Why did I think it was a good idea to try explaining magnets to a crackhead customer at work?
Sunday, 04-Dec-22 16:52:48 UTC from web-
@scribus love crackheads, I’m so glad that now that the metro stop in my hometown is open the crackheads who I banned from my old store in DC are coming over to my new store in the suburbs so that I can explain to them all over again that no, you cannot trade a gallon of canola oil for a carton of cigarettes like this is some kind of bartering station in Roman Greece
-
@scribus it’s not, but it’s probably fairer in the south than it is in California, a pack of Marlboros is still under $10 here (currently $8.32 after tax)

The dude from Master of Disguise is in my store right now pretending to be an Eastern European gambler who has no idea how to fill out a lottery card and is constantly getting something wrong no matter how many times the instructions are given to him.

I'm doing an anti-"No Shave November". Usually I shave myself every two weeks but this month I try to shave daily or every other day. My verdict so far: Daily shaving is not worth it as my beard grows so fast that I can feel the stubbles after an hour after the shave. Waxing my face is not an option.
Wednesday, 16-Nov-22 08:45:40 UTC from web-
@scribus Yeah. Even with an electric razor it's not very feasible to shave every day because of skin irritation. Honestly I rather prefer not to have a beard at all and would want a permanent hair follicle removal but the risk of scarring my skin on the face is too high.

Was thinking about who I could get to voice Jesus in Swole Foods and realized I don’t have one (1) Jewish friend. These are the drawbacks to not being based in New York or Los Angeles like everyone else in my field.

@zeldatra Jesus was a roman-era Hebrew, so he's pretty distanced from modern day Jews. He's also only half Hebrew since only his mother's lineage can be traced, so arguably you could cast anyone eurasian for the role and not be too far off mark.
-
@nerthos I’m not genuinely that invested in an accurate casting, I’m voicing a south Asian guy which I obviously am not, I just briefly thought it’d be funny to make my imaginary Jewish friend do it

"Those lazy, lazy leaves"! I was taking the scenic route from shopping through the park and there I slid in a corner and fell. I lost all tyre grip because a brown and slimy moist pile of leaves in the curve acted like it's the best replacement for grease in that moment. Luckily there was not much damage. My pants got dirty, a scratch on my knee, and the side of my pedal was heavily scratched.

@nerthos road trip road trip roadtriP ROAD TRIIPPP!!!I
-
@nerthos i've been since msay, but i will go to france again in the end of november, for the last time finally
-
@scribus I would still go on an RDN roadtrip no questions asked, even though I'd probably have to shoot someone a few hours in at this point. Bonus points for a certain someone, in his own words, wanting to hit me with a wrench but 100% not brave enough to actually try if in the same room.
You're cool though, so we can eat fries after the fights die down.

@thelastgherkin Hey there. How's it goin

Working on a paid project over the next few weeks. I will post... MY contributions here when I'm allowed. I WILL NOT post the project itself or even give the name because Gherkin will nuke my account.
Friday, 21-Oct-22 01:44:47 UTC from web-
@scribus it's not, like, i'm working on kanye's next video or anything like that, I'm just doing some extra backgrounds and 3D work and stuff, but the artist leading the project is a NSFW artist so you can probably guess what context this space ship i'm modeling is going to appear in...

I am very disappointed, I thought he had a better sense of humorMonday, 17-Oct-22 02:06:57 UTC from web-
@scribus It's a waste to become immensely rich and not bananapost the world order. In his place, I would have gone through with ceasing satellite operations and responded to any further messages from the ambassador with "lmao" and a version of "friendship ended with mudasir" edited to pictures of zelensky and putin

going on two and a half months without seeing my stalker, just kinda waiting for her to show up

@zeldatra Good gun, a bit expensive for carry if you don't use it often though. I'm a beretta 9mm guy, always found them nice, they were the standard cop gun here for decades.
-
@nerthos I don’t actually carry one, I was being a bit tongue in cheek when I said I needed one for defense, I learned how to use one and it’s what I use when I go to the range but the main reason I did it was for a private security job that would’ve provided one for me. Didn’t end up applying for the job though so it’s just one of those things I know how to do now with no real practical applications for the moment.

Theoretically the work rules and environment at highschools nowadays is downright nightmarish, but since in practice what you can and can't do comes down to how you frame it and how good you are at talking your way through the hierarchy, it's not stressful at all for me and so long as I get results the administration doesn't get in the way.
I do often see other teachers that aren't good at the workplace politics losing hair and sleep over it though.Monday, 10-Oct-22 19:11:36 UTC from web-
@nerthos Ha, "other teachers" / "the District" has been one of the biggest stumbling blocks in my deciding to actually goto school and get teacher-certified up, I do not politick worth a crap
-
@scribus For me "other teachers" hasn't been too big a hurdle, because even though some are antagonistic (particularly the ideologues) they also tend to be massive cowards, so my usual strategy of just talking with full honesty to whoever's in charge is not something they know how to deal with.
The district and the ministry are another issue altogether, they seem to be on some sort of one-sided competition to prove the limits of insanity and incompetence when it comes to regulations and counterproductive ideas can yet be pushed further. The latest great ideas they had was a proposal to remove the attendance requirements so that students can't fail a class by not attending; and to demand tech schools be more lax with dress code (the dress code for tech school is just no hats, no piercings or jewelry in the workshop, pants without holes and knee-length blue or white overall/duster, all of which are basic safety requirements in a workshop)

The legal-in-my-state substances I took hit me way harder than I thought they would last night. Maybe shouldn’t do that again.
Monday, 26-Sep-22 14:15:59 UTC from web-
@scribus there was apparently waaaaaay more THC in the edible than I thought. My brain basically shut down while my body went into autopilot and at some point I just decided to go to sleep because paranoia was setting in. I then slept for twelve hours, woke up, came to work, realized it was still kind of working its way through my system, it’s 3pm now and I’m only just feeling normal again.

@zeldatra hahaha been there, man. Been there.... I was at a Christmas party, and the conversational peer of the Yule Log.

@adiwan We're currently going through the once-a-century social hysteria so at least one of them is true, the other requires more study.

Ooof... Robert Zemeckis can't do it right somehow. The Live-action Pinocchio is borderline bad.

I am going to find it easier and faster to export 360 individual PNG files than figuring out OpenToonz
Tuesday, 30-Aug-22 04:54:56 UTC from web-
@scribus OpenToonz is quite genuinely the least user friendly animation program in the entire Galaxy universe. It was designed to be used exclusively by the guy who first invented it to color Family Guy digitally in 2001 and if you are anybody but that’s one guy you’re SOL.
-
@zeldatra Definitely not touched by anybody who has at any point used anything resembling a mainstream graphics program

Just got off the phone with a very angry customer. I am at home. Beyond furious.

@scribus no, thankfully, my assistant called me on his own phone specifically because the customer wanted to yell at me

Thought about starting a Sims channel but instead of doing what everyone else does just gradually going down a weird avant-garde surreal psychological horror route.

Wow I got mail from VP Harris! Wonder which letter it's in response to (and how inflammatory I was)?

@zeldatra Mine turned out to be pretty much a form letter, probably the same text I'd have gotten from an e-mail

Although tbf the whole reason I need the discount is because I’m teaching myself Storyboard Pro ($65 without the student discount; $7 with it) so I can go for a job opportunity in the United Kingdom, so, you know, this student discount might be what makes it harder to get the student discount.
