This is vaguely disturbing…

Thank you, autocorrect, for changing Grimer to Grinder in the caption. 🙄

“Walk closer to interact with this Pokestop.”

I’m literally sitting *inside* the Starbucks right now. 🙄

@FiXato I had to restart my phone the other day. I was sitting at home going through recent Pokemon captures and it kept thinking I was running across the street and back.

I haven’t noticed it so much with navigation, though. On the other hand, I’m not usually looking at the screen for more than the occasional glance when I’m using navigation.

Nothing like getting into work after a long weekend to 531 new emails

Saw graffiti saying “Fuck the Ops.” Someone really doesn’t like their server admin.

Saw a sign advertising a “radiation free building. Call for details.” I almost want to call and ask how they light it.

@sohkamyung I remembered that he fell for the Cottington Fairies hoax, but for some reason I keep forgetting about his belief in spiritualism.

I’ve always found the descriptions fascinating of how mediums would produce their effects. But this has to be the most elaborate one I’ve seen described. Especially the acrobat dressed in black and silently scaling the wall to sneak in the window and wave phosphorescent gauze around the room!

@FiXato Yeah, it’s open 10-5, plus occasional evening events, and it’s not close enough to the edge to be someone just outside (barring drift). And I can’t imagine they’re doing much maintenance past midnight, though maybe there’s a security guard who plays.

So spoofing’s still a thing, huh? I was hoping they’d found a way to at least mitigate it by now.

It’s still there… 4 full days and made it to closing time. Now that I understand the motivation mechanics a bit better, it makes more sense.

I’d assumed that motivation would keep decaying to 0 even without being attacked, and the Pokemon would eventually get bored and leave, rather than hitting a lower limit and staying. Which I suppose means you could end up with a Pokemon trapped forever in a gym if no one from another team ever visits. Edge case, but easy to imagine.

I put an Alolan Exeggutor in a gym at the botanical gardens I hiked on Sunday. It’s still there. No one has attacked the gym in 3 days – it would have fallen easily – and someone golden raspberried the whole team of defenders before closing time today!

My guess is most of their weekday visitors (it’s only open 10-5) aren’t in the Pokemon Go demographic. Now I’m wondering if it will make it until Saturday morning!

Letter from insurance company dated 8/17, arrived 8/27, informing that a dentist “will no longer be in [their] network as of 8/01/2019”

Apparently either the dentist or the insurance company has a time machine. 🙄

Realized that the reason kids don’t think they’re tired when they’re up really late is basically Dunning Kruger applied to sleep deprivation: They’re too tired to recognize how tired they are.

😂 Yeah, I guess our brains don’t really grow out of that, do they?

Neighbors are playing “Let it Go” on a keyboard as fast as they can. “It’s Flash Frozen!”

The rendition ended about halfway through the first verse with a piano keysmash and “aaaaargh!!!!”

@twotone Yeah, I generally leave spiders alone if they’re not in the way, for the same reason: They’re all-natural pest control!

Though the egg sac that hatched in the kitchen was an… interesting experience…

8YO, half-angrily: Look at all this bubble wrap. That needs to be popped. *Stares as if challenging me to disagree*
