Last night, I got sick after eating marinated pork belly, fried in avocado oil, and white rice. Too bad, because it was an authentic Korean meal I made and now I have to throw away what's left so I don't throw up again.

A thing that really pisses me off is when I'm trying to enjoy smoking a cigarette in the town when waiting for my bus to arrive so I can go home but strangers come along looking for a smoke of my cigarette. Even though I tell them it's my last cigarette they won't go away until I end up giving them the cigarette after only having a few puffs ffs. They start to get a bit aggressive when I refuse to give the cigaratte to them. They should buy their own cigarettes ffs. The guy looking for my cigarette today said that I looked vulnerable and that I looked like I was on anti-psychotic medication judging by my movements. Then he was saying he'd walk me home even though I told him I was waiting for my bus. Looking to shake my hand a few times and looking for me to hug him. Thought he was a bit weird, he was saying that God loves me and **** too.

Glad to hear you're fine.

Most houses in Ireland don't have basements so more than likely his shed

You do get some strange people where I live, some random guy asked me if I had a lighter on me but I said to him that I didn't then he accused me of taking a lighter out of my pocket to light a cigarette even though I actually didn't even have a lighter or a cigarette on me at that time He looked like he was high at the time, he was probably tripping. Some drunk guy grabbed a bottle of juice out my shopping bag one time too and I snatched the drink back out of his hand then he walks off ranting about me making me out to be the bad one

lol Yeah, that's why I included shed, wasn't sure about the basement situation.


Hope women around there carry pepper spray or something if legal, that stuff is creepy. Can't get over the "walk you home" guy.

I never really hear of women carrying pepper spray where I live tbh I hope I don't bump into that guy again when I'm in the town. I've even had drunk guys hugging me saying that they're not gay because of them giving me a hug, it's just a hug and even if they were gay I don't mind I used to hug people all the time when I was drunk. When I was waiting for the bus a few weeks ago at the bus station too there was some drunk guy chatting to some Spanish girl, he kept saying he wasn't a pervert even though he kept calling her beautiful I don't know how many times. He said that he had a wife and kid to her. Thought he was a bit weird too then when she was leaving he kept singing the chorus from that 'James Blunt - You're Beautiful' song to her. He then asked me to sit beside him. No ****ing way, it was a good thing my bus pulled into the station when he wanted me to sit beside him. He looked like he was in his 60's. He was getting pissed at me for not sititng beside him on the bench.

You find all the weirdos. Is this bus stop outside of a bar? Crack house maybe? lol Careful out there. (Edit: Or I dunno, ask for a selfie and see how they react. lol)



Grind... Sister uses those wifi puck things to piggyback off our mom's internet. Connection in her addition on the property went down yesterday, so she'd come over here to screw with and restart the modem.

Figures that when everything else was back online and fine... MY computer's wifi utterly shat itself. A 24 hour ordeal (okay I didn't work on it for 24 hours) of trying to figure out why a connection that WAS just fine prior now refused. The adapter was recognizing ours and other close networks, so it couldn't be completely dead, but refused to connect. Plus when restarting the modem it would connect for a few min before dropping again.

Dug out a disk for it I never had to use from the start, but hopefully that seems to have fixed a diver or soemthing. But what a pain in the ass.

There's three bars close to the bus stop Don't know how people don't get sick of the drink. I haven't touched it in 12 years but I still crave for it surprisingly despite not missing the hangovers and making a fool of myself in the states I used to get in

Someone hacked my food stamp account last Saturday. I checked the balance on my food card just before going to the grocery store and it said that my SNAP balance is $4.09 instead of the $277 I was expecting. I had the phone's answer system check the latest 10 food transactions and it appears that someone in Florida purchased $272 worth of food with my information. I had the operator cancel the card and he's sending me a replacement card, which will come in 2 weeks. I told my mom about what happened and she gave me $150 in cash to spend at the grocery store today.

This just pisses me off, because instead of applying for food stamps, someone stole my information from another state!

[IndigoErth]

Wow, that is LOW to go take from some other needy person like that. Some people really should stop taking up space in the world, like that one.

Glad it sounds like it wasn't hard to just get the card canceled and a new one coming. Goodness knows what a pain in the ass social services can be to interact with.




Grind... toaster oven door burns. Been a long time since it last got me. Those things may be a nice convivence over running the full oven, and the burn doesn't look like much, but damn those suckers hurt when they get you on that hot metal or glass.


Edit: How dare they discontinue the Spagetti O's with franks.

Sorry to hear that, I hate thieving scum. Some scumbag stole £3400 on me near enough 3 years ago. It's really sickening knowing the vermin is still breathing, don't know how that ****er hasn't been put in the ground yet because he stole from other people too

Sounds painful, hope you're ok.

[IndigoErth]

Yeah, it blistered up for a couple days, but now just a painless cooked spot I guess until it eventually peels.



