The First World Whinging Thread

I know, right? In order to get the best sound when Alexa plays music, she's on a bookshelf where she can't hear me when I shout instructions to her from the couch or my desk...which means I need a secondary Echo device if I don't want to stand up and walk halfway across the room to shout at her to do something or do it myself.

 

Or a megaphone so you can bellow at Alexa within her little wooden cave.

 

Dim-wittery and ignorance . . .oh wait, these are all-world problems . . . my bad

 

It's "girl, my Lord", and I don't think anything will defeat Cave and Flod. "... so take it eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezy..."

 

Makes me think of The Eagles



I've only just seen that it mentions Winslow Arizona in the lyrics!

 

Well played, sir!

 

Winslow isn’t much to see, however, girls in flatbeds notwithstanding.

 

Brings a whole new meaning to:" Do you like 'em hott, or do you like them hot? "

 

with bbq sauce!

 

The alerts on this forum are so annoying. Why do they all get marked as read after you open up the alerts window? How the fuck are you supposed to know which ones you have checked on when it does that? They should stay unread until you click on them

 

This is a little too broad for just Sci-fi.

Prob. more of an in general, but still applicable to modern Sci-fi.
Battle hardened soldiers that are smoother than a baby's ass.
Really? Survive 3 wars against a planet of lotion? Scars and missing
limbs/prosthetic limbs make more sense.

I am sorry, but if your best warrior/soldier doesn't look like a bear
fucked a gator in an Iron Maiden, then they are clearly either a
pilot or are not your best.

Just saying, and since they can't all be pilots...

 

I have fought many battles in the Hand Lotion War. I fought hand-to-hand. Hand-to-sword. Sometimes even sword-to-sword. But always lotion. So much lotion.

 

.

 

Every. Single. Time.

 

Yes, but don't worry. That wears off after a while.

 

supple... senschuous...

 

I convinced myself I really needed to go to martial arts training tonight because I'm trying to get into shape. Dragged myself out into the 34° weather for the 20 min walk there. Arrived, already soaked with sweat. They're closed today. *groan*
Friends then asked if I'd be joining them in the pub tonight. Had the time now but no discipline to pass on the burgers and cider once I'm there, so I declined. Trying to lose weight and all. *grooan*
Decided to make a detour to the grocery store on the way back and treat myself to a nice, fat watermelon to make up for this horrid evening. They were out of melons. Had to settle for grapes. *groooaan*

 

I hate that due to cost, I have to chose between typing, music, or video calls!

 

Skype is free! Video calls all day...

 

It is something other than that.
