I have a pretty bad head cold, had to take another day off work, so when I went to The Little clinic to double-check and make sure this wasn't bronchitis, the doctor said no it was just a cold and told me to buy something called Umcka. it wasn't until I got home and actually looked at the box she gave me that I realize this is homeopathic bullshit.

I spent half a minute hunting around for my headphones only to realise they were already on my head. I'm pretty sure nobody saw me but I still feel pretty silly.

My desk chair at home stopped letting me lean back. It's locked in an upright position and I can't seem to get it to let me lean back again. The knobs under the chair don't seem to help in any way. This happens every once in awhile, too.

Find the lever you use to make it go up and down and try pulling it out, as if you were trying to remove the handle

I randomly stumbled into a bit of an X-COM rabbit hole (bunch of videos concerning additions/expansions I never played, mostly). The problem is that I simultaneously remember enjoying it and being annoyed by it in equal measure. Plus, I don't own those additions/expansions and can't really afford to buy them, so I'd just be playing a game I'd ultimately be annoyed by. I think I'll be able to ride out this desire by watching youtube videos and laughing at idiots who aren't reloading to prevent bad outcomes, but I still want to play it

Are you talking about the 2014 XCOM Enemy Unknown? Because that's £5 on gog.com, and it's regularly on offer for less.

I already have the core game on Steam, so whatever price it is on another platform is immaterial. The annoyance is that even if I did buy it (anywhere), I'd still prolly not be in the mood to actually, you know, play it because of sheer  It's not like any of the x-packs got rid of having to savescum left and right to get anything done appropriately. Last time I played I had the energy to deal with that, but not today unrelated, mini FWP is that my internet is Annoying Slow (tm) right now. Completely fine for browsing and poo poo, but I'm just out of it enough that I'd like to watch some youtube videos (maybe about XCOM), but lol if it is going to buffer anything more than a minute or so.

May I suggest NOT save scumming? Yeah, losing a cadet sucks but it makes the game better if you feel the actual sting of loss. Not every attempt will have you beat the game but you learn more and more. Eventually you know exactly what to do and show those invading assholes what for.

I'm not sure if there's an emoticon on SA that's the equivalent of a dog head doing that confused quarter turn, but if there was - and there should be - what? No, just no. Not sure if this counts as content as a FWP, but I was getting something from the kitchen when I noticed a shadow near my garbage bin. "heh, if that shadow was a bug, it'd be a big loving bug." Now I have a sealed up garbage bag with a big loving bug in my garbage that better not get out. Doubly FWPy is that I feel terrible about sealing up a living thing that I'll be rapidly chucking into a cold dumpster tommorow.

I unsubscribed from all the food channels on Youtube (Bon Appetit, all the travel vlogs like Mike Chen, etc) because I think they were helping me get fat. Gained like 15 pounds since December.

I bought a house but get paralyzed with how much I need to do in the next six weeks before I move. Overall it's not that bad, I've done more in less time, but uuuhgggghhh I own a HOUSE and that's just not okay.

I recently started working from home 1-2x a week and it's been great. The place next to us is a rental and we got new neighbors. What's not so great about that, you ask? The guy that lives there has weird work hours, too, and is one of those mouth-breathers that'll fire up his Harley at random times during the day and lets it idle and revs it occasionally for I swear to God hours before he puts it back in the garage having not even taken it on a trip or anything. poo poo is super distracting when I'm trying to work from home and actually get poo poo done. More than our dogs losing it when the mailman comes but that's thankfully only five minutes tops. I almost want to ask him if he needs help with his bike since I had an old Honda that didn't need as much work as he seems to be needing to put into his bike, but that would almost certainly start a fight because dudes like that get real tetchy about their bikes.

I'm fat and that's pretty normal for 2 months if I eat fried chicken sandwiches a lot. I'm slimming down again.

I have gross knuckle pads on my right hand. I'm trying a salicylic acid treatment on them to hopefully soften them up and let them heal and regrow the skin properly. It'll take at least a few weeks for solid results and I just wish they would get better immediately.

I want to buy a slim wallet/money clip but literally everything has RFID blocking that prevents me from keeping my subway pass in my wallet so I can just keep the card in my wallet and tap it on the reader instead of having to take the card out.

I took the trash out tonight and in the fifteen seconds I was outside, my three year old locked me out of the house. My wife was at work, so I had to call my mother at 9:30 to come let me in. When we get inside, my daughter is emerging from the pantry with a bag of mini marshmallows.

I honestly wasn't sure whether to be mad or not. She's 3, so it's not like she quickly made a plan (or maybe she did, but this is the same kid who will headbutt the fridge and make sure you're looking before saying "Ow!") to obtain the marshmallows. However, I do commend her for her ability to make the best of a bad situation. I'm fairly certain her plan at that point was to eat marshmallows and watch Green Eggs and Ham.

You say that, but that sounds like she's just training to be the next Sam-I-Am (spoiler for Green Eggs and Ham believe it or not!)

My lovely cheap headset gave up the ghost, and I sent an RMA form and it was approved and all, but now I need to package the drat thing properly for a return and schlep to the post office with it, and it's all just so much EFFORT for a 25 € headset

I made a New Year's resolution to write more and joined a critique group run by the local parks and rec for feedback. The group might be disbanding because one of the members is a poorly socialized gamer who constantly interrupts people and writes Fallout fanfic and another person is a conspiracy theorist who went on a rant about how the coronavirus was invented in a UK lab in 2015 and believes Trump's misspelled and nonsense tweets are a sign he is God. I just wanted good critique dammit.

How are stores allowed to have acai bowls on the menu that doesn't contain any acai? A lot of them are just frozen fruit slushes made from strawberreis, bananas and blueberries with some granola on it.
