    I do actually have one complaint about this keyboard, but not because of its age.

    See that weird extra key above Num Lock? "F Lock". Yeah. You have to turn on "F Lock" to use the F1-F12 keys as F1-F12 keys instead of the weird other functions they've printed on them.

    It's like the Fn key on a laptop except reversed.

    (Literally me in the comics and manga section at every Barnes & Noble, trying not to look like a gross nerd and just seeming like an even more awkward gross nerd.)

    saaaaaaaame. my attempts at not being judged leads to me being judged more. 

    ^ ugh, that's what my laptop is like. it's incredibly annoying.

    I think it's pretty common that fn keys on laptops are "reversed" in the sense that you have to hold it to use the function keys normally. Mine last laptop was like that, though somewhere along the line I found some way to change it. I happened to notice today that my mom's is like that too.

    I had a laptop that defaulted to that, but I was able to switch it back to "normal" with, of all things, a toggle in the BIOS settings.

    Which implies they're handling that at a really low level, doesn't it?

    I probably had to do the same thing.

    I don't know that you can really handle it at a higher level than that. I mean, probably you could do something with software to fake it, but then it would be OS-specific and you might run into issues like still working the other way on the login screen. Then again I know jack shit about hardware and drivers and such, so I am kind of talking out of my ass.

    Modern keyboards have chips n shit man

    Thought it was obvious i meant the keyboard mouse protocol from context

    I still rage over the fact that the keyboard and the mouse use identical plugs but aren't interchangeable

    We can do anything if we do it together.
    So, today is my birthday.

    I already had my dinner a few days ago, so I'm not gonna do anything special today.

    I feel good that I've actually made some meaningful progress on my goals from last year, and hopefully, I can continue that this year.

    This would normally be a personal thread post, but on my birthday, I'm entitled to post something personal in the megathread.
  • Happy birthday, Section!!
  • Munch munch, chomp chomp...
    Happy birthday.
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    Happy birthday, Section!
  • My dreams exceed my real life

    happy day of birth, Section.

    also, Team Rocket is blasting off again

  • wow, I feel like crap
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Mein Kampf and the Diary of Anne Frank. The Turner Diaries and The Invisible Man. The Bell Curve and City of Quartz. A pile of compost and a garden salad. I don't recognize the difference between any of these things. Some times folks will come up to me, and they say, "hey, hey, man, why are you chewing on a tire?" And I say, "as a person with teeth, I deliberately seek out things that are difficult to chew, like this old tire or bubblegum. Life is hard to swallow, things I put in my mouth should also be." As a completely insane person, I am disturbed by people with food allergies who are also not completely insane. There are going to be peanuts in the world, so you'd better be cramming peanuts into your mouth 24/7. And don't even think about shelling those nuts. Discretion is for liberal weenies and people with a functioning survival instinct.

    some real either/or going on there

    Have fun seeing a movie you want to see. Fuck the haters.

    Also, thanks everybody.

    If these people cause you so much distress, why haven't you told them? And if you have told them, and they just don't give a damn about it, why are they still your friends?

    The Internet is not my friend

    I probably will say something to my IRL friends
  • Munch munch, chomp chomp...
    This isn't (entirely) a friends issue, and hasn't been one for several months. And in at least one case, I'm relatively certain telling them about it wouldn't do any good anyway.

    FWIW, if I see it and dislike it (not that I expect to see it while it's still in theatres unless something unexpected happens), I will try to keep mum about it.

    dear manager dude: you have no chill, there totally are items on the floor with tags that look like that, and I highly fucking doubt that our overheads are so abominably low that we'll be done in by an elderly asian man falsifying a return on a 1.99 hand crank emergency lamp

    I remember one time at Meijer some guy was trying to "return" a PlayStation 2 and all his games

    He wasn't very good at this scam; he had off-brand controllers in the box and tried to act like they were the originals
  • manager was also mad at me for not taking the customers phone number

    despite the fact that yesterday, he specifically showed me how to take a return without a phone number, and literally did it in front of me

    there has to be some component here I'm missing???????
  • I'm not mad I'm just baffled

    maybe I should be mad? idk
