Status: At Dreamhack Winter with work. Come say hi if here! I'm with the other exhibitionists, just slightly outside the main exhibition!

I'm with the other exhibitionists
Exhibitionism is the act of exposing in a public or semi-public context those parts of one's body that are not normally exposed – for example, the breasts, genitals or buttocks. The practice may arise from a desire or compulsion to expose themselves in such a manner to groups of friends or acquaintances, or to strangers for their amusement or sexual satisfaction or to shock the bystander.
It's a Wikipedia page but both the Onebox and the images on the page are NSFW

Status: Been chatting with someone for the past week or so. Seemed nice, hit it off well. Suggested we should go on a date some time to meet in person, maybe this weekend.
Fast forward to yesterday:
: <usual small talk back and forth> ... What's your plans for tomorrow?
: I'm at work until like 4pm, after that no real plans.
: Cool, I got the whole Friday off. We should meet. Message me when you're off!
[Abridged, obviously]
Today:
: Hey, how are you? What's the plan?
: Pretty busy, got a lot of things to do today.
[Didn't you say you're free all day?]
: Still up for a date though?
: Yeah, but you'd have to come pick me up to go to <some_place>.
: Sure, not a problem. I'd like that.
: When do you have time?
: I'm free now, so whenever it's good for you.
2 hours pass, no reply, so I follow up with a sentence actually ending in a question mark instead:
: So what time works for you?Result: blocked!
What the actual fuck?! How can you go from yesterday suggesting we meet today, to being busy but asking me to pick you up, to blocking me when I ask for the time?
I fucking hate being stood up, but how hard would it be to just say "Sorry, I changed my mind." Either "not today, maybe another time" or "not today, not ever." But at least fucking answer something.I hate people!

Status: I've been documenting our code at work (which, because it is Python, is a bit of a pain) and putting in cross-links to the libraries we depend on. Which is pretty awesome when it works, as it makes your code feel like an integrated piece of a larger whole. But one library... it has online docs, but they totally fail to describe any aspect of how to use it. At all. It's just a trivial installation guide. No online description of the actual API exists at all, not even of the most basic minimum effort automatic derived from the source by introspection kind. This means that, while I can link to the official docs, there's absolutely no point in doing so. I also know that the guy concerned knows how to handle this; he's done it right in several other libraries (that we are using).
Filed under: why do I fucking bother?

It's cunty for sure, but at least you found out now that they're not worth bothering with and not several dates later.

Sounds like the "avoidant" type, so, yeah, good riddance.
In completely unrelated status news: Why do women who contact me over that dating website not bother to fill out their profile at least partially? I mean, their picture is blurred out in the beginning, I only know that they're in my rough vicinity and that's about it.
I mean, yeah, sure, you do like travelling. But: Get in line. At least 99% of the other women on that platform also mention that. Make yourself interesting for God's sake.
Sometimes it does lead you astray a bit, though - one woman I contacted had "My favourite place: The library".
"Hey," I thought, "while not being a great opener to talk about that, at least it's something I can relate to!"
Turned out that she liked the "atmosphere" only. Plus, while she did answer promptly, I only got one word answers.

I would think it depends more on how many kids he's had, but that's beyond my personal experiences.

Since experience has shown it to be not that life-long after all, there’s no need to for him to worry too much about it.

@topspin well, let's just hope at least the latter two had premarital agreements.

Status: Writing a regex to capture the first relative-path-like part of a string that might not contain it, but only if it's the first word-like part (i.e. if a thing with slashes appears later on after words, don't count it). Oh, and it must be image-like for the end.
So far I've come up with:
^(?'image'\/.*\/data\/uploads\/[\S]+(\.jpg|\.jpeg|\.png)[^\s])?[\s\S]*$
But it doesn't work if I have the extensions in there.
Sigh.

Fuck it. So long as it has

Also name the remainder text for clarity.

If I remember right,

Status: There's no escape from Charles Schwab. Damn it! If I wanted an account with them, or TD Ameritrade for that matter, I would've opened one. Oh, and it looks like AC Moore is closing too.
Wait, that was pre-Thanksgiving status!
Friday, I found out the Sears at the good(ish) mall closed. Yesterday also turned out to be the last day for my town's KMart. My friend and I stopped by after the toy show. It was like going to a wake. What was left of the entire store took up maybe another section of floor as big as the registers and the rest was stripped bare. I had deliberately steered clear of Toys R Us during their final month so I wouldn't have to see this. It has been a bad couple of years for things I liked to do and places I liked to shop.
The toy show wasn't much better. I was hoping to make $371 so I could buy a Turtles In Time arcade cabinet from Walmart. I only got to $233. 6 hour show and money stopped coming in before noon (3 hours in). Lots of people...grossly overweight people...filling the aisles but not buying anything. Judging from prices, I can't say I really blame them. Everything was at least double retail price. Several dealers had new(ish) waves of Star Wars figures and were trying to get $40 each. Retail is $20 but they sell so poorly that my area skips three of every four waves (it's maddening because I do collect and have to go online for damned near everything). They did ESB Han Solo and he's $10 everywhere online but never shipped to stores here. But if you want fucking Jyn Erso or Gold Bathrobe Creepster or #WheresMarySue or Constable Background Cameo From 2015 they've got them stacked to the rafters. Incidentally, I had bought a few of those ESB Han Solos and couldn't flip them for $15. I really thought since they didn't ship here somebody would pick one up. Generally speaking, it seemed like dealers just got tired of giving stuff away and said "fuck it, I'll make my table on two sales or not at all." I can't really blame them either. Gone are the days when somebody might bring $100 and buy 4-6 reasonably priced toys at the same show. Nope, they've only got a nickel and used their stellar money management skills to pay $10 to get in and try to spend it. God damn it that makes me mad.
Oh, and get this. Everybody knows eBay's been charging sales tax for several months, right? Well, now there's a new angle to it. I've bought two items since that started and noticed that eBay was making separate charges for the item/shipping and tax. Well, now eBay's shifted the transaction fees from the tax charge to sellers. So there's another 29c + 3% being yanked out of hyper anorexic profit margins. It never ends. They won't be happy until nobody buys or sells online except Amazon.
