This morning I startled the woman at the baker's shop. It was a few minutes after opening and nobody was lining up. The woman was preparing the coffee machine and I walked to the counter. I wasn't particularly sneaky. I mean I wasn't quiet on purpose. When I said "hello" she jumped up as if I wanted to rob this place. Not that extreme but it was a big reaction.

@adiwan I'm just gonna pretend that this is why my joints all pop, not because I've been falling apart for 3 decades, but out of courtesy for people I may accidentally sneak up on otherwise

@scribus Occasionally my knees pop loudly as well. Not today, but there were days when walking up the stairs made of stone sound like they are wooden.

Hearing Kingdom Hearts IV’s theme song will be an Eminem feature to try and appeal to people who liked that period in the early 2010s where every pop album had Eminem on it

@scribus only slightly related, but Em DID sample Kingdom Hearts on his Kamikaze album. I hate that I know that.

My D&D group adopted a Xorn, a gem-eating monster, and named it Ruby. We bought some Xorns to smuggle them to a mine in order to sell them there but we kept one, as my character was good enough in animal handling that it got tamed.

@scribus He did not do that much of research and neglected eating enough mushrooms (doesn't like them much) and neglected using supplements.

@scribus I was thinking more like a cane with a shotgun barrel at the tip so I can trick people into thinking I’m frail and an easy target

I genuinely believe we need a constitutional amendment securing the innate human right to kick the everloving goddamnit out of people who make -- or kowtow to implement -- moronic ass-backwards software design choices. Why in any god's holiest of names would the Keyboard Settings be ANYWHERE OTHER THAN SETTINGS > KEYBOARD??? The HELL I gotta go under papayaing "Time" for this you god damned useless batcaves!!? Who decided this, and have I missed out on the opportunity to skin the dumbass alive and roll them in rock salt?

@zeldatra Why does YouTube have two (or more, I've just found 2) ways to link the tv app and the mobile app, one numeric and the other alphabetic. No idea why there's not just one way, they couldn't pick one?

@scribus Out of nowhere I remembered the ""Injun"" song from Peter Pan for the first time in twenty years and on a rewatch, oh man. Oh man

@thelastgherkin Well you inspired me to go back and take a look at it. I always wondered why people weren't more offended, but I still forgot half of how bad it is.

I'm new here! I'm very excited :)

My store was fully stocked on baby formula until the news started saying we were running out of baby formula. Now we’re running out of baby formula because people think we’re running out of baby formula and they’re coming in to buy as much as they can. Completely manufactured panic.

@zeldatra Yo dawg I heard you're running out of (SUPPLY), so I'm hear doing a run on (SUPPLY) so you run out of more (SUPPLY) when (SUPPLY) is running out

Avatar is the least-exciting hyped movie I can remember. Everybody praises the 3D viewing experience but I think the use of 3D is only so good because all other 3D movies did it wrong in a way or another. Story-wise it's a dud in my opinion. The plot is as transparent as the main protagonist is flat and uninteresting.

That’s what I remember

@zeldatra I remember the 3D being so good that I tried batting ash out of my vision during the climax. And did they drag Sigourney Weaver into it, too?

Really think Adam Sandler shoulda been the next Doctor. Doctor Jew.
Sunday, 08-May-22 16:30:04 UTC from web-
@zeldatra I heard the BBC passed because the songs he tried out just didn't fit with their vision of the Doctor. I guess acoustic-guitar-backed manchild moans about "timey-wimey" just appeal to a very select audience.
-
@scribus was really looking forward to hearing the doctor talk like an actor whose entire understanding of mental disability comes from very special episodes of the 1980s

@zeldatra Were you looking for some kind of lost Sims 2 thing? https://simworld.neocities.org/frontpage.html
Saturday, 07-May-22 00:40:26 UTC from web-
@scribus this is an interesting read! Sims 2 fortunately though has a large modding community at modthesims.info (as well as elsewhere for people looking for more, ah, substantive content) so the lost media don’t bug me as much

i go to watch Sonic 2 and when i get back i learn I've missed a prominent Republican Congressman getting his gay sex tape leaked, then him claiming that the gay sex in the gay sex tape was simply a prank and there was nothing gay or sexual about it.

