  My client underpaid me. Itxs flat ratechildcare. It's written in the contract and policies. You only get a discount if I am sick. Period. So i wake up to being shorted what she perceived to be one days pay. While I am on vacation. I just don't want to deal with her shit while I am on vacation. I really don't. I take 2 fucking days a year to get away from kids and dogs. Why could she not have paid the full fucking amount like everyone Looks like I get to send a message to her and now debate if I tack on the five dollar fee or not for late payments. And i bet she will try this next week too.

  So, someone has lent me car while out of town for a week and a half. On top of it being amazing having a window of time being free from relying on people for rides or standing around waiting for a rideshare to arrive... I had something happen tonight I've never had happen before. Not once. In my entire time as a driver. There was only a quarter tank left (I got it with about a third before I went to work today and I went to see a movie after work because hey, I don't have long left on my first free month with MoviePass and I should take advantage!) and I figured I'd put some gas in. I authorized $30 because I remembered the last I was driving, $20 never seemed to go far. It cut off at $26. That has never... ever happened to me. I actually briefly froze because I had no idea what to do in that situation. Obviously I realized a second later: oh, yeah, it only charges however much gets used. But I've never actually been able to... authorize more than I need. It was super surreal, but it's also really nice to have this brief period of time of being... free.

  @insomnia No. I did a few judgements and didn't like what my actual action was compared to the brief descriptor given. That was a problem a few times in the game where a choice was very much not what I had thought it would be. I ruined the Chantry. I ruined the Grey Wardens. The Empire will fall at its next crisis and they don't like me. The Elves are unhappy. I broked Solas's orb. I didn't grab for power, and I didn't become a Believer. I didn't like any of the possible mates save one and I got nothing there. At least everyone likes mages now.

  I walked 24 miles in the past 4 days. Okay, so my left hip and left arch are killing me, and walking 3 miles a day in 80 degree heat may not have been the smartest idea, but I am not at all surprised at how much higher quality my sleep has been. On the other hand, my left leg and foot aches in a way that I'm not looking forward to dealing with in dress shoes.

  Multiple sources are reporting Kawhi asked to be traded from San Antonio after today's meeting. This is huge. There's zero way the Spurs will not honor that and risk him just walking next summer for nothing. This summer's trades, between him and LeBron, can reshape the league depending on how they fall.

  @admiral said in Video Dump: I understand why people go Furry/Otherkin. Escapism. Hell, most of the time I feel the same way. I'd love to be delusional enough to actually run with it but I am afflicted by a rather crashing sanity. I knew an "Otherkin" back in high school, though the term wasn't one she would have been familiar with or used had she known it, and she was so out there about what she thought and believed that it was at least as harmful to our group of friends as the Final Fantasy House stuff, though probably a little less since thankfully none of us ever lived with her. I was very blunt with her at the time and refused to humor her fantasies, which eventually cost me her friendship, and when I look back with what I know now about her that I didn't know then - she was going through some absolutely insane levels of abuse from a family member and her boyfriend at the time, as a mutual friend told me not too long ago - I regret it. I still don't know how I was supposed to handle it, exactly, but I wish I had had at least more tact.

  @sunny said in Good TV: @coin I am really enjoying the show, but it's hard to watch sometimes. It can be hard to watch, yeah. @wizz said in Good TV: @coin I really, really enjoyed S1. S2 has been kind of a mixed bag for me, there have been moments that utterly surpassed the first season and then entire subplots that just felt like filler...but dude I can not even imagine better casting for Amahl, that guy is perfect. There is one plot that was kind of filler but I am pretty confident that they're going to circle back in the last episode or two and kind of wrap it all up in a nice bow. I dunno. I have faith.

  @chet said in Comics: Superman as a character: So if you want to learn how to write a major DC Comics superhero, you have to master their archvillain, is my theory. I have been saying this literally for a decade. A hero is defined by his greatest struggle, which, in comics, is a super-villain. And the most compelling superhero stories have compelling villains.

  Played a little Vampyr with the ladyfriend (I play, she tells me "no, don't do that" and "omfg, Manuel, you don't just ASK someone that" and "the box is shimmering, that means you can open it, no, not that box, omfg here let me do it" and "KILL IT, KILL I--you're dead again") and I really liked it. Some technical difficulties, but I'll figure that shit out. I really liked the blood tracking stuff--reminded me a lot of The Witcher 3's tracking stuff. I still think that sort of system would be awesome for a werewolf game.

  @auspice Annihilation got some poor reviews overall but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Also. Saw Adrift tonight finally. Shailene Woodley was fantastic. Her co-star phoned it in. Otherwise it was pretty decent.
