Kaubocks posted:There's two buses I can catch to take me to work in the morning. There's one at 8:26 which for some reason some times just doesn't show up at all. There's another at 8:39 which just barely gets me to work on time.  Kaubocks posted:Both buses cover the same route and both make a stop at a subway station where the bus quickly fills up. If I'm riding the 8:39, the driver of that route spends the next several minutes yelling at people to keep moving to the back of the bus to make room for more people even when we don't have any room to move. The driver of the 8:26, however, doesn't say a word and it's hilarious how bad people are at making room. The front of the bus is jam packed with people standing shoulder to shoulder with the back of the bus having so much room I could stretch my legs out. Then there's the way people run right up to the tram (or train) as soon as it arrives, then have to back off to let people out. You know people are going to be trying to get out, just wait. I've even seen people immediately get up and cluster around the doors of a train after an announcement over the PA had just said "Please do not board the train." Sit down, you idiots. You have to wait for the announcement saying we can get on. The doors won't even open yet!

I broke the screen on my phone. Now, do I potentially get 70 bucks stolen from me as I buy a replacement screen from a shady Hong-Kong Web store then risk bricking it as I fumble around with the delicate electronics, or do I just live with it?

I got a new credit card recently, and did a balance transfer from an older card. But the transfer took too long, so I had to make a payment on the card anyway. So now that the balance transfer went through, I have a -$150 balance on the old card from the payment. That in and of itself isn't a bad thing, just slightly annoying I have to use this card a little bit more before cancelling it. I went to go buy Bloodborne for my PS4 from Amazon, and got it digital because I want to play it tonight (I was traveling the past week so didn't want to pre-order a physical version that would be in a box on my porch for a few days before I got home, and had crummy internet access while I was away so couldn't order it Wednesday to get here today, either.) I go to get the digital version from Amazon, and I wanted to pay for it in full with that old card to "use up" that credit as fast as possible, but Amazon forced me to use the $25 I had in gift card credit. I don't know why their digital order checkout is so much different than their regular one, but there was no option to NOT use the gift card credit. In their normal checkout, when you choose a payment, there's a little checkbox to not use your credit, but not with digital orders. So now, to make things "even," I have to order a $25 gift card with that same credit card and add it back into my account.

I didn't receive the scholarship I expected (one that I'm currently on) for the coming academic year, and since I haven't invested much time and I'm sufficiently disappointed, I am going to drop out of this degree program and pursue a few creative and teaching gigs. I've been upset about the financial shake-up, though.

Nine times out of ten, the only Youtube advertisement I get before a video is the loving Zoom Tan one. The music gets stuck in my head all day after that and I just have to wonder...who even stops someone on the street and compliments them on their tan? Who does that? What if the person is just one of those people that's a different race aside from white and you're too dumb to figure out what? (Although sometimes I look at a person and have to wonder exactly what ethnicity they are.) It haunts me. Also, I'm black. The gently caress do I need a tan for?

I just got home from a really great convention but now my joints ache and I have other things I need to do today. I can sit down when I do most of them but that makes them slightly slower to get done. Standing is just way more convenient.

Bertrand Hustle posted:Anime Boston is coming next month and I am dreading my daily commute suddenly filling up with smelly weeaboos. I used to work on a national touring theater show and one week our show was booked in the same hotel as Anime Boston. Holy poo poo it was the worst week ever. I'm not going to even disparage the lovely costumes or even the body odor. It was the noise and the incredibly strange, inappropriate behavior that all of these kids were engaging in. Saw two of them dry humping in the elevator and calling each other Goku or some poo poo; a few of them were running down the hallway of my floor shouting some Japanese and having a plastic sword fight; a table full of them at the sandwich shop across the street asking if they can get rice or sushi (it was a loving sandwich shop, Jesus Christ); and the worst was just a loving gaggle of them "fighting" each other in the lobby while a circle of unwashed creepers forms around them. Ugh.

