Very very shiny.
I can't figure out how to get the correct time going on these forums. Anyone know? It's says I'm posting at 2pm, but that is in the future.

Most likely it's getting the time from the actual location the server's in... it's located in Miami, Florida.
Naturally, it will post with its own time for you. But if you want to get the correct time, you should check your profile. I just woke up, so I don't remember. I'll have to check and edit this message in a sec.
I'm rather irked that this forum seems to drop me outside the thread immediately after making a post. I get that it's a nice idea in theory, but in practise it's rather silly and I don't care for it.
That said, the fact that it notifies you if you get ninjaed is a nice touch.

I've tried fiddling around in the account/profile settings but can't seem to find anything for date and time. Thanks though. If you find it, definitely let me know.

Also, why when I post in quick reply it posts in the newest updated thread instead of the one I'm reading? o.O
Google Instant keeps re-enabling itself on me. It's really annoying.
My parents fighting. My dad being an arrogant asshole. My mom having the temper of a volcano.
I bought really cheap nail polish and I have to touch it up every day. #firstworldproblems
My family calling me male names and pronouns when they think I'm not around and therefore can't hear them. :'( :'( :'(
I have another, but I'll think it over and it may get a F&B thread
Running into former classmates and having to explain how crappy you're life has been since you last saw them.Or worse, having to pretend you give a flying fuck about their life.

I am so sick of people making assumptions about my character because of how short her hair is, or how flat her chest is or who she sleeps with.Huh?
I'm so fucking sorry she doesn't match up to your idea of how she should be. She's not your feckin' fap material. She's a dynamic character who is more than a pair of breasts and a vagina. Get feckin' used to it.

Those little panic attacks about my rapidly decreasing intelligence that like to hit whenever my fibro fog worsens? Yeah. Very annoyed. Coming close to a meltdown in the middle of class is humiliating.
Shane, I'm diabetic - it hasn't slowed me down any - you just have to take the meds and be sensible.Yeah, I'm told. My grandfather (RIP) was diabetic as well and he didn't let it slow him down. He golfed a lot and built stuff. The problem is that I have a bunch of other things wrong and that's why it annoys me to get this news. It's just my body being a troll even more and I am not amused.
*hugs*QuoteThose little panic attacks about my rapidly decreasing intelligence that like to hit whenever my fibro fog worsens? Yeah. Very annoyed. Coming close to a meltdown in the middle of class is humiliating.
I see no evidence of any decrease in intelligence, much less a rapid one. You're still the smart, witty, awesome DeadpanDoubter you've always been. :)
Have you managed to find a replacement therapist for the DBT? Or at least a counselor to talk to? Everything you're describing sounds exactly like what I go through during a depressive episode -- a total lack of luster, no drive, no passion... just existing.
*hug*
If you can find the right therapist, I have faith that you can regain your passion, et al. It takes time, but it'll be worth it in the end.
As always, I'm here if you ever need to vent about anything.

I'm no Gaga fangirl, but...people who keep saying "She should change her looks to be conventionally attractive, then she'd be REALLY PRETTY AND HOT!"?Actually, the biggest reason I like her is because she pisses off people like that.
STFU and sit the fuck down. And don't you move a fucking muscle until I'm done ranting, or I'll cut your fucking head off.
You wonder why girls have image issues? You wonder why women obsess over their looks? You wonder why females of a disturbingly low age are getting plastic surgery? Because YOU tell them to change their looks so they'll be 'acceptable'. Because YOU don't understand that not everyone wants to look like a cookie cutter woman. Because YOU don't understand that individuality and being happy in your own body is more important than making every gynephile in a 5-mile radius want to hump you.
Fuck you very much.

Hell if I know, that's why I want to try to get my doctor to send me to a dermatologist. That is if both of my insurances cover for it. I thought I might have hernidentitis suprativa but I am not sure. I just know that I have always had problems but really flared up after I had my make up done for Glamour Shots pictures back in 2000.
My 8-year-old cousin. My aunt and uncle have a lot of money, they make close to $200K a year. This is easily three times as much as the rest of the family. Whenever my cousin comes over to my house, I get to listen to, "My parents have a bigger house than you. My parents have better furniture than you. My parents have a better car than you. My parents have better clothes than you," on and on. I'm 22 years old, and I'm being bullied by an 8-year-old. His parents tell him to shut up, but as he's never disciplined, he keeps it up. Once I came home in my waitress uniform, and he was visiting. He said, "You have a crappy job, my dad makes close to $500 a day."
"your daddy is rich because he sold your soul to the devil"

I get to be their live in baby-sitter until Thursday, and tonight we went out at this expensive seafood restaurant to eat. My aunt says, "I'm paying, get whatever you want." It's really awkward eating at a restaurant where the cheapest dish is close to $30.

My debit card info was stolen and about $400 was charged to my account (at least they were kind enough to leave me 75 fucking cents) while I'm trying to save $600 for hair removal.

Oh, I use a very local credit union and I don't think they offer temporary cards (I didn't ask directly for one, but I did ask about not using my old card and requesting a new one, while sullenly saying I'd have to wait).

15-17 awake/7-9 asleep. Anything too far over on one or the other usually indicates some sort of health problem.
Trigger warning about rape ahead:
When people make victim-blaming or slut-shaming rape 'jokes' then proceed to act completely baffled when people get mad at them for it. Then they get mad when it's explained why victim blaming or slut-shaming rape 'jokes' are considered offensive and stop listening to you.
Here you go, Cait.

This site recommended for anyone passing through Retail Hell.
The store where I work has a clearance section that sells brand-new but out-of-season clothes for as little as 1/50 their original price. I shit you not. A woman today bought $30 jeans for $0.23 and I have a few $25 skirts that were reduced to $0.47 apiece. On top of that, every now and then we'll offer a FURTHER discount (at the moment it's 50% off the already massively reduced prices) so it's possible to buy hundreds of dollars worth of stuff for $20 or less.
Despite this, there are a bunch of EXTREMELY CHEAP people who habitually come shopping but refuse to take anything that costs more than a certain amount--some of them will go as high as $10 for one item, depending on what it is, but most won't go more than $3 an item. Plus, they always have a veritable MOUNTAIN of stuff that, when piled on my counter, goes over my head. Having to repeat, "The price is X, would you like to keep it?" for every item I scan makes the whole business take three times as long and leaves me with a huge mess of clothes I have to hang back up. All of them are rude and will argue about a disparity of a few pennies.
I get that money is tight because the economy is shit--trust me, I KNOW. I live in it. But they're never saving more than a few dollars at a time. It's all just FUCKING ANNOYING to the point where, when one of these customers walks in, I will develop a sudden debilitating illness so I have an excuse not to deal with them.
I just found out that JesuOtaku insinuated that homosexuals are all promiscuous, that homosexuality is a lifestyle and a culture that promotes promiscuity, that she was soooo scared to voice her (idiotic) opinion because even though she's demonstrated that she holds negative views of queers, her concerns are legitimate and queers just don't want to hear it, and that none of her "gay friends" have accused her of being a bigot.

Meh she's from Nashville and is young and an anime reviewer. I tend to ignore her and her opiions.

The 'anime reviewer' part makes me wonder if she gets all of her info on all things queer via anime. Yaoi men aren't known for keeping it in their pants and Haruhi's dad from "Ouran High School Host Club" isn't your typical bisexual crossdresser, is all I'm saying.

We get these radio on tv channels with themes like "Party Music" "Pop Hits" "The 80s" etc. For some reason I keep getting brain farts and tuning into the 90's channel. That's the music that defines a large portion of my childhood and early teenage years, after all. Except I've forgotten that for every "She's So High" or Pearl Jam's version of "Last Kiss" there seems to be five "MmmBop" or "Macarenas". The 90's were highlighted by boy bands and one hit wonders, after all.
And yet I keep tuning in every time hoping to catch a K-Ci and Jojo.
The following songs:
"Downtown" by Petula Clark
"Survivor" by Destiny's Child
Forget "Friday", THOSE are the two most annoying Ear Worms I've ever heard

It's MY house. If you don't like it, you can move out.
We don't have to feed you.
*hugs B-man* If it makes you feel any better, not three minutes ago I heard my mother yell "(my name)! You! Loser!" from another part of the house. I don't know what I've done or haven't done this time but I dread finding out.
Actually, my kids are visiting my grandmother right now. Feels like a good time to slink under a blanket and pretend to be in a coma.
I hate this house.
Well, it's not really the house. Just my mom. She's states away and she can still make me cry.
I can assure you that isn't it.

I have two insect bites, which I think I got from a spider, on my boob. One of them is pussing slightly and a very thin layer of skin peeled off. I'm confused and dismayed.Just keep an eye on them. If they get much worse (particularly the one with pus) you may have to go to a doctor.

So. I've got a cold sore on my right upper lip. That's not a big deal; I just avoid lipstick for a week, take half a bottle of L-Lysine, and it goes away with very little fuss.
The problem is that at the same time, my skin said, "Hey, you know what would be funny? Putting one IN HER NOSE!!" So I have a cold sore just inside my left nostril. Which means I constantly have that feeling of Something In My Nose and there is nothing I can do about it.
Also, it looks weird and gross and I feel like my class is staring at it. :(
I hate that. I also hate when cars try to get you to cross when they haven't actually stopped, they've just slowed down.
I missed two questions on my economics quiz that I shouldn't have because I accidentally pressed the wrong goddamn thing and couldn't go back to change my answer.
Also: I hate the crazy lady who works in the fitting room because she never ever shuts the fuck up. She's a hundred and five years old, has worked at the same store since the glaciers receded, and hoards hangers in the back like a fucking squirrel with acorns. She talks and talks while you're trying to work and nobody has the heart to tell her to shut up. Even though it's really disruptive. Neither does anyone have the heart to tell her to stop coming up to the counters while people are working and digging straight under their thighs for more hangers to hoard. If she wasn't ancient and a woman, thsi would probably be sexual harassment.Hoarding hangers won't fly at the store I work at, as a Recovery/fitting room/backup cashier, I know. Also I hate it when customers talk & talk, never shut up.

When people point out that despite having a college degree, that I'm stuck working in retail... and that my degree was a waste of time & money. Thanks for making me feel like shit, jackass.Tell me about it. I don't work retail but I get the same thing. In fact, a coworker told me that she used me as an example of wasting money getting a degree in a talk with her daughter. Gee, thanks.
Fucking useless staffing companies who refuse to actually help people find work. Has anyone actually had a GOOD experience with them? Because they've never helped me and I think I've applied at every one in town. What the hell is the point of applying if you're going to flat-out refuse to find my application or answer a question about a job I saw posted?! Fuck off and die you worthless pieces of shit. >:(
I was doing a mental health screening at http://www.mentalhealthscreening.org/ and apparently one of my answers was cause for a pop-up saying I should call a suicide hotline.
It's kinda annoying, I suppose, to be reminded once again you're fucked in the head. Even if it's an online screening and not something that you should take 100% serious.
My tired-yet-unable-to-sleep brain read that as "Did you get eaten by a cock?"
I've got people telling me I shouldn't have gone into gaming journalism and that if I can do that I can go to school. Sorry, sweetcheeks but writing doesn't really require me to take 4 classes a semester and sitting in a horrible seat for 8 hours or more.

Eh, shouldn't we keep this stuff in F&B?Oh, I was meaning this in general, as while it's happening in the sugar thread and the spin-off in F&B I've seen such behaviour elsewhere too.
(Unless you're referring to something other than the Sugargate drama, in which case, my apologies.)
Fuck! I forgot to return my apartment rental renewal. Now my lease goes to a month to month and increases by $50/month. FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!

It's happened to me before. And surprisingly it wasn't that painful.
While I like to turn my music up as much as the next guy while driving, I fucking hate those guys who crank it up to like ear splitting decibels, and fucking have the loud as fuck subwoofers to fucking vibrate the entire fucking neighborhood. I would ask if they had a threshold of pain for noise, but they probably blew out their goddamn hearing years ago.
I've seen people before with their bass music turned up so loudly and intensely that their car windows were visibly bulging out slightly and their license plates were rattling. That just doesn't seem healthy to me. I foresee a huge spike in hearing loss in the next twenty or so years.

My brother thinks Axe is a good cologne. It smells worse than it normally does, which is something.
I prefer to call them Pick-Up Rapists.
Yes, it's certainly dick behavior that does it.And stupid cunt behaviour that encourages it.

Oh gad, this Windows 7 upgrade is even less intuitive than Vista. MSN should be down in the clock area, not in my task bar, what the fuck. At least I got that stupid "stacked taskbar" shit turned off...
Why do things need to change appearance when they change function? It's incredibly terrible. Shit like this is why I don't upgrade things.

I like it, personally. All your open windows are easily organized. If a window isn't open, then the logo can be completely removed from the taskbar.
Also, I think there's a way to add a shortcut to MSN in your bottom-right widget dealy. I just haven't bothered to figure it out.

I was supposed to have a second interview with the district manager of a store today. I had myself all worked up for it and was going to call her, but fifteen minutes before the scheduled time, I got a call from the store manager asking to reschedule. Now I have to work myself up to it all over again.You'll do fine. Sucks that it got rescheduled though.
How everyone seems to be leaving the forum, and I really can't see why. I don't see how "bad" this forum is. I think there is overacting in play, personally.
Background: I wear makeup fairly regularly now, when I feel like looking nice, but I didn't start wearing it until I was twenty and didn't really go full-on painted lady until two or three years ago.
So I'm quite mercifully unburdened by the stereotypical female anxiety about being seen without makeup on. Lately I've found myself feeling a little self-conscious without it, but it was one of those very rare circumstances under which I could rationally waylay my fear by attributing my worries to my shit self-esteem and assured myself that I was only judging myself way harsher than reality allowed for. And that was that, until this evening.
I work in a store two towns away from where I live, and there's another of the same store about five minutes from my apartment, so I only ever go to work when I actually have a shift. Since I don't want to give anyone the impression I don't give a fuck about what I look like, I wear makeup when I'm working and no one there has actually seen me without it. Again, I thought NOTHING of this and wasn't the least embarrassed about going in unpainted today to pick up my hours. On my way out, one of the teenagers who works there spotted me and came out with this gem:
"Oh my gosh! You look TERRIBLE! Oh, no, I don't mean it in a bad way, I just mean... you look really sick is all, are you okay?"
I told her I was totally fine and that this is just how I look without makeup. She apologized profusely right away and was really embarrassed at having said it. She's one of those girls who's just really really nice to everybody and doesn't have anything critical to say about ANYONE, so the fact that I looked so haggard that it startled an honest remark like that from her says a lot more than the words alone say.
One of those situations where I just have to laugh or I'm gonna slit my throat.
A girl sitting next to me at school today was complaining about how she spent $70 at a bar the other night. You see, dipshit, it's pretty easy to avoid doing something that monumentally stupid. You can either learn to control yourself and only order a drink or two, or (since that's probably too hard) you can stay away from bars entirely. If those are both too difficult, then by Jebus, you've got a problem.That's partially why I don't drink any more. Once the booze starts working its magic, all sense of financial responsibility goes flying out the window, as does all other forms of control that could possibly inhibit one's quest to get even drunker. Waking up in the morning to find you're out $60-110 is not exactly an ideal addition to a hangover.
Whenever I see people wearing makeup I just want to hand them a tissue and say tell them they have a little something on their face. I never really understood it, I just find it distracting.

Yeah, it can be worth it even if you don't care for practice. It's just that some days practice can be really brutal and you're just not feeling up to it that day, but you're obligated to go. Practice can also be really time consuming, especially at college level, and it's hard to get everything you need to done.
In the same way that you don't need to be an animal to support animal rights, you don't have to be gay to support gay rights.
Fail: ponies are part of the animal kingdom. Of course, a robot or a sentient plant could support animal rights.
That tomorrow night is the first night of the Wesminster Kennel Club dog show, and I have to work, so I'm going to miss my 3 favorite groups....The Toy, the Non-Sporting, and the Herding groups
I enjoy watching dog shows, but the only time I catch them is on Thanksgiving. I was disappointed last year because there were several breeds I liked in the finals, and then the ONE I didn't like as much was crowned champion.
Call me crazy, but I think a lot of women look better with no makeup. It just seems... Natural. Which... it is. So I'm annoyed by women who go all crazy about how ugly they look when they haven't had the chance to 'put their face on'; when they look just fine. Good grief.I had too much make-up on people, especially ladies' obsession with raccoon eyes. One go over with eyeliner should do it girls! This isn't stage theatre!
Something I've never understood: a lot of people on sports teams (in high school and college) continually complain about having to attend practice every day, and often celebrate when it's rained out or canceled. If you hate it that much, then why are you participating in that sport? I guess the games or competitions (like for track) could be fulfilling due to success and teamwork, but if you hate the practice sessions that much, is it really worth it?This gets to me as well. That's WHY I quit athletics. I found theatre rehearsals far more rewarding. And my drama teacher could bark as well as any football coach, so I ain't missing nothing.

When you're innocently driving along the highway on your way to work, minding your own business, and you change lanes because yours is coming to an end... only to find you've inadvertently put yourself smack in the middle of a stranger's funeral procession. Awkward...LOL I've done this. It is indeed very awkward to say the least. I pondered whether or not to turn on my headlights so as to not break up the processional flow...
Being told that I'm 'too young' to know that I'll never want to give birth to my own sprogs. I'm old enough to get serious about someone and get knocked up, it seems...but I said that if a future SO demands to have zir own kids with me, it'd be a deal-breaker for me. This is wrong, it seems.
So yeah. Old enough to get knocked up and ruin my entire life as well as the life of the kid, but not old enough to know that I don't want to pass on my fucked up genes and painful disorders/syndromes.
I just LOVE being 21!

I wish I could tell you it gets better but I'm 24 and no doctor will even let me talk past 'I want to discuss more permanent birth control options...'
Apparently women are only allowed to make long-term reproductive decisions when those decisions are 'HAVE THE CHILD CONCEIVED ON A DRUNKEN NIGHT IN ATLANTIC CITY WITH A GUY WHOSE NAME I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER'. Sixteen-year-old girls are totally old enough to decide to keep/raise a child but 25-year-old independent women aren't old enough to decide NOT to.
Fuck the medical community with a brick.
My mom has a nasty habit of asking me to come with her to "the store"... then mentioning after I've signed on and got ready that "the store" actually equals about five places. This sucks because I have no idea how long to tell people I'll be gone. >:(
EDIT: Okay, got a better one. Yesterday, I decided to, for shits and giggles, see how much it'd cost for me to assemble a new computer system. Not a top-of-the-line one, but one a few steps up from what I currently have, a Frankensteinian assembly of older parts that are more difficult to find replacements for. Top to bottom, the entire thing comes out to about $1100. When I told Mom about what I did, she immediately jumped to about three conclusions:
1. I've gone beyond looking prices up and made plans.
2. Any money I receive will go directly to this computer.
3. I will neglect my credit card and insurance to do it.
For fucks sake! I'm not a fucking idiot! We're talking a year down the line, so I don't have a repeat of the time my computer died on me without any plan for a replacement! For that matter, I love the assumption that I'm going to be completely irresponsible with my money, like I'm a fucking teenager. Best of all, when I called her on that fact, she said that I wasn't responsible because two months ago, my grandmother gave me $450, and I thought it would allow mom to not have to worry about me financially for four months, and it only lasted two. Well, you're right mom. I fucked up. I somehow thought you would continue to pay for my sisters to put gas on my car (they use it 99% of the time instead of me), and that you wouldn't borrow $70 of it, and not pay it back! This is some bullshit out of my mother. Fucking bullshit.

ADDENDUM:
My friend and roommate agrees with my mother! He said that I have a track record of fiscal irresponsibility! I haven't had any money to be irresponsible with in over a year. Where he's pulling this track record from is uncertain, but it smells of his ass.
Look, I've had problems with money back when I was a teenager, but to say that I would blatantly ignore my responsibilities in favor of a shiny new toy, at my age, is fucking retarded. The fact that they could be so judgmental so fast over so little is...
BULLSHIT.

You know something that just bugs the hell out of me? I have this certain person on my friends list on Facebook, and all they do is share a ton of Christian crap from their like pages. That's it. Every time I check my feed, it's about six to ten posts from this person, all shared crap about how much they love god and how much god loves her. And I don't want to block or delete this person, and I can't seem how to figure out if I can stop just the post, if there even is a way. It's annoying as all hell.You can go in and "unsubscribe" from their "feed". It's complicated, but I did that with one of my Conservative Christian friends.
I'll have to look into that. Unfortunately, if I were to unfriend everyone on my list that annoyed me in some way, I'd end up deleting most of my list. Of course, about a third of my list is family that I don't even associate with anymore, so they pretty much need to go. Most of the rest is either people I went to school with of whom most I don't talk to, or ex-coworkers, and I don't talk to most of them either. And about 90%, or more, are conservative Christians. Most don't bother me about being a Buddhist, but I think some try to send subtle hints every now and again that they're unhappy with my decision. But, as I've gotten older, I've taken a "if you don't like me, then fuck off" attitude toward people, and this is especially true of family, or so-called.People don't know if you unsubscribe. It's specifically so you can be non-confrontational.
Something else that annoys me? Getting hit on...especially when my mind gets in the way. So I'm in the convenience store earlier this evening, and the really cute cashier girl is flirting with me. Now, I'm a dunce when it comes to noticing when girls are hitting on me, and my friends normally have to tell me. But this girl was being quite conspicuous about it. So, what does my brain do? Tries to figure out why. I have some low self-esteem, but I'm not depressed about it. I accept the fact that I'm not a very great person. So, this girl is hitting on me, and my brain goes "scanning for sarcasm." That's the first thing. But I couldn't find any sarcasm. So then my brain goes "scanning for mocking attitude." Again, none found. My brain tries to figure out why any girl, and especially a cute one like this, would possibly hit on me. By the time my brain was done, and couldn't find any disgenuousness (is that even a word?), I was halfway out the door. And now I'm kicking myself over it.

Maybe she was just bored? I don't see working as a cashier being a particularly mentally stimulating job, so maybe her flirting was more to break the monotony than any interest in you in particular.
Oral surgery. I spent about 2 hours afterwards choking on my own blood and saliva because my mouth was too numb to swallow anything.
A trend I've noticed in the way young girls speak. It might be knit picky on my part, but I am tired of hearing the word "amazing" pronounced "amayzeen". It's not like I hear it often, but when I do, it irritates the hell out of me.If by "trend" you mean "popular girls" since, oh, the 70s. ~sigh~

Yeah, the charger that -came- with my laptop shorted out a day or two after I got it. Thankfully, the store replaced it with the one I'm currently using.
As for an annoyance of mine? I've got a random, stabbing pain in my stomach. It gets...near-crippling at some points. Dad says its either a really obstinate gas bubble, or a stomach virus.
Speaking of clothes, when buying off the rack I have to get a bigger size than 'normal' for my height because I have wide shoulders and am a little muscular.
However, I'm not exactly large when it comes to verticality (5'6" if I'm lucky) thus my appendages aren't that long either. To put it simply, most off the rack clothes are either too small for me across the top, but have fine sleeve length, or just right across the top and the sleeves are too long. Thank heaven for my mother and her sewing/altering ability...

I hate how many clothing manufacturers assume that short/small waist = no hips. I'm 5'2" with a fairly small waist, and while my hips aren't huge, there are times when jeans in the petite range are too big around my waist while fitting my hips or vice versa.

Thank heaven for my mother and her sewing/altering ability...
I hate how many clothing manufacturers assume that short/small waist = no hips. I'm 5'2" with a fairly small waist, and while my hips aren't huge, there are times when jeans in the petite range are too big around my waist while fitting my hips or vice versa.

What happened with Deadpan? I miss her. :(
Ah. Thanks for the info.
It sucks to see so many awesome people being driven away. :(
I was laid up in bed all yesterday with a bloody stomach virus. Never went to pray to the porcelain god, but it made even simple movements an exercise in nausea control and cramp avoidance.
Nothing, NOTHING hurts like motherfucking stomach cramps.
Just had the first Shamrock Shake of my life...

My dad is being a fucking asshole talking about Ron Paul right now
He honestly thinks Paul has better chances than Romney
2. The last two days I've had trouble getting to sleep; three nights ago I couldn't fall asleep until 5AM... two nights ago, 6AM... Last night I finally got to sleep at a more decent time (2AM) and fell asleep relatively soon after, only to be woke at 8 by mom, who was unable to find her keys and presumed I still had them from picking her up at the airport last night. Fair enough. I checked my pants and no dice; she checked my coat for me which was nice... she had me get up to help her look. I got up, stiff and bleary from almost getting a decent night's sleep, and instantly spotted the keys on the kitchen counter in plain sight from two rooms away.I feel you on this one. The nights when I've been able to sleep really well have been few and far between recently. I think I'm becoming a lighter sleeper than I used to be too, since the sound of the train going by now wakes me up in the morning more often.
Actually, I'm proud of myself for seeing them, but still... I almost had all the sleep I needed. >_>
I got given a fake 50 kuai bill today, and I realised too late to do anything about it.[Stereotypical American]How much is that in real money?[ /American]

It does but I don't have the energy to rant about it in Angry Multiverse.
I've felt like that before lots of times. Some people are just using assholes that only get into a relationship if it benefits them, then they drop the person when they get tired of them.
It'll get better. There's lots of people out there who would be your friend. I'd be your meatspace friend if we lived in the same part of GA.
Shane, if you're talking about me... I swear to... uh... my computer (the holiest thing I have) I wasn't intentionally antagonizing you, nor did I turn on you. I only wanted the fighting to stop, cause I have such a bad fucking headache. I only wanted everyone to compromise so we could stop arguing over something so silly. If you're really going to treat this like a personal betrayal and me turning on you... that's not what I'm doing. The things you're saying to the contrary hurt me. I'd much rather be friends.
You told me in PM that, thanks to me, you wouldn't be here tomorrow. Frankly, I think you could use a day off, particularly after the shit your ex emailed you. Go get some rest, find something enjoyable to watch/read/play. These last days haven't been kind to you and I feel awful for you. And when you do come back... do so with something to smile about. You've more than earned it.

Music snobs in general are annoying, particularly those who look down upon you for daring to like a mainstream band.
I can listen to just about any kind of music if it's playing at a restaurant, or I'm watching a live performance, but that doesn't mean that I want my personal playlist to go from death metal to reggae when I hit shuffle.

