@silhelm This is so strongly true that when the chosen mug was replaced with a fancier mug and thus demoted, I mad e a clear annoucement and put the former chosen one in the general mug cabinet... and still haven't seen anyone use it. I'm not sure there is life after having been the chosen mug.
@silhelm I have one specific mug that is for me, and only me. I'm the same way with my game controllers. Guests, friends, housemates are not to use the pink controller or my mug, ever. It doesn't even go near the other mugs, it has it's own place.
@glitterbean This time, it was insurance. Doc says I need one drug, insurance says "Nah, use the cheaper one regardless of whatever medical reason you didn't write the script that way"
The situation with #Sony#PlayStation is so sad and frustrating. Yes, there are bigger problems going on than video games, but video games are an escape to take a break from those bigger problems. They could have kept on dominating if they just gave players most of what we want. I get it, some studios wil demand games get delisted, and some music can't be licensed to port an older game over. But not letting us keep what we buy, removing discs, ignoring the backlash... All greedy choices.
I'm kinda tired of "We're not giving you the medication you need" being followed by "We appologize for any inconvenience this may have caused". Fuck all the way off! Fist off, a lack of medical treatment isn't "inconvenient". An inconvenience is having my game cut off by a service outtage, or having to move my car for the street crews, or my awesome toster getting delayed in shipping. Second, "We appoogize" is not for decisions you will repeat, not for "fuck you, be sick".
My housemate's music is real soft (Thank you!), so I only hear one particular part of it. It sounds like an injet printer. Or at least, I woud hope my housemate isn't in to injet ASMR. Or OMG, what if she has an injet printer in her bedroom?! What horror is she facing that requires a document that long?! 😨 I just find this funny, not a complaint.
This is delightfully absurd. I look forward to finding out what this acomplishes, but I already feel like I've gotten my $4 worth of amusement. (What I paid for the adapter. I aready had the teleconverter for another camera)
Must be understanding that my energy levels are hit or miss. Some days I have energy, many days simply existing is exhausting. Must be understnading that things, including people, can fall off my memory. If I haven't specifically said I'm not talking to you or told you to go away, chances are I simply didn't realize time has passed and you should probably just message me to put yourself back in memory.
Race: All are welcome. Gender: I don't care (But, friendships with men have no possibility of going past friendship, and that's a hard boundary) Trans: Doesn't matter to me. Queer: You'll be in like company. Religious: Believe what you want, but don't expect me to join. No bigots. No anti-vax.
I have high patience for disabilities, including speech and communication disabiities. We'll figure out how to communicate. If it means passing a device back and fourth, so be it. If it means I'm brushing up on sign language, that's cool.
I'm really in to aternative tech, from what OS I use to what appliances I seek. I mean, look at my feed, I'm excited over a NOS toaster from the 70s and having a blast with a fucking Sony Mavica and floppy disks. I'm unlikely to be impressed by your brand new, mainstream, spyware phone. Money and status symbols don't impress me. I'm not going to find what you do for a living interesting unless it's something actually beneficial to society like artist, or researcher, etc.
Anyone in Portland Oregon want to get to know each other? I have pretty much one face to face friend, and that's a bit much to put on one person. I need to spread that out, broaden my social circle. Interests: Video games Computers (Linux) Photography
Weirdness and Autism are pluses. No right wingers. Note that I don't carry a smartphone, set your communication and availability expectations accordingly.
@meadow All I can say is that my power fantasy is the power to poof shitty people out of existance by shouting "BEGONE!" at them, and to silence noises by flipping them off.
"They're eating the cats! They're eating the dog-" "BEGONE!" *poof* *deafening sound of entire planet applauding*
