Or maybe their ads just kinda suck?  S'possible.

[spümpkin]

Well, I don't think it's my modem, since it was fine when I first used my pc, but it just kinda got worse. I got rid of the stuff that pervaded through my three adblockers, and now I can live with just one, so I think I've pretty much gotten rid of it. But I keep adblock on in case something like that happens again.

If you have adware in your browser, it'd probably be an extension or some shit.

But I wouldn't necessarily assume that ads on the internet must be coming from adware, considering that people slather their websites with more ads than they slather their steaks with steak sauce, or fries with ketchup, or ... their everything with hot sauce.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I know that it's a stupid stereotype but shaving my legs (or at least the parts I can safely shave without someone noticing) did make me feel a little more feminine. And that makes me feel mildly sad because I'll never be female and I'm probably just kidding myself.

Why never?

Edit: And now Fiona Apple songs are playing in my head.

Never is a promise, and you can't afford to lie

He said "it's all in your head," and I said "so's everything," but he didn't get it

I dunno, I just felt like saying never because I'm in a bad mood and I feel like the chances of something happening are low.

[TheBiggerFish]

Things can happen if you act to make it so.  Note that they probably won't happen if you never act.

[Shadowlord]

Yeah.

Dang it, why can I never decide on a setting?!

I got halfway through designing a detailed, thoroughly researched setting for a hypothetical play-by-post Pathfinder game based on Viking Age Scandinavia, when suddenly, I want to write a campaign about Golden Age pirates.

Why does this always happen? It feels like I'll get nine tenths of the way through a Shakespearean Renaissance-type setting when I want to set a campaign in the fictionalized High Middle Ages. I'll get most of the way through writing a plot for a modern-day espionage story when suddenly I want a Victorian story about detectives and top hats and moustache-twirling Gilded Age corporate presidents. I don't think that I've written out an entire setting that I'm satisfied with in like two or three years.

The food here's delicious but I'm struggling to get through dessert. Also there is an obnoxious fan blasting air at me.

What type of food?

Who lost the game

Who lost the game

You did.

[Dozebôm Lolumzalìs]

You won the game!

[Ultimuh]

You won the game!

There are no winners.
There's only losers, and those not realizing that they lost.

Who lost the game

Indian curry from one of those great, budget-friendly Hare Krishna restaurants.
I managed to finish it all, don't worry- although it's technically an "all you can eat" thing. Just imagine, some mad person could actually go back for more after devouring that big plateful of rice and veg curry (two different kinds). Boggles the mind, that does. Not to even mention the dessert, which was a bowl of some kind of crumbly pudding/soft cake and custard (presumably vegan?). The whole thing was good, if a bit too far on the mild side for my liking. They try to cater to everyone with the same meal, after all, even total wimps.

Oh well, it was very cheap and very good.
