The loose screw that felled me just does not fit. All three of us tried to fit it this morning. It is not the same size. I knew it was a cheap piece of crap. I did not know it would show me my bone. Next time I'm getting a sturdy antique, or maybe a sweet rear end pro gaming chair.

...you had a compound fracture? Or does "show me my bone" not mean your bone was protruding

Brawnfire posted:...you had a compound fracture? Or does "show me my bone" not mean your bone was protruding Oh no, spiral tibia and fibula fracture. Didn't break the skin, but it was very obvious that it wasn't where my bones normally are. I'll be fine, I'm just annoyed at the making GBS threads engineering of this chair is what got me. I just have to chill out and then walk awkwardly for a while. Aging, that's my peeve. Stupid ancient bones.

The only ad I ever see on YouTube is for Tik Tok, and it's just 5 seconds of a disgusting man eating things disgustingly. I am not sure what the purpose of this ad might be, other than to warn people away from using Tik Tok.

I'm an environmental regulator and as such receive a steady stream of citizen complaints about environmental issues. The two things that annoy me the most are: A. People who are trying to sound smarter or more authoritative than they are. Don't include legal or environmental jargon that you don't understand, or cite "code" or "permits" that don't exist. B. People who escalate the tone and severity of a complaint before we even get to respond. What you submitted started with "I think my neighbor's car is leaking oil" and ended with "this is an extreme failure of leadership and a mark of shame on the city". Is that a reasonable tone to take before you've even made your first complaint?

Tiggum posted:In TV shows, when one person can see ghosts and they get caught apparently talking to no one or doing something else weird, they never do the extremely simple and obvious things that would prove the ghost was real. Like, have the ghost stand on the opposite side of the room and get the sceptic to show them a card. The ghost tells the medium which card, the medium tells the sceptic. You can do it in any location or under any conditions the sceptic likes. Proof, at least, of something supernatural even if you still have your doubts about ghosts in particular. Tales of Zestiria has a kind of fun take on that idea. The main character mostly keeps quiet about the seraphim unless he's with people he trusts because there are a lot of people who would know what it means and try to manipulate or hurt him, those he trusts that aren't in the party are aware that he's consulting with people they just can't see, and anyone else knows nothing unless told explicitly that he's the shepherd. Also from the outside his power is loving TERRIFYING, his sword is purely a ceremonial one, not even that sharp, but he swings his small toy and things just explode. They can't see the 2-5 other people fighting alongside him wielding their magics, so al they see is him walking towards them across a battlefield and all their allies just exploding. From the inside he's a JRPG protagonist, from the outside he's loving Tetsuo.

First Chrome told me one of my passwords was compromised. Then another. Then another. I finally went into the password management page and pretty much all my passwords had been compromised??? JFC Sorry, more a one-off bitch than a pet peeve. But still! e: it's not all my passwords, but it's a lot. From my local library to Netflix to the Japanese Zojirushi site, where I once bought parts for my breadmaker. It doesn't seem possible. Google has some apt auto-fills, like "how are all my passwords compromised," but zero helpful suggestions. Hirayuki has a new favorite as of 03:28 on May 4, 2022 |

Speaking as someone with a habit of talking to myself, it's really not a big deal and I'd certainly never let anyone find out that I could talk to ghosts if letting them think I talked to myself was an option. If I could. Which I can't. Of course. Heh heh.

So, she died 19 years ago and it's not exactly a raw wound but would it kill people to think before they just ask random strangers (in person or online) "have you called your mom" on Mother's Day?

I almost always use Bandcamp to buy albums because I want to support the artist but for some reason a few recent album releases aren't available there and I had to use iTunes or Amazon. I guess they switched record labels.

It's about to be the time of year when my office gets too hot to wear a whole jacket/hoodie but I also don't like feeling the sharp edge of my desk against my bare arms. I'm about to just cut the sleeves off an old shirt and hold them up on my arms with little bands like an old-timey banker.

Echoing a peeve I have already posted: My wife is russian and a flight attendant and now also pregnant. And like, hahahahahahah I get it the slavs and flight attendants are sluts great notice so funny. But nah our monogamous relationship is good and I did the deed. We video call when she's overnight away. How on earth do so many people think it's cool to objectify her or mock our relationship? I'm one crack away from hitting one of my coworkers with a wrench.

Where do people get the idea that it's okay to mock people's family members to their face!? I am baffled and you absolutely should hit one of these clowns with a wrench. That behavior is in no way acceptable.

the 1970s were just endless streams of bad one liners about wives and mother in laws and now your average boomer can't understand why there isn't canned laughter from all the people under 45 around him when he repeats them.

Yeah that, it's absolutely a stereotype that flight attendants are prostitutes, and that plus the mail-order-bride slav woman. It gets frustrating! If you haven't heard any of it good for you, but it's a thing. Please stop insulting my wife

When two videos are played side-by-side to highlight the differences. Maybe I'm unusual in this regard, but I can only look at one thing at a time. My eyes only point in a single direction. So I can't actually watch both videos simultaneously to see the difference you're trying to show me. It works fine with static images because I can look back and forth from one to the other, but a video is constantly moving so it's impossible to check if something you see in one is also in the other because it's already gone. Play one then the other. And explain what to look for first.

twenty minutes after we closed for the day i found some customers still leisurely browsing the grocery store and asked them "Can I help you find anything?" "no," they said. "what time do you close?" "8:00," i answered. "It's currently 8:20." we're not allowed to ask people to leave or urge them to bring their final purchases up or anything, so that was the entire interaction, after which they continued to shop all alone while we cleaned up around them until almost 8:45. i can't even imagine doing something like that – i feel a little guilty being in a store ten minutes before they close, and these folks felt absolutely fine about taking their time, wandering around, touching everything (we had to re-face all the shelves after they passed)... they didn't even pretend to apologize or anything... imagine living with such serene self-centered confidence...
