That reminds me of the Action Lab video on a 4D ball.

I’m sorry to say I tried this and it worked.

I also got a person to leave by writing VY Canis Majoris. I’m not sure how they interpreted that.

Strangely, I got my letter saying my “postal vote forms will arrive soon” two days after I received the postal vote forms. I got confused for a moment there!

Props to Ranty, too.

Most of the big names in the flerf community are grifters, for sure. But many of the people who follow them are genuine believers. I have a relative who’s a die-hard flerfer.

Sheeps and Neeps was a small time flerfer who literally died because his conspiracy theory beliefs about cancer treatment, and there was that guy who went up in a rocket and came down in pieces. So some of them really do believe it. In my relative’s case, he went through a lot of trauma, flerfers give him a sense of belonging and something to hold onto.

Not shopped, unless NYP did it themselves.

Give me the Necropolis, or give me death!

Hey, that’s my family history! How did you get that?

Getting a workplace unionised is an uphill battle here too. Unless your company already has an officially recognised union, no one wants to join. I tell them it’s £9.65 a month and they’re like, yeah forget it.

What bothers me about where I work is as a bike technician, we actually have the same job title and pay as the till staff who do no skilled work at all. And on top of that, we also have to cover for them (for instance, even though I work in the bike section, I was forced to do car seat training even though the auto section till staff should be the ones doing it). So we’re doing skilled work, plus their work and we get the same pay. But no one is interested. They’ll grumble and groan, but actually doing something about it is too much to ask.

I’ve only just got a computer that can play games from 2005 onwards (no kidding my netbook could handle sims 2 at the most). I’ve also started playing Witcher 3 (got the complete collection for £8) and just bought a controller the other day. I don’t care about fancy cutting edge graphics; good storyline and gaming experience is what matters.

Why are union subs so high in the US? As a part time worker I pay under a tenner a month, but even as a full time worker, I’d be paying £16.

Yeah, depersonalization is common in us schizoids.

It’s common for schizoids, for example. Personally, I’ve noticed that it’s more likely to happen the more social contact I’ve had. Generally I feel a disconnect with my reflection and if I need to look in the mirror when getting dressed or doing my hair I just avoid eye contact. .

At work, if I catch my reflection in a shiny bolt or something while I’m working on a bike, I flinch and have to look away, it makes me feel so uncomfortable.

I also get that floating feeling when having to talk to customers, like it’s not me and I’m observing someone else from a distance.

It’s fun asking kids, if 100 is knowing everything and zero is knowing nothing, how much do you know? And they’ll answer something like 80 or 90.

Then you ask them how many words they know in the dictionary. Then you ask how many words they know in other languages. And then they realise they don’t know much at all and agree the answer is something more like 0.0000000000001. (needs more zeros)

Michael Fabricant is feeling left out.

Did that, computer temporarily died.

Power button has rescue rights. I had to use the power button after Windows forced an update on Friday and my tower just sat there powered on but doing nothing for an hour, no signal to the monitor. Now I feel bad, it was probably just high on drugs.

Linux mint, I just type sudo apt update and I’m done.

Is it? I’ve not knowingly consumed anything from Nestlé in 20 years.

Edit: I have a bland palate and having a dairy allergy helps. I’m also incredibly stubborn!

I met Monica Lewinsky in London once. I didn’t recognise her until she paid with a card without a signature and I had to ask for photo ID and I was like ohhhhhhhh.
