Post your random thoughts, questions, ideas here... I'll start
1) Have you ever watched America's Funniest Videos and wonder why the winning video is almost NEVER funny AT ALL?? We were watching some older episodes on Disney Plus and the final 3 videos are always stupid and not funny, and the worst one ALWAYS wins.. WTF..
2) How have cereal bags NOT been made with zip lock technology??
3) They need to make a container that can keep to-go french fries from getting soggy...

I didn't know that black squirrels were rare in some areas. Here in Michigan, we see them all over the place -- daily. heh.

Not my thought: a round pizza pie comes in a square box, so maybe a square pizza should come in a round box.

Subject line of a spam email I got: you have won an Milwaukee power drill.

A few months ago I started getting multiple e-mails every day claiming to be from Wal-mart, Lowe's, or some other well known company saying I had won a prize. Sometimes I get the exact same e-mail two or three times in the same day. The e-mail does not address me by name and says I needed to take a survey to be entered to win a prize worth $90. I guess the law on fraud changes when the amount is over $100. The return address is always some very long string of letters that is probably from a random generator so blocking the address will be useless. I dutifully report them as spam, but few get send directly to my Junk folder. If I click "unsubscribe", I get a message saying the page it is taking me to is unsafe. I've been using the same e-mail address for at least 20 years and the amount of work to change it everywhere would be enormous. I have two addresses and actually tried to change my e-mail address for a restaurant Rewards program and it wouldn't let me.

I get those emails a lot, too. Gmail's crapty filters won't let me set it up to automatically delete them, so I have to go in and mark it as a phishing attack (which is what they are) and it took months but it's finally getting rid of them.
The unsubscribe option is fake, they use that to make sure someone is reading the emails and so they can bombard them with more crap.

Random thoughts? Alright...
My friends are getting divorced. I'm friends with both of them. It's weird. I'm trying to be there for both of them while remaining Switzerland about it all, but it's hard. They're both my friends, and they both do their best to make the other one unlikable. Well shut up friends, I'm not gonna take sides.
I started a job almost a year and a half ago, working at Costco. I'm in a call center. I got hired for their eCommerce support. I didn't know Costco had call centers. We didn't have one in Oklahoma until they bought the old Hertz call center building a couple years ago. Anyway, now I'm in a different department and it's amazing and I love it.
I need a gavel.
I started getting edibles about a year ago. The idea was that it was supposed to help with anxiety and depression, though I'm not sure how well it's been doing at that. I'm pretty non-plussed, but I feel pretty good. Thank goodness for the spelling corrections too. They also make me terrible at video games.
AEW has been crap for the better part of 2022. After the March one where Punk and MJF fought, it's been downhill. I have mixed feelings about WWE, but they're definitely telling better stories right now.
I have too much crap. Some of it needs to go. I also have too much debt. Selling off too much crap won't cover the too much debt. If I do that, I won't have enough money to put a good dent in the debt, and I'll be all out of cool crap.
I need some wall shelves and/or a bookcase or some sort of shelving apparatus to display all my Funkos. I don't really want to get a bookcase, since I don't know why. But I just don't. Kinda think I want the cube organizers, but I don't wanna spend the money. All I know is those Funkos need to get out of my closet.
I'm too fat. I need to do something about it. But I'm too lazy. Excuses, I know, but also facts.

At the end of the day you might have to, or you will lose both of them as friends. Depends on the reason for divorce, also sometimes how contentious it ends up being.

I hope so. I hope all ends well sooner than later. I don't think it's going to be easy, or quick, but I can hope. They're both good people, just not to each other.
AEW needs to get it's crap together on camera. As much as everyone sucked for Brawl Out and ensuing drama... having the stories be bad or not followed up on or in some cases both... it hasn't been good. The wrestling has been, and always will be, good. Though, if they stop thinking it's Indiemovemania every Wednesday, there may be less injuries, which would let these guys wrestle better, for longer.

Every little bit of debt relief helps. I'm working on it myself for the first time in 11 years. I'm in sales so when the economy goes down: my pay goes down.
You didn't go fully into debt in a day, give yourself more than that to get out. I'm of the mind that it's fun to see how you can still get the things that are important to you, but cutting out things you don't really care about or took for granted. Like we went out to eat at least 3 times a week. Now it's a special treat when we do it. That sort of thing.

Does anyone have an Ea Play subscription? Is it me or are they just not really adding games to it? Except for Fifa like a few months before the new one comes out
I loved the sub at first bc i played through a bunch of the games on there (Unravel 2, Titanfall 2, Mass Effect trilogy, It Takes Two, A Way Out), but now it’s just kinda useless

I honestly don't know where I first heard about this...I am really thinking it was here. But this is really freaking me out because of just how real it looks. A website that generates pictures of people who don't exist:

It's trained on millions of faces, so in a way it is. It's just randomized in a way that you actually getting a 100% facial match would be like winning the powerball six times while being struck by lightning twice.

Sometimes when I feel that the weather has gotten cold and not to my liking, I look up the weather in Fairbanks, Alaska. It's not necessarily always colder there, but sometimes the weather there is MUCH colder than other places.
