@forAll52 it is extremely rude to not meow back at a cat who meows at you and when i am queen it will be mandated by law that you must respond in kind to every cat meowing at you
(also my dog isn't much one for barking 'conversationally' but i do totally hoot back at her)
@maple yeah it's been down for about 20, 25 minutes or so for me, stuck at connecting. twitter is similarly full of people screaming in terror, but they're on it, it looks like - https://status.discordapp.com/
@knifethievingcrow they were the company my high school went with for their laptop program... four years, and i never had a laptop that lasted the whole fucking schoolyear.
ok i think one did, but only because i was fine with typing around the pressure points of somebody's foot after they knocked my laptop bag down and stepped on it
BUT ALL THE REST, HARD DRIVES, EVERY TIME.
at least i never lost a major project in progress that way 😂 but yeah i'm still on the Fuck Acer train
@knifethievingcrow they're where i've bought my last, like, 3 laptops from, and i've gotten really nice deals each time.
(the only other advice i can think to give is that acer is the devil and i am still deeply prejudiced against their build quality. yeah it's cheap but it's gonna wear the fuck out. their monitors are ok but every thing with a hd i've had from them has busted in under a year. ASUS, though, is good! totally different brand, more solid build quality by far. but acER sucks.)
@knifethievingcrow i might actually be able to help you there!
newegg has a really robust search feature, and also stocks factory refurbished computers as well as has sales. they also cultivate reviews that are thorough, so you'll be able to get some good feedback.
i don't know if they do much international business, but if you're outside the US, you can at least use them as like a catalogue to narrow down what you might like and then look for those models more local to you. ^0^
i posted this picture of my superior organizing skills and overnight two of the hooks fell off
so uh.... i think i might try hooks UNDER the shelves... the adhesive on the hooks is rated for up to 25 pounds, but they're also bigger than the edge of that shelf...
worst case scenario i'll find some cute hooks that actually screw in to the got dam wall lmao
a hot take
like you know it's bad when i - She Of The Proud Mayonnaise Blood - notice this shit
so much of this is just a nice coat of Sassy Gay Best Friend whitewash over black culture. forgive me if i don't think the "but i promise i didn't actually SAY the n-word!" is insincere when i see somebody lip synching along to a Nicki Minaj song in drag makeup while his followers screech DRAG HER SIS! SNATCH THAT WEAVE!... there's a base level of respect just not there and present for black creators
listen i'm not all 'the south shall rise again' or that shit but i WILL say
if in the afterlife i meet general sherman
i will smack that man across the face for helping to make georgia a wasteland where passenger train service does not exist, even when it could absolutely be my preferred form of transport
@chaosonwheels23 luckily i don't get too much of that shit to my face
of course this may be because all of the old codgers i know most likely to spout that shit are my great-uncles who are all learning firsthand about the constraints of society when you ain't at 100% health
i haven't gloated openly at any of them but i probably have on occasion looked smug as hell
