Wonder Woman is pretty much DC's last chance. Especially with the major fumble of having Jason Momoa playing fucking Aquaman instead of Lobo.
You could always get Danny Trejo to play Lobo.
...well now this must happen and I will accept no other actor as Lobo ever.
Couple months ago, a coworker and I built out a sort of 'database' of replies for the CS/Tier 1 team to use. I say 'database' because it was just a notebook in OneNote they could reference for these macros. Responses for standard/common tickets they could copy and paste and edit rather than type up from scratch every single time.
We did this as a volunteer thing, in between our own tickets. We never got thanks. We never expected it. We mostly did it because we got sick of being asked the same things over and over by people ("What do I tell people who want to change their username?" "What do we tell people who want spoilers on upcoming card releases?") .
Today, management drops the bomb on us: "We don't like that you used OneNote, so we need you to rebuild it in a GoogleDoc using this layout we designed. ASAP."
Thanks, guys. Really. Just great. Super awesome. Thanks for the reminder why I never, ever do anything nice for a job anymore.
I'm not sure this is so much a 'thing I love,' but it's not anger so much.
I play in an RL TT (well, semi-RL, as we play via Google Hangouts, since we live around the country)... Our ST runs a podcast and he edits the gameplay into a podcast (we only play once a month anyway). So you can listen to our sessions.
...I didn't realize he also shares them to various WoD groups on FB until today. Which means I have no idea how many people have been listening to our Vampire and... now Changeling sessions.
Like oh god I am even more glad I talked him out of his desire to make it a video recording.

We need to be friends. We can geek out over nail polish -- also I suppose I need to be his friend.
I do need someone who can paint my toenails for me. My boobs get in the way.

@Arkandel I'm tempted to read the book after episode 4, but I've already read that they made some changes between the show and the book.
Read the book.
Read it.
Go.
I wish we could come up with new terms for different types of PTSD.
I have suffered from two types. Emotional PTSD and something closer to what we think of with combat vets ('physical' PTSD? I don't know; I described the sensations with it to a combat vet once and he said it's almost exactly what he's experienced).
The two aren't the same. But we use the same term. And I think that's part of the problem.
They're no less valid, they are no less difficult to live with, but they are very different.
@Admiral
Man, fuck that noise.
When I worked at the bowling alley, a girl came in once with a little dog. I asked. She said it was a service dog for seizures, happily (& promptly!) showed documentation.
She became a regular. And one day? That dog did provide advance warning for a seizure that allowed her friends to call an ambulance for.
So fuck people that try to abuse that shit.
On a different topic:
fuck migraines fuck migraines fuck migraines fuck migraines
Not personal RL anger, but more on behalf of this poor guy:

How come these have not gone the way of the drive in movie (yes I know some are around but they are now a novelty).
There is no substitute for watching Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 on a screen that is roughly double the size of my house's walls in a comfy chair away from my children.
Not all of us can afford surround sound. Or have a nice TV.
Or want, like Gany said, a night away from kids.
If, for some reason, I want to see 3D, IMAX 3D is the only one I can see without intense migraines (or was, prior to this current migraine misery I'm experiencing).
There's plenty of reasons for theaters.

@Catsmeow has taken a vested interest in your sex life.
Just a few days ago, my friend was talking confidently about the new treatment plan for her cancer.
She passed away yesterday.
Fuck cancer.
So much of it is fucking useless.
I did actually, on the last one, answer 'This has absolutely no bearing on this story.' to a few of the questions. I still got 100 on the bio, so I'm wondering if the instructor even read through the whole thing or just skimmed it. Like so long as you wrote more than 'No' or 'N/A' and it appeared to be a complete sentence...
A lot of the questions are also redundant. You get asked, at least twice, about things like their physical appearance and the like. Just rephrased.
For 'security' the parent company of my client super-locked down access to admin portals. Which lost us our access to do a very core component of our job.
The client has supposedly been fighting for us to get our access back.
For five months.
Supposedly.
And now they're annoyed at us asking them to perform tasks for us.
That we can't do.
Like maybe if you guys would get us our access back we wouldn't have to ask you to perform these tasks?
Just a thought.
So, sharing this here... Gaming podcast my buddy runs. One of the things he posts is the (edited) audio from our (once-a-month) oWoD gaming sessions: https://criticalhints.wordpress.com/
Today's is the CG for our next (Vampire) game. Dunno if that's up anyone's alley (listening to a group of people play TT...). You can hear me be an ADD mess once a month, yay! >.>
@HelloProject
I can't blame you, at all. You do what you gotta do to process. Pets are a part of the family, man.

Tattoo!!
I got my first one tonight and my sister got one too. This is super huge as we haven't been close for so many years. It was her first one and we got the same thing (but altered colors) and the same location.
Also, the pain wasn't as bad as I thought.
The most important question: Are. They. Cats.
I was just thinking last night about my planned cat tattoo and how I want to get it soon.
I may actually put my origami crane tattoo on hold to get the cat instead, tbh.
