@Auspice I thought so, about the PB cups. I bought a bag for halloween and they seemed off.
Right?!
I have some from Halloween and they just aren't right.
But I'd gotten some back at easter and they were still just as good as ever.
@Macha said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:
@Auspice There are fucking caramel M&Ms? - clearly not someone who lurks in the candy aisle.
I know about all kinds of M&Ms because of my coworker and all the candy she has out. There's the normal, the peanut, peanut butter, caramel, 'cripsy,' mint, coconut... Some are seasonal, but yeah.
Speaking of peanut butter: she and I both dislike reese cups these days. Like something CHANGED in the past year in the formula, right? They just don't taste right anymore.
Finally sitting down to start reading and....

Clearly you have not yet tried the Caramel ones!
I have.
They just didn't do it for me the way the PB ones do.

DEAR ASSOCIATE:
If you're actually sick this often, you should probably go to a doctor; it's concerning. However, since you always seem to be getting sick either the day before or after one of your days off, I might suspect that you're just a lazy malingering asshole who expects other people to pick up the slack or stay late whenever you're not feeling like working. (And since you're a 21-y-o kid who lives in your mom's house, I genuinely suspect you might not be aware that "job" means "you have to go even if you're not feeling it.")
I worked with a guy like this once. 21. Never showed up to his Friday shifts.
Acted all shocked and confused when I called him out on it and how I was sick of working his hours.
"But my friends ask me out. What am I supposed to do, tell them no?"
Yes. Yes you are.
@Alamias said in Geeky Collections:
@Jaded I used to have one of the original Batman (Keaton) movie display stands, but that was back when I was in high school and had no idea about 'collections' like that. Sadly it is long gone.
I'm in a similar boat.
My father gave me an original theater use poster for Empire Strikes Back when I was about 15 but I didn't know well enough how to care for it and it got damaged when I moved out.
Sad for both the poster and it being the only time my father ever picked out a suitable gift for me. (My mother only became okay at it once I was an adult.)
@Jaded said in Geeky Collections:
I do not own the space to put them up so I don't have a picture, but one of the collections I have is comprised of ~290 movie posters from between 1979 to 2012; and one large "poster" I saved from Blockbuster that is in 8 parts because it was a large window display poster.
OK. That's a p awesome collection.
@TiredEwok said in Geeky Collections:
I love those shelves. And your collection!
While those shelves are not why I chose the apartment I did (price was absolutely why), they were very much a major perk.
These shelves contain the majority of my stuff. My bookshelves have a couple odds and ends, but this does have the entirety of my playing card collection (minus what's in this or that backpack or purse).
In the time Caine is gone, the 13 Vampires created by his childer murder his childer, create more and more Vampires, who create more and more Vampires and start a war among themselves to decide who has the best hair. Nosferatu loses.
@Roz said in The Work Thread:
@Auspice Really if you have to toggle that it usually just means your templates are inadequate.
I do not disagree, but unfortunately corporate life often means 'too bad, work within the framework of what we have.'
<insert long stare at the publishing suite I have to use for this training guide.>
@Roz said in The Work Thread:
lol god fml there was a checkbox to not make automatic paragraphs in the WYSIWYG editor in order to manually make alignments work
I have such a love/hate with WYSIWYG.
On the one hand: convenience.
On the other hand: toggles like that.
@Coin said in Favorite Words:
I like ephemeral but I hate how they used it in nWoD/CofD.
It feels like someone wanted to say ethereal, got it confused with ephemeral, and no one else said anything.
I mean. Their use of 'Auspice' is also weird. I get it ('born under the auspices of...') but I also don't get it because it feels so arbitrary.
@Coin said in Favorite Words:
Eldritch
Along with eldritch, I like ephemeral. The two fit together for me somehow.
I also love words with 'ae.'
Aegis.
Aesthetic.
Vitae.
Aether.
Jaeger.

Idea: When the new Predator game comes out on PS4, we get a group of MUers together and play.

@Pandora said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:
I want downvotes back, god damn it!
Failing that, I'll accept a Facebook style emoji selection, for those times I want to
at you people even if I don't agree or disagree.
Unfortunately, so long as nodebb's structure is such that too many downvotes mean you can no longer post... I don't see it ever coming back.
Because someone did (and has told me they'd do it again if they got the chance) once spend the time downvoting everything someone did until they couldn't post anymore.
