Vent thread

People with surnames ending with -shvili and -dze on social media are temporarily a menace to me now since after the Umar vs. Merab disaster.

For real. Especially since the rules on when or how you get to withdraw money keeps changing every time they issue a new card.

It’s one thing when I have to remember which ATM is in network or how many “free” withdrawals I get per donation once and only once. When I have to figure it out every year or 2, it gets annoying, especially since I still have to remember how my other non-plasma cards still work

Sheesh I think getting my teeth cleaned hurt more than when I got one pulled.

Maaaaaaaaaaang… Merab is really living in my head rent free rn…

Last night when I overheard that my brother was applying for a new higher paying job, I compared it to my situation and it made me feel VERY bad about myself, to the point where I didn’t get the feeling to go down to eat dinner and when I eventually did, I was gloomy as hell and had very low energy. I don’t know if this is what depression feels like, but it wasn’t great. Luckily, after I laid out my feelings to my mom earlier, I feel better now and she helped motivate me in trying again to apply for a new place. Still, I hope I can never experience what I felt last night ever again

It was below freezing yesterday, and I had to “work.” There’s no work to do. So, I stood around, doing mothing, which helped keep me from being warm.

My fingers were slightly blue from it.

@Zaknel
I feel your pain, I’m currently working in 30 degree F weather outside, I have 2 shirts and 2 jackets on and glovew borrowed from the frozen department just so my fingers won’t get frostbite

Weather forecast shows it’s supposed to get warmer going forward at least for the next full week. So, uh, silver lining is that the worst has already passed?

@Dustcan
Yup. Plus, we actually have work now to keep the blood flowing better! Yay!

Tomorrow going to be the same around the 30’s, looking forward to it…

I know the goal of a job interview is to market myself to the potential employer, but GOD FUCKING DAMMIT! Recruiters and hiring managers are the WORST FUCKING CUSTOMERS EVER, and they often end up hiring the worst possible people for the jobs they’re trying to fill because of this nepotistic bullshit they’re always engaging in!

And fuck Thomas Edison for inventing the modern job interview (look it up if you don’t believe me.) If there is a Hell, may that lightbulb invention stealing piece of shit burn there!

Most of Sonic 3 has been spoiled for me.

Fucking hate spoilers.

Now I am actually getting worried for our future…

@KolpSlack
Where have you been the past decade?

Unrelated subject:

This YouTuber has always struck me as being pretentious as fuck.

There were three separate juvenile riots here in my place in just a span of a week. Mostly in relation to gang war in schools.

Something’s going on with our education system…

Glad the worst of the cold is over, it was awful and worst part is that it rained, which exacerbated problems

@CaptainXtra
Lessons In Meme Culture? He’s okay

Bored as hell right now…

Great, I just found out that my car’s tie rod ends and lower ball joints are going bad. That’s like $1000-$1200 to fix, assuming that also involves fixing the entire control arms. There goes my emergency fund.

Shop around car stores. When I had to take mine in for repairs I got an estimate of like $1500. After a half week of calling around I was able to find a shop that would do the repairs for half that.

I shortly later learned my sister’s new boyfriend knew how to do some car repairs, so I just spent $300 for parts and he did the rest for free. So talk among your friends and family and see if any of them are mechanics and can do you a favor.

@Dustcan
What make and model is your car? And what was wrong with it?

2008 Chevy Equinox.

Brake system plus flex pipe.

Another teenage riot occured in front of the school near my house last night.

@Dustcan
If you just need to get by for a bit, a roll of Teflon exhaust heat tape and some stainless steel cable ties will serve as a pretty good wrap for the flex pipe for while. Quiets it right down and keeps most of the kill you fumes inside the pipe.

I ended up going with a patch pipe instead of a full new pipe. Been like…2 months(?) and it’s still working fine.

@Dustcan
Yeah. There’s lots of ways to kick that repair down the road.
