Random Rants LXXXIX: I HATE MOVING!

[amadeus]

Can you get a little cart?

I don’t have a driver’s license let alone anywhere to park it.

 

[Cutlass]

It's not nice to deliberately misunderstand Amy.

 

[amadeus]

They do sell those here but I just wouldn’t get a whole lot of use out of them. It’s pretty rare that I need to carry that much stuff since most days I’ll just drop in at the convenience store and pick up a few things.

However, the grocery store and the convenience store I go to are in opposite directions and sometimes I just don’t feel like making two stops, so that’s why I was hauling everything back from the grocer.

My sfather got stiffed. Due to this work-from-home crap he was forced to acquire (at his/our own expense) a new laptop computer.
First of all a bit of deceptive advertising of the technically legal type meant he got 1TB of HD space instead of 2TB.
Then, actually, the system included by the cheapskate manufacturer is Endless OS. Eurgh! It's a Linux-derived monstrosity created for mobile phones based on the requirements of people in a favela in Rio de Janeiro, which is actually fine for somebody who only needs a smartphone instead of an actual computer and won't actually need to install more software on top. We need to nuke the crap out of it. I offer my ready-made Linux Mint installer USB stick and it turns out that Endless OS is a Linux-derived piece of crap that actually prevents real Linuxes form being installed. We try a Windows installer stick and after a lot of wrangling, including deleting all existing partitions, we get some of it done… oh we need to complete registration (having at least one Windows partition was the end goal, because some software he needed for work requires Windows) and ah! we need teh Internetz. We look to plug in the new Ethernet cable (y'know, the WiFi was/is so bad that we drilled through walls over several days and had to shore things up with cement and paint and glue and set up the new network and so on) and it turns out the thing has no Ethernet ports.

RRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAGGGEEEE

 

[Farm Boy]

Ew.

 

[Synobun]

My new toothpaste hurts, so I'm just going to assume that means it's doing something useful.

Aih Syns, you should throw message to your Doctor, maybe it's not useful. When something is hurt, it may be a signal that your body want you to stop doing.

dem, that's sucks really bad, I really feel you there.

My body wants me to stop living?

Yeah, that makes sense actually.

 

[H4run]

Very close! It's a signal for self preservation and survival, which mean it's a sign that your body want to stay alive with you, I know sometime our body can be over-protective and reactive, our immune system can back-fire, but that's because they care about your existence too much, it's understandable because you are all they have.

 

[Takhisis]

We have gotten as far as getting a trial version of Windows to work on the thing but it still has a few minor defects on it. I hope that the sellers aren't going to try and claim that since we got rid of the OS for which they paid nothing then we cannot give the thing back and take a refund or a better computer (if necessary, paying for the difference).

My body wants me to stop living?

Yeah, that makes sense actually.

Just play videogames instead.

I was making a joke. The nature of my health makes it so that I haven't had a pain-free minute for 11 years now. If pain's a signal to stop, then my body's been trying to tell me something for quite some time.

 

[H4run]

You are so strong, I didn't know that is the reality. Get well soon bro I hope you will find the solution..

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

I've heard some stories about chronic pain patients who don't realize how bad the pain actually was until they find a treatment that works.

 

[Synobun]

You are so strong, I didn't know that is the reality. Get well soon bro I hope you will find the solution..

There isn't a solution. It'll be this way until the day I die.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Hey @Synsensa have you tried yoga and/or cannabis?????

 

[Synobun]

Hey @Synsensa have you tried yoga and/or cannabis?????

Who hasn't?

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

But a cousin of a friend of a sibling of a coworker of a niece of another friend had it work for them! You're not trying hard enough!!!!!!!

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

I think I might be laying it on a bit too thick.

 

[H4run]

You are fine Aimee We cannot actually feel him and his struggle, what we can do is like you try to make things easy and light for him.
