Having lived in California, I can attest that the drivers there were much better behaved and a whole lot less brain-dead stupid than the drivers here in Maine. Maine drivers are slso incredibly lucky, being able to do some marvelously ignorant shit on the roads and still survive to say, “Hold my Allen’s Coffee Brandy and watch this shit,” the very next day.

It’s january, you’ve got a 400 square foot lawn, you’ve been blowing that leaf blower for a full hour. Shut the fuck up already. There’s nothing there left to blow.

@BikerDash
That’s not how you spell ‘California’

(Maine actually ranks very well according to this site)

You should come to Maine

I hope it was restored quickly and didn’t leave you hanging too long. As someone who unfortunately got a taste of that experience. I can empathize.

@Color Anon
Heavy alt-chan user and this pattern holds true even for the odd bunch of people on the smaller imageboards that I use (including myself). I have gone back and forth on how bad I view it and I think a lot of the hate on it is also from the (rightful) perception of it draining and drawing away activity from the boards themselves. I’d still say Discord can be good for some groups and compared to the horribleness of Twitter it doesn’t seem that every Discord is a 100% awful experience and bad for every website/group that sets up one. What I will say though: It is too ubiquitous (single point of failure) , too used in situations where it makes for a worse experience (like, for anything involving tech support, please give me a forum where I can easily search previous questions) and for those of us like me who haven’t ever set up accounts there I have seen the splits in communities that result when they mostly drift off to Discord and some places can lose what made them special/interesting in the first place.

I’d probably try to disassemble the monitor to save the little fella (I love Spiders) but, truth be told, painstaking to deal with regardless of what course of action, or even nothing, if you wind up with a dead spider in there. (If anyone tries it, watch out for exposed transformers!)

Utah drivers are fucking shit!

@Amagan
You might cook the circuitry that way too.

@Fleur de Lis
Block the ventilation holes and cook the little bastard.

There’s a spider inside my monitor. I can see its shadow moving on the screen.

@Dex Stewart
I gotta wonder if its the same storm hitting me lol

Powers out from a snowstorm.

All social media sites have incestuous relationships with each other.

There are plenty of channers on Discords and plenty of Discords for channers.

@IvanSatoru
Channers usually warn everyone to never use Discord at all, period.

@Mitchy
Channers typically warn you against using any discord linked to in any post for a reason.

All the /mlp/ related discords are moderated by the same redditors and I hate it

I hate working swing shift…

@Hollowfox, Always The Worst Person
Context?

I wish October 7th never happened.

And I mean NEVER.

Yall better not pass that on to me

I’ve already crapped myself so hopefully I’m in the clear.

The whole country is getting it.

Had the worst stomach bug I’ve had since I was a kid yesterday.

Ugh. I hate chatterboxes.
How difficult is to simply NOT talk to a person who already has told them is NOT interested to talk to them because they are NOT pleaseant to talk to?
Worst of all, asking a chatterbox to not talk to you only makes them talk even more about how they WANT to talk to you and how you are obligated to drop everything you are doing and listen to them, and then immediately reply to them because not only they want to talk to you, they also expect you to talk to them even if you don’t want to.

@TheBridge
This new one has been one off so far. They other one hasn’t come back.

Roughish night. LOL, wow, another vent.

That I do agree is a factor. I have seen what you are taking about as well in some family members of/near that generation even if I have seen some hate on online shopping a bit. Looking around, both our observations are probably correct. This has been my perception. Note the numerous comments that mention boomers. However a recent shift with COVID and yeah, even if I still don’t discount the trifecta of upwardly mobile single women, well off subsets of Gen X/millennials with a established careers and middle to upper middle class families which seem to be where Amazon really pushes the most in their advertising in prime and streaming stuff, COVID might have brought them in larger numbers then what first comes to my mind.

@coolmaster43232
That… I know sometimes they can be one off once, you don’t know why, and that is that, BUT, I also know how suddenly it cam be for a issue that just pops up and stays around.

Did you fix it last time or did it just leave on its own?
