Also... You'll never find me, Arvie. Hunt me to the ends of the Earth if you must but I'll always be 20 steps ahead.

Pretty sure I could over take you at 20 steps ahead. Now if you were streets ahead, that's a different story.

I would want it in writing with a lawyer present.

I won't make any promises but... if for some stupid reason I do end up winning the jackpot I'll keep you in mind. Especially if you can hook me up with the dankest of dank weeds.

I mean it's a rudimentary computer with an LED light attached, along with some sensors and speakers. Factoring in build quality and markup, $115 sounds about right to me.

It's also the highest-end model they make. The HF3500 is only $70.

Had a phone interview today for a job. I get an email 5 minutes before we're supposed to talk asking me if we can reschedule for tomorrow, as if I can say no.

This week's powerball awakened something within me that I thought was only exclusive to my grandmother. The desire to constantly gamble. I've gambled in Atlantic City a couple of times but those instances never gave me the endorphin rush I felt this week.

I... I'm almost wanting to stop spending my money on booze so I can buy lottery tickets each week.

I spend on average $20 to $25 dollars on alcohol every two weeks but now I'm wanting to divert that money to lotto tickets.

Rufus · « **Reply #1877 on:** January 14, 2016, 05:07:32 PM »

Just play a loot game instead.

Atramental · « **Reply #1878 on:** January 14, 2016, 06:53:40 PM »

But loot games can't buy you a life time supply of sloots.

edit: I must've hit my head too hard last week when I was coming out of my car. I'm turning into a Misc. poster.

chronovore · « **Reply #1879 on:** January 14, 2016, 07:00:08 PM »

Gambling is a tax on people who are bad at math.

Play a loot game. It scratches the same itch.

Or play Magic the Gathering. Opening packs is a similar loot rush, and drawing from your deck in competitive play is also akin to gambling. Hell, play for ante'd cards. That gets the blood going.

MTG is more expensive and less likely to pay out than the lottery.

$20-25 over two weeks? Wow, seek help immediately.

Steve Contra would probably scoff at the wine I drink on the reg but it gives me a nice buzz and helps me calm the fuck down.

But your beer has twice the alcohol that US beer has so it's almost like buying a full case.

During the holidays I was drunk every day of SCOTCH and Jamesons. It was a very calming 2 weeks..

Atramental · « **Reply #1893 on:** January 15, 2016, 03:14:04 PM »

I was thinking about trying absinthe around the same time but that's a "calm" I'm probably not ready for.

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #1894 on:** January 15, 2016, 03:21:40 PM »

Pretty sure its a snobby calm. Be a man, calm yourself with SCOTCH.

Have you considered a lobotomy?

Atramental · « **Reply #1896 on:** January 15, 2016, 03:24:15 PM »

That's a last resort if I can no longer get "calm" by the usual means.

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #1897 on:** January 15, 2016, 03:54:35 PM »

Have you tried massaging your length to excess excitement multiple times a day?

Atramental · « **Reply #1898 on:** January 15, 2016, 04:04:34 PM »

Consuming fluids rather than expelling fluids is my preferred method of reaching a calm state.

Now that I'm actually contributing to my 401k my paycheck was definitely lighter and I had to rebalance my entire budget for this and subsequent months. Had to do a ton of slashing in all my "fun" categories.

An older lady at work just got a Roku/Netflix for Christmas and has spent the entire year giving us daily updates/spoilers on the shows she watches. Right now she's watching Once Upon A Time so every day she tells us which fairy tale character showed up in an episode. Example:

"Hey Phoenix, I have some stuff I need you to look at before today's meeting and...oh btw did I tell you Robin Hood showed up? I can't believe it, he's not even a fairy tale!"

I intended to try out the new KFC Nashville things they got. I heard they're good ya know?

But it's just gonna be for me since i'm solo tonight. But they only offer a 3 piece tender meal? The fuck is that? I need at least 5 pieces to justify buying from a fast food joint. Expensive as shit too for the 12 piece. Fuck that shit.

One of my FB friends, another expat game dev, literally posts nothing except things to get angry about. Except his cat. He's not angry at his cat. Every other post is stuff he's incensed about. Today he was posting about weaboo expats who are operating in "expert" mode. I should probably just Block him.
