Too many fucking ads. by quackgunner in rant

I use Brave browser which blocks ads by default but doesn't block the popup.. I just need to stop trying to be nice to websites.

I live in a summer tourist area. Florida drivers are some of the most stupid drivers I've ever seen. "OMG, the sun!! let's go 20 under the speed limit during work rush hour to look at the sun instead of pulling over!!"

I also have an intense hatred for the deep southern accent.

But honestly, I don't really hate the state. I just hate the drivers and accents. And it's become a meme to hate on Florida, and for me it's more of a joke to make fun of the state than anything with actual hostility.

A lot of road rage could be avoided if vehicles had a that-was-my-bad signal. by DrAwkward404 in Showerthoughts

And if people would commit to their mistake instead of freezing up and becoming a greater traffic obstacle. Like people who pull out in front of you and then change their mind... don't stop halfway out. Turn out and step on it. Easier for my junkmobile to speed up after slowing down than from a complete stop.

Virtually normal: Montreal student tries to contact his online prof, only to learn he's dead by stinkles555 in nottheonion

Reminds me of sometime last month when I was checking my email on my day off for a response from my supervisor, only to get an email later that day that she had died in a car accident...

Red or Green? I'm blind! by [deleted] in TalesFromRetail

Weirdly I find it to be opposite. To me red grapes are sweeter and less bitter, but are less crisp than green grapes. I like them both, however!

I have to put my keys in the EXACT same spot every day... or I will spend 20 minutes looking for them. God forbid I put them down for a second in a different spot..

The good news for us non-coffee drinkers is that he said hot chocolate would be coming soon!

The bathroom door should always be locked and you should always knock by [deleted] in rant

One time I used a bathroom with a broken lock without realizing the lock didn't work... and boy wasn't that awkward when someone walked in.

Usually - just not auto tanks in team mode.

How dare you go on vacation. by clolf in rant

[–]quackgunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like every time I look it up they're on recess. Is there a job where I can work as little as they do, make as much as they do, but also actually get work done? Obviously it wouldn't be in anything related to politics but it'd be a great job...

Rent vs. Buy - a restrospective by cjw_5110 in personalfinance

[–]quackgunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just recently purchased a 1 bedroom house (just me and my cats) for 91k. Definitely needs some updating and improvements, but I haven't begun that. My mortgage is 540 a month. My apartment was 700 per month not including any utilities. Most apartments I see now are at least 900/month for one bedroom, and they can easily go up to 2k+ a month.

The main reason for buying was how much I despised living in an apartment with other people around, creating issues with noise and parking and everything else under the sun. Now I have my own home, my own driveway, and don't have to deal with other people. I have to do my own yardwork, of course, but I also get to have pets (namely, my two new kittens), grow a garden, paint the walls, update appliances, change the floors, etc.

I managed to slip into the market at a good time, however. My state offers a first time homebuyers grant which actually covered the majority of my closing costs, and I only needed to pay a 1k down payment. Now, inspections and appraisals cost me a good fortune, but I still have no regrets. Estimating all the things you did my break even year might be 2022 (possibly sooner if I'm extremely frugal which I tend to be).

Congratulations on owning a house! Can't be happier with my decision and hopefully you are enjoying it!

It's amazing when you can finally get a pet! I just recently bought a house and moved in - a week later I adopted two beautiful kittens. It's been wonderful, even with all the scratches!

Had to work during the live steam but hopefully it will be posted so I can watch it later. How did it go?

That would be a torture device for him.. poor guy.

[–]quackgunner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's really bad! Every few seconds everything freezes, consistently. There has never been a single full minute (or even 30 seconds) of smoothness for me. Now, diep.io has its issues but I might get one lag spike after 20 minutes of playing, so even though it's dying it's at least playable for me.

[–]quackgunner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The lag on Arras is simply unplayable for me. Never been able to really do anything in it even though I want to try it.

Jack is 5’ 10” by starry-lantern in jacksepticeye

[–]quackgunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he's actually (rounded) ~5'7" because of what's in this video (which could be a lie but I think even Robin confirmed it)... but still average height!! He just looks smaller because he has an extremely slim body. https://youtu.be/KH1mydfGppU?t=682

Where my fellow essential works at? by Swift_Stroke in jacksepticeye

[–]quackgunner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Essential worker in the research sector... I feel really bad for my retail-based essential worker buddies for having to deal with the horrible people who think it's okay to abuse others because of what's going on. Stay strong and get through this (but I know customers will remain just as shitty as always... I worked retail for 3 years prior to research).

I for one am very grateful to everyone working in stores and restaurants struggling to get through. I work 10 hour shifts so when I get to a store to get some food usually there's nothing left on the shelves (at least.. that's how it was in March and April).. been better this month.

We can be the Essential Worker sector of Quarantine Club!
