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.

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.

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.

@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 "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

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.

@vernandex everyone else can do whatever the hell they want, I’m not the one advocating for controlling people here. That’s you. So take that individual liberties BS and jam it up your rear end, we’re all grown ups here, we can skip the “muh freedom” dog and pony show, we all know you don’t actually care about that.
-
@vernandex Are you aiming for incomprehensible, or is that just an unfortunate side effect of going full rant? Because I get that, myself, too... But regardless, I'm failing to wrap my head around "I'm regarding your post as a troll post, because of the software the site runs on" bit... He's not even the admin, he's unrelated to site software.

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.

@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.

@mushi A friend of mine uses Julia for his work. Personally I don't like it very much as it reminds me of Matlab and I dislike Matlab very much. Cannot help you there

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?

@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

The stylistic influence that Edd Gould’s animation had on my work is obvious. Although I’ve tried, in recent years, to downplay it, I think it’s impossible to really deny just how influential Eddsworld was to me. I wonder a lot if what I’m doing meets the standard that his work sets. Am I using that influence to carry on his legacy? Or am I doing him a disservice, like robbing his grave and stripping him of what made him so highly regarded in an attempt to further my own career? Am I a representative of the generation he inspired, a piece of the future, or am I merely a phony, a copycat who clings to the past? These thoughts go through my head a lot. I still wish he’d been around to see it. His death inspired me to take animation seriously as an art form, but the truth is that I’d trade that all away, because I don’t think my presence in this game comes anywhere close to making up for what was lost ten years ago.
Friday, 25-Mar-22 22:01:39 UTC from web-
@zeldatra I mean, like, EVERY puppet* is a Henson-style hand-and-rod all-but Muppet these days, you know? Influence is just one of those things. Some algorithm online keeps telling me I write almost exactly like Stephen King, and I barely read any of his work! I uh... don't know if I got a POINT to that tangent, but. . . .

OK wow. When I was 16 I slipped on a brick wall, fell, and tore a hole in my left shin. I have a distinct scar for as long as I have my leg beneath the knee. Today, my Dad slipped while cleaning the pool. Tearing up his left shin. Back in the 90s, he patched me up and rushed me to urgent care. Today, I was able to repay him in an oddly specific repeat O___O

i made this car in 2016, when I was 19. This is the first time the badging - a very mature nazi joke, poking fun at Mercedes-Benz' origins as a manufacturer - appears on screen. Going back and forth on whether or not I want to retexture it to remove that. http://rainbowdash.net/url/876094

@adiwan It’s to be expected, honestly. The US outlawed slavery long before most modern American companies got their start, and the ones that do go back that long are from New England which was less reliant on slave labor than other places, I’m sure if like Coca Cola existed in 1830 I’d be able to point at them and go “hey this company owned slaves”
