Why does it seem like whenever Im shopping for shoes and see a pair I like, theyre always out of stock? I dont ask for much. Size 11. Averaging a pair every 2 odd years. Never in my life not had to settle.

Sometimes I wonder anybody functions, given the thoughts that live in your average person's head.
Yo, random news sites! When you force me to disable adblock and the first thing you do when I comply, is fill more than 50% of my screen with video ads, I'm blacklisting your domain.
Biggest pet peeve: play a game, love it, play it a bunch across a year, game gets updated and turned into a buggy mess forever, favorite game occasionally unplayable.
I'm halfway through vacation and somehow I feel guilt over not playing enough video games.
Why is it that GeForce photo mode always wants to show the overlay in screenshots? Why would I ever want to see "screenshot has been saved to gallery" in ANY screenshot?
Got a call from an abusive ex today. Instead of shutting her down, I bought in. For an hour I gave her golden chances to use her favorite tricks. And then when she took them I would mention an example of her doing the same before.
Towards the end she was scream-crying kindergarten insults at me. I kept therapist tone the whole time. So satisfying.
It took a while for me to understand what 'comfort in humility' means. But it's really true.
A bit earlier in life, I wanted always to be the best possible 'me' and know that I am. Just for me to always have that. But now I know that everything is both simpler and more meaningful when you don't pressure yourself for pride alone.
I feel like I've known for a long time, but seeing it second-hand cements it.
Trying to reason someone out of their faith is the same as trying to 'faith' someone out of their reasoning.
Just because someone lies to you about one thing doesn't mean the the person telling you the opposite is being truthful.
In spite of things like house flooding, covid-19, sister stealing 1000's from mom, various BS, I think I'm the least stressed I've been in years.
When things go back to normal, I don't know if I can live like I used to. You learn a lot when things get pulled away from you for a while. So many things I don't miss at all about my daily life and never realized.
Twitter scares me with how easy it is exploit. Bots start off just retweeting things their targets like, taking advantage of filtering to get like minds on them. Assuming they follow, it gets extra weighting. And then once drawing a crowd can basically turn 1000's of real people into misinformation aggregates.
I don't follow the conspiracies. But it seems like it'd be very easy.
Autocorrect only ever seems to cost me MORE time when I don't really have it. I go back over it changing established terms it just didn't know or hitting slang (making sentences incomprehensible) or doing weird stuff like correcting 'lets' to 'let's' as though BOTH aren't basic english. Other times it chops up words as I'm inserting letters.
Cruelly it just seems to make touch screens harder for me.
Talking politics with pops is fun. He's rank/file, team red. There would be no dems left if he had his way.
He was rambling about the bad old democrats again, so I said "I HATE those democrats! They're JUST like the republicans!"
Due to his binary thinking, he now thinks I am a democrat. Logic. I actually don't identify with any major party, because I'm not a true American. Just born and raised in America.
Well, finally killed my Moto Z4. Really liked that phone. They got me in the hole for an LG G8, too... so double tragedy.
Reviewers hate this phone. It's a solid, snappy phone. I bought it for the audio, it's actually amazing with HD6xx's. Good hi-Z on a phone! microSD for FLACs.
~3am last night I awoke to the curtain drop of a breaker trip. Turned off the bed to find my feet immersed in water. Fountain sounds in the bathroom. Go to bathroom and find toilet has flooded half of the house. The other day, the pressure switch lost tension... probably pumped air into lines, making the fill valve stick. *shrugs*
Getting my stimulus has been a PITA, man. Last year I took the stupid reloadable card to get my refund faster. And then I tossed the card. My stimulus is on that card.
To get a replacement I've been on the phone 3 times. Next is a trip to H&R to try and get a card that lets me access that money. All I can say is, it's a good thing I'm still working or I'd be boned about now.
Hurrrr last time I did my taxes I e-filed and got the stupid green dot card because it knocked a fee off.
My stimulus is going to that... they did say direct deposit as per tax info. I never keep that BS, so somewhere in a landfill, is my coronavirus money.
At least H&R sent me an e-mail.
I think COVID-19 might actually kill gamestop. Their share is down like 50c over their previous low and dropping. Currently $2.80 per share.
If they survive, I wonder if anybody will show up after the stunts they pulled...
"They have had problems with this in the past, so there has to be a solution to the problem he is having now."
or maybe...
"I had had that idea before, but have now changed my mind."
I just had a breakthrough. Repetitive memes flood comments. Everybody likes them (except me I guess.) Deleting them seems mean. But they clutter things and people overuse the same ones.
So allow people to flag them and then add a toggle to turn them off when you want. Everybody wins.
Just saw a grey, 4-point, star shaped shimmer in/out in my left periph...
Migraine inbound. ETA 15-30 minutes. At least my brain always gives me warnings?
Got my last wisdom tooth out just in time haha. It was so infected they thought I might need a surgeon... literally a chasm dividing it in half... probably hit me with the 'caine 20+ times... and then it popped out in 30 seconds lol
My hair is getting crazy enough that everybody is asking me when I'm getting a haircut. Which means I'm keeping it that much longer
Truth is, every other year I grow it long so random people I've pissed off don't recognize me for long enough to forget what I look like with it short. Then I cut it. Clean slate.
I just spent 30 odd minutes watching flat-earthers argue with *ahem* debate actual scientists.
I never thought I'd see internet arguments in real-life. Serious humanity. I wanted to think people like this weren't real.
Shoulda stuck with Skyrim today... -
