It's... fun now though, like a hacking video game. 10 years ago it would be 'outdated design' but today everything is ultra convenient no brain clicking, so the act of typing a tag is amusement
I remember one forum (the old WotC ones?) where you could actually get bold and italics by pressing CTRL + B or I. Or maybe that was a browser thing. Back then, I would have been using IE.

Cuz apparently I gotta break this down for you dense motherfuckers- I'm trans feminine nonbinary. My pronouns are they/them.

I was going to post something similar, but with the word "permanently" added. I ended up sleeping in my car overnight, but now the screaming and calling me worthless is only in my head.

My apartment has, once again, claimed to have not gotten my rent check, waited a few weeks to let me know, and is demanding a new check with late fees. So I get to call the bank again, let them know, and see if they'll threaten the apartment with fraud charges, again, to get them to fuck off with this shit.
I'd move, but 1) that's expensive 2) there are like 2 companies who own all rental properties, so they're exactly the same.
Also, this is my not drinking week this month, so...
Edit: and I just got an email from my parents. Emails have previews now, so I can see it started off with an apology. Also, I've known them my entire life, so I know that apology ends with "but..." and then it's my fault. Saved me the time reading it before I deleted it.

I'm starting to think my closest friend in real life only wanted me for sex and not for any actual friend activities.
Personally, I don't get it. I have not aged well at all, everything on me is saggy and gross, plus my junk does not work like it used to (yeah, I know no one wants to hear about my penis. Piss off, I'm sad).
She had said that she has not been feeling well. Which I get, I had a complete breakdown about this time last year that culminated in a stay at the loony bin while my mother and GF complained about how lazy I was (Never mind I kept saying "I don't know what to do, please help". Nope, just laziness). Trust me, I understand. Until she let it slip that she had a big New year's party and didn't invite me. I was drinking a bottle of champagne alone and playing unmodded Skyrim (better than last year's mental breakdown but not by much).
I'd think it was a coincidence, but it's been two years since we hung out and didn't just have sex. I know, to some people that doesn't sound like a problem. But I just don't have any friends irl, and I feel like I lost the only one I had.

I am 100% sure that everyone else in this thread has (or at least has had) body issues, including with their genitals, so I'd not worry about surprising or shocking anyone.Count Arioch the 28th wrote:I have not aged well at all, everything on me is saggy and gross, plus my junk does not work like it used to (yeah, I know no one wants to hear about my penis.

We have 60 minutes of break at work.
And those idiots are campaigning TO MAKE THAT 30 MINUTES!!
What the hell went wrong with that generation damn it?

Is it so they can leave 30 minutes earlier? I can understand wanting fewer/shorter breaks if you get to end your shift earlier.Stahlseele wrote:i do not get todays youth . . .

When I had the option of a 1 hour lunch or a 30 minute lunch (8 hours 'on the clock' either way), I always took 30.

Edit:
I got to talk to HR about the job I interviewed for (not even a promotion, just a side move that gets me out of this toxic office into a less bad one).
We are scored entirely on how we answer questions, not our knowledge (at least one of my coworkers who is interviewing complained the technical knowledge test to do the basic-ass portions of the job were too much). The most useful piece of advice I got was an off-the-record suggestion to google behavioural-based interviewing, which is, I assume, where they pulled the questions from. When I was asked what I had prepared for, because I was not at all prepared for the questions they did ask, I told them that 1) it's a customer-facing job, so I prepared for customer-related questions, 2) it's a plan review job, so I prepared for questions related to my plan review experience, and 3) it's a technical job, so questions about my technical abilities. The HR person had a look at least once like they had not even considered those as possibilities. I've had minimum-wage jobs where they asked about a time you dealt with a difficult customer. They did kind of touch on technical abilities, because the first 2 questions out of 11 were (and always will be) "the minimum education and experience requirements are X, how do you meet those" and "the preferred education and experience for this job is X..." (I received a 3 out of 5 from everyone except HR, who always gave me 1 point less for all questions). I was also marked down for referring to groups as "we" instead of "I". That does explain why the people who do nothing but take credit for other people's work are the ones getting promoted. I was also told to not just answer the questions, but to try to figure out what they're actually looking for, because that's easier than teaching an HR drone to write questions in English.
Actual useful notes for myself were "answer statements as well as questions", "make sure to go back and make sure I answered every part of every sub-question", and "add more detail about how and why". Because each question is a paragraph of both questions and statements leading towards an answer that contains enough detail that people who don't know what we do can decide if I know what we do.
It's incredibly demotivating to go through this for a job that I was supposed to be doing a year ago, especially when I have to interview a second time. But at least I learned interviewing skills (which are always bullshit) that will be useful for the next job I try to get.

Having looked at some electrical engineering stuff, the magic fairies thing makes more sense than the way they actually work. Not that I can remember any engineering after 15 years of not using that knowledge.

So... My son took the Political Compass test for the first time today. I had to explain a couple of concepts to him, but I was actually impressed with his level of knowledge about stuff (not that I don't talk to him about it, but there are things we haven't gone in-depth about). Result: Very deep green square.
My son makes me laugh. Maybe he'll make you laugh, too.

@Stahlseele:
You need to do a tax declaration.
Here's a somewhat recent thread from somebody in Germany with a similar problem: https://forum.elster.de/anwenderforum/f ... ur%C3%BCck

N'CHA EVERYONE!
So, did anyone miss me? No? Good. Of course not.
I'm back. I'm alive. I was GOING THOUGH SOME THINGS and LOST MY SHIT. Just a little bit. Nothing a little overnight trip to the ER couldn't solve, though! Lemme tell ya, a little R&R in the psych ward has a wonderful way of refreshing the mind. Ha ha. Ha.
Anyway, clean bill of mental health, a little suicidal ideation, a little mental breakdown, and we're. all. GOOD.
As long as we never have another holiday season* again, I should be fine.
