Oh hey, sounds like they're cribbing notes from the US in regards to one of the major things to do to minority communities (pave over as much as you can and split them up with highways). Even odds that has little to nothing to actually do with improving access for cars and everything to do with fucking over minorities. Gods know that was the primary motivation over here

Legit feels that way. Just saw today they surrounded one of the Hindu temples and made a main road cut through the China town. In all my time here I've seen one pedestrian crossing

They truly took paradise and built a carpark over it

I feel this in my soul, dude. Parts of Thailand I used to frequent went from beautiful overgrown temple to shopping mall.

Saw an old guy in a documentary use the trackpad on a fancy macbook, and they showed him using his pc and I was mildly annoyed at the apparent inefficiency, but then they said he was a jurist and that made me genuinly upset.

[King Zultan]

What's wrong with using the trackpad?

I also know that feel, it's never a good feeling when you see what used to be farm land and forest turned into crappy stores and shitty apartments.

[dragdeler]

I get irritated if I don't have decent input even just to make a simple google search, so given what they earn by the hour, and that their actions set the deadlines for a bunch of stuff downstream... One would hope they have at least a decent mouse. But they can afford not to those wankers. What's it to them if they work inefficiently since they get to impose their timeschedule on everybody else.

Sorry to hear that dude, I wish this was a localised madness

It wasn't my doctor that messed up. Apparently, there was a mix-up with my insurance, and the pharmacy didn't complete the order, they just held onto it and didn't bother to tell anyone. I'm not happy, my doctor's not happy, and I'm out the $45 copay for the doctor's visit that was a complete waste of time.

Spoiler: The good news (click to show/hide)

It's not necessarily UC, just proctitis which my doctor said can develop into UC, but is otherwise significantly easier to treat. The screwup with the pharmacy was fixed, so I do have the prescription, I just need to go back to the doctor in three weeks.

[scriver]

The good news are good!

[Great Order]

Try to sleep and my brain decides I actually really, *really* need to be full of energy. Not a bit either, this is like I've gone and slammed three double espressos, except my last coffee was some 16 hours ago.

Dunno what the fuck prompted that, but I just can't fucking sleep when my brain's going a mile a minute and my body's ready to run up a mountain.

[dragdeler]

I don't like the way they are dogpiling on the guy who posted that picture. I will agree that not one thing in that picture attracts me, but what the fuck is wrong with people. This is not some ungodly mixture, just kinda bland because it's like only raw ingredients separated... It's not some stupid 30 second attention grabing video with an asinine recipe, it's just very simple food. And someone seemed to be genuinly happy about this meal, why not, it doesn't look stale, maybe just the fact to have 8 different things on their plate is kind of fancy to them. Maybe they real dig deconstructing the flavors instead of mixing them. Maybe they're just particular about their food, like they don't trust a lot of cooks or super rarely cook for themselves or what have you.

You wouldn't look at someone starving who's eyes glowed up because they got an apple, and sneer and be like: a real fruitsalad is where it's at noob.

I'm probably reacting to sensitively, for all I know it might be sarcastic... But once I sent someone a picture of little cupcake with a silly clownface on it, it was supposed to be silly because it was being sold for carneval, I had gotten it for my birthday, it was like the only thing that even acknowledged that it was my birthday, and without missing a beat the person whom I sent the picture called it ugly, and I did not like that one bit. Where is your fucking cupcake??! It will look all the same in the stomach anyway. Could have called it dumb and I might have laughed, yes how futile a smiley face, but expressing disgust is just mean.

Yes this is a valid BBQ, BBQ in and of itself is a stupid "meal" anyway (oh the method by which we prepare the ingredients makes the meal now, you consider this vocabulary, you call that culture?! omg sandwich semantics incoming  ), I like to have my meal served all at once tyvm instead of micromanaging a bunch to get it piece by piece.

[Rolan7]

Yeah, what?  It's fine.  The mac and the green beans look kinda bland, but food appearance can be extremely deceiving and the beans have some fat in there (as is the style).  Seems pretty typical for local food around here.

Needs more grits, cry more ya naysayers

[Frumple]

Pretty typical for local food is definitely how it looks to me, yeah. Not... good typical, exactly (good bbq is slathered in delicious bbq sauce, damnit, if it's not a mess to eat with your fingers it's mid-tier bbq at best), but mass made for like a food sale fundraiser or something like that? Not bad, but not great, either.

Only thing that's particularly odd to my bbq sensibilities is that pepper just kinda' sitting there, and it sorta' looking like that's just mac instead of mac and cheese, but some sorts of M&C aren't super orange so it could just be a visual thing.

... though saying that nobody makes bbq like that except virginia is definitely wrong in the accuracy sense, heh. That's just bog standard workhorse bbq, I'm not even sure if there's anything in particular about it that's regional.

[Great Order]

Not a fan of Fallout 4's settlement building, so I tried out Sim Settlements 2

Great, except that it causes crashes frequently for some unknown reason.

[Magmacube_tr]

I don't like that whole "organic matter in debris" thing that made the news.

If you shot an UFO, just say so.

[Akura]

"Organic matter" can be nearly anything, though. I haven't followed the news since I've just been assuming what's been going on is some stupid meme, but whatever this debris is, it might have been naturally occurring hydrocarbons on it, nothing special.



As for my own mildly upset, I discovered several slats on one of my window blinds to be missing. I don't know when it happened, except it had to have been very recently. Possibly today. And I discovered this while trying to adjust the slats to deflect a wall of horizontal rain hitting my window. Annoyingly, they are at "privacy" height, which is also the height where a lot of my things, mousepad in particular, got wet. I would be more angry, but I looked up and found out that it's easy enough to fix, I just have to buy new slats since this window blind doesn't have spares.
