minor inconveniences that are not struggles

Gout is a disease of affluence comrade.

My daughter is going through potty training and had a little accident today.

She managed to leave a trail of shit behind in the entire house.

Ah yes, the classic "my kid did it". You ain't fooling anyone.

[skullstorm]

Got some new socks and the elastic is so fucking tight it's like cutting off blood to my foot and they leave an imprint in the hair on my leg.

I suddenly support Trump's tariffs on whatever shithole country these came from.

We need Cindi here to fat shame you

Had my very own Tobias Funke moment today when after busting ass all day in the Atlanta heat I took off a newer pair of jeans to discover I had smurf legs 😂

[benjipwns]

Went to McDonalds and the cac lady in the drive thru got so mad about how they couldn't put something on the side because it was premade that she told the drive thru girl "BITCH! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO IF I COME THROUGH THIS WINDOW?!?" and then sped off.

This is what I get for forsaking YUM! Brands restaurants.

[Madrun Badrun]

Actually have shit to do tomorrow but having one of those too depressed to go to sleep nights. I just know as soon as i get into bed all sorts of bullshit will start playing in my head.

I've been heavily drinking the last year because this is every night.  Not good.

Had to upgrade tensorflow on my home computer - decided to be hotstuff and not use conda, just raw pip like a manly man.  It doesn't work.  'ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.'.   However, if I first import torch and then call torch.cuda.is_avalable()., then it does work.  Literally, my tensorflow install doesn't work without pytorch wtf is this shit.

This is what happens when you drink-and-upgrade.

[Madrun Badrun]

Its got to be a paths problem but I'm wtfing right now.  Windows, cuda, and tensorflow are dumb. 

[archnemesis]

When running Tensorflow with CUDA on Linux, it requires version matching of your kernal, CUDA, and cuDNN. Make sure to follow a tutorial if you don't know the technical details.

[Rufus]

He's saying it's complicated everywhere, so follow a guide.

Just spilt boiling water over my hand.  Motherfucker this day was shit.

I turned this absolute beast of a project in and got praise for feedback. On my ride back, I remembered the Zelda thread and decided to play the boss clear theme as victory:

I have it here because it was a massive pain in the ass to get it done and came at the expense of just about everything else.

[EightBitNate]

I have a really uncommon name in America but I’m Arab and it sounds vaguely similar to Ahmad, and the amount of people who casually refer to me by Ahmad at work is astonishing. I’m not someone who cares how you say my name usually but that’s just like a completely different name dawg.

[brawndolicious]

Maybe people are assuming you have an Arabic heritage? Middle Eastern people can look really diverse and there's a lot alternative spellings for the common names.

[EightBitNate]

Maybe people are assuming you have an Arabic heritage? Middle Eastern people can look really diverse and there's a lot alternative spellings for the common names.

That’s what I assume is happening; recognizing I’m middle eastern and then seeing/hearing some of the letters in my name.

It’s like confusing a black guy named “Tyler” for “Tyrone”

[Rufus]

I know that feel, but about my last name. People love to drop two syllables for some reason. I have toyed with the idea of just changing my name accordingly, but it's too much of a hassle.

[CatsCatsCats]

I’m dealing with self isolation at the moment myself. That feel bro, I know it

[Huff]

[Crash Dummy]

got a nice new fluffy pillow, which should be a triumph, and woke up with a fucked neck =/

[Madrun Badrun]

1) My contact ripped as I was taking it out and half stayed on my eye.  Took a half hour of prodding my eye to get it out. 
2) Sat around in my underwear all day - just realized they are inside out. 
3) My life is a mess. 

[CatsCatsCats]

You need a down ass room mate to dig that out for you. And I need a new start, what do you say, chap?

[Joe Molotov]

Thanks DHL, yeah, just keep doing that. The package was supposed to be here on Friday, but if you could just transfer it two or three more times, that'd be great.

[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 

Well that reminds me, this shit never arrived lol. After being stuck in who knows where for weeks and weeks and considered lost, the seller was informed that the parcel was found and they are returning it to the seller but it would take at least five weeks even though it was already in the same country as the seller, I don't know if they ever actually got it back but at least I got a refund.

How the fuck can one package get lost for months, then apparently be found but it would still take over a month to return it to the sender, and why return it when they could just send it to me like they originally should have seeing as it wasn't completely lost after all...

Ban postal services and kill them?

[brawndolicious]

I received a box of mail from the US Postal Inspection office. Literally, a box with hundreds of envelopes dating as far back as mid 2017.

Almost all of it was bills or credit card junk mail and the like. I mean I was still getting that stuff but I guess they would grab one out of a hundred for some reason. They don't look opened so I have no idea if they even inspected anything.

Maybe I just demographically fit a certain profile.

[Joe Molotov]

Update: I got my jpop CD today. 

[VomKriege]

The German shop I used to go to no longer carry that great caraway spirit I used to love. If someone know where to get some Gilka Kummel...

[BisMarckie]

this guy,according to the item description, is shipping to the entire European Union.

You’d have to buy three bottles at once though,

[BisMarckie]

edit: see post above

[chronovore]

All these copper pots and pans are bullshit. That non stick shit works for all of about 4 things you cook and then things stick WORSE than normal pans. The only upside at that point is you can use use real scrubbing/scouring pads without scratching them up.

