Get ones for them. Shouldn't be hard to run farmville on a netbook.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Fucking UPS.

Waited all day for my new monitor arrive. Of course, we're the last delivery of the day. By 7pm I'm like WTF. The package went out at 5:30 AM. Check the tracking, says it was delivered 45 minutes ago to my porch.

Bullshit.

I call the UPS store. He checks the same F***ing webpage I do to tell me what I already know, it says it was delivered. No shit.

He gives me the 1800 UPS Number. It's an automated, voice-activated system that doesn't let you talk to a rep. Fun fact, if you get loud, the interpreter can't understand you. Which just makes you madder.

Frustrated, I check all the neighbor's houses just to make sure. No package. It's also about 28 degrees outside and the wind is like knives.

I call back to the local store to start the lost/stolen process. The store is closed (because UPS always delivers my packages at the end of their fucking day, always. If you bastards would have delivered it even one hour earlier, the driver could have been called. But no.)

I call another store here in town and get a human. She says "Oh we're not actually the package facility. Call the 1-800 number."

I tell her I have and I want to speak to a person and she says, literally "I haven't tried it in a while, but I hear if you hit 0, 0, then 3 you'll get to a rep."

Nowhere is this mentioned on their call system. It's like some arcane fucking cheat code. Although I owe her thanks for being there to tell me it.

After 10 minutes on hold, I get another person who treats me like I literally haven't walked out my front door to look for the fucking thing. Then he tells me "Well, you need to contact Newegg, so they can contact us, so we can start the investigation."

Jesus fucking christ on a flaming pogo stick, can UPS be any less fucking helpful in managing their own fuckups?

I really hope someone wakes up tomorrow and does the right thing. But I have a feeling I'll be waiting for 2 to 3 weeks until I see that monitor.

Well now I have to eat some humble pie. One of my down the street neighbors just came by and dropped it off. This has been your regularly scheduled edition of 1st World Raeg.

Between a cold and taking up swimming, my voice is shot. Chlorine plus rhinovirus is not good for the human larynx.

Wait, I thought it was A before B? So that's what I've been doing wrong.

Or a cheap tablet, if they're into that kind of thing.

Edit: I see no reason that fezbook should take more than a minute or so to load. Run MalwareBytes, please, for the love of all you consider holy.

I see what you did there.

I actually thought that was fan-fiction for a second. But I'm guessing it's just a troll on the wiki. Pretty sure in-game books can't be put on the wiki yet, because of the non-disclosure agreement you have to sign if you get into the beta.

The tigers have always been a subspecies of Khajiit. Now they aren't, unless these Senche-tigers are somehow unrelated to Senche and Senche-raht Khajiit.

It's a bit of an important spelling. Marukh of the Marukhati selectives who danced on Adamantia to excise elven influence from Akatosh (thus creating Him in the process)? That's a big event. That's like if Peter Jackson kept referring to "Mogroth Baulgir" or "Saunor".

The first one just sounds to me like it's written by a speciesist author. TES is full of beast-race xenophobia, after all.
