minor inconveniences that are not struggles

[hungrynoob]

[Raist]

Cavemen didn't eat stacked chicken that spend 99.9% of their time shitting on each other tho.

[chronovore]

id eat raw moose.

I was served raw, wild venecin once. I felt like a fool, but I ate it. It was tasty, but I was pretty sure I’d get brain parasites.

last night I dreamt I had 4 prostitutes living with me. I made them work for me until I was able to get a really nice car, I think, and then I buried them alive in a nearby lot where there is concrete foundation being poured sometime in the next night. There was sadly no explicit sexual or violent content in the dream.

Well, gas heater shut off another week 
While searching for a leak in the building, the guy mandated to do the roof found out our gas heater wasn't connected to the chimney. Fix was due today but because it snowed for 2 days apparently the part wasn't delivered.

A friend offered me to take a shower and I'm using an electric heater to make do but boy no running hot water is not fun even though it's not the worst thing I had happen in a flat.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Where is this? Its effin cold now

[VomKriege]

Paris region. It's ok, temp expected at 0 more or less so it's not a struggle yet.

[Cerveza mas fina]

I really like the fact there is district heating here. Such a good system.

[Corporal]

Bought
1x "Smartwatch" Amazfit Bip (35€)
1x budget in-ear Bluetooth cans (Taotronics something or other, 15€)

Downloaded
1x "Crossfit Mix" playlist off Amazon prime (close enough, it has "fit" in its name)
1x Mi Fit smartphone app to configure and use above Smartwatch
4351835x alternative and related apps

Spent
Half a day setting things up and reading privacy statements, ToS and other crap and linking and creating accounts
Half a day procrastinating, err, getting used to things and hyping myself up to do better tomorrow (aka today)

So now I'm sitting here and my wrist is vibrating and telling me to get out of my chair and move my fat arse, and I'm just too puckered out from all the intense configuring, reading, downloading and buying of stuff.

It looked so good on paper. Then again, it's fucking freezing outside and I'm really not feeling the need to grab myself yet another cold and/or flu.

But hey, I've already knocked off 2000 steps off the daily recommendation of 8000 just by commuting. Fuck yeah, I feel healthier already.

TLDR: all the tech of the world can't motivate a lazy bastard to do sports. I'm a good consumer, though. Capitalism, ho! Now someone carry me over to the buffet.

I'm so pampered where I'm at because that does sound like a struggle to me.

I'm going to Siberia next week.  I'm not sure I'll survive.

[Mupepe]

oh, approval for your Russia trip actually came through?

oh yeah!  Forgot I posted about my anxiety.  It did.  It's all settled and I fly out Thursday.  This will be my first real winter excursion and I foresee me going on a clothes shopping spree when I get there and freeze my balls off

[Brehvolution]

In Russia, the clothes buy you. 

[Mupepe]

oh yeah!  Forgot I posted about my anxiety.  It did.  It's all settled and I fly out Thursday.  This will be my first real winter excursion and I foresee me going on a clothes shopping spree when I get there and freeze my balls off

When you were talking about it I thought you were going to St. Petersburg or something, not friggin' Siberia! Make sure to share pictures with us

Will do!  I land in Moscow on Friday night.  I spend Monday at our office there doing some prep work and then fly out to Siberia Monday night for the actual work until Friday.  My wife gets to spend the weekend in Moscow and then 4 days in St Petersburg though!  Lucky her

[I'm a Puppy!]

Car died. It's at the mechanics now. I'll be out several hundred buckoos brehs.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Man enjoy Russian food, its really fucking good.

[Joe Molotov]

Do some collusion while you're there, it's fun.

[hungrynoob]

if were going for the full experience, may aswell get pissed on by russian hookers.

[CatsCatsCats]

God damn server error made my piss tape joke late

[Nabbis]

Trying to lose the last few % of fat but all im doing is building muscle... Seems like my diet needs a little adjustment. 

[Rufus]

So you basically have no self-control, is what you're saying.

We're all looking forward to seeing your Russian prison tattoos when you get back!

[VomKriege]

15cm of snow is apparently all it takes to put the Paris transport grid in disarray. Brussels likewise a few years back 
I mean yeah, snow is infrequent over here, but I'm still a bit dumbfounded : it's not the Riviera either.

[Valkyrie]

So you basically have no self-control, is what you're saying.

There are a few things I can't control myself with, chocolate and certain candy is one of them. No ragrets.

[Rufus]

Indecision diet. Pretty clever.

for fuck's sake its impossible to buy a small bit of a chocolate at a supermarket

every chocolate bar is at least 100g and up, which means 550+ calories or higher

i just want something small, like half of that would be nice

only thing i can find is a ben & jerry ice cream sandwich that goes for 220 calories and its pretty decent but i'd prefer a chocolate bar

We have these at my local supermarket:



They're 18g. It's such a useless size but when I was trying to cut back on my chocolate intake I'd just buy those and nothing bigger. And now I eat chocolate very very rarely and pretty much never have a craving for it. It probably helped that I'd learned to eat dark chocolate and had got so used to it that I already felt then that milk chocolate was way too sweet. And after eating smaller portions of dark chocolate all the time less and less often I just got over it completely. Now if I eat chocolate one piece is enough, I don't even want more. Or if I do, it's whatever, I won't eat it again for weeks anyway.

