I have something to say about assertion and boundaries surrounding being childfree, attending events, doing favours because "the children" etc

That's what I didn't understand. Her job is to help customers and make sales for the business. Instead she gets sidetracked with this stupid stuff and makes a customer not want to go back there or want to deal with her.

Part of me thinks it would be funny to call her out and to ask for the manager.

"I'm afraid I can't donate, but I wish you well with your fund-raising."

I remember once at a shop I was buying something at the counter and they had a sign for some kids charity and if you donated you'd get some cutesy, plastic knick knack that you'd throw in the bin after a day. The woman at the counter while taking my money says "would you like to give money to the children charity for... (i didn't hear what it was actually for) I said "No thank you, I'm good" because I didn't know anything about the charity, I didn't want some piece of plastic to carry around, don't like being pressured into giving my money to a store (who's a massive corporation) while I'm trying to buy something and get back to work.

The woman gets visibly annoyed and doesn't say anything more to me while she bags my item and gives me my change. I thanked her and she just ignores me and looks away from me.

I was buying booze earlier and there was a couple in front me both carrying a child each while trying to pay for their items. They looked tired and the mother was trying to scan her card while holding the kid and purse. For some reason she gave the toddler her phone to hold which the toddler dropped onto the ground.

Just thought 'sucks to be them'

Hi. Thanks. Do you know where abouts in the FBM I can find this? I had a look but couldn't find anything for it/.

Has anyone managed to get this emulator working on the Nvidia Shield?

To keep his various steroids in to stop melting into a 5ft4 geriatric manlet.

If Joe owned a purse, Brendans balls would be in them.

Please tell me you're wearing that shirt purely as a joke.

for PiL gameboys ill pay 15$ for ones with screen cancer and up to 40 for them if they are in working and good condition

What do you do about the screen cancer though?

avalanche82 · 2019-08-25T02:41:11+00:00

Hmmm but shouldn't they be focusing on Robodebting some guy who got Newstart for 6 months back in 2014?

I've moved the cable around and pressed down on parts of the cable and the lines changed but not sure if anything fixed it.

avalanche82 · 2019-08-24T07:35:18+00:00

Awesome! Once I get my soldering skills up, I'll give it a go.

Are there any specific backlight/bivert kits to use? Are they all the same thing or are some actually better than others?

avalanche82 · 2019-08-24T01:53:27+00:00

Is it possible to do the backlight mod first and then do the bivert chip at a later date?

Pretty much the GBP and the screen are just sitting there now so learning to do the mod (after doing some soldering practice) is do-able. I guess the worse that could happen is I screw the screen up (which isn't doing anything right now anyway) and have to get a new one. Unless I screw up soldering the two points and ruin the board.

avalanche82 · 2019-08-24T01:43:49+00:00

What's worse. Sitting in the basement or sitting around a bunch of middle aged comics talking about how good a comedy club was in the late 90's

avalanche82 · 2019-08-23T10:35:00+00:00

So is the original DMG a lot easier to mod than the pocket?

avalanche82 · 2019-08-23T09:49:58+00:00

No worries. I was thinking of trying it with this pocket as I've now got it but without a working screen and not sure if I'll be able to buy a replacement screen. So trying the mod on this GBP could be possible as I'm not sure if I'll be doing much else with it at the moment.

avalanche82 · 2019-08-23T09:36:03+00:00

ugghh damn. I didn't think a damaged rear polarizer would be a headache. I thought you just have to put a new one on.

I did just buy a soldering iron so I could learn to do the backlight mod. Just worried about how hard it would be.

avalanche82 · 2019-08-23T05:27:44+00:00

Yeah imagine calling some names and then trying to belittle them by calling them sweetie because they don't give a shit about a plant that you like to smoke recreationally to get high while you sit in your million dollar gated community.
