It’s true. That media is called “the media”.

The whole machine is designed to influence low information investments, it’s just that that doesn’t stop at stocks.

That sounds legit. Thanks for the info.

Trying to sort out of this is a xena meme or a marvel meme…

I’m sort of guessing marvel? But it looks cheesy like xena… maybe it’s neither?

Mmm I need to replace my rotted out front porch that is sagging and causing my front door to go out of square but it’s also not supposed to be part of the building at all technically…? I mean most of the additions to my house were never filed.… let’s just pretend that didn’t happen. And the rest of the omfg problem projects didn’t happen either…. The whole owning thing sucks.

Haha wasn’t anything personal, or meant to make you feel any sort of way, just an old-school problem with modern tech exacerbation.

My house is 140 years old and modern advice doesn’t apply to most of it unfortunately. Every project ends up being a dozen more projects because nothing from then applies to now.

But I’ve learned. So if I choose to lathe and plaster my next house, well I can fix it, too, damnit.

😭 I have two of those actively pulling out of my lathe and plaster walls. I don’t know how to fix it other than just take down the shelves, fully patch it, and never use that part of the wall again.

I should have gone with the plastic ones that reach out behind the thin plaster to grip on, because failure wouldn’t have destroyed the wall, but my dumb ass listened to the dude who told me the metal screw-in setbolt option was the superior option.

which at the time was a bit of a “fuck you” to folk whose phones didn’t like them one bit and presented them as individual messages in their inbox.

Ha I had problems with the multi-message thing even a few years ago, sending messages from android to iOS. I tend to send very verbose messages, and the delay between them, as well as having it come through as text, made them a jumbled mess.

For a while I was putting numbers before every sentence if I thought the message was too long to be one message.

So glad that doesn’t happen anymore, tho we solved it by swapping to signal, I’m not sure the problem itself ever resolved.

That’s a solid point. Most issues just stop being personal issues when they reach a certain magnitude.

The problem, as I see it, is all the damage that wave creates on its way through. Because it’s often a lot, like the tsunami depicted.

Fwiw, I believe in you and your ability to do the 2 hours of work!

I struggle to get shit done too, but it gets done, checkmate naurospicies! :p

Maybe that’s what it was, idk. I’m terrible with parry mechanics but it was also a few years ago.

Did it need to be the right moment, though? I remember going through that canyon temple with the guardians and just standing and waiting for the attack with my shield up, and needing to reposition to get it to hit them back… but that memory might be incorrect…

The self checkout at the grocery here makes you have a worker check and enter your coupons for you. Even though they have barcodes. And cameras galore. And they mail you dozens of coupons every week.

What’s even the point of self checkout at that point? It took longer waiting for them to come check and approve my three coupons to save $1.50 than just going through regular cashier line, and I didn’t even get to avoid talking to someone. Did that twice and won’t do it again.

If they want me to work for them, I’m gunna need an employee discount. I hate everything about self-checkout. I have yet to find an implementation of it that is better than the default cashier experience.

(This is not meant as saying you are wrong for your preference ofc, I just don’t understand how people actually like them)

I have a local burger joint at which I can still get a $2 cheeseburger. It’s plain and everything is an up charge but that’s fine. A whopper or Big Mac clone is some $4.50, so like, it’s still pretty cheap.

However, they have no seating, and it’s an old ice cream shop so just a big kitchen and a tiny indoor order/pickup window and 2 benches. And there’s always a massively long line. Takes easily an hour to get fast food there during peak, cuz nobody goes to the local depressed millennial McDonald’s (one of those sad gray ones)

Inappropriately as always ;)

Indeed, it’s never about you.

I know, I was joking in sort of a not-jokey-very-dry sort of way.

I wish there was a universal (lawl I’m unserious but being very dry about it) tag. Because that stuff doesn’t translate to text well at all.

Such a layer of emotion and presentation behind communication to get around! So difficult! And I have a degree based around doing exactly that…

On a side note, we have dry humor which implies a wet humor and… I’m curious what that is but I sort of don’t want to know…?

Well sure, there used to be a lot more horses that died annually, back when they were a primary means of transport.

They make noise, but it’s a verrry different sort of noise.

I’ve been doing these for years… they don’t work as intended for more than a year or two, and then become pretty unstable. Even the lady who created it went back to low-maintenance (as opposed to zero input) systems after a few years. Still with the dirt and all but not without water movement and stuff.

That’s probably because early Germanic languages formed the base of the early English language, even before we “added” a ton of French and other shit through (actual and) cultural conquest.

If you look through language roots, English splits from Germanic at some point close enough to make the rules logical going from English to German but probably not the other way around, idk.

2 is Jasmin from Aladdin when Jafar is the sultan and she’s a slave but idk the other one.
