minor inconveniences that are not struggles

Bork just also posted this in the forum’s most popular thread.

what happens when your whole life is a Bowsette drive?

YOU FUCKERS ASKED FOR THIS 

I can only conclude that he’s also homophobic in addition to his well-established transphobia.

Just wait til I find a flyer of Felipe. It looks like he has a fucking grapefruit in his jock.

Struggled with my PS VR headset to get it in focus, started worrying it was broken or had been tweaked. Realized WAY TOO SLOWLY that I was still wearing reading glasses inside the headset.

filler, show me your Emiliano so I can, uh, “struggle” to him

[Nintex]

Someone in the Netherlands stole money from my bank account so between him and Nintex I'm starting to form a nasty prejudice.

What's his name? Maybe I can go and find him. 

[HardcoreRetro]

Not sure what to spend Shost's money on.

Pretty much all my technology is failing me. I'm having to do sfc and chkdsk multiple times a week on my PC, otherwise my computer just constantly locks up every program within seconds, things that should take seconds take 10+ minutes, and I'm sure it's going to fail completely in the near future.

I had a cheap android phone that has been cracked for a long time, but the screen completely gave up, so the only thing I had as a replacement around the house was a SLIDER PHONE from 2006. It does, miraculously considering the mini sim card doesn't actually properly fit, work just for calls and texting, and had bluetooth so I can still use it for music at the gym, but anything else is no longer supported so there's nothing to connect to. It's also T9. In 2018. The way I have to transfer music is to put a mini SD chip into the broken phone, hook it to my PC, put on whatever it is I'm wanting on it, then put the chip into the 12 year old phone.

My next step was borrowing my mom's old iphone just as a general internet device, however it's a 4, which means almost no apps work for it anymore, the battery lasts less than a day even with nothing running, in airplane mode, and not connected to wifi while the screen is off, and there's a pop up for icloud literally every 5 seconds, which of course she doesn't know the password to so I can't get rid of it. Trying a factory reset also will not work so it's pretty useless.

I can't afford to update or upgrade any of these issues, so I just see it as preparing for my future off the grid lifestyle.


EDIT: In addition all the music I've recently downloaded can't be played on any of my devices without being converted first.

Can I mail you my old Nexus One or something?

[Rufus]

Sounds like your harddrive is about to fall over, Stro. 120GB SSDs are pretty cheap right now. Less than 50$. Around 30$ on Newegg.
That'll lose you a bunch of capacity, I bet, but at least you'll have a working system.

[Rufus]

Hm. Looking at the SMART data can't hurt (but it might give you anxiety).

Emiliano’s jock needs the dolares I couldn’t feed it last night. Emiliano takes Venmo. Send me Stost’s ameros.

I regularly work with an entity that's billed by artists and a ghastly number of invoices they provide don't even sum correctly because they're writing them up in Word or Excel, and in such a way that they're chronically underpaid as a result. Is the whole starving artist phenomenon a function of them being unable to count?

in this particular case, i can't get too upset because they were trying to help i guess and also because the direct tax guys are like balls-to-the-wall, hyper aggressive on the tax planning front. i'd articulate how supremely uncomfortable i am with the arrangement but fuck it my name's not on shit

A surfer from Japan lived in the commune for awhile but moved out last month. "Finally, I can start weebing out again," I thought to myself. WRONG. Our new communard is a student from Japan. :'(

Update: She has a Shiba Inu rug in her room. It might be safe to grow my chonmage back out.

Update: When I came home tonight she was unironically listening to "Running in the 90s." Why did I cut off my chonmage. Why did I even try to curtail my weeb inclinations.

[TVC15]

Overdid weight lifting two days ago that left me with an inflamed tendon in my left wrist/thumb which means I can't play Street Fighter to pass the time when home    :'(

Show us your calves.

Was at the park walking the dog and we sat down for a second on a bench.  Felt a sharp pain and saw a wasp flying away.  Fucker stung me right on my finger. 

[Madrun Badrun]

Not the finger! 

[Joe Molotov]

I got disqualified from donating plasma due to weight lifting bruises and a tiny bug bite.

That wasp is living his best life.

This work week is making me want to blow my brains out in a public and gruesome manner.

I was browsing the bore while drowsy, accidentally clicked on the Bad Vibes thread, and now I have seen sights that are not-safe-for-Arvie.

Also, I'm surprised Arvie doesn't post their regularly.

My bad vibes should not be contained in a single thread.

