What's Bothering You?

seems like it. even a few months ago there were still plenty of posts per day.
Yeah, there was a lot going on back in June that led quite a few people to leave for good. Matter fact, it was my birthday (June 9th) when I started to realize it all.
 
i’m still active, i just don’t post a lot anymore because there’s nothing to post about really because of how slow things are as of recent. there’s not a lot of new threads anymore.

edit: ***thought this was the random thoughts thread, my bad.

I did notice in the last few days that the site seems to be less active, but I think that there are also many students who use TBT and are back in school now.

Anyways, I have a number of things bothering me, mostly work related. I still feel a communication barrier at times at work since it's 100% in Japanese now, and that causes things to take longer than it should for me. I'm worried about when I will be able to finally get the point where there is no barrier for me so that I can make better progress in my career and be less stressed.
 
(Don't really have any dead by daylight friends to chat to about this, and it's still on my mind)

The other day I was playing a few matches of the 2 Killers vs 8 Survivors event, and as killer it can take a while to be put into a match. And playing as survivor to pass the time, and it wasn't going well and i was extremely looking forward to play as a killer called the Spirit, and have fun.
Finally got into a game, and as the two killers and I could see what my other partner will play as, and they chose Trapper. Perfect~ We would be a really good team, and when we loaded into the map, I saw we had a good map that would benefit us both.

I ran off to look for survivors, and tried using the Spirits skill as best as I could. I noticed however, that alot of survivors were getting gens done, and I could see my partner, until I noticed...he was standing in the exact place we loaded into.
I went over there, and I was so damn disapointed, I even saw survivors around him and poking him, and this killer wasn't doing anything. I saw him move an inch when I 'attacked' him, so the player wasn't AFK.

There was no way a single killer can do anything with 8 survivors, and of course they completed all the generators.
There were three survivors who were actually nice, and stayed to 'lose' even though I told them to go. It was definitely nice they wanted to do that, but I didn't want them to lose like that. Wasn't fair for the rest of us.
I did report them for not participating. :/
 
My boss has asked me to go buy two big whole milk before i get to work today, and I am super peeved off about it.
As I already told her ex I won't ever be buying milk again, and it looks like I'll have to tell her this is the LAST time I buy milk. They want me to buy milk before I get to work, meaning I will be late as the only place that has milk at this current time, is in the oppisite direction of where I walk to work.

To make matters worse, and the main reason I don't want to buy milk anymore is that my shoulder blades have a problem, I dunno what that problem is, but the more weight I put on myself, the worse the pain in my shoulder blades get.
It's weird, because even my small shoulder bag I always wear with less weight always gives it pain after work. Stress? Not sure.

Add on the fact that they always leave the shop a mess for me in the Monday morning, and I'll be working by myself along with dealing with the school morning rush, this morning is going to be so damn stressful.
 
I think I'm going to give up on LGBT specific Discord servers from now on. I started moderating a transgender server recently and the amount of creeps that try to join is exhausting to deal with. Reading user reports and seeing how weird they get is very distressing. I've moderated three other servers in the past and none of them have had this much drama. On top of that, I'm a very far left leaning person, but the kind of people that are attracted to those kinds of servers are toxic about it. The recent events in America are just handled with zero nuance in those places and it's tiring. No matter how many LGBT servers I join I see more people advocating for things I find too extreme.

At this point I think I'm just going to create my own Discord server, but make it LGBT friendly instead of LGBT focused so I can minimize the number of creeps and extremists that join.
 
This isn't a big bother considering what everyone above is posting about (and I apologize if this seems dismissive) I don't intend for it to be that way! But it's really weird how many bots are making it into the forum now. Am I the only one that feels that way about this? It feels like every day/week I see some crazy Russian bot spamming a wall of text sites.

And then there was a registered bot that felt like they could actually be a member, but something was clearly way off. I hate that it's such a reoccurring thing now that I'm being suspicious of any new account.

I don't like this,Google. It's so scummy how they're trying to force people to use this.
At least give us an option to turn it off.
 
I think that works great for when looking up search engine images. Like putting 'birds in flight before 2020' before AI started to rise and overtake everything. But I don't think just regular searches work like that since it will give me an 'AI Overview' anyway, front and center that I have to scroll too far to see any actual human content.

It would be nice to disable it and not be forced to use their mind control garbage. It's really sad people are calling AI their partners. And not realizing it was intentionally created by someone with ulterior motives.
 
The bots/scammers is so, so bad on social media. ^%^$&$%^#%^R^E%@#H
I already said it here many times, but I'm a mod in a (writing) community on Tumblr and it can get pretty bad there because it's a big community.

So many scammers: **rn bots, Impersonators, fake beta readers/marketers from Fiverr or Amazon, sketchy google mail addresses, WhatsApp/or Telegram job/financial scams and bait stuff that I can't say on this site (manly scammers pretending to be young, attractive girls to lure others.)

I made it a habit to check the comments on posts to make sure everything is fine. Because if these creeps aren't making posts, they will surely be in the comments and today I found one. It was underneath a post of someone asking for help with some reserch they're doing for a story they're writing and this weirdo was under it with 'Dm I can help you'. Something didn't seem right about it, so I hovered my arrow over the username and my suspicions were correct. The profile is brand new and the only image was that of a youngish looking girl in a pose that I can't say here. Not only that; the person who was asking for help is a MINOR!

As always, I would give these creeps a hard ban hammer.

I'm losing it.

I want to ask if we could make the community private, but then everyone else who isn't a problematic creep won't be able to join.

My eyes are once again bothering me, mainly my left eye. Dry itchy, slightly weeping sometimes.
Gonna try another eye droplet thing again - just wish I could stop missing putting it in. I don't think i have hayfever. It started at my uncles, and i took stuff for it a few days after and for a bit, all was well. Now it's back.

Also have to take my youngest cat to the vets, some ear thing we don't know what it is. He's acting the same as usual so that's good. Just not looking forward to getting him in the carrier and hate stressing him out by taking him to the vets.