But the non-stick stuff dies and becomes landfill in 4-5 years. I still have the copper pots from college that my father gifted me at graduation.

25% of millennials don't have a single friend

thank god for you people

 

[Madrun Badrun]

This cycling was part of why I broke down this spring.  I worked so damn hard to feel better about my body then all that work was just undone - and that wasn't the first time it happened. 

[VomKriege]

25% of millennials don't have a single friend

I could buy it though it depends how high the bar you put for what is a "close" or "best" friends which is largely subjective. Personally I would count a handful of those at best and most of them being pretty far away geographically speaking now.

A quarter saying "no acquaintances" is really

[ToxicAdam]

That feeling when you feel shameful that you are breaking down to buy shit food out of vending machine. Only to realize that you don't have enough money for the snack you really want. So, you walk away feeling all that shame and humiliation without getting the sweet reward you craved.

Is this a mild form of S&M?

[CatsCatsCats]

Existence is pain one way or another

[OnlyRegret]

socializing, meh

for fucking fuck's sake

the past six months ive gained 22 pounds after having lost it

now im eating healthier again and tbh it feels good, ive had so many tasty and healthy meals the past few days

but still, not eating much fucking sucks

go around in circles, brehs

I don't get hungry that often, so I luck out with avoiding excess snacking

Should sit less on the internet. Even the "loser" kids used to band together, no excuse really.

Here's worse: having the exact amount of change, but they've changed the fucking price since you last visited.

[BisMarckie]

A couple of days ago I asked a stranger at a train station for 5 cents because I didn‘t have enough change to buy a Coke.

No ragrets   

[benjipwns]

One time when a machine at the office had its dollar slot busted I offered a random student a dollar for any change he had. He said no.

Like you're rolling around with more than a dollar worth of change buddy, don't give me that. I should have taken his name down and put it in his PERMANENT RECORD.

[BisMarckie]

I often carry around 15+ bucks in change. Yuropean money 

[benjipwns]

hmmm, maybe he was a Canadian interloper, we get lots of those up here by the WORLD'S LONGEST UNDEFENDED BORDER

[Madrun Badrun]

I live in a small building with six apartments - they are all on the second and third floor over a business.  My room, in particular, is right over the front stairwell.  Last night at 3 Am, someone just started pounding on the outside door and actually scared me.   This mourning I want to the back door and the inside handle was covered in blood.  I put a slip under the super's door about it.  When I got home today, he came and told me there had been a domestic and that he had reviewed the cameras, and the blood was all over the third floor (I'm on the second).  He also said that meth was involved because someone on the camera tossed a pizza box in the garbage and when he went to look at it, it had a meth pipe in it.

I need to learn Russian for my visa, but I'm just too fucking dumb. I spent like half an hour trying to just learn how to pronounce hello in Russian which I'm pretty sure I still can't pronounce properly, nvm trying to learn their zany alphabet. 

[Rufus]

The alphabet is the least of your problems. Have fun learning verb forms, English.

[Raist]

Don't forget the mirrored letters. Because reasons.

Wife is 1.5 week overdue, this baby doesn't want to come out!! Tomorrow we need to go for a check up.

Daughter started throwing up. All over the couch.

Arsenal threw the game in the last 20 min.

I went to Hawaii as a hot 20-something chick and didn't post pictures for obvious reasons.

Because you were the only person who could see her?

I'm teasing, boo. Of COURSE you could smang. Maybe not in Hawaii though, I think Canadians have a lower melting temperature, like fine chocolate.

I hate my hair.

Today two ladies at a bar commended my hair. I pulled a "oh thank you" and went about my business.

Now I'm at home realizing that I'm a complete fucking dumb ass and I want to choke myself to death after having essentially a red carpet rolled in front of me to pootie tang village.

Asaaaaaarrrrrrrggghhhh!!!

Yay for social anxiety and extreme low self esteem. I'm a fucking idiot.

A friend of mine in college, so this is in the late '80s, was once hit on by Geena Davis while catering a party she attended. She told him, "I guess I'm just into guys with hair like yours!"

And he still blew it.

I never referred to him by his given name again, just GUY WHO BLEW IT WITH GEENA DAVIS.

The usable-in-theory-only Windows PC we have is giving up the ghost. The PSU seems to have a rising/falling/wailing sound coming from it. Boot-up takes about 2 minutes, and login-to-responsive is another 5~10 minutes. "It's dead, Jim."

My wife's work bought her a new Surface, so no-one has been using this thing anyway, and for a year it's been taking up desk space and waiting for me to deal with it, whenever things get sane after coming back from my Tokyo contract.

I'd performed an execution-by-Linux on a couple people's Macs, just as a method for making certain none of their personal information remained. So I built another bootable USB drive and dropped the latest Ubuntu distro onto it. Trying to get a old Gateway to show its ~BIOS and setup screens is not intuitive. Feels like it's intentionally hidden.

So I find the boot device settings, and go through a dance trying to figure out which of the multiple USB options is the one it thinks my bootable drive is on, only it turns out that the PC can only see the drive about 1:5 times. When it finally lets me choose it, it gets 3/5 through the boot sequence and stops for an hour.

Now I'm just rolling back to Windows 10's Security Reset feature, and letting it delete everything back to "factory" settings.

I wish I was just a little more savvy on bootable drives, to the point where I could make a limited bootable and just fdisk C: and D: like a boss.