And I used to be a huge chocolate addict as a teen and ate it quite a lot in my 20s, pretty much every day 

[Huff]

I’m at work. Sucks

[sinxtanx]

tiny tiny piece of front tooth got chipped off, driving me nuts

[skullstorm]

I do love me some chocolate cake and cupcakes and brownies etc tho. Luckily I'm usually too lazy to bake and too cheap/broke to buy any so I don't overdo it too much with those. Usually.

[Tasty]

There are few things more disappointing than biting into bad chocolate. I feel you breh.

[Corporal]

Today, I moved so little that I only burned 1g of fat in total. And what little moving I did, was mostly between couch, bed, and kitchen.

Diet's going well.

...It's just too fucking cold outside.

[Rufus]

It was a Sunday. That's just doing it right, i.e. jack shit.

Yeah, it snowed for the 8th time this year, this evening. We never got snow here before. Maybe twice in 15 years. So it was too cold for me to go wandering around.

[bork]

It was in the 60s for most of the weekend here. Going up into the 70s this week.

ugh i just binged on chocolate for the first time in a while

its not as tasty as i remember, i bought the wrong shit basically but i ate it all like a slob anyway

Last night, I had a dream where my doctor convinced me to go vegan for health purposes, but immediately after leaving the doctor’s office I went and absentmindedly bought and ate a sausage egg and cheese biscuit. I got depressed about it.

[Atramental]

Vegan guilt is the new Catholic guilt. 

[CatsCatsCats]

Had to deal with snow in my commute this morning

[TVC15]

I saw a pizza place that had gluten free vegan pizza. If someone PayPal’s the money for it to me, I will eat it and report back and also tell you what it does to my ass.

[Raist]

I'm not italian mind you, but I don't think you're supposed to eat a pizza via your ass.

[Corporal]

If it's gluten-free and vegan, it's not Pizza - and probably technically not even food. Which is why I think what TVC does to it (and what it does to TVC) is not restrained by your narrow non-Italian Pizza knowledge.

[team filler]

I miss waffle house 

[TVC15]

I also want a new pair of boots. Can someone PayPal me like 250 bucks for that?

[Madrun Badrun]

Buying a Titan X.  There goes 2 weeks of pay

I’ll suck your dick for even a pair of Solovairs.

My Bluetooth ear plugs have a blue LED that turns on when the batteries are charged while still connected to the charger.

My Bluetooth ear plugs are also just outside of my reach while I'm lying on my bed. Same with the charger and cord.

So: My Bluetooth ear plugs are projecting a blue splotch onto the ceiling of my bedroom. I'm not exactly bothered by it, but it exists and I'm conscious of it, mostly due to the fact that I could get out of bed for a few seconds to turn it off.

Memo to myself of tomorrow:
Choose your own adventure:
- turn My Bluetooth ear plugs to the side while they're charging every other day to mix things up
- cover My Bluetooth ear plugs with something while they're charging
- paint over the blue LED of My Bluetooth ear plugs with a black sharpie
- investigate if it's possible to add a fresnel lens or holographic filter to the blue LED for added fidelity
Do not consider:
- relocating the charger and Bluetooth ear plugs. It would be a sign of weakness.

[Raist]

It would have taken you less time and effort to reach for it instead of writing this post. Just sayin'

[Raist]

Woops, sorry breh.

Do not underestimate the allure of a soft warm bed, and conversely, the horror of leaving it, if even only for a second. This is the minor inconvenience thread, and as far as I was concerned that issue was yesterday evening's minor inconvenience that was not a struggle. Checkmate, atheists.

I do appreciate the exceedingly polite insinuation that my posts require effort, despite evidence that shitposting comes naturally to me. I'm flattered.

[Raist]

German efficiency is dead brehs.

[skullstorm]

I'm hungry as hell but I can't get anything to eat because then I'd have to leave my bed. The struggle is real.

[Corporal]

Raist, on German efficiency... We're too bogged down in bureaucracy and corruption/nepotism to give a shit. It's probably Merkels fault somehow. Or immigrants. Maybe the EU? Who knows.

Definitely not planning to blitzkrieg Belgium and taking down their half imploded nuclear plants, though. Absolutely not. Just wait until we have finished building the Berlin airport and Stuttgart main station. Unless everyone has died from NOx and other hazards in most major cities until then, we will stuff our entire army into the sole somewhat working A400m transport plane, attack from the sea by cleverly utilising our like three still somewhat working support ships that should have been on the dry dock a decade ago or so, and crash our two working Tiger combat helis and practically unmaintained Eurofighters somewhere into the Belgian countryside. I think there might even be a random drone flying around somewhere to great effect.

Today's shipping shenanigans: FedEx.

Not them, too.  They were the last one who didn't fuck up.  :'(


I work from home three days a week and was there all day.  Tracking says "nobody was home or business was closed."  Bullshit.  I even taped a signature waiver to the door.  I know no trucks came by because I have a natural truck detector in the house- the dog always goes crazy when they come.

Called their support line and bitched about it.  Literally minutes after I spoke with them and was going to take the dog out, I see the truck come by and the guy gives me this look and hands me the package, then stops and watches me walk off after I put the package inside and went for a walk. 


I dunno what it is.  Am I cursed or something or do delivery people just not like this little complex?

Change your legal name and move to a different country breh.
