That is a good image, but could maybe do with less empty white space.

School filters tend to be set to err on the sharp side of discrimination. No automated filter works well, it's mostly a matter of deciding what sort of stupidity you want to deal with.

I don't understand how people can spend so much time in a phone call. I get uncomfortable even if I'm just going through some automated customer service thing, let alone talking to a real human being on the phone. I get so anxious and start pacing uncontrollably and can't think of what I'm trying to say or accomplish. How do people do it?

[Aklyon]

Is this a phone call with friend, or a phone call with (other people)?

You know, I've always discounted my Mom's paranoia about the police as her neurotic dysfunction, but just yesterday she shows me a gps tracking device that was apparently planted on her car. She's always been telling me that the police have been tailing her ever since her crash into a deer that knocked a cooler of alcohol all over the van, and I honestly didn't believe her, but now she shows me this and I'm like "What the actual fuck?".

Should I do something about this information?

What reason would they even have for putting a gps tracker on her car? What do they think she's doing? They have to have some kind of probable cause (to get a warrant) to do that, don't they?

Of course, anyone can buy a gps tracker, iirc.

Oh my god it's adorable and I love it.

I can point out several people at work that need either an immediate and total attitude adjustment or to find work elsewhere. One is a guy who just constantly acts like he's in a frat club, constantly horsing around, disrupting other people's work in the process. He was reported by another coworker and immediately pulled into the manager's office for a talk, and immediately after coming he was whining like he was the victim there. The other is a girl who think's she's still in high school or something, constantly talking shit about other people, paying zero attention to her job(which, unlike most people for some reason, is solely pricing product) then whining when I send back the inevitable mistakes. More and more she's been making some rather sexist comments, and that's something I have zero tolerance for.

This is starting to get to the point where I'm going to tell the management that it's either them or me, and they have plenty of reason to fire them.

Unfortunately, you give them a whopping great big reason to fire you if you go complain. Somethingsomething "causes trouble." You know? :/

It's because due to the various noises from cars and city in general, birds have adapted to do things like mating calls between midnight and dawn. At least, this is what remember from a biologist's explanation for this I heard earlier this year.

Anonymous complaint!

Hahahaha.
Our search for a new housemate is off to an auspicious start. One guy apparently missed my friend's message saying 5 PM and showed up to look at the room at 11 AM instead, when of course everyone was asleep. The dude waited around outside for an hour, according to him. I guess he didn't want to ring the doorbell... or maybe he did, and everyone was too deeply asleep. Wouldn't surprise me.

Now, as my friend and I were doing some last-minute cleaning before people start showing up (the next one is under an hour away), his cat came in from outside and blew chunks all over the rug in the loungeroom. Soggy catfood (and the accompanying smell) everywhere.

I'll leave him to sort that out. Right now I want to make myself presentable if I have to meet these people.
Also I need to check out the advertisement he put up so I can criticise his spelling and grammar if necessary...

i just looked at my limitation to 3 for fraymotifs, thought "why" and raised it to 8

8.

186,177,155,380,404,771 fraymotifs? sure why not

actually, just kidding, really it's more like 1,283,918,464,548,864.

And that's a Borderlands-level audacious lie, too, it's going to be modifiers for the most part. In terms of actual effects and such, there's only going to be 144. The big number assumes I can get the modifiers working, too, or else I'll have to just go with the 144.

You are insane, which makes you a good modder, I think.
