I like the idea of books more than actually reading them

It's kind of frustrating because I know what I like, sci fi and fantasy. I've bought several books I really liked the synopsis of and I've read those books to pages 100-150 and every time I just get bored. Like, I know the books are good, interesting, and fun, but I just get bored no matter what I read.

Am I just cooked from growing up playing video games and youtube? Literally every day, I'm like, "Maybe I'll finally read my book today. I'll just play an hour or two of my video games and go read" and then I'm like "Maybe another more hour" and then when I finally get to reading my book, I read like a few pages, a chapter at most, get bored, swap to the next book, read to pages 100-150, get bored, rinse and repeat.

Am I just not a book person despite so dearly wanting to be one?

doomfists empowered punch should be scaled instead of either empowered or not

like its so common for me to block as doomfist and have the meter be like 90% charged and I still get no reward for that. like the enemy is always able to just be like "lol, we will still shoot you knowing as long as it isn't 100%, you get 0%!"

like why not have doomfists punch be charged up to the scaling of the meter? I know it require maybe some dev time and I get blizzard is a one man small indie studio, but it would be nice you know?

At my wit's end with rockstar's terrible, unhelpful support.

I keep sending rockstar tickets about how my account says it is ineligible for migration, with this ticket:

"It says my account is not eligible for migration at this time. Why? What is the reason?

I had submitted a few other tickets but I keep getting copy-pasted responses. Can I get an actual human being to look into why I cannot migrate? I was asking why it is saying my account is not eligible for migration at all. Why? What is holding me back from migrating from legacy? Also, please do not auto-resolve the ticket on my behalf without actually resolving the ticket."

Every single time I just get the same copy-pasted response of "Migration of Grand Theft Auto Online characters from one platform to another is an irreversible process. As a result, we are unable to adjust the account regarding migration reversion.", which I KNOW. Then it's always followed by "We will be closing this ticket", despite me clearly stating "PLEASE DO NOT CLOSE THE TICKET WITHOUT GIVING ME A REASON AS TO WHAT IS HOLDING ME BACK FROM MIGRATION".

I've sent literally like 10 tickets so far and I keep getting the same unhelpful response. I can't even get an actual human to call me back because they discontinued that. Am I just screwed and I cannot migrate from legacy online to enhanced? I can play legacy online no problem but migration for some reason will not work.

Genuinely everything is not working.

First I could not go play Overwatch, a game which requires constant internet connection to play. I checked on the forums and apparently people were saying it's an issue with ATNT in the Southeast part of America. Coincidentally, that's where I am and the service provider I am using.

I try to go on my phone and watch youtube, and I can't do that either. My data is faster because absolutely everything is buffering using my wifi.

I just went to order some food at a restaurant and they said their pay-system is being incredibly slow. Everyone was waiting in line and I had to wait 15 minutes just for the system to go through with payment. I go to the next store over and the same thing. I have to use a VPN because absolutely nothing is working.

Wow. I just tried to call someone on discord and it keeps saying "No route/RTC connecting". bruh??

I can't do anything lol

Holy fucking shit, this game's scale and scope is unreal.

I was driving and doing one of the early game missions and as I was driving through this bridge for the very first time... I was genuinely blown away. To say this is a 2008 game... holy shit. No wonder people were genuinely blown away by this in 2008. I'm blown away by this in 2026!

What are some good free online IQ tests/tests similar to an IQ test?

I LOVE solving puzzles for fun, and I frequently find myself trying to find more logic/pattern/word problems to solve. I find IQ testing online more of a fun thing to do than a serious, "Heh, I scored 392 on this freeiqtest dot com site im so smart heh" thing.

Does anyone know of any sites/tests that are essentially that, that aren't just like ten questions or so? As well as something that hasn't been done before, like trying to find the Fibonacci sequence or something. Something genuinely interesting and fun to try to solve

Just did a complete remodel of my store. This is what happens when you order nearly 2000 boxes all at once

If I had remodelled my storage as well, I would probably have ordered nearly 4000 boxes. lmao.

u/KawaiiUmbreon2 — 2 months ago

Is there a mod that lets you order what is empty in the backroom?

