I was sitting here pressing the meh button hoping for something to buy that I needed but there wasn’t anything. I was worried my internet was going down due to the hurricane Milton that was passing by on the same day. Got lucky that internet worked all day and night and didn’t have any power failures either. It’s nice to just relax and sleep all night since the meh-rathon is over.
Not too good; not too bad. Middlin’. Kinda okay. No strong feelings either way. There’s probably a word that sums that up but I just can’t be bothered to look.
Dang it I missed it. It was the one day I didn’t have the little button click so can you guys please send me a text to let me know when it’s going on. The second thing I’d like to mention as I was at Sam’s Club tonight and I walked down the toilet paper aisle and they were completely sold out of toilet paper. I don’t know what is going on. So I posted on Facebook that they had bidet attachments buy one get one free on sidedeal.com, so hopefully that will help the people out that weren’t able to buy toilet paper. And anything that was not understandable. Blame Siri because I don’t like to type so I talk it instead, and she does not always understand what I say.
@fairchild521 The toilet paper sold out due to the dockworkers strike that is tentatively settled (for now). Might start up again after Jan. 15th next year without an agreement.
Anticipation of the regret I most likely get when the package arrives after being drop kicked along the way to my apartment of course. Hopefully the box is taped well and the contents don’t need bubble wrap. Oh wait. I hope the contents need bubble wrap and that the contents also are bubble wrapped. Then I might regret I anticipated regret.
At least the odds of “winning” are better than the lottery. That is worth something. Right?
I am feeling an overabundance of SENAIATION (as depicted in the banner) since I decided not to participate in such folly. Used to be quite enjoyable trying to snag the elusive IRK. Now, since anyone and everyone can get one (with strings attached that determine your final purchase price), the excitement factor is meh.
Perhaps during mehrathons Meh ought to offer extra chances at IRKs to anyone whose residential zip code puts them within a current “natural or manmade disaster evacuation zone”.
@f00l@werehatrack i do feel a potential here for using the name regretopia. not sure what it would be but someone should use it. i didn’t check yet; is it already taken?
@f00l@werehatrack apparently regretopia is a Japanese alternative rock band. however no .com domain.
I am this close to getting regretopia.com and I have no idea why.
/image missed it by this much
someone do it and tell me what you’ll do with it. @lonocat this might be a goat thing apparently you could get regretopia.com. I checked on Godaddy but there are multiple hosting sites.
couldn’t even let the Boss know I was unable to work
but seriously it’s a different world with all these disasters. I was WFH for my recent work 20+ years and some was travel, so it was pretty open. but that was fortunate and most people won’t have that flexibility. Nonetheless almost 1 yr into retirement and things have been so busy can’t imagine having to deal with daily work meetings too. though miss the income and benefits… ( )
I’m sad that my box of mediocre shit (not awful, not great) didn’t include an IRK bag. Does that mean I should expect a second box with the missing bit, @jouest? Would y’all think I’m an ass for saying I have a problem with (as in, making a service request on) the box that only promises to disappoint? A genuine dilemma.
@joelmw The missing IRK bag will only appear if you head over to sidedeal.com/support and let them know, assuming that your IRK was ordered over there. The CS staff does not routinely read the comments on these forums.
@jouest While I’m being fragile, the IRK bags are far too fragile. I’d be in favor of a return to the old drawstring. Those were at least cool. The only potential benefit to the current bag is that it might maybe be used at the grocery store. Alas, no, because the fuckers fall apart too easily. The main things they’re good for is carrying other bags and carrying empty water bottles when I go in for refills.
To be clear, they’re horrible, but I still want my fucking bag, godsdamnit. Give me my fucking bag. Where the fuck is the bag y’all promised?
@yakkoTDI I’m sorry you don’t get it. It’s funny. Let me walk you through it.
As you may or may not know, the gifs are chosen randomly. The randomness is part of the joy.
I prompted “where is it”. Whatever else the gif is or means, it seems to show someone frantically looking for a thing he can’t find. I find the prompt appropriately addressed. I might even say, I feel seen. I’ve yet to receive pancakes in an IRK, but they kinda evoke trackRs and other disks. How does that not work for you? Again, my condolences.
Yeah, it’s absurd. I also just noticed that it’s part of some wrestling thing (I don’t care enough to look up which)–inherently absurd. The absurd is bonus. The absurd is arguably what we live for here. The absurd is certainly part of what I find and appreciate here.
It’s a little schticky, but I find it hilarious. Relax. Laugh a little.
Is there some weird reason I need to be able to connect with the context, the pancakes, etc.? If the context makes sense, I’ll roll with it. If it doesn’t, I give no fucks. Actually, I could make meaning from the context here, but it’s not a priority at the moment.
What exactly doesn’t makes sense that needs to?
What aren’t you getting?
/giphy what’s your problem
(Don’t tempt me to explain whatever this gif is, because I just might.)
@Kyeh@yakkoTDI To be fair, that one is a little obtuse. But again, I’m here for the absurdity. And knowing it’s Audi (I’d no clue), it’s that much more FWP.
Mine just shipped. I’m excited. Both for the contents and for the visits from family members lured by those contents. I spread around the invitations so folks take turns being first prowler.
I am now waiting for the emails, that says: your packages have shipped; then it’s up to FedEx
@lonocat nobody’s stealing that roof box though
@jouest looks like it fell off the other side of the portico
@lonocat That’s the loop restarting.
I din’t do nuffin.

