I got an opportunity to join yet another RPG...

Which would normally be awesome. The premise seems interesting and the GM is pretty good and he is making a homebrew setting with the players...

...But it is played in another city.

...And I already regularly go there due to the other two games I am in as well as other hobbies. (I used to live there and moved a 100km away just recently.)

Now, unless we can play it through Roll20 or Skype or something I simply cannot join the game as I can't afford to travel that often. (And, what with having a wife and kids, I need to stay at home as well occasionally...)
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Why are there so many webcomics is about introverts and how oh so amazing they are? I'm about as introverted as you can get and I'm fucking sick of it. Hell, I was sick of it months ago. It's like the 90's nostalgia or My Little Pony craze all over again.

Come to think of it, shit like this is probably why I have so little interest in human interaction in the first place.

Why are there so many love songs? It's a cry for attention with quite a bit of wishful thinking thrown in.

Oh thank goodness no.
But it does nothing for the pain it's supposed to help with.

Some people don't get any relief from Naproxen.  For me, it works well. 
It's Ibuprofen that doesn't do dick for me.

My laptop is doing this thing where it randomly makes my mousepad stop working. Excuse me while I go disembowel a kitten out of rage.

Trying to make a modpack for my server, and Minecraft is giving me a "needle not found in haystack" error.  I get the humour, but...that's not a very helpful name for an error.

Despite having made sure my alarm was switched off on my alarm clock, it still went off this morning anyways, on my day off.

And yes, the switch was still off when I checked.

How the fuck is it that I keep getting alarm clocks with touchy alarm switches?  Or is that just how they are for everyone?

Today I learned that Newegg is run by a bunch of incompetent shitwaffles. We got two modules of RAM there as a package deal. One of them was failing, so they told me to send in the one that was failing for a replacement. Just got an email: "We're sorry, we can't complete this order because you didn't send us both modules. And we're fucking assholes, hurr durr." I never want to buy another fucking thing at that shithole.
Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

Walmart apparently doesn't believe in providing associates with the next three weeks of schedule anytime in advance.

I'm finding out my new schedule Saturday, supposedly.  Which is also the START of the new week.  And I may have to work that day.  And it would be nice to know NOW if I am, but unfortunately, I don't know BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T FUCKING UPDATE THE SCHEDULE!

What the fuck are the first shift people supposed to do, wake up incredibly early just to check their schedules to make sure they're working THAT DAY?

Ugggghhhhhhhh.......

This is why people hate their jobs.

I dropped my smartphone and the touchscreen blew up.

Lumia phones are not worthy of the mantle of Nokia. I've dropped some of the older phones from higher onto concrete without a problem...
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."

Somehow "sea-lioning" became a part of the Official Social Justice Vocabulary.

I understand the point the comic is trying to make and think it's valid, but everything I know about internet discussions and the social justice movement tells me this is going to become yet another get-out-of-rational-argument-free card. Because we needed more of those.

The good news: I helped my dad rescue a little black kitten.
The bad news: SOME SHITGOBBLING CUNTBUCKET DUMPED A SICK KITTEN IN PLAIN VIEW IN THE MIDDLE OF OCTOBER. Not to mention she had the fucking nerve to recruit her young daughter to chase the kitten into the woods. And this kitty is sick, with infected eyes, worms, ear mites, and a fever. What kind of heartless bastard dumps her child's pet in the woods as soon as it gets sick?! What kind of parent sets that example?! Oh, I know, A SHITSTAINED ASSWIPE WHO'S TOO MUCH OF A FUCKING WORTHLESS WASTE OF OXYGEN TO UTILIZE ANY OF THE LEGITIMATE OPTIONS FOR DEALING WITH A SICK CAT.
Long Live The Queen.
