I slept for like 8 hours, and woke up at 8:45, and god my life has never been more perfect.


1amoeba1

Feeling bigly dehydrated so I mixed some liquid iv in some water and got back into bed.  Unfortunately in my dehydrated daze I neglected to bring said concoction with me and now it's on an entirely different floor of the house (like 10 seconds, including getting out from under covers, away). Untenable living conditions.

Thank fucking god my org has a pro mail merge license. That shit saved me so much time from sending 60 emails.

My Dr has a new conspiracy theory that the government won't reschedule testosterone from its controlled status because they want to control trans mens' bodies and prevent them from getting their T. I have no proof of this but it's clearly true.


rufus418

Idk, the govt taking an anti men stance would be new territory.

I worry about telling my pediatrician about my eldest daughter cause I don't know how she would react. I have long understood that doctors are people just like everyone else


AreYouNobody_Too

I hate that it has to be this way, but outside of my regular PCP who I saw this morning, I always bring someone with me. Even outside of trans related healthcare, the amount of gaslighting and shit doctors do to so many people - intentional or not - about their health is insane. Having a second person in the room completely changes the tone of the whole appt.

Today I was supposed to put on my lucky socks and drive 1.5 hours to take an FSA exam, then come home celebrate my kid's birthday and then go to six flags tomorrow. Now I'm in limbo because the exam center is closed, it's only offered today so it can't just be rescheduled easily, and I have to call the Society of Actuaries, and they're not picking up the damn phone! And depending on what they say, I might have to take it tomorrow and miss Six Flags :(

Got a bill from my endodontist for my root canal back in late February. It's cool, I was expecting it (the "you owe $0" was a shock). I've called the office 7 times now, never got a person. Finally broke down and left a voicemail. ShutUpAndTakeMyMoney.webp

So back in 2011, there was a show called *Wonderland* that was a modern re-imagining of *Alice in Wonderland* that premiered on Broadway. The show was an absolute flop, lasting only a month before closing. But the cast recording of the music from the show gained a cult following because the music is legit *so good,* what sunk the show was that the script was absolutely horrible and made no goddamn sense. Usually when a show is on Broadway and then closes, the rights to the show can be bought by local theaters and schools to put on productions, but this one never got released for that, so there were no performances of the show anywhere after it closed on Broadway. The lore is that the composer of the show was pissed off that the script was so bad and that it flopped despite how good the music was that he opposed releasing it. The school district that my husband and I live in, though, was one of 2 schools that got the rights this year to put on a "pilot production" of the show at their high school, in which the music was unchanged but the script of the show was reworked, the idea being that the show is being workshopped to be put on professionally again. And in contrast to the last time I talked about going to a show with kids performing, *holy shit these kids were so fucking good.* Like they had so many kids who could act well and the singing was completely on point the whole time. They had a sophomore girl who [sang the fuck out of this song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xc9PICpnAhI) and it was so impressive. The script to the show still made no goddamn sense, but that was absolutely not the kids' fault at all lol, they put on a great show!


rab7

>kids I saw my local high school perform *In the Heights* in January, and I was blown away by how good they were. Every individual character was amazing, and the ensemble blended so well together

leftist_of_the_dial

I will also say that Styx (DeYoung specifically) was so upset at the accusation that they were hiding satanic messages in their songs that “Kilroy Was Here” is pretty much entirely about censorship and does contain backwards messages about how the people who think their songs have backwards messages suck, and that is actually very cool


BlueHighwindz

Isn't that the album that so annoyed the rest of the band that they basically broke up for the rest of the 80s?


leftist_of_the_dial

Correct. It’s also one of their better, and more interesting, albums. It has like, two or three real clunkers, but overall it’s pretty good. And really the big problem was the tour, which forced them to do acting between songs and only play theatres where they could have their video setup.


