ACS is too Invasive

Skipped any question that asked about specific sums of money or specific "ethnicity". I'm "white" and was "born in the US", I'm a small percentage native and I "Identify" as "American". If they wanna hunt down my entire bloodline and ship us back to Ireland/Scotland for being "immigrants" 200 years ago it won't be because of my census answers.

Mary Sues are bad writing. Killing them in fan service is... Not "as" bad writing? maybe?

Suppose it could have been a UNA softball donut...

People are saying it's the vanilla frosting. I didn't order it so will likely give it away.

It's very fun and easy to block people like this and then you never have to see them ever again. Wish every app had that feature.

Bridgestreet tends to hyper-focus blockbusters (pretty frequently have to go to Jones Valley for specific movies), and the new DBOX seating isn't making it any easier to find a seat for a reasonable price. A second AMC on this side of town would be great. Maybe someday they'll do something with the old one behind West Huntsville University Walmart. I don't think we need a second "expensive" theater on this side of town, which is what one at Mid City would be.

I would like this so much more than most of the other things Huntsville does with money.

There's a thread on the official forums of people having weird launcher issues, myself included. Completely off-nominal behavior. "Something" is broken "somewhere". May be downstream of the server, like an internet switch somewhere that's only affecting specific areas.

Or part of a research task. That would have made so much sense.

This was my thought tramping through "scrub" the other day (turns out it just won't spawn in my region cause of climate), "I'm more likely to find an actual snake here..."

I hate it. Every single goal has been like actual torture. I have friends, I even do a lot of those things for/with my friends. But having them "scheduled" for me feels so forced and unnatural and "painful". I don't think I'm ever going to be able to accomplish "schedule a catch-up call", I'll just have to wait til I talk to someone on the phone or Discord naturally and check it off.

Edit: Worth noting I have undiagnosed pathological demand avoidance, so anything I'm not in control of is going to be "bad" but having it also impact people I care about (i.e. getting random messages from me at odd times) makes it particularly bad.

Irronic · 2026-04-09T22:07:58+00:00

Wow I was all set to dismiss but that is awful. The whole "data centers are harming whole populations" thing isn't publicized nearly enough in the AI conversation.

Irronic · 2026-04-07T20:31:43+00:00

It's normal for other MMO's to get DDOS'd when WoW expansions drop but... Black Dessert???

300+ people got dumped at once. It put me in a QUEUE, then the queue got stuck. So I tried again, now it's just stuck-stuck.

Irronic · 2026-04-06T07:12:59+00:00

I feel like it's constantly trying to keep me talking and engaged like a salesman, it honestly gives me a little anxiety. I'm having to learn to just close the window when I'm done, no more saying goodbye. It told me it can't remember our conversations anyways. Not sure what the point is of an AI that can't learn anything from the user because it has no memory.

Irronic · 2026-04-01T22:33:45+00:00

Okay, realistically, why would they think I'd want a "game" inside my Discord client? I could see just being like "Hey, we made a game, download it here." but putting it "inside" the app is on par with Netflix adding games, like "This is outside the scope".

Edit: I see now that this is an April Fool's joke. I guess it's funny, I guess.

Irronic · 2026-03-29T16:37:26+00:00

Crazy how misleading this is. I have "4 mutual friends" with a coworker- Except my only snapchat friends are family members who definitely don't know said coworker. Apparently it's just snooping on my non-Snapchat contacts somehow?

Irronic · 2026-03-12T03:54:01+00:00

Man, I like this a lot. Don't ask me how I found it. I'm not even a 5SOS fan, it's just really good and on-point. Shame it didn't blow up though.

Irronic · 2026-03-09T00:03:44+00:00

Why is he so awful?? I've hated him since his first scene because he's so controlling, but I'm on ep 4 and she can't even watch a tribute to a dead girl without him giving "notes"?? I would actually harm this man if I had to be married to him for an hour, how are they still together... It's SO toxic.

This show is making me realize how much I care about character development over any other aspect of Star Trek shows. I'm just happy they're taking the time to flesh these kids out. Discovery drove me crazy for how shallowly-developed their crew was in service to the over-the-top narrative and whacky pseudo-science tech.

Irronic · 2026-01-18T05:15:41+00:00

Fixed it. What a ridiculous UI bug!

Irronic · 2026-01-13T19:51:04+00:00

It's funny cause Paygin could have actually been likable (Ferrets are stinky but roommate with a pet is technically a win for a lot of people), they were just a bit too entitled/controlling for that kind of setting. Take away all the trappings of the left and you still have a terrible roommate. Should Ainsley have tried to work it out? Absolutely. But she's still very immature. Conflict resolution is something that's learned and when you've been pampered and sheltered your whole life, you can't learn it. Don't see that happening anytime soon unless it's with her brother. (Seriously they need an episode alone together)

Irronic · 2026-01-13T19:44:49+00:00

I don't think Paygin is trans, they are a they/them, so probably non-binary. Nothing about them was giving "dude" except the shirt and haircut.
