Random Rants OA - I Have 71 Problems, But This Thread Ain't One

My sciatica is flaring up pretty bad and I'm in a lot of pain. It's my own fault though, I haven't been using my standing desk and have had atrocious posture at work the last few weeks.

 

[Snerk]

Is it both sides or one particular?

 

[Cutlass]

Why is it that whenever I get an earworm, it's a song I dislike and don't want to hear?

 

[Synobun]

What song?

 

[Cutlass]

Different ones, different times. But always songs I never want to hear again.

They are like some types of pre-packaged food that are designed to taste as if they were nutritive but are ultimately highly pernicious for your body.

Old shoes fell apart prematurely, new shoes pinch the hell out of my left big toe. Is there anything I can do that doesn't cost money to stretch out the tip of a shoe?

Yes. Search for shoe stretcher on ebay and you'll find a bunch of devices that will stretch your shoes to fit. Ranging from dirt cheat to more costly. If it's leather you can also get a liquid that you'll apply to the selected area that will soften the leather and help it stretch. If your shoes are made out of synthetic materials then it won't stretch as much.

Woke up at 6 AM.

It hurts when I bite down, leading me to believe that my wisdom tooth is pushing a little harder against the molar's root.

My stomach won't stop gurgling.

My life trajectory is on the up finally but I feel like it's too late and I'm too old to change my life around

Lord, I hope not, you're only a couple years older than me!

It isn't too late. You're still a puppy.

 

[Tee Kay]

Lord, I hope not, you're only a couple years older than me!

Oh mate I sure hope not as well

On the face of it I have lots of reasons to be hopeful, and I'm sure I can fix things if I work really hard, but so much damage's already been done and so much time has already been wasted that I'm never going to get back, and I can't help but feel regretful, and regret is corrosive to hope.

Also how I feel about climate change

 

[Snerk]

That's how I feel about cookies.

I had that once. It was only a piece of chicken wedged between two teeth. Suggestion: floss.

I'd like to pay my credit card bill.
I attempted to log onto my bank's website, but it has a new system I no longer answer a security question; I now must retrieve a security code which they email me.
I went to my email account, which I found myself locked out of.

Delete all cookies from their website and then try to log in again?

Trader Joe's sriracha sauce kinda blows. I like Trader Joe's most of the time, but when it comes to sriracha, go Huy Fong or go home.

Every time I venture into the YouTube thread, I always expect it to have matured into a repository of just neat videos that may or may not spur on a laugh.

It's always conspiracy theories and political navel-gazing, though.

Allow me to provide my modest contribution to the thread.
