Me crush ass to dust

Trying to call stores if they have something in stock is impossible. Been calling Lowes, Home Depot, Target, and others in my area and nobody ever picks up the phone. They all put you on hold with obnoxious music for 15 minutes and then it just shuts off. I have literally been trying to speak to anyone for 2 hours now.

Lets you see store inventory numbers, basically a scraper for all of those "inventory counts" on all the separate sites. Very handy.

Someone keeps dropping apocalyptic shits in the emergency department bathroom that are gassing out the entire ED. I'm not upset about it since whoever it is is clearly having a way worse day than me, but it's getting to a point where the smell is overpowering the strongest hospital-grade odor remover I got. This stuff is used for operating rooms.

whats the difference between apocalyptic shits and post apocalyptic shits?

other than, one assumes post-apocalyptic shits are taken to a backdrop of that 'big iron' tune, or feature sweet leather fetish outfits worn as daily dress

Went to an urgent care today because my knee still hurts, and couldn't find my insurance card. Couldn't even remember what insurance I have since work just switched us, so here I am in the drat waiting room crying, in part because my knee hurts like a bitch, in part because I don't have ANY info other than a debit HSA card, and because every phone number I call is a loving automated system that needs you to start with your member ID. I managed to get a hold of a coworker and she couldn't help because she has different insurance. I'd call my boss but he quit last month.

Went home and hopefully found the right card. Called the clinic back, got a base customer service line, and was told they don't take my insurance. Called again and told they do. So back to the clinic in an hour and I'm just dead.

I doubt they can do much for me but I need a dr note to get any sick time starting tomorrow. Today and yesterday were vacation days. Always looks good when you call out sick the day you're due back to work.

I ordered drunken fried rice with shrimp from a Thai place last Friday, and they gave me drunken fried noodles instead. There was enough leftover to bring to work for lunch the last two days, but it seems I ate all but one of the shrimp on Friday. I don't recall eating that many shrimp on Friday.

Subscribe to Pewdiepie.

In all seriousness, I feel like Youtube stops recommending me things when I subscribe to them. :shrug:

Also, clear your watch history and disable it.

Subscribing to Pewdiepie in a post T-Series world means you support white supremacy because chuds can't deal with brown people being more successful. They campaigned hard to keep T-Series down by boosting Pewdiepie's subs for just that reason.

Team white supremacy or Team Bollywood. It's your choice.

I think it's more about wanting independents and "edgy" Youtubers at the top of the list rather than a giant corporation. It's why that Youtube rewind thing is the most downvoted video of all time.

Yeah, it's this. Lots of YT creators are just generally dissatisfied with the site as it continues becoming more corporate overall.

At least they gave a shoutout to Simone, Queen of lovely Robots.

This isn't going to be a popular opinion but he's actually fine now. He used to be insufferable several years ago when he was just doing Let's Plays, but he actually puts out some good content now, and he's called himself out on his mistakes and lovely behavior.

If you're gonna hate on a Youtuber, I'd recommend someone like RiceGum.

Well if you say so, though my going in position is that most of those dudes are laaaaame at best and possibly evil.

I mean for those who aren't nazis (a low bar) more power to them for their hustle but I am always gonna default to rolling my eyes at lolrandom types.

He recommended watching an anti-Semitic homophobic channel like a month ago. He's still not good.

I have a general aversion to food for various reasons, so eating holidays like thanksgiving are not my idea of a good time, but food and eating are deeply social behaviors like taking someone out to dinner or grabbing drinks or whatever, so that leaves me to awkwardly keep minimal. I just do not care for food, and gluttony really icks me out. Also seeing trump have that fast food spread was pretty gross imagining how cold all it must have gotten from store to white house consumption. But the good news is, more for everyone else! just please, no means no, even if the command is EAT NOW!

actually, that won't be necessary.
In practice, I deal with a similar issue if nowhere near as maybe seriously. Whenever there’s a big holiday meal or, as you said, a rare restaurant trip, everyone’s always like “why don’t you eat more? what’s wrong? what do you want for dessert?”

Guess what! Being around that many people makes me anxious and eating is the last thing on the list of things I want to do when I’m anxious and likely nauseated. It’s not like I don’t eat anything, but no. I don’t want seconds, thirds, and six different slices of pie.

At least not until later, when you’ve all left, I’ve calmed down, and can leisurely pick at things like a scavenger bird.

Oh god, I've been trying to hunt down my wife's favorite tea for weeks and I finally found some at a nearby grocery store. We had to order from Amazon last time and the price was much higher, so I'm really happy this place actually had it in stock. She'll be good for a couple months now!

That's weird, usually you can get it cheaper if you order it in bulk online. Or is it just something that uncommon you're talking about?
