    i will feed cats. I will make sure cats are uninijured and at a glance healthy/happy.
    i will not walk.
    i will not change litter.
    I will not show any outward affection.

    These are my terms. Maybe contact Raz. She might offer some sort of holistic hippy feline pamper package.

    Hi all! Here, have a peek into the Life and Times of a Fucked Up Family! *que dramatic music*

    My Mom's little sister, my-barely-44yr old aunt, was killed in a car accident a couple of months ago. The autopsy results are back, she weight about 110 lbs and her blood alcohol level was .26. Rather than mourning my maternal grandfather has taken this tragic opportunity to prove what a dick he is. I won't go into ALL of the details, but here are some of the highlights:

    *Granddad doesn't inform his exwife, my aunt's mother, of their daughter's death
    *Granddad illegally, and against the will of his two living daughters, signs custody of my aunt's remains over to her live-in boyfriend
    *Grandad advises the live-in boyfriend that he'd stand to inherit (there is A LOT to inherit) if he were the common law husband
    *Granddad gets the boyfriend an attorney, even though the boyfriend is wealthy of his own accord
    *Boyfriend runs and puts an obit in a local paper stating my aunt was married to him, but he misspells her name and gets her date of birth wrong
    *Boyfriend & Granddad send my mom and her remaining sister off to see what's left of the car as a distraction while they sneak off and have my aunt cremated in secret
    *We get the autopsy results and discover they were at Boyfriend's bar and he was serving her, and chose not to take her keys
    *Aunt's mother finds out her daughter is dead, and hires an attorney
    *Aunt's mother turns out to be a PI, looks into Boyfriend and finds out he's actually probably married to someone else - there's a record of the marriage, no record of a divorce or annulment, and or the woman's death
    *Mom and remaining aunt hire an attorney to try and become the executors of their sister's estate
    *Remaining aunt reads the death certificate for the first time, seeing that it's marked that her sister had never been married and is signed by Boyfriend
    *Granddad reassures Boyfriend that he's in his corner and will help him - read that as: spend the trust money that's the only hope of keeping the family ranch in the family

    My mom and my aunt filed yesterday morning, Boyfriend, who is refusing to give up any of my aunt's belongings, got tipped off by my grandfather and also filed on Monday morning.

    And so the world turns, in Central Texas.

    I don't think I like your Grandfather very much.

    he's the sort of old bastard I'd poke a hole in his colostomy bag

    It's fun to have a multimillionaire as a grandfather who won't help us financially...really fucking fun (he's an asshole)

    I do love my grandfather, but omg, over the last few years the very very worst of his personality traits have taken over. He's 90 now, and watching him help this jerk and screw over my mom and aunt is stomach churning.

    want me to shark him?

    can you not just leave a couple days of food out for cats?

    I know you can't for most dogs because they will literally eat until they die but I figured cats were better about that.

    Yeah, if you are also the kind of casually fucking rich who walks into chanel and walks out with two full bags of stuff, you probably need one because most normal bank / credit cards will trip all the alarms and go on lockdown when you pull shut like that.

    Any of the Amex cards should be fine. None of them have set spending limits and at most you'll get a little call like: "hey so, what's the deal with this $50k purchase?"

    I have a gold card for work because I gotta throw 15-20k on there at random to buy airfare, hotel accommodations, and equipment from time to time. I don't even get the calls anymore. (Also I am swimming in the goddamned points oh yes). I think the only difference between Amex's various cards is the perks like $200 for a hotel if a flight you paid for using the card gets cancelled, or the ability to straight up refund a purchase every once in a while if you don't like the thing.

    I used to get really annoyed about people blowing large wads of cash on luxury goods where you are mostly just paying for the brand recognition (ie. "I want everyone else to know I have money").

    But it's not really like that money is going to waste so much as it's just being transferred to people savvy enough to con certain well-to-do out of their excess cash. So I guess my feelings are more of a resounding "meh" these days.

    For better or worse, there is social status attached to certain things.

    Buying those things is done to purchase that status.

    It's not like people are getting conned, they are buying something. They are just buying something that is sadly transitory.

    But hell, I pay extra money not to be inconvenienced by things, I'm not sure that I'm so different. I just don't have the disposable income to impress people with my spending.

    Well, yeah, maybe con is the wrong word. But the whole idea of status being attached to things has a very...deceitful? feel to it. I dunno, I can't think of the right words here.

    I tend to react to such things in a "Ha ha, your foul magic won't work on me" sort of way.

    But I have to admit there are probably instances where I definitely fall for the whole status symbols things in spite of myself.

    I tried but the dealership wouldn't let me.

    I actually called my CC to see if they'd let me put 22K on it a few years ago at the dealership but then the dealer said there was like a 6K max. Given the bank takes like 6% that makes sense

    My last okcupid conversation somehow hit batman, so we started talking about bat[stuff], which hit shark repellant, the batcard, and eventually someone brought up batnipples and we both laughed and then the conversation mutually died and we haven't talked since.

