I love horror films with terrifying vengeful spirits. I get sad when someone kills a harmless spider. I love running around the wasteland of Fallout games and blasting the baddies. I cried when a bird flew into the glass of my bedroom window and died.
Exactly. I wouldn’t be working in some office job; I’d be volunteering my time to give back to the community, keep me active, and maybe make some friends. All part of keeping from becoming a weird hermit, which is my natural instinct.
We draw stock internationally via FedEx, with usually at least one shipment arriving per day.
If I have a particularly urgent order for my customer, I will of course be tracking the incoming shipment.
Every. Damn. Time. I visit their website, I get halted in my usual manic pace by their stupid, slow to load pop up. I haven’t even been able to figure out how to block it, and usually don’t have time when I’m working to figure these things out.
Our company gives you so much money, FedEx - why do you have to be so difficult to work with as thanks?!

Get yourself a guy who looks like Aragorn but cooks like Samwise. 😍
They’ve both got heart.
I’ve seen some very small statured people working in big chains here. I don’t think Maccas and their ilk would be taking the risk of illegally employing children, at least not in countries like Australia.
Also, if this is a young child, is it not a bit wrong to be sharing their image around like this?..
I have taken up cross stitching and can spend an entire day just sitting and working on a one.
I want to watch ALL THE TV SHOWS AND MOVIES before I die (well the ones that interest me), but my hands get bored so usually I’ll play Switch games but then I’m often not really paying a lot of attention to either thing.
With cross stitching, I can get focused if it’s a difficult part or I’ve made a mistake, but mostly I can follow the plot of the show/film much better.
Plus I get a lovely physical “trophy” at the end, and have given a few as gifts.
My understanding is that the words and phrasing, and the overall scam, are a filter for idiots. Only the dumbest need apply.
The issue is the 4/20 (blaze it).
It also seems fake.
I know it’s not really that important but when I can’t sleep, or when I wake up at 3am, it’s all I can think of.
What do you call that?
Yep. Basically any position where you’re in some sort of service to the community.
It really gives you perspective.
Also PTSD.
I’ve said this, except you have a choice:
You can do retail, hospitality, or health services (eg cleaning hospitals, very basic patient support, anything that requires minimal training and won’t do harm to any patient in their care).
I am a Service rep and my mum was a nurse, so we’ve both seen a lot of the worst of humanity. I think people need to extend more empathy to nurses and other medical staff - I understand for many patients, it’s a horrible, scary situation, but these people are (generally) there to help and have to deal with a lot of awful stuff every single day.
More patience and empathy in general would make for a much better society.
He was fantastic in Righteous Gemstones.

I’m living with my grandmother in law and she’s just very fussy. Sometimes we think, I’d rather just pay rent somewhere, but we love her and she’s unwell and we’re saving money so we’re all looking after each other for now and trying not to sweat the small stuff like hanging a television when we don’t really need to.
I honestly haven’t even asked, but I know what the answer will be - can’t even leave the toaster that I use daily on the bench, has to go away once cooled. Getting to leave my coffee machine out was a bloody battle.
Her house, we live here for free and just pay our share of utilities and do our own groceries, and I help her if she is having a bad health day etc. It’s fine. It’s (mostly) worth the frustration.
I’m more annoyed with the limitations that renters experience in general - it’s the landlord’s property, but it’s the renter’s home, and sometimes it feels like we’re never really allowed to make any place our own, what with all the rules and regulations and punishments.
ETA: "won’t have a bar of… ", ie she won’t accept that sort of thing.
I’d actually love to wall mount but as a renter, not possible.
Currently living with elderly family and she also won’t have a bar of a wall mount.
I used to work for their brand in my country, and I would have to repackage and shrink wrap the game & booklets when we received new stock.
So yes, it is open but still new (assuming the store manager is honest).
I still didn’t like the idea of doing this to games, but there weren’t many jobs in my town and it sure beat working checkouts…
I got rolled into our floor rug as a kid, we were messing around and I thought it would be funny. It was not and a panic attack was had.
I’m at the point where I prefer to rewatch shows or movies, and reread books, rather than try something new. The closest I can think to describe it is like slipping into a warm bath. Very cosy.
Lately, I’ve been working though my film library picking a film from each letter of the alphabet. It encourages me to watch something new, or at least something I may not have seen in the last decade - because it could be a while before I loop back around, so I don’t want to throw away the letter!
My issue is at work, “I’ll just do this one more thing”, and then instead of my usual 2pm lunch, it’s now suddenly 3pm which even for me is crazy late…
I’m an Aussie, and a biscuit is a biscuit, plus I love Britcoms, yet I’ve never heard the term!
I love it, though.
