minor inconveniences that are not struggles

[CatsCatsCats]

Have a white claw and smoke 💨 and then run stro over like a liberal trucker

[TVC15]

I did in June! Wtf! I've only drunk once since then, when I posted in the selfies thread.

Was that this?

So I went to a gathering hosted by some friends of friends last night. I got pretty inebriated, and at a certain point I passed out on one of their couches for a bit. It turns out that I was asleep, lying face up, with a very visible erection in my slacks for nearly an hour, and everyone at the party saw it, and a couple girls took pictures with it 

Get help. Start selling me your used undies to pay for it.

[TVC15]

That was a Glen post which I didn't get a chance to veto 

Oh, Glen, eh? Something tells me this “Glen” fellow is responsible for all of your shameful drunken shenanigans.

[Kara]

That was a Glen post which I didn't get a chance to veto 

There's like a whole plotline I missed here.

[TVC15]

Show us the pictures the girls took with your very visible erection.

[TVC15]

I dunno. I wanted to do it back before it was cool. It’s kind of ruined for me now.

I wanted to go there at night with you, drop some molly, and give you the hottest blowjay ever under the lights of UFOs.

[Kara]

There's like a whole plotline I missed here.

You weren't here, but for a week in March while I was on a short hiatus, Glen used my account to unload a torrential stream of abuse on everyone in this forum. Souls were crushed and egos were obliterated beyond repair. The linked post was what he thought would be an interesting ongoing shtick but I gave it a thumbs down. I did not mention this to help him save face for an extremely tasteless post but now that people think I am back to extraordinary alcohol abuse I am throwing him under the bus

And people think I'm paranoid! This is some Willco era fuckery!

[TVC15]

There's an Area 15, if you want to do that instead

Looking at wiki, that’s an old nuclear test site? Sounds like a great place for hot blowjays.

[TVC15]

The mods should look at the IP address of the post in question and see whether it came from a shosta-y or Glen-y source.

[Kara]

tfw u realize Glen sees all ur LF-Bore PMs and knows it's all a con

[TVC15]

Stro is a total beefcake, shosta. Don’t fuck with him. I won’t even hit on him because I’m afraid of him.

[BIONIC]

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo

[jorma]

So the other day the delivery guy came with the Swedish Snus i ordered online, and she asked me for id because you have to be 18 to buy it.
And i didn't have my id ready, and it was an ordeal to find.

And now that someone mentioned it, it's funny that she thought i might be under 18 because lemme tell you, i haven't been that young in a few decades and more.

I also couldn't find the "stealth" brag thread

After sleeping no more than 5 hours during the hottest days of the week, I woke up at 5:30 (cursed peon existence), then went back to sleep and woke up ten. hours. later. 

Half my Saturday is already gone.

Pretty sure my old hernia is like reopened or someshit and I promised my wife I’d go to the doctor about it, fml

Same thing happened to me today. Barely slept because of the heat, but last night I went to bed around midnight and woke up at 1 PM.

[Madrun Badrun]

Have to give a talk tomorrow and I'm only half way through making the slides.  Could have worked on this all last week id depression wasn't an issue. 

[CatsCatsCats]

Lol wrong thread

[TEEEPO]

BARNEY'S SENT ME THE WRONG BOOTS AND NOW THE BOOTS I WANT ARE OOS 

[skullstorm]

You should sue

[TEEEPO]

NOW MY FIANCE IS MAD THAT THE BOOTS ARE OOS 

[Kara]

Fiancé? Everyone is freaking gay here!

[TEEEPO]

I WOULD'VE BEEN GAY AF WITH THESE BOOTS

[TEEEPO]

honey, everything else comes off but the mud stained boots 

[TVC15]

Fiancé? Everyone is freaking gay here!

While I’m a little sad, I hope he’s just as much of a hairy fuckbeast as TEEPO. He deserves it.

Pics? Were they pointy?

Finally had to upgrade my work machine to Windows 10 and it's been about as much of a shit show as I was expecting it to be. What a trash OS.

[ToxicAdam]

I saw a report the other day that said 1/3 of American businesses still have active Windows XP machines.

[nachobro]

Don't even ask what's in most of their server closets

[Brehvolution]

They won't upgrade until they get a government grant to do so. 

[Tasty]

Finally had to upgrade my work machine to Windows 10 and it's been about as much of a shit show as I was expecting it to be. What a trash OS.

It's so bad. Everything is ugly and horrible and makes no sense.

When even fucking Chrome OS is getting virtual desktop support you know you've fucked up. Oh they finally did add this.

But why is getting area screenshots still a separate app and not a combination hotkey like every other OS? Including some phone ones??

At least dev work isn't so bad since MS decided to say "fuck it" and shove Ubuntu into part of the OS.

[nachobro]

But why is getting area screenshots still a separate app and not a combination hotkey like every other OS?