Something that really annoys me: job hunting. Every day I don't search for a job, I feel like a loser who is complacent with her current dead-end, part-time, job. Then when I apply, I see all the requirements and qualifications and feel like I'm about to have a panic attack because they want X amount of experience and work which I don't possess (I've only had one once and it wasn't bad, I kind of enjoyed it, but as it relates to job hunting is worse). Finally, all the careers I look at want a cover letter and that just makes me feel like an idiot because I can write 30 page discourses about how Rousseau's civic republicanism relates to Marxist thought, but I can't write a freaking 3 paragraph statement about why I would be a good candidate for the job. Then to add insult to injury, I've been searching for 3 months, so a lot of rejection has to have occured :(. Seriously, I can learn everything in school EXCEPT how to write a cover letter, resume, and do well in a job interview.
Sorry, I know I've been bitching about jobs for a while and I just spent the last two hours applying at various places so I needed to vent. I feel a little better now :-\

If you need some good examples of what a cover letter should look like here are some great examples (http://www.resume-resource.com/cover-template.html) of cover letters. You should make a list of you're accomplishments. I hope this helps a bit.

So called "progressives" who are pimping for Ron Paul, and how they cherry pick Ron Paul's stances, but completely ignore liberal alternatives to the Democratic Party, like the Green Party.

I just thought Fraulein Faustus was a close teutonic approximation to mlle antichrist, but the Gretchen thing has me intrigued.
Well I suppose Gretchen kind of ends up as Mrs Faust. Which would I guess make you Frau Faust rather than Fraulein
But you should totally become Fraulein Faustus, a devil's bargain for the post-feminist age. Mephistopheles wants the women's souls too.
Oh and you can use rohypnol and duct tape instead of magic powers to seduce your Gretchen (or if you want to play it straight, Greg)

I don't really know...I've slept with a shirt on, something I don't usually do during the warmer months, and no new bites on me. Course, if they're as pernicious fucks as I've read they are...they'd probably have gone to my arms, feet, or head...or just up under my shirt, bitches ain't that big. Maybe me getting unknowingly bitten by bugs during runs...mosquitoes have left pretty big marks on me before. Also, the itching on my neck could be because the razor in my bathroom's a bit...worn.

One thing I'll never understand is Japan's national fetish for school girls, simply because they're the most annoying little cunts I've ever had the misfortune to share a planet with. Nothing makes riding the bus during peak hour even less fun that two of those high-pitched little shits in the seat behind me talking and giggling at a volume that I can clearly hear over my earphones. I swear, there needs to be some sort of law against being loud on public transport.
The fact that I did not discover that Canadian Mountain Dew is now caffeinated until after drinking a 590ml bottle 45 minutes ago. So much for going to bed early.
I get off work at around the same time most of the high schools get out, so, yeah... I feel your pain. God, do I ever feel your pain.
Up until recently, Health Canada barred the use of caffeine in non-cola soda products. Apparently the laws have changed now, though.
Mountain Dew isn't associated with caffeine up here. In fact, Canadians are (or were, prior to the change) just as likely to be shocked that American Mountain Dew is so full of the stuff -- we're not used to seeing caffeine in pops other than Coke, Pepsi, and similar drinks.
I doubt the japanese men are into the school girls for their personalities, guys. ::)Unless they're completely silent for the entire duration, I can only see their screeching ruining an otherwise good porking.

Eh, I'm not that big on them either, but I have nothing against anyone who is.Generally, I'm the same. However, since I'm constantly hearing about the little buggers no matter where on the internet I go, these days my pony tolerance is a little low.
I know I've bitched a lot today, but goddamn...it is really fucking hot in my bedroom right now, and there's no AC. It's impossible for me to sleep when it's this warm, and my eyes are already wonderfully bloodshot.
So, I went to the doc yesterday for my yearly pap test, and while I was at the desk the lady asked, "This is a pap test today, right dear?" Thanks for announcing that aloud. Now the five people in line behind me know I'm getting my cervix scraped (as well as the three people beside me doing their paperwork).
Not a huge deal, really, but still. Sitting in the waiting room for 15 minutes with people who knew why I was there was a tad awkward.
Fans... open window...?
I don't have AC in the house. Probably never will. I'm kind of afraid I'll get spoiled on it. It's not a good thing if you're unaccustomed to the heat/humidity and you lose power down in GA here in the middle of Summer.

It was more a blanket statement of my not getting accustomed to having AC all the time. It's what I do when it gets hot. Without power, I wouldn't be as uncomfortable as I would if I was used to having the cold air on all the time. I shoulda been more clear. My bad.

Ahhh. I know it was hell when I was in 'Bama with my power cutting out in the dead of summer. Guhhh. But I can't take being too hot. I overheat too easily.
Ahh all this talk of air conditioning. I don't think I've ever been in a house with air conditioning.

My grandpa took me to dinner tonight because I wasn't working and his wife is staying with a friend in the city.

In her defense we don't look a damn thing alike (he looks like an older Billy Joel, largely because he is Billy Joel's cousin) and at a glance I kinda look like the sort of bubbly young thing that might seek out a much older meal ticket.
But I was highly disturbed by this.
While I'm guilty of this, I had the opportunity to really realize how annoying talking while watching TV is.This this oh dear lord this. This is why I hate watching TV with anyone, because it seems to be a basic human need to not shut the fuck up whenever a fellow member of the species is in the same room, regardless of how much silence would enhance the experience of the current activity.

I'm in the middle of the crowd, I cant move any faster and someone behind me goes "oh my god move faster" and pokes meNEVER tell me to move faster or ride my ass on the road. That's a sure way to make sure that I suddenly have all the time in the world.
Dude, I can't move any faster, but if you poke me again, I sure as hell can move slower. Dont tempt me.

Earth Hour. Nothing more than feel-good bullshit that not only implies that reducing CO2 emissions will only require a mild inconvenience on everyone's part during a time when they've generally got nothing better to do, but if anything it actually increases the amount of CO2 produced in practice.But... but... what if we actually have to suffer to repair the monumental damage we won't even admit we did? What kind of heartless person would want us to learn from our mistakes?
If you ask me, it actually hinders environmentalism rather than helps it.

Yeah, I can imagine that it's not all that fun for either of you. But holy hell, does it ever hurt when a guy accidentally hits your cervix during sex. Had it happen a few times with a number of exes. Oh the pain.
My gyno does that. I would pay a four-figure sum for it NOT to happen. It really is unrelievedly painful for how slight the trauma. That's part of why I never understood why big dicks are considered so awesome--it isn't fun for anybody involved. The vagina does not extend into the chest cavity and at that point it's more of an invasive medical procedure than a sexual encounter. Except in one case it's acceptable to make out with the person doing it. Well, I'm sure you could do it in the other as well, but I'm not sure trained medical professionals are okay with that.
Fizzy drinks are called a 'soda'. If you're referring to unsweetened, unflavoured carbonated drinks then it's a 'seltzer'. Thankfully living in New York I don't hear the alternatives very much, but it drives me into violent unspeakable rage when people call any kind of soda at all a 'coke'. Or worse, 'pop'. They do the former in the American south (sometimes I heard it when I was still living in MD), and the latter in the American Midwest. Unfortunately I have relatives living in the Midwest so not only do they infuriatingly insist on calling it 'pop', they say it with a Midwestern accent--an accent so horrible and repulsive it can spread bubonic plague just by hearing it. Pronounced in the Midwestern tongue, the word 'pop' becomes 'paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap' and I hate it so much I would punch a kitten.
The death penalty seems like too light a punishment for people who commit these crimes.

It made absolutely ZERO sense because she never knows what the fuck she's doing, and her attempt at a correction via email is just laughable. Excuse me while I use my head make a large hole in the nearest wall.
As I was walking to class today, I passed at least 5 or 6 older men who were very nicely dressed and handing out bibles. The first man immediately handed me one, so of course I had to deny the others that I passed, which made me feel guilty as hell because they were all so polite. I'm trying to figure out why they were on campus, though. Is that permitted on campus? Did they just pick my school and stay there until they were thrown out?

Ohohoho, just 3 days into my new job at Walmart, and I can safely call massive, MASSIVE bullshit on that one.
Everyone receives training (be it in-person, or CBL [Computer-Based Learning]) in dealing with such lovely things as battery acid, containers of fucking mystery "materials" that will occasionally just show the fuck up, human blood, flesh (dead and alive), and organs. Yes, they mentioned the cleanup of motherfucking human organs in the CBL courses.
Oh, and there are at least two devices in the backroom that can (if you're an idiot, but I digress) either crush you into a nicely-formed cube, or grind you into motherfucking mulch. Not to mention that there's the constant threat of something on a tall shelf (like the 12-15' high shelves in the backroom) becoming unstable, falling, and fucking crushing you.
We have emergency codes for, and are trained how to handle, such things as bomb threats, shootings, and hostage situations.
Retail ain't a real job? Motherfucker, do you have to deal with any of that shit in your cozy, little office? No? THEN, SHUT THE FUCK UP. I gotta face death and dismemberment, and I'm just a dry grocery sales associate. I'm a harder motherfucker than you could ever dream of being.
Finding a massive fucking turd in the centre of the aid station.
Perhaps I should backtrack a little, you might want some context for this one. I work on a paintball field. It's pretty much in the boonies and there's no security on site, so we leave nothing there and operate out of a shipping container. Out on the bush field, there's a building I where I'm located while games are running; the aid station. It's got no doors and can't be secured, so we're often cleaning out broken bottles, there's graffiti all over the walls, and it's generally fucking swarming with mosquitoes. Not usually mounds of shit.
My first clue is the sound of buzzing flies before I'm even inside, and then the smell hits me. My gorge is already rising before I'm in the building. I step inside and sure enough, right in the centre of the floor, is a smooth, flat mound of shit that's probably about the size of my hand. Setting the box I'm carrying on the bench, I consider the surprise addition to my morning. I doubt it was left by an animal; it's too big, and we've never had any problem with animals over the several years we've been running.
So I grab myself some surgical gloves from the first aid kit, a roll of toilet paper we use for cleaning goggles, and set to work cleaning up what I can only assume to be the leavings of the latest drunken arsehole to wander through my little corner of the world. For your edification, I'll let you know that it wasn't hardened and dry, as I'd first thought. Nope, that son of a bitch was still nice and gooey on the inside, with a bonus helping of little maggots desperate to make friends with my fingers.
To cut an increasingly long story short; the offending matter is safely transferred to a plastic bag, my hands are washed many, many times with hand sanitizer, and my faith in my fellow man shrivels that little bit more. I am another day closer to being a burnt out, hateful husk of a man, sustained only by my contempt for the kind of degenerate who takes a shit in someone's place of business.
I hope you've had as much fun reading my soliloquy of shit as much I had living it. And to whomever despoiled my aid station, I wish upon you a bout of the most painful, drawn out dysentery ever inflicted upon a man.
That is something that annoys me.
I'd have doused it in gasoline and lit it on fire.

Perhaps I should backtrack a little, you might want some context for this one. I work on a paintball field. It's pretty much in the boonies and there's no security on site, so we leave nothing there and operate out of a shipping container. Out on the bush field, there's a building I where I'm located while games are running; the aid station. It's got no doors and can't be secured, so we're often cleaning out broken bottles, there's graffiti all over the walls, and it's generally fucking swarming with mosquitoes. Not usually mounds of shit.
My first clue is the sound of buzzing flies before I'm even inside, and then the smell hits me. My gorge is already rising before I'm in the building. I step inside and sure enough, right in the centre of the floor, is a smooth, flat mound of shit that's probably about the size of my hand. Setting the box I'm carrying on the bench, I consider the surprise addition to my morning. I doubt it was left by an animal; it's too big, and we've never had any problem with animals over the several years we've been running.
So I grab myself some surgical gloves from the first aid kit, a roll of toilet paper we use for cleaning goggles, and set to work cleaning up what I can only assume to be the leavings of the latest drunken arsehole to wander through my little corner of the world. For your edification, I'll let you know that it wasn't hardened and dry, as I'd first thought. Nope, that son of a bitch was still nice and gooey on the inside, with a bonus helping of little maggots desperate to make friends with my fingers.
To cut an increasingly long story short; the offending matter is safely transferred to a plastic bag, my hands are washed many, many times with hand sanitizer, and my faith in my fellow man shrivels that little bit more. I am another day closer to being a burnt out, hateful husk of a man, sustained only by my contempt for the kind of degenerate who takes a shit in someone's place of business.
I hope you've had as much fun reading my soliloquy of shit as much I had living it. And to whomever despoiled my aid station, I wish upon you a bout of the most painful, drawn out dysentery ever inflicted upon a man.
That is something that annoys me.

I have a mouth ulcer (canker sore) on the inside of my lower lip. I've been treating it with baking soda, but it's pretty big and very swollen and painful.

There was a mosquito the size of my palm on my towel this morning. T_T
Or crane flies! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crane_flies).
Very annoying, but not mosquitoes, thankfully. They've been flying around here in droves lately.
Couple of girls next to me are talking about a gay bar in melbourne that doesnt let that many women in. They hate the club, they dont like it, they want it shut down. But they want to start a petition to lower the ratio of gay men to women.It's a freaking gay bar, what the hell are they expecting?

I'm not questioning why they would want to go, I'm saying that women aren't exactly the target demographic of the average gay bar and as such it's perfectly understandable if they don't want to let them in.I'm actually friends with a couple of women who frequent gay bars only to dance and hang with men with no strings attached.

I feel like a bloody ass now. I had to work today, noon to 5pm. On one hand, I really didn't want to because my legs are STILL killing me from yesterday (8 hours on my feet lifting heavy shit), but I still wanted to go...I need the money, and I hate making a bad impression on people. I'm diligent, I want to work...I swear, I'm not just "playing hooky" or anything like that...
I could've had mom drive me to work, but that'd have put me there around 7am, some 5 hours before my shift starts, and Wally World really, really hates overtime. However, I thought I'd have transport from my grandmother today, so I could get some extra rest, and get to work on time and not have to wait around looking like a jackass. Well, I called her, annnnnd...she had a vet appointment -right- at the time I needed to be at work. She's been waiting for this all week, and I couldn't bring myself to have her delay or reschedule it just because of me...
My uncle Reggie is gone on a hunting trip, dunno when he'll be back...my uncle Jay's already been at work for some time, and can't take much of a break, assuming he's not in some city many hours away doing a service call. Even the neighbor I used a few days ago wasn't home, and wouldn't be in time to get me to work on time.
So...I called in absent, explained my situation to one of my numerous superiors, and I'm here feeling like an idiot. Ugh.
I have a mouth ulcer (canker sore) on the inside of my lower lip. I've been treating it with baking soda, but it's pretty big and very swollen and painful.

I find it annoying and slightly confusing when somebody on Facebook posts something like "Doing laundry" and it gets a bunch of likes and a huge comment thread. I put a little more (very little) thought into what I post on mine, and I feel like I'm talking to myself.I'd say it means that nobody's trying to get into your pants.
Can I mention how much I HATE the "Stuff x people say to y people" videos?
The original was a way to point out subconscious prejudices and privilege, but it's become nothing more than a vehicle for passive-aggressive whining about any group you happen to dislike.
I just went to do a batch of laundry and when I opened the washer door a bunch of dirty water came flooding out :\
We're gonna have to get a plumber over to check it out, and we really can't afford it right now ._.
Cesspool? 10,000$
Where do you live? I live in Bumfuck GA, USA and the county health dept. code requires a septic tank. Cesspools are NOT allowed.
I ask, because I don't recall our septic take upon having the house I live in now built costing anywhere around $10,000.

Whelp...got fired. Apparently, I wasn't working fast enough, and I "wasn't going to work out." Funny that...considering I worked so hard, I had sharp, stabbing pains in my chest that made me terrified I was having a heart attack.
Oh, and they didn't give me any paperwork, either. Sooooo...I feel like raisin some hell.
Funny that...considering I worked so hard, I had sharp, stabbing pains in my chest that made me terrified I was having a heart attack.That's probably why they fired you, lest you be entitled to worker's compensation in the near future.
People who expect everyone else to constantly do them favours, and then whine, piss and moan when someone asks for one tiny little favour in return.

My advice...get on unemployment as fast as possible. Wal-Mart loves to pull this shit, giving bullshit reasons to fire people that are in violation of their own policies. Raise hell dude. No paperwork means you've got a chance.

That sounds JUST like Drew. He's got NO fucking problems asking to borrow games and shit, and he's also got NO problems claiming said games in the name of GAWD (whose protection disappears the moment my brother and I appear on his doorstep, demanding our shit back...funny, that.), but...well, I'll give you an example.
A few days ago, I got sick at work...I don't know if it was bad canned pasta or severe stress, but I was vomiting very badly and one of my managers told me, in no uncertain terms, to go home. Well, I talked to Brit, and she said Drew was in-transit and could just drive a wee longer to come get me. So, I texted him and asked, I told him that I was puking up my whole stomach contents...and the piece of shit had the fucking nerve to demand gas money from me. Motherfucker, the only reason I could text you was because I'd vomited so much, there wasn't anything LEFT in my stomach I could puke up. I DON'T NEED YOUR BULLSHIT.
Needless to say, I got a ride from Brit who used Granny's car, which ISN'T a barely-working piece of shit. Fuck that asshole. In the ass. With a cactus coated in salt.
Got my first review on my fanfiction. You tell me what part is annoying:I received the same line, but from the fan-fic author. He wrote only in endless pargraphs (minimum 12 sentences), hiding the dialogue inside. The story was solid, but since he was getting grief, I decided to be helpful and showed him how to break down these paragraphs into a format that more people would like to read (ie, how every single goddamn book on the planet has done it since the end of the romantic era of Victorian literature!).
"I just read through all of this and it's good, but it is dialogue heavy. I suggest that maybe you focus on one thing at a time. Fanfiction is not advanced litrature, and people just want to come and casually read about there favorite fandom."
>___>
I suppose that's what I get for saying "any and all reviews welcome."

Segueing perfectly back on topic, I'm annoyed at how my (now former) high school had a creative writing class that I couldn't take because I was taking applied-level classes and not academic-level classes. It was an academic level class, apparently. I was in the wrong tier. Ugh.

Instead of lowering the rates, though, it turned into an out-of-control slobber-knocker, wherein special interest groups stormed the ring, creating a double DQ and a commissioner's decision to turn everyone in the ring into increased taxes.

These are what annoy me. Typos I can handle. Spelling mistakes on not-so-common words I can handle. But not knowing the difference between, "An" and "And?" That's just laziness, even for just fan fiction.
Oh, I know. That's my mantra. I just don't want to feel like I've ended it too early. I'm over 40K words, which each chapter 1,000-3,000 words.

It's a general societal issue -- one which we all have to take responsibility for if we want things to change.I have seen and heard too many women help perpetuate stereotypes.

Also, there is a bear on my deck right now. I know he always comes around this time, but he makes a LOT of noise, and any loud thumps outside at night always make me think SERIAL KILLER.

Anyone else having a problem loading the Pirate Bay, or is it just me? I haven't been able to get on it for the past 10 minutes or so...Why do we have to thank anyone? Cthulu, Vecna, God, Darwin, Bob. Just say "Yay." YAY, I say!
[ETA]
I can get on isoHunt just fine, so it has to be a problem on PB's end...tha fuck's goin on here?

She's back! That didn't take long...thank Bob.
Ticks. I pulled one off yesterday and now I feel like they're all over me.Ticks are nasty little fuckers, my mom used to set them on fire for shits and giggles when she was younger.
People who suffer a meltdown over every minor mishap, such as a glass of juice being spilled on the kitchen counter. Especially when it's not their glass of juice, nor are they the one who has to clean it up. Because the very sight of spilled juice is a horror that can never be unseen, apparently.I used to do that a lot, but that was after years of being clumsy and getting tired of it.
My millionth fucking pair of earbuds shat themselves yesterday. I swear, those things can't go more than a month before one of the speakers decides to die on me, meaning I have to either put up with getting music in only one ear (which I can't stand, especially when they were stereo earbuds) or shell out for a new pair.
I be rather pissed off right now.

I'm out of whipped cream. Make of that what you will.
Maybe some post office asshole. You'd be surprised the state in which some mail arrives through the USPS. Or actually... as the case may be, maybe you wouldn't.
I had near-constant nightmares for...a good chunk of time a bit after I got sacked. They were either legitimately terrifying, at least for me, imagine being trapped in a pitch black room with a hundred screaming voices around you; or horribly depressing.
They've since ended, and I truly appreciate my near-constant sex dreams, now.
Why do Tumblr's .gifs suck so much?
Is there nobody on that site who can make a halfway decent gif?
Tumblr gifs are like the visual equivalent of a broken record that plays the same 2 second sample over and over without pause.
Why was he screaming at her?This I'd love to know. I don't think I've ever met an optometrist who wasn't mellow as a really really mellow thing.
Dad called a transwoman 'it' in conversation because I dared bring up something in a Carl Sagan book about transsexuals being spoken of in a lot more politically correct light than I had expected.I've been wondering about that, actually. How do you refer to a transperson if you're unsure of their preferred gender?
So now my mood is in the tank.

Thanks for clearing that up!I've been wondering about that, actually. How do you refer to a transperson if you're unsure of their preferred gender?
Use (singular) they. Many people in society don't know what zie and xir are, and its just easier to use they. Such as (in reference to an androgynous person) "They're just going out to lunch" or "They enjoy bowling."
Other than that, clothes are usually a pretty good tell. Not many transmen would be caught dead dressed in women's skinny jeans and a cami and I would only wear guy shirts if I like the design (such as band Tees). Make-up, hair style, shoes and other things which are usually divided amongst the genders are other good tells. However, if you're sure they're trans, asking is a good place to start. I wouldn't get offended if someone asked me about preferred pronouns nor would 90% of the trans people I know, but sadly I also know some very touch transpeople who would get overly preachy at you (through what I perceive would be no fault of your own). However, again make sure you know because you don't want to ask a masculine looking ciswoman if she's "transitioning" lest you enjoy being slapped.
But yeah, just use female pronouns for transwomen and male pronouns for transmen (the only exception I can think of is if they are presenting as their birth gender in front of a group, then resort to singular they so that you don't out them or cause them any dysphoria).
I thought Magni ( I believe) just made that up. I didn't realize it was a thing.I did an entire essay for a final project in a class on grammar and usage, and the whole thing was about the search for an gender-neutral pro-noun in American English. I mainly did an analysis and the reasons there is a need for one, and the attempts to create one that would be commonly used.

At the time I wrote the essay, I couldn't find an agreed upon pro-noun, and until recently, never encountered a group that used one regularily. I appreciate the consistency, and I truly hope the trans-community does stick with the one. It's hard enough to get people to agree to an idea without a proposed solution.
Thanks for clearing that up!
I just saw a headline that said "Kim Kardashian switches up her hair." T_T
Just found out my mom's gone anti-vaxxer. And I had to force myself not to chew out a family friend for saying 9/11 was an inside job, there were no planes that hit the towers, Pentagon, or VA field, and the Zeitgeist movies are true (except the Christianity is false part because he's a Jesus freak).

You can have any opinions that you want - if you believe cherry picking the rules you want is okay - then fine; hold that true for people who don't cherry pick the same things and stop being a hypocrite by saying those people aren't 'Real Christians'
Just trying to figure out the rules that you all play by and I can't get a straight answer... The OT rules are good, not good, made irrelevant by Christ's sacrifice, to be cherry picked at will... (etc) make up your mind (your own personal INFORMED opinion) and then tell me why the rules should be applied that way. That's all I'm asking and I can't even seem to get a straight answer for how someone formed their own OPINION of how the rules apply and why.

The Xbox 360's video player sucks and doesn't know how to play .mkv files.
Because that's the format that just about every video I download on the internet comes in?The Xbox 360's video player sucks and doesn't know how to play .mkv files....Why are you using Matroska video files?
In other news, torrenters who upload videos that are in some obscure format that requires something other than WMP to play. Yes, I have VLC, but its slow, and its buggy, I only use it if I have to.If VLC isn't working for you, it's not a problem with the program. Mine works perfectly fine. Try downloading MPC instead.
Is a simple AVI that much to ask for? MPEG? Why are there so fucking many movies out there that are either in RealVideo or Matroska format?AVI was created in the 90's and has a lot of limitations that other formats have since fixed, and I've heard that MP4 files are hard to compress down to a decent size without losing a significant amount of video quality.

My Chinese teacher. She is a horrible communicator, but always blames her mistakes on her students. Once she sprang a test on us even though she gave us absolutely no notification beforehand. The entire class called her out on this, and she just dismissed our objections and said that the entire class must have not been listening because we're bad students and we're secretly racists who hate her and want to make her miserable.If it was early enough, I'd drop the course right then and there. Fuck that shit.

Best cure I know of for the hiccups is to eat a spoonful of sugar and swallow it as fast as you can without letting it linger in your mouth. That always worked for me.

So... in addition to losing some of my grades, my school seems to have not used the grants that were the only reason I attended in the first place. I'm looking huge loans in the face, and I don't know where they came from.
Getting this sorted out tomorrow is going to be a huge pain in the ass.
Apparently, I took classes 1, 2, and 4, but 3 up and disappeared. I think I know why (I had to retake all the finals because of how bad I was at this class), but that doesn't make me any less pissed about it. As far as the grants go, I don't know what happened there. I know the loans I got (which we already know about) made their way to the school before any grants be design (thus guaranteeing that they would need to be paid back), so I haven't a damn clue where the grants went if I'm paying all this tuition that should already be covered.So... in addition to losing some of my grades, my school seems to have not used the grants that were the only reason I attended in the first place.

What the fuck? How can a school LOSE anyone's grades? That shit has to be kept on file for any further transcript requests. As for the grants, the way I've always seen it, the school uses the grant money and either sends you a check containing anything leftover after tuition, or tells you your remaining balance. Them just not USING the grant is awfully suspicious.

My curiosity and boredom got the better of me, so I decided to see what all the fuss is about regarding dubstep. Having listened to it, I can safely say that I can safely say that listening to Rebecca Black while shoving a moose up my ass is more pleasant than listening to dubstep.
Just... Why is that crap so popular?!
It's also possible that he listened to actual dubstep and didn't freakin' like it. Some people just don't enjoy the stuff.
Dubstep (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBv4kWsi4TE&feature=related)It amuses me that the only reason I say I don't like dubstep is because I don't know what it is. While I'll admit the "real dubstep" is slightly more bearable than the "brostep" you speak of, it's still the musical equivalent of being raped in the ear-hole with a dial-up modem.

