Rawk - Vagina Corp is right. You don't even want to imagine what the front door looks like!

Thread's over, folks. Go home.

Harrison Ford is in my local area here in the UK filming Indiana Jones 5. It's not that I mind or Loathe that, but right now all the local media, local social media output and practically everyone else I've encountered the last couple of days has been about the fact Harrison Ford is in town, and has anybody seen him.

It's mental.

That happened here back in March when Keanu Reeves was in town.

Indiana Jones 5 is going to be The Search for Indiana's Bones.

I get it, and agree.

Thank you for raising one of my all-time favorite shows.

It never ceases to amaze me just how willing some people are to display their rank stupidity online for all the world to see.

You would have thought I would have learned by now never to argue with idiots on the internet. Deary me.

(no of this is directed at anyone here, just a 'discussion' held elsewhere)

I resemble that rank often! You have offended my stupidity! I demand justice... or just ice cream.

Passing of an old friend. Don't know where else to put this.

We met when we were both aspiring roller derby refs. We were never close, but we always got along because we went to the same high school and both loved nerdy stuff. He'd often drop by my shmup streams when I was more active on Twitch, and he'd get really excited when I went up against the Axolotl boss!

We spoke a bit on Twitter, I knew he was going through some stuff. I didn't know what. He spoke a bit of his therapist, and when I stopped seeing him tweet, I genuinely just assumed he was told to take a social media break. I later saw his Facebook page was changed to "remembering H.G", and he was absolutely the sort of guy who would take a break and do that for a laugh. I didn't think anything of it.

He popped up on my facebook memories today, just an utterly silly comment about fixing my phone. I clicked on his profile on a whim, and saw the posts mourning his passing on what would have been his birthday.

He was only 38, I don't know what happened. He was genuinely such a fun guy, I miss him.

This is a very minor loath. Wound up reading something random. Enjoyed it a lot. Last released chapter is a cliffhanger...

Sorry for your loss Unicycle

Extended families can be so awful. I found out today that my step-grandfather died last month and nobody told me. He was my grandpa for 45 years. And my late dad's two brothers and a sister didn't think to contact me or my brother. Or they intentionally excluded us.

I thought I was numb and upset, but I keep getting more sad the more I write this. So I'm going to stop.

Sorry to hear that. I had something like that happen with my paternal grandmother, I think it was about 5-6 months afterwards when one of my cousins found me on Facebook and let me know. My dad had passed several years before that, and no one knew how to get in touch with our family anymore. I wasn't particularly close to her though, I'd only met her a couple times. I don't even believe she was there for my dad's funeral. So overall, I was just very apathetic.

I hate to put this out there, but if they intentionally excluded you then there's probably a reason, and that reason (in these circumstances) almost always involves money. Might be worth thinking about looking into how his assets were dispersed. When my other grandmother died I had a cousin chomping at the bit for a bite of that sweet inheritance, and it created a large divide in the family (well... divide as in her on one side, and all the rest of us on the other). She went so far as to threatening to sue my mom and uncle if they didn't sell the house faster (which would have been at a massive loss). She was actually banned from calling the local courthouse because she'd harassed so many staff trying to get someone to force them to sell faster. She became absolutely nuts.

With her, the only reason she got a chunk was because my grandparents never took her late father out of the will, so by law she and her brother were entitled to their dad's share, split between the two of them...

Similar thing happened to my grandfather a few years ago. His only living relative, his older sister that raised him, passed away and no one told him. He found out through a condolences card from relatives across the country. I am so sorry you have to go through this and weren’t given the time to grieve you deserve.

Thanks for the replies. I wish this was a rare thing but I see it's not. Sorry to hear about your experiences.

Sadly seems to be very common. We didn't learn that my great-uncle had passed until about 6 months after it happened and even then it wasn't any of his children that informed us. My mom wasn't very close to him because he was a mean old bastard, but still he was her uncle and he was the last member of his generation.

I don’t feel like going into work. I have to leave for work in 30 minutes.

Yeah. I really liked working from home. I was much less distracted and got more done and I enjoyed it a lot more. I also much preferred my own desk and computer to my work desk and computer. Unfortunately, they want everyone back in the office even if they have no need to be there.

I am in a lot of pain and just want to go to bed. I know I won't be able to sleep so I can either work in pain or sit around in pain. I want a big thunder storm to make up for this betrayal by my body.

Video games that don't load your audio settings before blasting you with loud music or annoying sounds.

Haha!! Yes!! Ironically, I did have to deal with a little twerp manager yesterday. That guy really tests my patience.

They are currently testing the fire alarm in my building at work. It is too early for this sh*t.

It's been super muggy and rainy here. Which is not exactly comfortable. Also I get a headache when it rains as well. Blah.

edit: Had a minor online social encounter where I basically had to say no after saying yes to a person. This was for a group activity. Not their fault or anyone's really just happenstance where it wouldn't work with them. I still feel bad over it though.

You know, after sitting for a year and a half, I wasn't expecting my car to actually start, but I was still disappointed when I turned the key and all the electricals instantly died.
