I definitely enjoyed that xD

I know i’m old, i just found a new hobby: messing woth the younger generation by messing with their slang.

You know, like how grandpa called every pokeman pikachu…but on purpose.

I haven’t left, convince me to.

I wanted a G8 monitor or the G9

The G9 is still €1799 and the G8 went from €888 to €840.

I’ll wait for an upgrade of either and see these drop to 2/3 of msrp or something.

Or bad performance on near new overpriced hardware.

Turns out i’m gonna buy a steamdeck with them using linux and thinking of things like this.

I just need to wait a bit as the most expensive season is around the corner, i’m just glad our Dutch black friday doesn’t outdo any regular discount making it a near necessity to wait for black friday.

I have those magnet balls and over the years (sounds more dramatic than it is) i bought 10 sets which usually sit on my desk in some fancy shape as decoration.

They can get fairly expensive (mass/price) so i opted to buy a single set every so often as i haven’t found a magnet shop that sells individual balls for less.

Sometimes i get so invested i’ll mess with them for hours.

Lucky you, it seems.

They sound really dramatic and difficult to deal with (an assumption based on what i usually hear about people that are similar in preferences etc).

If this is right, take care.

I’d give them a call: “i don’t mind these changes for 65% of the previous fee, unless you want me to cancel right here right now”.

See if they are willing to compensate, if not just cancel and yarr matey.

It’s just entertainment in the end, nothing we can’t live without or have loads of replacements available.

Wait…so, if i understand this correctly yeah…the Deck might upen us all up to a future of Linux as our operating system as gamers?

Seeing how popular it is etc, might that actually be on purpose? Excuse me being dumb, i just play games and that’s it basically no real computer tech knowledge.

The what now, chastity belts?

Parents: put some money aside. Government: pay taxes over that. Parents: do it with cash. Stores and others: we don’t accept cash anymore.

A digital upbringing it seems. Self taught, doomscrolling with no one around who loves them enough to tell them they are slipping away into darkness.

The corner is missing from the package, but slightly to the left the corner can be found underneath another staple.

I almost thought they re-used the paper for the next guy

I’m very bad with names, but our huisarts had a in house guy presumably that praktijkondersteuner and i had a couple talks with him about potential causes of what was causing issues. He noticed me being hyper aware and asked some stuff about my past which led to him sending me to the nearest psychology “clinic” which was covered under insurance but they are operating at “for profit” and will be aiming to get you out of there asap. I was warned about them but they were the only one within reach as we were very limited in travel distance.

I can’t really remember what we talked about during those 3 sessions but it was clear that her supervisor took over control as she was the one who very clearly and straightforward told me our sessions would be cut off.

Tbh it sort of felt like i was causing her issues leading to her supervisor having to take over control. It’s odd how i can’t remember what we talked about but i do remember the feelings that passed during those sessions.

Awesome, this is the first time my neighbours use their variation of G E K O L O N I S E E R D

Last time (and first) i went to therapy i was low on money and because of our insurance i “only”(be warned, veru european amounts ahead) had to pay my “own risk” clause which sat at €385. But i REALLY needed some form of help during that time, i had some job interviews and i was physically unable to drag myself to them.

I got about halfway and just break down completely, so i was desperate and literally stuck in life from my point of view.

So i went to therapy with my last money and ended getting 3 sessions and a “we can’t help you there is nothing wrong here’s the bill tho”.

I still don’t know how i managed to get out of there, but i can still feel it pulling in the background…this constant dragging brake.

I don’t think psychadelics can get me out of this, i tried weed once and man did i have a bad time. I’ve always had this: “i wouldn’t mind not existing/suicide would be great right about now” kind of brain and the weed didn’t help the worse part of that battle.

Online shopping used to mean lower prices and a bit of a wait.

Nowadays it’s: more expensive because of shipping, delivery not doing their job or even stealing your shit, which leads to you having to pick it up at a place further from your house than the store that sells it.

Over here they are supposed to deliver it to you in person but half the time (if not more) they’ll just leave a “you weren’t home note” even though you took the day off and then drop it off at a pickup point.

Downside is that i can’t stop online shopping because the stores never carry what i need.

Oh man, i’ve never been able to get over the: “i really want to play a game now that i have 30 minutes to spare and some energy left” ah fuck, 60gb update…fine i’m off to bed then.

Can’t imagine what i would do if a car update would come with the worst possible timing like having to take your partner to the hospital for an emergency.