@rockblossom I think I know what you mean, I’m sure I’ve seen that word somewhere.
@rockblossom @werehatrack
Ennui.
@blaineg @rockblossom I think it was shorter.
@blaineg @rockblossom @werehatrack
eh?
@macromeh Mehbe, mehbe not.
@blaineg @rockblossom @werehatrack
Took the words right out of my “meh”. I mean mouth.

@Kidsandliz That’s not word salad. That’s wisdom.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
/giphy meh
I feel stupid for buying more soap sponges. I have a shelf full already.
@sammydog01 At least it’s something you’ll eventually use up!
Perhaps during mehrathons Meh ought to offer extra chances at IRKs to anyone whose residential zip code puts them within a current “natural or manmade disaster evacuation zone”.
@f00l Maybe in the future? Right now they might not have an address where they can receive it.
@Kyeh
I suppose there could be a hold on shipping or something
I suppose I’m feeling regret at every moment of anticipation of my irk.
And I’m feeling anticipation of every moment of regret
I have a regretopia of regret
@f00l That’s my default condition.
@f00l @werehatrack i do feel a potential here for using the name regretopia. not sure what it would be but someone should use it. i didn’t check yet; is it already taken?

@lonocat this might be a goat thing apparently you could get regretopia.com. I checked on Godaddy but there are multiple hosting sites.
if it has to be me, so be it.
I regret losing power before I could place my Mehrathon orders and not getting it back until a couple hours ago.
@yakkoTDI No web-capable phone, or did the cell service drop out, too?
@werehatrack Cell service dropped and was poop until late yesterday. I couldn’t even let the Boss know I was unable to work initially.
@yakkoTDI How’s your damage? Not too bad I hope.
@blaineg Need a new set of blinds for the screen porch and lost some food but nothing major.

@werehatrack That’s all the provocation I need. I’m blaming you.
@joelmw Too late. My time as Goat was in October 2022. But I could send you some extra TrackRs and a MacBook cover. Maybe even some ugly craft paint.
@joelmw That giphy makes no sense.
@joelmw @yakkoTDI He’s got a box full of pancakes?

@Kyeh @yakkoTDI Apparently.
@joelmw @yakkoTDI I don’t need that gif explained (“what the hell is wrong with you”) but I am curious about who that character is … do you know?
@joelmw @Kyeh Actually I was talking about the Audi giphy.
@joelmw @werehatrack Hey, I thought I was goat in October 2022! The timelines must have diverged again.
@joelmw @mossygreen Then mine must have been 2021. I’ve lost track; I must have slept since then at least once. I think.
@joelmw @mossygreen @werehatrack
/showme 2 goats on divergent time/space timelines. include subatomic particle physics equations to show your work.
@mediocrebot AI, Once again, “just… Damn! that’s pretty goat/good”
@Kyeh @yakkoTDI To be fair, that one is a little obtuse. But again, I’m here for the absurdity. And knowing it’s Audi (I’d no clue), it’s that much more FWP.
@mediocrebot @pmarin I have to agree. I might download it.
Mine just shipped. I’m excited. Both for the contents and for the visits from family members lured by those contents. I spread around the invitations so folks take turns being first prowler.
@romellex Your post made me go look and so has mine.
We’re excited for more Yellowbird hot sauce. That shit was delicious. Bummed at the lack of Buldak.
