Today was actually not too bad. Public transportation is still terrible but at least the sidewalks are now less tiring thanks to people having created little paths you can walk on without sinking into deep snow. Stairs still suck, tho, ngl.
|
Sideways get plowed here, along with roads, however the county takes ages to even start it.
I feel safer on a bus in this weather. |
Really not into work right now. With all this snow chaos, the lockdown stuff and the fact that I've been trapped in one of the circles of programming hell for weeks and no exit in sight...
|
Everyone here's been talking about the snow and... yeah. Apparently it's some sort of record cold for where I live and of course I had to be sent out for shopping during it. Really wish I wasn't.
Hope y'all are keeping well though, I've been gone the past two days performing summoning rituals.~ |

Gacha idol games! Over the past couple months I'd been saving up the equivalent of $400 in currency for a girl I wanted who came out last night.

I really don't like posting negative stuff on the forum, but today I finally received an official and final reply to a complaint I had raised about a hospital doctor. I've had many bad experiences over the years but I never once complained. This was extreme and I cried my eyes out every single day for weeks afterwards.
I was sent to her because my condition was life threatening. The doctor in question spent the entire appointment deliberately degrading and dehumanising me due to her intense hatred and bigotry. She also refused to listen to my symptoms, which lead to something very important being missed. I was unable to get the treatment I needed for a very long time due to her, in fact I'm still waiting. My life has been utter hell. She could have killed me because she sees me as a disgusting piece of scum that doesn't deserve to live. My GP knew all about her - she used to work with the doctor in question - and asked me to officially complain. Today's final response made a series of false excuses for the delay in treatment (I know for a fact they're lies after speaking to her receptionist pre-complaint) and that she was actually polite and courteous with me the whole time. The trust (not her) are sorry that I felt offended. All I want is for her - or them - to say that her behaviour was wrong and that she is sorry for the way she treated me, that's it. I just want the next patient from a demographic she despises to be treated with dignity and resepect. Nobody should have to go through what I did, but then apparently I deserve it. 😭 |
Do you have other options you'd feel like pursuing, or was this kind of it?
|
I will persue it as far as I can. Another doctor told me about the proper channels. An ombudsman is next I think.
I know there's no point, but the way I see it is, if I raise enough fuss, then she might think twice about doing it with the next poor soul that gets sent to her. |
You're way too kind and considerate, you know that? I hope things turn out the way you want them to! :)

You know, I've been thinking about PCs badge system. Since its inception I managed to get only a single one while others seem to have no trouble at all getting a bunch of them. I suspect I've had multiple instances where I was close to getting one but then maybe a sort of "timer reset" happened that brought me back to square one. Or ,alternatively I just severely underestimated those requirements and my performance was just lacking? Then again even new users don't seem to have too much trouble getting them. So, maybe it's not the quantity but rather the quality? If that is the case it makes me wonder: how can I improve?
^random things I think about on a sleepless night <_< |

btw i find it rather hilarious how i literally got modded for M&G because of how i keep greeting people, but i still have the bronze tier badge for that :p brown's a nice color tho, so i'm keepin it for as long as people don't notice lol |
i never gave badges much thought, every time i got one I thought someone messaged me but it turned out to be a badge xD
|
Right but where's the reputation system?
Mine would be in the dumpster. Maybe don't bring it back. |
I only have one badge too, but I didn't even know what they were for until recently.

Nice change of flair and signature, Roni. Not as good as mine, but you know. It's up there.
|
Hi Hi! What is up? How was valenitne's? (What it's already 19th!!!) Is life back to normal?
I skipped Lunch today. I threw up during the gap given for lunch, after which i didn't have any food. |
Quote:
2. It was just me studying XD 3. Life was always normal hehe Oof sad to hear about you throwing up. You ok? |
Quote:
LIFE IS NORMAL?! how dat possible WOW D: I am felling a little better now, thanks for asking. What will you do on saturday? |
Oh nice. Happy belated birthday to your grandmother!
Life is normal for me since I didn't go out much before the lockdown anyway :p I'm good too :D |

Nope. Still a few hours left hehe

I managed to eat a little for lunch today but my appetite has deserted me once again so that's a thing.
|
I love eating tbh hehe

Hey everyone~
I hope everyone is doing well today. I wish I could decorate my profile like everyone else and my flare as well. I'm tight on money so can't donate to PC yet at this time, eventually though I like too, showing me contributing more to the fourm. Since It's really nice here with good people and makes it enjoyable to be a part of this community as well. Alas got to do proirtites over wants such a life as an adult. ( -,.,-) |
Heyo Leaf!
Wait I thought adults were free to do whatever they want. |

Valentines is pretty much a normal time for us anyway. We sometimes do stuff for it, but I prefer to treat every day like Valentines day ❤ |

There's a lot of truly awesome flairs on PC, both minimalist / plain and css heavy. People here are so good at theming it blows my mind! |
Quote:
I'm a minimalist type person in real life so mine would be very simple if I could do my own flair and decorate my profile. Yes, I see alot of talented artists in that field I admire there stuff. |
some really do love to go all out. i personally prefer thinner more minimalist themes myself, so that's why my flair is super narrow lol.
if you wanna learn about flair designing basics Leaf, there's always this guide :) |
There's also always the option to preview what your flair looks like. So its easy to spend a while to tinker with even some basic things like background color or font, etc.
And yes: sometimes less is more. Though I wouldn't mind being decent at css to try out more things. |

Just spent the last 45 minutes overhauling my theme...at least half of that time was spent swearing at imgur because of update failure messages. That site has gone downhill something awful since it introduced ads and premium membership...I almost miss Imageshack and Photobucket. Almost.