People who go to bars and clubs in uniform. If you're going after work to a restaurant or event that's one thing but I see too many service members in bars in uniform or like Jeb saw at a Ska show.

It's another entirely to flaunt your service as though this respect is automatic; that kind of behavior/mentality should, if anything, cost you any respect or admiration you've earned.

The fact that Youtube is recommending me a video of a dog taking a shit. Why the fuck would anyone film and upload that in the first place?!<_< Yeah, I, uh, have no idea why anyone would want to watch that...
3. Apparently, rain is worse than snow when it comes to driving. It's like people lose all sense and turn into skittish zombies when they see a few drops of rain. This caused traffic on the interstate (where the speed limit is 65 mph) to randomly alternate between 30 mph and 80 mph.

I've noticed that around here, too. Traffic gets pretty backed up when it snows, but it seems that the worst driving comes out during a downpour. A few days back there was apparently a 7 car pile-up on one of the main roads not too far from where I live -- and the rain wasn't even that bad.
The stupid "Hey, I just met you and this is crazy..." bullshit that seems to have become a part of everything. It's not funny. It never was.It's from an incredibly mediocre pop song (not that there's any other kind. Except atrocious) that's only redeeming value is a somewhat catchy chorus.

I know. People seem to think it's so fucking rad -- those lyrics and the song itself. Even saying it ironically because it's a horrible song is not funny. It's irritating as fuck.
Pile on top of that the fact that I'm generally uncomfortable with any unwarranted physical contact unless its from my girlfriend, and I've got a nice little heap of problems that make even play-hitting upsetting.

Assholes who freak out over the possibility of my dog peeing on the tree in front of their house.

My mom was watching a show on ID similar to Dateline, and it detailed a lengthy investigation after a series of attempted murders. Well, the police searched a man's house and discovered a bunch of S&M equipment (whips, cuffs) and acted as if that completely proved his guilt. Because fetishes like that totally equal murderer. Jesus christ, I enjoy that stuff. God forbid anyone ever get a search warrant for my place.

When I started my job I decided to make it my mission to never give anyone my phone number, so no one could call me and ask me to work for them. I have failed my mission. I don't know how, but now they all have my phone number and I'm being roped into covering for someone on my day off.Just ask for something in return. Chances are that'll scare the freeloading little shits away.

My dad lost his Bluetooth headset and won't hold his cell phone up to his head because he's afraid of "dangerous radiation waves." So he keeps it on speakerphone all the time.If he ever buys a new one, explain to him that blue tooth uses radiating signals too!
The local McDonald's is disgusting and has flies everywhere.I belive they're based on a highly successful toy line for girls. So girls like them, I would guess, considering we sell a fuck ton of the weird things at the Target where I work. More than the Spider-Man and Pokémon toys we have in stock.
Just remembered another thing -- the boys' Happy Meal toys were kickass Pokemon, and the girls' toys were these ugly pink I-don't-even-know-what-the-fuck-this-is things. Because as long as it's pink, girls will like it.
Also, when I was driving down I-95 yesterday (speed limit is 65) some asshole flew past me in his pickup truck carrying a large dog in the bed. I was fucking terrified the dog would jump out. He was pacing back and forth, reaching his head out to inspect other cars as he went past them. How careless do you have to be to do such a thing? Even if your dog has never jumped before and you trust him completely, there's always that chance that he'll try once, or get spooked, and then what? You have your poor dog fly out onto the car of an innocent driver, scarring them for motherfucking life. Don't do that with your dog.
Finding out about ten of my posts (including a topic I'd spent a decent bit of time writing) got eaten by the server bugs last night. I'm not blaming the mods who've been working to fix the prior errors - these things happen sometimes, just gotta work through it - but it still sucks.

The ridiculously hot weather recently. At least it's cooled down today.
Some giant bug just started flying around my room. I need a flamethrower.
Some giant bug just started flying around my room. I need a flamethrower.
Giant bug is dead. In an ill-fated attempt at a capture and release, I accidentally crushed it with a glass. I normally feel a slight pang of guilt when I take the life of a bug, but I feel nothing this time. My heart is as cold as its crunchy remains.
I'd like to think that I can go to bed safely, but I feel all crawly and disgusting now. I'm going to feel phantom bugs on me for a good hour.

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.
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.

I understand ads on web sites are needed, but do they need to take up the ENTIRE #^##^^@@ PAGE? Mass Effect Wiki's ads only take up the top portion. Unfortunately, they make the page jump up and down so, instead of searching or scrolling as I'm reading something, I clicked 4 different links.
People who complain to companies about trivial things.
At work, the chick I aide for mentioned that her grandmother wrote in a complaint to one of the local news stations because she didn't like the weatherman's pants. She thought they were "unprofessional".

Short story: FUCK YOU, TURBINE.
Long story: As some of you are aware, I'm working on making a better form of the abysmal stand-alone DDO Character Planner, aka: an object lesson in bad GUI design and slow program execution. I've hit a bit of a speed bump involving the SP tables that DDO uses for a class' base spell point values. Simply put, they do NOT follow a simple, logical progression. NO, they follow some idiotic fucking algorithmic bullshit I have yet to decipher. Am I going to spend days, perhaps even weeks, reverse-engineering the algorithm these assholes use so I can do it all in code? Fuck that. No, instead, I'm just going to have to make another script type, even though SP tables weren't something I wanted to script in the first place because, like an idiot, I thought they followed a simple progression.
So, I had a little bit of money and I went and bought Alice: Madness Returns off of Steam, because I've been looking forward to it for a long time. What I forgot was that it was an EA game, and that I was running WINE, and apparently EA doesn't like that. I got this error: http://i.imgur.com/ZIyCt.jpg?1 I'm going to try to boot into Windows properly later on, but really, it shouldn't be this much of a pain in the ass to play a game I legitimately bought and paid for and have been looking forward to for a long time.
Everything is turning into video tutorials, dont get me wrong I understand the purpose, but sometimes I dont want to sit there waiting for the fuckin thing to buffer or hurry and load up. Maybe I want some GODDAMN TEXT!
I just realized that I haven't been taking my thyroid medication for several days now. The strict antibiotics schedule I'm on totally threw me off track. Christ, I may as well buy one of those stupid containers to organize my pills by day of the week. I feel way too fucking old.
I just went to grab some poison to kill these fucking ants, and the bottle was covered in ants.
People who smell like they bathe in perfume, you don't need a ton of the shit on, did you ever stop to think that it bothers some people, I personally can't stand the smell of way too much perfume on a person.'re so ugly and frumpy looking.
For the most part I use Xubuntu anymore instead of Windows, and run Steam over the partition with WINE, right?
As for things that annoy me, iTunes decided it doesn't want to sync my iPod anymore, making it entirely useless. That's literally the only reason I had the program, and none of the iTunes replacements are compatible with the iPod Touch... the thing's near bloody useless now.

I can't think of any good reason for a dog to do that. Although, that's because generally, "crotch in your face," and "You gonna get raped" are pretty much synonymous in my mind.

So I'm sitting in my dining room, talking to my brothers, when we look outside and see a woman standing in front of our house, writing things in a notepad. So we go outside to see what's going on, and she says to us that our house numbers aren't correct. They're supposed to be brass, and ours aren't. And then she tells us that we're not allowed to have toys in our front yard, nor is the recycling can allowed to be there.
Says who? Well, apparently there is a community board that has deemed what is acceptable and what is not acceptable for the houses in the neighborhood.
Then a man comes up and starts talking to us, and we learn that he's been looking into our (fenced in) backyard, and has taken pictures of everything they feel is a violation.
That doesn't sound very legal to me.

They're real, and they're fucking ridiculous. They try to suck you in with a picturesque family-friendly environment, but charge you monthly fucking HOA fees and limit what you can do to your property.Wait, you actually have to pay them for membership?! Who the fuck would be stupid enough to pay total strangers to stick their collective noses in your business?

A lot of the time, when you buy a house that's attached to an HOA, you don't get to say, "No I don't want to be a part of that." You either pay them the membership dues, or you find another house.There's no way that's legal. These twats aren't the local government, they're little more than a rather despotic club. What the fuck are they going to do if you refuse to pay?

It was created by a real estate developer. It's not like every home is mandated in such a manner -- only certain communities.Ah, yeah, that's not so bad. Still bullshit, but if morons want to willingly buy into it, that's their funeral.
Not to say that I support it. I find it to be absolute shit. But it's the choice of the developer, if they want to do such a thing. People buy into it, somehow.

In our defense (because yes, we do have an HOA where I live) there wasn't much of a choice. At the time my parents bought this house, they had to take what they could get.

I remember in my high school sociology class, we were talking about respect and how you earn it. And this girl raised her hand and said she respects women who own five hundred dollar purses. And like half the class agreed with her. Why the hell is that a reason to respect someone?I'd say because if someone can afford to spend that much on a purse, they're quite obviously better than you.

I don't hate them, despite preferring larger breeds. However, a lot of the owners -- not all, mind you, but a fair chunk of them -- are fucking idiots who don't realize that they're still dogs, and need to be treated as such.
I ever get another dog, its gonna be a husky. No two ways about it, because huskies kick ass.
I'll just say this: I can't stand tiny dogs. (Chihuahuas, terriers, and the like.)

I don't mind small dogs. If I had a small dog, it would either be a Maltese or an Havanese. But if I had a big dog, I think I'd have an Afghan or Pit.
For sure though, I will never in my life own a Cocker Spaniel. I hate those dogs so much. Along with Wheatens. Fucking assholes.

I once read an article about why women are turned off by men who have cats. It was the stupidest thing I've ever read.BECAUSE MEN SHOULD BE MANLY-MEN, NOT HOMOSEXUAL PUSSIES WHO LIKE GIRL STUFF!!! (insecure male logic)

I only remember one of the reasons: Cats are low-maintenance, so if a man doesn't want to bother taking care of an animal, HOW WILL HE EVER TAKE CARE OF YOU?
I'd make a macho man's head explode. Seriously, I like to cook, I don't mind cleaning (if I'm doing it with someone I like), I like cats, and I have...well, fewer problems expressing my emotions than I used to. On the other hand, I love traditionally "manly" things like explosions, action movies, and Amon Amarth. Oh, and cutting bitches in half with swords. I really like that.I'm the same way. I don't like to cook, but I go ga-ga over kittens, get misty-eyed at movies, and love to cuddle. Then I put on my armor and go to sword fighting class, and unwind with a violent movie or some UFC.
Well...unless we're talking about the Macho Man. Macho Man Randy Savage was a real man who loved real Slim Jims and putting fools in half-nelsons.... and wearing brightly colored spandex while flamoyantly preening in front of a screaming crowd.

Once there were some kids giving a presentation on the communist revolution in China, and they kept pronouncing "bourgeois" as "bor-gee." (With a hard g.)Somebody hasn't been informed on how French phonetics work, but I can understand since to the English-speaking eye, the words are read by how they're spelled and not how they're actually pronounced. I do commend them for remembering to not pronounce the last letter, even though that pronunciation makes my head hurt for how bad it is.
Netflix took down Stargate: SG1.I know how that feels. I was crushed when they took down Monty Python's Flying Circus. However, I hated how their release was not complete and they skipped to only episodes that had the well known sketches. Hell, they even compiled it to where it looked the the show had only one season (there were four). I swear, whoever did the Netflix release for that show really honestly didn't give a fuck.
I've been watching it to help me fall asleep lately. It is in the perfect sweet spot where it's entertaining enough to keep my attention and stop my mind from wandering (which ensures that I will not be able to sleep) without being so stimulating that it keeps me awake for hours on end. The only other thing that I've ever known to work like that is West Wing, which I don't have.

Aye, and then the ruddy thing resists spelling reform because of the whole liason rules. I mean the 's' in 'ils' seems pointless when you're saying "ils sont cochons", but then in a sentence like "ils ont cochons" it suddenly comes rising up to bite you in the arse.Once there were some kids giving a presentation on the communist revolution in China, and they kept pronouncing "bourgeois" as "bor-gee."

French can definitely present problems, since a lot of words have letters groups tacked onto the end that are either barely pronounced or not pronounced at all ("boivent" said more or less as "bwahv", etc.), along with the aforementioned phonetics. And trying to remember all of the gender tenses when it's not your first language is quite a pain.

Road works. I understand the necessity of road works. I do not understand why, instead of doing the lion's share of the work at night as is normal, the road work being done on NE 85th in Kirkland, WA is being done during the day, seriously disrupting traffic. It's not as if it's a major arterial or anything! And I bet the workers would prefer to not be working in the sun.One word: Overtime.

Do you shave there? That's really common if the razor irritated your skin.
I think my ex mentioned that he had the same thing a couple times, and it turned out to just be zits that went away on their own. Treatments for both are probably iffy at best and could irritate it more.
That... actually sounds pretty likely. Here's hoping you're right and I freaked out over nothing.

Does it look like this?That's razor burn. Most people I know, including myself, get it on their inner thighs if they shave their pubic area, since the hair is thicker there and thus more prone to irritation. There's not much you can do about it, but I've found the more regularly you shave without letting the hair regrow much, the less of a problem it becomes.(click to show/hide)
I just got back from having blood drawn, and while the nurse was nice, she had trouble getting blood from my left arm. Now, I have giant manly veins that all nurses have praised, so I'm rather annoyed that she dug around in my arm for several minutes to no avail and was forced to switch to my right arm. I now have pain shooting from my left shoulder down my entire arm.

I now want those spicy chicken nuggets ma used to get...
That's a possibility too, if you don't eat much oily/greasy foods. Since I decided to eat leaner, and have done so for a while, I found that deep fried/bathed in oil type foods make my stomach queasy for a little while after eating them. I don't puke or anything, it's just a heavy blargh feeling.

I never fry anything that's pre-made or frozen. Always bake. The only time I ever fry things is when I make them from scratch.
In regard to Art feeling ill, it could be that you didn't have the oil at a high enough temperature, which would have allowed more oil to seep into the nuggets. More oil make you feel like crap. Try a higher temperature next time.

My friend's obsession with "Fifty Shades of Grey". Actually the whole buzz about "Fifty Shades of Grey" annoys me. I don't get it.
My dread is a Seagull S6, it's a great guitar. I recently bought a Martin 000-15, which is made of mahogany. So now I have two dark sounding guitars. I'd be all over a Seagull SWS dread or SWS Mini Jumbo. Next time I'm out I'll have to see if I can spot an Artwood.
I really just need to save some money. I was very very tempted by a Martin D1GT that was marked down to $800, and really wanted that. But I can't part with that much right now. I'll just have to be patient and until a few months, save and see what I see.
People in warm climates who whine about temperatures of 16 degrees (around 60F). I got frostbite last winter, god damn it. It dropped down to -40 with wind chill when I had to take the bus, and I didn't post 500 rants on Facebook about it. 16 degrees is not "icy cold", and does not warrant endless status updates clogging up my news feed.
Why do people always knock on the door when I'm trying to sleep? That's just fifty shades of obnoxious.
Yeah, it's hard to stave off GAS (Guitar Acquisition Syndrome). Does it HAVE to be a dread, because dreads are a little darker-sounding by nature. Personally for a brighter sound I'm partial to grand concert or grand auditorium styles. Jumbos are great, but I'm not exactly the biggest person, and they make me look even smaller than I already am, lol. I'd take one if it was given to me, though lol... even if I'd look like Little Jimmy Dickens (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Jimmy_Dickens).Doesn't have to be a dread. But I am looking for something boomy and that can handle strumming without sounding out of its element, which is the case with the 000. It just made sense to me to replace the dread, rather than having a 4th guitar in my small apartment.
When a person asks you how to do something, you try to tell them but they keep fucking it up. Then you try to do it yourself to show them, they get pissy and say "No just show me", then they continue fucking it upYou just described how work is with the new foodcarts. So freaking annoying.
My girlfriend's little brother, who cannot apparently understand that when his sister is in her room with her boyfriend, he should leave them alone. Or that knocking repeatedly on the door will only annoy his sister. Although I think he's learned not to actually open the door, after he did so while we were cuddling.

How old is the brother? I remember doing that to my sister on occasion, but I was maybe 6 at the time.
I never really minded when a nurse or doctor walked in while I was changing. Ain't nothing I got that they ain't seen before. If a nurse/doctor has never seen a naked body before, I don't know if I'd want to be seeing him/her.
That's just me, though.
Edit: Also, I love it when the nurse at the doctor's office walks in on me changing and doesn't even fucking apologize. Because I wasn't uncomfortable enough already, you stupid bitch.
I just ate two pizzas over the course of a single day and now I'm sick as a dog. Ah well, it's nothing a big bottle of vanilla Coke can't fix.

I absolutely hate mouth ulcers. I keep getting them for some reason. I can real feel their pain whenever I make up and they make it harder for me to clean my teeth or even eat food. Despise them. >:(
Are those the same as canker sores?Yes I are. I actually do have treatment for them known as Bonjela. It does work but you have to put alot on to fully make sure it heals up.
My new cat is definitely in heat, and I'm pretty sure that I'm about to go insane.
Oh god thank the lord my cats are all neutered now.
Like hearing those faint sounds most people can't even process consciously. Tis both a blessing and a curse.
Reminds me of that South Park episode where Cartman's cat (Mr. Kitty) is constantly making a similar noise because he/she is in heat, much like your cat I should say. It was the episode "Cat Orgy" in Season 3. As for your cat though, I hope you can sort her out. I personally find that noise rather cute.

I'm the only person I know (in real life) who can hear when a tv is on just by the high pitched sound it makes. I can also smell when rain is coming.
I remember mentioning this on the old forum and a couple people said that they could sense those things too. Feels good to not be a freak or crazy.
Hang on, that doesn't sound right to me, unless I have misunderstood this. If I am getting the process right the order should go 6-([1*0]+[2/2]), which gives 6-(0+1) and thus 5, not 7.There's no paraphrases therefor the answer is 1.Actually it's 7.

It's [6-[1x0]]+[2/2]. Subtraction and addition are of equal priority, so they're calculated sequentially.

Whenever I see an asterisk after "trans."I'd find it less frustrating if it didn't leave me looking for a foot note each damn time. I've been considering suggesting alternate special characters that can be used as anything for matching purposes, but I rather figured % would fall on deaf ears.
I'm sick of this "oh its more inclusive" thing. No its not, its a stupid thing done by internet hipsters so they can bitch and moan about how big bad QueenofHearts is a bigot. Kind of like that whole "tumblr SJW thread" how people come up with new reasons to cry bigotry. If you want to come up with an umbrella term (I feel genderqueer is a perfect one....) then come up with a better umbrella term, or just say "the trans community." This asterisk crap is a giant difference that makes no difference and is therefore a waste of time.
That may or may not have been building up for a while.

I really don't care about the issue. But the use of it does make me wonder, there's transman, transwoman, and whatelse? Transplant?Lessee
Lessee
Transabled
Transethinc
Transspecies(i don't see why otherkin haven't outright adopted this, some certainly imply it enough)
Transfat(no I'm not kidding)
I'm waiting to find a transtrans before much longer. If only for amusement's sake. And now that I think about it, I have seen someone claiming to have the spirit of a turnip or something, so transplant isn't out of the realm of possibility. Sanity, sure, possibility, apparently not.
But oddly enough, that damn * is pretty much used for the same point it'd be used as a wild card, anything trans, being inclusive and all.
I missed my 666th post.I'll be sure to address mine.

Drivers who think that stopping at a stop sign is optional. Fucking assholes.
I saw an ad near my school that said "Prof. electrician, will help u save $$$$." Yeah, that sounds professional.
Also, I'm getting really fed up with the two new houses they're building in my neighborhood. There are houses for sale here, and yet they just had to take down a shitload of trees and plop two more hideous houses on the steepest, most dangerous curve.They'll have drivethroughs soon enough.
You want to know what pisses me off? Attention whoring YouTube commenters, the ones who go "omg thumbs up if you're buying this game!" or make a retarded joke about the number of dislikes like "(insert person) made (insert number) accounts to dislike this video!". How does that make any sense?I always flag those sort of comments as spam whenever I see them.
Anyone got a sleeping pill? Seriously, I can't bring myself to sleep, and its starting to give me a fucking headache.
Is it me, or do people LOVE standing in the most inconvenient places.They just put up another 75 cubes for phone reps in my building. I have about four inches of clearance on either side of my shoulders in the passage ways they've put through them. I see a lot of this shit in my near future.
Doorways
Stairs
Corridors.
Even the train announcer at Richmond station was getting pissed off at the amount of people that refused move out of the stairway, kept on making snide remarks. I swear unless to beat a person over the head with something, they won't notice they're in the bloody way.
I always flag those sort of comments as spam whenever I see them.So do I. I thumb them down with both my accounts and make them as spam as well. It annoys me how people actually do thumb them up. I don't see the point in whoring for thumbs up unless you have a really good reason for it, like suggesting a really cool feature in a video game. Its pathetic though when they state the obvious like "thumbs up if you're watching this movie" and such.
People that I trust keep lying to me, to the extent that I don't really trust them anymore. I need to be able to trust these people, and my distrust is getting severe enough that I now suspect that almost everything they say to me is a lie.

I registered a Netflix account, which is awesome, but one of the main reasons I wanted one was to be able to watch all of the Star Trek: TOS & DS9 episodes I haven't seen, and apparently those aren't available to Canadian users. In fact, a good chunk of the films and TV series that American an access haven't been licensed for Canada. Son of a bitch.I'm guessing that's the streaming service, so you could add on the disc service. But having both has gotten expensive. Post reminds me I have TOS in my queue, I need to go watch Spock's Brain and find out if it's as bad as people claim.
Still worth the money, though. I'm watching all of the Star Trek films, and finally started watching Breaking Bad. :D

I have a somewhat deep mystery scratch on my 000. I've always been really careful when playing and handling it, never remember knocking it into anything. It says in the case when I'm not paying it, but I have no idea how it got there. It's my first (somewhat) expensive nice guitar, and I really wanted to keep it in mint condition.

Yes, after 42 years driving experience in the UK, I had to take the NY written test and road test to get my driver's licence - but there are so many fucking idiot lunatics out on the roads - I wish I had the power to make them all take the tests again!

I know, right? There's some sick people in this world.
Now if you'll all excuse me for just a second, I have to go buy yet another box of tissues.
So in russian, there is such a thing as verb conjuction. Take the word Ходить. If I want to say I walk, the word is Я Ходить. However, the last three letters are ить, and in words like that, you have to change that to a Ю, since Я is behind it. In essence, any word that ends in those last three letters, after Я, has to change to Ю. So we are left with Я ХодЮ
But theres more, Ю cant be used after the letter X due to spelling rules, so we change it to a y. giving us Я Ходy.
And theres more, that word is also subject to consonant mutation, dunno why this happens, it just does, so д is changed to ж. Giving us with the final word Я Хожy.
. Anybody learning Russian has to go through that just to say "I walk". Yeah, thats not messed up at all

The taste of toothpaste, everytime I brush my teeth, I gag so much I come close to vomiting.Use baking soda and water?
Bleh. So, my cat's in overnight at the vet to get spayed, and while the surgery apparently went well, the fact that she's been in continual heat adds an extra $100 onto the total bill. Total cost (including tattoo and microchip) is going to be nearly $400. I want to bodyslam her former owner right now.
Between this and the broken tooth, I'm not having a particularly good day.
You know, I've tried all different kinds of toothpaste, its all nasty to me and can't tell the difference between any of the kinds, but thanks anyway.
My fan died today.
I have my dental surgery coming up in a week, and they've given me this super-mouthwash to use twice a day until then. Every last thing I eat after taking it tastes like ass.
I put the fan in my closet, but it's not loud enough to drown out the sound. My AC unit has been loud enough all summer, but it's a window unit and I'm definitely going to have to take it out soon.get a white noise machine...

There are far too many asshole children. And by extension, I'm going to assume their parents are assholes for doing such a shitty job raising them. At a fall festival I attended yesterday, I'd never seen so many horrible children crammed into one place. Kids who should've known better were behaving like complete monsters. There was a girl (her parents nowhere to be seen) using a piece of rope as a whip to hurt other kids. There were kids throwing dirt and rocks at strangers, trying to hurt them. When I was at the front of the line for a cart ride, a girl about 10 years old literally pushed me out of the way so she could steal my spot. What the fuck is wrong with people?This is why I support child leashes, shock collars, straight jackets, eugenics, mandatory abortions for any couple under 25 and/or without a BA or higher education, and retroactive abortions for parasites that behave like this.

Meh, that's not so bad. I've heard far worse (and you can thank your lucky stars that I couldn't find it on Youtube, by the way).I bet now everyone has the Wentworth jingle out of their heads, at least.Your American jingles are powerless against me.

What is not powerless against you is the bird. Have you heard?Of course I've heard about the bird. Everybody's heard that the bird is the word.
I made a typo in a facebook status. I am so embarrassed. Why the hell can't you edit those things??You can edit them iirc, mouse over the post and there should be an arrow that pops up on the right side of the post, click that and I *think* it gives the option to edit. Then, I could be wrong, but I think that's how it works. If not, I'm a derp and you should ignore me.
I feel like I remember being able to do that, but now the edit options are: change date, add location, hide, delete. Seriously, that is horrible. I just want to change one letter!

Of all the fans I've encountered, Yankees fans have been some of the worst. I know each franchise has its assholes, but goddamn, they can be an arrogant group of pricks.
They love to brag about their World Series numbers. Well, what the fuck do you think's gonna happen when you have an owner who's wealthy enough to basically BUY YOU a goddamn winning team?

I was in the student health center when a loudmouth girl entered and proceeded to tell the entire waiting room that she possibly had ringworm, showing all of us the disgusting mark on her side. Then she went on about how popular she was and how many friends she had, despite her not understanding why. She also detailed an upcoming date with a hot French guy. I've never wanted to stab someone more.

Seizures can be triggered by a lot of things. I hope things turn out okay.
When childbirth is referred to as "a beautiful miracle." No, it's a biological function that's utterly disgusting and involves pain that no one should ever have to endure. I'm so glad I don't want kids.While I'm sure it'll piss people around here off, you'd be stunned at how many people change their minds on that as they get older. I should have kept a tally, but I can think of at least 5 girls from high school who swore up down and sideways they'd never had kids who have them now. It's been about 10 years, and I think I'm forgetting a few.
Ahh... the mandatory pre-storm bread and milk run. I thought it only happened down south here.Yeah, but the fucking hot dog buns too?

