  1. A longtime cashier at my new store just gifted me a hand-crafted Dominican cigar to welcome me to the store. Is this normal? Is that a thing old people do?

  3. Read a story on CNN about how they’ve nearly doubled the price of Japanese rail tickets for foreigners, up to ¥50,000 from ¥29,000. Is it bananaed up that my first thought was “well, the yen is falling in value so quickly that by next week it’ll be like nothing even changed?”

  8. just got accused of racism at the store because “you look like a Hispanic”, which I’m pretty sure is the most racist way you can accuse somebody of being racist

  11. Weird thought I just had: do you think someone who doesn't know sign language would have an easier time understanding ASL or something improvised by another non-ASL-knower?

    about 9 months ago from web
    • @scribus Typed an entire response about how ASL would probably be the harder one only to realize that my reasoning applies to braille, not ASL. I found ASL somewhat easy to learn (could not use it today, though) and I’m crazy bad with foreign languages so maybe the answer’s in there somewhere?

    • @zeldatra According to 2 people on a discord server I'm on, one of whom has a non-verbal child, improvised is easier (and the ASL sign for "Hallway" and "Focus" are the same except for the eyebrows)

  12. There are no restrooms in Washington DC metro stations. I had to venture into the city on Saturday to find a bathroom. Found a Macy’s. It was close enough. What I’m mad about is that in DC you get charged your fare when you leave the station rather than the way it works in Europe where you pay for a distance up front, so I basically paid $2 to use the bathroom.

  14. Gardening will be a pain. Everything is mostly overgrown with ivy. There was even a cut dead tree fully overgrown by that stuff. The tree was so decayed it was basically at the strength of cardboard. The ivy gave it the most structural integrity.

  15. "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" what a bad movie. For the most part it's "fine". Very slow pacing but "fine". The last act was the kick into the groin.

  16. I have the keys to the house. If it weren't for the heat, I'd be moving my stuff to the house. 31°C and no clouds. Unbearable.

  17. The last season of Disenchantment is quite a mess in how the story was told.

    about 9 months ago from web
    • @adiwan I think the whole show would have gone a lot better if the first 4 seasons tried to develop the overarching plot during the whole season instead of just the first and last 2 episodes. This latest one was, like, "all plot, all the time!" and it felt so slapped together. Not awful, but I'm glad they didn't try to keep it alive for 40 years, and I'm not hopeful that Comedy Central will pick it up for a revival in 2030.

    • @scribus I think the creators had a lot of internal conflict on how to create an epic and make the episodes episodic, like Futurama and Simpsons. I fully agree with you. I really liked the characters, some more, some less, but none were truly terrible (even Elfo to some degree). It's just that the plot made all of them brainless and stupid stretching all of the characters to an unrecognizable form. Fast-forwarding a lot of the plot didn't help. In this season, multiple times, there was no reason to stop a chase but it happened despite no reason at all.

  18. In a week I'll own a house! I'd be happier if the city wouldn't penny-pinch me. I had to pay a bill for something that the city should pay themselves: an investigation if the city has an interest in buying the house (first refusal right).

    • @adiwan Wow that is a dumb demand, but congratulations on the homeownership!

      about 9 months ago in context
    • @scribus Thanks. The bill was 65€ for that. I will certainly suffer for pleasure of owning a home, especially since there was nothing done for over 40 years and has still wallpaper from the late 70s. What has to be done: New switch box (solar power ready), new electric cables, new windows, roof isolation, the wilderness of a garden needs to be tamed. Also when I'm at it I'll lay down network cables everywhere, at least CAT7 and glass fiber.

  24. I’m a few years out from dating being permanently weird, because pretty soon everyone in my pool is either gonna have kids (I AM BAD WITH KIDS) or be enough years younger than me that I, personally, would feel weird dating them even if other people probably don’t really care that much.

  25. Each successive Trump indictment is funnier than the last because every time he’s practically begged people to riot on his behalf at the various courthouses where his arrests occur and like five people show up every time.

  26. In yesterday's D&D session I used my lizard familiar, placed it on my druid character's head, activated the feature to look through the familiar's eyes, and thusly gained 30ft darkvision. A poor man's Goggles of Night.

  27. I think this hotel is not for people like me, it’s next to a bunch of corporate headquarters and data centers, the lobby is a trendy bar where a bunch of tech guys are drinking top shelf liquor, and the TV knows my name.

  29. New Futurama’s pretty funny. Billy West‘s voice ain’t what it used to be though. Fry sounds like he’s been in the future for 23 years or something.
