to spend a minute or two remembering it wasn't real each time.

Dreams can come true! OT: I want to go home for lunch, but the housekeeper is there, and it feels weird to fix a sandwich with the housekeeper watching me.

I'm actively getting stupider As I get older and tend to get less sleep, I sometimes hang on words that I want to say. The word is there, it's loaded in but it doesn't make it to my mouth very quickly. It's infuriating. I already have some issues with ADD so repeated diversions just throw me off track. Makes a person want to give up.

My mum gave me some fresh rosemary and thyme a couple of weeks ago but I've only needed to cook once since then and I forgot to use it. They're probably not going to last until I have time to cook again, but in the meantime at least my fridge smells really good.

Gitro posted:I appreciate the self control it would have taken to not set yourself and the college on fire. I will always remember marine biology for this. So the professor's wife was due to have the baby, so class was super tight on time and paternity leave looming. The teacher assigned each of us an area of the ocean for group presentations. So three of my friends and I picked the deep ocean, since coral reefs and the open ocean and kelp forest were taken. Ten minute presentations. So we made up nicely typed handouts, one person made a hydrothermal vent (think volcano science fair), we had a little puppet skit with toy squid and sperm whales, a nice aquarium we set up with replicas of deep sea animals (it took us a loving week to make them all out of clay, and they glowed in the loving dark!), and I made deep-water shots for everyone. Not with alcohol sadly, but blue Jello with gummy worms (aka hydrothermal worms). We rehearsed and timed it precisely to 10 minutes. We were the last to present. The other groups...well, they had simple Powerpoint shows. One brought in sea urchin sushi. Another group of two girls did a "mussel" show by having the guy in their group flex, inviting everyone in the class to feel his guns. Everyone read off notecards. We had our poo poo memorized. Our turn. The teacher was half asleep because his baby had been keeping him up all night. Everyone else kept looking at the clock because the other groups had run over, sometimes twice the allotted amount. When I passed out the Jello cups, one bitch thrust hers back to me, almost dropping it, snapping that she was a vegan and didn't EAT animal byproduct, and how gross it was I was making people take it. The teacher had promised extra credit for the best presentation. It was ours, hands down, but he never remembered to give it to us. In short, gently caress group projects. FWP: hired a dude to trim our tree. He only did maybe half of it, citing he couldn't do the rest because of its height. He never said that poo poo when he first looked it over. So my mom paid him the full amount and our tree is still towering over the house. We have a new vacation/timecard system at work and no one knows how to request vacation time. A dude at work who is pretty libertarian keeps whining that liberals are the truly hateful ones, because they hate everyone who isn't liberal. Trying to shut him up is pointless. He insists he's not talking politics at work, it's just "common sense!"