I'm sure people do change their minds, but there'll always be folks who simply don't want them. Even if I do end up changing my mind (which I seriously doubt I will), I'm not going to get pregnant and have one. I'll adopt.

I've been having a ton of issues with Facebook for the past few days. Can't like, comment, post, deal with friend requests, anything. This wouldn't bother me so much if I didn't have a good number of messages that need responding, as well as tons of shows to promote and tickets to sell. It's like my account has been suspended for some reason, but I've received no notification of this being the case.I'm having issues with commenting too. I can't do it through a web browser, but if I log in with Facebook application on my phone I can do everything fine.

People who think owning a dog means letting it lie around the house all day, and feeding it occasionally. No. When you get a dog, you have to know a thing or two about the breed so you know how much exercise it'll need each day, and how much downtime it can handle before going berserk. If you get something like a border collie, don't bitch and moan about the poor thing being hyper all day when it's your own goddamn fault for never walking it. Don't get a dog like that if you're in an apartment and know you won't be able to handle it. Be responsible.Yeah, if you want a lump to feed, get a cat. You won't be dissapointed.
Next dog I get is gonna be a greyhound.
Halo 4 got released a little while ago and it gave me a hell of a night up until then. Had a whole bunch of idiots trying to break into the back room to swipe copies of it early or grab the special edition X-Boxes (Wound up locking them inside our ammunition locker to keep them away).
Wouldn't have been so bad if one of them hadn't decided to act like a rabid squirrel and attack me when I pushed him back out the doors away from it. Had to end up giving him a Sparta style kick to the chest to get him to stop charging and flailing at me (Online badassery right there). On the bright side, none of the managers said I did wrong considering they were watching the whole thing.

The concept of this album is inspired by the mystical and psychological archetypes to explain the universal version of a generic soul that rules from the collective unconscious of individuals in all human civilizations since antiquity. These archaic prototypes were copied, emulated and used since the dawn of humanity, and fantastic dream and images have been represented in myths and symbols, trying to explain these exemplary patterns that are still alive and latent until today. They sleep present in popular folklore, in the psyche of every human being, influencing yourself and collectively in the beliefs and ideas that lead them to make beautiful and creative acts or carrying even their own destruction, evolving or backward from that inexorable shape societies through time and history. This album runs in his melodies and lyrics the long road of archetypes that continue to print his psychological injury in each individual and that shape their behavior in society, determining the fate of humanity

I've been using an electric shaver for the last 8 years, and it finally died the other day. Instead of buying a new one, I decided to go back to regular razors for awhile. I'm suddenly reminded why I switched to electric in the first place. My face itches and burns at the same time. Buying a new electric shaver tomorrow.That's why I love my safety razor. No itching or burning, better shave than an electric, and cheaper. Although you do have to be careful to not cut your finger while changing blades. I did that yesterday.
After the longest time, I got another -1 on my Fuck Nos... Makes me wonder what I said. Oh well, I hope they've gotten over it.

I can't find my damn hearing aids anywhere. I've had to go without them for two days already, and if I have to say "Can you repeat that?" one more time I'm going to scream.Dang, that sucks. What % frequency loss do you have?

I can imagine. I've got around a 5% loss in my left ear, but it's nothing compared to how up shit creek I am without my glasses/contacts. I'm over 20/300 or more if I remember correctly.I can't find my damn hearing aids anywhere.

20% in both ears. I don't need them to function, but they make life a hell of a lot easier.
After leaving it displaying the wrong time for over half a year, I finally set my alarm clock to the proper time... only to have the hydro be shut off the very next day, for most of the day, leaving the time hopelessly wrong again.Everytime I set the bloody thing the hydro goes out...So I guess the garberator didn't work either.

A little from column A, and a little from column B. I find the term hydro to refer to electricity a bit odd.

They started playing Christmas music at my job...
Just about the only Christmas music I listen to now is from the Moody Blues album "December". It's not only Christmas songs though. It's generally covers the whole December atmosphere.What about this one?
Also, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra Christmas albums.
Mainstream radio Christmas songs I've heard so much I'm bloody tired of them.

Today is my birthday and in my house (like most houses, I'm sure) we pick a birthday dinner. Since waking up this morning all I've been hearing is my mom complaining about how I ask too much of her and she doesn't have time for my dinner, and she's apparently been complaining to my siblings about me and how I shouldn't have asked for such an elaborate dinner. I asked for chicken parmesan. All I want to do right now it cry.

Decided on a whim to do a job search in my area.
Apparently everything, including janitorial work requires 3-5 years of experience and at least a Bachelor's Degree. This does not bode well for me.

Doesn't surprise me at all.

What's annoying me RIGHT NOW is the earworm of a commercial that's been on like 20 times already. "The lights the lights that light the lights the lights that light the lights the lights that light the lights the light that lights..."
Blargh.
Oh trust me I know thanks to that commercial I was sent on a magical two hour journey through the magical world of the internet (part of that two hours was spent dicking around on TV Tropes) where I fount the band that made that song who aren't that bad and the song is cool too if you hear the full version.
Was on Facebook, accidentally sent a friend request to someone I've never even heard of when I meant to click "mutual friends" (I was really fucking bored, sue me). This may prove awkward.
I have the treasure dance song stuck in my head from Yo Gabba Gabba, and my head has morphed it into the pleasure dance, which really grosses me out considering the characters on the show.
HI David,
I heard that you showed up yesterday when we had boy scouts here. I followed up with Josh & I did not respond to your email about coming yesterday as I knew that we had boy scouts.
Since you are a volunteer here to meet your personal goals and are temporary, you are not listed on a group list in which you would’ve been notified to not attend yesterday’s group.
At this time, we will give it one more shot, but again we are here to serve the kids that live here & not to assist you with your hour requirements. It is a pressure we are feeling from you & this is not our role here & it is distracting for us to complete our work.
I hope you understand.
Thank you & have a wonderful holiday,
(Boss)
How is she having a go at you? She says she didn't reply and you weren't notified, so how would you know not to come in? Are you meant to be fucking psychic.
I find it hilarious that she's feeling pressured by your desire to help out. Apart from volunteering for clean up after floods I have never been in a situation where there were too many volunteers and they weren't desparate for more.
That woman seems like a dick.
Usually asberger's related non-sense is what annoys me the most. I have a lot of "I'm not psychic" moments with people who seem to think I can just get things. I mean, my roommate and I have been having issues with each other since semester began because he just seems like he's a universe away from me. Though it might be that it's been a while since I've had to deal with someone really...

She already got pissed at me because I asked about a rule change since I volunteered there my senior year of high school. She accused me of trying to the break the rules to get hours. I was simply trying to find out what the rules were so that I wouldn't break them.
That rule, by the way, involved volunteers coming in whenever they wanted and reading to, playing with, or going on walks around the center with the kids. It was allowed then, but nowadays, under the new management (her), it's no longer an option. Since I asked, she's acted suspicious of me whenever I work alone with a kid or go get one for an activity.
Christmas music, everywhere. I'm sick of it already, and it's only been a few days after Thanksgiving.
Managers often don't have any say in what type of music is played. Corporate will send them orders that they must follow, or risk being reported. At my mom's old store, they had zero control of the music. As in, there was no adjusting volume or anything, and it played 24/7, even after they closed and left the store.
Just do what I did in situations like that: Sit quietly and read a book or draw on something. Preferably not the desk, of course. :p
Oh yeah... Sleeping... and the DS too. When I was going to school we didn't have them newfangled game-playing thingies! Well... we did, but it was the pea-soup GameBoy and they were usually taken away if they were brought out during class.
Okay, my roommate is a fucking idiot. He only went home for the Thursday of Thanksgiving break, and came back that night. As soon as he did, he left for a party or a rave or some shit and didn't come back till four in the afternoon yesterday. For two days while he was at the party and I was at home, our lights were on, our door was open, his music was blaring, and there was trash and open food fucking everywhere. Our garbage was overflowing, but he hadn't thought to take it out before he left. I didn't think much of it, since he cleaned most of it up yesterday, except for the trash can.
Today, I went to brush my teeth at the sink and had an awful realization. Because Nathan can't be assed to do anything other than drink, party, and listen to his techno music at high volume all the damn time, we now have a fucking fly infestation.
I'm getting sick of his shit.
The World Bank.
I'm trying to get data from their website for a paper I'm working on, and I cannot imagine a more labyrinthine layout. They have abbreviations that they do not and Google cannot explain. There does not seem to be a way to access a simple table of the amount that they have loaned to each country. The place were all of that information is collected, but you can only view about 20 countries per page, and thus have to tab through a lot of pages to get the information for each of the 17 nations in which I am interested. Moreover, I've found pages on their website through Google that I cannot navigate to through their home page or country pages. On these pages, they list the total loans that they have made to one specific country. The numbers from this source don't match the numbers from the other page, and it's not even close. One has Bolivia as having been approved for a total of $15 million, with virtually none dispersed, while the other says that they have had nearly $275 billion dispersed.
I don't know if they're being intentionally difficult to navigate, or if an advanced degree in accounting is necessary to understand their website, it's annoying either way, and I'm not sure if I have valid data for my paper.
How weird parrots behave. My bird is only attached to me, and treats everything else like a threat. He is a little cuddle monster around me, but he acts like a guard dog whenever anyone else is around. Also he attacks objects and people if it distracts me from him. Like right now, I'm laying on my belly with my laptop in front of me. Auggie(the bird's name) is on the ground and cuddling my face and snuggling under my neck. But since I have the computer, he is trying to block my view of it so I focus on him. He does the same with books, Nintendo, TV, my phone, and homework. If I don't notice him after that he will headbutt me and rub his face on my face as hard a he can like "HUMAN. GIVE ME ATTENTION. NOW". He leans on my face so I can't see sometimes too.
Also, he attacks my computer, phone, DS, and whatever I'm reading since he thinks hes competing for attention. If I'm typing with my hands he will eventually think my hands are his enemy too since they are "cuddling" the computer instead of him.
What's weird is that he acts like a little guard dog around me, but whenever he sees my mom he becomes her guard dog and treats me like a threat. Sometimes he attacks my mom though to "protect" me. I guess it just depends on who he wants to see at the time.

I could ask my dad about it, since he's got a pretty strong accounting background.
Or possibly a Senegal Parrot? They're notorious for picking one person, and one person only. All others, beware their wrath.
Customers that get mad at me for asking if they want to give to charity to round up to the nearest dollar. Especially if they tell me that they already give X amount to charity. You know what, I don't care, I'm not judging you or trying to guilt trip you. There is no need for you to tell me about your history of charitable giving.
About the tanning stuff, The reason why being a tanning addict is bad:

Re the tanning thing: The girl who used to live here was fucking orange. My landlady thought she looked wonderfully healthy with that tan, but no. Orange skin is not healthy. It looked especially unhealthy due to the contrast of her platinum blonde hair and startlingly white teeth.
I'll never understand the tan fad, because I've seen too many people go to extremes to achieve the look. It's not an instance where just a few nutters are burning themselves to a crisp in tanning beds. I saw a TON of girls in my high school do it year-round, and it almost makes me nauseous seeing their before and after pictures. It just looks unhealthy to me, even if it's more moderate. It looks like you've been cooking in an oven, and no one wants that.

Something that annoys me...fancy-flavored coffee creamers, like salted caramel and shit. Yeah, some of em are alright, but...really? Its coffee, I want it to taste like coffee: sweet, with cream. If I had my druthers, the fanciest creamer I'd ever get is French vanilla. Also, liquid creamer only. The clumps dry creamer makes look gross, and it always leaves my coffee with froth at the top, which makes the glass a real whore to clean, afterward.

The clumps dry creamer makes look gross, and it always leaves my coffee with froth at the top, which makes the glass a real whore to clean, afterward.
As an coffee addict, I love the different falavored coffee creamers. I wish I could find my all time favorite:Chocolate Raspberry, I haven't been able to find it for close to a year now. Though I hear you on liquid creamer, I'm not a big fan of the dry stuff.

If you're a coffee addict, I bet you'd love a Keurig and the 32958937871 different flavors it has to offer. I just looked it up and one of the flavors is chocolate raspberry truffle. I'm not sure if it's the same thing, but perhaps it's worth a try. I know the machine can be expensive, but if you're an addict and looking to invest in something worthy, it's a pretty good choice.
I'm artistically frustrated lately. I'm having trouble drawing anything without a reference picture. I can see what I want to draw in my head, but I can't get it out on paper.
Sometimes I can draw straight from my imagination, but not now, not even simple things.I'm artistically frustrated lately. I'm having trouble drawing anything without a reference picture. I can see what I want to draw in my head, but I can't get it out on paper.

I hate how I always have to press the on button twice before my laptop turns on.
Sometimes I forget and just press it once.
Then i'll go and get something, and come back expecting to see the password screen already up, but it isn't even turned on >:(
Then I have to actually turn it on and wait a few minutes for it to load up. It's an absolute disgrace!

People who, when they find out I like something say a popular game, start to insult it and complain about it to me. I still haven't figured out their reasoning. Are you... are you trying to make me agree even tho I already said I love the series? Are... are you just trying to be an ass?
It's even better when people say BUT THERE IS SO MUCH WRONG WITH IT! Newsflash: I can still like something despite its faults. I can still like something and accept it has faults. I am not the type of person who says THIS GAME IS PERFECT. It isn't. No game is perfect but I can still love it regardless. Just like we can like a person even tho they tend to do something we dislike. You see?
I've dealt with this on multiple forums and on tumblr. And then people make assumptions based on what I tend to like. It's kinda amusing. And annoying.

I also am getting really annoyed with the whole LET'S CROSSOVER SHERLOCK WITH EVERYTHING!
When people say "that isnt funny" when they are offended by are jokeI get annoyed by that, too. Especially if it leads to some diatribe over how said joke isn't funny because So-and-so person/race/gender/species/lifestyle/whatever happens to be the butt of it. All ya need to do is not laugh and move on. A good comedian will be able to either determine whether or not said joke is appropriate for the audience beforehand, or learn that it's not when nobody laughs. There's no need to have a hissy fit about it.
Guess what, if people other than the joke teller find it funny, then it's funny.
I get paranoid easy. Like I think everyone talks about me as soon as I leave, and that they can read my thoughts sometimes... It's really unnerving. I even thought that all the school counselors and teachers were being sarcastic with me when they tried to help me.

Well, if you REALLY ARE having this problem, and not just sympathy trolling, get professional help. It sounds like anxiety or something on the schizophrenia spectrum, and you're definitely in the right age bracket for the latter to start.

I feel like I look like I've aged a decade in the past few months. A man should not be having grey hairs at 23. Then again, I might just be noticing them because I am incredibly fucking OCD when it comes to my hair.

What is it about the holiday season that makes everyone so petty?
Hmm, not sure either, but really what little you're describing sounds like it. What else do you do during the episode (In terms of hygiene, schoolwork, interaction with others, sleep, diet)? Is it getting worse each time or staying the same? You might try keeping a journal for a while.

I notice that no matter what people say, it sounds like they hate me. Not hate as in an annoyance, but genuinely angry or threatening me. This is from everyone, even if it's my best friend laughing or my dad. It's really scary because if I'm in a room with a ton of people it feels like being around a ton of people that secretly want to murder you.
People's faces have warped in a "growl" face sorta before, but that's only happened like 2 or 3 times. By "growl" face I mean more like a Chinese lion's growl, or a shisa dog, or even your current avatar.
I actually found this vid which simulates the feeling perfectly, except slightly less extreme:I've never done drugs or anything btw, and the sounds and "slow" effect in the video are accurate.(click to show/hide)
Well the top part yeah, but only for a week every once and a while. I am seeing someone right now but it's sort of hard to explain it in person, and I'm afraid she will either not believe me, or diagnose me with schizophrenia, which I don't want to take the meds.
As far a the bottom three symptoms: First, sort of true, but more with homework. Second one, kind of true, but not as bad as most people suffering from schizophrenia. Third, true during the week long episodes. I get less sleep (3 hours, give or take 1) because I get paranoid as shit and can't sleep. These 3 symptoms are common in most mental disorders though.
I was at a party tonight, and a girl who had been babysitting two young girls showed up. And BROUGHT the fucking kids with her. Do you honestly think that's appropriate? They were 11 and 5 years old, and the party immediately died when they arrived. Way to fucking ruin it, you bitch.
She also started a "Real Ladies" club. It's a club where girls basically wear "cute" clothes and bake. The outfits she wears are very 1950's-like. It sounds really passive aggressive when they say "real ladies" in my opinion.

Sounds to me she's the queen of the school. And you know what happens to queens right?
Or you could not do anything secure in the knowledge that this is the highest she'll ever get.Except she's also getting top grades, so chances are she'll get a full scholarship to the university of her choice.

You should make a phone call to the kids parents, I doubt she would be ever babysitting those kids again, or any of the kids of the parents friends and such.
It's very easy to be an overachiever in high school though, considering our shitty standardized testing. So many people screw up in college because it's such a drastic difference, going from learning how to take a multiple choice test, to doing critical thinking on short-answer exams.

Pigeons are probably toxic, due to the kinds of things they eat in urban environments (so yeah, bad meat).
PET rats are just fine, but the wild ones? I never ever want to see them again. Or wild mice, for that matter. Shitty rental houses and poorly-managed apartment complexes will turn you against the disease-ridden little monsters faster than anything, I guarantee it. Luckily that sort of thing is no longer a problem for me.
Honestly why go out of your way to harm any animal* or person? Makes no sense to me.

I love the way pigeons bob their heads when they walk. It's the funniest thing to me.
It's actually an adaption so they can see things clearly. Birds keep their heads still so that they don't see things in a blur, especially when in trees that are swaying. Well when they walk the bobbing is them trying to keep their heads still for as long as possible.
I like to mess with this instinct in my birds. I set one on my finger and then move it up and down, their head stays perfectly in one place.

She addressed a similar issue in her article "The Question of Scholarships,” The Objectivist, June, 1966. From that article:
"Many students of Objectivism are troubled by a certain kind of moral dilemma confronting them in today’s society. We are frequently asked the questions: “Is it morally proper to accept scholarships, private or public?” and: “Is it morally proper for an advocate of capitalism to accept a government research grant or a government job?” (more mid way down the page)

This is our kitchen sink. And those are dishes. Lots and lots of dishes. It is FULL of unwashed dishes. And you know what? That's not even all that bad compared to how terrible it HAS been before.
There are four people living here: me, Boything, Housemate, and his wife. Boything and I are the only two people who do dishes and we don't even really use that many. But somehow, Wife and Housemate manage to produce at least five or six new dirty pots and plates every time they cook and they NEVER, EVER CLEAN UP AFTER THEMSELVES. THey don't even scrape their plates in the bin, so it attracts bugs and sometimes even gets moldy. One time I was washing the sinkful of dishes and some plates at the bottom were SO FILTHY that they were all moldy and even had maggots living in the putrefied gunk.
It is disgusting. I hate it. Nothing works to get them to clean up after themselves. Housemate isn't too bad and will occasionally clean his stuff up, but his wife produces a good 75% of all the dirty shit in that kitchen (most of the dirty dishes you can't even see because they're just piled on the table behind me and have been there for WEEKS) and never ever washes up. Because of my job situation and Boything's injury, money is tight so we can't pay much for rent and it's pretty sporadic when I can manage THAT, so we don't have any power to tell them to clean up after themselves. Housemate is just letting us live here because we have nowhere else to go. Boything has tried telling them they need to clean up because it's a health hazard, but they don't clean up. We even tried just NOT cleaning up after them to see how they'd like living in filth--what happened was that a month and a half went by when nobody was doing dishes and the kitchen was invested with maggots and the dishes were moldy and nasty. Boything and I try to keep on top of things but we just can't. Literally every time we manage to get the sink cleared out and the dishes clean, later that day Housemate and Wife managed to dirty three pots, four pans, eight plates, three bowls, and half the silverware. I have no idea how they even MAKE that many dirty dishes. I cook for myself and Boything and manage to make less than four or five dirty dishes at worst. Housemate's wife cooks for herself only and dirties half of our stuff.
I'm so sick of living like this. It's gross. It's disgusting. I hate it. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of. But there's nothing I can do about it and it makes me want to scream. I'm not even a neat freak or a tidy person. But this is too much even for me.

I know this isn't totally related, but it's a bad idea to buy someone cosmetics as a gift usually. Makeup is pretty personal, and usually only the person it's for will know what's right. Even if it's lipgloss or something, chances are, she already has it.
The idea that all little girls dream of raising babies pisses me off. I mean, what kind of girl wants to play with a pooping, peeing, screaming toy?
When I was growing up, I got a baby dolls and lip gloss for my birthdays. I'd open the box and be like "WTF is this, I wanted hot wheels, you can't race a baby". Since most of the baby dolls I got had an electronic crying thing in it and I didn't know how to turn it off, I learned to slam the baby doll on the ground until the inside electronic thing broke. It was actually pretty fun.
I did other stuff with toys I didn't like. I remember in kindergarten, my best friend was a guy. I'd bring my barbie dolls and Tarzan dolls, and we'd sit there the whole recess pointing too the dolls nipples and saying "BOOBIES".

So, I'm trying to find myself a black fedora with a white band as a Christmas gift. My little brother was going to get it for me, but he didn't have time, so now we're both searching stores and the internet. As far as I can tell, XL black white-banded fedoras LITERALLY DO NOT EXIST. And most hats in general seem stupidly expensive. I found a nice-looking bowler hat- $219 dollars. What the fuck.
I'm going to punch the next gun cummer who whines about Switzerland having a low crime rate due the high rate of gun ownership, therefore everyone should own a gun in the U.S. Yes, it's not like Switzerland is totally different than us, and the people who live there tend to be more wealthy, and have access to decent healthcare...or anything of that nature.

I should have kept some of my grandfather's old hats. I could have made a fortune off hipsters.
I'm really thankful for the stuff I got today, but I'm fucking sick thanks to my sister's kid, and I feel like utter shit.
The "This is not a chicken." picture/argument with eggs annoys me. It doesn't help abortion's case at all. I'm pretty damned sure that the eggs we use for food AREN'T fertilized, so it's kinda like comparing apples to oranges.
For the record, I'm pro-choice, but a lot of the reasons used to argue for abortion annoy the fuck out of me, as I think they're shitty.

He was a Mormon fundie nutbag who'd post here regularly. He got a yearly ban back in '09 (I think, I could be wrong), so at this point it's probably safe to assume he's not coming back.

You want Skyfire? Head on over to the Allspark. Look for a poster named Fortress Ironhold. That's Skyfire.

It's quite sad because we've had chewtoys that were faaaar better than Agni. They join the forum much more infrequently now, it seems.
Auggie, did you miss out on PastorDave? He was a lot of fun, but short-lived.

Except Allspark is a Transformers fan site, and I've no knowledge nor interest whatsoever in Transformers. So yeah, not worth my while just to bother a single person.
1) You don't have to join to see all the posts/threads. Like most sites, there are of course areas you need to be a member for.Except joining a community when you're there not because you're there to interact with like-minded people on the topic of choice (Transformers, in this case), but rather to troll a single person is a wee bit of a dick move, even for me.
2) Just cause it's a fan site doesn't mean that's all they talk about. A lot of fan sites the most popular parts are the non-fan areas.
3) The posts that can be seen are still hilariously dumb.
But, eh. Doesn't entirely matter.
In other news, I was playing Fallout 3 yesterday with my cousin. You know what he said? The game would be better if, and I kid you not, the music in the game were replaced by Skrillex.
I'm not sure if I can ever forgive him for that. Skrillex. In a fucking Fallout game. Just... What the fuck were you thinking?!

I'm annoyed by those hard little ass zits that squirt when you squeeze, but it takes weeks of constant squeezing to get the head.
*C* I see I was unclear in my original post; apologies.
I can deal with zits on my face with no problem; I don't often have them, and when I do I already use many of the remedies you suggest.
The ones that annoy me are, specifically, on my ass.
I hate the increasingly more common trend of clicking on a headline on a news site and being taken to a video rather than an article, with no text version of the article available. I usually skim the news at work and don't have any audio, so video articles are useless. Plus I read way faster than people talk, so it's tedious sitting through a two-minute video that's 80% filler in order to pick out the pertinent information, rather than skimming the relevant information from a text article in 20 seconds.
Magpies. There's a couple of them with a nest near the house. I believe its a mother and a fledgeling. The mother likes to forage for food near my window, particularly in the early morning (as early as 5am) and the fledgeling follows her around, constantly screeching like a fucking banshee. Never in my life have I wanted to shoot something as badly as I do now.
Well, I suppose that proves my theory. Birds are assholes.

They're only assholes to stuff they never learned to not be assholes to. If you raised a Magpie from an egg it would bond with you, so it would follow you around and want to play or cuddle.
People who refuse to buy or even consider a nice home because "it gives me a bad vibe." What the fuck vibe is this? If you're going to reject a purchase, use some logic, please. I can understand not wanting it because it's too modern or too classical and doesn't feel like the home you've been looking for, but for fuck's sake, don't say it's just "the vibe."Not that I want to defend such poor excuses, but would you want to live somewhere where you don't feel comfortable, especially if you couldn't pin down what was causing your unease?

I just learned that we now have to wear some stupid shirt as a unifom for work. All the money I spent on blouses, and makeup to match down the fucking drain...WHY does this shit happen to me??
I just found out it's an ugly blue checked collar shirt...WTF?? They just cost themselevs a ton busniess, because all the employees get their clothing from the store, and if we have to an stupid uniform top, say bye bye to a whole lot of business thanks to the employees for the most part.
At least you'll have more money to spend on yourself.

Maybe take the fancy shirts back and buy fancy pants?

