I burned my mouth with hot tea this morning. Eating lunch was uncomfortable. I wanted to go take a walk in a nearby park but it's too cold today. I'll have to wait for tomorrow or Friday.

Netflix has too many shows and not enough movies, and they cancel shows so frequently that now I won't even touch a new show unless it's got at least two seasons because I don't want to get invested in something that will just disappear before the next season. Also, they're gradually training everyone to think ten episodes is a season.

It’s better than stretching plots out over too many episodes and running out of ideas and having crappy filler episodes. But then I grew up on British TV where shorter seasons were the norm and ad breaks were minimal or non existent so you had more actual show in your show.

Ignore them and play good games like Celeste The Pixel 3a is going to be $100 off this Sunday but I think I need to save more cash for the holidays. I don't really need a new phone but I want a good camera this time unlike the cheapo motorolas I've been buying the past 5 years.

Saw a shirt I really liked but it was from the men's section and the smallest size was still too big for me because I'm 5'1". I mean, I still bought it, but still. Men's clothes appeal to me more than women's clothes, make them for short people dammit

I’ve had a cough since before Halloween and went to the doctor for it yesterday. I got prescribed an inhaler and got it sent to a CVS near home. The drive from the doctor to CVS took me about 20 minutes, but I still had to wait a few. Then as my payment was processing their system went down. A few minutes later it was still down with no ETA on a fix, and I went home. My quickest route to work involves getting on a highway and then having about 1 mile to get to the far left lane and take the exit there and I hate it. Every commercial truck when I’m trying to change lanes or get somewhere on time. Lane changing in general. Getting constantly asked to do the annoying thing at work because I’m the guy who has always done it. My inability to get just an interview for an entry-level computer touching job, even at the community college where I got my IT degree, that I learned about because they advertised it specifically to people like me at the job fair they held

I loving hate when a schedule goes off. Usually my mom is off to work before me, but this week she took extra days off. Which means she stayed up an extra three hours worth of Gray's Anatomy last night. Which threw off my night because I am used to having time alone after 7pm. Follow into the morning where she is puttering around the house, and since she is getting sick, the usually quiet morning is broken with coughs, lots of sneezing, and wanting to talk throughout the entire mess. My friend's fish tank had a dieoff last night (well, he found the bodies last night), which is never a good thing, but I loving hate when people blame it on something other than bad luck. The fish in question hide a LOT, but that doesn't stop people from critically inspecting his tank photos and saying if he didn't have so many plants or paid attention to the tank or did this or that or....it was a poo poo thing, it happens! We have a kitten rescue with a heart issue. A bad one, the vet gives her maybe 2 months to live without surgery. Another rescue stepped up and said they would fund the entire surgery...until they found out it's congenital, and withdrew the money after the surgery was scheduled. I don't see why that is a goddamn issue since she is never going to breed (the heart issue means she cant get spayed) so we are looking at a few months possibly.

I'm gonna go see Knives Out today after work. Buuuut it's just long enough after that I could go home first but only for a little bit and the theater is on the way from my office to home. Aside from a dying mall, there isn't anything to do in that area. No one has suffered like me!

My YouTube recommendations are so weird because I use it for many purposes. I am too lazy to clear the cache. So if I want to play a video for kids, the "up next" thing is inevitably some depressing documentary about violence or simpsons jokes that the kids won't get.

i caught some weird algorithm shenanigans the other day, I was watching a video demonstrating a type of gear reduction. It was a CG animation of a spindle, and gears, etc. The background was like a bright cyan, the gears were yellow, and the shaft was green. Just glaring saturated colours. And recommended the videos along the side were ALL kids things, like that Ryans Toy Review channel, and peppa pig official channel videos. Things I have never watched in my life. The video I was watching was clearly labelled as a gear reduction demo in the technology section. The interesting thing was the similarity in the colour palette of the gear video I was watching and the toy commercial/pegga pig thumbnails. They were a dead match, tons of bright cyan, yellows, and greens. It was like youtube saw primary colours in a video and decided i was a 3 year old. This was based on ZERO descriptors or manual categorisation or content within the video whatsoever, just recommendations based on the general colours in a video. And the child reccomendations were ALL the way down, even if I scrolled it wouldnt pick poo poo from my actual viewing habits and show me AvE or like the 8 bit guy or whatever, it was just completely switched over to a childrens recommendation engine and of course now that I'm looking for it I cant find the original gear video bring back old gbs has a new favorite as of 19:42 on Dec 1, 2019 |

As soon as I opened a different one my recommendations went back to normal and nothing from that cursed list has ever popped up anywhere else EDIT: holy poo poo found it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InJd3leQOUY wasnt as brightly coloured as I remembered but the videos are still all fucky, heres what I see for this one video VS what a normal list of poo poo that gets served up   I think we all know youtube does this sort of poo poo, I've just never seen it do it so blatantly across interest categories like that. Makes me wonder if you could purposefully game this type of poo poo by uploading videos with random specific colour blotches to test where it auto associates

I deposited a bunch of coins at the bank this morning. I miscounted the quarters so I was $1 short of a $10 roll, and the bank won't accept loose change, so I had to piece together $1 and wait in line an extra time to ask the teller to change it into four quarters.

I had an open box of "Bottle Caps" for over a month and they still tasted okay. Probably wouldn't work with chocolate or nuts though. I wasn't even the original purchaser of the Bottle Caps. My cousin bought the box and got tired of them so it could have been a month old already.

I can’t wear my Fitbit for longer than a few days before it hurts. I’ve tried wearing it on different wrists, loosening it, tightening it, different bands, and now I think I can literally only wear it when I exercise and have to remove it immediately afterwards. It’s not a huge loss because I don’t exercise that much and I only really use it during the spring fitness thing at work but i liked tracking how much I run around at work (a lot sometimes!) and how far I walk on my commute and it was fun 🙁

I just want to order some bad-for-me fast food for delivery, but the restaurants that partner with doordash have near-comprehensively enacted a no-special-rules thing. I just want to have them make my burger plain, I ain't asking for much Connected to this, it's now wintertime, so it's cold and I can't just walk over to where I want without freezing bits of me off that I don't want frozen off.

Fitbit still does. It's called the Inspire and they sell a $20 accessory clip. But I'd hold off because Google just bought them and I have a feeling their product lines are about to get gutted.

My GF is pissed off at me because I just wanted to chill at home at least for Sunday instead of being out at hers all weekend pretty much. Is it really so hard to understand that I want to get high, listen to the rain in bed, and play games and that it’s not actually supposed to be offensive?  Sometimes I feel like this relationship stuff is like another job. I get scheduled for shifts and have to commute out there.
