    aaaaa i'm stupid :(

    i'm putting everything back into its boxes

    except i'm leaving the cpu in the socket because i don't want to risk damaging it further

    i should not have attempted this, i should not have fooled myself into thinking i am capable of doing anything halfway intelligent
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    i just bumped the fan and it fell off my desk onto the floor and the grill is bent out of shape

    i might be able to fix it with pliers but agh
  • Now you're just undoing all of your hard work for no reason other than your chronic self-deprecation streak.

    Don't do that.

    Don't do that.

    i can't install the fan without the brackets (which i don't have), i couldn't install the brackets without taking the motherboard out of the case, and i can't leave the motherboard lying around unprotected, so back in the box it goes

    i'm not self-deprecating, i don't have any choice here unless i want to risk doing any more damage.
  • Fine but please do not insult yourself while doing so.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    i'm sorry it's just

    i wasn't careful enough, and this is what happened

    and now the fan grill is all bent and this just sucks

    it was supposed to be perfect, i've been saving for so long
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    pliers are too wide, it looks ugly as hell

    i mean it doesn't actually matter how it looks, it's an internal component anyway, it's just a permanent physical record of my failure

    say what you will about it, it was democratic

    as long as we don't have proportional representation, a referendum like this one is the only opportunity a lot of people are going to have for their votes to count towards anything

    too bad it's an anything that could fuck up the good friday agreement
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    oh yeah, don't get me wrong, this is a terrible idea and i've spent the last week doing almost nothing but worrying about it

    but it's a terrible idea the country elected to do democratically

    by which i mean the UK, NI didn't actually want this
  • kill living beings
    it's just a computer dude, it's something you kick to make it work
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    yeah ok, i'm overreacting

    but i mean, i still managed to screw up, because i assumed i had a component i didn't have, a lump of plastic, at that

    please don't call me 'dude'. i don't like that
  • We can do anything if we do it together.

    Scotland didn't want it either.

    the Good Friday agreement mainly affects NI (though if we had a return of the Troubles that would certainly affect Scotland)

    the only point i was making was that it was the UK overall that made this decision, not only England and Wales.  It wasn't FPTP.
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    Yes.

    Although it was mostly England, and more particularly old white people in England.

    The Northern Ireland situation looks pretty dire. I never thought I would see the day when avowed unionists would be seriously considering reunification as an option, even in the distant future.
  • There is a small part of me that I am deeply ashamed of (let's call her The Paradox Fangirl) who is mostly just excited that national borders might change.

    Other than that though the entire situation is pretty thoroughly shitty?

    And I don't know, that combined with this whole "cop war" thing at home, the world's in a pretty dark state right now.

    I prefer the pronoun "it", but nobody uses that for me.

    I mean, people call me, "they".

    I have this kind of thought too sometimes

    Don't care about anything across the atlantic, only sometimes care about anything across the Mississippi.

    I mean, it's not like the Swiss give a dang about Idaho, or can find it on a map.

    Yes.

    Although it was mostly England, and more particularly old white people in England.

    ehh, statistically, yes, but there's a lot of people voted leave who that doesn't describe.  it wasn't just 'immigrants out'.

    i would like to draw attention to the fact that, in England AND Wales, poor communities tended to vote leave (north and south, Labour and Tory), and to the dishonest claims of the leave campaign (especially the promise of extra money spent on the NHS), and to the influences of Murdoch and the Daily Mail

    yeah, it's bad, and i don't expect anything good to come out of Brexit

    i know you don't like the singular 'they', and i won't call you that.

    i don't like calling a person 'it' because it feels extremely disrespectful, but i'll respect your wishes on this matter.

    At least you're open about this, i guess.  A lot of people don't acknowledge it.

    i still don't think it's a nice attitude to have but there's always so much going on in the world and you can't be an expert on everything everywhere.
  • No I will pretty openly tell you I don't--can't even--care about things happening on the other side of the world.

    I mean it's like, literally impossible to? You will stress yourself to death. There's nothing I can do about the aging crisis in Japan, or fascists taking over Greece.

    I can say I think it's horrible, and I do, but that's not really caring, that's just having an opinion on something. There are lots of things I think are horrible that I don't really care about because they don't happen to me or people I know.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    i think it's normal to have a stronger opinion on things closer to home, and to be more informed on them

    that's different from just not caring about people elsewhere, i think

    like if something bad happens elsewhere in the world, if you feel concerned for the people there, then you do on some level care about it

    i feel like i've wasted my whole day, and i hate everything.

    I mean, the federal lands in Utah alone are bigger than the whole of Switzerland, and people are campaigning to have those made Public and developed in a suit against the federal government.

    But, actually, it turns out that several of those millions of dollars have been embezzled by the politicians and lawyers.

    Also, in my opinion, this has no chance of actually getting the land made public, and is just a way for people to do populist anti-east-coast rhetoric and get millions of dollars of donations in fundraising.

    That sort of thing matters to me, but not to the people of Germany.  Should the same happen in Germany, they would care but I would probably not even be aware.

    We all have a limited amount of dangs to give.
  • kill living beings
    i'm reasonably well-informed. if i devoted my attention to things based on their severity I would pretty much never care about the united states or kingdom except in the context of their militaries killing people elsewhere. first world problems cept not a joke. i can't do anything about any of it anyway, so hey: fuck everything. death for all.

    No, it's just not a productive use of my time.

    But neither is whining here so whatever, bye.
  • kill living beings
    "productive" as a goal of time use is an idea that must have originated somewhere but i'll never know that where or when
  • spend all your time strummin' on the geetar IMO
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    @Aliroz, you were right and i'm an insufferable grouch, sorry.

    i can't work on my computer today or tomorrow, so i might as well get some exercise.  Sitting around feeling sorry for myself won't help at all.

    Sometimes I wonder if the Zodiac Killer wasn't real, but instead a manifestation of the collective unconcious' desire to see bloodshed and constellations
