Since we don't have a thread for "Post your moments of unerring stupidity": I spent an hour trying to figure out why my wireless mouse wasn't working after the batteries died and I swapped them out, only to realize that the culprit that the rechargables I put in were drained as well. I got them directly out of the recharging thing; I guess they were there as a distant reminder to charge the things, not a hey-these-are-available notice.

I tried to go to bed but my mind decided to think about how little I've done with my life and also relive my cat dying in my arms. Now I'm back up, trying to find something to distract myself with until I'm tired enough to just pass out.

My 3DS seems pre-built with certain child safety blocks enabled, and the process to disable them by proving I'm not a 12 year old didn't work. Not sure if it was an user error on my part (not making my signature legible enough), or if Nintendo's system is hosed up, but it basically means I'll probably have to wait until next weekend to get my issue resolved. I just want to go to other people's towns in Animal Crossing.

I'm always paranoid they'll try to find some reason to make my shifts miserable.I give the new cart a week before one of the roavers busts the frame and tries to blame night shift. Again.

I'm about to go see Valerian and I thought it'd be a good idea to go to their first showing at 11 am. But it's Saturday and I'm up at a reasonable hour. What madness is this?! Also, I bought two $60 games this week. I never pay full price for games. I don't know who I am anymore. Splatoon 2 and Fortnite for the curious

Got my first ever tats yesterday! The pain wasn't so bad, but the area around one of them is kinda red. I think I've been putting on too much of the cream poo poo. So I just washed it all again and going to let it dry and not use the cream for a few hours. And hope this poo poo isn't infected.

It's a really low level antibiotic that won't irritate like the cream can.

I am trying to get a working visa for China, so I can move there in Sept. to accept my new job. My first world problems are: They are taking an interminable time with the paperwork, leaving me on this end frustrated. and they wanted a digital scan of my degree, but the scanner I have at home is only big enough for A4, so I had to go into Officeworks early this morning to scan it and get it emailed to them early enough for them to use. Oh, another first world problem is that the only direct flights from my home city to Shanghai arrive either really early in the morning, or late at night. So that when I arrive, I will have to wait 4+ hours in the airport before I can take a bus to the town I will be living in. BrigadierSensible has a new favorite as of 01:07 on Jul 25, 2017 |

Shanghai Pudong is dope as gently caress though, you can easily spend that whole time admiring the architecture, etc. Also depending on if you have certain credit cards, you may be able to get into one of the executive lounges, in which case, enjoy 4 hours of free food/booze and likely a clean place to shower after that flight.

One of my friends, who moved to Canada to be with her boyfriend, now husband, is utterly furious because after their relationship has gone back and forth from them living in his parents' basement, them getting an apartment, losing it, moving back, him going through many jobs, coming out as trans, her coming out as asexual, finally back to their own place, now in the process of buying a house, and him finally in a job he's kept for more than 6 months....he doesn't want to have a baby and thinks it'd be a burden. She refuses to think that maybe, maybe it's a better idea not to have a baby with a manchild who wants to play video games rather than do adult poo poo, or who quits his job because he's tired of it. This is HER dream. She's made all the sacrifice and is going on fertility drugs next month and he's....not wanting her to have her dream. But she insists they are on a hard timeline because she is mid 30s and he is mid 30s and any older and it'll be impossible to keep up with a kid in their 40s. So they have to do this NOW or it's never gonna happen. Of course she's bitter that it's taken them years to get a real place because he refused to keep a job. Now they have a house ready and she's gunning for a baby and he flat out refuses. edit: I tried to get her mind of it, and instead she is naming off every loving baby name she can think of. And to be honest, part of me is sad because if they do have a kid, I don't see the marriage lasting much longer.

Nope. They want two managers or supervisors. I have one willing to do it if I keep it hush-hush but all the others that actually know me said the same thing.

Finishing one task with just enough time before you need to start the next thing that you feel like you should find something to do, but not enough time to actually do anything useful.

If asexual means an absence of interest in sexual activity, is she wanting to adopt, or has she changed her mind on being asexual?

Golli posted:If asexual means an absence of interest in sexual activity, is she wanting to adopt, or has she changed her mind on being asexual? Based on the description, asexual may just mean she doesn't want to have sex with her partner but is too committed to look outside the relationship. It's sad all around and if "hey I'm trans gender" or "hey I'm asexual" aren't extremely good reasons to be able to amicably end a relationship, I don't know what is. But no, let's hang on for the child--oh, never mind.

I loving hate when a website pops up a "Hey, why not subscribe to us?" message before I've had a chance to read the article. I'm more likely to subscribe to a website that asks me that after I've read a good article. How is this a thing? Who are the people this works on?
