So much of my life has been utter poo poo that the comfortable life it looks like I'm going to have from here on out is strange, unexplored territory that I have no idea how to deal with.

Get a bizzare hobby like making dresses out of used mens ties. It helps fill the time and stave off the feeling that youre wasting this unimaginable luxury.

I had a crappy day yesterday and screamed a whole lot (not at anyone, just into a pillow like a normal person) to try to let some of the tension out so today I've lost my voice. I want to buy some lipsticks that have been out of stock forever but probably can't really afford it this week but if I wait two weeks for my next pay cheque they'll probably be sold out again.

Tiggum posted:We haven't had 1 cent coins in Australia for a long time now. If your purchase comes out to $1.99 and you pay cash, yeah, you pay the extra cent. If you pay by card though it's exactly $1.99 because it's not like we forgot how maths works or abolished all numbers below 0.05. Uh huh, and on the other side you sometimes pay a cent or two more when you use a card. Some older POS machines that were updated for it miscalculate by a cent on occasion because of how they handle the thousandths digit once taxes are applied. This was not considered a relevant issue when we made the switch and most people don't care.

I read a lot on my Kindle but the app on my phone (used for making quicker purchases) sends me a half-dozen alerts a day for books I'm not remotely interested in.

I loving HATE the Apple Store. My 4 year old phone's battery obviously is now poo poo--doesn't last more than 2 hours-- but it ~passed their diagnostics~ and they won't replace it. Even talking to a manger does nothing, they just won't replace it. "It's a software issue!" The assholes say. Obviously it's Apple corporate who doesn't want to give out phones/repairs because of Profit Margins. When I used to work as a genius at Apple (2006-2010) it was all about pleasing the customer and we would actually help people and replace stuff that was obviously broken but now they won't do anything. gently caress THE APPLE STORE AND APPLE. ALL CAPS BECAUSE I HATE THEM. E: the manager said "do you miss working at Apple? I bet not" lol even she admits Apple sucks now. Thin Privilege has a new favorite as of 18:48 on May 17, 2017 |

ALL CAPS BECAUSE I HATE THEM. iphone battery replacements are super easy and if you don't feel like doing it yourself they'll probably charge you like $50 to do it at a mall kiosk or something. e: IIRC the only issue you can have is accidentally breaking the old battery or tearing its ribbon cable when removing it but if you're replacing it it doesn't really even matter. I'm pretty sure you're literally just opening the 2 screws at the bottom of the phone, sliding the back cover off, and then there's 2 more screws securing the battery cable in place. That's it.

Why would apple replace a battery that is four years old? The warranty is long gone.

They have a battery replacement program that's $79, I got it before. But that was years ago and they gave you a new phone, maybe it's different now I don't know. My friend who is an AASP said they still replace the whole phone. Either way I am mad. Also I don't know if I trust kiosks to put a battery in because I don't know if it's actually a new battery or some used one they found on eBay. Another friend does that and charges $ for it. E: I guess there's one online for $20, I don't know. No matter what though, I hate apple. E2: gently caress it I'm getting the $20 battery. I used to repair computers/phones so maybe I won't destroy it. gently caress apple. Thin Privilege has a new favorite as of 21:17 on May 17, 2017 |

His boss buys old iPhones and sells them at the same price as new ones. He also complained that the state's decision to raise the minimum wage to $13 or whatever "hurts smalls businesses like [his]" while he's wearing $10,000 watches and owns like 10+ fancy phones.

I need more shelves so I want to go to Ikea to get them. However the drive is just [whine]sooooo faaaaaaarrrrrrrr[/whine]. However my current insufficient shelf space is making my apartment be more cluttery and disorganized than it should be.

Protip: if you get those square shelving units with square shelves, they make all kinds of drawers/doors to make them even more useful:  We use one of the 4x4 shelves like in the image as our main dresser drawer thing. Black shelf with the light wood-grain doors/drawers like in the image, looks pretty snazzy!

That's what I was planning on getting. They are, in fact, drat good shelves especially for all you actually pay for them. Yeah they're real sturdy. For actual bookshelves they're not great, way too deep and not enough actual storage space, but with the doors/drawers they're perfect fits for clothing. It's doubly convenient because our bedroom has the washer/dryer in the corner, so it works to block it off and create almost a little side room.

Yeah, we use those to store like winter socks and long johns and such, we just put them behind doors to keep it looking sharp  e:  (bonus: cat!)

My dad keeps buying bananas. I only like them when they're yellow with a small bit of green at the end, and I gag once they start to get spots. So we have a new-ish bunch and the last member of the previous bunch and I'm gagging through it because I don't want to waste food and it just gets worse ughh. For an actual problem, I'm working at home online on a job that has to be done during certain hours, and AT&T had an outage on Tuesday from 11am to 9pm, so I lost more than half a day's work hours.

Stop eating unripe food. My dishwasher does a terrible job when there's some peanut butter left on some knives or some mashed potatoes left on a plate. So I have to rinse them well before putting them in the dishwasher which is really ruining my life. We're moving in a couple of weeks and I really hope the new dishwasher is etter than the current one

I don't have a dishwasher.  Maintenance workers keep shutting off water to my building for repairs or something, only without actually telling anyone in advance. This morning I found out the water was off when my neighbor down the hall started screaming at them because they busted out the power tools at 5am, right outside his door. I wish I could say poo poo like this is a rare occurrence. Unrelated, I'm still bitter that I didn't get the Soundgarden tickets I was promised for my birthday in middle school.

A good dishwasher that actually washes dishes is the best. A lovely dishwasher is just frustrating to the point that you just put cups in it and hand wash everything else. Or just everything.

My old boss gave me her daughter's who had "purchased a black one but changed her mind and got stainless so now she's giving away a near new dishwasher" and I believed it. It doesn't clean anything. Can't complain because free, of course, but we took out cupboards for it. Now it's just an awkward dish storage unit.

Finally upgrading my phone after having this S4 for nearly four years, and when I roll up to the store they asked me for a PIN # on the account which no one on my family plan knows and which my brother, who also just got a new phone, swears wasn't required when he got his. Guessed everyone's birthday, our house number, last 4 of people's SSNs, nothing Then I go home and realize that you can change the account PIN # on Verizon's site without needing to know the current one...but I don't find this until right after the store closes

I don't use our dishwasher because I have to wash the dishes before putting them in anyway. I assume industrial or very expensive dishwashers can handle pieces of food, but the ones I've interacted with in my life get clogged and wonky. just something else to break~Tiggum posted:Slightly green bananas are the best bananas.
