I had to explain to someone, twice, how while I'm a doctor, I'm not a medical doctor, and therefore I cannot recommend treatment or prescribe medicine. I'm still not sure if they got it or not.

So can you take a look at this thing on my arm? :v:

What field is your doctorate actually in? Maybe you could go with the angle of explaining that you're a professor or a scientist or a mathematician or something.

My problem is that my half-brother is a raging rear end in a top hat but it's illegal to punch him in his idiot face.

A load of drunk people just boarded my train. They are trying to sing uptown funk but keep getting stuck after one line and starting again

Uptown Funk is not a drunk people song. Drunk people need to sing drinking songs because those songs are designed to be sung when you're wasted.

I swear, some people regress to children when they go to a store. Oh, no, sure, go right the gently caress ahead and paw through the fresh muffins with your dirty-rear end hands. Feel free to just toss rolls and bagels on the floor because you don't want them. I don't mind at all if you dig around in my nice bread display and knock everything over because you don't like the sell-by date on the stuff we just made today.

If I wanted to clean up after a bunch of loving animals, I would've worked at a zoo.

Luckily he found out before he peed on it, or worse, had a frog land on his nuts if he sat down.

My Nexus 6P came with two USB-A to USB-C cables (one short and one around 1.5 feet) and one USB-C charger (wall plug with a type C port, and a type C cable). That last one charges unbelievably fast.

While not a big thing in America and Canada anymore, cities in Asia are FULL of them.

This is why games like Overwatch see so many cheaters in South Korea. Instead of each player buying the game, the internet cafe pays for access and when accounts are banned (Blizzard just banned like 20,000 South Korean accounts for cheating) the players generally just make new ones.

Nutritionists aren't a real profession or legally protected title. Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist. What you want is a registered dietitian.

Amazons pices have gone WAAAAYYYY up. And search results for items are mainly Chinese (no offense but listen to the next part) Chinese companies who inevitably sell the same thing on ali express for balls cheap prices. Pick has a thread about it and you can get anything you can dream of for like $1 but I'm still nervous about it being super sketchy so I haven't actually gone there. So currently I'm stuck w amazon and no way in hell im gonna pay that price right now.

I just need a real OR faux small down blanket, it shouldn't be more than $5 imo but everything on amazon is $20 or more!!

Here's the aliexpress thread by the way, has useful tips (and I really want those fake-food key chains).

https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3806076

AliExpress is great if you don't need something immediately and can wait 3 weeks for it to arrive by China Post's cheapest freight option. I got an OBD2 Bluetooth dongle for my car for 4 bucks on AliExpress.

Good place to get phones from Chinese manufacturers like Huawei or XiaoMi, although you do have to look more closely at the tech specs to make sure it'll be compatible with your provider.

AliExpress is great. Amazon is great too but definitely use both, they have their strengths.

Why do people even use USPS anymore? Me, my mom, and friends have all lost packages-- that are irretrievable because when you go to the post office, they look around for real and welp, it's not there. It's because the mail man just decides to take it, or the sorter, or something. gently caress USPS. And they are sooooooooo expensive.

Summary:
:commissar:

and when they gently caress up your change of address and try to send poo poo too early everything ends up delayed because it prints a "COA NOT ACTIVE" label and then they don't send it until the next day
