Watching OG Alien -Scrub should have listened to Ripley orders about following protocol for quarantine.

The new Ghost album is pretty good imo.
A noticeable change in style but still consistent with the last album. Something new.
I’m kinda curious about the female Nameless Ghoul, though.

My eBay interactions this week summed up:
User A: “Does this item come with all these things pictured, listed, and in the title?”
Me: “Read the listing.”
User B: “Hey does this item work” Item listed as tested working
Me: “Read the listing.”
User C: “Hey where do you ship to?”
Me: “Read the listing.”
User A (again): Offers 40% less than asking price “I’m not sure this will work so I don’t want to spend a bunch.”
Me: Lol no get the fuck out I’ll give you $10 off and that’s final. Also read the fucking listing I show that it powers on in the images.
User A: “But some_fuckwad sold his two weeks ago for $15! You can’t cut me a deal.”
Me: He sold a broken board with no accessories, no CPU, no RAM, and half the pins are straight ripped out. If you don’t like my price go buy somebody else’s board.
User A “buys” the board at my $10 discount anyway, never pays for the item, and now has a complaint filed against their account while I wait for eBay’s automated system to sort it.
Productive week.

If Ebay was a real place there’d be a lot of bitchslapping going on.
And a lot of people would be around with this look constantly on their faces.
Fucking twat.

The annoying thing is I have had 450+ perfectly easy and simple transactions both buying and selling on eBay. I know that the system works when people aren’t trying to abuse it. The 20 or so bad experiences leave a larger stain on the platform though.

The bad ones always stand out, no matter what it is. Be it people who behave like idiots, the ISP screwing up 4 out of 365 days, the one time the food at a place that’s otherwise great tastes less good, etc.
But even if it’s just a really small percentage of bad things compared to the good things, the bad ones stand out.
Yes. Statistic anomalies always have an impact because of their unexpected nature. It works the other way too, but to a lesser extent. Us humans love the “new shiny” so when something out of the ordinary occurs it has a greater impact than normal because it stands out like a “new shiny”. People are simple creatures for the most part.

Humans also like a status quo, preferably one that’s in their favor. If I feel like I’m taking my chances, gambling on the outcome, then I’ll go with the safest bet (if possible based on others’ experiences which are repeatable).
The higher the success rate based on personal experiences, the more likely I’d do it again unless something in the equation changes (new chef, different ingredients, etc, just to stick with the restaurant example).
But dealing with other humans…it’s always a gamble, especially the less you know about them.
And while the right to deny business with certain individuals has the potential to be abused (denying service based on people’s origin, culture, religion, political views, etc), in cases where people behave like jerks it should be very much okay to deny it to them. Asking for 40% of the price? Just fuck off, buddy.

Status Report :
Have been trained for what I am doing. I can do the task in about ten minutes. Granted there are several case files to do this for.
I’ll be recording the writing update today and upload it.
My friend in Warframe informed me of where to grind for credits. Also gave me the relics I need to get the rest of the parts for Valkyrie Prime. Still have to open them and get lucky enough to get the parts. He advised to focus on grinding for credits, and increase my MR rank while doing relic runs. So I will be doing that.
The big announcement in the video will be I’m taking June off for writing Sam’s Wasteland Within. I’ll be focused on writing my epic and fantasy stories.
End report.

And? Lol.
Also there’s literally thousands of pics of me floating about from when I was my cities Royalty so there’s also that lol. In all kinds of different outfits and so on. But those ones are only semi findable.
In other news new job is good. I actually quite like it other than bugs being annoying. But that’s easy enough to fix. Also interviewing for another job as well. Woot?

Oh also.
Stopped playing SWTOR in 2014 because of the myriad of bugs and horrible grind it was then, and a few other things. But picked it up again a few weeks ago and its a ton better 4 years later so ive been playing it a fair amount actually. Its got some annoyances because MMO but does have some interesting storylines and such and you can basically play it single player if you want. Or hop in raids and such with others as well. Quite decent.
StreamLabs is opening up off screen so I can’t use it at all, even after uninstalling it. wagh.
Nothing much beyond that lol. Just thought it was cute and dorky