I'm good thank you! I hope you're well too :) Slick theme btw! |
Imgur has gotten worse since they decided to emphasize being a ~*~Community~*~ and tried to set up social and sharing features that literally nobody was asking for. Like, we like you but you’re an image upload service. Stay in your lane
|
Quote:
I'm a little more on top of things, I think. Last couple of weeks have been awful, but it's getting there. Maybe. Hopefully. Ta~ |

|
Imgur, a community of frustrated users who just want to upload pictures but are forced to jump through hoops or smash through a paywall...why am I not surprised by this.
|
Photobucket... Wow I used to use that a lot back in the day in my youth.
|
I take it imgur has done some annoying stuff over the years but I don't notice because my account is years old and/or I just log in to access my own images and upload more?
Quote:
Profile page customization idk about though, I've never bothered with mine and really I have that bit disabled Quote:
you spend your childhood thinking that adulthood will be great, then you get there and find out it's not and you don't know what the fuck you're doing |

Skimming through this conversation, I use imgur for posting images on these forums/in signatures, and I use giphy for posting gifs because imgur has a fit over it, and I can just add gifs to favourites so I can access them quickly. Like this!
https://media3.giphy.com/media/Kn7qMgVpi7PMh9x1An/giphy.gif?cid=ecf05e47ee082807d739fc8ecdb44028e5b32d540f702c18&rid=giphy.gif It means I can just keep using the same URL and don't have to upload the same gif constantly when I wanna use it. Making a post flair was like, the first thing I did after signing up here. I just signed up, made my introduction post and went straight to the profile settings. Or maybe it was the other way around.~ I just play around with colours until I see what I like, a couple conversations here with people have started because I changed my flair/account theme, I'll just try and play around with things that look nice. |
Due to imgur's size limits, I find myself using imgbb a lot. They're much more lenient.
|
I just throw stuff into my Dropbox and get a public link. Can't get much more control than that.
|
Whenever I tried uploading my Empoleon gif to imgur, it would always upload as a video, not a gif. I found giphy to work better with uploading gifs.
|
I just upload it on Discord lol (on a DM or something). Then copy link and embed them here.
|
I dont think discord uploads are always permanent I've seen them expire before, I think
|
Wait seriously? They have never expired for me tho...
|
Hello and good morning/afternoon/night to everyone on PC~!
I hope you're all having a great today, please take care and see you around the fourm~! 🌿Leaf |
Hello Leaf! :D
|
I can't say I've ever had Discord uploads expire on me, but I've also never really paid attention to it. I'll usually just download them anyways.
Hey Leaf, and everyone else.~ |
Hello Aisaka!
|
Hi PG, not sleeping yet? Hi Aisaka!
|
|
I'd love some sleep myself, it's not even 10am yet (the usual time I wake up) and I kept getting woken up last night. Not much fun when your family snores. Hope the rest of y'all are well rested though.

https://pa1.narvii.com/6047/638e4bf2ce31d6ccc3bc573cdf58c98c9f789e88_hq.gif Eli Ayase, known for ballet skills, being quarter-Russian, the student council president, and basically the responsible mom friend of the group. She's pretty great.~ |
yeah i think that was someone else? haha i don't know if it's her being blonde specifically, but something about seeing her for the first time just sorta drew me in. i dunno. time to do some research now :p really interesting to hear that she's part Russian too! are there any other characters with quarter-nationalities? (or whatever you call it lol)
|
It probably was now that I think about it. Her ponytail is really cute though, I have to say.~
There's a few other "foreigner" characters, since most of the characters are just Japanese. There's Mari, who's Italian-American and Japanese, Emma, who's Swiss, Lanzhu who's from Hong Kong, and Mia who's from New York. A fun part of these characters is they'll often speak in these languages and it's part of what they're known for, Eli's "catchphrase" is in Russian, Mari frequently speaks English words or phrases, Emma's known for saying "Bouno" in Italian, Lanzhu is the first character to sing a song in four languages (Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese and English) and Mia speaks full English sentences, has a song entirely in English, and is known by fans for saying "Shit!" |

https://i.imgur.com/18Umvn9_d.webp?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium She's the one the far left (with Lanzhu being the one in the middle). She's an interesting character, being from New York, she's relatively new but as the story is releasing new chapters, I'm becoming super excited to see more of her. What we know of her is she's 14 but is already a senior in high school due to being immensely talented as a music composer. Her family, the Taylors, are super famous composers and she was scouted by Lanzhu for her ability to compose several songs in a single night for Lanzhu to sing as an idol. |