Grind... ew, got Netflix new interface and hate it. Feels so much slower to even look through it. And where the heck is the easy to find New & Coming Soon.


9/22 -- WHY is Imgur's image editor (through browser) so horrible now? The old one worked great. This one? Damned if I can find an option to still resize images. What a crazy idea anyone would want to do that. Then there is the "cropping" that seems to leave a white background I can't take out. Am I blind and unable to see how this works, or is it really just garbage now...

[IndigoErth]

Sitting in the dark for almost 2 hours after the power went out. Fire company's log mentioned a nearby "electrical hazard."

But never in my life have I seen things that are turned off try to act like they're freaking haunted. When a cordless vacuum acts as if it's being turned on and off repeatedly... wtf. At that time, only the night lights were back on, nothing else. (Super weak current?) Little bit later I hear a clicking then whirring noise. My freaking DVD/Blu-ray player was now "haunted." Light by PC had also came on dim and flickering, as well as something else unidentified making a high pitched sound. Turned that light off and seemingly at the same time the night lights aslo went back out.

Just dark and quiet ever since... But that vacuum just about made me piss myself. Hell no, not the time to act haunted.

Twitter has banned me, I have no idea why It was working fine yesterday evening then when I went on it last night I got a message saying that I've been permanently banned for breaking their rules I wasn't aware that I was breaking any rules. I appealed it but I won't get my hopes up, I enjoyed talking to other TMNT and horror fans on there so it's pissing me off a bit I seen other people saying that Twitter suspended their accounts too. I even got a warning message on Instagram one time too that they would ban me, all I did was tell someone that the pictures they posted on Instagram were nice, how the hell is that breaking any rules? Reddit even banned me, saying that I was spreading hate speech... what? What the hell is going on with social media? Facebook is the only one I seem to never have problems with.

[CyberCubed]

What did you do? Twitter even allows people to post racist stuff and not get banned.

[Zulithe]

Move to bluesky or threads.

I prefer bluesky though. Threads is a bit busier for now but I think bluesky has a chance to win that audience in the end.

The way things are going with Twitter, it isn't going to exist in its current incarnation for much longer anyway. It's hemorrhaging money like nothing else out there.

[IndigoErth]

Twitter? The site a Musk Ox bought to let terrible people have their accounts back? What, were you accidently the most terrible person across the entire global internet for a second? lol

Ironic that they'd ban anyone anymore and for seemingly no reason...

I'm trying to figure it out, I still can't get on. One of the people I usually chat to on Twitter also has a Tumblr account and he told me that he couldn't understand it either that I never posted anything offensive. I would talk about horror movies and my favourite kills in the movies but a lot of horror fans did that This is a mystery to me. Someone had put up a post about being pissed off with people who say "I'm so OCD about this." and that they don't really have OCD then I was agreeing with her.

I might give Bluesky a try, one of my friends from Twitter recommended it to me.

I read online that they've banned people's accounts for posting too much on it that they see them as spammers. When I was reading through the rules it said that they could ban you if they think your account was hacked. I used Twitter on the computer in my mother's house, some times I would use it on my phone, I'd use it on my uncle's iPad and then I'd use it on my computer in my dad's house. Any time I'd log in using a different device they would bring up a message about my account being logged into with a different device and that they suspect that my account was hacked.

I had taken videos with my phone of parts of episodes of the TMNT series I was watching on my TV and uploaded them to Twitter. Would that have counted as breaking rules? Then again I've seen plenty of people put up videos they took of shows they were watching on TV.

I had self-harmed when my OCD was really bad and I talked about it to people on Twitter who suffer from OCD too. One of the rules on Twitter was not to encourage self-harm, would they have thought I was encouraging others to self-harm?

I was checking out Reddit and it appears other people are having a similar problem to me. Someone said he got suspended for making a joke comment about strangling his friend for making some comment. Twitter thought he was being serious about strangling his friend. My younger brother said that there were a bunch of people being suspended too because Twitter thought their comments were offensive.

There was a 2 minutes and 20 seconds limit on videos that could be uploaded to Twitter if you have a basic account. I had downloaded videos from YouTube of TV/movie scenes and used a video editor to cut out bits so I could make the length of the video 2 minutes and 20 seconds.

I had put up a GIF from Terrifier 3 too, I know people are offended by that movie. I'm not sure what else to think of.

There was a guy claiming to be Elon Musk sending me DM's on Twitter asking me details about myself and I ignored whoever it was and I think he got annoyed. I doubt the real him would even give a **** about talking to me.

I'm going through a list of possible reasons in my head but I'm baffled by it. It's driving my OCD nuts too over thinking it.

[IndigoErth]

That sucks. Can send a message to a mod or something on Reddit about it? Or make a new Reddit account? Twitter, I dunno if it's even worth it anymore.





Slight grind... Anyone else notice this forum periodically not working lately? Sometimes it won't load or submit and I have to just stop and let it sit for a bit and check back to submit something. Not doing it constantly, but way more often than usual.