Win+Shift+S, then paste it into whatever

[Tasty]

I haven't used Windows since 7 Skipped that whole 8/8.1 mess entirely

But yeah this shit is still ugly as sin... how did faux-glass Aero look better than this mess? Metro was great.

[nachobro]

I'm pretty sure you can just turn Metro back on. At this point I'm pretty used to the Win10 setup so it's w/e

[Tasty]

I don't mean the actual layout, I mean the easthetics. Everything is a flat gray and unaliased. Window borders are plain or clashing. There's no consistent text style throughout the OS -- even the parts that have been designed recently, some parts are transparent and some aren't, etc.

And I could write a few paragraphs on the inconsistent iconography.

It's frustrating because the consistency isn't impossible, and it seemed like they were on a good path towards getting there with W7...

Maybe with Windows-as-a-service this will all be rectified over time.

[Kara]

I saw a report the other day that said 1/3 of American businesses still have active Windows XP machines.

I'm sure a nontrivial number of these are just sketchy small businesses but for ones with specialized software I can definitely believe it. I had to keep an XP machine for awhile because of an ancient tax program.

[Joe Molotov]

Finally had to upgrade my work machine to Windows 10 and it's been about as much of a shit show as I was expecting it to be. What a trash OS.

One of our teachers needs a program that requires Win8 or higher, so I’m upgrading about 20 machines to Win10 and it’s hell.

[nachobro]

Pretty much every decent sized business I've done work for has had to keep one Win98/XP era machine for a piece of specialized software that they regret ever using but have to keep around for some sort of reason, usually legal or audit related, because the software never got updated to work on newer OSs. Almost always it's for a database or accounting software.

He's still figuring that out, himself.

[ToxicAdam]

My kid has a new soccer coach, so I walked up to introduce myself before the first practice. He looked a bit rugged, so I assumed he'd be a firm handshake guy, so I went in with a certain amount of pressure and totally crushed his hand.

I became THAT guy.

[Madrun Badrun]

Handshakes are toxic masculinity - you want to touch my hand, you getting the rubber flipper and a slight stroke with the index finger.   

[TVC15]

Tbh I'm shocked at how many dudes have weak ass limp handshakes. Especially men from a generation or two ahead of me that grew up in eras where having a weak handshake meant you were a super bitch.

Lots of people get arthritis, Chad.

[OnlyRegret]

I never thought about the level of mindgames regarding handshakes until I listened to people give lessons to others on it.
My grips is never consistent because I don't pay any attention.

[Raist]

I have a standard firm handshake and if you can't handle it you're a weak bitch and I pity your existence

[Rufus]

Same.

The real pros somehow maintain eye contact without missing your hand, too.

[Tasty]

Gotta go in medium and then if they crush you you fuck them up

Yup.

[toku]

If any borean meets stro you gotta go in for the kiss when he gives you his hand. It'll be less gay.

[Madrun Badrun]

But that is a preference period, not a preferred alternative. 

[brawndolicious]

Not a struggle yet but I may have taken too much weed chocolate on an empty stomach. Like three servings.

Update us

[brawndolicious]

Oh it's fine. Just over an hour in. I did spit up a bit 10 minutes after I learned how much I ate (it had semi-melted).

Now though it's just like a half a morphine to the body and I don't think I fell into an anxiety hole or anything. I haven't done any weed in like 4 years so I kind of forgot how it feels. I think it's equivalent of 15-20 mg CBD/THC in case you have a weed Scientific Calculator. I give permission to call me a bit of a pussy if I'm being one.

[CatsCatsCats]

lol you’re good bro

[brawndolicious]

I had a solid 6 hour anxiety attack once I woke up. Not fun. I think I should restrict myself to breathable type of marijuana.

[Great Rumbler]

I ordered a book and a set of hex keys off Amazon, but this is what I got in the mail:



Jeff Bezos, sort this out.

[CatsCatsCats]

They gave you bootstraps, pull em

[chronovore]

Ordered a replacement part for my AeroPress, paid extra for shipping to make sure it landed before I left the USA. Package arrived torn, re-taped, the part was missing.

(Bonus triumph: 10 minutes on chat with Amazon, and they refunded the part AND the shipping fees for the whole lot.)

Arrived back in Japan after two weeks of beautiful California summer weather. It's hot. And humid. The sun is not fucking around.

bork's curse is spreading

[skullstorm]

Huh, UPS guy did come. Now if I could just figure out how to get the other package from bloody Turkey 

I'm still waiting for this damn shit, according to tracking info it spent ages in Turkey for whatever reason, then finally left Turkey but instead of coming to my country it went back to the original country and then the tracking info becomes hazy, it says on the same day that it was AGAIN in Turkey but also that it has left the original country and there's been no new info since then and that was last month. So I have no idea where the hell my stuff is.

Thanks Bork
