beerwolf Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Jeez. Rarely do I get upset stomach (it’s made from cast iron) but had diarrhoea so bad yesterday evening. It took five Imodium in a couple of hours to get it under control, six is the dose for a whole day. Usually two will do the trick. Obviously not at work today as I’m physically wiped out. I can’t even say what caused it. Quite sure it wasn't anything I ate as all I had was some fruit and some nuts before it started. Not exactly food that’s gonna make you shit through the eye of a needle. Probably a bug I picked up on my fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drillkicker Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I have a curse. I am uniquely marked with an evil sign that will stay with me until death. I am fundamentally different from other people. I am condemned by people and I need to find a way to live without anyone else around me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you on that loud and clear. I wonder if narcissism is amplified by using social media. Curating and distorting a presentation of one’s self on a daily basis probably gives someone further license to be a selfish prick in real-life social situations. Seems so, right? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems so, right? nailed it. that's exactly what it does for the majority of FB/twitter/IG/whatever users. it is self aggrandizing to the max in the online sphere, for people who may not act like that in actuality. I think for heavy users it is only a matter of time before the online depiction of one's self (the one that brags/shows off, acts like a boss) and real self start blending together. that's currently where we are in human society, I think. a lot of heavy social media users out there, who have all turned into giant pricks in the real world. these people think they are so important, all because they have X number of followers. their insane beliefs, like JFK coming back from the dead, or other such nonsense, is all reinforced by other people exactly like them on their twitters, or what not. this is known in psychology as an echo chamber effect: Quote The echo chamber effect occurs online when a harmonious group of people amalgamate and develop tunnel vision. Participants in online discussions may find their opinions constantly echoed back to them, which reinforces their individual belief systems due to the declining exposure to other's opinions. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ignatius Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 needed a new cycling hat. my pabst $7 hat that i've worn for like 10 years is starting to fall apart. it fits perfectly though and most cycling hats are too damn tight and strangle my skull. i have good winter hats for cycling but not good summer hats other than the PBR hat. so, i stopped by my local fav bike shop who has some hats. found some larger ones that fit well. spendy but i figured good since i won't be buying any more hats for years. so, i didn't look in the mirror w/the hats i tried on. .only judged the fit by the feel of them. bought 2 hats. both fit well. when i got home i looked in the mirror and idk. one is kinda baggy in places. the other has a tiny bill. both fit under the helmet perfectly though so there's that. they're not ideal but are comfortable and i will have to wear them in i guess. tldr. hats i bought aren't perfect but will do.

drillkicker Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 my phone broke last night and I had to spend $180 on an iPhone 8 until I can fix it. I drove around aimlessly without a map looking for another google pixel and nobody had them so I had to settle for this pos phone that I hate.

Squee Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I think one of my best clients is trying to ditch me in favour of third world country labor. This is fucking me up because it means that I'll lose a big percentage of my income and my girlfriend and I are looking for a new place to live.

cruising for burgers Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 oh and another really strange thing is that the maximum speed I get on my cellphone is around 20kbps (yes you've heard it right, twenty fucking kilobytes per second) but when I use my laptop I get around 500kbps... I've tried different browsers and tweaked up the network settings in the phone's developer options and nothing... it happens with my mates phones as well so... go figure... but it really pisses me off...

We have a cricket that lives under our front doorstep that normally doesn’t bother me but last night something about the volume and frequency gave me a splitting headache. I won’t kill him tho. I’ve caught hood ass and thrown him outside maybe 5 or 6 times but he keeps coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubularCorporation Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I don't mind the chirping at all, but I have my music stuff set up in a finished room the people who were here before me built down there and nowdays I do most of my work from home and a lot of it gets done down there, too. So far in the last 3 days I've caught one cricket, found a second dead one, and I can still hear at least three more. One cricket is cute, two is fine, five is too many crickets (plus I don't want anything else coming in through the spot the crickets found, but it's up behind some wiring in the ceiling and I can't even see it - I just know where it is because there's always at least one of them chirping up there, and the ohters are near that spot.
