Nori's favorite toys have been from dollar tree, cheap stuffed animals, discount scratch boxes, and my socks.... She steals my socks.

Scarlett's are these giant mice for dogs so she can pretend she is a great hunter (she just brings them to us and tells us to praise her) and any box she can loaf in. Oh, and insects, if one flies in the house it is hers and only hers xD buy her a toy and she'll look at you funny lol.

I could probably go somewhere in person but I'm out at university for a long time and want to be home so I am either hesitant to make stops or forget to make them 💀

Goose is a spoiled little boy. He doesn't like playing with toys, except little mice that squeak-squeak when you tap them. Whenever they stop squeak-squeaking, his heart is broken. The other cats will still play with it, but he needs the squeaks (spoiled)

I can't buy cardboard scratchers anymore because my dumb cat Button will piss on them. He has chronic UTIs or whatever so I also have to spend 55$ a month auto shipping his pee boy food

Heath is healthy and normal for the most part but he has so much energy and needs the jungle gyms to climb or or else he's everywhere he shouldn't be. I've bought many little jungle gyms for the cats and they all use them
Or cat trees I suppose

I get it. After having so many cats, I'm definitely going to stick to ONE next time

I love button and he's sweet but he's expensive as hell. He has allergies and pee problems. His medication costs 165$ for his allergies and then another 55$ for his special food
Honestly that bastard better be thankful I love him. It would be more beneficial to me to get rid of him and use that 230$ a month to start a retirement fund

I am not that mean, but did accidentally do something like that to a new girl....

A drawing will either start with me or come to me for checking. The group it comes from has a particular person I despise and I make it VERY known if I see any work that looks like his, I will treat the work as if he did it.

I was not told a new person had just come onto the team. They were not told how to properly do the work. I marked it up and was so cruel.... I was told she didn't understand what she did to deserve it bc half the things I marked up, she never looked at.

My boss just told her boss, "you should have checked it before sending it over." But, I still feel pretty crappy doing that to her on her first assignment.

Having lived on the edges of the social hierarchy, and mostly worked with international workers in Melbourne. It's given me a very harsh view of other Australians. Truthfully.

#

Because this sort of shit is everywhere with Australia

#

If they can get away with it, generally, they will. Because Australia is a lot more apathetic than people give them credit for.

#

And then most people will just blame foreigners for the way things are.

# deft python Hey! That sounds a lot like All the English speaking countries I've lived in!

It's absolutely fucked. This might get political, but Australian (and most Australians) absolutely refuse to see that racism towards Chinese people is really a thing. People take the modern American view of racism and apply it to themselves. Then they don't even look at the history of Australia, where literally every political event, from the defining point of a new nation, to the first strike, to fucking anything, had 'oh ya we hate Chinese people' grafted on.

You try to point it out in the modern day as a continuation of a century old pattern and you'll get shrugs.

I'm either tripping or making a connection

I don't have a lot/any friends irl and I think it's because I'm not "American" enough / from around here
I grew up in Canada and the UK before arriving here in my current state (we'll say southern US)
People will be polite to me/not rude about my existence, but nobody is really interested in actually hanging out, or pursuing a more meaningful relationship (friendship)
In class I'm often shoe-horned into people's group projects because nobody goes out of their way to pick me
I try to be a friend to others, but nobody wants to be a friend to me

My only friend irl is a French woman who moved to the US to be with her husband, and she has a similar experience (except unfortunately she gets the added bonus of racism because she is ethnically from northern Africa and was once Muslim, but is now a practicing Christian. People will assume the worst out of her though even though she's the sweetest person I've met)

Yeah it doesn't help that people have the audacity to claim to be a "small town" when we literally live in the middle of a metro, so from my understanding these folks are hanging out with the same 2-5 people they've been friends with since kindergarten

As a military brat it's strange seeing people being so cold / distance to someone who isn't from around here, since growing up in military schools has been like

"oh, so you're new? Where in tarnation did you blow in from?"

Depends on the fish. You want the water best suited to what their natural environment would be

A few things, you have some options.

  • pcpartspicker is a website that has PC building guides and basically allows you to build your own, and will recommend parts that will go with what you're getting. I used it when I built my current PC.

  • Microcenter is also a pretty neat place and they have professionals that will help you there too. Careful there though

  • Stay away from Alienware and razer products lmfao. Not worth the money for whatcha get

# grand falcon There's no argument They just have a bias for "self built computers" Even thou...

No? I'm gonna keep it real with you - I promise you I couldn't find a prebuilt that has the same specs my current build does.

If you're a guy who likes prebuilts, sure, I won't drag you for your preferences, man.

But I built my PC for the purpose of upgrading it and changing out parts as I feel like. My prebuilt that I got lasted a good while but I could not upgrade it the way I will be able to upgrade this one, you feel me? Everything in a prebuilt is pretty fixed...

grand falcon

Self Built is quite satisfying to be sure, and I prefer that generally, but my latest was a custom build as I just don't have the time to fuck around with it all, they did all the burn in testing, hardware checks and stuff for me, I chose the internal parts.
Where does that put me?

Digital Storm makes solid rigs

@sleek flume @grand falcon guys let's calm down and clarify ourselves here. I think what person is talking about is stuff like digitalstorm and main gear when they say "pre-built".

@icy yoke To answer your original question. prebuilts are (almost always) defined as crappy pcs bought on Amazon, Walmart, Bestbuy, and other retailers. They are usually pretty bad in manyy ways, including parts, part quality, build quality, and upgrade ability. Its not to say you have to build one yourself, as there are many companies that their whole thing is building custom PCs. Some at very little mark-up, such as Build Redux, that only charges a $75 build fee. (tho they do force Windows on you, so thats $100 extra)
