Ok, I got Hulu but I'm not the one paying for it...and I know the person that doesn't isn't paying THAT, so what am I missing here

They have this "live" thing that costs more. But it's not all live stuff, they put whatever they want under that label when it suits them. I'm guessing they decided to put it behind that extra paywall for Halloween but because everyone pays for multiple streaming services now, I watched it on Max instead.

Plus, I often have issues with Hulu anyways. It struggles to rewind anything and every so often my audio glitches. It'll get ridiculously loud and echoey or it'll get so quiet you can't hear anything. I have to reload my video and try to rewind. =/

I'm old and have become quite happy being a hermit. I am not going to be guilt tripped into a relationship....my priorities are.

Kids

Financial security 

Videogames/sleep

That's it ....nothing else matters. I will never grasp this concept of an adult needing another adult to validate their existence.

No one : 

My kitten : I think plush Happy Rainbow catnip toy is thirsty [ tosses it directly into her water bowl while I'm at work ]. 

[ Brought to you by the same kitten that decided Fuzzy Lionhead needed to be punished by leaving him in the middle of the hall to be stepped on for 3 mornings straight ]

I had live for a few months. It's essentially just basic cable. I think you can record for later, as well. Although advertising anything on live tv is kinda dumb since you have to wait for it to air on one of their channels to watch it.

For no fucking reason whatsoever, my new ass fucking computer stopped picking up audio from my mic.

I've tried multiple mics with different connection types and different ports, restarting, reinstalling drivers, checking privacy (doesn't have the fucking option in settings, so I have to try Safe Mode, and the bullshit motherfucking pile of shit window closes as soon as I click into the microphone privacy settings while in Safe Mode).

My class asks us to not do system restores or I'll potentially have to reformat the whole fucking computer.

I'm arguing with people over whether or not a translation is inherently worse based solely on how faithful it is to the original.

I asked: if the translator is correcting a narrative plothole, one we are assuming to be a real error, would the corrected script be worse on the basis of a change when that change was objectively fixing an error?

They went on a rant about it never being a localizer's job to make that call (that's literally their job) without the author's consent, which I think is an absurd standard when applied to reality.

They ended their rant with a non-hypothetic in which they described a fictitious scenario to highlight their point....

I'm not saying the people who run NASCAR are stupid, I'm just pointing out that they are in a lawsuit that can be partially described as "They were not expecting Michael Jordan to be this difficult of a competitor"

[ Potato Bug Rant ]

I want to go outside. I was told I could go outside. I put on the harness and we went outside. I like the outside. :) 

I found a bug. It was a very angry bug. It bit me twice, mommy screamed, grabbed me, took me inside and stuck my arm in the sink. :| 

I am mad. I want to go back outside. But now mommy won't take me outside. She says I have to stay inside and be watched. I am mad. >:( 

[ translation - she found a wasp and doesn't seem to understand that no, we are not going back outside just because she still wants to ]

Isn't this a bitch, its starting to get cold and the heat hasn't been turned on for the season so I asked the heating and cooling guy when will it be turned on and he told me Saturday. He didn't show up on Saturday or Sunday. He shows up this morning and some dumb fuck who has no business closing and locking doors in the building closed the door to basement and now he can't get inside to turn the heat on 🤦🏽‍♂️

I blinked. 

Within that blink, little miss 'yes, more diarrhea please' figured out how to open a tucked shut pizza box and start slurping up cheese and pepperoni greases. 

I order delivery pizza like twice a year maybe. Get a job, freeloader.

Swear I'm putting her bean pics up on OnlyFans. :|

Man in front of me at Dollar General: "I GUESS MY CARD'S BEEN COMPROMISED AND THE BANK DIDN'T TELL ME AGAIN SO I GUESS I HAVE TO GO TALK TO THEM AGAIN"

Me and everyone else in the vicinity, including the cashier: [thinking] "sir we don't need to know any of this"

Feeling kind of sick, realized I hadn't really eaten anything since breakfast, got some food.

First bite, feel a bit of metal.

The temp crown I got this Monday just fell off. I can't get in until next Monday afternoon. 

I just wanted something to frickin' eat. -.-;

I recently applied for 5 different part-time cashier jobs at 5 different Kroger’s in my city. One of them emailed me this morning saying I could contact their recruiter to schedule an interview. The link they provided to do that is broken. Also, the email didn’t say exactly what store location this was.

With a little digging, I was able to find that part out. But I still can’t contact them and I don’t even have a viable way to and from work if they do hire me.

Is this what a panic attack feels like?

I've got TMJ and it's bad. It's been bad for 4+ years. It's a daily struggle and sometimes it gets so bad that I can't sleep because I'm locked up so tight. And yet neither my dental nor my medical insurance want to cover any potential treatment. How does anyone look at this fucked up system and say, "Yep, this is good"?

Broke another phone.

I used to go years without dropping a phone. I always thought people with cracked screens and body armor on their phones were just careless idiots....

But now I just get out of the truck with my phone on my lap and that's all she wrote. I really liked this one too.

Nothing like waking up to the sounds of the neighbors having sex :LithiumSmileyIndifferent:

Omg that reminds me of the time my upstairs neighbors were having sex at like 2 am. I've always struggled to fall asleep (and stay asleep) so my husband was conked out next to me while I was just laying there in the dark listening to two strangers bang it out.

......aaaaaaand of course my phone isn't in stock so they have to order it and now I'm stuck with this stuttering, sack gobbling piece of dog dick replacement phone until it comes in.

"We might get a ups today, we'll call you"

No you won't

If it's going to be like that then I shouldn't feel guilty about my music being too loud. I hope they like 90s alt rock and Christmas music

Two words - 'air horn'. 

Many many years ago, I had to deal with the type of upstairs neighbors who just had to jump up and down on their bed really really loudly. One night I was in the living room watching [ as ] while that noise was going on and [ as ] ran a bump with a really LOUD air horn moment. They fell off the bed mid-jump. And I never heard those noises again. So, air horn. Get one. Dollar tree has them and you only need one good blast to get the point across. :P :D

The kitten should be able to take off the onesie permanently Saturday but it feels like she has a little lump going on under there and now I'm worried that she's been able to do herself damage the last couple of times she managed to take it off herself and go crazy with the licking. But if I take it off to get a good look, she's going to run for it because she's stircrazy from not being able to really run and jump right now. -.-;

I hate that every job you interview for these days requires at minimum four rounds of interviews, and at maximum - there is no maximum. 

Just did nine rounds for one company. Then they broke up with me over a template email. Nine rounds.

I was happy to have a laptop again. It has done all since to strip away every last bit of joy and whimsy I could ever have for using one again. It only exists to be awful. It deliberately pisses you off and enjoys wasting any smidgen of your time.

Guess I will no longer be using it.... again. But since it’s rendered useless and I didn’t have to pay for it, I got no problem punching all these keys!

Goddamn Medicaid salespeople…

I was just outside walking my dog with an excruciating headache. I’m almost back in the house when this guy stops me. I gave as many short “leave me the fuck alone” answers as I could to his endless questions. He then proceeded to give me his card and a flyer.

Is it not enough that these people blow up my phone every single day? They have to show up at my house now, too? I will not be calling you, dude. I can’t stop you from harassing me but I can try to ignore you. I’m going back to bed now…..
