Housepets!

I remember it being full of NYC culture and entertainment industry in-jokes that would fly over the heads of its nominal demographic.

That was one of the chief complaints about it, the weird bits of adult animation humor in a kid's movie.

bleh. just pulled two twelve hour shifts back to back...

I couldn't even handle a single 14 hour shift, how are you still awake?

*cheers to you!*

I did two eleven hours, but was suppose to do a third. I couldn't do the third and just worked the ten hour on the third day. They were mandatory hours =(

you mean besides spending my highschool and colege years mastering how to function normally on 4-6 hrs sleep instead of 8-10?

Whoa. Gotta respect being able to do that.

Buster wrote:you mean besides spending my highschool and colege years mastering how to function normally on 4-6 hrs sleep instead of 8-10?

huge respect for that as well. I'm not use to those kind of hours. I get worn out with just 4-6 hours of sleep. Need my 8 hours.

Though to my credit, i barely miss any time at work.

Fffff, cats.
*goes back to sleep*

I have trouble functioning without 8, myself. It really helps with memory.

Regularly got by on 5-6 hours of sleep but in the military. But that was when I was young and foolish. Now that I'm old and foolish, slumber is one of my favorite modes of cheap travel...

for high school I generally shot for 6.5 hours, with more on the weekends unless I had to get up early for marching band and didn't wanna go to bed early enough. Senior year I ended up sleeping in my first period kinda regularly (my teacher said it was cool as long as I did the class participation after the lecture and did the homework well. which I did, I think that was one of the only AP tests I managed to get a high grade on)

in college I usually went with like 7.5 hours, 6.5 if I had early classes and anywhere from 0 to 4 if I had a big assignment I procrastinated on. but I think I only once did that for more than one night.

now i usually shoot for 8 (again, unless I work early and don't wanna sleep early enough to get that, in which case I go for 6.5)

Does anyone REALLY know why is Discord doing this to myself? I mean, I dropped really hard the post counts on any forums (I could have been to 2000 if it weren't for discord) and I have a lots of Discord servers that I don't have the time to check them. Now, I'm not even that active on Discord than I was on the forums a year ago, I'm just reading messages there and there, and I rarely tell anything new.

I'm really worried. When I was more active on the forums, I was really happy I could self-express me. Now, it's just... like I shyed away a lot.

Forums are a great way to communicate online... I worry that Discord and Telegram and stuff are drawing people away from them, and people aren't having as high-quality discussions.

i doubt it. discord and telegram seem more like an evolution of now-defunct chatrooms, and those coexisted with forums just fine.

AOL IM digivolve to TELEGRAM!

Oh man, I have so many good memories with AIM. I was super sad when it fell out of popularity.

I don't really care too much, honestly. I just want everyone on the same platform. What I miss is Skype because it was after AIM/MSN/Yahoo! died but before Telegram and Discord came around to split the market again.

Sure, but Skype slowly deteriorated in quality (at least, in terms of the Android app) and that drove me away to other things. I can't even remember the last time that I intentionally opened Skype...

I just wish people weren't split between Telegram and Discord now. One or the other would have been better!

I'm going to edit so many of my old posts with images because I found a fix to the down postimg images.
Apparently this image hosting site decided to change his domain and did a dodgy job on it so all previous images were down because they were pointing to the incorrect URL. The fix is easy: change "postimg" from the URL to "postimage" and ta daa, it's fixed.

I went to my other local supermarket today. Their maths skills are exemplary!

maybe they thought people would be confused by "42% price!"?

Thhhhhhaaaaaat explains all those folks standing around in the grocery counting their fingers ….

Why did i think Australia used the pound symbol?

Amazee Dayzee wrote:Why did i think Australia used the pound symbol?

Well, prior to 1966 we did!

I wouldn't know. I only watch UK soap operas.

Maybe it was 11.99 and they rounded down after the halfing?

So the pound ain't a pound the world around... ?

Maybe once the pound goes the way of the kilogram and standardizes better.

Sleet wrote:Maybe once the pound goes the way of the kilogram and standardizes better.

What are you talking about? It makes perfect sense! No standardisation needed!
One Aussie pound equals 240 Aussie pence or twenty Aussie shillings or ten Aussie florins. Perfectly logical, right?

.... and now my head is "pounding"

while exponents of 10 are far easier to keep track of, hence why the entire metric system is built on them, as are most variations of the dolar, (things like the major currency unit being exactly 100 of the minor one, or the term 'grand' meaning 1000 of the major unit) that's only half the problem with pounds. the other half is the british and the americans both still using the term as well, and both using it differently than you do. the American version isn't even money.

So its a bad idea to stay too long at a memorial tree park where you decorate a Christmas tree for a deceased loved one because the longer you stay, the more emoitonal you get.

.... and now we've got sparrows swooping in through the window. Sparrows with tiny bath towels. Gosh, saunas get weird sometimes.......

That sounds really sweet though.

Grief gives you permission, Dayzee. Condolences, friend......

Yeah well it doesn't help that the tree we picked at the park was next to a few that were trees of children that died young. Hard to pull yourself together when you read about a 3-year old who was taken too soon.

No, it isn't.... so letting go is okay.

Umm, don't want to be rude but… can I change the subject? Eh, who cares.
