Things You Are Not Stoked On

[Pho King Hung Lo Mein]

Cockroaches

Speaking of "Roaches", not stoked that it took me so long to figure out that "Roach" is "Casper" and make the skateboarding connection.  Also not stoked on the remembrance of Justin Pierce, whom died by suicide in Las Vegas in 2000.

fucken cockroaches man, I feel you on this one. Always catch you off guard and just have that gross feel to them if they do happen to crawl over your foot or something

Been pretty depressed ever since my 29th birthday last week and today I was put on paid administrative leave.

paid to chill and skate? That's what your sad about.

[WobbleHeadBob]

If I don’t want to be friendly with idiots who know my wife and show indifference by being cold and to the point I shouldn’t have to fake the happiness for anyone.

theres a middle ground. im kinda similar, I have absolutely no interest in faking small talk with random people my wife knows BUT she's the nicest person ever and speaks to like EVERYONE so being a dick about it just makes things shittier than they need to be, say 'hi how you doin' or some generic aknowledgement of their existance so you dont come off like a complete asshole then bring yourself out of the situation by looking at your phone or something. its the lest painless way of dealing with these situations i have found so far

Hesitated on a backflip on my trampoline last night and basically got folded in half when i landed. I usually have them on lock but my kid yelled "GO!" right before I took off and that was enough to throw me off. My back is completely fucked today.

Ouch man that sucks. As a kid it was great but now I can't fuck around with them after seeing so many accidents.

My god damned laptop is fucked, just continuously reboots.  I hate widows. I have the worst luck with PC's. It's not even dumb shit like viruses or malware, they just start to fail.

Do you have another computer to work from? If so I can explain how to help you out with a linux machine.

get a usb stick and from that other computer download https://rufus.ie/ wait till it downloads and put this file on your usb as soon as that's done and you are ready to go try to start up your laptop in bios mode f2 when it first starts up and once there look in your usb settings but since you have a usb stick it is like a boot disk so you probably won't have to worry about it too much.

a warning though once you do this it does wipe anything on your hdd, I assume you want a functioning laptop but yeah usb boot disks are the way to go, also not alot of updates and thrills and spills it's a rad OS you can put anything on it as long your laptop can handle it.

all explained right here too

I've resurrected two laptops from the dead by this method both with windows 7 & 8.  I hate windows but linux or Ubuntu as they call it has a shitload of open source wares that do just the same if not better and not a decadent amount of boot up time as well, FUCK WINDOWS bunch a shit you don't need, as long as you get a VPN or something equivalent you'll be good.  Shalom

My next door neighbor decorated his door, and around his door for Halloween. I live in a building with halls, not like an outdoor entrance apartment complex. Anyway, he hung this stupid ass murder clown from the planter hook, and my kid is absolutely terrified of the thing. I knocked on his door to explain the situation and ask if he'd take it down, but he wasn't home, so I asked the office manager to ask him. She called me back an hour later saying that he basically told me to get fucked and to come talk to him in person, that he shouldn't have to change his decorations and we can use other exits... So It's been 3 days, I've gone over there 3 different times and he never comes to the door. I've tried talking to my kid about how it isn't real, there's nothing to be afraid of, etc, but he's still freaked out by it and won't walk that way. We now have to walk all the way around to the other end of the building, exit, walk to the other side to the car. I'm kind of over it, but my kid keeps asking if I could ask him to take it down. All the other shit is fine, but the dumb fucking clown is the problem. I fucking loathe having neighbors.

I wonder if he's home avoiding you or if it just bad timing. Either way it's lame he had such a reaction to the office manager

[os89]

Literally just happened. Work at a wannabe fancy type of restaurant. Stupid bitch ass of a boss sent me home for having my sleeves rolled up... Yes. That's it.

I get contact dermatitis and shit when stuff rubs my forearms too long. Ok so I just roll my fucking sleeves up at work and have been there doing it for the last 4 fucking years*. This dumb piece of shit of a person thinks their authority rules over common sense. Said I need a Dr note.

To roll my sleeves up?

I'm going to get the note slam it down on the table and give them all one of these.

[pizzafliptofakie]

I've dedicated almost the entirety of 2019 to trying to buy a house and I'm at the point of giving up, or at least taking an extended break. If I go after a house that's priced low I get beat by cash investments no matter how high over asking I go. If I go after a house toward the top of my budget, I find items that need to be fixed that I wouldn't be able to afford. The latter just happened this week on a house where my offer got accepted but I had to back out and I'm feeling pretty disheartened by it.