    What is my company doing

    We're supposed to go beta on this product tomorrow -- of course there hasn't been any actual testing of the update mechanism, which is important since this is an anti-virus-ish product that gets updated multiple times a day. It just flat out doesn't work with the way our CDN works, so now me and the guy involved with patching on the product are scrambling to figure out some hacky way to do it.

    Amex is honestly a pretty good credit card company. I've only ever used them but I'm not such a social status whore to get myself an AMEX Black.

    Although maybe once the kids are both teenagers and I feel a bit safer about doing some traveling I might bite the bullet for the benefits therein.

    *Granddad doesn't inform his exwife, my aunt's mother, of their daughter's death
    *Granddad illegally, and against the will of his two living daughters, signs custody of my aunt's remains over to her live-in boyfriend
    *Grandad advises the live-in boyfriend that he'd stand to inherit (there is A LOT to inherit) if he were the common law husband
    *Granddad gets the boyfriend an attorney, even though the boyfriend is wealthy of his own accord
    *Boyfriend runs and puts an obit in a local paper stating my aunt was married to him, but he misspells her name and gets her date of birth wrong
    *Boyfriend & Granddad send my mom and her remaining sister off to see what's left of the car as a distraction while they sneak off and have my aunt cremated in secret
    *We get the autopsy results and discover they were at Boyfriend's bar and he was serving her, and chose not to take her keys
    *Aunt's mother finds out her daughter is dead, and hires an attorney
    *Aunt's mother turns out to be a PI, looks into Boyfriend and finds out he's actually probably married to someone else - there's a record of the marriage, no record of a divorce or annulment, and or the woman's death
    *Mom and remaining aunt hire an attorney to try and become the executors of their sister's estate
    *Remaining aunt reads the death certificate for the first time, seeing that it's marked that her sister had never been married and is signed by Boyfriend
    *Granddad reassures Boyfriend that he's in his corner and will help him - read that as: spend the trust money that's the only hope of keeping the family ranch in the family

    My mom and my aunt filed yesterday morning, Boyfriend, who is refusing to give up any of my aunt's belongings, got tipped off by my grandfather and also filed on Monday morning.

    And so the world turns, in Central Texas.

    I don't think I like your Grandfather very much.

    he's the sort of old bastard I'd poke a hole in his colostomy bag

    It's fun to have a multimillionaire as a grandfather who won't help us financially...really fucking fun (he's an asshole)

    I do love my grandfather, but omg, over the last few years the very very worst of his personality traits have taken over. He's 90 now, and watching him help this jerk and screw over my mom and aunt is stomach churning.

    want me to shark him?

    I don't see how impregnating him is going to help anything.

    He's 90. No way he makes it through sharkbirth.

    i have a single visa credit card

    i have been thinking about getting an amex, if not for card diversification

    but i dunno

    i like my trusty little visa

    we've been through a lot together

    I keep meaning to get one with better rewards, since mine is points when I'd probably prefer just cash back. But procrastination

    I also don't want to pay an annual fee so I haven't gotten an AMEX

    Skippy lately I feel like my attitude has changed

    I used to have this split opinion about fancy cars that they were often well-engineered connoisseur items even if the owners were often walking advertisements for class war

    But lately every time I see an expensive sportsy luxury car I just think, "What a fucking tryhard"

    Hmm

    idk people want different things from their cars

    some people want brums

    some people want the car to parallel park itself

    and some people want both!

    I am turning into a Chu

    Everyone should just drive a Mazda 3 sedan

    I keep feeling like I should get a card with better rewards

    and shaz talks about piling up the points and getting free trips and stuff

    but I've had this stupid card since 2003 and I should probably keep it open just for the longevity of the account

    and it sounds so tedious to figure out how to maximize points that every time I look into it I just go lie on the divan with a cloth over my eyes instead

    Ello is a social network that lacks ads and is supposed to make money selling features. They also promise not to do data mining.

    I feel the key to success here is to promise that and then renege on the promises.

    At some point they have to monetize.

    Will people be willing to pay like 20-30 bucks a year for a Facebook sans-bullshit?

    I might.

    maybe. who knows? network TV survived for decades on nothing but advertising revenue. now google is thriving almost exclusively on ad revenue. i don't know that there's any reason that a facebook couldn't.

    "Windows 8 is only being offered to employees by about one in five organisations right now. Windows 7 is still the de facto standard for enterprise in the desktop environment.

    "For Microsoft to continue to be able to get the best and latest technology in the hands of the enterprise workforce all over the world, it has to have a vehicle to do that - and Windows 9 is its best shot."

    so why'd you skip it and go to 10 instead?

    I think this is close-ish to correct, but someone school me if I be wrong.
    1- Windows 1
    2- Windows 2 (there was a 2.1 as well, but...)
    3- Windows 3/3.1
    4- Windows NT
    5- Windows Millenium
    6- Windows XP
    7- Windows Vista
    8- Windows 7
    9- Windows 8
    10 - Windows 10

    :?:

    [ed] Holy goodness. I forgot about Windows 2000, Windows 95 and Windows 98. Go me. :P