@zeldatra I guess we need to watch the whole thing to see whether or not a) the balls touched, or 2) they said "no homo" in time

Really very strange that in England you’re required to take your pants off while security points and laughs at the grocery store. I get enough of that from American women.

@vernandex You don't have the slightest idea with whom you are conversing
-
@vernandex "Who is the two-bit," since you have demonstrated your inability to read, is turning YOUR insult against Matt back on you, when YOU stepped up and purported to know not only the ages of every user on this site, active or otherwise, but the age of the original enquirer back to their own face. I believe it is a form of irony, but nobody can agree on that one so /shrug

@scribus idk what to respond with when you cant even reply to the correct post...

Got today my first scammer on my company phone. They spoofed a local phone number (probably a SIP gate) and called probably from India, as the caller had an Indian accent and spoke English. They said they were from Microsoft and my computer had a "problem". I didn't hesitate very long and hung up. It'd be funny to waste their time but it's also my time too that would have been wasted.
Friday, 01-Apr-22 12:14:25 UTC from web-
@adiwan I've tried messing with a few scammers/spammers in the past, but I seem to be no good at it. They never reply to my responses, I must be too obvious.
-
@scribus I’ve been known to subtly waste a phone scammer’s time at my place of work, to the point that some of them, if I pick up and they recognize my voice, they’ll immediately hang up.

Now, I, fully vaccinated AND having caught the virus, personally am proceeding through life as I did prior to the pandemic, with the exception that I wear a mask to work and in crowded places still, but the idea that there should be zero precautions taken whatsoever and people just shouldn’t care about it anymore is frankly incredibly shortsighted.
Thursday, 31-Mar-22 17:02:34 UTC from web-
@scribus The blatantly-rude and incorrect comment "we can skip the “muh freedom” dog and pony show, we all know you don’t actually care about that" is incorrect for many reasons, but one in particular that can be proven here: This site runs on GNUSocial (previously known as statusnet), and I learned about this website through exploring GNU software that I do not usually use. I ise Free software and reccomend it to my peers because I very much do caer about freedoms and liberties, unlike the aforementioned. All of the aspects of my "rat" are perfectly comprehensible, but I would understand that you would be confused as the StatusNet link now directs to an unrelated website.
-
@vernandex Right, but how does you using FOSS make HIM a troll?

@vernandex sorry, we're talking about rats now???

Saying Covid is over is not the same as Covid being actually over. Ignoring facts doesn't help. It makes things worse. I'm disgusted.
Thursday, 31-Mar-22 07:26:25 UTC from web-
@vernandex I am fed up by people doing the thing that perpetuates the current situation. Instead of getting it under control it is getting worse. I want it to be over but doing the opposite is madness.
-
@adiwan You know it's never going to "be" over, right? You can't exactly get rid of a respiratory disease that almost everyone has had alread, and the mindless proponents of the things that are supposed to stop the disease don't realize know what the law of diminishing returns are. People are over it, no one cares anymore; they'd rather get sick for a while instead of wearing masks and get forced medications than pretend like it'll one day go away entirely. The most you can do is stop holding things up by wearing masks all the time for no good reason and, maybe, getting sick once in a while, like normal.
-
@vernandex I always wonder why the party who asks "Why do you care?" cares, y'know? This door swings both ways, as the Hermits say.

@mushi I know a guy who's been using it for a few years. What do you need?

@vernandex i literally need everything xD.
I accidentally ended up on a course on it and it is my first contact with coding and i'm screwed xD -
@mushi ...well, here's everything: https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/. Have fun with programming, I guess.

Are there bars in airports? I’m flying to England in a couple of weeks and I just realized my return trip has a four hour layover in Lisbon. The Potato Knishes am I gonna do in Portugal for four hours?
Sunday, 27-Mar-22 15:06:44 UTC from web-
@zeldatra I think there's always been a bar in the American airports I've been at, I spent a couple of hours sampling flights in a wine bar in Florida before coming home
