  1. hearing people at work speak about intersex individuals as if it's some recent millennial trend is trimming precious years off my already flimsy life span

  2. "BUT I do know that the whole instance is making my life harder" Yeah, like how it's hard being exiled from your family Christmas party, because your depressed, transphobic relative is going to be there, and everyone is worried that your mere presence will push him over the edge?

  6. I despise Caitlyn Jenner but I’m not gonna deadname her out of spite or whatever, in any case she hasn’t been relevant in like three years so to bring her up out of nowhere just says a lot about how out of touch you are to begin with

  7. what's the point of youtube premieres other than to show me something i can't watch yet

  8. Adding “obstruction of Congress” to the list of impeachment articles was a smart move on paper because it’s way easier to say “okay, yeah, he did that even if he didn’t do the other stuff”, and I’m betting if any GOP Senators vote to convict it’ll be on that charge - won’t be enough of ‘em, though. not soliciting opinions

  9. Someone told me to watch https://youtu.be/cZYNADOHhVY

    Which is an animated story of a kingdom desperately needing to beat a dragon. The story is an obvious euphamism.

    Just do not read the first YouTube comment. Though this might be a poor man's attempt at reverse psychology warfare, or maybe not.

    Regardless, go see that story, it is about 13 minutes long.

  10. Working for an IT company and the network is down. Everybody use their company phones as hotspots.

  11. I'm configuring my new computer back and forth on several shop websites and I'm always getting easily up to 2000€. Essentially I cannot recycle most of my components. HDDs, DVD drive only. My last configuration was an AMD 3700x, 64GB DDR4-3200, 1TB m.2 SSD, NVidia 2800 super, mainboard, 800W power supply, case. I need a new case because my current has only usb2 ports at the front and I'd like to have something better. Other than that it has some serious scratches from over 14 years of use as well as an unsightly opening on the side panel when these CPU "tubes" were in fashion for directly venting the hot CPU air out. This was never used because my cooler was not shaped in the way to benefit from that.

  12. In the 70s Nixon ordered nuclear strikes that were ignored by military officials because he wasn’t seen as being mentally fit to make those decisions (Richard Nixon was, of course, an alcoholic). We didn’t know about the orders until decades later. Have fun thinking about that one while you sleep tonight!

    • @mrmattimation Yeah if you strip down the story of details and essentials I can make anyone ( even you ) seem like a total incompetent bubbling buffoon that could play as antagonist in a Mark Groening cartoon somehow.

      I do not know all the details. But I do know that North Korea shot down a 'Lockheed EC-121 Warning Star' ( essentially the 1950's version of what we understand now as AWACS ) and killed some 30 something Americans.

      Some FBI agent noted how he became 'obsessed' with the EC-121 incident.

      When Richard Nixon got on the phone to order PLANS for a tactical nuclear strike and target recomendations however, Henry Kissinger got the JCOS to pull a 25th amendment untill at least he sobered up. Probably because he sounded drunk.

      I heard that he forgot about the B61 attached to the F-4 in Kunsan Air Base.

      I like doing Trivia night with you tho.

      Can we talk about Vasiki Arkhipov next ?

  13. Let's see now. At least double gyroscope, the way that the inner skeleton meets in the nose part like that. If I were a Boeing fanboy I would say it looks like someone gave vertical UAV capability to a modified MQ-25 skeleton with N233XT engines. Because it most certainly does NOT look like any CAV ( Boeing's cargo drone ) non experimental stuff.

    I do not expect Disney to keep them for long as just the maintenance, liability, and battery costs are going to be HUUGE. Especially in a time where they are already cutting costs on any live entertainment.

    Comparitatively if you want to run it for longer than half a year with about just as much freedom as a pre-determined flight-path, they would have gone with good looking props and a detatchable chair lift system painted black.

    I expect these drones to end up in some extreme collectors posession before long. http://rainbowdash.net/url/875371

  14. Tbh I think that the fact that real X-Wings have taken flight is proof that Disney needs to be stopped.

    • @mrmattimation Really ? That is the point where you go "I think Disney might have gone too far" ?

      I won't rant at you for hours on end about how Rey Skywalker is a gigantic Mary Sue, or that Oscar Isaac is going to be GLAD to be gone from the franchise soon enough, or how everyone is expecting John Boyega to squeal like a piggy about how bad Disney is before long enough ( I honestly have higher hopes for Mark Hamill )... or hell, the parks...

      Instead, Disney could not even secure the 'rights' to do these cargo-drone flyby 'stunts' for longer than just the weekend because the FAA does not want them to.

