stupid first world problems you're dealing with

Trying to design a page in dreamweaver for my web development class. Following the steps exactly as it says out the book and yet still for some reason the damn scrollbar wont appear as it's intended to. Even showed the professor and he couldn't figure out why it wasn't behaving either. FML, technology hates me.

The only time I ever used Dreamweaver was at uni, absolute horrid mess of a programme. Glad I never had to touch it again in a 'real world' situation (to be fair Macromedia still owned it when I was taught it, might be better nowadays). Was figuring that nowadays in those classes all you'd need to know is how to set up and theme CMS like Drupal etc.

The plumbing in our apartment building kinda sucks, the kitchen sinks and the bathroom sink are all connected to the same god damn pipe beyond the initial drains (Yeah I know, it's fucking stupid... and probably against code somehow now that I think more about it). Well, it's either clogged/backed up or something else is wrong with it, so the kitchen sink is backing up into the bathroom sink (Yeah, I know it's fucking gross that's why I'm pissed...). It's kinda done this before a couple times but not this bad and our landlord is a real asshole so I try not to call him unless I absolutely need to. I really need to wash some goddamn dishes, as per our agreement it's my turn to but I have been putting them off as I've been busy with school/work and per and by the time I get home I really haven't wanted to do them and now they've piled up a little bit. Anyways, I went to Menard's bought a sink snake and a maximum strength drano kit and poured the whole fucking thing down there. This better fucking work!!!.... FML, I'd kill for a goddamned dishwasher right now.

 

It's a decent apartment otherwise, but yeah the plumbing in this building really does fucking suck, I'm questioning wether the pipe is actually clogged or if it's some weird pressurization problem.

That is well against code in Washington I'm fairly certain - specifically in Seattle. The landlord could be held liable and forced to repay you rent that you paid to them along with substantial fines from the city.

 

It's a landlords responsibility to abide by certain laws, I make sure that if I'm paying someone/some company to live in their residence, everything must be up to snuff and working as advertised otherwise I request prorated rent on the grounds of local law. It's never failed me up here when I was living in apartments.

Do any of you find that you had more purpose after having children? Does life click after that?

You should never have children to validate your own existence. If you are suffering from depression, one of the worst things you could do would be to have a child.

doesn't stop dumbcunts having kids every second

lol

 

to be clear though, I didn't mean that it was something I would do.

steffeng, maybe you should move city or summat. impression I get is you're fairly well off and can do that. might be something to try just for the fuck of it.

It's funny you say that actually. Sometimes when I'm having a really bad day or a panic attack or whatever I find myself suddenly looking at real estate in other cities, like I want to just jump ship and restart my life (with my gf of course, she's awesome and tolerates my shit quite well).

 

We've been talking about moving to Vancouver and our most recent visit there, seeing how laid back the people are etc, made me want to move there even more. Chenboss showed us some really cool places.

 

Aside from that I think I just need to see a professional and start working out my issues, I don't know why I have such a hate-on for myself.

Hmm, I should look more into what the actual local building codes are, my landlord is a miserly dick, I wouldn't making him have to pay up, or at least pay the expenses of updating the building. On the brighter note, the Drano kit worked and the sink seems to be fixed for now.

Yeah Steve I'd move to Van too, if cost of living weren't so high.

I understand you.

 

But I got a solution for you, if Facebook (and and maybe other social media site)... Deactivate your account for a month. Stop browsing them for a month. It seems hard at first but really, if you can control yourself within that time, you'll feel better, even with an active facebook account. But let's make this clear, Facebook is not the problem, it is just another tool to gather information (for you and FB partners), so you don't need to literally kill your accounts. Do the one month thing. At least that worked for me. Of course I sometimes go and check some shit on it, but not as often as I did, also I configured it to only see good information, such as news, science stuff, etc. not shit like memes or whatever a "friend" post.

I had a pretty depressing dream last night and it left me feeling pretty lonely and bleak. I haven't felt this way in a while, so it's unfortunate that, of all things, it was a dream that caused it. In the past, they've never caused anything but happiness (or maybe that's just a flawed retrospective). Regardless, I feel kind of awful. I feel like I've lost every friend I had, and I keep growing more and more distant from everybody. It's like sinking in quicksand. I want to do something to stop it, but nothing works, and it seems like it's completely out of my control. Nobody cares about me enough to put any effort into remaining friends, aside from one friend I have who lives in Baltimore now, leaving us unable to meet in person. At least we should be meeting at the AE show next week.

I miss my cat.

I just ate a double whopper from Burger King. I knew what I was getting into but I couldn't help it. I'm sorry, stomach.

 

also I was unintentionally rude to the BK girl when she went "namaste" and I was like "I'm not Indian" and she said "oh, where are you from?" and I went "ain't tellin' you now!" and she was like "I was just making conversation". I'm sorry, BK girl. (But I fucking hate that shit though.)

 

sorry to everyone/thing ever. *puts on dunce cap and sits in corner*

 

edit: except LimpyLoo, he's still a cunt.

I've been getting this dull ache in my lower right abdominal region lately. it's very subtle, and not uncomfortable, but it's definitely there. In the back of my mind I'm worried it might be something horrible that will kill me... but in the front of my mind I'm more like "meh, whatever, if I ignore it maybe it'll go away". Which is crazy! My instinct for self preservation sucks balls. Anyway, after 2 weeks of wondering if this thing might be something to be concerned about I finally called my doctor's office to set up an appointment today, but they were closed (at 3pm???). Hopefully tomorrow I'll still have the sense to try to do something about this.

awe you get to meet alco?

 

im jelly

fucking el capitan download is literally taking forever.

WTF apple, torrent that shit!

I have a worm inside my brain.

I think I'm condemned to never use the video library from Processing.

I'm trying to get the final mixes together for my new album (coming out next week!) and the left channel on my receiver decided to go out

Fuck a bunch of bureaucratic bullshit project management.

Was playing Raptor: CotS on my PC and suddenly the screen decides to go to Windows and rotate 90 degrees for no apparent reason, completely fucking up my game as a result. At least I reset it to landscape configuration, but it was a pain in the ass to navigate the fix. First time that's happened, and I hope it's the last.

EDIT: More permanent fix discovered: Disable HotKeys in (Intel) Graphics Options after right-clicking on the Desktop. Apparently the Ctrl+Alt+Arrow HotKey for screen rotation was a default option, for whatever stupid reason.
