  That’s the general consensus in my social circle as well. It’s not fooling anybody, but we appreciate it for what it is. Fishham with seafood flavoring.

  If they couldn’t get a login reset sent to their email, then that’s broken.

  How is that in any way relevant to the situation I am talking about, though?

  If they have to create a new email account just for you, that’s bullshit, too.

  While I would agree, that also seems irrelevant to my situation. Tell you what, seems like there are some misunderstandings, miscommunications, and/or incorrect assumptions being made here. Rather than me having to completely rewrite what I wrote previously based on guesses about where those misunderstandings may lie and which incorrect assumptions are being made, let’s just schedule a quick call.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hell⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m mostly this way, but not today.

  I had someone with an issue signing up for an account mention that they were not successful because when they tried to sign up, they got a message that they weren’t eligible because there was already an account using that email address.

  I told them if they have a Gmail account, just use the + addressing feature, otherwise, just create a Gmail account.

  Someone else responded on the first person’s account “But they don’t have Gmail, so they can’t do it.”

  Let me tell you, THIS is a situation where a call is necessary. There’s nothing I can type that will suddenly unravel the layers here and that won’t lead to more layers being laid. It will be 100000000000000% easier and less time consuming to schedule a meeting/call and talk through this than it would be to continue this discussion in text format.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon visits a guy's house⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m trying really hard not to comment something like “Welcome to one of many, many joys of living with an immature teenage child.”

  Kicking the ice under the fridge is actually one of the least aggravating of the shitty things to do in the kitchen, but so indicative of what type of person they are. Other well-known classics include leaving a microscopically small portion of milk in the carton to avoid having to rinse the thing out and place it in the recycle bin and using the last clean cup in the cabinet so that you don’t have to bring one of the dozen+ dirty cups you’ve accumulated in your room to the kitchen to be cleaned for reuse. Oh, and let’s not forget drop a spoon of peanut butter the floor and leave it for the dog to clean up even though you know she’s allergic to it so it makes her throw up and then later on causes a bunch of skin issues for her.

  No, I’m not the least bit bitter. Why do you ask?

  Duh. If they let you see how it’s done, then you’ll know how to do it yourself. And once you know how to do it yourself, you won’t need to buy one of their expensive machines every time you want to wash dishes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wanna Ride This Bussy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, things like this can result from not providing a supportive environment where queer persons and their allies feel comfortable enough to unmask and freely discuss why “bussy” probably isn’t the best terminology to use in external communications.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IT’S THE FEDS!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Worst that’s happened to me is that I was detained and questioned by the cops while they investigated my “grow operation”. I had some old school grow lights in my kitchen window for my window sill plants and a potted hibiscus outside on my deck.

  It’s sad that the cops couldn’t immediately tell the difference between hibiscus and weed nor were they aware that people can grow indoor house plants under those pink/purple fluorescent lights which for sure wouldn’t be strong enough to grow marijuana to begin with.

  It’s also funny that my neighbor at the time actually was growing weed on his front patio, and they never seemed to notice in the 5 or so years I lived next door.

  This reminds me of a site I used to visit every once in awhile back in the day. It was known for 2 things and 2 things only. Loved it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon attends a funeral⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  30 years ago, I was dating a guy whose family’s love language was mean, spiteful shouting at the top of their lungs at each other. His mom and his sister, in particular, seemed to despise me right from the start of our relationship. My boyfriend insisted that they both liked me, though, and had a special place in their heart for me. The sister and mother both made it clear that they believed I was not good enough for him but also acted like I was too good for him.

  Towards the end of our relationship, my boyfriend’s brother-in-law passed away suddenly and tragically due to a drug overdose. I was on a trip out of town when it happened, but I was able to get back home the morning of the funeral. Because I’d been out of town, I hadn’t actually gotten a chance to talk to my boyfriend’s sister or any of the family before hand.

  We get to the funeral and there’s a line of friends and family going in, each person stopping to talk to the widow. While in line my boyfriend told me that his sister was maintaining her composure well, but that she’s probably going to break down when she sees me because she didn’t think I was going to be there, and how it was going to mean so much to her that I was able to make it. Really talking it up.

  Finally we get up there to her, and I said something like “I’m so sorry, how are you holding up?”

  The sister’s whole demeanor just flipped. She immediately went into rage mode, “How the fuck do you think I’m holding up? My husband just died.” She didn’t quite yell it, but she said it loudly enough that everyone there could hear it. Awkward. To be honest, she was a hateful person in general and lashed out in pain, but come on.

  Anyway, I know it’s not fair to judge, but she did move on to a new man (her dead husband’s drug dealer) in a matter of weeks after the funeral. I mean, good for her, of course, but it does make people talk.

  I’m in the USA, so if they were made in China they’d probably cost me $30 USD by now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They encased the filter⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If they were cheap and not made in China, I would buy these. They look neat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Front is back.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  To get around back, go left. Because left is right and right is wrong so the only thing left that’s right is left.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RIP obsolete tech⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I was just thinking “I need to burn some music CDs for when I travel”, just in case.

  I went on a car trip earlier this year, but forgot my bluetooth to aux adapter. I tried to buy one while I was on the road, but places were sold out, didn’t carry them, or they only sold them via online orders.

  As luck would have it, I still had some old CDs I’d burned 20ish years ago sitting in my glove compartment! I honestly did not expect them to work because they’d likely spent at least the last decade+ in that glove compartment, enduring extremes of heat and cold. They were scratched to hell and back and I had always heard that they degrade and become unreadable after a certain amount of time, even under ideal storage conditions.

  Luckily for me, though, they mostly worked. I think there were a couple of songs on one disc that skipped a bunch, and everything else played fine. I rediscovered a few great songs from my youth that I’d not heard in so long that I’d practically forgotten about them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DOOM: The Dark Ages | Review Thread⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Looking at the game’s minimum requirements, I’m not sure I how well my available hardware will work. Granted, it’ll probably be some time before I play the game unless there’s a free demo available. I’m more of a patient gamer type and I still haven’t played through Eternal yet (and may not).

  Honestly, from the descriptions and reviews I’ve seen, Dark Ages game play style sounds like it’s a sharp turn away from Eternal, which means it might be more my thing. Granted, I’m also seeing a lot of folks saying it’s super heavy into story telling and cut scenes. Not that I have a big problem with those things, but I enjoy that they’re kind of light in earlier entries of this series.

  Can’t you just make your own shoes? All you have to do is build your own shoe factory and then hire a bunch of illegals and children to work under the table for cash. You don’t even need a website, just sell the shoes on Facebook Market Place. That’s literally all there is to it.

  They don’t have ankles. They don’t have testicles. They are missing a bunch of ribs. They don’t fart. They don’t even have a Y chromosome. At a certain point, it’s probably easier to list the things they do have.
