    I saw a sign today that was likeI

    PAYING FOR McDONALD'S CUSTOMERS ONLY
    VIOLATORS WILL BE TOWED
    (FIFTH THIRD BANK PARKING BEHIND BUILDING)

    I like that. Instead of just saying "don't park here", they actually point you to where you're supposed to park. They didn't have to do that, so I appreciate that they bothered.

    There's a real unwillingness in our society to talk about whether or not it was ethical to run over Grandma with a reindeer.

    I mean, how do we know Grandma wasn't a serial killer??

    Seeing your grandmother get run over by a reindeer...

    It fills you with determination.

    I am unfunny

    I now remember what that is a reference to and I am giggling.
  • kill living beings
    I can't use my touchscreen with gloves so now I am sad

    I think it's a cost I'm willing to buffer

    " but then how are you here" heated bus, mofo
  • 9,802 words into my NaNo novel after the end of Day 3. 

    For reference, the recommended number of words I should have written in 5,001. 
  • you can buy gloves which work on touchscreens

    what a time to be alive

    See, this is why I wear fingerless gloves. Keeps my hands warm and I can still use my phone and iPod. 
  • so hey, anyone here know anything about spiders?


    we found this thing in our house and while we already killed it, I'd like to know what the fuck it was.
    Looks a bit like a harvestman to me. They are arachnids, but not spiders.
    christ that thing is terrifying

    are they native to Pennsylvania? I might just never go outside again.

    also are they dangerous
  • also this thing was large, whereas Wikiped claims that the average Harvestman is about

     7 millimetres (0.28 in)
  • image Wee yea erra chs hymmnos mea.

    also are they dangerous

    are you a plant or a small insect
  • also are they dangerous

    are you a plant or a small insect
    I asked that before I realized the average Harvestman is less than an inch around.
  • Why must rebooking things be so hard?

    I have one of those laptops where instead of having two separate buttons below the touchpad, the corners of the touchpad just press down as buttons.

    I've gotten used to it in the two years I've had this thing but I can't say I like it much.

    When I took apart my laptop to replace the headphone jack the precarious assembly that makes the "push down the pad" thing work came apart and I had to piece it back together, which was a pain.

    Then I had to do the same thing today because the left button stopped working...turns out a tiny chip of plastic broke off somewhere inside the case and got jammed up under it.

    It's a lot of hassle for something that's not really any easier to use than the traditional kind.
  • I hate touchpads.

    I love having a USB mouse even if it does take up one of my computer's three (?!?!?!) USB slots.

    I use a USB mouse at home but I generally use the touchpad at school because a mouse is yet another thing I'd have to pack up with the laptop and charger.

    The exception was when I was doing CAD work last school year, doing 3D CAD modeling with a touchpad is a whole new level of painful.

    Also, I thought most laptops had about 3 USB ports? This one and my last one both did...
  • -have you been known by any other names?-

    -lists down all my online personas-

    I was under the impression that it was quite low.

    Maybe I'm wrong.

    laptop motherboards tend to be pretty compact by nature of having to fit in a portable device

    i guess they just figure you'll get a USB hub if you need more ports

    Oh, hey, daddy longlegs! They are really strange and actually pretty cute. They're scavengers and they drop legs when they are scared which is honestly kind of sad.
  • kill living beings
    my netbook has thre
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    spiders can make me a bit uncomfortable, for some reason harvestmen don't

    idk, i can see they look a little fearsome in an extreme close up but i honestly think they're kind of cute irl
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    it's weird how daddy long legs means a different thing depending on where you live

    some people mean a cellar spider, some people mean a harvestman

    around here it means a cranefly

    I always used "daddy long legs" to refer to cellar spiders myself

    I didn't realize there was any ambiguity :v
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    there probably isn't where you are

    i think it varies by region
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    it's weird

    harvestmen don't walk the same way as spiders, which doesn't sound like it would make much difference but it really does to me

    like when i see a spider walking, even if i know what kind it is and know it isn't dangerous, somewhere in the back of my mind a little mini panic alarm goes off

    harvestmen look a lot like spiders, but entirely don't have that effect on me
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    i say a lot of things are 'weird', i just realized
  • spiders are OK in my books

    wee noble hunters they is
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    I like both but daddy longlegs/harvestmen are less prepossessing and way goofier to me.

    Anyway, heading out on yet another Grocery Quest, but with Dad this time. See y'all!

    this seems sensible to me
  • actually come to think of it i have heard people use 'daddy long legs' to refer to any kind of spidery/long legged insect but tbh i always thought it was a name for the cranefly
  • oh no I've seen daddy longlegs before. This was not one of those, it was far too large and longleggers don't hop around.

    I guess it really must've been a camel cricket.

    to make it more confusing in some parts of the northeast we say daddy longleggers instead.

    don't even get started on water striders / water spiders / waterbugs / waterflies
  • I hate anything with abnormally long legs.

    ...

    Okay, so I do have abnormally long legs, but that's not the point.
  • anything with more than four legs is an abomination and must die
