I have an itchy pimple and I have a bandage over it, so I don't play with it.

Her name is Booka, and she looks like Katsuki from Clannad:

One of the USB ports on my PC just died. It was one of the front ones, and the one next to it has been dead for ages. Now I only have 4 USB ports on the back but the problem is that there are cases where I need 5 things plugged in. When I am playing Elite Dangerous for example I need my keyboard, mouse, joystick, microphone, and headphones which I need 5 USB ports for.

Anyway, I just ordered an expansion card with 7 USB ports which will bring my total to 11. I will probably never have this problem again after this, I could have everything plugged in at once including the aforementioned stuff as well as my webcam, GameCube controller adapter, 3D printer, and Xbox controller all at once with USB ports to spare. I just need to make by with 4 of them for the next 3-7 business days.

we are buried to our eyeballs in doom and gloom fearmongering about global warming, and i'd like to see it stop.

if you want people to care about climate change, one of the worst ways to go about it is to constantly spout off language such as "worse than previously thought", "irreversible", "urgent", "disastrous", anything alluding to the generally screwed nature of today's young people, or anything like that. threat based rhetoric.

being constantly bathed in the negativity causes people to become fatalistic and apathetic, lose interest in the message, which is the last thing we need, if it really needs to be said. why not focus on what people can do do better the situation instead?

can i go one day without hearing or seeing anything which doesn't imply that i'll have to clean after the messes created by my forebears? please?

Quote:
First, like any stimulus, individuals are likely to become desensitized to the message. The public have a limited carrying capacity and finite pool of worry, especially when confronted as is the case today with extreme and immediate economic threats and risks.

Second, dramatizing climate change in terms of the most extreme impacts and using exaggerated imagery also risks damaging trust in the messenger, whether it be environmentalists, scientists, political leaders or the media.

Third, and perhaps most importantly, when individuals are confronted with messages that present risks which are perceived beyond their control to manage—and they are given little information about what can be done—they cope psychologically with that risk by engaging in self-denial (i.e. “Other people will get cancer, but I won’t” or “climate change is not real” or “the impacts of climate change won’t affect me.”) Or they cope with the risk by becoming fatalistic and apathetic, believing that there is nothing to be done about a risk such as climate change.

he wasn't always that way, i'm sure.


It's all the code nudging the English slowly out of my brain.

I had unintentionally ending up startling people on daily basis. Unintentionally, I get about no less than 2 victims without trying. :lol:
Don't get me started if I choose to intentionally do it. :twisted: While it's really funny while it lasts, frequent victims are guaranteed to get pissed after being startled by the same person for more than 3 times a week. Less than that if they mean it.

Hey, I actually understood him! Somebody write this down! :mrgreen: :lol:

I think part of this is because I'm bad with sarcasm, certain types of humor, and idioms. QuillAlba remains an enigma to me. :jester:

it had been years since i had seen a saab 900 in the wild, nearly forgot what they looked like if it weren't for pictures.

i browsed a 4chan thread about old cars oen never sees anymore, and the 1t gen saab 900 was on there.

fast forward a few hours, and i'm walking downtown out of sheer boredom after i decided to escape the house. i see a white saab 900 turbo, 16 valve, 3 door hatchback parked on the street. the passenger door is beat up and overall it's quite dirty, with stuff cluttering the inside. aaaaaaand a dog in the passenger seat. and the owner inside...


...shoot. :(

If it weren't for my young friend's presence and involvement, I would've been outright pissed instead of just unhappy for remembering something sad...