The closest I could find was getting a mod that allows you to bulk order something that is completely empty in the backroom. Let's say, for example, you have two tall racks dedicated to something random like bananas. Normally, you'd have to wait until everything is completely empty before going to the computer and clicking on the "no stock in storage" option, buying how much you need (it doesn't tell you, so you just have to know that 4 banana boxes fit in each section), so you do 4 x 5 x 2 and order that much.

This mod that I got called Smart Stocking allows you to bulk order what is completely empty, either one for each or refilling all of it.

However, let's say I have backstock that is half empty. and I want to refill that half secttion. There doesn't seem to currently be a mod that orders backstock in that way, or lets you know to refill it. It always just seems to be that you need to completely wait until it's all out before you refill it :( Any help on finding it? I checked nexus mods and did not see one.

What an actual scam???

252 kiwi for $225.04...

For comparison, that is $1.11 for every Kiwi. At sales price that is worth nearly $3,000 for 252 kiwis... bruh????

Please add overnight stockers

It's crazy how I have so much freight that I had to hire all stockers and I still can't keep up. I have to AFK after every day just so I can restock for the next day. It would be nice if I could hire a few overnight stockers so that by the next day your freight is more or less already stocked. So, say for example, since your store closes at 9 PM and opens at 8 AM the next day, maybe you could have it so that they stock 15 boxes an hour throughout the 11 hours the store is closed overnight, resulting in 165 boxes stocked per stocker. It sounds like "a lot per each stocker" but trust me, the freight ADDS up and I'm stocking WAY more than that a day. It would also help alleviate the load for the day time crew since they're stockers, stocking backroom, and stocking from backstock

Do you think my backroom stock is too overkill?

I wanted to make it so that I can just come to the backroom, scan what I am empty on, and just go afk throughout the day, hence I need a LOT of backstock room to keep up with the freight during the day. There's also about 2-3 sections of each item, giving me space for about 4-8 entire cases of each item.

The front of the backroom section near the door is General Merchandise. The section to the far right is solely for Produce. The section towards the far back is for Frozen. I also organized it accordingly, so chips are near chips, drinks are near drinks, seafood is near seafood, dairy is near dairy, etc.

With this setup-scheme my aisles are always full as there is always at least 2-3 cases of each item and each item has two shelves per four foot section, so let's say I have one encap with two shelves for chocolate and candy, if one shelf section is empty on candy, it gets refilled. The other gets empty, but there's always at least one shelf full so I never run out of stock or backstock :) . However I just expanded in this clip so some sections are a bit empty. :)

finally got a job offer... 10.50 an hour..

like this is so debilitating for me. ive been looking for a job for months and I finally got an actual offer and it's 10.50 an hour at Wendy's.

the sad thing is this looks like the best job offer I have gotten yet since its the only job offer I have gotten yet. the lady/store manager asked me how much experience I had in fast food. I had none. she asked how much I wanted to get paid and I was like "I am used to 14-15 from working retail" and she said "10 50 here" and im literally forced to take it because I have been looking for work for 3 months (she also asked how long ive been looking for work?) and this is literally the only place that sent an offer.

like I applied to literally every fast food/retail business and this is all I got... I had to fight tooth and nail and show up every day like I was networking just to land a shitty 10.50 an hour job.. sometimes I wonder what 2008 felt like. maybe this is a glimpse into what that felt like ​

i love the "you are higher than x%" change

I love seeing it honestly because instead of giving you an abstract view of where you are in terms of emerald or diamond or whatever, you are actually better than say, 90% of players which is where diamond starts. surprisingly enough, that shows that diamond is incredibly high elo already, and emerald to an extent is as well. I mean imagine if you were in the top 10% of anything. diamond 3-2 is around being better than 93-95% of players iirc? so if youre mid diamond you are essentially top 5%. imagine if you had a top 5% lawyer, doctor, engineer, etc in the world working with you on your team. crazy when you put it in perspective isnt it ​
