Draginon Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 The local Walmart is getting a remodel... again. They remodel almost every other year and it's a little ridiculous at this point. Had to work at one of the campuses today and the ac wasn't on so I was stuck in triple digit heat indoors. Got a bit sick yesterday. I woke up around 4 to a pain in the lower right of my back. It was so bad my first thought was that I was experiencing appendicitis. Then I needed the bathroom and while sitting there I had to quickly grab the trash can. Had a couple more trips to the bathroom after that and couldn't get back to sleep. One of my coworkers has trained as a nurse and said it might be a stomach bug and pulled muscle since the pain wasn't in the front and thus not my appendix. All I had to eat was an English muffin and 7 up for breakfast and lunch (7up helps settle my stomach after getting sick) and my mom had me do chicken noodle soup for dinner even though I hate that stuff (broth makes me want to puke so I can only do thick and cream soups) but I feel much better now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammanas Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 On a whim I decided to watch one of the big Starcraft tournament finals they have in Korea. The winner, this year, was a Terran player called "Maru". Back when I played starcraft I always found Terran to be kind of tricky and hard to maneuver with; but this guy was absolutely brilliant with them. Evidently he started out as a child protégé, but could never finish and always ended up going out on the semifinals or so. This year he evidently figured it out and destroyed all competition leaving behind a wake of broken (usually protoss) armies. Anyways it was kind of a fun way to spend a couple of hours...don't think I will do it again anytime soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draginon Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 The news is once again complaining about black football players kneeling during the anthem. My mom got into it as well because she views it as a sign of disrespect for the flag and country while others claim it's a sign of protest. People, not every single thing a black person does is a sign of protest or disrespect. If kneeling is disrespectful then we're disrespecting every single monarch when we kneel to them. It's like the general thought going through those minds is "Them black peoples only know disrespect and protest everything" and all I'm thinking is "if these were white players no one would bat an eye at it" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solidarity with whooooom! And the protest is more against a what then a whom, or a where....perhaps a why. But the protest is/was against and to raise awareness of structural racial injustice inherent in the US Police Force, particularly against the Black population. Colin Kapernick, the football player credited with starting the trend, has said he choose kneeling during the National Anthem after discussing what he wanted to do with some veteran friends. Kneeling during the National Anthem was formulated to protest while also not disrespecting the Armed Forces. Of course, for many Republicans, anything they don't like is disrespecting the Armed Forces/the Flag/Country/Whatever sob story they can concoct. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's their way of saluting to the flag just like some stand, some place their hat on their chest and some hold hands. But it's not the reason they kneel that's the problem, it's other people thinking it's bad just because the ones doing it are black. It's like saying someone is rude because they don't like shaking hands but are actually a germaphode or raised in a culture where touching is a faux pas. It's just people being racist for the sake of being racist since the only people I've seen saying it's bad have been all white people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draginon Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Welp Disney threw a wrench into our dining reservations in December. We were going to do the Be Our Guest restaurant for dinner one night and we found out yesterday that it's now going to be 2 credits instead of one and the menu was changed completely to the point that there's nothing my dad will eat (he's extremely picky with his food) and my mom was struggling to figure something out for herself so now we're scrambling to figure out a replacement restaurant. And it's not just us, loads of other guests booked with 1 credit and the old menu in mind and those folks are also canceling since they hate the menu as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draginon Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 It's kind of crazy how much more Walmart is compared to other stores. At Walmart me and my mom would get the basics (5 days lunch for each, 5 days breakfast for me, milk, some items for dinners, water) and have it over $200 but at HEB we'll get the same stuff along with extra fluff like bagels, ice cream, candy, juice, flavored water and fruit and spend way under $200, even under $150! We get more stuff at HEB for less money! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw that, and it made me smile so much my face hurt! I love this movie, I've seen it so many times, I know every single line by heart. It always makes me happy and I have to laugh a lot. Especially the "Pirates catching Lightning" are so great. And Yvaine and Una... Sorry for the rambling... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XD And yes, the pirates are great. Captain Shakespeare is so funny! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a really good one at that, which I recommend to anyone who hasn't read it yet (especially you all who have seen the movie). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
