Wandering Adventure Party

I suppose this is why everyone just says the initials : P-N-G files. No one wants to ping-pong between the names.

I want to eat when I am hungry, and sleep in peace when I am tired. This is the smallest thing I can ask for, and yet I’d have to burn down the whole world to get it.

Great. So they need to get the shredded remains of the package back before they’ll do anything. I sent pictures of its state and refused delivery, so I verifiably do not have any piece of the order and cannot be running a scam. They have it insured, and the remnants are being returned to them. So the only thing they need to verify is if I am fucking with them or not, which is kinda insulting. I want to tell the rep how stupid this is, but there is no reason to bite the head off a support drone just following orders. ​​

You can tell who is at the top of a system by their ability to escape from said system.White people don't think most race all the time, rich people don't think about money most of the time. at least not until someone tries to break out of the system or put them in it. They're able to move out of the confines when it suits them.

The problem with any UX designer considering a project “their baby” is that every mother thinks their baby looks good, even when it actually likes like a boil on a goblin’s scrotum. Yes, I am talking about Apple’s liquid glass.

You can do everything right, and still fail. You can be entirely blameless, yet still be responsible. You can have all the facts and still be wrong. The universe is a very unfair place.

I couldn’t let the kids favorite cat be put down over the holiday. Been there, done that. But my holiday plans have gotten a lot less exciting.

I know you’re not supposed to manage other peoples emotions. I don’t know what you’re supposed to do when they won’t and you still have to live with them.Like the relationship advice is the emotional equivalent to being told to stand by while someone sets your lawn on fire.

Maybe it’s impossible to untangle certain kinds of unhappiness.

Sometimes the best way to game prep is just to put on something weird and fantastical and just let your brain flow through it.

It took them a long time to get to it, but at least they didn’t fight me on my looted package since I refused to take the delivery and it went into Return to Sender from their view. I wasn’t sure if that was going to be the right move at the time. Now I just have to hope it makes it this time and someone in the post doesn’t steal it.

I can’t really explain why, but Ace Combat is probably my favorite series, even though I acknowledge the stories are silly, it’s kinda niche, and the gameplay has been more incremental than innovative. But anyways I am very excited tonight since Wings of Theve was announced. ​​

I’m reminded again that it’s probably better to not explain myself and to just to what I need to do. It removes much the ego of the thing if I don’t require someone else to understand or condone me.

it really makes you think. That’s where you’re wrong. You don’t survive on the internet long if you do not acquire strong memetic and cognitohazard defenses. I can skip over your brainrot like it’s nothing.

Several key people were out this last week, and no contingency was in place. I just started handing out orders, running org, and inviting myself to leadership meetings, and everyone just … accepted it. Very little pushback. I don’t suffer a lot from bystander effect (I worry about what that says about me sometimes), so it’s a bit wild to me just how much power you can have in a situation just by asserting you have it.

I almost got ran over by someone taking a right on red, but I dodged him. The guy behind him stopped and thanked me for paying attention. ​​ you’re welcome?

Well. Went to the post office. They presented me a package that had obviously been torn into. (Bad packaging my ass, the whole front of the box was ripped off) only the expensive items had been taken. They wouldn’t provide me documentation that it had been damaged, so I refused the delivery. So… now I have to go fight for a refund or a resend. Really annoyed. That explains why they fake “attempted” a delivery and didn’t even leave a slip.

It would become performative if I explained it. Otherwise it will remain mysterious actions at a distance.

Online arguing gets a lot easier when you limit yourself to one reply. Just say your peace, and if they don’t get it, let them have the last word and move on. A dozen more replies won’t change anyone’s mind. …in fact it’s just feel free to ignore replies you don’t like. It’s a public forum, some annoying replies is the price of admission. Raging about it does no one any good.
