Got a modest 3% raise.
Wednesday, 27-Oct-21 17:07:27 UTC from web-
@scribus It helps to keep financing my monthly dose of comics. The raise is about as much as I pay for comics. And I read a ton of comics.

Here’s the thing. I didn’t *really* know her all that well. I’ve been at this store for two months and we worked in different departments. But I know her husband. We worked the evening shift together almost every night at my last store. Dude’s torn up right now and I feel so bad for him. Don’t mango talk his dead wife to me, or we’re gonna have major problems that involve your head and your ass meeting one another for the first time in your life.

Seems the latest is, someone took the gun or guns target shooting or hunting over the weekend

@scribus WTF if true. In the United States of Gunmerica this sounds more likely than in any other part of the world. The neglect of safety measures around guns is baffling beyond reason.

Customer came in complaining that her cake order didn’t get finished on time. Told her that the baker died and so we were unable to finish today’s orders. She then asked who was going to make her cake because she needs it now. Certified customer service moment.

@scribus Usually there is someone responsible for the props, inventory, and blank ammo (without bullet).
-
@adiwan Yeah, it's been a real screwjob. The head armorer expressed doubt she was qualified, the union camera crew walked out mere hours before the incident because of two accidental discharges the previous week.

Well, day three of Adderall, and I'm pretty sure my leg bouncing mostly ends within the first hour

Hey guys, take it from someone who is now having to do it for the second time in as many years: having to pretend that an associate at your store is still alive until everyone is notified that she died in surgery this morning is Not Fun.

Well I just took my first Adderall. Time to see if it's ADHD or not, I guess!

Clearly not much of a problem anymore. Dole was simply born too early.

No, not Donald Trump telling Republicans not to vote if he isn’t reinstated. Anything but that.
Thursday, 14-Oct-21 00:41:34 UTC from web-
@scribus Oh, also, if he WERE “reinstated” he technically would be allowed to run for a second full term because the only method possible for “reinstatement” involves Republicans winning back the House, making him Speaker, and somehow winning 17 extra Senate seats with a map where they’ll be lucky if they get three, then impeaching/removing Biden-Harris simultaneously for ?????, which obviously would not be possible until 2023, when the next Congress is sworn in. So long as he is sworn in on January 21st or later, he would be allowed to run for another four year term since finish that term would bring him to just under the constitutional limit of ten years. If that’s his plan, it’s an incredibly contrived and unrealistic plan, but it is technically a plan nonetheless.

My store really said “Columbus Day is racist? Dope” and ended holiday pay starting this year, a move negotiated with and sanctioned by UFCW, of course.
Tuesday, 12-Oct-21 02:51:06 UTC from web-
@scribus They didn’t pay us for Juneteenth either despite Congress having made it a federal holiday and The President having signed the bill the week before. Said it was “too late” to change payroll, which is BS.
-
@zeldatra not that accounting can amend it afterwards and give the money with the next paychexk

don’t really see the point in a Nickelodeon crossover fighter if you aren’t gonna have VO. Makes the crossover aspect feel hollow if these cartoon characters are all mutes without personalities. Just play Smash Bros. at that point.

@zeldatra R&S seems so loaded, I'm surprised they'd even make mute or impersonated appearances
-
@scribus I made a video about this last year, but the basic gist of it was that John K. was fired so early into the show’s initial run that it kind of wasn’t even his show anymore by the time the original series ended, so I personally don’t think R&S should necessarily carry his baggage, especially since we don’t really apply that same standard to more recent works with creators who were disgraced for similar reasons (The Loud House got a movie this year, even). https://youtu.be/1bVrf7n_Yek
-
@zeldatra That makes some sense. I never watched it, growing up, or really at all, so I know pretty much zilch on the topic directly. Mostly just aware that separating the achievement from the achiever is always thorny; for example, slave-owners who wrote a legal document that said "all men are created equal."

Tyres are expensive.
Friday, 08-Oct-21 07:48:12 UTC from web-
@scribus All-season car tyres with aluminium rims what I have ordered. I didn't want to cheap out on something that will last a while and is essential for safety. Also a little bit for the looks doesn't hurt in the whole scheme of things. Steel rims are half as expensive but are also adding unnecessary weight and look like ass.
-
@adiwan And isn't steel at risk if you live anywhere with weather? Salt for snow, or even just beach-salt...
-
@scribus Yeah... My old (and stolen) car had steel rims. They had quite the rusty spots but they were covered by a plastic cap that gave the illusion they were nicer.

@michaelthemoron Aim for "not," it's so much more fun, despite the trials and travails and tribulations and . . . trash trends trampling thought?

gotta use Adobe Animate's automatic lipsync tool for this cartoon due to time constraints and it's pretty bad, BUT it gives me a pretty good baseline, so even though I need to redo a lot of it, it still saves me a lot of time. Hopefully once I understand it’s speech recognition algorithm a little better I’ll be able to get it so I don’t have to tweak the output as much.
Friday, 08-Oct-21 08:40:59 UTC from web-
@zeldatra Ugh, speech recognition... I still feel like I enunciate WAY too well to struggle with it as much as I do

@scribus Thanks. I was really lucky mixing the base color to get the gray with the blue-ish tint I was aiming for. Because of the size I bought a cheap acrylic paint set and mixed white and black in a 1:1 ratio and then added about 1/3 of that amount with navy blue, and added a bunch of drops of silver metallic paint. Depending on the time of day it looks more blue or gray. On the other hand I had troubles getting rid of the layer lines using filler primer, sandpaper and files, especially the sides towards the center.

RIP the Golgo artist. He did James Bond better than James Bond.

Already my end-of-year savings milestone to be able to buy a house by the end of 2022. West Virginia, here I come.

@scribus I’m gonna say the second one because I’ve said mean things about capitalists on Twitter and so participating in capitalism is liable to get me in a great deal of trouble.

I'm baffled by the number of battery-operated (internal rechargeable via USB or conventionally insertable AA or AAA) lights for bikes that are being sold. There is a thing called dynamo. No hassle recharging, always attached at the bike, reliable. There are hub dynamos that have almost no resistance (only the induced electrical field has some resistance) and are silent. It makes me somewhat annoyed and mad that people buy this crap. Additional lights... fine. But they are mostly advertised as main front and rear lights.

@adiwan I always kind of wanted one on my bike, but I also get ripped off so damn often that I can't bring myself to make a serious investment in it. They stole my seat!! I've had people steal my little speedometer, but not the tire attachment that actually makes it work! I watched a jerk ride off on my bike itself, and was a half-swcond too late in being certain to clothesline them... and my present borderline-cheapo bike is all rusted and sun-damaged.

Just got done driving to Henrico County and during the drive I was trying to come up with a voice for a character. Eventually settled on “Genie from Aladdin but voiced by Dan Castellaneta”, which I realize is basically just a gay, possibly Jewish version of Homer Simpson.

@zeldatra No offense, but I *did* do everything in my limited power to make sure your cartoon had no basis in reality....

@scribus I liked it a lot! Ryan Reynolds kind of carries the film and I think without him it isn’t nearly as funny though. He like, makes the movie.

@zeldatra @scribus The number of cases are rising here as well and I don't want to risk any contact with strangers that's not necessary, especially when sitting in an enclosed room for hours. I'm vaccinated but still. This time I'll probably go to the sea that is called Internet and become a filthy pirate. I already gave more money than necessary for watching Black Widow at home.