And will I even have a job?? Given that they just costed themselves some of business. You do know that JCP has been having some hard times of late thanks to the ideas of the new CEO, right??
My dog is annoying me with his constant chewing of my ear-buds I have had to buy at-least four different sets of these things in the last month cause he keeps chewing them up.
So here's an update of sorts: It's blue checked button down shirt, and we can wear it unbuttoned and something underneath. That's what I'm going to do, so I need some fashion advice of what colors will go with it. There's a rumor on the fb page that the color will change every quarter(I hope this is true, because one color gets tired really quickly), I'm hoping that I can still wear my skirts and dress pants, because I only really have one pair of jeans that I can wear right now. My other jeans are from before I lost all this weight, and I have to wear a belt with them, and they're still huge on me with the belt. I'm still pissed off that: 1. I really don't have anything that will go good underneath it right now, and have to borrow my mom's solid polo's for the time being. 2. Most of my nice blouses that I enjoy wearing will go to waste for the most part, I guess I'm going to have to start volunteering more often at the Red Cross, so I have a reason wear them or wearing them whenever I go out instead of the old clothes I like to wear.
I hope this bs fades quickly...I need color in my life, plus I ALAWYS get complements on my nice blouses, which I enjoy getting.
On that note: the older employees like Maria, Lucille, Darlene, Jasmine, Asha and Daniella, are going to look stupid as hell now. I can't see them looking good in blue checked.
That's what I'm going to do, so I need some fashion advice of what colors will go with it.

*bursts through skylight*
Blue looks excellent with red, as the colors are opposites and contrast nicely. Personally, depending on the shade, I like a bit of gray or dark blue as a complement. If it's a darker blue, go with white or a light pink.
FASHION MAN AWAAAAAY!

I just spelled the word "grammar" wrong... when talking about using proper spelling and grammar. Fail. I also almost spelled "spelling" as "slepping" but I caught that one before I sent it.
My mom's watching a show called Deadly Women, and it portrays the absence of Christianity as something that contributes to violent behavior.
Unless you use British English. In which case it's the passed tense of spell. Same thing with while and whilst.
Today at work I tripped, slipped, and then fell. I managed to break the entire stack of dishes I was carrying, and I sliced my hands up. Then my arm started to swell and my boss ended up driving me to the emergency room. Nothing is broken, but I'm not supposed to work for the rest of the week.
So much for my good feeling about 2013.

Starting 2013 exhausted completely, and generally kinda mentally fucked up from extreme lack of sleep.Same. My New Year's Day was a pretty crappy day. So exhausted, I took two naps, and the second one was a real shocker - I napped from somewhere between 1:00 - 2:00 PM until 6:00 in the evening and woke up like "you gotta be fucking kidding me."

It is 36 degrees today, and 41 tomorrow.
I just found out a guy I went to school with attempted to rape several of his girlfriends and other girls in the band. He for sure molested one of them. He has 3 restraining orders. Now he is in college and has had nothing happen to him. Why? Because he has mild Aspergers syndrome. If anyone tried to do anything to him legally(like jail or only getting kicked out of school clubs) his parents can sue. The girl who was molested couldn't do anything because her parents didn't want to get sued.

The damn cat. When I'm sitting at the desk, he likes to lie on the floor right behind my chair. Naturally, the chair is the kind with wheels, and sometimes I forget he's back there, or he sometimes plants himself while I'm already preoccupied and I don't notice. I've accidentally backed over his tail/legs so many times, and yet it doesn't seem to occur to him to find somewhere a little safer to snooze.
Cait, if I was you, I would suggest you and the boything start looking for another place to stay, or you many end up killing these people sooner or later, after all these are the same ones who don't understand the concept of washing dishes, right?? By the way, you must have the patience of a saint, because I might have teared their throats out by this point, if I was in your shoes.

We're going to eventually, but we can't afford a place on our own right now. And anyway, I like our other roommate, he's one of Boything's best friends and is a really cool guy who brings us pizza and stuff from his work so we don't go completely hungry. (Employees get to take home any food that doesn't get picked up by the people who order it.) There are four people living here and 25% of them cause 90% of the problems--it's really just Housemate's wife who fucks everything up. She's so fucking stupid she won't give up smoking even though she has asthma and is usually on the sofa alternating hits off her cigarette with hits off her inhaler. I wish I was making that up. Every other day she has some sort of I-can't-breathe-related panic attack. It doesn't do anything to help MY breathing problems, either, but I know better than to suggest she quit since I know she'll totally lose her shit.
Also, Ibbs, we're okayish now. My check is much more regular and after Boything bitched Housemate out a bit, he started pitching in for groceries. I just wish the government wasn't so stupid and exploiting such an obvious loophole--just because the household earns a certain amount of money doesn't mean everyone in it is willing to share. She's more interested in getting her hair and nails done (to the tune of $300 a month) and buying McDonalds for herself than she is in making sure we don't starve.
My mum rearranged my room while I was gone and put every shred of fandom stuff in the closet as if it should be hidden. I've spent countless hours over the past two years getting it all set up like I want it. My Doctor Who stuff, Star Wars stuff, everything.

Listening is always difficult because native speakers are going to talk fast, supposedly. Native English speakers probably sound fast to those who speak a different language.

Forgive me if you've said this before, but why are you at the Hospital, Rav? You okay?
...good food at a hospital are you joking.
Reminds me of the time we went to St. Joseph's Hospital in Atlanta for some tests that needed to be run on my mama. Their cafe had a wide variety of food... but unfortunately, the sub sandwich I chose had Miracle Whip instead of Mayo... I ate it anyway as I was hungry as hell. It took most of the bloody day to find the place.
Never was a fan of Miracle Whip...
Health nuts in general piss me off. They never seem able to just keep it to themselves.

What ever happened to energy drinks just having a metric fuckton of caffeine? Shit, back in my day, Jolt was king, and its whole schtick was that it had triple the caffeine of a regular Coke. You don't need all these fancy mixtures of vitamins and herbs and shit, just jack that motherfucker up with caffeine, and make it taste good. This is not a difficult concept.
If by 'the shit' you mean 'tasted like shit', then yes!
Sorry, I really don't understand the new worldwide addiction to energy drinks. And I'm someone who gets tired very often and could definitely use a boost, especially when I have to drag my ass out of bed to work early in the morning. ('Before lunchtime' counts as 'early' to me.) I've tasted Red Bull and Rockstar but never drunk a whole one on my own. I used to occasionally drink Mountain Dew on my lunch/dinner breaks when I was working over the holidays at the store until 2am, but I don't like how that tastes either and it made me shaky and it just wasn't worth the trouble and terrible taste to stay awake. I just recite things in my head to keep me awake.
Boything used to have a bit of a caffeine addiction and would get headachy, cranky, and sick if he went more than a day or two without any, but he isn't anywhere near that bad anymore since he's made himself stop. Mostly because we can't afford to keep his addiction fed, considering he could go through an entire case of soda in two days. Before we were together, he used to have two energy drinks and a fuckton of soda a day.
I just don't get it. But that might be me.
My parents just called to yell at me because I brought a 1.5-inch Swiss Army knife to school. It's a can opener, bottle opener, toothpick, and tweezers. It's a freaking tool.
Actually I liked Jolt Cola, and I'm not even a big fan of energy drinks, I just really like any kind of cola. Though as Jeb says, coffee is where it's at. Also Mountain Dew makes me gag.
I'm one of those freaks that hates coffee. :S

OK, why the hell do MRA's make no sense when debating with each other? They don't make sense grammatically at all. I'm not talking about "HUR HUR I HATE DA WIMMINS", but they use a shit ton of big words and fancy sentences that have no point. Once you manage to decipher their arguments, they're complete shit. Then when another MRA responds, they also don't make sense. The responses are generally completely unrelated, yet the OP doesn't seem to notice and gives another unrelated response.
Am I the only one who's noticed this? I have yet to see an MRA site that isn't like this.
I shut my thumb in the car door the other day and it's still swollen and super painful and my mom keeps telling me my nail is going to fall off. On the bright side, half my nail is a really pretty blue color.It probably will, but not until the part you smashed grows out of your finger. Had that happen to my big toe after tripping over a rock. Took a good six months to fall out, and never quite grew back in normally.

I woke up very late today and forgot to take my Adderall. Now I can't take it because if I do, then I'll stay up very late at night until the cycle repeats all over again.
I guess on the plus side, skipping the Adderall made me realize how hungry I was. I've pretty much been eating any kind of fruit that's not nailed down for the past hour or so.

Assholes that think that having the gun ban lifted in Chicago, will somehow magically get rid of the gang violence that has been going on there. Now I don't support the ban, but the problem is more deeply rooted in the break down of community and when push comes to shove if any of these internet tough guys ever came face to face with a gangbanger, I'm sure they would probably go running and crying to their mothers.
^That sounds like a liiiittle bit more than a cold. Have you had a flu jab this year?I've never had a flu vaccine in my life that I'm aware of. Of course, I've never had the flu until today, either.

Adventure Time! I wonder where this season is headed: Lemongrab has come back a few times, Ice King's fanfiction is getting its own episode, and we haven't seen Flame Princess in a while...
As for Annoying Orange...Agh, it's awful. How did it even get its own spot in the lineup in the first place???
Compare that to... hell, when's the last time a cartoon has had that kind of intricacy?[/i]
The first year or two of Fairly Oddparents? You know, before Channel Chasers? (confession: that's when I stopped watching it but I'm told it went to hell after that). Back when the humor was actually intelligent for a cartoon show on Nick?
Young Justice is going to be cancelled. Seriously, a show with good animation, good storyline, good dialogue, and last but not least good voice acting is the one the network dumps.
I was in line at CVS when a woman behind me started making small talk with me about how awful CVS is as a pharmacy. It was really embarrassing to have to stand with her that entire time while the cashier obviously heard her. Then she went into how awful Obamacare was, and how it would cost her craploads of money. I was gonna wait for them to complete my prescription, but I got the hell outta there as fast as I could.

I bet she doesn't even look at the numbers on her tax forms and just checks some boxes, scribbles her signature, and ships it off.

The way atheist characters on TV seem to always get god-ified eventually. They're doing it to Dr. Brennan on Bones.

To be fair, Dr. Brennan was an unrelatable bitch with the personality of a block of wood, so not much was lost.
Though, the whole "all atheists can be converted, they just need to pick up a Babble" thing in shows and movies and shit really does get on my fucking nerves.

To be fair, Brennan from the show is much more of the rigid 'no I'm right' type of scientist.
The Brennan in the books is a lot more down to Earth and willing to see things from the other side.
The TV Brennan was never that bad to me mainly because she reminded me of Miranda Lawson when you first meet her. She's cold as fuck, rigid, not in the mood to just stroke your ego, etc.,
I'm rambling.

Do people actually buy broken consoles?I've seen them on ebay go for around $15. The tech-savvy console gamers amongst us buy them to either fix them themselves or for parts.

Wait. "Bones" is based off a novel/series of novels?
Haha, Shep, most people don't even pay attention to the credits of a show. Shit, I couldn't tell ya a quarter of the actors in any show I watch.

Sometimes watching the credits is the best part. Some shows hide easter eggs.
I mean, the man who wrote what remains one of the greatest science fiction novels of the 20th century is on NOM's board of directors. Oh how fucking far the mighty have fallen.

Really, his decline started when he wrote sequels to Ender's Game.
The second book was okay, but the third book focused on a sideplot which ultimately mattered very little, and the fourth book was just stupid.
I mean, the spinoff series involving certain major side characters from the first book was pretty good... until it started delving face-first into stupid-ville as well, such as implying that you can't be happy unless you have children, among other things. Hell, OSC's homophobia even shows a little towards the end.
At least giant cannibal babies with teeth never get involved in the storyline.
Giant cannibal babies with teeth? Where? What book? *Looks around*
Slash fiction, where a previously straight character sort of implies that gay sex/relationships are better because women are just rubbish to be with.
I love reading slash fiction, so it just annoys me if i'm enjoying a story and a character says something like:
"It's was nothing like being with a woman, all his previous girlfriends just wanted to talk about shoes and clothes all day."
I know its just crappy fanfiction, but as a woman, I can't help but be a little bit insulted by stuff like that.
Anyway, I wonder if there is a femslash equivalent.

Wait. "Bones" is based off a novel/series of novels?Yup. The novels are by Kathy Reichs. Brennan is very loosely based on herself.

It's called winter.
Ironbite-we have it every year.

To be fair, states like Georgia, where Shep is, isn't probably that bad as a place like where I am(New York). Georgia may be getting an ususually cold winter, this year. Shep just be glad you're not in NY. It's really cold here, and a week ago it looked like the planet Hoth outside my window(minus the Tauntauns, Wampas, AT-ATs and the rebel base).
People with no boundaries. I really don't want to hear about your porn preferences. I really don't want to hear you describing them in painful detail.

It can get pretty bitter-cold here (GA) at times, but still, I'm glad I live down here and not the Frozen North. I swear, I'd flash-freeze stepping off the plane up there.
To offset the comparatively mild Winters, our Summers are frequently like walking around in a thick, hot, humid hell.
Guess you gotta take the rough with the smooth wherever you go.
The Denny's where I ate yesterday was a fuckhole. I swear, everybody had 12 kids, wore camo, and had hair dragging on the ground.
In the last five days, both my running pants and a pair of pajama bottoms have gone missing. It's gone from "Man, how do I keep losing stuff?" to "Who the fuck is taking my shit?"
No me.
Ironbite-you guys didn't know my scientific name was Raptorious Lootious Explodious?
The word ''gaffe''. As someone who reads a lot about politics and follows the news so closely it's almost obsessive, I don't think there's a word that will EVER annoy me more than ''gaffe.''
Also, when people use ''-gate'' whenever there's a scandal. Monicagate, Benghazigate, Romneygate, 'You didn't build that'-gate, whatever. It stopped being clever about 40 years ago and I cringe when I hear it.

Blue eye supremacists. We were talking about how the blue eyed gene was recessive, and that if we kept breeding randomly, blue eyes might become rare. Ditto with gingers, blondes, etc. One girl who had blue eyes and blonde hair said "Well that's why I'm marrying a blue eyed man, I don't want my baby to end up with brown eyes".
I also knew another girl who would gossip about other women's looks. She was a bitch. Basically if a brown-eyed girl was prettier than her she would literally say "But at least I have blue eyes".
Idk why they care so much. I like brown eyes. I prefer them to blue eyes when it comes to beauty, but not like these people. I know brown-eyes aren't a race, but it does come across as racist to me, since only northern European people have them.

I've gotten a lot of compliments on my blue eyes. As in random people literally have walked up, told me I had pretty eyes, and left.
I personally believe this is related to me being attractive otherwise.

A girl at my school is abusing her pets and then comes and brags about how "hilarious" it is.
Here's some of the stuff she says she does:
-Shoots her cat with a BB gun so it runs off into the woods. She does actually try to hit that cat, not like she's just trying to scare it away. I'm not sure if she has hit it.
-Didn't feed her dog for a week on "accident" because of vacation.
-Actually beats her dog. No really, she talks about how she wrestles her Chihuahua and punches it. She thinks it's hilarious. And it's not like she just accidentally played too rough or something, she says that she will come home and actually tackle it and beat it.
-Doesn't feed her dog often, such as forgetting to feed it for 2 days.
-She wants her cat to run away, btw. She says she will shoot at it with the BB gun and it will come back 3 days later, and she will repeat. She jokes about how "stupid" the cat is for this. Also she's made some Chris Brown and Rihana jokes about it, which is surprisingly fitting.
I probably forgot some of the other stuff she does, but she basically brags about it a lot.
(Btw, this is the same girl who I posted about a while back in "Anything Good happen today?". Yeah that one girl who's an ass to everyone.)

My 4th fingernail does the weird thing where the middle part is thinner always. It always has a little spot where a layer of nail is missing, so that's why it's thinner. I forms a little bubble and then gets bigger. It's really annoying to me.
I just read an article about a family who lives on $14k a year, and I know damn well that some people will wave it in the face of folks who struggle to live on minimum wage and say, "See? This family can do it! You don't need no welfare!" The family bought a house for less than $40k, and they paid in cash with the savings they had from when they were earning more. Hardly anyone is going to get that good of a deal, and hardly anyone on minimum wage will be lucky enough to have those savings. Their $14k budget also didn't seem to factor in medical expenses, so I guess you're fucked if anyone gets something beyond a cold.Yeah, I know a lot of people that live on $14k. They live like this:

As a note, 14k a year'd barely cover my rent for a two bedroom apartment. Probably won't next time I sign a new lease.
Also, if you want to ditch the adds, Adfender. Works by funneling all of the webpages you load through a proxy and killing anything from a known ad provider, lists of such are updated freqently and will work with any browser. Love it.

I got a fuck no yesterday or the day before and I can't figure out what it's for. Note that I'm not annoyed by the fuck no itself, I just can't figure out what I said that someone took issue with.As someone who has over 500 of the fucking things, worrying about where each individual Fuck came from will quickly drive you insane.

Fuck Youtube. They got rid of the subscriptions page, so now I have to use that horrible main page layout to look at the videos my subscribees have uploaded.
Just... Why? Why would you remove one of the few remaining features on that site that is still halfway sensible?

I really can't stand the new layout. It used to be that when I was watching videos from a particular channel, I could scroll and see more of that person's videos while I still watched. They got rid of that, and I don't know why.
I'M BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORED!
Ironbite-Saturn left the East Coast buried in snow so no planes today.
People who demand "police accountability" to the point of wanting cops to freely allow all civilians to wander into arrests or confrontations (up to and including a guy threatening half a dozen armed officers with a knife) to film it, because they "know the risks" and it's somehow exactly like journalists covering wars, ya know.
ACT's that is all.

To whoever decided to cancel The Clone Wars:

Yeah, I think Disney has some sort of rule that they only make so many episodes of any series before retiring it. I can't exactly remember what that number is, but I remember thinking "Damn, that's not many, really", when I read about it.
If it helps, the Clone Wars has like another season's worth of episodes already made.
Repetitive Youtube ads. For the millionth time, Japanese Department of Tourism, I am not going to Okinawa. And you, Square Enix. No matter how many times you show me that same trailer that has not one iota of gameplay, I will not buy the new Tomb Raider. Don't get me wrong, I'm perfectly happy to watch Youtube ads. They do support my subscribees, after all. But damn, a little variety would be nice.Do you also get ads for Mormonism and Christian Mingle?

People who buy pets they can't care for. I'm referring to people who buy parrots, large cats, monkeys, etc... and then DON'T CARE FOR THEM.
They play with some baby monkey and think it's so cute, but then they buy one and they realize that monkeys make horrible pets. Or they buy a cockatoo because it was snuggling with them in the pet store, but then they don't care for it.
There was a recent publication how some people post vulgar and offensive language on social media and how they'd never speak like that in public or in front of the person or organization they're addressing. It was under cyber bullying. You might want to look it up. You use a lot of offensive language here and I caution you because one day you might find your FB account shut down. I caution friends. Family should not be any different. This language makes you appear less intelligent. You might want to take a look at that. It's not how you feel about your message. It's how others do. Nobody will ever listen to someone out of control. Vulgar language is out of control. You're not 12. Using foul language is what children do because they need attention. Stop it before it upsets the wrong people.
On one hand, I go for the standard "don't pick on people because of x" rule. On the other hand, some gay kids REALLY need to tone down the homo aura, cos kids are NEVER going to stop bullying. Never ever.Sometimes it's not even homo aura, some folks are just plain annoying. My roommate's boyfriend in college was the single most annoying, needy, whiny, bastard to ever sit at the foot of my bed and complain while I was trying to sleep. I think some people assumed I disliked gay people because of chasing him out of my room to get some fucking sleep. Nevermind I'd sit there and play/watch video games with my roommate. I just don't care how fucked up your life is when I'm tired and well past my 'give a shit' limit for the day.
Since we're on the topic of annoying as fuck gays, Carson Kressley is on my hit list. I just want to punch the shit of of him for being just too annoying.To be fair, he's a TV personally. I'll bet my favourite testicle that he's nothing like that in reality, he's just playing a character whenever he's in the spotlight.

Conversely, when she's under 18. It probably doesn't help that I look 2-3 years younger than I am, so sometimes they actually reciprocate the flirting, not realizing that I'm 24.

For some reason, whenever I walk into a restaurant with a bar, they offer to seat me by the bar or serve me wine because they think I'm at least 21. They usually say they made the mistake because of my demeanor.
I am annoyed that sports players get special privileges period. Special work out times? Special jackets?
Really?
They do not need nor deserve any of that.
I'm not the only one who feels this way? Praise the sun! Always felt like a freak in school, because it seemed like everyone and their aunts treated sports players better than god damned war heroes.

Nope, you are not. It's especially shitty when other extracurricular activities get cut and ignored in favour of the football team getting new uniforms or whatever. There've also been accusations pretty well everywhere of members of the various teams having their grades fudged so they can maintain the GPA required to play, even when they're unequivocally failing HARD. Or they're not punished when they do something egregiously wrong because it would effect their ability to play their sport.
So did she take the Jacket?
My response would have been: "I am just trying to be polite princess. Surprisingly not every guy wants to fuck you, despite what you've read in Cosmo"
Or "Just being polite, because let's face it you're the ugly friend" -(works especially well if she is in fact smoking hot)

My school wasn't like that, at least. I didn't even know who was on any of our teams!
So my health class starting this week has to take care of a stupid egg for about seven to eight weeks.
No, it is for our stupid abstinence only sex ed (Which our health teacher hates and actively teaches against to the best of her ability’s) it's supposed to show us that we shouldn’t have sex before marriage (good luck with that since my school to date has had 30 pregnant students)So my health class starting this week has to take care of a stupid egg for about seven to eight weeks.
Seriously? Is it supposed to teach you about the miracle of life, and how all abortions are evil and kill cute little baby animals?

This is more a case of self-inflicted annoyance.
My laptop's screen is fucked up. It does that "rolling image" thing that you see with broken film reels in old movies. At first it was only if you had the screen at a particular angle, but now it happens every few seconds regardless. Which means I need to replace a laptop that isn't even 2 years old.
The worst part is, if I'd just invested in a padded laptop case, this probably wouldn't have happened. :(

I still wonder why the world's largest eggs are laid by flightless birds, the largest being from Madagascar's extinct elephant bird. Even the largest dinosaur eggs aren't as big as elephant bird eggs.

Because flying birds need to stay light. An egg like that would weigh them down.

Minor annoyance, but what happened to Tropes.org? Every time I go there, I get asked for a password, and then it says the page failed.

It annoys me that Lilith changes her avatar so much, because it doesn't give me enough time to admire them all.

It seems that every time I'm in line at the grocery store, the person behind me will stand uncomfortably close. To the point where, if I were to turn around, I would knock them over. Why do people have to stand so close?
All of these equal sign avatars. It's great that so many people are in favour of marriage equality, but really now, this sort of thing is going to do all of jack and/or shit for promoting any sort of actual change.

Yay! Spousal abuse is funny!
Its odd how quickly people forget the Black Death was even a thing, much less that it wiped out a giant chunk of Europe. Guess I remember because one of my occasional recurring nightmares is that I, somehow, contract the plague, manage to survive, but am pretty much outcast by everyone because of the horrifying scars it left me with.Funnily enough, the plague survivors actually had it pretty good. As it turns out, killing off a third of the populations means there's suddenly a lot of opportunities for advancement.

I guess its not so much offensive as "dear god, this was NORMAL at one time." Then, I feel a mixture of disgust and contempt for people who idolize the 50s because they watched a few episodes of Leave it to Beaver.
Actually, that kinda goes for people who glorify the past in general. Now, there were good things about the 50s, just like there were about the 20s, 60s, and 80s. Those, are at least a -little- more understandable than people who are actually under the mistaken belief that what you see at a typical Ren Faire is what you'd see in the Renaissance.

I don't care if there's nudity on TV, but copious amounts of sex in a show or movie start to annoy me after awhile because it doesn't contribute much to the plot and seems to be there just to please people. Kinda like massive, unrealistic explosions in action films. I don't care if there's some sex, but if it's completely overdone, I end up wanting them to hurry up and finish so we can get back to the story. The part that matters.

I don't have a problem with that. Something like American Pie? That's cool. Not my type of movie, but since that's what it's about, then it's perfectly legit. There are plenty of shows/movies where sex isn't central to the plot, yet it's included far too much.

That reminds me of the whole taking the n-word out of Huck Finn, a couple of years ago. Forgetting that the n-word was commonly used during the period that Twain lived, and Twain was very liberal in his politics, especially in his view of civil rights.

Indeed. There's a time and a place, literally, for civil rights and for people to get cranky about such things in old literature or in my case a video game showing a time where it was not at all uncommon to have the n-word flying around along with the slurs they had for Asians at the time.
Meh. Whatever makes you happy I guess. But no need to get your feathers all in a ruffle over a game portraying a time in the United States accurately rather than tiptoeing over the issues.
I fount out today that a good portion of my male classmates (and a few of the females) are rape apologist and this angers me to no end
I'm annoyed that I have to defend myself for watching movies made by a big studio like Disney because of their (admittedly shitty) business practices. If I were to boycott every shitty movie studio I'd never be able to watch anything ever. Including most of the classic films I love so much. All of them, in fact.
I forgot to stop reading the comments on Huffington Post articles.
I read the article about Obama proposing a $100 million program to map the brain, with the hopes of using it to cure and prevent problems like autism and Alzheimer's. The comments are filled with people calling it useless, saying that it's a plot by the Democrats to make money (somehow), and that it's a pipe dream and everyone should give up because it's unimportant anyway.

You're not the only one on here that hates Disney, have you heard that they're pulling the plug on LucasArts and are cancelling a shit ton of upcoming games.

Name me one thing LucasArts has done in the past 10 years that was a critical success?
Ironbite-other then Force Unleashed.
Didn't LucasArts have something to do with KoTOR and KoTORII? I thought those were hella good games. Or were they only Bioware with license from LucasArts/Film?
Today a shithead in my class tried to make the case that fetuses that test positive for diseases that reduce their lifespan and/or quality of life should be brought to term anyway. His argument was, "Well, if you had a disease and your parents aborted you then you wouldn't even be able to experience life right now!" Well, if my parents aborted me then I wouldn't have any feelings about being aborted because I wouldn't fucking exist in the first place.

I remember hearing somwhere that in medieval times people would try to baptize fetuses by squirting water up the mother's vagina.
That sounds uncomfortable...
Even if it's unhealthy it's probably refreshing for someone who lives in those times, due to their lack of hygiene and stuff.

Nothing quite as uncomfortable as the acid levels of your vagina being changed.
My cousin is a moron. She just bought eight baby ducks and has no idea how to care for them. Does she understand what it's going to be like when they grow up? Eight ducks there, in her yard. Jesus christ.

$100 says that she'll get tired of them and either she's going to set them lose at some pond, or give them to the local animal shelter. Sadly, this very common around this time of year.

