@Arkandel Since the 13 year old doesn't have a phone right now, he has no account with which to play Pokemon. Hence the threat to give it to him.
@Auspice Look at my post, hun. Second sentence. Both boys are teenagers, and thus do not require parental controlled accounts.

It's been a long week.

No worries, just figured I'd point it out now before it becomes a bone of contention!

That day you're crying your fucking eyes out while writing wiki code, I've just had it.
The worst part being that I'm pretty goddamned sure I am the only one who has ever had this day, and the phrasing above is more optimistic than it should be right now. Which is bad, because the optimism is circling the drain as it is.
Oh fucking well.

Just remember that you're the only one that can likely get the code to work. Success here sounds like it's yours alone. If the code doesn't work, that's hardly your fault. No one should fault you for lack of effort.

@Ganymede Isn't that. It's one of those 'I am going to be doing a lot of typing and there's going to be a rant at someone who doesn't necessarily deserve it or there will be wiki code'. There should always be wiki code, because... self-control.

People who expect you to constantly, vocally be grateful to them. I get less and less grateful each time.

Worse when they're the sort of person who never shows gratitude themselves.
I'm sorry, VK. It always sucks.

I think we need an 'RL Sucks' thread, but this comes close enough.
I just want the next couple weeks to be done with.
Sunday was my one day off after working 7 days. I spent it dealing with a headcold (that has cleared a bit, but not wholly).
Tomorrow I move.
Class started this week (thankfully all online, but still).
Saturday I'm helping run a game at PAX.Then Sunday begins another 7 day stretch of work.
I wish I could go to bed and wake up on September 15th with everything taken care of.

That moment that you finally find an actual, unexpected solution to something someone wanted! And it's actually awesome and you're super excited!
...and it's absolutely about five months too late for it to matter.
(Wherever you are, Steele@BITN, I finally found a way to re-order contacts super easily? ...yay?)
<sigh>
Oh fucking well.

@surreality Message passed along.

@Miss-Demeanor Thank you, you rock.
Send him this link to pass along to anyone who runs into this again, if you can?
Have tested, does work. Is fucking epic.
Oh fucking well.

@surreality Done!

On the topic of things I hate: scotch drinkers.
I mean, yes, I hate scotch. I've never tasted a scotch in my life that didn't taste like glorified, overpriced cough syrup, only without the benefits that cough syrup brings. But hey, that's OK, there's loads of drinks (and foods) I don't like. It's not scotch's fault that the flavours it brings to the table make me stare at it with a "WTF!?" expression. It's just not to my taste.
But scotch drinkers? Yeah, their obnoxiousness is pretty much 100% their own fault. When faced with someone like me, someone who has a well-developed palate, someone who shares with scotch drinkers a taste for increasingly expensive (and obscure) hooch, and yet someone who hates their drink of choice, they seem to suffer an immediate, crippling aneurism that makes them suddenly act like gibbons on crack.
"How could you not like scotch?" "I just don't." "You've never tried Dhomhnuillaonghascaimbeulfhearghuis single malt, obviously!" "Probably not. I won't like it though." "Well, if you're not going to keep an open mind!"Motherfucker, I've had scotches foisted off on my by scotch-drinking former friends (yes, that is a fucking warning!) for thirty fucking years. How many more years of this shit do I have to try before I'm permitted to decide I don't like your filthy, watered-down, ineffective cough syrup?
We really need an alternative version of the it's ok that says "it's OK to like things, just don't be a dick about it". And then we need to force every motherfucking scotch drinker in the world to sit down and watch it for 17 hours straight in the (undoubtedly vain) hope that the message sinks in.

This reminded me of a comedian's bit where he excoriates people who demand open-mindedness.
"Have you ever had your dick crushed by a hammer?"
"God, no."
"You should try it."
"Fuck, no."
"Well, if you're not going to keep an open mind -- !"I also dislike scotch. Ugh. I like bourbon, though.
