What's Bothering You? (The thread about what is bothering you.)

Uber eats prices,

How can people afford this on top of $1.50 per dumpling ..

Delivery food prices are straight up out of control. Around where I live, it will cost you around $50 for a decent xl pizza delivery, fees included. Even the national chains with trash pizza, you are looking at around $30 for on lg pie.
In some cases I've seen delivery fees be nearly the same amount as the total on the food, example: $25 in delivery fees and taxes for a $40 meal.

Is this way truly better than the restaurants just having their own delivery service and drivers?

[fohat.digs]

I could probably count on one hand the number of times I have had food delivered in my lifetime.

But if I was stuck at home without reasonable transportation it would be a different story. For some reason I like to do everything in person, especially voting.

[noisyturtle]

Currently I regulate food delivery to 1-2x a month. I'll build it up too, daydream about Mexican food or pizza or something for weeks, which makes it so much more tasty and rewarding. Plus, ordering food is terrible for your health, since it is much more difficult to realize the amount of calories you are intaking when you order.
My roommate orders food like 3x a week, which is crazy to me.

Drone strikes near Zaporizhzhia.

I guess people just don't understand,  Zaporizhzhia is at least 20-30x Chernobyl worth of radiation. If they smoke this place.  THE ENTIRE EUROPE will be a nuclear waste dump.

WE DO NOT have the Technology to clean up nuclear diffusion of that magnitude.  You just live in it.  Lot's of still births, dead babies, thyroid cancers, leukemia-s and such.

Remember, Chernobyl + Fukushima are still ongoing events, they are not spoken of much, but we are not remotely close to cleaning up the situation.

This can't be right, 1 million US population not participating in the labor force due to long-covid?

Long covid affects 10-30% of COVID survivors. 

Thank god we can buy a 1X Neo next year.

Paraolympic coverage isn't as good.. Hmmff, able biased.

I've been fatigued and brain fogged for neigh on 15 years now, with consistent searing pain for the last 7, and you know what I do every day of my life I feel like I've a crushing hangover, can't produce a thought, and keep falling asleep? I do the same **** I do when I feel normal.  People just want an excuse not to work and be lazy. I hate calling sick people 'heroes' and acting like they are total invalids, when they are just as capable as everyone else. People lead these precious lives, then when they have a long-term hindrance that is askew from their normal they can't ****ing deal with life. Guess what? THAT IS YOUR NEW NORMAL, learn to adapt and deal with it. Stop acting like a victim.

[tp4tissue]

We are all victims and we are all perpetrators.

Humanity needs to pay extreme attention to its relationship with animals and the eco-sphere.

Imperialist ideology has its limits, and it will be the death of us.

Concord, seriously, who ok-ed the art direction on that game. The characters look awful.

All they'd have to do is redo the characters, and it actually looks like a pretty decent game. Pacing looks fun.

I got a brush hair in the last coat of polyurethane I put on the underside of the desk I am building. I won’t see it so I won’t fix it to stay on schedule. But it’s a flaw I will know exists but no one will ever see.

[fohat.digs]

First world problem. Learn to forget.

First world problem. Learn to forget.

I know. The desk is for my son for his room. I often dwell too much on the unimportant details, but I know I can do better, so I am disappointed to myself, but yeah microscopic problems for the first world indeed.

First they come for my emulated games, then they take my deepfake porn, and now this?!? I'mma go build my own Internet, with free speech and hookers and pirated everything! **** you government!

People who can listen to music, WHILE, reading.

How do you do this ?

[fohat.digs]

 listen to music

There are many kinds of music. Much (most?) of it demands your attention - sometimes to listen to and contemplate the words, and sometimes to listen closely to and appreciate the intricacies of the structure and changing relationships of the instruments playing.

But there is music that is specifically created to not require your attention, and it is not always tinkling yoga studio stuff.

At very low volumes, it seems possible, but at normal listen volumes, Tp4 can't concentrate on reading at all.

[fohat.digs]

can't concentrate on reading

I agree, of course. When I spend the time and concentration on something to read, I want comfort and silence so that I am not distracted and can absorb it all.

I listen to instrumental music. Lyrics obviously don't work.

I've met programmers who preferred to work to Beethoven. I used to like music with some BPM when coding.

Now I don't do that much programming. I feel that I have lost the edge and the will. (and that is a thing that bothers me)

[noisyturtle]

I almost exclusively listen to instrumental or foreign music I don't speak the language for, so it just makes some pleasant background noise.
90% of the time music with lyrics or singing annoys me. I tend to focus on the songwriting, and you'd be shocked how lazy and bad most songs with lyrics are written if you actually listen and analyze them. So lazy. So bad.
I do have a soft spot for '90s alt/grunge and early '00s rap though

[tp4tissue]

There's like, no computer stuff to buy. 

It's all the same stuff.

Swear to god, Black Cumin, smells exactly like color-pencil shavings.

These guys starting forest fires. Then getting arrested.

How did they even find that guy. Seems like the easiest thing ever to get away with.


Forest Arson is quite detrimental,  Imagine a whole city goes Solar,  well, a single forest fire would offset the carbon saving for 5-10+ years.

Readed this today,

..Standing with bad posture, is as bad for you as sitting..

On the surface, that could be true, although, hrrm.

Spinal alignment.

Crickr' got in the house.

Still can't find 'm,  it has been 2 days.

OMG, just found the lil' guy after 30 minute serach,  he's not the larger black ones, he's pretty smole, light brownish, very difficult to spot.   Higher pitch too, epic bothersome.

Every single construction crew has that one mother****er that constantly yells and whistles super loudly

We are the architects of our own prisons.

I don't get how they think whistling at a woman from across the street is going to ever work out for them. Has that ever worked in human history?

[fohat.digs]

whistling at a woman from across the street

That is not about attracting the woman. It is a "display" mostly for the benefit of his companions.

When you walk a bit closer to 4k, it looks kinda crappy.

Amplifier problem.

Not enuff power, it can push music fine at high db, but during calibration, because of the sustained sin peaks, it goes into overload.

Juice it with external capacitor bank?

Woke up at 7, couldn't fall back to sleep all day.

My left index finger is aching a little bit. Have I typed too much?

Guv'ment cancelled my unemployment, and says I need to pay them back thousands

Meanwhile I am literally relying on that money just to make it through each week and be able to afford food while I search for a job. Not even enough to cover my full rent as well.

Life never ceases to fail me when I need help most. Is this it? Will this be the final time I'm unable to make things right, just to barely get by?

Find out in about 3 weeks, when I'm either homeless and stop posting here for a while, or my life once again gets a magic temporary bandaid at the very last moment.

Ya know what I am most sick of in my life? Thinking things cannot possibly become worse, that all I need to do is work hard and make things right, and then somehow things do in fact get much worse. My life really is a big ****ing joke. I hope someone's laughing.

[tp4tissue]

They can charge you back for unemployment?

Also, NT, you might be renting in a too spensive neighborhood. Move out further away, and most jobs can sustain rent better.