I'm almost certain she will, which is why it pisses me off. And she said she bought them out of guilt, and because her two-year-old daughter thought they were cute. Because you leave all the major decisions to the toddler. Good thinking.
When I was a kid I was bought a duck for Easter once. He lived a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time before a fox got him. I cried when I found that out. And I was an adult. I am not ashamed. He was a nice duck.
Guess that wasn't an annoying post... more confession material.

Ducks are aggressive. When they get older they will probably mug her daughter for crackers.

How nice are they when you raise them? Like if you raised one baby duck alone. Do you need the pond?
That's the other thing bugging me about it. My cousin doesn't have much money, and she doesn't have a pond or anything she could use to provide all those ducks adequate water to keep them happy.
If she released them in the wild, would they be alright on their own? I have no clue if them being in the hands of humans from a young age would impair their instincts to the point of them not surviving.

No they would probably die since they don't have a mother, and even if they were raised to adulthood by her they wouldn't know how to survive. Do not do that.

Oh, and as far as how nice he was... well... he would sit next to me on the porch swing and I'd pet him and he'd make little quacks and softly nibble at my hair and clothes.

I mean, he could still eat him technically.
I was just thinking at least Sleepy's cousin will have a nice Christmas lunch of roast duck.
The deer in my area are really slow, on the cab ride home, this deer ran out and stood in the middle of road for at least a minute, just staring at the cab.

Many complaints have been issued about odor. I do not mean just food. People have complained that students have major BO and it makes it very difficult to concentrate and do work. You would not go to work smelling like a garbage can so don't come to the lab smelling like one. This is your job.
If you smell, you may be called out in public on it. Take a shower before coming to work.
I previously posted about my friend's roommate who is absolutely disgusting. He admitted to not washing his hands after jerking off, he hasn't washed his jacket in several months and constantly wipes his mouth on it when he eats, he doesn't bathe or clean his room, etc.
It's gotten so bad that the department chair just issued this email to comp sci students:QuoteMany complaints have been issued about odor. I do not mean just food.

I don't see how some people can't take a shower/bath for days at a time...It bugs me if I go more than a day without showering or taking a bath.

I dunno how people do it. I start to feel nasty if I haven't showered for a day. Plus my hair looks and feels all oily, and it's quite noticeable since my hair is lighter.

I really, really hate they way some people pluralise "guys". It's already a plural, "guyses" makes no fucking sense.Yes. Same with people saying "bestest" instead of "best", and yes, people still do that after grade two. Because you guyses are my bestest friends!
I know it's trivial but sometimes it's the trivial things that inexplicably piss you off.

Also some jackass sent me message saying that libertarian socialism is an oxymoron, yeah I don't think you know that the term "libertarian" was first used to describe it in a political sense, was by French anarcho-communists in the mid 1800's, to describe themselves but whatever, I really don't feel like debating political terms on OK Cupid, just because you buy into the modern perverted version of Libertarianism.
I had a dream about this cuddly rooster I met in real life once. It just sat in my lap and cuddled with me again. Then I woke up, and he was gone... :'(I had a dream like that, but with a dragon that I'd created with a lab I had in my closet. I distinctly remember explaining to a friend that the genes that made the dragon docile were the same ones that inhibited growth, keeping it around the size of a German shepherd. Then I took a nap with it curled up next to me and woke up cuddling my pillow. Worst dream ever (and I usually die in my dreams).
Yeah, I have issues with anything touching my face. When the doctor held my eye open for drops, she was seriously pinching my cheek and I nearly flipped my lid. Not everyone has impermeable leather skin, dude.

That teacher who I said probably didn't understand the difference between China, Korea, and Japan is still dumb...
She said that the "Oriental" workers have always been hated, since during strikes for better pay, they would continue to work. Now that doesn't really sound bad, but then she talked about how her husband worked for a packaging company for Sony, and that the Japanese would send the boxes back "for no reason... which makes you think... do they mean it as a threat? Like they think American workers are dumb and lazy?"

I didn't know people still used the term "Oriental" other than my mom, though she's never used it in a negative way, has always used it to express how much she finds Asians to be cute, especially little kids and babies.

I've never worked with any, but I can't think of the last time I saw a child actor in a film who was both aweful and incredibly annoying. I'm sure there are some that are talented and not irritating but they seem to be rare.
BTW I'm not including teenagers, there are some talented teens who don't piss me off that I could actually name.
It is just how society works, people must get over it, the best thing to do if you are being bullied is keep quiet, don't tell anyone about it and deal with it....it's one of the harsh truths of life, some of us have personalities where we ask to be bullied, it's in our genetics, people must have the freedom to bully others of they wish, it doesn't make them bad people

Who wants to bet this defect wonders why things like Columbine happen?
I should point out that Harris and Klebold weren't bullied as much as people tend to think they were; in fact, they were often the bullies themselves. The problem was that both of them were violent lunatics who literally viewed themselves as "the gods" according to one of Harris's journals who were also good at lying to people to look like they WEREN'T violent lunatics. And when they made a video for a school project that involved them shooting students in their school and swearing and making violent threats to the camera, they were COMMENDED for it by the teacher.
That's not to say that some bullied kids don't respond to the stress through murder. Just that the most famous pair of school shooters weren't victimized outcasts, but rather a pair of Grade A nutjobs that everyone ignored until they showed up with guns.

Yeah, the shooter at my school was a schizophrenic who may or may not have gone off his meds (and thought he was a cool, badass 'gangsta' when he was on them) and had a grudge against the victim.
Want to know the kicker? It happened shortly after Rachel's Challenge came and did their little song and dance about how being nice will stop deranged people from causing mayhem. It won't! Being aware of who is actually a threat to your school's safety will (people always seems to think 'teen trouble' is coming from some subculture or other instead of from the actual delinquents, which has never made sense to me).

And it will probably always be that way. I live in CO and it annoys, angers, and saddens me that it seems like my state has been victimized by mass murderers more times than anywhere else in the nation, and probably the world. It's a great place to live otherwise, but I just hate living in a place that's so tainted and marred by tragedy and violence.

With that said you can find "regular work blouses" on places like Amazon. For less than $40.

I would, but I have to try everything on since women's sizes are never standard, and it'd be too much of a hassle to return it each time.
I hate the tinsel dragons and shimmer dragons for ruining the economy of Dragon Cave.
However, I think TJ's move to create Soulpeace dragons as hybrids between Daydream and White dragons, which were becoming painfully uncommon, was genius.

I thought the shimmer dragons were absolutely gorgeous and want one so bad, along with the golden wyvern and blusang lindwurms, which I can never seem to get a hold of. And I was kind of shocked when I went on the Dragon Cave wiki and saw that the white and black dragons were now considered uncommon.

And apparently it's not illegal to refuse to pay for a service if you feel it wasn't actually performed as advertised. But that doesn't stop me being furious at losing several hundred dollars from my paycheck AND a week spent at this woman's house.
It's not really a question of whether it is illegal or legal, but rather a question of whether you have a good contractual claim for services rendered. Presumably she says they were rendered lower than a standard specified in the contract and she may have some offsetting claim, however the services still had value.
How much money are we talking about?
I don't know about New York City but I am willing to bet there is either a low cost tribunal, or a small claims court, which you could take the dispute too and represent yourself for not much money.
Although often it is better to chalk these things up to experience. Also what is the nature of your employment contract? Are you employed at an hourly wage by your boss or essentially paid commission? Becuase he perhaps should be paying you anyway regardless of whether he gets the money from his client.

Flannel's the best. Or really any kind of thick long sleeve button up shirt. Boots and blue jeans look great too, especially on girls. But that's pretty much 100% my opinion. Just not a big fan of the kind of stuff Sleepy was describing (sparkly frilly stuff). I like people who dress like they're going to go hiking all the time.

Don't make me show up to your house and blast 'Once In A Lifetime' at 2 in the morning and do it at 180 decibels.
My boobs keep growing. I don't know why. I've LOST weight and I'm certainly not pregnant, and I'm much too old to still be developing. I was a C-cup when I moved here over the summer and today I went and bought a DD-cup bra that's the first one I've had in months that fits me properly.
Which means I own exactly one bra right now that actually fits, two that sort-of fit but that I keep popping out of, and a whole bunch that are way too tight and cannot contain my apparent megatits.

My neck has been sore all day. I don't know what I did in my sleep last night, and I felt fine when I woke up. But as soon as I got out of bed, it popped and started throbbing. I'm still breathing so it's nothing serious, but I have a feeling the next two nights will be very rough nights for sleep.

1. About the the Thor 2 trailer, and this thing with all the girls going crazy over Loki's hair. Now don't get me wrong, I'll like fuck Loki(Tom Hiddleston) too, but I don't get the shit with the girls going nuts over his hair.

Also guys who post pictures of their abs on dating sites, it comes off, to me at least, as being an attention whore.Known fact about men: shirtless pictures circulating around the internet = undatable.
Only when it's on a dating site, really. There are plenty of people I've seen shirtless that I'm damn sure are nice people and datable.
Then again I also know you're taking the piss.
Eccleston is in Thor 2? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.1. About the the Thor 2 trailer, and this thing with all the girls going crazy over Loki's hair. Now don't get me wrong, I'll like fuck Loki(Tom Hiddleston) too, but I don't get the shit with the girls going nuts over his hair.

He's playing Malekith (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malekith_the_Accursed).
Guy that I'm chatting with, won't let me go to bed...I understand you want to date me or whatever, I just want to go the fuck to sleep. I don't want sexy talk, or a million questions, just want sleep, damn it.
Seriously?Yes, I'm serious, this really pisses me off, I give them a month to stop giving the crappy hours, if not I'm taking my stuff elsewhere, mainly Macy's. Sure I'll have to dress like some emo kid, with their obsession of black, but hey if they'll give me hours, I'll stay...
Ironbite-I am so so sorry.

There is that. I'm really sorry it's not working out for you at JC Penny's. Is there anyone lower then you on the totem pole getting more hours?

When a classmate messages me, "Man, I'm having so much trouble with this homework. If only I'd paid attention in our C++ class like you did. You're so lucky."It's C++, someone out there has written a dissertation on the topic. Find it, read it, do your damn homework.
No, jackhole, I'm not giving you answers.
She was quite a bitch wasn't she? ;D My sister has a little dog and it just does nothing but bark as well. I guess that is why I prefer cats over dogs.

I dislocated or sprained my shoulder yesterday after a FIFTY-POUND MASTIFF PUPPY wouldn't get up off the lawn and made me pick him up. He is sixteen weeks old. He is going to be a horse.
Also I have been coughing all night after spending all day inhaling dandelion fluff. I have not slept and I will be a miserable person all day.
Dogs LOVE dandelion fluff! I don't get it! Maybe it looks interesting or tasty to them? Hank ate dandelion fluff yesterday, or tried to, and then wasn't at all sure what happened when it dissipated.
This dog is unusually big even for a mastiff. His parents were 150 and 200 pounds, so he's going to be huge. He's still unmistakably a puppy--he still even has that little pointy puppy head they all have for the first six months--but he weighs fifty pounds and he's huge. His paws alone are bigger than both my hands together. This is a picture of Hank (the dog) and Boything:
(http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f243/punchbug/hankthedog_zps1cd3071a.jpg)
For comparison's sake, Boything is five and a half foot tall and weighs about 220 pounds. And this was about two weeks ago, and because Hank is so young he's growing really fast, so he was probably five or ten pounds lighter. He's pretty well-behaved for how young he is. He's just still a baby--but a baby that weighs probably fifty pounds. I like to call him 'fifty pounds of ears and feet' because he's really pretty much all ears and paws.
I adore him. He's lovely. One of my favourite doggies. But he's increasingly hard to, yanno, pick up. At least he can manage the stairs now. He used to be so ungainly (because of those huge paws) that he couldn't even negotiate steps and had to be carried. He was a hell of a lot smaller then.
He just gets puppy chow when I'm there. He's a growing boy so he's allowed to have as much as he wants. Eventually I'm sure they're gonna have to switch him to a healthy, wholesome diet of kindergarteners or whole sheep or something.It amazing how much those things'll eat. My Aunt has a Great Dane puppy and the amount of food he eats is frankly ridiculous, even considering he's the size of a small horse.
Lol is used way too much, its starting to become a freakin full stop.i kno lol.
"hi how are you, lol"
"im good lol"

1. Mom complaining about the fact that I take my dog out for his walk, which just around the block, in my pjs.

Ironbite-how I avoid getting into fights.
You know Art they have these things called pet carriers. Try using one next timeI was driving down the driveway and spotted the cat mere meters from the house (he's a ragdoll cat, those things have little to no sense of direction). Since there was no pet carrier already in the car, my options were a tad limited on that front.
When people laugh at inappropriate times in the theater. Or when I'm watching a show.Went to the first night the movie Death Sentence came out. There was this gaggle of stoned chicks giggling every single time something happened.

Back in December, I ordered two things online, those being the DVD of To Boldly Flee, and the Skyrim soundtrack. To date, neither of them have gotten here, and at this point I don't know what to do about it.
I'm I gonna have to update my "Sleepy's Medical Mysteries" file aren't I?
I keep waking up with dime-sized bites on my arms, and I don't know what they're from. They itch like a standard mosquito bite, perhaps a bit less, but they look much different. They don't resemble any bite I've ever seen, and I've compared them to photos of bed bug bites just to be sure. Even stranger, they disappear after a few hours, or a day at most. Anyone know what the hell that could be?
That Eskimo-Looking guy (I think his name is Lunari, or Runari... something like that) really rakes it in. Should give you a cut for being an employee (of sorts).Zunari, actually, and yeah. Especially so on my run. It took me a while to realise that I actually had to buy it before it would let me bid on something else. So for a while I was just bidding 950 rupees at the start of the auctions and letting some moron end up paying around 980 for a bloody joy pendant. Did that about three times before I figured what you bid on isn't random, and I should probably just buy the damn thing.
Maybe chiggers or thrips? Do you leave the windows open at night?
I've got an obnoxious, self-righteous pothead on my FB that - as far as I can tell - likes to get high and then throw a hissy fit about how poor potheads are so persecuted.
Neighbors are blasting music...yeah it's not like I'm trying to watch a movie or anything like that...Wait until they're asleep and spraypaint "Your music is bad and you should feel bad" on every last surface of their house. Just make sure it can't be traced back to you and it should get the point across quite nicely.
The weather, it has gone from being nice to being rather chilly, the last couple of days.
My prescription was supposed to contain 60 pills, but it only had 30. I went to the drug store and explained this to the pharmacist, and he turned around and dumped 30 more pills in the bottle. I'm glad there was no hassle, but is it really that easy to obtain more pills? I'll never abuse prescription drugs, but if that's the standard procedure for such a thing, then it's pretty freaking easy for other people to abuse them.

This damn network has a two hour time-limit. I keep having to log in every two hours.That's always fun. A while back the uni network went down and the backup would want you to log in again every 40 minutes. Boy, was that a fucking barrel of laughs.
I'm in-patient. I'm not going anywhere after only two hours. Stop that. I want to watch Doctor Who.
Cops who reply to questions about whether or not something is a crime with "Google it."
People who treat waiters like shit. Seriously, I'd love to see the people who do that survive as a waiter for even a few days. The bitches at an adjacent table forced our waitress to give them all kinds of special treatment, complained excessively about their food and drinks, and got free stuff out of it. Also said stuff like "Do your fucking job" as the waitress walked away.
That awkward moment when you're fapping and the repairman decides to show up. It's all porny up in here.Awkward? Has porn taught you nothing about what to do when a trademan shows up?

I failed a test because of one tiny-yet-arguably-very-important mistake.

OMG! Ponies are becoming humans for a movie! Everybody bitch and wine about how it's going to be just a stupid teen drama and how it's so hyper offensive!
The fact that the movie will be impossible to follow because the dialogue will be drowned out by the deafening cheers of a legion of grown men delighting over their favorite ponies finally being blessed with canonized tits and miniskirts isn't the only reason a My Little Pony movie is a disaster waiting to happen.
Picture the three key groups of MLP fans: little girls, "bronies" (i.e., adult male aficionados of the show), and furries. Now, picture all of those people intermixing in the same dark movie theater. It's tantamount to tossing kids into a haunted house full of loud, self-important 20-somethings and terrifying sexual fetishists.

That's the thing, I don't even understand how this whole Yahoo is going to get rid of the fandom and porn blogs shit even got started. It just popped up overnight, and it's only the fandom porn that people flipping out about. Not the softcore/hardcore porn stuff, I have a online buddy that has a S&M porn blog on tumblr, and haven't heard her flip her shit once.

I'm getting really sick of hearing about Loki. It's like a popular movie comes out and suddenly all the annoying fantwats latch on to one character for months on end.
I just don't understand people.
And to clarify, Draco In Leather Pants (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DracoInLeatherPants) is one of my Pet Peeve Tropes and this shit has caused me to hate villainous characters regardless of their moral ambiguity because often their fans are vocal and obnoxious.Even worse is how a real-life variant spawned with the Free Jahar crowd.

Made the mistake of reading Youtube comments. Apparently, real punk bands don't advocate a "liberal agenda". I'm sorry, but is there even such a thing as a conservative punk band?
So, as I may have mentioned, I got a new computer of doom a few months ago. I recently beat Mass Effect 1 on it, so I went to play Mass Effect 2.
However, when I tried to install the DLC, it said that ME2 wasn't installed.
The good news is that EA actually has a pretty good customer support system. The guy was able to identify my problem. The bad news is that since Origin came out, all DLC is tied in to Origin, so I can't install it to Steam. Thankfully, I can at least redeem my Steam purchase code on Origin... but now I'm stuck using Origin for ME2.
Oh, well.

I hear jokes about this a lot but am I the only person who this has never happened to? Excluding when I've had diarrhea, but illness doesn't count.
Am I the only one who's annoyed by live music? It sounds so much worse and leaves me very disappointed with a band I normally love. I honestly can't think of any I've heard that sounded decent enough to listen to as an alternative to the non-live version. Granted, I obviously haven't heard hundreds of live bands, but still.No, you aren't the only one. I can't really think of anything that could possibly justify the high price of concert tickets when I get the same music in much better quality for free (and legally) on Youtube.

Dave Matthews sounds good live. Though I think the price of tickets is more for the experience.

I've seen bands that put on better live shows than the album content. Collective Soul, for instance, is a band I've seen about half a dozen times so far. They consistently sound better than the album when they play live, and tend to add a harder sound to their stuff at concerts.
And Rush......just go to a Rush concert.

Actually, I did see a Rush concert on TV, and they sounded consistently good. I'm not much of a Rush fan, but at least they have talent.

In related news, people blaming HBO for the events in Game of Thrones. There are books out there, people. They kind of have to follow the plot.

Talk of Game of Thrones has reminded me of something that annoys me. Being an extra in it has a very irritating downside - I hate reading rumours and people specualting about the show when I know the truth but I can't say anything because if I do, and the leak comes back to me, I can say "goodbye" to being on the show again and "hello" to a breach of contract law suit. It's reeeeally bloody fustrating not being able to just say, "You're all talking shit! This is what's really going to happen..."
It also has another downside - major spoilers :(
This post was only 10% an excuse for me re-mention the fact that I'm in Game of Thrones, the remaining 90% was genuinley about fustration with rumours lol.

Quite a few leaks come from the crew I suspect, and some other "leaks" I'd bet money are planned by HBO themselves.
Some leaks in the past came from the landowners of the locations we film in. Those are quite funny to read, coz they very obviously have never watched the show and have no idea what's going on or know anything about the show at all.
Also one of the leaked set photo's of the ship (this one http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/31600000/Game-of-Thrones-Season-3-Set-Photo-game-of-thrones-31687874-600-450.jpg (http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/31600000/Game-of-Thrones-Season-3-Set-Photo-game-of-thrones-31687874-600-450.jpg)) probably came from one of the several houses that over look that set. They didn't put much effort into hiding that thing, you'd think with the their budget they could afford a fence. The Harenhal set is there too if anyone cares.

Assuming you've got good writers, eight seasons is a pretty optimal as far as running time goes. Enough to get the most you possibly can out of a show before ideas run out and it goes the way of The Simpsons.I'm now completely caught up with Dexter. Now I have to wait until the end of the month for season 8 to start. Sigh.

And thus we have the reason I'd much prefer to write for movie series and games. The latter most especially. Much, much easier to create a cohesive narrative.

Oh, and the physically demanding stuff? People watching movies and TV forget how many takes are done. You need multiple angles, so even if everyone manages to get everything right on take 1, you're still doing it 4 or 5 more times at a minimum. You won't enjoy doing a crowd scatter from gunfire, and think twice before signing on for a fight scene if you're not up to doing it over and over and over and over until you're at risk of pulling a muscle. And then you get paid $100 for it. If that much.
Sounds like fame is more of a burden than reward...

I wonder how much hate mail he gets. I've read things about the actresses that portray both Cersei, and Melisandre, and the actor who portrays Theon Greyjoy getting hate mail and such.
I kinda feel sorry for the kid who's playing Joffrey on Game of Thrones.
Ironbite-the fuck is he gonna do with his career after GoT ends?
I've heard that Tom Felton actually wouldn't mind playing villains for the rest of his career.
TwitterFace sounds like it could be the name of a pigeon in a comic by Tom Siddell.
You know what's fun? Waking up with diarrhoea. I'm barely even awake and already the toilet bowl looks like someone threw a pot of gravy in its general direction.
At least the smell has finally dissipated.

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AT ALL.

Going by doctor's charts I am morbidly obese. I delivered normally with my previous children AND had no trouble finding out gender. Might I suggest bitch slapping the next person to say shit and blaming it on pregnancy hormones?
According to my mom, when she was pregnant with my older sister (her first kid), her doctor was really obese and also had a habit of telling the pregnant women under his care that they needed to lose weight, including my mom.

That's incredibly annoying. I hope your mother and sister were lucky enough to end up with a different doctor.
Here in Japan, the doctors seem to want the babies to be as small as possible to make the birth "easier" for the mothers. The doctors often tell even people who are thin to lose some weight so that the baby is smaller. :/ Although this is anecdotal evidence and doesn't mean much in the long run, everyone I know who has given birth here has pretty much been told either to lose weight or to make sure only to gain as few kilos as possible.
That doctor also told me to start wrapping my belly to ensure that the baby doesn't get very big. When both my mother-in-law and I told him that we didn't think that was necessary, he scolded my mother-in-law by saying, "It's Japanese tradition and you should make her do it."
No, he was her doctor for that pregnancy. I think she said that he was even the reason my sister got stuck and had to be pulled out with forceps; according to her, he told her to push too early. She did say that the doctor she went to for her next pregnancy (me) was her favorite one.
I once read an article someone wrote about their stay in Japan and the obsession with weight loss over there. They described how they, and others they've talked to, could go in for anything and the doctor would almost always bring up weight and how losing more would help remedy the problem they were having, no matter what it was. And what you said about stomach wrapping reminded me about Chinese foot binding.

.... WAT. No, babies need to be a certain size to be healthy.
I keep getting stuck behind school buses on the way to work, and it's rather irritating. Obviously they're a necessity, but when it's a one-lane road with a speed limit of 50 mph and there's a 30-car backup, you know there's a problem.

When people reblog pictures of Hitler talking to Eva Braun or playing with children or something and say, "See? He's a human with fee-fees too!" Don't they realize they've fallen for the oldest trick in the propagandist's playbook?
When people reblog pictures of Hitler talking to Eva Braun or playing with children or something and say, "See? He's a human with fee-fees too!" Don't they realize they've fallen for the oldest trick in the propagandist's playbook?
I think there's some value in recognizing that men like Hitler are "humans with fee-fees too" in order to understand that real-world evil is more frequently carried out by charming, seemingly-normal people, rather than the twirly mustached villains of comics and cartoons who run around, kicking dogs and mistreating children. None of that expunges or mitigates Hitler's crimes, of course, but caricaturing historic villains as being pure evil can easily result in society mistakenly assuming that the capability to do horrific things will be reflected in all facets of an individual's personality, relationships and their life, thus dismissing potential warning signs because "He seemed like such a nice guy!"

I have to agree. I was one of those people who reblogged about him being an actual human. It's too easy to dismiss it because of facades people put on.
After all, Himmler looks like a school teacher but helped orchestrate the Holocaust, too.

I get that, I'm talking about the kind of commentary that is a little too defensive of him as a politician and his policies. i.e., "But the Treaty of Versailles fucked over his nation! He just wanted to protect it!" He. Fucking. Murdered. Millions. Nothing justifies that.They were people, who did horrible things. Not some force of elemental evil. Being people does not however make them GOOD people, worthy of any form of respect, kindness, or any form of decency. Not after what they had done. Which I think sews up the two sideish things we have going in here.

Queen (the band) annoys me a lot more than it should. I always have to change radio stations if a song of theirs is playing.omg wow
While we're on the subject, I find the Beatles to be horribly overrated. Their music alright for what it is, but not even close to what people seem to think it is, quality wise.

This. The music is decent and I have no problem with people liking it, but they're not the music prodigies some people make them out to be.

What the fuck, dad? Did you seriously leave the door open again last night to let the mice in while you were huffing pot?
I know it's been awhile, but how they moved the reblogging, edit, and liking functions to the bottom, really annoys me. Also I went to a nearby cemetery today, and someone actually placed a Ron Paul sign on someone's grave. If someone ever did that to my grave, even if I did support him, my corpse would reanimate and I'll go and smack them upside their heads. Sorry, but placing political sign on someone's grave seems to be tacky and in bad taste.

