I will throw you out.Room party at gran's place, y'all.I've always hated that saying. I shouldn't have to hear your music/tv/conversation/whatever. Keep it to yourself. Otherwise you're being an a!&+~#%.If it's to loud you're too old.How I know I'm old:
If you play your bass where I can physically feel it shaking me from across the street, I hate you automatically.
No dislike. No seriously disagree.
Hatred. The same level I reserve for Nazis and people who don't hold the run button down in platformers.
He can't throw us all out!

I really don't get the hate about room parties. Our room parties were watching anime all night and cooking with the rice cooker and eating whatever we could and then passing out. We got security or what have you called on us for that but the people having very loud sex right next door? Nothing.I will throw you out.Room party at gran's place, y'all.I've always hated that saying. I shouldn't have to hear your music/tv/conversation/whatever. Keep it to yourself.

I go to a hotel to sleep. If you are making so much noise after 11:00 pm that I cannot sleep, I will call the front desk and complain. The reason people don't complain about loud sex is that it typically doesn't last as long as an anime marathon...
EDIT: The hotel we use for the high school Disneyland trip knows how to deal with it: All the large groups are put in one wing, and all the single-room occupants are in a separate wing. The only time we've had issues has been when either single-room occupants get put into the large-group wing because of booking issues, or when one of the large groups is so loud that the other groups have to come down on them. I'm looking at YOU, Disneyland cheerleading squad competition!
Thank you for calling honestly I hate the people that wait till the next day to complain instead of giving me a chance to kick out loud guests. I LOVE kicking out loud guests.

If I'm paying $60+ a night to stay somewhere, you'd best believe there's going to be debauchery.
Uh oh. Captain is one of THOSE guests. gran has a song for that.
Although honestly anyone paying just 60 for a room should expect to not get a good nights sleep. Like be happy if it is clean and has running water at that point.
Last night I dreamt I met Ambrosia Slaad again.Was it like my Lynora dream?
Sort of? She looked like her avatar pic -1, not like a tousled Asari.

My very favorite was the time, over twenty years ago now, when my uncle called down to the desk of the Hotel de Coronado to complain about "those young college kids upstairs raising hell and making the whole floor shake".
It was the Twenty-Nine Palms Earthquake.| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
XD Sir I'd like to apologize to you about the earth quake I will try to quiet it down for you..
You win this one. That is ridiculous. My best one is only someone who wanted a refund because they couldn't figure out how to use the AC.

I don't think you quite understand how debauchery works.
OK, this was an interesting scam: Someone used our credit card to sign up for TransUnion's credit reporting service.
Er... OK?
My guess is that they were trying to take out a loan using our credit information instead of theirs or something, but kind of funny calling the credit card company to report that someone running credit checks on you is a scam.

Speaking of loud and obnoxious, one of those oversized trucks with the massive diesel engine and completely overwhelmed muffler just drove down the street...
...setting off every car alarm on the street.
It seriously made the house shake.
And they weren't playing any music. They were just driving down the street.
Someone needs a visit from the sugar fairy.

After 2020, it just fits the habitual turning on of the internet everyday with words "computer, damage report!"
We have avoided martial law this last year around here when anti-government protests were at the verge of escalation.
And it wouldn't be the first martial law in my lifetime if it happened, though I don't remember the former.

That's probably a "rolling coal" protest, meant to 'own the libs'

Macho working-man arrogance? Or maybe just privileged stupidity.
(And jesus h christ, NPR reporters are still calling the rioting mob "protestors." What's the point of the 1A if the press won't call things what they are?)

I came very close to posting a gif online early this afternoon of orcs swarming into Moria, but changed my mind because I didn't feel it was appropriate.
Even *I* can't do gallows humor today.
Speaking of loud and obnoxious,** spoiler omitted **
Nah; it's Berkeley. We have a very large, very macho Latino population who compete with each other over owning the biggest, baddest, tallest, widest, loudest pickup in the whole wide land. It isn't a protest; it's a competition with all the other trucks around here.
But it was an interesting term I'd never heard before, so thanks!

I'm not in favor of gallows humor after today. I am, however, all for guillotine humor.
Speaking of loud and obnoxious, I had to call the police for the first time ever about a noise complaint/domestic issue a few days ago. Normally, I'm super cool about loud music(Hearing loud Tejano music from my neighbors has just been part of my life despite moving), the frequent parties, or even just the normal stomping around from my upstairs neighbors. A couple times before I heard them shout/the baby crying but I figured whatever it'll pass.
Well it got really bad to the point where I could make out pretty much their whole conversation despite the baby crying. Then they hurled something from the 2nd floor to the ground that was glass. I went up and knocked and they quieted down for like 10 minutes before starting up the screaming again. Well they got the picture after the cop showed up even if they didn't answer the door.
If I'm paying$60+ a nightto stay somewhere, you'd best believe there's going to be debauchery.
Close to my own thoughts!

"How do I freeze my credit reports?" on Google takes you straight to the FTC page on how to freeze your credit report, along with convenient links to all three major credit bureaus.
Then on each credit bureau page, there's a handy "Freeze my credit report" button that walks you through a few steps to prove your identity and BOOM!, within 5 minutes your credit report is frozen.
All in all I'd frozen both my and GothBard's credit reports with all three bureaus within half an hour of deciding to do it.
So yeah, whoever keeps getting my Amazon card number is obviously going to keep getting it, but at least they can't open any new accounts in my name.
(And yeah, we're breaking our shopping into "online general", "in person", and "subscriptions" on three separate cards to try to track down where we keep getting our number stolen.)

Drejk, how was Farcry Primal?
Drejk, how was Farcry Primal?
It was surprisingly good. The Far Cry game engine isn't particularly suited to melee combat, which is a must in certain moments, because you can only carry so much weapons to throw, but despite that game was fine. There were some tedious moments, especially the two final combats (priestess was worse) but it could have been expected. Getting sabretooth cat as soon as possible was a game changer (it scarred most wolves , dholes, and some other predators away saving me a lot of trouble when I was running around).
Thanks Drejk.

Watching a hilarious 'documentary' about ancient Sumer.
The whole topic of Mesopotamia is a super interesting topic in and of itself, but from the first episode it was sensationalist, with frequent snide remarks about academia and historical consensus. So I googled a review, almost couldn't believe what it said about the last episode, so I skipped ahead and yup! The culmination of the entire series is that aliens from outer space came to earth, interbred with prehistoric homo-species(or pre-lingual homo sapiens?) to produce us, specifically to use us to mine the gold they wanted, jumpstarted agriculture, writing, math, and everything else, and then...well I'm not quite done watching, I don't know if there will be a 'theory' about what happened to the 'shining ones.'
This watches like some college kid taking a history class got high and watched Stargate.

Ten months into parenthood in a few days. It's finally getting to that "please slow down the growing so I can enjoy this" phase (though if the slow down waits until potty training I can deal with that).
Also, it's become apparent we have an above average cute baby. This isn't a proud parent bragging thing; everywhere we go everyone comments on her (born with all her hair so she has very long for her age and is constantly confused for older). She can't make it through the grocery store without ten comments. (And she KNOWS how cute she is and plays it up waving and saying Hi to people after they mention she's cute.) And her mom is a very talented photographer, and has done a few semiprofessional sets.
So...we're thinking about driving to Miami and signing her up for some baby modeling.
She's also several months ahead of the curve, intellectually, according to her doctors. That IS proud parent bragging.