Vissassy

I've sold some things on mercari and bought some stuff with that money, I bought something for about $50 and while I can see the order, my account balance is the same as it was before, like $67 I feel like I should question it but also shouldn't? (It's also been a couple weeks)


Zeggitt

Bank Error in Your Favor


1amoeba1

Has it shipped yet? Maybe they don't charge your balance until then? Otherwise 🤷‍♀️  free money I guess


Vissassy

Yeah I've received it and reviewed it and all that jazz and the seller reviewed me as well so I assume they got paid


1amoeba1

Sounds like it's time to buy something else before the system catches it


Vissassy

What do I absolutely not need >!Usually I buy stuff for the kids!<


1amoeba1

I would definitely try to buy cat stuff in your situation


2PacTookMyLunchMoney

All That Remains released a new song that’s actually melodic metalcore. I don’t really like the song to be honest. It’s just nice to see them unsell out.


nefarious_dareus

It makes me happy that the bands I stopped listening to over a decade ago are still out there doing their thing.


leftist_of_the_dial

I’m unsure of the politics of Styx, but I will say there’s been a few songs that definitely give me “nobody wants to work anymore” vibes. Also Tommy Shaw was in a band with Ted Nugent, which does not inherently make you a shitty person but it does make me suspicious


AChaseOfTheMondays

I was curious so I just typed in "Styx politics" and it seems the term I'd use is enlightened centrist https://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/story/entertainment/2021/08/03/tommy-shaw-styxs-crash-crown-reflects-our-nations-issues/5428123001/ https://blabbermouth.net/news/ex-styx-frontman-dennis-deyoung-politically-i-am-the-guy-who-is-sick-and-tired-of-the-extremes


leftist_of_the_dial

That’s about what I expected. They seem to alternate between “what’s wrong with this country is…” and “I sure love America!”

IllegalThoughts

ive been driving around lately using my car's assisted cruise control feature and it's so funny how dumb some drivers are. for those familiar, I usually set it to 80 mph and stick to the left lane during my commute. obviously I can only go as fast as the cars in front of me, but still people will grow impatient that my car is leaving a gap and will merge right to try to pass me I guess? Or they feel it's faster in that lane? but invariably they will fall way behind because the left lane is still way faster normally. people just hate seeing gaps and expect everybody to be tailgating. and if you're familiar with the Assisted Cruise Control, I usually leave it on option 2 when it's traffic-y and consistent so these people are just straight up dumb cuz it's kinda close and Toyota recommends option 4


Zeggitt

I always try to pass people if I can tell they have it on. Other cars get in the gap, then the CC slows down to get the gap back, then more cars come in, etc. The more people you let in front of you, the higher the likelihood that one of them will be half-braindead and scared to pass trucks or something. Plus the CC doesn't react like a normal person driving, so following it can be a pain in the ass. But a large part of my commute is bumper-to-bumper, which I don't think is the right situation for it in the first place.


IllegalThoughts

> Plus the CC doesn't react like a normal person driving, so following it can be a pain in the ass. definitely true. it slows down sometimes when i def wouldnt have but I do feel it's safer this way > Other cars get in the gap, then the CC slows down to get the gap back, then more cars come in, etc. also true but the gap with option 2 isn't *that* big so many people don't do it. if I do option 3, then yeah lots of people do it. and if that's the case i'll just merge over. but if cars are in front of me anyway, it doesn't make a different if we're all consistently going the same speed of ~72 or whatever it may be


Zeggitt

> it doesn't make a different if we're all consistently going the same speed of \~72 or whatever it may be I would cry tears of joy if everyone on my way home was going 70, lol.


IllegalThoughts

hahaha I work 6am -230 so it's generally less traffic-y I go consistent 80 on the way to work and people still drive like dumbasses

sick border update: -am thinking the naltrexone, combined with barely eating yesterday, is the culprit -nausea calmed down markedly in the early morning hours -intense nausea, stomach cramps and >!peeing out of my ass!< kept me up literally all night and I did not sleep for a single second -border has called out of work and is now going to bed at the very reasonable hour of 8am, goodnight y’all


Vissassy

Poor border get better! Sleep a lot and try to drink liquids when you can keep them down Weirdly pink lemonade saved me last time I was sick

Just hoping she’s not sick. All the kids were in class yesterday but one of the teachers got sick and left early so really hoping that we’ve avoided whatever is going around. I figure if we make it to noon and she’s good, we might be in the clear.

