Good morning Steemit
How are you today? Have any plans?
Our dishwasher broke yesterday, so my morning started by doing the dishes and lots of them. At the risk of sounding like a whiner, there are many times where I can't stand the feeling of touching a dish towel. You know the horrible feeling you get when nails go over a chalk board? Yeah, I get that feeling with some other things aswell, including touching dish towels. So doing the dishes alone can be challenging. I tried to make good use of the drying rack I still have though, so everything's done now.
My boyfriend will be trying to find someone to fix it today, so I hope this was the only time. Though I know that once we move, we will also have to do dishes by hand. Atleast until we move our stuff over there, but we'll be doing that once we're sure we want to live there. Oh well, first world problems, we'll survive!

I'm also doing laundry this morning and we will have to do some grocery shopping today, but other than that, the rest of the day will probably be filled with Steemit and Black Desert again. That, and I think I will be getting a phone call from one or two recruiters who wanted to call me back around this time.
Yesterday evening, my boyfriend hooked up the blueray player to the extra tv upstairs (which we looted from his house). We started watching Supernatural. He hadn't seen it before, I have the first 5 seasons on dvd and watched many more. I haven't seen the last season though, which I'm very sad about. The show's not on Netflix though, bah! I feel betrayed. Same goes for Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, of which I have also not seen the last season. And the saddest thing is, if it ever were to appear on Netflix here in the Netherlands, we'd be years and years behind and I'd have to wait many more years before I get to see the seasons I haven't seen. And by then, many more seasons will have been shown in the US already. Did I ever mention how much that sucks? No wonder many people still download illegally. There is simply no legal alternative at all.
Anyway, before I break out into a rant about that, I'll change topics.
This morning, there were two private messages on Steemit.chat again. I would have liked to say I kept my cool, but one reply went like this (pardon my french):
"Oh my god, no! Can you people stop doing this bullshit? What the hell happened to basic human decency? WORK for your success! Do you not understand how rude this is? Start reading blogs like these, they're not written for you to ignore: "
After which I linked yesterday's post: Understanding the Steemit chats.
A bit over the top maybe, but I'm getting so tired of these people. Everyone and their mother is writing blogs, saying begging is not the way to go, but the only thing that happens is this: People who already understand this (and write these same blogs) read them, pat each other on the back for a job well done and complain to each other about all the beggars. In the meanwhile, beggars completely disregard these posts and don't even open them, let alone read them. They continue on their jolley way of pissing others off and lowering the standards of the platform.
So tell me, do we continue to write this stuff and be ignored, or should we take the next step, which is flagging the beggars? I'd like to know your thoughts. Some I've heard on my previous post already and there was enough talk about flagging there...

There's a sense in which I'm beginning to feel sorry for your boyfriend, since things keep breaking down. Be nice to him today @playfulfoodie :D
I know, lots of bad luck lately! Luckily we get through it together. He got pizza today, so he's happy :D
I believe that the beggars, spammers and such will notice that this is not a get rich quick platform and they will leave eventually. Leaving the people behind who do try to add value. It'll just take some time.
I totally agree with you on netflix. I always advocate to others that they need to create a portal to which producers can add their series. Just like spotify for instance. I don't care if an episode will be added a day later than that it is aired, but as long as it doesn't fall seasons-far behind like some shows now on netflix.
Good luck with your laundry and the dishes-to-come!
Haha love the image. Isn't he cute in his own little creepy way?
Yeah, maybe the beggars will leave eventually, though it'll take a while still. We're not really anywhere near mainstream yet, so there's plenty more new people still to come.
Yes! I really don't care if I have to wait a day or two (or even a week or a month) for an episode. I don't mind being behind on the US for a little while, but the difference is currently so big, by the time you finally get to watch the latest season, you've already seen every single spoiler fly by on the big bad internet. A year before.
I just started on steemit (some weeks ago). I find it really hard to get any attention. Especially after HF with the votes drop. I do not care about money. It is just to get some attention a simple like (yeah, upvote on Steemit). I will not ask people for any upvote.
I joined some days before the latest HF and I must say it was nicer before.
I keep my hope and try. See you.....
I have to say, I'm seeing a big drop in upvotes on my own posts aswell! I'm not sure why this is, though I suspect it's because of all the new members coming in. More competition, meaning it's easier for your posts to go by unnoticed.
Good Good morning : )
Hopefully the beggars will stop, but for me at the moment it is just getting worse and worse.
Was about to come up with something funny about your dishwasher, but after seeing the meme by @thetimminator I decided not to give it a try and give him the credit. 😉
Haha it is a nice one :D
Yeah, it's getting worse for me too. I hope one day they'll stop, but I'm afraid that day is very far away!
