    You'd think, if a repair request comes in that notes charging difficulties and difficulties recognizing devices attached via charging port, that the repair place would CHECK THE FUCKING CHARGING PORT
    tl;dr had to send in my tablet again because of a VERY FUCKING OBVIOUS and NOT REPAIRED LOOSE CONTACT at said charging port

    brb flipping a fucking table

    thanks

    on a higher note, a friend has offered to lend me her old laptop for the meantime.
    another plus: the mio mio mate+ ginger i bought tastes delicious, even if it's too expensive to drink on the regular.
    the sake i bought tastes like drain cleaner though. blergh.

    serves me right for buying the cheap shit, i guess
    bit like vodka in that regard...

    depends, some alcohol stuff you just gotta know which kinds you want? I refuse to pay much for wine for example but the dornfelder rosé and the riesling white we've got around is generally okay, and the cidre we buy is p cheap as well but nice

    yeah
    i mean, the plum wine i buy is pretty cheap (and pretty good), with mead you gotta go for the renfaire or the goth/metal/punk shop brands, but there's that level of cheap and boxed wine levels of cheap, and that's a difference. vodka in particular you basically gotta befriend a russian and ask them to rec stuff.
    sake is grain alcohol, similar to vodka and beer, and making fruit wines is a little easier.

    on that note, there's exactly one beer brand so far i've even remotely liked and it's native to my home region and thus unavailable here.

    beer is super difficult. I haven't ever encountered one i even halfway liked that wasn't one'a those fruity mixed drinks that's more cloyingly sweet fruit bullshit than beer >_> SO i feel.

    bland food is nauseating on its own
    i ate some leftover potatoes with broccoli-cheese-sauce, don't think i can stomach meat rn

    and then removed the plate from the room

    i feel so cold

    i think im gonna put on some music, take another paracetamol, and try to rest

    and before anyone drops in with '37 is still in normal range' -- those temperatures were taken orally, which means you need to add about half a degree, and i tend to be on the low end of the temperature spectrum. there were jokes about me being cold-blooded in high school. once i hit 37 im fuckin miserable.

    You know what's great?
    Not being able to sleep because just when you're slipping into it, there's a bout of coughing.

    So one of my GMs has been outed as a massive, abusive shitbag, and I'm kind of pissed at them about it.
    And pissed at myself that I got fooled by them, because until now I knew them as a funny and good GM and couldn't really understand why they had that blow-out that made them leave Kintsugi.

    And questioning myself, because I liked to think I was good at smelling shit like that and seeing cracks in people's behaviors. I'd joke about wondering if i'm friends with a serial killer at his rate, but that guy's dead 9 years.

    ... no wonder kathy didnt return to the group, she might as well have smelled it...

    Sometimes people are just that good at lying. -hugs offered.- I missed it too, even though there was evidence right under my nose, even though I didnßt have the best opinion of them in the first place.

    It's just, I think someone's funny and cool to chill, and like half a year or two later I get the notice that they're an asshole. That's like the fourth time.
    I'm beginning to question my 'dar ::/

    (One dude creeped on me when I was younger via messenger and I sorta ghosted him cuz he creepy, and one guy my radar pinged, but I hung out around him until he told me he'd treat a female officer different than a male officer because she's ~lady~. Kinda blew up at him for that...
