I’ll start. Booked a hotel next weekend via a big blue hotel booing site. Get a phone call today from the accomodation provider asking for payment. Told them to take it via the booking site. They say no, and I will lose my reservation. Booking site says pay the accomodation direct. Go on the accomodation site and I can’t book for the days I wanted. WTF arrrrrgh.

    The blight that is invasive fire ants.

    I thought a nice stroll outside would be good for me. Along the way I spotted some wild turkeys (before they spotted me) so I stopped to observe them. While standing there, I leaned up next to a sign post, and moments later my ankles were lighting up with fire ant stings. They were all over my shoes. I wasn’t even standing on their nest, apparently just close enough to annoy them.

    So fuck all the damned fire ants, they should go back to their own damn country where they belong.

    my daughter is in tears, she wanted to go to a bike event for months and it’s tomorrow. her mom promised she could go. however she isn’t allowed her to use her own bike for reasons. she thinks she’s punishing me by not letting me take them to a bike parade.

    I’m looking where to rent bikes.

  • When I tried to import all of my subscriptions from my old account into this one, I accidentally clicked export instead of import. Now it’s been saying “try import or export again in a few minutes” for the last few hours. This has happened to me before when I’ve tried exporting twice in one day. Apparently “a few minutes” equals 24 hours or something.

    And if someone tells me that this is a known bug from 2 years ago that has never been addressed, it’ll piss me off even more lol.

    The other day some guy was walking his dog outside in the city. The dog took a shit, and the guy just kept walking. I made eye contact but didn’t say anything. Just shook my head and kept walking.

    We were heading in the same direction and after a bit I got to my destination and stopped. He stopped a little ahead and let his dog take another shit. He looked back at me and said something like “you wanna pick this one up? Coward.”

    I don’t know but for that moment I was emotionally ready to murder him. He’s literally making the world a shittier place, and for nothing. I don’t want that kind of selfish shithead just walking around without consequences.

    Well, lucky for me I’m not armed and have impulse control. He was bigger than me and I don’t know how to fight. I yelled at him that he’s a shithead or something inarticulate, and he laughed and kept walking.

    Fuck that guy. I hope he gets hit my a truck and bleeds out in a shit filled ditch.

    maybe something I should talk with a therapist (if I could afford one).

    it’s my life long dream to get an RV, my ex kicked me out after more than a decade (as soon I finish paying for her medical school and we moved to where she wanted to practice and refused to allow me to get a greencard). so I’m now stuck in a country in not allowed to be, where they send people like me to slave camps in third world dictatorships, I can’t works, I pay alimony, I’m struggling to make it to the end of the month, drowning in bills.

    And she just bought an RV.