Agreed. On both counts.
On the tumblr thing tho at least it means if you're reading a long post and want to reblog it you don't have to scroll back up.
So I was at Sears the other day with someone because we were killing some time before going somewhere that was nearby to the store. I wound up buying a pair of shorts and the person I was with bought a pair of jeans. So we go to checkout and there's this hispanic family (yes this is important to the story) in the middle of checking out at the only currently open register at the time in that area of the store. The kid working the register is this real timid feminine kid (I'm guessing in his late teens?).
So the person I'm with gets in line behind the family, and I get in line behind him. The family is taking a little while because they're returning a few things, and then doing another transaction to get a gift receipt for something else, not that either of us really cared. While we're waiting this middle aged guy dressed in a button up shirt with his gold chain showing throws some stuff down on the counter on the other side. WHILE the cashier is still ringing up the family, he starts asking the cashier questions about the shoes he wants to return and the shirts he wants to exchange. Then he stands there while the cashier starts to finish ringing up the family.
While he's waiting, his phone rings. He's being a complete pig while talking on the phone. Burping, scratching himself, talking OBNOXIOUSLY loud. Then he tells the person on the other end that he's trying to exchange some stuff but is stuck in line, and I QUOTE, "because of these freaking Puerto Ricans trying to get 10% off of a fucking 10 dollar purchase". I opened my mouth to say something, but decided to just ignore him since he didn't deserve even my negative attention.
Well, the family finishes up and leaves, and by this time, there's even ANOTHER person in line behind me. Now the person I'm with starts getting rung up, because it's BLATANTLY obvious that he's next in line. The guy then starts yelling at this poor cashier, asking why he "skipped" him. The person I'm with pipes up with "Um, you do realize there's a line?", to which he responds "Well I started a new line. I've got places to go. I'm a rolling stone."
At that point he's really starting to get on my nerves. So he sits there scowling for a bit, and then starts getting his stuff ready to scan. Then since I'm next in line I start getting rung up. At this point he slams his stuff down and starts basically having a hissy fit. By then I couldn't stay quiet any longer. So I looked over and told him that maybe if he wasn't such an impatient loudmouth racist asshole and actually got in line, that he might actually get rung up.
His response? He threw his shirts, both the ones he was returning and the ones he wanted across to the other part of the counter, and stormed away stomping with the shoes, giving all of us dirty looks as he left. The cashier apologized and we told him he did nothing wrong. I even told him about how I'm a retail manager, and told him that I was actually very impressed with the way he handled that guy and how he kept his cool. I don't know what happened after that because we had to leave, but I felt like standing near there looking at other stuff. Why? With that guy I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he complained to a manager and started completely making shit up. I just hope that kid didn't get any more problems from that asshole.

I actually like the new Tumblr edit for that very reason, at least for the dashboard. It would have been better to leave the buttons on top in the queue. Reordering posts is a bit of a pain in the ass with the new system.

I'm pretty sure I argued myself into supporting license-less gun ownership on the way to work last night.
I really don't know.

California, right?
Understandable. Politicians there tend to be downright terrified of guns and do everything they can to keep them from getting on the streets, all while doing absolutely nothing effective.
There was a group of racist fuckwits at Wendy's today, treating the black guy behind the counter like utter shit.

Changed over to Chrome the other day and i've only just realised that the spell check is in American English.I've got the same problem with Firefox. I've got an add on to change it to Australian English, but it hasn't worked properly for months. Those red lines under words that are indeed spelled correctly is really giving me the shits.
It was driving me fucking crazy, because I kept having words that were spelt correctly come up with red squiggles and I couldn't work out what was wrong with my spelling. Thought my brain had broken. :D

That's why you need that pincer contraption people use to get things from high shelves.
As for Chrome, you can fiddle with the settings to change the languages. Even a custom spelling dictionary.

Words that Microsoft Office dictionary doesn't know:
- My last name (It's Italian)
- Wicca
- Judgement (both this spelling and judgment are correct)
- O'Connor (as in Flannery)
- Dimetrodon (I thought this was a pretty well-known prehistoric lizard)
I have a pretty common (or at least, not unusual) last name, with probably the most common spelling of it. A lot of spell checkers STILL don't recognize it.You mean your last name isn't "E"?
More Bullshit from my mom this morning. She flips out on me because I didn't say hi to my dog this morning, when I first got out to take him up for the first time. I never say hi to him, you know why, because I only care about going to the bathroom, taking him out to go to the bathroom, giving him fresh water and going back to bed, sorry that I'm not singing show tunes.

I get sunburnt (usually even sun poisoning [wiki it]) being outside for more than a few minutes in bright sunlight. I think I may be a creature of the night.
Blah.
I'm actually a pretty stereotypical geek.
Also I'm so pale that I sunburn like a vampire. So I might be part vamp, too.

My left jaw joint hurts. The pain fades a lot during the day, but gets a lot a worse when I first wake up, to the point where I can feel it even if I don't move my jaw. My grandma thinks I might be grinding my teeth in my sleep.

The roof of my mouth still hurts from last night when I burnt it eating a hot dog.
Speaking of messed-up jaws, if I open my mouth wide enough (for instance, if I yawn) sometimes my right jaw joint will lock in place and I won't be able to close my mouth unless I basically punch my jaw back into place. One time it got stuck for an hour before I could fix it. Freaked me the hell out.

If it keeps doing that, or gets worse, you might want to get it looked at. Sometimes a tendon or ligament needs tightening, or something's shifted that things aren't sitting square in place anymore.
My red highlights are seriously starting to fade, and I have to wait at least a month to get them redone(one day I need to go full on ginger).My best friend had the same problem, due to going swimming (chlorine filled pool) daily. At this point, her black and red Omega hair is now just light brown.
Last time I had it done was in April/May, so it's been awhile. The special shampoo I use helps in making it last. It's just that I'm trying my best to save money for the Comic Con I'm going to in October.Ahh, okay. My black hair has gone back to brown and I just haven't had the money to get black. She's just been too forgetful to get hers fixed, plus realized it would just get screwed up again.
Lock jaw is something you shouldn't wait to get it looked at... if it gets too bad you may end up not being able to eat or speak.
That happens to me too. I went to doctor a long time a go but all she did was give me some instructions for excercising my jaw.Speaking of messed-up jaws, if I open my mouth wide enough (for instance, if I yawn) sometimes my right jaw joint will lock in place and I won't be able to close my mouth unless I basically punch my jaw back into place.

If it's been around since your childhood and it's stayed the same, then unless it gets to being a real problem for you, I don't think it's indicative of anything immediately dangerous like lockjaw (tetanus), which is caused by a microbe. Could be a genetic quirk in your jaw that makes it not quite as tight as the average person.Lock jaw is something you shouldn't wait to get it looked at... if it gets too bad you may end up not being able to eat or speak.
Holy crap, seriously? I've had this problem since I was a little kid. It's always kinda stayed the same: annoying, but manageable. That's probably good advice regardless, though.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knohDiCp9fgI'm calling fake on that one. The guy screams like a stuck pig just from turning around and seeing the guy with the camera walk through the doorway. He didn't even get particularly close or yell "boo". Even the most timid people in the world aren't that jumpy.
Yep, I know that bit of ignorance very well. BOO! type stuff doesn't work on fear so much as surprise, and the body's reaction to a sudden stimulus. Fear takes a while to cultivate, as you're working more with the brain's more intellectual regions. Or rather working *against*, really.
To me, I think jump scares are the only way to scare people at this point, because we're desensitized to horror. It's not scary. When I was a kid, I was scared of Night of the Living Dead. Now it's funny, and I love zombies. You know what changed? I'm not a kid anymore. The horror movies you saw when you were young scared you because you were a kid. Now that you're grown up, you're not going to be scared by a screen.Yep, I know that bit of ignorance very well.

Yeah, that's why I despise jump scares in film. They're cheap ways to get a raised heart rate out of someone. They require absolutely zero skill to make; literally a toddler can perform them.
Unfortunately, modern horror seems to think that jump scares are THE way to scare people. They don't make people fearful or nervous of anything on camera. They make them fearful of the movie screaming in their face again.
Also, I will admit to finding that above video funny. Mostly because of how the guy has the exact same reaction every single time.

He didn't even get particularly close or yell "boo". Even the most timid people in the world aren't that jumpy.
Most of my scares, fears, and creep-outs come from video games like the Silent Hill series or games like Fatal Frame. In Silent Hill, the earlier ones anyway, there was always this tension that rose and fell and sometimes you dreaded doing something as simple as open a door or pull a switch. Can hear things in the dark or fog, but can't see them.

This is generally how good horror works. One of the reasons I like Amnesia as a horror game so much is that it doesn't just fling jump scares and monster closets at you like Cry of Fear. It keeps you on edge by implying "This is the corner where something is going to happen!" and then either nothing happens or it was something relatively benign. If I remember correctly, it not only takes quite a while to see a monster, but the first one you see is damn far away. But it still ends up freaking you out because he's just there when he wasn't before.
Proper horror makes you scared of your own imagination more than what's on the screen. Nothing will ever terrify anyone as much as what their mind invents as possibilities. This is why you stick to ambiguity, Nothing Is Scarier, and unseen sounds or glimpses of things and people in the background.
I will say that from my experience at Halloween Horror Nights, people can be terrified of the tiniest thing. As a scareactor, I seriously don't need to do much more than start walking at some people to get them to go "NOPE" and run for the hills. I've literally caused people to sprint, trip, and faceplant simply by standing in their path when they turned around, or following them down the street while still staying about 20 yards behind them the whole time.That sounds like an awesome job.

I've been to Halloween Horror Nights a few times when I was a preteen or in my early teens. Nothing legitimately was scary to me, jump scares worked as usual, though. Perhaps it was because at that point I was desensitised to violence and gore, or because my general reaction to horror movies is to root for the villain. Still, my favorite part was that they don't close the Mummy rollercoaster. I've always been a huge fan of it, but the line is evil. Utterly, sadistically, evil.

I feel bad for you, but I do admit, I have pity for anyone that has to wear a hot costume in a Florida summer. Wearing shorts alone was too hot. Hell, it could be too hot while swimming with nothing on in our pool. I can only imagine the smell in those costumes.I will say that from my experience at Halloween Horror Nights, people can be terrified of the tiniest thing.

It's fun, but very difficult. Obviously it's quite physically demanding (you work 45 minute shifts, and actors working on the street need to be in character 100% of the time and scaring as many people as they see), but Universal sells a TON of alcohol. There's a lot of drunks that harass or attack the employees, then have to get literally chased down by police and security that are notorious for not paying nearly enough attention to the guests. Universal also tends to bend over backwards to avoid lawsuits, so non-drunks who act like assholes can threaten lawsuits and HR will panic, give them free stuff or refunds, and punish the actors.
Oh, and you only make minimum wage over the course of 4 or 5 of those 45 minute sets. Meanwhile, the face characters who work the park in the daytime make over twice as much as you and only need to work 10 or 20 minute sets. The irony is that many of those actors continue to complain about it being "too hot to work" or whining about it being too hard. Never mind that we're making less than half of your paycheck on longer shifts and don't even get full employee benefits because we're seasonal!

Hence why the Doctor Who episode Midnight works so well for horror.

The shortest horror story in the world:
The last human on earth is sitting alone in a room. There's a knock on the door.
Yeah, I know. I was referring to them having to work in the summer. Besides, it's still not fun in September and October. Just better.I feel bad for you, but I do admit, I have pity for anyone that has to wear a hot costume in a Florida summer. Wearing shorts alone was too hot.

The good news is that it's done at night in September and October, when it starts to cool down. The problem is that my costume last year was a heavy robe with a latex full head mask and gloves PLUS a long-sleeved black shirt and pants under the costume. My entire body was 100% covered except for eye, mouth, and nose holes.
That moment when the high of making fun of fangirls losing their shit expires, and you realize you're just as lonely as they are...now I'm going to go over to a corner and cry.

This reminds me of a story.
So, almost 6 years ago some friends and I decided to go to King's Dominion (a local amusement park) for FearFest (same concept). To make the trip all the more enjoyable, we got high as hell. I mean, we were high as giraffe pussy, walking around an amusement park with a punch of shitty actors in shitty costumes trying to scare us even though we knew what was up. I mean, one of the monsters was an old substitute teacher of ours*. It Rocked!
So, after riding a few rides and feeling pretty near concussed, I decided to let some friends ride another ride while I layed on a brick divider (about a foot off the ground and a foot wide), that separated a garden area from the walk way. Well, I'm laying there and a few of the actors came up trying to scare me. I being high and not feeling like putting up with it usually told them to fuck off while I continued laying there. Well, a few minutes go by and I hear some rustling in the garden area. I start saying "fuck off asshole" while rolling my head to my right and before I could even get out the "-hole" I see a skunk 3 feet from my face, lose my train of thought, and yell "Holy shit!!" instead loud enough for some young children to hear me. Luckily, their parents were understanding seeing the circumstances. Double luckily, nobody got sprayed.
So moral of the story, don't do drugs. Because the top three things you don't want to see when you're baked are police, parents, and skunks. Of course this story only deals with the latter, but details matter not with skunks.
*Funny story about that and I'll express it through dialogue.
Me: Watch, I bet someone gonna jump out when we turn the corner
every walks around corner and someone jumps out
Dude: arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh
Friend1: Don't I know you?
Me: Holy shit, that's Mr. So-and-so... he's a substitute teacher at our school.
Friend1: Dude, you ain't scary, you're a substitute teacher.
Mr. So & So: ARGGHH Not anymore I'm not.
We all laughed, found his retort witty, and at that point, he earned our respect.

I was hour late for work, because my job decided to fuck with my schedule in the wee hours of the morning, and changed my start time.

Did they even bother to notify you, or did they just expect you to somehow magically know?
Swear to god after what they did to you with your hours earlier this year sounds like they're trying to fuck you over for some reason.They've done it before, but at least the did it a decent hour that time.
My computer mouse is being a massive piece of shit.
Hey, we liberals aren't immune to having idiots among our ranks...

After what he did at Anne Frank's house, I doubt there's anything The Onion could come up with that would top his actual antics.
Club could bottle the pee in little vials and make a fortune with the Belieber crowd. Authentic Bieber Piss!Why do that, when you can bottle your own pee, and sell it as Bieber Piss. It not like anyone will test it and you can laugh all the way to the bank.
^^ For a moment, I thought that was somehow connected to the Bieber piss-bucket ordeal.
And Ozzy pissed on the Alamo monument. And probably a score of other historical and/or religious monuments around the world.^^ For a moment, I thought that was somehow connected to the Bieber piss-bucket ordeal.
Any time Bieber has been in your town, there's now a legitimate fear that he has urinated in the water supply.
Even Ozzy Osbourne didn't have THAT kind of stigma regarding his urination habits.
I think now is as good a time as any to step back for a moment and ask ourselves why, exactly, the fuck we are talking about celebrity piss.

Pissed on a monument made to honour a bunch of slavers. Ozzy fucking rules.
I don't think Hunter cared about the why, just the action itself.Pissed on a monument made to honour a bunch of slavers. Ozzy fucking rules.
I thought he did it because he was pissed and didn't know what building he was claiming territory on?

When gamers skip through the tutorials/in-game tips of games they play (especially Let's Players) and then hit the brick wall that the tutorial was telling you how to get around. It's annoying because, for the non-Let's Players, they end up asking on the forums how to do something that, if they had bothered to actually READ the tutorial, was perfectly explained to them... and in the case of Let's Players, it creates an incredibly frustrating and not fun at all moment where they keep throwing themselves at the problem, complaining that the game didn't explain anything to them (which, if they had just shut up for a moment and either listened to the Helpful Information Character talk, they would have been through in two minutes) and wondering what to do.
Also gamers who complain about how games "handhold" people. See above for why games handhold people now. And the sad thing is? A lot of these "dumbass gamers" are actually "hardcore" (pffft) gamers who have been playing almost as long as I have, sometimes longer :-/
THAT IS EXACTLY THE KINDA BULLSHIT I'M TALKING ABOUT!
...Ahem.
Sorry, that was just... ugh.

The problem with certain LPers is that they don't really understand what's truly funny. They legitimately think that screaming hysterically into a microphone, making stupid faces, and vulgar humor are good ways to make a good LP.
While this won't happen until tomorrow I'm complaining about it right now I hate Atlanta International, I hate this airport so fucking much for one reason and one reason only It makes you pay to use the fucking internet what airport does that!

Well, at least it doesn't make you pay to use the toilets. I'm sure that would be even worse.
My internet keeps going on and off and it's very irritating when I'm trying to roleplay.

I hate needing to pee again for some reason as soon as I walk out of the bathroom. My bladder conspires against me.

You cannot go from one wing of the jersey airport to another without going through security, so if you've got two hours I hope you want to eat something from the one they dumped you in.

Now I have the urge to rag on jersey some more, but I get the feeling implying that the 'stronger than the storm' campaign is only possible because the storm felt it was to classy for jersey and left would be a tad over the line. Bonus points, my dad's getting married down there within the month.

I so know the feeling. I take spironolactone, a testosterone blocker, which also happens to be a rather potent diuretic. I've lost count how often I go to the bathroom and then need to go either as soon as I finish or 30 minutes later. Especially so if I drink caffiene.

I hate the seeming random nature of clothing sizes. I have two pairs of identical jeans bought as near the same time as makes no difference. They're the same "line" from the same brand bought in the same chain of clothes shops. They are indentical, except for the fact that one that one pair is slightly too big and the other pair is slightly too small despite supposedly both being the exact same size. How the fuck does that even happen with modern, precision machine mass production??Some 3rd world elementary student was slacking off.

My dad died last year and my mom got life insurance for it. We're both fairly poor, but because she received life insurance, my school won't give me the financial aid I need. Because that life insurance is totally 100% going to be used for my tuition. It's not like my mom needs it to survive or anything.

Found what looks to be a decent job at a restaurant opening next month, but they want me to send them a picture of myself in "beach attire" (to prove I understand the term), and are not very clear on what that means. I am assuming this means brightly colored clothes/swim trunks, in which case I would require a few additions to my wardrobe. I don't mind purchasing a "uniform" or two if I'm hired, but I cannot justify that kind of expense on a "maybe".Tacky Hawaiian shirt, tacky Hawaiian swimming trunks, sandals. That's what I think it is. Oh, and sunglasses.
My internet cut out around seven or eight last night and didn't come back til maybe a couple hours ago. The hydro had gone out at the same time but it came back after a few minutes. Gotta love severe thunderstorms that only last for a few minutes at a time yet manage to generate tornado watches.Drinking game! Drink every time you see a flash of light! It shall be called... Thundershots!
I'm kinda annoyed with two of my friends. I bought each of them expensive gifts on their birthdays, and neither of them so much as bothered to say "happy birthday" to me yesterday. I mean, I'm not expecting them to buy me an expensive present in return or anything -- I wouldn't be offended if they weren't able to get me anything, since I know that neither is exactly rolling in cash -- but it would have been nice to at least had my birthday acknowledged by them.

I would've said so if I knew I'm sorry. :( Happy birthday all the same.
I also would offer to buy you something but I dunno how weird that would be. :/

@Mlle Antechrist, Happy Birthday
Now for what annoys me, everything that has happened today, starting with me forgetting my key this morning when I took my dog out for the first time, and my mom decided it was a good idea to hit me in the back of the head and bitch at me over it. Then some asshole appeared out of nowhere and almost ran me and my dog over when we were on his morning walk.
Also assholes that bitch about Comic-cons, because the focus is no longer limited to comic books, and has expanded to include all areas of pop culture.
Conspiracy theorists. So now you have people saying the plane crash in San Francisco was a hoax or something.What possible fucking purpose could that have served? At least 9/11 has a somewhat plausible agenda behind it.
I have a question for these people: has there ever been an actual crash that was not rigged by the government?

This past week, the very few times I've seen any TV news, they've been reporting on nothing but the British royals breeding. Fucking hell, there are more than enough things to report on that are actually relevant and effect people's lives, but no, some family of has-been aristocrats on the other side of the world shits out a little bastard, we have to hear about it over and over and over and fucking over again.
It's like those stupid Princess Diana conspiracy theories from 2007 all over again.

Agreed. The monarchy doesn't actually do anything important anymore. In fact, it kinda sucks to be born into it. Your entire life, you're put on display for people to gawk at, you have little privacy, the government likes to trot you out for display at loads of public engagements, like a prized pet or something, and you get no retirement; you keep doing it until you drop dead. It's an exhausting and kind of demeaning life, and it's absolutely pointless!

It's an exhausting and kind of demeaning life, and it's absolutely pointless!

My brother and dad are inconsiderate pieces of shit. Neither of them bothered to tell me that my godfather -- the man who was basically like a second dad to me when I was a little kid -- died all the way back in fucking April. I only found out today because I noticed that only my godmother had signed my birthday card, and checked his Facebook to discover a bunch of "RIP" comments on his wall.
Seriously, who just "forgets" to tell someone about something like that?

Goddamn. I'm so sorry, lovely. *hugs* I'd punch 'em for ya if I could. I doubt I could reach further than the crotch but people need a good crotch punch sometimes, huh?
My condolences on your loss.
Why weren't you in contact with him?

Mine grew in partially, and now I don't even notice them any more. I'd literally need a mirror and flashlight to properly identify them.
When they WERE growing in, I suffered an infection due to debris and I spent about a week popping one or two Advil a day.
My mum always saying that I look like a librarian in photos, because who doesn't want to hear that they look like a fucking librarian. I feel much more confident about my appearance now. Thanks mum.

Wow a whole two Advil. That must have been murder... Usually you get antibiotics for infections.
Admittedly that's part of what I was gonna say was annoying, I'm popping percocet 3 times a day with 20mg of oxycontin twice a day. Because my doctors are all about treating the symptoms rather than the cause.
It's an evolutionary thing. Little by little humans will have less and less room and wisdom teeth may not even bother forming at all.
Hot librarian is a trope, innit?Yes. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HotLibrarian)
I guess because the human jaw is getting smaller and can't accommodate so many teeth. We do have quite a lot of teeth (relative to jaw size) compared to most mammals... except the Opossum. Them critters got gator mouths.

I'm not sure. Maybe it's just a "you don't use it, you lose it" kind of thing. We don't need huge jaws to tear tough hide and meat off bones anymore for instance.
My teeth need a lot of work. Among other issues, my canines are legit fangs. I could probably easily convince and impressionable emo chick that I'm a vampire.
What they DON'T tell you about fangs is that you tend to accidentally bite the inside of your mouth a lot.
I used to have sharp canines. Then my orthodontist dulled them down. He didn't even tell me he was going to do that.
I kinda miss them.

He got locked in a lawsuit with the hospital over it, but I forgot how it turned out. All I remember is how much that episode really made me hate Cuddy when she told the guy that they were a business, and they'd get their money from him even if they had to take his house to get it.

Being an episode of House, it probably turned out that the guy had actually been shot in the heart 15 years ago and removed the bullet while sleepwalking, resulting in him accidentally spilling pepper into the wound before sewing it up (because he did it in his kitchen and House broke in to look for evidence) and causing a bizarre disease that nobody has ever heard of before but is still in all the medical databases and books dating back a century.
But they still try to blame it on lupus.
I am so very sick of my roommate/parents/younger siblings making "jokes" about how "lazy" I am ("Hmm, I wonder if she'll do anything today... of course she won't! Hahaha!") when I'm killing time (instead of myself) while waiting for my prescription be renewed/filled/picked up.

Minecraft mod scene rant inbound!
One thing that irritates the fuck outta me is the author of GregTech, GregoriousT. Ya see, in his quest to make the game as teeth-grindingly difficult as fucking possible, he decided to nerf the vanilla recipe to get wood planks: you'd only get 2 planks per log instead of 4. Why? The likely reason is because nobody was using his useless fucking sawmill machine, and instead of making the MACHINE better, he fucked with a core mechanic of Minecraft itself. However, that's not the end of it. Ya see, another mod, Tinker's Construct (made by mDiyo), relies quite a bit on wood, and when these two were mixed, GregTech badly fucked with the progression of Tinker's Construct. So, mDiyo added code in to detect if the plank recipe has been altered, and if it has, to return it to normal. Again, may not have been the best way to go around it, but whatever.
What does Greg do in response to this? Does he act like a rational, sane human being and ask mDiyo about his mod interfering with GregTech? NOPE. He throws a shitfit and injects malicious code that causes Minecraft to crash if Tinker's Construct is detected. Again, he decided to punish the PLAYERS for the decisions of a fellow mod author. The same shit SirSengir did when Technic refused to remove Forestry. Except, after the bullshit blew over, Sengir removed the malicious code, and people were allowed to add it to Technic should they desire to. The malicious code in GregTech is still there, its just turned off.
Greg, apparently, has it in his head that, if he wants to fuck with a mod, then he can without ever talking once to said mod's author(s). From what I can recall, this bit him HARD in the ass when he tried it with RedPower and Eloraam, one of the fucking authors of Forge, the API that damn near every mod in existence uses, rightfully kicked his ass for it. He's the one person I'm leery of when it comes to creating and releasing my mod, should it become popular. I don't want him to fuck with my mod's balance; he can add whatever he pleases and can suggest balance changes if he thinks some need to be made, but I don't want him fucking with it without at least asking me, first.
Am I right in thinking that, since its MY fucking mod, I have a right to say what is and isn't done to it?

I've had things in the past where I've opened the packaging and inside there's some marketing bumpf that's telling me how awesome the product is.

The people in charge of keeping records at my university's hospital are all retarded. None of it's digital. At all! No, they put half the charts on fucking microfilm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microform), which require special machines (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/58/Library_microfiche_reader.jpg) for the data on them to be accessed and read. And the hospital only has two goddamned microfilm readers! So I have to spend half my day in a dingy basement, sitting in front of a relic from however many decades ago and manually search for the information I need. If both the machines are already occupied, then I'm shit outta luck. What pisses me off even more is that the hospital is still fucking put charts into microfilm! I was looking through one patient's chart, and there was a visit dated as sometime in 2010! The other half of the hospital's charts are still in paper form. As retarded as this is, after spending hours in front of the stupid microfilm reading machine, leafing through actual sheets of paper is an improvement. I haven't been told any reason for why the hospital uses microfilm that isn't retarded bullshit. After several hours of hunting through the hospital's retarded chart system, time spent working on the databases fucking flies!
People thinking that because I'm not obviously queer, it's okay to make gay jokes around me/use "that's so gay" unironically. First of all, the fact that I'm not overly butch/flaming/in a same-sex relationship does not mean I'm not queer, it means I'm choosing to express myself in a subdued way. Second, even if I was heteronormative, I'd still call somebody out on it because if somebody pulls that shit, they are a douche and I enough douchebaggery in my life without that.Completely agreed. Although, I do give queer people a pass if they use gay/faggot because it is rather like black people using the n-word. That said, even though by my logic I could use those, I don't.

I'm pretty much 100% immune to common stimulants, including caffeine and all manner of energy drink. I regularly drink a large mug or two of coffee before going to bed. I once had three NoS energy drinks in a row at Otronicon and had absolutely zero effects.
I had a 5-Hour Energy once. All it did was give me a headache and gradually turn the left side of my body numb, the effects of which I expounded to the makeup class I was in at the time as they occurred. I got no energy at all.

