... I Ship It was playing over the walmart intercom/music things today.

Can't say I ever expected to hear that particular song playing in a southern rural walmart.

[Sirus]

Are you positive it wasn't the original song? I think you've mentioned once or twice that your hearing wasn't the best.

Then again, I swear I head "Dumb Ways to Die" playing at a Mid-West fast food place once.

[Frumple]

Eh? Nah, hearing's fine, generally. Probably mild damage, but by mild I mean less than normal for your average american that spends too much time around TVs or loud music (i.e. most americans). Most of my sensory problems at the mo' are visual hallucination related, if you discount needing glasses.

Can't say for sure about the original, but the I Don't Care, I Ship It line was pretty clear.

On a similar subject, the local small grocery store uses elevator-music instrumental versions of popular music as their in-store audio. There are few things more disorienting than realizing the bland beepy noise you've been ignoring is one of the biggest hits of the 90s.

The college I worked for had shelter in place. Specifically, we're told to lock and barricade the doors, shut off the lights, and hide away from windows and doors until an all clear is given. It actually makes more sense though. If you're moving, you're more likely to be seen(and shot) by a gunman, or worse, mistaken as a shooter by responding police.

There is nothing wrong with internet crushes, no.  Long distance relationships have challenges but they can be emotionally fulfilling.

[BlackHeartKabal]

Ok so. Uh. Unrelated to my last post, if there was, in fact, am active shooter on a college, would said college disguise evacuation as a drill to minimize panic? Hypothetically?

No because you do not evacuate during a shooting. Standard procedure is shelter in place. And saying it's a drill when it is not is also very stupid, least of all because it would only increase panic once people figured out it's not a drill. Actually, you never say it's a drill at all, even when it is a drill.

Are you sure about that? Since my school literally just had drills for that sort of thing (A.L.I.C.E. drills, to be precise), and 2/2 times (we did it twice) we evacuated.


Also, internet crushes aren't bad, right?

I am incredibly biased, so take this with a grain of salt, but no, not at all, imo.

I married my internet crush. /not biased at all

Also, I want to laugh at American problems, but it’s really just sad.

Just take up jaded optimism, like me.

Jaded optimism? sounds like me right now.

[hector13]

Ah, grasshopper, I moved beyond jaded optimism to light misanthropy many moons ago.

Presently I’m just trying to avoid hurting myself when I facepalm.

Light-hearted cynicism over here!

Edit: new wtf, whyTF does my internet have to be so ridiculously, painfully shithouse? That's rhetorical by the way. Mostly.

"Over--- Subscription!!!"

[Frumple]

... huh. Don't think I've ran into this before. Tooling around looking for next step in storyline, I find out I had apparently left what appears to be the gender uncaring romance subplot back in the starting town, by far a majority of the game ago. She's level 7. The rest of my critters are around level 60. Whoops. _{that said, there's only so much I care 'cause that's a third female minion and now the hero's yuri harem is real}

Game's crystareino, since it's a bit of a jerk thing to not mention. Kemco mobile rpg, which is another way of saying it's a'ight, but about as generic jrpg as they come. Still, they have this habit of doing shit like that and occasionally pretty on point writing and/or neat-ish mechanics (and like to show up in humble bundle's mobile stuff), so I keep playing them.

Just pick her up as a support char for awhile. With two strong members, and a revisit of some "now super easy" areas with "Hard monsters" (For her level), she will level up like a crack addict with a little grinding.  Good excuse to farm for drops.
