The General Thread

I realize today that I hate the south.
I came across some obese guy who was talking about how Christians need to support Israel and the Jews are the Chosens.
He then went on to complain about "liberals" and then revealed he receives federal disability due to his autism

That shit is up north too. At least, in Indiana.

The big cities (Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, South Bend, etc) have some share of that, but anywhere else, oh lord, get ready. I live in the most conservative county in the state and you wouldn't believe the churches up in this area. They're all these mega-church types, and it's pretty fucking annoying how these communities are (:powerlevel:been in them before:powerlevel:).

But, considering Pence is from here, what do you expect?

They think the apocalypse will come within a gen of Israel's establishment or something. And that was 70 years ago.
They're very desperate to make it happen.
A few more decades and this insane cuckery will hopefully be nothing more than an embarrassing memory.
Either that or they'll all die of diabeetus.
 
top lel, I just got a call from my mom saying our business got broken into by some kangz last night. Whole thing on camera. When they made it to the office, we had the security camera feeds up on one of the monitors. According to my mom, they freaked out when they saw it, unplugged the monitor (I guess in a hilarious attempt to delete the footage or something), grabbed a mug that had less than one dollar of loose change in it, and bolted out the window they had smashed in. I'm going to try to walk my mom through sending me the video, because that shit is hilarious :story:

It'll be amusing to see.
 
While on my way home today, I came across someone throwing out some stuff out of a garage to the curb of some things still in their boxes and cases. I took home a mini-sewing machine, a VHS camcorder from the 80's with a nice case and all the accessories like a light mikes and tripod, along with a few other odds and ends. Not bad if it all still works.

EDIT: Just plugged it in and it works! I got a nice picture through the viewfinder at least, hadn't tried the VCR part though I assume it still records.

I was watching the live Muppet show from the O2 on YT. While Steve Whitmire will always be the best post-Henson Kermit, I will admit that Matt Vogel does a surprisingly good job at sounding just like Jim when he sings. It's probably the one thing that he can do better than Steve. He just needs to work on his speaking voice more.

And I still think that Steve was fired for stupid reasons. All he did was say a few things about not being completely satisfied with the way that the franchise was being run. It's not like he was doing the kind of stuff that Kevin Clash was doing (I haven't really lost any respect for Kevin either, sex addiction can really bring people down and he still seems like a saint compared to Bill Cosby)
 
I really want to go to the Trump rally next Tuesday, but the earliest I could conceivably get there is 2:30, and the doors open at 3:30. Add trying to find parking and stuff, and I probably wouldn't be able to get in line until 3:00. Everything I've read says that they are expecting to let 5,000 to 6,000 people in on a first come, first serve basis, but that a sizable number of people will camp out and/or get there at the crack of dawn, and that it's likely I would be turned away if I showed up half an hour before the doors open. It's a two and a half hour drive one way, and that's a long ass drive to make on the back of a crap shoot. I would love to get there as early as possible, but I have a midterm that morning *sigh*

Should I:
  • Blow off the midterm and get there early to ensure I get in
  • Make the trip after the test and pray to God that I somehow get in
  • Give up like a faggot
 
A loaf of bread.

That is all.
 
A few months ago my sister found a small white dog wandering around. It had an address on its collar so she took it back to the house. Nobody was home. So she just put it in the yard and left a note. Last night I was coming home from Rite Aid and a small white dog starts walking towards me from across the street. It got a few feet from me and started barking. Then it turned around and started back to the other side. While a bus was coming down the street.

I tried to call the dog over hoping I could prevent it from being it. I was about to prepare for having to witness such a horrible thing but the driver stopped just in time and the dog just backed up and went around the back of the bus and across the street like nothing had happened. the driver asked me if that was my dog and I told him I had no idea whose dog it was.

So after the bus drove off I followed the dog. It ran up to the doorway of a house and the door slowly creaked open and the dog ran inside. It was pitch black inside. The whole house was completely dark. Now it was near midnight. But still, you'd think if they let the dog out they'd at least have some light on because there are so many raccoons, skunks and possums around here plus the occasional fox. I take my dog out in the yard with a flashlight at night. I wanted to say something about what happened. But the door shut so quickly. So there was nothing I could do.

I was so mad. I'm pretty sure this is the same dog my sister found months earlier. She said it was about a block from the shopping center. I bet these are not the only times that dog has gotten out. They need to watch their dog more closely or the next time it might not be so lucky. I don't know if there's a hole in the fence behind the hedges or it just scoots out the front door without anyone noticing. But if the dog is an escape artist then you need to be more careful so it will stay safe.

This reminds me of that white trash baby factory family with their hordes of cats and dogs that lives about a block down from that little white dog. They've got a german shepherd that wanders around the front of the house loose. She doesn't seem to wander but the street has buses running in both directions and who knows if she'll bite anyone? There's at least three other dogs in that house. Along with God knows how many cats. All their trash smells like cat pee every damn week. They seem to have a new cat every few months and the cat will disappear after awhile never to be seen again. It's never the same gaggle of cats. They have a high replacement rate.

One of their cats, Mabel, had been following me for a few months a couple of years ago. She was always begging for food so my sister was buying her cat food and putting it out. The cat was following me to the store. I thought about just taking her for myself because she was being neglected and it looked like she had picked me anyway. But she disappeared one day and I never saw her again.:(

I hope that some nice person picked her up and she didn't fall victim to anything bad.
 
Having a 404 pop up when I click on a link in a google search really grinds my gears. It is the one place where 404s have absolutely no business being.
There are tons of broken links that come up on google searches that I wish I could have taken down. And google actually has a feature to remove broken links, but get this...they will only remove links to pages that are actually hosted on google. There are tons of broken links that regularly appear when I make my usual searches to pages that I really want to see and dont want to look at if they're going to be broken.

Last month I tried to pay the gas bill over the phone. I called the generic main line and not the direct emergency line for gas leaks. When you call you are immediately asked to press 1 for English or 2 for Spanish. Then it's supposed to ask you what option you want, one of which is reporting gas leaks. This prompt never came up. Instead I pressed one for English and was immediately connected to the emergency line. The lady asks me what my emergency is and I tell her I was just trying to pay my gas bill. She tells me this is the emergency line. I tell her that I have no idea why I was connected to the emergency line and she starts getting snippy and tells me I pressed the wrong prompt. I try to tell her that the automated service is wonky and the prompt never came up but she keeps insisting I'm wrong.:roll:

Finally I hung up and tried again and got it to work. I had to get a live person to pay my bill because their stupid automated service wouldn't work right. I had a similar issue with the electric company the month before. The stupid automated bill pay voice started going crazy and stuttering like Max Headroom, forcing me to get a live operator so I could confirm that the payment actually went through.

I hate these stupid automated services. It was faster and easier to ask for a live operator.

Did you know that when you call a service and get automated prompts in many cases saying "live operator" even when it's not a prompt option will connect you to one? It's handy when you just want to talk to a real person and don't need to press 1, 2 and 3 over and over again for eternity.

I'm glad you know how I feel about automated everything, getting to talk with a real person is miles apart from dealing with a machine that could break down at a moment's notice.
