The Testingtard's Lament: Boo-Hoo-in' Revolution

[adr-admin]

yea i telecommute so need to have the idiotwebs

[xon]

the fucking cable company is charging me a $40 fee to move!

god damn it. i wish i could ditch them but then w0rk would be screwed up

ADSL relocation fees in Australia are anywhere between 50-100 dollars AUD, with a $300 charge if a new line needs to be provisioned at the new location.

[Darth Fanboy]

Most of your continent is undeveloped no mans land of varying types of death and destruction.

In America we are supposed to have freedom.

[Losonti Tokash]

we have so much freedom we have freedom from freedom

[Darth Fanboy]

Is that technically meta?

[Questor]

I'm pretty sure that was the intended plot of Avengers...

Which means that the writers are lurking here. In the future!

Quick, tell them what we want!

[adr-admin]

what bothers me with this fee is that there's very little real work to be done

both locations are already wired

i'm moving the equipment myself


so all that needs to be done is for the cable guy to flip the switch in the box outside at both locations

(or whatever they do when they turn it on/off but i know they don't have to go inside for it)

and then for the phone rep to punch the new address into the computer to update the bill



so it is very little actual work making the fee seem excessive




perhaps if they have a flat fee it'd be ok cuz then it'd like subsidize running cable out to new locations

but idk

First world problems, Adr?

[Flagg]

Got my vaporizer. It's pretty rad.

[adr-admin]

First world problems, Adr?

more like whole world problems

capitalism is the root cause of these fees

as well as like every other problem in the world


DEATH TO CAPITALISM

[The Spartan]

Time to brace myself for the gnashing of teeth from all and sundry. OHNOES UHR HELFCAR ROOONED!

so it is very little actual work making the fee seem excessive

Hey, at least the practice of being charged hundred of dollars per month for email has basicly gone away.

[Losonti Tokash]

wednesday: go to gym and work out for an hour
thursday: rest day, left arm is a bit stiff but no biggie
friday: holy fuck my entire upper body is so fucked i cannot open the advil bottle without horrible pain

[Agent Bert Macklin]

Epidural time. Yeah!

[Karza]

4-week summer vacation starts right about now.

In fact, this my very first paid vacation ever. Feels amazing.

[Karza]

Young. All my previous jobs have been temporary stuff (summerjobs and whatnot), where the few vacation days you accumulate are just paid away once the job is over.

[Phantasee]

Which is the preferred method?

[Karza]

In permanent full-time jobs most people prefer to take the time off from work. I don't think taking them as money is common anywhere outside of temp agencies and such.

[Dooey Jo]

oh man reading hermeticist texts and accidentally listening to silent hill music before bed; bad idea?

or best idea?


aight so apparently ghosts live in memories, which are not in fact simply stored neural synapses blubbediblah but access points to some diffuse past-time plane of existence and shit. so the ghosts live there and they can influence the present world. in order to defeat them one must get to that plane, which is most easily done through the access points of memories during lucid dreaming. but beware, for it must be done at a place where you are confident and feel safe because if you lose lucidity

the ghost can defeat you and then you would be fucked

somehow

also it is important not to mess too much with that plane because you will affect the memories of everyone including yourself

too bad the dream didn't tell how to actually "defeat" a ghost, which is just a person there, and instead sent me to bed-cover-stealing nightmare land

seriously what is these monsters' interest with my covers

but i must assume the defeating of ghosts involve making sure they die a "nice" death or something, to change their memories of their own death

Noosphere

[Losonti Tokash]

Today I got to pick between either watching the cat I've had since I was 9 years old starve to death or give him some peace while I held him. Buried him under the deck in my mom's back yard.

[Darth Fanboy]

Sorry Los.

A similar situation befell me not long ago with my 19 year old cat, and for what its worth I'm sure the little one felt better with you there.

[Zod]

It's almost watchable, but that's what I get for trying to take a video on a bike using a camera that wasn't really made for video with no stabilization system at all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZG0KwdQOr8

[uraniun235]

riding on the sidewalk

shameful

[Oxymoron]

Fuck you, I'm not going to ride my bike on the road. I'm too pretty to die.
