Things That Annoy You

[Shane for Wax]

Whelp, had another fucking ER visit that accomplished nothing, and the painkillers make me feel horribly dizzy.

Hey we can be twins because that's happened twice for me too in the past month.

why does my cat only want to be affectionate and lay quiet next to me when it's time for me to get up.

Image macros supplanting human thought and communication. Which bothers me as much because it has to take longer to find an appropriate macro than to actually think of something to say, but it doesn't take nearly as much thought.

Also, bronies. And I don't mean people who enjoy the show, I mean the people who seem to believe everyone on the internet should enjoy the show or die in a bleeding pile of pony pictures. Of all the groups to ever surface on this site, they're ranked right below neo-nazis for my urge to crush them. I think this is tied to the above as well. But it's not like they really hurt anyone, it's just this impulse. Like having a walnut and a jackhammer, you want to do it, but you know it's both unreasoning and overkill.

None of my business, I know; and feel free to refrain from answering, but what happened?
To both of you.

The first one was for severe leg pain that my doctor told me to go to the ER for, because birth control is known for increasing your chance of blood clots. Had an ultrasound done and didn't find anything.

The second one was severe abdominal pain that I've had for two weeks now, and they didn't find anything based on my blood work. They sent me home without any further testing.

It was at its worst when every thread on every website was being derailed by them. That seems to have died down a bit in light of the backlash, thankfully.

Aye, they seem to be a lot better behaved nowadays. Still quite a ways to go, but they've become somewhat more bearable as of late.

That said, it would be nice if the whole fandom went the way of rickrolling and people who say "I herd u liek mudkipz".

It doesn't take that long for me because I've got them all bookmarked in handy categories with descriptions... So...

It's also a common thing on tumblr. I try to keep it there but sometimes I use one here when I just can't figure out an appropriate text response.

As for the question about my health.

Both times I was vomiting heavily and peeing with slight blood. I also had a bunch of back pain. But they've done a billion tests and everything comes back negative for anything significant

I see nothing wrong here. Of course, I feel both ways towards hardcore Bronies and anti-Bronies.

That's odd...

The symptoms would heavily indicate a possible problem with the urinary tract such as an infection, yet nothing came back?  No sign of infection or anything?

That's just weird.

I have been plagued by them for years but nothing's come back these past two times. They get fluids in me and stuff then send me home and I'm fine

[SpaceProg]

Huh... well... If you feel better, I guess that's what matters; at least at present.

One thing I've always wondered with the really creepy fandoms like Homestuck, MLP, and the obsessive fringes of FF7, is have the companies owning those properties ever attempted any kind of damage control, made any kind of public statement on the insanity of their fans, or attempted to keep stuff like the FF7 kidnapping case and people naming their kids after MLP characters out of the press?

On that note, has Hasbro never tried to block something like Bronycon? I would think they'd try to keep some distance between their company and the horrible, horrible fanbase it's spawned. After all, they sell toys for little girls, and they have a family-friendly image to protect.

On topic, any members that live in the northeast US might be aware of the awful stench of sulfur and other industrial chemicals that you pass through any time you're heading toward NYC on the New Jersey Turnpike.

Why would they? Fans make those companies shittons of money (not to mention the fringe loonies tend to be extremely loyal), non-fans who don't enjoy their shenanigans do not.

What Art said...while they likely don't actively encourage it, they don't really care, so long as the ratings and/or money keep flowing.
