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 used to really enjoy Fig Newtons. They just don't taste the same now.

I'm not sure but depending on his age he might need prunes instead.

I like the sentiment of plus only, but honestly I just want it gone altogether if I’m honest. I don’t want anything to do with scoring.

Don't eat sandwiches while your mouth is still numb after a dentist appointment. It turned into a bloody mess of a lipwich

Would like to try to get dates again.... problem is... wasn't successful before... ever... don't think this time would be any different. Seems like my options are VERILY limited with my "status." Hinge and Bumble seem to be top "free" dating apps for single and heterosexual... PoF seems more geared to my age, but even then I didn't have any good responses from there in the past either.
Get off online dating and ask out women IRL. Much more effective for like 99% of guys.

I actually have... surprisingly, the rejections were more positive rejections... as in not personal, more they were already in a relationship with someone and thanked me for the invite.
Downside for me to do it IRL is only women I have encountered are at work. I'm very careful about that though because you never know what would happen.

My opinion is you should do both unless your doing well. Each help hone your skill/confidence if you aren't, and a wider net catches more fish.

I'm building a new PC (with hand me down parts) over the weekend and I'm pretty scared. D:
I haven't done this in like six years now.

My bank account is showing either one or two incoming Apple payments and I don’t know why, but I don’t like it. I’ll have to call the bank tomorrow and find out what’s going on.

Incoming as in you're getting money?
Reminds me of the time I got $700 sent to my PayPal account from someone that meant to send it to a different Govey (their email is similar to mine). I reached out to them out of concern to make sure they meant to send it to someone else... the person supposed to receive it responds with a demanding attitude to send it back. No thanks for reaching out or any form of politeness... I looked them up... supposed to be some kind of executive in New York or Baltimore... can't remember exactly where. Go figures. LOL

Yeah, as in I’m getting money. 2 of them for $92.67 each. It’s oddly specific. I called my bank and the guy I spoke to had no idea what was going on. I did end up doing some research after I posted and I wonder if it’s part of some class action thing from a few years back. I seem to remember there being some stuff about iPhones and batteries and Apple throttling something or another, but I don’t remember if I did anything with that. Apparently I did.

Seems like a high amount for a class action suit too. Most of the time those end up being $20 payouts or less for anyone who isn't one of the main plaintiffs or a lawyer for them.
Is it from Apple themselves? Or is there a buyer (or seller?) name attached like with Paypal?

They say ‘IN RE APPLE INC PAYOUTS’. When I called the bank they didn’t know what it was about. That does look like something official. I don’t know. A class action lawsuit is all I could think of, but yeah you’re right in that those are usually miniscule. I’m going to keep an eye on my account. I don’t need anything dumb happening.

Googling that phrase pulls up a settlement regarding iPhone battery issues. It seems $92.67 is the amount you get.

That’s what I gathered last night but I wasn’t smart enough to Google the exact phrase. I’m just glad it’s not a scam.

I was going through my dvd collection and feeling a little nostalgic and a little annoyed about the time when felt like every single DVD movie was labeled as "special edition" even when there weren't any extras or anything.
Who did they think they were fooling?
