Stephen King's "The Shining"
I'm only 40% through, and man it's such an uncomfortable read at certain parts. His stories have some expected horror stuff, but the most scary horrors are the problems in ourselves.
Alcholism, bad temper, accidentally hurting the child and immediately regretting, regrets for bad life choices, uncertainty in the future, job insecurity...
It's like many problems you read hits a bit personally because there's everyone has a bit these problems. And the fear in the reading is not "oh shit a severed head" but it's a really personal reflection "shit am I like that; will I be like that?"
cendawanita 3 points 3 years ago
@unhedged ah yes, and famously written during his addiction years too - it feels so personal because it was :(
cendawanita 2 points 3 years ago
@unhedged ya, a lot of people speculate (i think he also confirmed a bit), a lot of The Shining was him working out how he could see he was also being a destructive force on his family. I think the fact was picked up by Kubrick, but his rendition of that, King famously hated.
unhedged 2 points 3 years ago
Why are you tagging imaginelizard?
I've read several of King's newer books and they seem to lack the oomph of his older stories. I wonder if his addiction-pickled brain writes better. Ya bad thought- maybe it's not correlated to addiction but it's age related.

I wasted my entire blood donation because I didn't eat enough beforehand and the nurse had to stop the donation halfway through. Felt like a total idiot and embarrassment in front of everyone who donated without a hitch

It's fine, my dude, can always go back and try again next time. But the thought of you trying to help is better than anyone so keep it up👍

I would have cried on the spot

Oh, I would have if someone told me right away the entire donation was useless

Taylor Swift Eras Tour (Singapore) tickets sale registration opens today at noon till 28/6.
This is not the ticket sale; this is registration so you can log in to buy tickets on 7/7 noon.
hyattpotter 1 point 3 years ago
I read in r/SG somewhere that someone called their credit card concierge services to buy the tickets for them and apparently it worked? At retail too.
hyattpotter 1 point 3 years ago
try and inform us xD
I have never used concierge services before tbh
unhedged 2 points 3 years ago
Ma'am, i can't afford a card that comes with concierge service!
In my youth i thought that was a pretty lame service, not realising that sports and concert tickets are can actually be SO hard to get. I thought just use money to buy, why do you also need to ask someone else to buy.

Annoyed_Crabby 1 point 3 years ago
Haha, i have to overcome my fear of letting people touchy touchy me if i ever wanna get one 🙈

Hey, welcome! Do take a tour around this place!

cendawanita 3 points 3 years ago
Double-checking for you guys on Lemmy: you can also see who upvoted right? It federates into a like on the microblog side.
Annoyed_Crabby 2 points 3 years ago
I don't think we can see who upvote and downvote tho, else i'd love to see who's the serial downvoter lol if it happened here
cendawanita 4 points 3 years ago
@dcx @Annoyed_Crabby lol i think because kbin was written as being both link aggregation like Lemmy but also microblogging like Mastodon, Calckey, Akkoma etc. And before Reddit, the expectation must be because the main audience will be bloggers who'll be visiting from federated spaces (chewah cam star trek). So upvote maps to likes; boosts is reblogs; downvotes go nowhere (since blogging platforms don't have these).
It's memang quite interpretative dance la - Calckey (and all the *keys) can give emoji reacts but it just shows up as likes on my Masto fork.
That's why I thought i better bring it up. It semi looks like Reddit but backend lain sikit.
Anyway.... I can see... But idk if adding a photo will add load so here's the direct link of this comm on kbin.social: https://kbin.social/...
Each comment has a More - then select Activity ok kesian runs away like Discord before the Trojan War
Annoyed_Crabby 4 points 3 years ago
Huh, interesting. So that's mean cannot see downvote over there as well.
whelp, now i cannot secretly upvote people now
cendawanita 3 points 3 years ago
@Annoyed_Crabby oh no, downvote also I can see, being a kbin user. It's the other microblog protocols that won't register anything. (if you feel nak lepas geram, this may be useful info, if you're adding any fedi accounts to your timeline/stream/subscription view (I assume you guys have this)
YourClarke 3 points 3 years ago
Damn I would need more time to get used to these haha
cendawanita 2 points 3 years ago
Betrayed by autocorrect, i wanted to say ok sekian lmao
Annoyed_Crabby 2 points 3 years ago
Very nice to expose serial downvoter and expel them. Ohh btw, is there any way you can check what's up with the huge discrepancy between registered user vs user-per-month? There's like 1533 inactive user for no apparent reason. Bot? Sleeper?
dcx 2 points 3 years ago
Oh yeah I looked into that.
- Users-per-month is only the count of users who created lemmy accounts on monyet.cc.
- Registered users includes users who have visited from federated sites. I'm not sure what triggers the "registration" - I suspect just viewing one of our subs is enough, since we aren't seeing any major volume of upvotes or subscriptions
- For our first day we also had a problem with someone running a bot account creation script. I added a captcha and it went away. At some point I'll probably purge these. (Not sure how many)
You can see the federated users in per-community subscription counts btw, e.g. !cafe is in the 80+ users.
Annoyed_Crabby 2 points 3 years ago
Ahh i see. From what i learned, i think visiting from another sub mean their account will be "registered" under the server, maybe to create cache or something. That's my hypothesis anyway ahaha
dcx 2 points 3 years ago
Oh! Just to add to that though, our stats are probably actually much larger than are reflected on those stats.
- There's this thing called the 90-9-1 rule - 90-99% of users lurk. I've found this to hold true on r/my and elsewhere.
- Especially on Lemmy where they have to create an account to even upvote - whereas most lurkers on reddit are probably registered.
- Lemmy doesn't seem to report pageview count
- Someone told me they switched over so they could get their news feed back
- So I suspect we may have as many as 3-5k daily active users, but just like on reddit, they lurk
If you're a lurker reading this, please do consider creating an account! There's no email address required. It's motivating for us to see higher signup numbers :)

So i've been lurking in one of the lemmy admin chat and...
good thing there's captcha

Queueing up to REGISTER to buy Taylor Swift concert tickets. This is just a taste of what's to come.
The bar is 350 pixels long. In 14 minutes, my progress was 18 minutes. Assuming linear progress on the bar, I expect to do it in...
350 px / 18px * 14 minutes = 272 minutes = 4.5 hours...
Annoyed_Crabby 1 point 3 years ago
Lul, just as i thought it will happen. Meme incoming 🙈
unhedged 1 point 3 years ago
Ok it's not as bad, the bar progress is non-linear lol. I think i finished the registration by 12.45 or so. So definitely not 4.5 hours.
Maybe the non-linearity is because at noon a bunch of people were all waiting with their index fingers hovering over the mouse button waiting to go. So there was a HUGE surge of traffic at noon, but once that cleared then it went quite smoothly.
If you try to register now the wait is only 30 seconds. So confirmed the wait is because of kiasu people like me.

I almost forgot that I promised my colleagues I'm going to get them karipap for breakfast.
Good news is, there are lots of karipap.
Bad news, they're out of karipap sardine 😢