I was sick weekend before last and still have a cough and Lil V got sick last weekend and she's still bad... there are some bad bugs going around

when you were a kid did you grab the sports page out of the morning paper and pore over the box scores to all of the MLB games from the previous day and look at the stats leaders in both leagues like me or were you normal?


outontheborder

only reason I took out the sports section was to look at the local weather info/tiny lil weather column from a local tv met that they put on the back page other than that it was straight to the funny papers. and occasionally whatever entertainment section housed the master list of a) Milwaukee festivals/fairs/events in summer and b) Christmas programming in winter milwaukee journal-sentinel supremacy

I ate oatmeal and watched Smurfs.

ndcj12

my parents still get the Sunday paper lol


Bud_Grant

I subscribed to the local paper just for the Sunday edition because I like newspapers, and I wanted to keep a general idea of local news. But I canceled it eventually because the thing was bloated with ad garbage to the point where only like 33% of it was actual content, and of that content only 10% was local, the rest was associated press stuff which I could just get on the internet. It's a shame.


hyperbolical

Mine got a daily paper until very recently when they got cranky over a price increase. We also get a free weekly one.

1. Fight a computer to accomplish something (e.g. downgrade Windows 11 factory install to Windows 10) 2. Identify specific issue (storage drivers that were bundled with windows not working, drive isn't showing up for that reason) 3. Attempt specific fix for that issue (download new drivers from OEM website, attempt to add mid-installation) 4. It doesn't work. 5. Google, try similar methods/fixes (other/older drivers of same type) 6. See fix you don't want to use (switch RAID mode to AHCI, boot from UEFI to legacy) 7. Find YouTube video of fix from larger channel 8. Scroll to fix. 9. It's what you tried first. 10. Fuck it, try again. 11. It works now. 12. It works now?


AChaseOfTheMondays

I think machines are sentient and they're only there to fuck with you. My dad who is also my landlord lives out of town and so I tell him my swamp cooler is broken and I need it looked at. So next time he's in the area he tries it, it fucking works, so he's like see you're just doing it wrong. It stops working 30 minutes after he leaves. I try everything he told me, doesn't work, but I dont wanna sound stupid. Finally I tell him it doesn't work, he comes back and tries it. It fucking works, so it confirms again I'm doing it wrong. It stops working 30 min after he leaves. It took months of that process before he finally saw that it wasn't working

[The movie Alien is free on youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6vtScz6Fbc) Honestly, more movies should be available free like that, especially if they are that old. Say once a movie is 10-15 years old. Or at least available to rent for like $1

MushroomMan89

Oh damn, sorry Border :( How many books have you read this year so far? What's your favourite?

I’ve only read 12 so far, I’m quite behind on my yearly reading goal think my faves so far this year are penance by eliza clark and all night pharmacy by ruth madievsky


MushroomMan89

12 is still more than me! I've read like 7 so far haha (granted they mostly dummy THICC) What's your all time favourite?


outontheborder

shiiiiiit that’s a tough one well first off my comfort book is craig ferguson’s memoir, american on purpose. always five starts until the end of time I love that guy if I had to choose one favorite it would probs be east of Eden by Steinbeck, but I have a good amt of five star reads that I loved


MushroomMan89

Hell yeah. He's the guy with the thick Scottish accent who did the really engaging and heartbreaking monologue about addiction, right? Or am I thinking of someone else?


outontheborder

the very same!! that was from his stint as host of the late late show - I adored that show so much. he’s been sober since like 1992ish so yeah when all that Britney Spears stuff was going down, he was not into making jokes about it and that monologue was born
