If you need to B*tch about something... this is the place — Page 46

I hate to bring it up again, but that restoration of Children of Paradise is a crime against humanity. The transfer is completely indefensible; it may be just a video, but the film is so important that there is no excuse. They really went gung ho on the DNR, and it is painful for me that there will never be a good Blu-ray of that movie for years to come. I know this is a lame first world problem, but sometimes first world problems matter more than you think.

Since when have wealth and youth been remotely synonymous?

Yes but she's pretty girl.

Older men probably give her money.

I find it annoying when people use the word "dimension" as a synonym for "universe". A dimension is an aspect, attribute, feature, etc. of a universe, not a universe in and of itself.

Yeah but it can be the portal to or constituent part of another universe.

There may well be other four dimensional realms like the one we register with our senses but the they are four other dimensions which we could only get to via another dimension.

Travel through another a dimension could lead us into another universe with other dimensions.

Strictly the use of the word universe is wrong.

Universe means everything.

So what you are saying is other everythings.

What people call the multiverse should really be called The Universe and what is referred to as divergent, parallel or other universes should be referred to as alternate planes of existence.

I'm sorry okay?

Litter anywhere is bad enough, but how I fucking hate people who throw their trash in national parks, state forests and nature reserves. Most of these places don't have waste management services; if there aren't any bins, too bad. Take your damn rubbish with you.

I do have one exception: train stations that have idiotically removed all their bins. Then I'll throw that shit anywhere just to teach them a lesson.

DOUBLE STANDARDS!

More Ebay woes.

I ordered a series 2 disc set of the post 2005 Doctor Who, the payment kept bouncing back as the lady selling it hadn't put her paypal details in correctly, I emailed her about it three times but no answer and finally I had to ring her up (using the special filter so my voice can actually be heard by human ears without them bursting into flames) when it arrived it was without the slip cover so all the discs can fall out if you forget to put your hand behind the box when you take it off the shelf.

There was no mention of this in the listing so I've sent her an email (which she probably wont read).

Meanwhile I sold some items recently and to encourage interest I deliberately uncut the postage on the items I listed.

Silly idiot me.

We have been having terrible weather recently so some of the items I posted are arriving out of sync (items posted later arriving before items posted earlier) and it seems the chap who paid for one item hasn't yet received his.

Rather than emailing me first he opened a case which is a serious hassle and can result in some nasty feedback issues.

The item cost him £0.01 and £2 postage (it cost me £2.10 to post it) and now I may have refund that to him if he insists that the post office didn't deliver the item.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

^Have a taco!

:p

NoScript keeps filtering a potential cross-site scripting (XSS) attempt from...something here.  Probably ads.

In a similar vein to Leonardo's last b*tch...

I changed jobs a few months ago, and stayed in touch with one of my female coworkers. We grabbed some beers together a few times, and she'd text me pretty much daily. One evening while pretty drunk we hooked up, both said it was a mistake the next day, and everything went back to normal and seemed good. She continued texting me like usual, would vent to me when she needed someone to vent to, and frequently mentioned how great it is having a friend like me. She was actually kind of emotionally draining a lot of the time, but I did appreciate the friendship to some degree.

Ran into one of my other former coworkers two days ago, and found out I've been the subject of some pretty major gossip in my former place of work going on well over a month now. Some really bizarre sounding gossip too! Apparently the entire workplace knows about our accidental hook up, and a bunch of other really weird stuff that never happened, including me being a bit of a sleaze bag and constantly trying to get her best friend to sleep with me (only hung out with her and her best friend a couple of times, I'm not attracted to her at all, and she's married; I'd never even consider it).

Was pretty disappointed to discover someone who I thought was a pretty close friend had been telling everyone some pretty warped stuff about me behind my back, while communicating with me on friendly terms regularly. I told her just the tip of the iceberg of the stuff I heard, she asked me who told me, told her I couldn't tell her, and she told me that if I wouldn't tell her then I can just stop talking to her, to which I replied, "Sounds like a deal to me".

Feel like I invested a lot into this person. A couple of times when she really needed me for something, I was there at the drop of a hat. Turns out she was totally not worth my time. Who does that? Tells you what a great influence you are in their life, and how wonderful of a friend you are; while telling your old friends extremely unflattering made up things about you?

Feels good to get that off my chest. And it has been nice not waking up every morning with 10 - 15 unread text messaged on my phone all from the same person.

damn, sorry to hear that C3PS.   That woman should be ashamed of herself. 

It's a pain in the ass watching a video online that plays faster than it can load.

What is this, 2008?

:p

Sometimes.

BC or AD?

Sometimes.

I'm not falling for that one.