I really want to play Far Cry 4 again, and I knew I should have gotten it when it was on sale in the PS store for $35 but I didn't, so now it's $60 again. It's $30 on Amazon, and I just ordered it, but it won't get here till Tuesday. I want to play it nooooowwwwwww  About public transit. If I take the bus at 7:50-8:00am, it takes 20 minutes to get downtown. If I get on anywhere after 8, it takes an hour because there's 40000 cars on the road. gently caress these people. Why are they driving when they can just take the bus? And it's not a urine bus, these routes have super clean buses with no drunk hobos or other weirdos, so they have no excuse. And I have no loving clue where they park downtown because there's so few parking lots, and the ones that exist are like $50 for a 9-5. You can pay $5 to take the bus, or train, round trip. Plus the bus is faster because it pretty much has right of way because it's huge, and while they're sitting in a parking lot traffic jam, the bus is breezing by. Bus is still an hour but I'm sure it takes them at LEAST 1.5 hours to just get downtown. Stupid country and its capitalist car poo poo   E: it's really irritating that editing posts sometimes works and sometimes doesn't work on chrome for iOS. Right now I can select where I want to type with the letter selection bar because it recognizes that I'm typing words, but usually it just selects the whole text box area as if it were an image, with only a Copy option.

I should be really comfortable sitting on my nice sofa in front of a wood fire in a big living room in a big farmhouse, but one of my cats is sitting on my lap and she has a terrible case of the farts, thus ruining the idyllic rural atmosphere.

This is the third time I've tried to transfer a rather large file from my computer to my phone. Twice now it's died out (the USB cord I'm using is beat to shreds so I'm sure that's the reason for the disconnection its claiming), and I'm afraid to do anything to touch anything until it's finished. Update: Got down to ~5 minutes left and Windows suddenly thought the phone was disconnected.

I get to claim the hour... up to a point. If I go over a certain amount of hours per week the government stops paying me disability benefits, apparently, and we kinda need that for rent.   And nope, she has had no good excuses for it. First time was getting pulled over for speeding/not having a license. Okay, understandable... The next few had no information whatsoever. The latest one she, for whatever reason, admitted herself into a mental hospital and didn't feel the need to tell us because she thought she could just walk back out whenever she wanted  I'm fairly certain she's only still employed because the site supervisor desperately wants into her pants.

My PTO is about to max out so I'm going to have to cash it out. I only get 75% of my hourly rate for the cash out. I never have to take PTO because I only work 3 nights a week so I just move my schedule around to accommodate vacations.

Classic first world problem, I left my smartphone at home so I had to make do with my backup convenience phone with old-style blackberry keys. The funniest part was when I messaged people from my temp phone EVERY SINGLE ONE replied with fake/serious hysteria at the loss of my smartphone...as though they all read and contributed to this thread and I know they don't.

After 10 years of using it, Amazon is now charging me tax. Considering I buy at LEAST $1,500 of stuff a year from them, it's now close to $100 in tax per year, which pretty much cancels out any points I get with the Amazon rewards card. And you know all that tax just goes into some corrupt politician's pocket.

I had to drain the pool entirely because the pump is broken. My mom wants to fix the pump even if she never uses the pool. I just want to bulldoze dirt into the fucker. Right now it's sitting dry and the mosquitoes are waiting for her to fill it. My friend is going through a tough time in her marriage, the one I never approved of and the guy is a selfish rear end in a top hat, but I can't do anything to help her and all i can do is wait. The front yard is full of weeds AGAIN. I just pulled the entire yard two weeks ago and it's full again. My mom keeps saying she will do it, but she never does. I guess we can blame her bad knee for it, but I also blame loving FarmVille. Lastly, did my bullshit gauge finally hit because CinemaSins is no longer funny and is nothing but nitpicking whiny guys bitching that a hot actress isn't doing a lapdance or is their girlfriend or stupid poo poo about kids' movies?

I've also recently gotten tired of their stuff. He'll go on a two minute tangent about the amount of liquid in a glass changing between shots, which isn't funny or interesting. As a reprieve, I recommend looking up Movies With Mikey from the chainsawsuit channel on youtube. He goes off about why movies are good and is really funny (although there's not many videos)