      And after some contractor hired a contractor to install the trackless system upside down ( which meant the concrete needed to be torn out ) or the MULTIPLE breakdowns of Rise of the Resistance ( because it needed more time in the oven before being ready for prime-time ) I am not sure if I can blame ANYONE for thinking Disney is too fat&bloated&incompetent.

    • @mrmattimation I say it doesn't count until they are capable of space flight, THEN it's too far. But I'll still hold out for warp capabilities.

  19. I’m being investigated at work over an allegation that everyone knows is totally bogus, and now the guy is saying he doesn’t want them to check the cameras. Gee, I wonder why.

  20. YouTube commercial : "Please buy the Game of Thrones HBO complete series on DVD or Blue-Ray."

    My brain : "No thanks, I think the yearly recommended dose for rage induced haematoma's is a zero"

    Its a good thing alcohol serves as a blood-thinner. or GoT might have actually killed me.

    But on second thought that might have been RRM/D&D's plot from the start, hmm...

  21. Today I learned there is a Sega Master System game called "Dragon papaya." I don't even know if it will pass the #, but it turns out it is *not* actually a spinoff of "Dragon Ball."

  22. No Karen, there are not 26 days left in this decade. There are 396.

    Yes I know it sounds like the next decade but there was no year 0.

    That means the first decade was year 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.

    That means the 202nd decade is 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020.

    Alright then, enjoy your retirement.

    I know you are only 22, but you just said numbers are arbitrary.

    ...

    Sharing this because I am sure someone could get a laugh out of this.

  24. My steam controllers came in. One of the 2 boxes was all banged up and had repair-tape of the sender all over it. DoA, that story is going to be long, rough, and unpleasant.

    Spend a bit of time on my working steam controller, and it is actually a nice thing. I poked a bit around on my Steam to area's where I do not go pretty often, being greeted with all sorts of soundbytes from GTA VC when I put on the music player on.

    Say Goodnight Mr Diaz !

    But I can see this being a real nice doohickey. Probably going to spend at least some time familiarizing myself with the device, and then if my 2nd one ever gets whole again probably load it up with all sorts of weird stuff. I already know where to begin actually.

    Now the question if it will EVER work well on the Nintendo Switch. Hah, never. the actual buttons and stick are way too LDOS/RDOS to make it halfway comfortable for gaming sessions of over 5 minutes.

    • @mrmattimation With all due respect, I think you are somehow doing what you are doing in the reverse order ?

      I mean I like putting my eggs in my favorite basket as much as the next lazy hen. But you kinda want to return to see the work you do actually do pay off. What if I chose the Beto basket up early ?

      Not to mention that EVERYONE ( and their mum ) are extremely on edge because of the seasonal festivities and the outside cold.

      Besides, the time untill Januari 20th 2021 is a LONG one to cover your ears and plug your eyes.

  27. Wake up, check the funnies that my friends have send me.

    ( >> Twenty-bleeping-ninteen. I was supposed to be on a starship by now, conversing with intelligent robots, deciding what sort of body I'd like to upload my immortal consciousness to. Instead we're all still on this bleeping rock, wondering how to placate the "bleeping working class" ... I'll never forgive the troglodyes who stole the future I EARNED to prolong their worthless existence << )

    What an odd thing to say. Why is this in my daily funnies ?

    Oh... OHHHH !!! I see now... It's a thing Moviebob said. Ohkay so NOW it is funny :D And the more you learn about him the more you agree with the Germans that there should be an English word for Shadenfreude.

    Wait, he was hired in 2018 by the same people who fired him in 2015 in order to make the content less political ?

    This thing is so complicated :o

  29. Playing though Vice City on a modern day computer. Our protagonist has the tendancy to sometimes speak during the loading screens from indoors to outdoors when on missions.

    At one point, just before seeing the racer you need for the heist, he pretty much says in the face of the driver "Why can't I ever meet someone normal ?" as the loading time was too short to let the audio play out. Adding to the humor right at the moment that this driver guy starts to freak out enough that even I just want to throw some crazy pills his way.

    I mean, I won't since he is just a bunch of polygons, and drugs are expensive. But you got the jist of it.

  30. Old Chinese guy who threatened to sue me a few weeks back came in today looking for vitamins that help with your memory. He must need them, because he asked me three separate times where the vitamins were. Then he tried to pay with the gift card I offered him a few weeks back, but he didn’t have the gift card, just an activation slip. I told him there isn’t enough information on the activation slip for me to charge the gift card, he tells me he never got a gift card. I tell him, sir, you’re holding the activation slip for the gift card. He says “you lie to me, i not lie to you, you mistreat customers, you bad man” and leaves. One of the more bizarre things to happen to me this week.
