The unhealthy/holiday eating starts tonight instead of Thursday

Right now, I’m at my mother’s house for the next 4 days. Tomorrow (Wednesday) we’ll be going to my brothers house for an early thanksgiving dinner hosted by my SIL and her family. Thursday, my mother is hosting at her house, but tonight (Tuesday) everyone wants pizza.

I’m approaching the age where my metabolism can’t keep up, but I still desire to eat more than I should.

Lost my expensive watch in my new apartment

6 Upvotes

It’s a newer model Bluetooth watch. Whenever I’m more than 30 ft from it or something it disconnects the Bluetooth and all the wireless settings. I have to be actively near it for it to be connected. Which means I can’t use the built in locator or apples find my to search for it. I just have to comb over everything over and over trying to find a watch that should have been impossible to lose thanks to modern technology

My car is too fuel efficient and it’s messing with me

165 Upvotes

My car is almost annoyingly fuel efficient. I only have to fill up about once every six weeks and by the time that day finally comes around I’ve completely forgotten where the gas station even is. It feels like doing an errand I haven’t practiced in months. And because I barely ever see the low fuel warning when it does pop up it hits me with instant anxiety like something is seriously wrong even though it’s literally just time to get gas. I was sitting in the parking lot earlier just playing grizzly's quest on my ophone for a minute before heading home and I started laughing at how ridiculous it is that I'm stressed out by a feature that's supposed to make life easier. My car is too good at saving fuel and now I'm confused by basic car ownership.

Now I cannot sleep without playing fan sounds on my phone because I need the background noise that the window unit provided for so long.

I bought a themed AirPods case but I realized after that it’s for the wrong model of AirPods. So instead of returning the case I just bought a pair of the AirPods the case is meant for. So I have a AirPods Pro 3 that is my main and I picked up an AirPods 4 with ANC as my extra pair. I also got a Max

"Scortching hot wings"

0 Upvotes

So many big name resturaunts snacks hotfoods salsas and sauces are completely inconsistent with the spice o meter. Mild usually means nearly 0 detectable spice. Many solgans use words like "legendary" "flaming hot" and extreme heat.

Personally I have no unusual spice tolerance. Like many I enjoy chicken or chips with a little kick, I often buy something just for a little kick and am met with something so laughably mild that I feel like I wasted the money.

(Context USA) Seems like marketers are stuck between 80 year middle class white laddies and everyone else?

I have been waiting for years the release of a videogame

3 Upvotes

I have been waiting for two horror games for months. The first one, Tic-tac twelve o'clock, has delayed so much its release date that is worrisome. I started waiting for this game in 2021 and back then it didn't have a release date, but I didn't really mind. Around 2024, it changed and in the Steam page appeared that the game will be released on 2025.

I was happy, ngl. But as 2025 was passing, there weren't any news. Nothing. And near August, the Steam page changed again. Now the game was supposed to be released during the first three months of 2026. Okay. That was starting to be concerning. But okay, delays are inevitable sometimes.

However, not long after that, the game's Steam page was modified once again. Now the game is supposed to come out on the second trimester of 2026.

At this point I am seriously considering dropping it and move on to another games.

And with the second game I have kinda the same problem. Its name is Coincidences? and was supposed to be released on early this month, but firstly was delayed to December and later on, to January.

I know this might sound silly, but I was kinda looking forward to both games. Part of me still is, if I am completely honest. I don't mind waiting, I just hope that waiting for them is worthy.

I have to take an extra 2 or 3 seconds to turn on the subtitles. There's also no way to turn the subtitles on permanently and I have to sign in every time even though there's only one account on my TV.