I ate some bad bbq or something at work. Threw up immediately after I got off the bus home. Had to sit for 10-15 min to calm down and get control of my tummy before calling a Lyft. Threw up immediately upon entering my apartment, got vomit everywhere trying to run to the bathroom. Pooped my pants a little while vomiting (you lose some butt control when throwing up) and had to do the pull-pants-down-while-throwing-up-on-myself move to avert further disaster. Have to clean myself up and go out to see drag queens in an hour because I can’t flake out on my friends on this particular night

[TVC15]

Oh god this was a bad idea. I’m going to throw up on Michelle Visage at the meet & greet

[CatsCatsCats]

Flying out to work at a different location next week because of short term staffing needs and just found out today that apparently the other guy going (from a third location) isn’t renting a car aka I’m going to be stuck driving the guy around all fucking week. Kill me

[TVC15]

That was worth throwing up on Michelle Visage’s tits for. Aquaria’s big number was a Kill Bill House of Blue Leaves-inspired dance-fight against the back-up dancers.

Yesterday I had a migraine at work in the last few hours of my shift. Immediately after pulling out of the parking lot after work I got stuck in traffic which has never been the case. While sitting there I was thinking to myself "If this traffic doesn't start moving soon, I'm going to throw up all over myself". But the traffic didn't start moving soon.

[Rufus]

Dealerships should advertise leather seat options that way.

The 8GB stick of mediocre DDR4 I bought this month last year is finally back down to what I paid then (70€). Fucking oligopolies. Still overpriced, but I'm capitulating. Don't want to wait for a miracle any more. Shouldn't have, to begin with. /shakefist

[skullstorm]

Of course I become ill over the weekend, feels great, what a way to charge my batteries for next week, thanks immune system, fuck yes 

[TVC15]

My knee swelled up really bad overnight and it’s hard to stand up or walk. I think I twisted it a bit rushing off the bus yesterday it hurts enough to keep me in bed.

[TVC15]

Stro, come massage my feet. They ache, too. I’m wearing nothing except your favorite leopard print underwear.

[Kara]

Did you say that?

[TVC15]

Someone at work told my boss that I said if she didn't keep my hours the way I like them, I'm going to blackmail her. Which upset her so much she drove to work on her day off to ask me about it.

 

Sounds like you need to find a new job

Also, this could black stew has emerged from me four times today

[Rufus]

Good on her for actually asking you about it.

Reminds me of a Thai woman that was going over some research problem and every time she said "study bias" it sounded like "Study, buy ass". The look on her face told me that she knew what she was doing though.

Is it about fucking kids?

I can’t say what it is because I don’t want Google results to show up for this thread!

I'm not going to google books about fucking children

[bork]

From my co-worker:

user: goo.gl isn't letting me create short urls
me: what error are you receiving?
user: "unable to create short url"
/ me goes to site and first thing I see "Starting March 30, 2018, we will be turning down support for goo.gl URL shortener. " test it anyways and get the same "unable to create short url" message.
me: it looks like I'm unable to create urls as well and receive the same message. By what the site says, it looks like google is discontinuing the server
user: well it works for someone else. Aren't you going to call google?
me:

[I'm a Puppy!]

On with the offshore boss/offshore team

"Puppy, you keep saying this performance is unacceptable."
"Yeah, that's right"
"It only takes 2 minutes, forty seconds."
"That's unacceptable. You ever wait that long for a report to come up?"
"2 minutes 40 seconds is completely acceptable!"
"Oh hold on on a sec, hold on a sec....I'm getting another call. DON'T HANG UP! I don't want to lose this connection. Just wait."
<sometime later>
Me: "Ok I'm back."
Offshore: "What the hell? Why did you keep us on hold? We have things to do!"
"Gents, that was exactly 2 minutes and 40 seconds. If you find it unacceptable to wait that long for me return, now you know how our users feel. FIX IT!"

I hung up.

Later I get a call from the boss, "Puppy, we need to talk about your management skills."
"is it not working?"
"Oh no, I laughed when offshore told me what happened, but come on."
"Play humiliating games, you win humiliating prizes."

[Atramental]

Yeah, as a UI/UX guy, if a webpage takes longer than 10 seconds to load I'm fucking moving on to something else.

Is this the Indian shop again?

I'm starting to have fantasies about building a compound in Alaska.

[Madrun Badrun]

I've been fantasizing about raising sheep in the Scottish Highlands for years.  One day

[Madrun Badrun]

Think you got to practice your blackmailing skills. 

For example, imagine I'm your boss and I say 'We need to get another secretary Sho.  Nancy was going to tell my wife, so I had to let her go ... to the bottom of the lake lol'.  You would say?
