Random Fail: First World Problems

Chicken bacon ranch.

Fun fact after doing any decent sized fastish download my download speeds magically go down to subdial up speeds, like I time out of ffxi bad for awhile after and periodically during. But when I check on any number of speed test sites it magically goes back up again... then back down when I get off those sites. Just done this back and forth several times and every time man

Pineapple does not belong on Pizza

This. Only thing a pizza needs is Sauce (and even then sometimes no), Cheese, and enough meat to give you a heart attack.

My work is directing me to ".uk" domains instead of the default ".com" sites. Seriously odd.

Are other sites fucking up? I mean, just XI going to shit seems to fit more into the string of DDOS attacks various games have been getting the past few months. Heck, might not even be targeting SE/XI specifically, but your traffic just going through where congestion is high.

I thought the deal was a lot of internet providers (definitely including Comcast) throttle your bandwidth on connections that have been open more than a few minutes unless they're on a short list of domains (like netflix, google-video, etc.)

page late but the correct Hawaiian pizza is pineapple, bacon (NOT HAM) and jalapeno. if they have white sauce, all the better

[arus2001]

True, I know something like that was an issue at some point given they wanted Netflix to pay in while they let Hulu go uninhibited or something. Just not sure if they expanded on it or revised. In either case, there's not really anything we (the customers) can do for either scenario.

Oh no it's every site and using downloading software that apparently bg doesn't let me talk about as well. My speeds are definitely going way down with downloads going from around .3-1Mbps to <1 kbps it's something Comcast has always done in my experience when downloading. But once I finally get that internet speed test site finally loaded bam speeds magically return which is sneaky as fuck as it means it makes it makes it so anytime I test I get great numbers. Yet another reason to switch

The neighbors aren't very computer savy.

They got duped for 60 bucks from some company in China selling "Authentic NFL Jerseys 70% off"

They were like "Why isn't this here yet?" and I looked at the paperwork to try to get them the contact info they needed and couldn't find any. Googled the site it came from and many dozens of complaints about either not getting their merch or their merch being complete shit quality/counterfits.

Told them to go to the bank and get that handled immediately

[dasva]

Apparently my doctor wanted me to make an appointment with cardio... actually faxed them that and info on what to test for but tolf me to just walk in and no info on what to do lol. Also made it sound like I was getting blood work at same place when it's really across the street.

[Yuri-G]

guy online goes from being pretty heavily flirty to just... short one-word replies. and I'm like, really. REALLY.

look, you lost interest? totally cool. you wanna ignore me? I'm down! I don't ever expect anything back in online dating.

you wanna actually talk? totally cool. you're hot! I'm down to get to know you even if we're not going to meet up anytime soon.

but no. NOOOOOOOOOO. you keep me on the hook but don't actually carry on a conversation. WHY dude. WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

I'm so over this. it's the one thing I cannot handle when it comes to online dating. THE ONE THING.

[Zetanio]

Stop getting so invested. It's fucking chatting online.

[Yuri-G]

Stop getting so invested. It's fucking chatting online.

I appreciate the sentiment but when you have an anxiety disorder AND abandonment-based PTSD its not so simple. Trust me, I'm working on it. This was more venting than anything else.

[dasva]

Gdi. Telemarketers getting sneaky now using in town area codes and telling me they with customer service before going on their spiel about how I can be eligible for a trip to wherever

[djzombie]

You answer your phone if you don't know who it is? Fuck that noise. Straight to voicemail if your number isn't in my phone.

[Yuri-G]

yeah I don't ever pick up my phone unless I know who it is. that includes my work phone too lol

[dasva]

Normally no. Hell normally I don't answer even when I do know lol. However I am expecting call backs from a few local places right now and wont necessarily recognize the number so figured it must be them. And given one of them is my new doctor that has a hard time answer the phone or returning the messages they get I don't want to chance it. Seriously called a dozen times yesterday over 4 hours and not a goddamn time they picked up and still haven't returned the message. Never got a local area telemarketer before

I don't even answer my door unless I know who it is. If I'm not expecting a package and not expecting company, I don't even bother getting up when the doorbell rings
