Shakin' that stick and driving me crazy,

Your eyes are red and hazy.

I've been using a controller more than M&KB for a few years now since I had an RSI. So much more comfortable; but absolutely shit for my aim without a really aggressive aim assist. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

But I'm more into soulslikes than shooters now anyway. Partly because of the above mentiomed RSI, but mostly because all the current shooters are not my jam. I don't really like BR or extraction/survival shooters. I just want CS or straight up DM type games.

My first acy of piracy, tho I did not know it at the time, was recording songs from the radio to blank cassettes.

I have a hard time with remembering when things happened so I bet most of the videos I could think of didn't originate from YouTube ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

Like the site only started in 2003 but I could swear I started seeing it in high school (I graduated in 2003).

The limit is trying to be 100% unique and novel.

Like, try to imagine a creature that has 0 inspiration from everything you know about real life. Even Lovecraft never came up with things that were entitely alien to the human mind, despite that kinda being the whole point (other than the racism).

Shit, mang; I got banned from Reddit once for just commenting "I agree" to a picture of a girl in a shirt that said "It's always moral to punch a nazi."

That, and a couple other reasons, are why I am here.

There is a term for this thing and I can't remember what it is...

It's not a malapopism; it's like... You use a word mostly correctly, but you say it wrong? Like... "It's ironical" instead of "it's ironic." I vaguely remember Don King being made fun of for talking like this a lot in cartoons and such as a kid. Adding unnecessary flourishes to outmoded or "smart" sounding words to try and sound even smarter/fancier.

If anyone can tell me what that is called, I'd be thankful. I can't seem to describe what I mean well enough for a search. It usually points me to malaporpism, which again isnt what I am talking about. I am pretty sure the word I am looking for derives from the name of a person or character that was well known to speak this way.

I gotta go with Buffy Fish. The name adds to the cuteness that "screech" doesn't.

Both the art and the name of this owl are adorable.

Why would you wanna forget it? It's a good song! ๐Ÿฅน

Of course the majority who do see it positively are around my age.

This is a context clue that can help you find the answer within the article.

Votes not updating (pawb.social)

Just noticed that the votes on posts/comments are not always updating and just showing the default +1/-0 from when they are posted, even when other apps and interfaces show a change.

 

Since sometime last night, I have to manually refilter the sorting of comments because it's not using the method I have set in the settings anymore. It is set to be by New in the settings, but it keeps reverting back to Hot when loading a post.

 

I was hoping it was just gonna stop annoying me every 12-36 hours but it feels like it's updating even more recently.

 

I need to know if I am stupid or crazy or what here...

As far as I am aware, non-prepared food items no longer have sales tax or a snack tax like they did when I was a kid. The only taxes I know I would be paying for a canned soda would be the CRV/California Redemption Tax, which is a flat $0.10 per aluminum can ($0.15 for glass bottle).

If the can of NOS is priced at $1.98, I expect the total price to be $2.08. However, the price ends up coming out to $2.21. Where the fucking hell is the other goddam $0.13 coming from? Are they charging me the fucking bag fee even when I don't get bags?

I know it is classified as a tax and not just the price being mislabeled because when I pay for it using foodstamps, I am only actually charged $1.98 period since the system automatically removes taxes from the payment (I only see this reflected by the SNAP balance, not the POS system at the store, BTW). It's still disconcerting to clearly see a discrepancy in what is attempting to be charged, tho.

Is there some other tax I am not aware of or something? Everywhere I encounter this happening does not have itemized receipts (which I find pretty scummy), so I can't just find out by looking at that.

I am slowly building up a playlist of songs that are furry or furry adjacent, and I came across this fucking knee slapper by Local H about transforming into a werewolf. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

 

Not sure how to title this better ๐Ÿ˜…

Are there any games that you tend to play contrary to how they are intended?

What prompted this question was playing Project Zomboid; but I am all comfortable and snug in my home base that it doesn't feel like playing a zombie survival game anymore. I feel like I am just playing The Sims with a character that mimics my introverted ass. I never leave the house and just spend all day reading, watching videos, learning new crafts, and just staying alive. I have no need to scavenge since I am loaded up with tons of armor, guns, ammo, food, a source of water, a generator and acess to a near limitless supply of fuel from an underground fuel tank generated in the basement.

How 'bout y'all? Do you prefer Surf to actual Counter-Strike? Have an unconventional way of playing Pokemon? I wanna know! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

 

Awkward title probably, but lemme explain:

The question is "This piece of French architecture was finished on January 26, 1887." You know this is the Eiffel Tower. But when you buzz in and give the response, you say:

"Who is the Eiffel Tower?"

Would you be awarded the points for being correct, or docked the points for being incorrect since you didn't say "WHAT is the Eiffel Tower?"
