It came back for me

So this really funny graphical glitch appeared on Blizzard’s launcher. It popped up last night, and I thought to screenshot it, but I put it off. I finally decided to take the shot but literally 0.2 seconds before I screenshotted it it fixed itself, and if that doesn’t describe my life i don’t know what does.

Okay so i woke up at like three in the afternoon and I’m freaking starving. I head down to the fridge, the holy land of leftovers, to see what I can throw down my gullet to appease this world class hunger. On my way down i pass my stepfather, we chat about some nonsensical things; “How’s the weather?” “Which way will sports go tonight?” “Are you sure reality isn’t a fabricated simulation created by the giant lizard men who live in the sky?” You know, normal stuff. I’m getting antsy to zip past him and grab some food, then he mentions “Your Mom left you some food in the fridge.” Joy! Wonder! Divine intervention! I rush to the fridge, my stomach playing ode to joy in tummy rumbles. Inside the fridge, sitting at eye level, with the in-fridge light shining down like a spotlight. It’s a full plate, covered in translucent cellophane wrap. Through the curtain of staticy plastic I see chunks of chicken, just covered in shredded cheese. Underneath the dairy covered poultry is some vague mushy stuff covered in sauce. I can’t quite make it out because the plastic wrap is obstructing my vision. Well I can’t be expected to examine every bit of my plate before blasting it with powerful microwaves to raise the temperature of it by a few degrees, can I? So after 55 seconds being lasted with raw energy my food is now prepared. Being the class act I am I take the food upstairs, back to my room. As we all know dining rooms are in fact, for suckers. So I sit down with my piping hot meal and finally remove the cellophane wrap. What could it be? Chicken parm maybe? Perhaps, Fajitas, white-folk style? No. no, it can’t be! It is! It’s a Caesar Salad. I’m now faced with a conundrum. I’m so hungry I’m literally shaking, but my only food is a piping hot salad. Piping. Hot. Salad. Steam is wafting off the dressing. Cheese is melted on the leaves. This would probably be the worst thing i had ever voluntarily ingested. But we all do what we must to survive.

A real big difference i noticed between the northern and southern parts of the USA is how they dress for the cold. When I lived in Maine, starting Labor day all the way to Tax day everyone pretty much wore a jacket and long pants. When it actually got cold we would “bundle up”

Now I’ve heard people down South use the term “bundle up” but I don’t think they realized what it meant for us up North. When it was the coldest,like -30f (-35c), outside we would “bundle up” by wearing Toe Warmers, Single or Double Pairs of Woolen Socks, Snow Boots, Long Johns, Lined Pants, Snow Pants, an Undershirt, a Sweater, a Jacket, a Snow Jacket, Hand Warmers, Wool Gloves, Snow Gloves, A Scarf, A Snow Mask or Ski Mask, Ear Muffs, Hats, and Sunglasses/Ski Goggles if it was sunny or windy out. 

All these accessories had a purpose, and as it got warmer some could be shed, depending on how much warmer it was, or what the weather was like.

Now for the South, “bundling up” seems to just imply close toed shoes, long pants and a jacket. In fact at work, a coworker kept looking at me funny, come to find out, it was the fact that I was wearing gloves. I was astonished, what was wrong with wearing gloves? My fingers were cold and I had to handle small objects for work, so I didn’t want my fingers to cramp!

“You kinda look like a serial killer, wearing gloves like that” My coworker said, jokingly. But then I started looking around, most people weren’t wearing any kind of gloves, the exception mostly being children with cutesy mittens. Those who did wear gloves wore just wool gloves, so loose they couldn’t manipulate anything.

So as far as I can tell, since they don’t have to deal with snowfall or sub-freezing temperatures, southerners use most things I think of as cold wear as fashion accessories. Someone may have a cute scarf loosely hung about the shoulders, but they will never have to tightly wrap it around their neck and mouth, hoping the cold doesn’t reach down their neck. Most countries as far as I know, tend to have a similar climate all over, but in the US at least, we have enough variety that what one person sees as a needed accessory to stave of chill, another sees as a fine addition to a “winter” outfit!

S/O to my teacher today, who changed out the time-limited test to a take home test. 

I was freaking out, I showed up 15 mins early , re-reading my notes, and biting my nails. He handed out the test and in big bold letter at the top:

“ONLINE TAKE HOME TEST, DO NOT TURN IN PHYSICAL COPY”

I swear I nearly wept for joy then and there

I wish there was a drink like coffee or energy drinks that gave me energy, but weren’t real bad for me

Ever get the feeling that time is moving slow for you? Like I’m pretty sure I’ve been screwing around for an hour and I just looked and 5 mins have passed

I feel like some higher power is giving me a second chance not to waste time

[thistimeitsparabola]

I’m just fishing for fuck’s sake

[thistimeitsparabola]

I opened a support ticket and the problem was fixed for my account,  this doesn’t mean its safe to play War Within with a mote amp yet, it just means a DE customer service rep fixed the issue on my own personal account. If you are affected by this glitch I would recommend opening a support ticket
