For some reason Facebook went through a phase where it thought I wanted to meet single Mormon women.  O.o 




OT: I hate when a track from one of my YouTube playlists gets deleted and I either can't work out what it was or find a replacement.

I changed my mind on getting a smartphone with my saved up money. Now I want to get a new CPU and motherboard for my desktop, since the original "meh-tier" components are really showing their age. Seemed simple enough at first... then I found out I'll need to replace the cooling fan because it's too weak, and buy DDR4 RAM, *and* potentially a new power supply because I may need more wattage. I don't think I have enough money for it all.

The cartoon community is honestly one of the most vile cesspools when it comes to communities and randoms.
They spend half the time bitching about each other and how someone hurt their feelings cus 'muh opinions'
and the hypocrisy... Holy shit, guys. Talk about cartoons. Not about eachother

One of my neighbours has a really shitty taste in music and have apparently also not quite figured out how volume controls or headphones work.
He lives in the apartment opposite of mine but I can hear the sounds so well it's almost as if he just were in another room.
Annoying.

Buy one of those...

May help your neighbour neighbour realise that he's got a few too.

Or if you want to do it the responsible adult way, can't you just go to the landlord, or whatever it's called, and complain to him? Usually the things about apartement building is that you're not really allowed to play music, after a scertain time, such that your neighbours can hear it, right?





@Ek

For the reason of part compatibility, I usually reccomend using old PC's for as long as possible, and getting an entirely new PC in one go, Unless you're talking about universal parts such as RAM cards, and PSU's. (provided that they have a higher wattage)

But I don't really know that much about computers.

I'd rather build a good PC than buy a low-tier prebuilt for the same amount of money. A better quality thing will last longer.

Normally I do like to keep old tech as long as possible, but my desktop lags when drawing in art programs/image editors, and can barely handle a game with performance-intensive settings set to low/off, despite the same game working perfectly fine in the past (and the game itself was recently optimized to work better on low-tier computers). That's how I know I need an upgrade. Plus there's projects I want to work on that need the power.

I hate that skyrim is the only elder scrolls game (least main series) that gets any love from bethesda anymore. Skyrim has been re released, remastered, re special editioned, re collector's editioned, and milked almost as much as the first resident evil at this point. I love Skyrim, I really do, but I wish that bethesda would send a little love to other games in the series.


While skyrim might be better in most regards, my favorite elder scrolls is still oblivion and I would gladly pay for an updated (if only slightly cuz bethesda is SO lazy!) version on modern consoles with mod support like skyrim and fallout 4 has. Even at full retail price, which is a bit much considering the game's age but hey, they did that with the last two re-releases of elder scrolls 5 (PS4, XBONE, SWITCH) 


Also, while I'm here... F#$k EA!

The number of spiders in here has suddenly skyrocketed.
There are currently four of them sitting around in plain sight.
This far they haven't broken our agreement, but I can't help but suspect they're planning something.

Are you [REDACTED] kidding!? Ofcourse they're planning something!!

You've said you have a messy home, don't clean often, don't wash used dishes and cutlery and now above all that you've made a truce with spiders living in your home, so now you're not hunting them down?

You've pretty much created the perfect habitat for them!

The only thing that I spider could want more than that, is maybe food, as I'm not shure if spiders can/will eat food rests from unwashed dished. But, don't worry, I'm shure they'll figure something out for that!


So, hell yeah, they're planning something! They're gonna have babies! :P

Mommy spider is undoubtedly making a little nest somewhere in your warm and cozy cave, and within no time, you'll have a huge bunch of cute tiny little baby spiders running around!
Shure, they're going to be friendly to you, as you've been soo kind as to give them shelter, as well as not hunt them down, and as creature that is capable of killing them, pretty much effortlessly.

But, I'm a little confused tho, I thought you said you wanted to be a crazy cat-lady, when you got older, and not future SCP-2269? :\






Ok, all kidding and somewhat (non ill-tempered) cynical scare aside, though...

Maybe it's better if you start doing something about this now rather than later, as I'm shure that you don't actually appreciate having spiders in your home?

Like, try getting any and all spiders you see straight out the door.
Don't kill them! That makes food for other spiders and spider-food do eat and thrive on. Just gently pick them up with a dustpan, (wear heavy gloves if they really freak you out) and put them outside.

Whilst there are no spiders to take outside, you might want to tidy up the place to make shure that there aren't any nests, or webs anywhere. If you've found a nest, just whip out vacuum cleaner and get rid of it. (You don't have to worry about your vacuum cleaner becoming a spider-spawning device, that's not gonna happen)

And, if you really want to keep the spiders out, you should remove any of their food sources, or even their food's food sources, like unwashed dishes, and stuff like that.

Plenty of internet guides for it, too...


And, again, if you really don't want your home to be a spider haven, you should start working on it sooner, rather than later.

I've heard "Rentokill" doesn't come cheap...

:/

Somehow I got a 4.0 on all my extended responses for my English finals but less like 68 percent on the multiple choice? What the crap?

I half-mindedly threw on a random shirt and eventually realized I completely forgot to wash it in the laundry a couple days ago. I am annoyed.

I've gone through at least eight micro usb cords this year or more. I wish I could find an actual reliable cord that's not going to break within a month or two's time.

If you click on the signature image in your imgur "images" page (first selection on the list when you hover the cursor over your name on the top right), you should get a pop-up with various links you can copy. Copy the link under "Direct Link", then paste it into your signature between " [ img ] [ / img ]" (without the spaces)

I can do a screenshot if I didn't explain well enough.
