my mom asked me why I haven't celebrated my new job or graduation and I told her that I haven't actually signed the employment paperwork to be full time yet and regardless of what my boss is telling me and how much I trust her I'm not counting on anything until it's staring me in the face
and she's like goddamn you're cynical good for you
I made the mistake of ordering something online from a place that isn't Amazon. Let's count the things that went wrong in this transaction.
1.) I had to pay $24 for shipping
2.) Had to create an account to place an order
3.) Payment went through some weird 3rd party
4.) Account creation email was sent to me with my password in clear text
5.) Estimated transit time (shown to me only after order went through), 15-22 days.
6.) Confirmation email includes a note that says shipping may be delayed due to the guy running the site going on vacation August 8-Aug 22
7.) Payment company contacts me and says that my payment information was refused (for no particular reason)
8.) There is no way to correct payment info
9.) Support is nonresponsive as guy is on vacation
Ordering from a place that isn't Amazon: never even once
I wish they sold major appliances, though. I had to order my new kitchen stuff from a place in Brooklyn to dodge sales tax (like $250, before accounting for the better prices to start with) and it's going to take like a whole week to get here. :P

I am intrigued by Legacy games but our boardgame group has variable attendance and is far-flung. Every session lately is a joyous shotgun blast of like five different games and pizza and beer and also snacks and of course tea because we are not savages.
i hope hilldawg was serious about her campaign promise to do a moratorium on student loan payments by executive order
I can't imagine that's legal, but it would be fun if she tried.
Well it would be illegal if you didn't owe the money. You still accrue interest, but the executive pretty much has carte blanche for enforcement of collection for things like student loans.
like how GWB basically stopped investigating tax fraud for rich people entirely

IIRC it's only for 3 months and interest keeps accruing. The idea being it'll give people breathing room to refinance them at better terms.
And only applies to federal student debt... which is 100% never a problem.
I've never seen someone go "man this federal student loan debt is crushing me" because it's capped to income 100% of the time.
It's always "Man Sallie Mae is taking me to the cleaners for this 10k in private student loan debt I had to take out because my parents made too much money and I got fucked in financial aid for some reason, and they want $400 a month."
bowen on
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

Sallie Mae's first call to me to collect was telling me they wanted $600 a month for 5 years
and I'm like, you wanna check your numbers again? I owe you $6000
silence for a minute and she's like oh your first payment (of ~$87/month) is due february of 2017
yes, correct, and what is the date now? not that is it no okay bye

also i know we are all fatigued by politics at this point
but we can just talk about how insane it was that howard dean basically lost because he enthusiastically made a funny noise and trump is literally suggesting that obama was the founder of isis and telling people they should consider shooting hillary clinton

I stayed up too late playing Hearthstone last night because I have approximately zero self-control or foresight and now I am very tired and don't want to work.

Dean didn't have a secret plan to defeat ISIS and also wasn't the best at words like Trump is.

that is a very NPResque phrase
unlike trickle down economics it actually works
This 100% checks out I wouldn't even question it
The Swedish phrase for trickle-down economy is... the horse shit theory.
You give the horse head lots of grass, and then nutritious horse shit falls all over the grass, helping it grow!

God that game is so good. Can't wait for season 2.
The depth of strategy and need for commitment is amazing.
What month are you on?

really for you just pragmatic at this point
I have sleep envy now. I'm p much tired all the time. A walking zombie.
I can't imagine that's legal, but it would be fun if she tried.
this day is a roller coaster ride i tell you
We played August last week, we're doing it real-time.
We've won eight out of ten games. I think we're on six wins straight now.
Funded events? Ha, funny.
I want to kill, just to feel awake
So I, too, am a zombie
This aggression
you can't just say this to a devoted wordsmith
What the fuck?
have you tried abandoning all responsibility and not caring about anything

for some reason there were subway cars that were flooded and had alligators in them and i had to escape and in the next one i had to wrestle a bear
so, like more normal commute
I've heard ghosting your family and life is bad. So no. Not yet.

I suspect it's a weaponized combination of both of those things
The new hearthstone PvE is really cute though!
