Up until very recently - I thought a-ha was a British band (they're Norwegian) - I thought Danny Boyle was from Ireland (he's from Manchester) - I thought Aretha Franklin sang the hit 1960s song "Rescue Me" (it was Fontella Bass) - I thought New Edition sang the hit 1980s song "Love Come Down" (it was Evelyn "Champagne" King) - I thought you could get in trouble for throwing car batteries into the ocean (it's perfectly legal)

I suck at resumes. I’ve certainly improved over the years. But, man, do I hate working on them. I also suck at interviews. There’s plenty of other stuff I’m still stupid about, but that’s part of being a human. The resume thing is just something that should not still be difficult at my age.

I still don’t have a primary care physician and never have and I’m drat near 43. If I don’t get blood work or X-rays or anything I’m clearly fine.

Passive Aggreeable posted:I can't parse things that I hear if there's any distortion or static associated with it, if there's radio chatter I probably didn't hear it right for the nth time. And on that note, I eggcorn lyrics pretty badly and I don't remember song lyrics very well. So you cover lyrics in egg and corn?

Someone once told me that if you adjust your TV's volume to even numbers over odd its more pleasing to the ear. Never looked it up, do it without fail.

I tend to look down on superstitious people but I conciously avoid putting my tv volume on 13. Actually that makes a lot of sense now I think of it

Up until about 3 years ago I was convinced that Lauren Holly and Laurie Holden were the same actress, so I legit thought that Andrea from The Walking Dead used to be married to Jim Carrey.

I cannot properly articulate what my skill set is beyond “ i can simplify complex topics for other dumbasses by glossing over detail i dont care about” I still think i am capable of doing my own plumbing and electrical work if need be I once interrupted a colleague who was introducing me to a new guy as “this is the guy who knows how to do everything” by saying “ no do not listen to him i am dumb as hell i know nothing” and new guy leans back in his chair with a weird expression on his face and says “ you know, in my country, that means you are very wise”. I still like the new star wars stuff post-disney I dont want to write the 12 page report about how great i am that will lead to getting a promotion if i just loving would do it I am ignoring a water leak from the shower thats a whole fuckload of work to fix but will eventually destory that corner of the house. Which i am not done paying for yet. Maybe ill caulk it more next week. Probably not. See #2 One way i know i am not dumb: i let my wife handle all the money. Shes loving excellent at keeping the books in good shape and preventing me from buying stupid poo poo we dont need.

Creature posted:I bought a PS5. i had a dream last night that I got a PS5, and the only thing I played was this dreamt-game where you ride a razor scooter (not very fast), and sneak into corporate parks and fenced off facilities to trim shrubbery. you have to avoid workers and security guards, and jump off the scooter and run like 5 times faster than you were on the scooter. But, also, same with PS4 + Disgaea, and I only played it like 3 times. I'm horrible at social cues, and if I'm in a group of 3 or more at work, and I get the information I need, I just walk away without saying anything instead of continuing to chat.

I stay up about 60-90 minutes later than I should almost every single night, despite knowing that a good night's sleep makes everything better the next day. This has been going on for 3+ decades now. Parker Lewis fucked around with this message at 06:12 on Jun 18, 2023 |

I'm brutally, insanely forgetful, to the point that I'm p-sure I have some kind of undiagnosed neurological condition (well, besides from my weird sleep one) and I have to write everything down in order to remember it. Of course this for some reason doesn't translate to other things. I can probably quote the captions on pictures from CGW magazines I read in the 90s by heart, I also have like, encyclopedic knowledge of the history of videogames, gymnastics, and James Joyce, but if you ask me to remember your birthday or some work related thing without writing it down I absolutely never will. I forget poo poo like the instant I do them all the time, more than other people do. I've literally gone upstairs to piss and been like "Did I just piss?" to myself. I forget if I've eaten earlier in the day, I forget passwords basically the instant I make them, I'm barely cognizant of what day of the week it is unless I look it up (although this may be because my hours are hosed up). Ngl I'm wondering if this is sleep apnea related. Can it make you that forgetful? Prob should get that checked out.
