Mildly Infuriating

Today, I got a spam text addressed to my ex. One of those "WE BUY REAL ESTATE FAST!" types with an address I don't recognize.

Ugh, how is my phone number even connected with their house?!

I'm sure there are perfectly valid reasons for them to take full control of our discord accounts and this won't be abused.

So I have a recipe that ended with “tent with aluminum foil and let rest for 5 minutes.” I never heard this phrase before, so I looked it up. There were multiple lengthy articles (for example) and it all comes down to: cover your food in aluminum foil to keep moisture from evaporating.

😡

That’s 5 minutes I will never get back.

~One article went so far as to suggest using broom handles or sticks. That one was kinda funny. 😂~

The so called "Chav" uniform - tracksuits, gold chains, caps and trainers, is literally just the standard uniform of British working class lads, so it's not even subtle..chav is a slur, not a subculture. The idea it is a subculture was a media fabrication.

Some restaurants have banned "sportswear" which also happens to specifically ban baseball caps, tracksuits, as well as certain brands of trainers. It's essentially a "working class lads are not welcome here" sign.

Britain has a huge classism problem.

Next year would be my last year as a teenager. I feel sad that I did not have any experience in my life that makes my teenage life worthy. I got more depressed, more lonely. I knew some things but I lack the ability to prove them and remembering them exactly. I heard a lot of things but cannot identify which to trust. I have no friends. I have no money. Living with my shitty parents. Some years ago, I embraced my LGBTQ+ identity and also my atheist identity but I hide all of this in real life. I have some political stances that makes me left out in many online spaces too. I am confused, sad, alone, always having fire in me along with contradictory thoughts like I wanna be beautiful but why does it matter. I wanna be famous but why does it matter. If I don't pursue them, it feels like I am killing some part of myself. I feel I have something to speak but amount of silence I have caused me a low voice and can't even speak clearly in real life. I feel like I am special but moment I try to implement something, I feel like I am not. From many years, my problem has been same. I have been seeking something but I don't know what and also fearing from achieving that. I don't know myself or maybe I know but run away from it. There is a plethora of feelings I have that makes me overwhelmed and sad. I hear answers, tryna implement them, after some time, I still get same condition. It seems that either I started to like what I used to hate or maybe something else is the problem.

The future is bright

Sorry for linking to Krone.at, which is a running joke in Austria regarding their quality, but i couldn't find an english language source anywhere else.

And it's only mildly infuriating if you are a well-tempered person - i personally find it outrageous. His main argument is that child rearing is no business case. Maybe we should make it one.

After staring at the tiles for 30 seconds I found the pattern (4 aligned rows followed by an offset row), but.. why the hell would you lay these out like that? It looks so jumbled.

My knee heard that I turn 30 this year

Nevada Governor: So I know the pastor spoke about Officer Abdelnabi--

People: Boooooo

Nevada Governor: No. We're not booing. He's the officer that passed away here recently

Today my mail got hacked, where they had access for 30 min before I did the security changes. It was an old mail which I do not use often.

I know, that was my mistake for letting the mail get hacked. I rarely use it.

I was supposed to get a recovery link, but did not. I tried to register with my mail for Discord Support, but could not.

The hackers exploited the weaknesses of their hopeless bureaucratic of their system, by blocking everything from Discord before going into my Discord to change the mail.

Now that I finally have understood the attack, Discord won't suddenly answer me and help me. I am following their bullshit protocol while the hackers have the access of my account right now.

I think even Temu has a better support system than Discord.

The last answer I got from them: Thanks for letting us know you've secured your email account. Since this situation needs a closer look, I've passed your request along to someone who handles these cases. They'll review your issue in detail and follow up with you as soon as possible with next steps.

Best,

Discord Customer Support

How are you supposed to know if you'll like a book if you can't read some of it.

It had a nice little cafe too, its not like they won't make money on people buying a few coffees and snacks as they read a book they might not buy.

Frustrating "side quest" that often happens with new tech.

I bought a Logitech wireless keyboard. K650 Signature. I was like, surely it's just plug and play right?

It doesn't work.

Ok, let's check the instructions. Instructions: "Just plug and play." Ok, let's watch the YouTube video. YouTube video: "Just plug and play, idiot." Ok, let's read the whole support article. Nothing useful.

Getting desperate now.

• Let's check forums. Nope, nothing helpful.
• Dig out battery tester. Battery's fine.
• Try new batteries, just in case. Still fucked.
• Take out the batteries, and wait for capacitors to flush. Did nothing.
• Try it on an old Windows laptop (I use Linux). Nada.
• Smack it a little. Fuckin piece of shit. But not too hard, in case I return it. Made me feel better.
• Search every nook and cranny of the device for a secret on switch. Can't see anything.
• Check instructions again. Nothing.
• REALLY scrutinise the diagram of all keys and buttons, for a secret on switch. Nothing. The instructions literally just say, the connection light should turn on after removing the battery tag.

Ok, fine. It's faulty. Start the return process. I hate return processes, they're exhausting due to my health.

My dad walks in and sees me slumped listlessly on the couch.

Dad: "Nice keyboard."

Me: "Piece of shit is faulty. Won't turn on."

Dad: "Let me check."

Me: "No, I just packed it up nicely."

Dad starts unpacking it anyway as I protest. He immediately finds the goddamn SECRET ON SWITCH which is black on black, and tiny, I didn't see it. I fucking knew it, there was an on switch. URGH. Apparently he's had this exact keyboard before.

Cancel the refund…

If anything, I'm more annoyed that it's working now.

Why didn't any of the instructions mention the secret off switch? Why isn't it in the device diagram at least?
