I hate how fanatics has taken over all sports commerce. It seems impossible to buy a jersey or shirt without going through them.

People who come into a room, see that someone's sleeping, and just... continue talking like the person who just got startled awake is actually functioning enough to listen? What happened to "Oh sorry I woke you up" and leaving? ugh.

Forgot my keys in the garage.
Which is locked by key tag.
Which I have in my keyring.

Ok, so there are maybe 100 occupied spaces, so I didn't have to wait too long before someone else was entering.
I felt pretty, pretty dumb.

Just got home, was about to watch Raw on sportsnet, only this week's episode is not there. Trying to find info but I guess it got preempted by some other sports crap. The thing is, I'm paying for a network, where's my damn Raw? It'll be nice when it goes to Netflix so I don't have to worry about it being preempted by sports I don't care about.

Just deleted FB, after 15 years people anonymously being shit human beings to one another. It’s just gross, it’s not even just politics but that seems to be the catalyst for a lot of it. But almost ever group I’ve followed just gets stained by people happy to be assholes to one another. I hate that a Sopranos group, Simpsons meme group or a beer group needs to be a part wasteland for shit behavior.
It’s like a world full of people who don’t feel compelled to return their shopping carts.

I haven't used Facebook regularly since the pandemic. It felt like it was ground zero for all sorts of misinformation, doom posting, and anti-science idiocy. Even moreso than Twitter at the time, which is saying something.

In my own case, I stopped scrolling down the timeline though I'm only active wishing "happy birthday" on their birthdays. I know it means nothing to some people but that's just me who feels birthdays are am important day.

Facebook is rubbish. I still have it but I disengaged some years ago, my account exists largely to maintain contact with a small handful of people.
Today I travelled two and a half hours from London to Worcester for a game of cricket. The forecast was dry, but the moment I stepped out of the station it started raining.

I swear on Facebook i must've liked a photo of a cute cat on a page run by someone who i wouldn't want to follow normally because now my timeline is full of stuff i would rather not see.
Also work made a decision about something that i knew wouldn't work and i told them the main issue why it wouldn't work and they went ahead with it anyway. Sure enough the exact issue i knew was going to happen has happened and now they want to throw more money at it without actually sorting out the problem.

I wish I was kidding but he will literally wake me up at 1:00am to talk about a political video he saw.

Thankfully this hasn't happened in years now. Put on a movie for them to watch "Look i've been awake 2 1/2 days i am crashing out DO NOT WAKE Me up unless omeone dies or the palce is on FIRE. Are you sure you know how to get the tv back from the blu ray player to dish." Get told yes and they show me they can do it. Go lay down. 1 hour 39 minutes later after the movie is over loud knock at my door. "HEY TV AINT WORKING" |

Yea then get asked if the new 4k player works like the "VHs disc player" hey at least got him to include disc in it instead of calling dvds and blu rays tapes.... Go out show him that yea it does and same brand as the last 2 blu ray players so remote is the same pretty much. Then he had a Jason Statham Mechanic double feature. Hey he knocked softly and was cool about it all. Improvement. |

Logged onto my internet providers website today and was looking at plans. Turns out my current plan is being advertised as costing $13/month less than I am paying. The plan that is twice as fast is $3/month less than I am paying. I have been paying this price for almost a year and never once did they indicate that I could be getting the same service for less. I know that all internet providers/cell phone services are bastards, but still. So now I'm gonna have internet up to twice as fast for $3 plus tax less per month.

More annoyed than angry but someone went and got themselves a girlfriend and now everyone in that fandom feels the need to put their thoughts out about it/her, and it's the most tedious thing. Sigh.

The Daily Mail write much nonsense I can't talk about here but today's back page was a classic, critising an olympic athlete suplementing their very average sports wage with only fans. Not x rated either, just underwear shots or the equivalent.
The athlete in question? A male diver. A sport where he competes in tiny trunks.
What a ridicolous non story, at least he might get some new subscribers out of it.

Their paper is worth as much a toilet paper. That along with The Sun are the shit of UK-based journalism |