On a less severe but still discouraging note, I've been working on making a solo record for the past few years but always end up taking extended breaks because of drastic life events getting in the way. This year I've managed to get pretty far considering how busy I am, and just the other day the harddrive on the computer I was using crashed. Luckily I have a new computer, but it crashed as I was preparing to transfer files and progress, so it is very likely that I'll have to start from scratch for like the 5th time.

This is super lame, did you get like a few warnings or something or straight up just sent home because the boss spotted you with sleeves rolled up :|

[os89]

Yea man so silly. She literally makes rules up along the way, like a little kid playing a game. I'm so over it, it's probably for the better. Just so stupid and petty. I wish I just said my piece then and there and quit. I held my tounge and just said see ya when I see ya to the homies.

Trust me, he lives next to the garbage chute, I thought about just yanking it down and shoving it in there. There's cameras all over though. It should be noted that in a building with 30 unites, he is the ONLY one that's decorated in the hallway. He won't answer his door. His lights are on inside, I can see movement. I left him a really polite note this afternoon asking to do us a favor as neighbors and take down the clown. He left a note on our door basically telling us to get fucked, Halloween is his favorite holiday, nobody has ever complained, and that we should use this as a teaching moment for our kid... I lost it. I rang his doorbell a dozen times. He didn't answer. I left a note letting him know that the next time he's getting stoned on his balcony, which is every night, I'll notify the management since it's a non-smoking building, and he can use that as a teaching moment on how to be a good neighbor. Fucking prick.

Hahaha Bet hes going to be bummed when he gets that note. Seems like he could just switch it out for something a little more kid friendly and everyone could be happy.

98 degrees today. I live in a $3000/month 3rd floor apartment that faces west with no AC. I work nights and sleep during the day. I kinda of want to die right now.

No AC and that much rent? How, why? Can't you put in a window unit? If it falls on someone's head, it's their owwwwnn fault. It has to just be busted right?

Luckily I have a new computer, but it crashed as I was preparing to transfer files and progress, so it is very likely that I'll have to start from scratch for like the 5th time.

I think we're from the same general area, and yeah, buying your first house totally sucks right now. I was in the same position two years ago and we looked for months with much of the same results. Everything in our budget needed like at least 20k worth of repairs. Some of the houses straight up needed to be bulldozed. Anything worth it got scooped up by flippers with cash offers. The only reason we got our house is because the selling agent was a fucking lunatic. Our house belonged to an old lady who died and her brother was in charge of selling it, but really couldn't do much because he lived quite a ways away. Anyway, we made our offer at asking price then the selling agent tells our agent that she had 10 offers, including ours, multiple for cash, but chose ours because our realtor had been in the business for 20+ years. It was total luck that we got it. 

Hang in there and hopefully you'll find something. The market is fucking ridiculous right now but who knows when it will tank and homes will be affordable again. I know people who bought houses similar to mine back in like 08-09 for under 100k and sold them recently for 50-60k more than they paid and it makes me so jealous. Just keep your credit high and save whatever you can because you're going to need it.

Buying a house sucks. I just bought in April, we actually had to settle for one that needs a little work but is livable as is for now. Our old landlord called us and told us she wasn't renewing our lease cause she wanted to sell. Pretty much at the worst time. My wife was in her last semester of a 5 year doctoral program, not working. We had just had a conversation about staying in that rental one more year while we save some more money to buy.

We basically got that call and got it all done in 45 days. House market where we are wasn't too bad, but to be in the area my wife wanted to be for the kids to be in decent schools was slim. We would set up showings with our buy and he would call us a day or two before to let us know it was under contract. We basically had to go see houses the day they started showing. That's what we did for the one we bought, we were the first people to see it once it was made available to show. Put an offer in before we left it. My wife loves the house, location, school district for the kids. I am pretty "meh" on it, maybe cause I am the one that will have to do most of the work.  Maybe cause I think for $300k we could have gotten something in a little better shape, but time wasn't on our side.

Hang in there, the right one will pop up. If there is nothing forcing you to leave your current situation, like we had, I would stick it out and wait for the right one to fall in your lap.

Damn, you guys need to relocate to Southwest Michigan haha. I paid just under $150 for a 3 bedroom with a medium/large pole barn sitting on an acre that only needed slight updating. There are lots of options in the 80k-150k range that are completely livable around these parts.