Math thing. Basically, some guy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Cantor) proved that you can have two sets that are infinite (for example, the natural numbers and the real numbers) with their infinities of different 'sizes'. This was controversial at the time (late 19th century), but nowadays it's standard mathematics. There's a (relatively speaking) well-known proof called the diagonal argument that is simple enough to understand that it often finds its way on to math popularization books, blogs and etc. As a result, people who don't understand math sometimes come upon the notion, declare it absurd, and then they post on philosophy forums and make stupid arguments and I explain to them that they are wrong and then complain here.

Windwaker?Like I said, the jerk's never played it. Nevermind that it has an engaging, intuitive combat system; or a large cast of interesting characters; or one of the best soundtracks in gaming history; or Ganondorf getting stabbed in the freaking skull. Nooo, it's got bright colors and cartoony proportions, therefore it is kiddie. He's a decent guy otherwise, but it pisses me off that nobody can talk about Zelda (or, when he's in a mood, any video game) around him.
A kiddie game?
Yes, because having a sword driven through your forehead is pretty kiddy...
Welp. Just had some random guy (who, for the record, looked to be in his late 30s or early 40s) try to pick a fight with me using the patented junior high "What the fuck are you looking at?" tactic after I briefly glanced at him and his girlfriend. Apparently daring to lay eyes on this asshole for a fraction of a second warrants being called a "fucking bitch" and "stupid cunt".
Dude needs to lack of the crack/meth/alcohol/whatever he's abusing and go suck on a fat bag of dicks.
Those people who accused me of shit on the last forum I was on and have been stalking me around the internet?
Just found a video loaded with images of me mocking me on Youtube.
Now I'm angry.
You should never mock yourself on film Chit.

I got my first "Mom, is that [person] a boy or a girl?" in Wal*Mart today. The kid got shushed and pulled into a different isle before I could think of anything to say, but a lot of people heard and seemed to wonder the same thing. I suppose I can start waving my closet privilege bye-bye.
Closet privilege is the set of privileges afforded to people who aren't openly/obviously queer. It's similar to straight/cis privilege, except the person in question is only assumed to be straight/cis. For example: before my haircut/wardrobe change, people would assume I was straight/cis and be surprised when I told them I wasn't. Now that I'm expressing myself more openly, I have a harder time "flying under the gaydar", so to speak.I got my first "Mom, is that [person] a boy or a girl?" in Wal*Mart today.

Have you considered breaking the news that not all websites have a .com address?
In significantly worse news: I happen to know of a person who uses the word "googling" to refer to sending text messages. As in, he'd say "google me the address to X" to mean "send me a text with the address". To this day I'm not sure if he does it on purpose to mess with his kids.

I got up at 6am to go to a mostly redundant college orientation tour. When I arrived, I had to put on a name tag. I wrote "[Given name], but please call me Will" because I'd like fewer people calling me by a name I hate.Murder time fun time.
Boy, was that a mistake.
I got three "So, wait, you're a tr*nny?"s from the kind of douchebros that seem to spawn on college campuses, a "But you would be so pretty if you just blah blah blah..." from a girl who went on to say "hashtag YOLO" unironically, and a whispered stream of incoherent "g-d put your ~*soul*~ in that body for a reason" type bullshit from a Personal Space Invader.

The mindset that so many people have that you have to hate someone, because its a social cue to do so.
What, no, fuck off, i aint gonna personally hate on someone if they havnt done anything to me. Theres no point!

Filing! Hours of filing shit away into a cabinet for work today >:(
I LOVE filing! Give me lovely pile to file away and I'll be happy to do that. At least if the other option is customer service. At one job I was helping at different depatments of the place and the best week of my time in there was the week that I filed stuff. Took copies after copies of receipts and stapled them with originals and organized them (and lots of other documents) both alpabeticly and by date. It was True Heaven. The next week has few nice days too, as I shredded all the over 10 year old documents that weren't needed anymore. <3
I did initially, but the lady at the name tag table looked at me funny and because I have no spine I crumpled it up and asked for another one.Fortunately the profs called them out on their douchebaggery and the decent people (or at least the people who left me alone) outnumbered the jerks by about 4:1.
And that's why university is so much better than highschool.
Quick question though: Why couldn't you have simply put "Will" on your name-tag?
Murder time fun time.Tempting, but not the best impression I could make before I've even started classes. Besides, I can always kill them later. </joking>

I'm the same way. I'll do that stuff for weeks with a smile on my face if it means I don't have to deal with customers.
At least you guys/gals have jobs. I've applied at every burger joint, gas station, and convenience store in a thirty mile radius and I can't even get an interview. Right now the best I can get is rubber-banding (is that a verb? Oh well, it is now) flyers to peoples' doors in St. Paul in order to promote my brother's real estate business. Oh, and he pays me $5-7/hour and listens to the Rush Limbaugh show, so I have to listen to bullshit on the subject of Obamacare such as "Obama sold out the American People(TM) in order to get cozy with Big Business" (SHINY MIRROR ALERT). To top it all off, the job itself involves more walking than The Hobbit in its entirety, with an added dose of "Get the fuck off my lawn!"Filing!

You freaks, both of you. But then I don't have a customer service job. The only people I actually interact with are a doctor, a nurse, and a research coordinator, and usually it's only one of them a day. If I had to deal with customers all day long, I'm sure filing would be like heaven.

I have to go to three hour occupational health and safety class at 1:30. this pisses me off for three reason.Did they say no food? If not, bring food. I had to go to a five hour driver's ed thing (NY law, everyone does it), and brought tons of imported Japanese chocolates, two bottles of Mountain Dew and money for several bottles of water.
1. The time prevents me from just doing the class and going to my boyfriends, if I did, I would arrive at 6:30, which is a very very bad time considering where he lives
2. Its 1:30, it takes me an hour an a half to get down there, an early lunch, combined with the walk down and back, ill still be fucking hungry
3. Occupational health and safety for 3 hours. Fuck. you.
Odd, I can use it just fine :SYou mean the page where all of your subscribees' uploads are arranged in rows of four rather than a single column?
But I will agree it's getting worse as a site.
I can usually manage to find what I'm looking for, but their system is incredibly convoluted.
Also, along the same vein: Infinite scroll. Especially on blogs, but it's annoying on any site.
I got into an email-based shouting match with a relative today. I found out (from shoulder-surfing my mom while she was on FB) that she wants to use the Pearls' methods ofchild abusediscipline, as detailed in To Train Up A Child, on her firstborn daughter. You know, the book-turned-free-PDF that has a parent talking about how a child should have his or her will broken by the age of one year? The one that says children should be conditioned to immediately obey any command to avoid getting beaten? The one has has parents deliberately putting their kids into dangerous situations (near a pond, by an open stove, holding a gun...) and saying "No" to teach them obedience?
I read bits of TTUAC in order to better argue with my relative and found myself so severely disgusted I had to close the tab and look at kittens and corgis for a while. It's a manual for child abuse, wrapped in smug "righteousness". She insists it's not abuse, it's simply g-d's model for families and even goes so far as to claim anyone who doesn't beat their children hates them. Let me say it in internet shouty text: THIS BOOK ADVOCATES BEATING CHILDREN FOR ANY OFFENSE, NO MATTER HOW MINOR, UNTIL THEY SUBMIT COMPLETELY TO THEIR PARENTS.
If that's not child abuse, I'll eat my fedora with a fuckton of hot sauce and wash it down with razor blades.

Eh? I just use the front page.Well that explains that. For the past few months, the subscriptions page was been inaccessible unless you knew the URL (any links to it were disabled). Now Youtube has nuked it entirely, and we're all stuck using the incredibly shitty home page.
And if I need more, I generally go to the specific Youtuber's page to look for videos that don't show up in my subscriber feed.
Like I've pretty much always done. I've basically never used the "subscriptions page" to look at my subscriptions.

Everything about my ex, Devin, enrages me. EVERYTHING.

If that's not child abuse, I'll eat my fedora with a fuckton of hot sauce and wash it down with razor blades.
The moment you see evidence of abuse, call CPS with an anonymous tip.I got into an email-based shouting match with a relative today. I found out (from shoulder-surfing my mom while she was on FB) that she wants to use the Pearls' methods ofUpdate: The douchecanoe in question drove about an hour and a half to bring her daughter to a pastor who also subscribes to "beat your children 'till they love you" school of thought. He held the baby for a few minutes, then pronounced her "prone to rebellion - against her father, against you, against g-d, even against her natural place as a g-dly woman".

Her child is six weeks old. SIX. WEEKS. And what the fuck is up with the pastor who doesn't realize that a baby just might be fussy after an hour and half in an old car with shitty AC? What the fuck is up with a pastor that gives detailed descriptions of an infant's predisposition to certain types of sin? There is so much WTF in this picture that I can't even.

Fortunately for everyone involved, some of my other (also fundie) relatives are calling her out on her bullshit. Even Fundie Has Standards?
The moment you see evidence of abuse, call CPS with an anonymous tip.I wish it was that easy. She lives in another state. Considering the backlash she's gotten so far she might just ragequit Facebook and go about her merry child-beating way, squealing "persecution" the whole time. I'm going to keep an eye (and a "WTF") on her for as long as I can, but I realize that if she's intent on paddling her daughter until CPS shows up there's nothing I can do to stop her.
If you know her address, call her state's CPS. If not, get her address and call her state's CPS. They should have an anonymous tip line. If you see even one mention of her doing it, call them. If not, just call them after a bit.The moment you see evidence of abuse, call CPS with an anonymous tip.I wish it was that easy. She lives in another state.

Blackboard, the student website thingy (seriously, what the hell are those things called, cos I am not saying "learning environment") glitched, and now I have to write my essay in cardio on such a fucking lame topic, the equipment in sleep labs instead of heart and lung transplantsApparently, lots of things. I think the least obnoxious name would be "course manager".

You could just use the toilet for it's intended purpose.

Tampon directions disturb the hell out of me. Never again.
Actually, it's, like, ten steps, complete with illustrations on various ways to sit/stand to insert it and tampons being inserted into the body. The first step is invariably "Wash your hands". Step two is usually "Relax".
I want to throw HGTV people out the window. The living room had a ceiling that was 12-14 feet high, and the people complained that it was too low. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU???
Bleh. I really need to sleep, but any time I lie down, my toothache gets much, much worse (due to bloodflow, I'm assuming), to the point where Orajel + codeine doesn't entirely suffice in dulling the pain. I really wish I could just rip this tooth out of my jaw and be done with it.Read this as "Orajel + cocaine". Is that weird?

Oi, we can have a good old fashioned home dentistry party. Followed by the dash to the emergency room party, then the "Shit, why did I do this in a country that doesn't have public health care?" party, and finally the "Wanted in the state of Georgia for failure to pay medical bills" party.
But it would be worth it to hang out with you, and get rid of this tooth.
I'm completely DONE with being the black sheep in this household. My younger siblings get to say whatever they want to me - including "Hey, faggot, why don't you...", "[Will] watches My Little Pony! [Will]'s a horsefucker!", and "Why doesn't [Will] have to do anything?" - while I'm not allowed a simple "Shut up". When I do say anything, my parents are all "You need to learn to not hear them, it's not that hard" (what the fuck does that even mean? "Deafen yourself"?) or "They're not bothering you, so you have no reason to be upset" (clearly they are bothering me, because I wasn't bothered before I walked into the room and now I'm bothered.)My best advice is music with headphones or earbuds. My girlfriend's mother and her siblings are exactly the same, and that (and hitting them and making them scared of her) is what she does. So yeah, music, because I doubt you're gonna get away with abusing them.
I'm left wondering why Alberta health care is willing to provide automatic coverage for the treatment of injuries and infections anywhere on your body unless they just so happen to involve your teeth. How is this not vital health care?
Not as retarded as Quebec though.

and I told them that it was altered, and they're response was to laugh about and say that I was being PC. No, I'm not being PC, I'm just telling you that it's been altered. Never said anything about you shouldn't post it, though you do look like an asshole doing so.

Who the fuck thought this was a good idea?
It's more annoying that it takes a full year for those shows to be released on DVD/Blu-Ray. Because I don't get HBO I'm always a year behind the show. And why can't HBO Go be a pay service for everyone, and not just a benefit to HBO subscribers?Mid season breaks.

This reminds me how much I hate HBO does seasons of their shows. First of most the seasons are short, and only have about 10 episodes, Secondly, they make you wait a whole fucking year for the next season. I'm sorry, I'm going through GOT withdrawal.

I'm doing an independent study this semester with my favorite professor. I told him what time I could meet with him every week, and he emailed back, "We'll be working with M. Is that okay?" And of course, M is someone I absolutely despise. How the hell am I supposed to say no to that? I don't want to be miserable the entire semester, but I can't exactly tell the professor, "Aw no, she's a stupid bitch. I'm not working with that shit."

Indeed.
But ouch. I heard that antibiotics can cause those kinds of problems. Thankfully I have never had to deal with that. My antibiotics treat the internal infection and that's it. Only problems I've had would be when I turned out to be allergic to certain ones.
Yeah... we never really know how important the lil' bugs are in our bodies until they're gone.
Yogurt...I dunno if I just keep trying the wrong kids or what, but that stuff just tastes plain weird. Its zippy, kinda like orange juice, but not nearly as pleasing because of the odd under-taste it has going on.Yeah, you probably shouldn't be tasting kids. That's bad, mkay.

Completely burned my arms and hand by staying out in the sun too long. The fact that they turned red while at my sis's soccer game (as opposed to several hours later) says I'm probably in for a really unpleasant few weeks.
I don't suppose anyone knows of some good sunburn treatments that accelerate the healing process?
That is one of the whitest things ive ever heard

My arachnophobia is making it hard for me to get to sleep.
A few days ago I saw a tiny spider in my bedroom, and I just let it ago because the small ones don't bother me. Then the other day I found a huge spider in my bath, and now i'm really paranoid about them. When I go to bed I just can't stop myself from imagining it being that size and crawling all over my bed.
I dont know why, but i am absolutely terrified of hairless spiders like black widows, redbacks and orbweavers. But not hairly spiders.
Maybe its because i just like fuzzy things
Can't you just fill it out with spaces?

Nobody restocks orr refills anything, for a tuna sandwich and tea i had to get out more milk, refill the sugar jar, sneak my cup past mum because she loses her fucking mind whenever i reuse plates and cups. Had to get bread out of the freezer, find a bit of normal tuna behind the stockade of 500 tuna flavors nobody friggin eats. Goddamn nightmare

1st day of law school, and I'm not kidding, my laptop breaks! Like what are the odds?
Maybe for the best, I got a new one with cool bells and whistles that will probably help me in the long run.
Oh God. I tried this Samuel Adams Hazel Brown. It may be popular, but goddamn it tastes like crap. It's got a horrible, bitter hazelnut taste that overpowers everything. I'm regretting ever opening this bottle.

The two different brands of beer that I've tasted have tasted like liquid bread that's been pissed in.
I really don't get the appeal, or why anyone would want to acquire that taste in the first place.
Lurking one blog on Tumblr because most of that person's interests are relevant to mine, but I have one problem with this person: You better not be one of those assholes who think it's okay to discriminate against whites and cis-people just because there are those people to discriminate against non-whites and trans-people. I'm both white and cis, and I'm not one of those wastes of sperm and ovum who thinks it's okay to discriminate against non-whites and trans-people.Oh, THOSE people. :/
My little brother is such a pain in the arse, whenever we go on family trips out he always plays up and ruins it for everyone.
Today we went to theme park where he took his usual act of being an ungrateful little shit to a whole new level. He was constantly running off and we ended up losing him. We had to tell the staff he was missing then us and the theme park wasted three fucking hours looking for him.
Turns out he just went off to play some games after we got separated and walked home when he was bored.
We've tried to explaining to him why he can't do stuff like that, but he doesn't seem to care. >:(
Overly strict deals, and deals that turn out not to be good as expected. I went to a great local gastropub for dinner because they run a deal of having $3 Philly pints. So I figured they meant $3 on beers from the Philly region. Nope, they meant on breweries in Philly proper. The only I can think of is Yards, which makes very good beer. However the only Yards on tap was Brawler, an English Dark Ale style beer. I always find those to be a bit mild for my tastes.

Seems like a bad design from the start. I'd make it to where the wings DO contact the tabletop. Why they thought that was a working design, I've no idea.
The more contact you have, the more stability.
So if you can mold some of that putty stuff to contact points atop the wings I'd do it, mate.

I just don't get why he would want to act up when he is out somewhere like that. He just starts for no reason.

I've had ADHD since early elementary school (or was diagnosed with it, at any rate), and I knew back then to not do that shit. Still do, as a matter of fact.
I'll just say that just brushing it off as ADHD is a sign of poor parenting.
I keep getting "Blurred Lines" stuck in my head, even though I hate the song.
The fact that some idiots can't understand why legal courts only "suspect/accuse" people of crimes before sentencing them annoys me. The latest example was a fugitive who got caught in Finland when an off duty police officer came to the barbershop at the same time as he was getting a haircut. And since one of the many things he is suspected of is a jail break (which he is obviously guilty of) some people are treating this as the final proof that Finnish legal system is a failure.To be fair, calling it "suspected" when the guy is supposed to be in jail but isn't does sound pretty stupid. It's a formality, but I think it's one of those things where if he tried pleading not guilty, the trial would look like this.
Because apparently it would be better if people guilty unless proven innocent? I mean who cares that he is merely "suspected" of escaping from prison? He is going to get proven guilty unless it turns out that this is a completely different person or that he was supposed to get out, it's just formality.
Fucking tv and DRM. For some reason it's not recognizing that my HDMI cables have HDCP so I can't watch anything on my Blu-Ray player or Apple TV. It's always a temporary problem, but it's irritating as hell.Yet another reason to pirate.

The only other thing I can think of is the cold meds irritating my stomach. It can be kinda sensitive when I'm stressed out, so I dunno.
Also, remember awhile back when I mentioned that my dumbass cousin got a bunch of ducks because her toddler wanted them? She just gave them away because she couldn't handle them. What a fucking shock. I know that what she did is far better than neglect, but still, use your brain when you're planning on getting a pet, people. Don't let your stupid kid talk you into getting pets that you have no clue how to care for. She posted a picture of her daughter who looked sad about losing the ducks. Well, what did you expect? Jesus fuck.
Coulda maybe kept one... Ducks ain't that hard to take care of. I had a pet duck once. I miss him... Damn fox...
Oh well... Fox was just being a fox.

I'm out of my meds and can't get a refill until tomorrow after work. Having some seriously nasty withdrawal symptoms right now. :(
There was a palmetto bug on the ceiling right above the door. So when I left the room to get the roach spray, I tried to blindfire up through the door. When it didn't work, I dashed inside because I was afraid it would try to drop on my head.Blech. I once rolled over on one in bed. It left me with a fear of roaches.
So I sprayed it and barely managed to kill it before it scampered all the way across the ceiling to attack me. I had an upside-down giant flying roach trying to charge me.
Someone reposted an edit I did for Mass Effect. You can argue until the cows come home whether the picture belongs to me or not, but they still reposted work I did and didn't even give me credit for the fact I had to take a picture of the scene, save it, edit it in photoshop, crop it to tumblr specs, then upload it.
And my watermark is pretty obvious so it's not like I just think it's mine that someone uploaded. It is actually mine and you can see the original a few posts down from the reposted one in the tags.
On the plus side (?) generally when you have such art reposted it means you finally 'made it' in the editing world for someone to steal your work like that.
Eh.
Is your watermark still on it?
Yeah they get pretty huge pretty quick. There's a plant the size of a small tree growing from the burn pile in the field behind my house.The neighbor's is similar sized. In fact, I thought it was a small tree or a really big bush until I figured out what it was.
I'm out of my meds and can't get a refill until tomorrow after work. Having some seriously nasty withdrawal symptoms right now. :(
*loves on* If you need to, you can hit me up on steam if you need to talk. I'd suggest tumblr but it's being a butt right now.

I managed to get in to see a doctor at the clinic for a refill, so I'm feeling a hell of a lot better now. It'll still take a day or two before I'm 100%, but at least I'm not nauseated or having those brain buzzes anymore. I appreciate the offer to vent, though. <3
Were you on benzos or something? Benzo withdrawal is hell on earth. I have no idea how I managed to get through the worst of mine cold turkey (plus with 30% mortality rate...)

Effexor, which is an SNRI (similar to SSRIs, but it affects norepinephrine levels in addition to serotonin). It's worked wonders in keeping me from being a depressed, anxiety-ridden wreck, but its potency combined with a short half-life means that it has some pretty gnarly withdrawal effects, to the point where a lot of people continue taking it even if it doesn't help (or even worsens) their depression/anxiety because they don't want to deal with the withdrawal. The "brain zaps" alone are extremely disturbing, particularly because they're so different from any other sensation you've experienced. I've yet to find a sufficient means of explaining how they feel. Best I can come up with is that they're vaguely similar to that electric shock sensation you get when you bang your funny bone on something, only they originate in your brain and somehow feel even more electric, yet even that doesn't cover the entirety of the sensation. It's just... weird.
I've never taken benzos, luckily, but I've heard about how hard it is to get off of them. Kudos to you for kicking them. :)
Thanks. :)
With withdrawal from Xanax, I had some... interesting tactile and audio hallucinations. As well as the typical hellish rebound anxiety. I've been through the worst of it for a while and I still have yet to feel 100% 'right'. However, my mind is much MUCH clearer. It wouldn't have behooved me to go through the rest of my life in a dopey dozy haze.
I have heard about the brain zings from anti-depressants. I'm on Prozac and Wellbutrin, but I've yet to need to get off them. I've been told the withdrawal isn't that bad, but I'd rather not try my luck, hehe.
I read my GABA receptors (which are all over the body, not just in the brain) need to get reworked and that can take time. So... I'm just waiting.
I've had those before but they're usually in response to certain pain meds. As well as at random times where I'm just minding my own business and I feel tingling in my brain and such.

I'm not sure about Wellbutrin, but I've read that Prozac doesn't have the brain zaps, and can actually be useful in helping to lessen the withdrawal effects from other drugs, but I'd imagine that it differs from person to person. Hopefully you'll never have to experience them, or any of the nastier withdrawal effects. Coming off benzos is definitely more than enough withdrawal for one lifetime.

Some pain meds have been linked to the sensation, particularly if they're also used to treat depression and anxiety. Do the sensations also come with a burst of tinnitus and (if particularly bad) the bizarre sense that your entire being has shifted out of phase with your body (for want of a better description)?
The brain tingle thing is a bit different, but also pretty disturbing. Sometimes when I've had it, my face will feel super warm and I'll get this brief moment where everything seems surreal and off-kilter. Thankfully, it's fairly rare and goes away pretty quickly.

Perhaps they assumed that was enough. Also, it's the first day of school and I burnt the back of my finger because I was straightening my hair while texting my girlfriend.Is your watermark still on it?
That's what I said. It's pretty obvious.

I take both of these as well. Though not at the same time, I've run out of both before and suffered no withdrawal symptoms. Perhaps it was easier because I still had the other.
Glad you're feeling better, Mrs A. :)

It's actually not all bad. There's Soulsaving Crusader who "seeks to free [those nasty queers] from spiritual bondage and sin". She's the only person who fields more weird/inappropriate questions than I do, and she'd probably be a decent friend if she got un-brainwashed and removed the gigantic stick from her ass. As it is, I'm just glad that there's someone else to be the group's punching bag. (Let me be clear that she brings the mockery upon herself by going into a safe space and politely saying everyone there is going to hell.)*snip*

Similar thing on tumblr: if you don't reblog this I'm judging you/you have no heart/etc.,...that's like saying it's not a "cat", it's a "feline".
I care, but I care more that that post has a billion gifs and I don't need to be guilted into something like that. Oh, and also it's same-sex marriage not gay marriage. So no I won't be reblogging if I support gay marriage.

I'm not even fond of SSM anymore, I kind of prefer "I support marriage equality" myself.
I'm not even fond of SSM anymore, I kind of prefer "I support marriage equality" myself.
'Marriage equality' makes a better slogan (because it sounds nice and all), but when sloganness is not a major consideration I prefer the specificity of 'same-sex marriage'. 'Equality' can mean equality under just about any parameter, and then you get people complaining that true equality should include marrying a 10-year-old or whatever.
Of course, 'same-legal-gender marriage' would be somewhat more accurate, but the phrasing is clunkier. A hard balance to strike.
As for 'gay marriage': I firmly support the right of straight people to get married to people of their same sex if they want to. I don't expect many of them will, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't have the right. And two straight people of the same sex getting married doesn't seem any gayer than them entering any other contract.

Well, not really "grinding". Twerking includes aspects of that if there's a lucky/unlucky guy around, but it's primarily about booty shakin'.

People complaining about perfectly normal weather. A friend of mine called me to complain about the temperature. "It's cold and it's only September." Yes, it's cold because we live in Ohio and It. Is. September. Just because we've had freakishly warm weather the last few Septembers doesn't mean this isn't the normal weather.It's the same in NY. I'd be happy... if I didn't leave my door open last night and dad wasn't too cheap to turn on the heat for a bit, and my space heater wasn't broken. It's fucking cold in here.
SoCal is going through a bit of a heat wave, like it does every year. I'm trying to figure out why nobody's noticed the pattern yet. I mean, yes, we have broken pretty much every heat record by several degrees (up to 20 in some parts of LA/OC/Riverside counties I think), but the fact that people think the heat is odd for this time of year mystifies me.People complaining about perfectly normal weather.

Florida may or may not be the center of a space-time anomaly.
Florida may or may not be the center of a space-time anomaly. Rain not only has a hard border, but it can move 10 or 20 yards in a few seconds at random.Oh, been there, done that. At my old home in FL, we could have heavy rain on one side of the house and sunlight on the other... and it last for an hour. Go out back and watch the rain falling out front.

In fact, I'm convinced that the only people who go to the afterlife are people who die in Florida.That makes odd sense. My grandparents on dad's side did too.
Not because Florida is special in any religious sense, but because space-time is so warped there that it completely changes reality to something supernatural.

I just saw someone say that "he" is a gender neutral pronoun. I've only heard it very rarely used as gender neutral, and that's only in the same context as using 'men' and 'man' to refer to the human race as a whole. The context of this person's claim was not that context, considering they were referring to a specific character.

*cue laugh track* It's not gender neutral but people try to use it and often do when the gender is not known about a certain person or animal.
Yeah, "he" is generally the default people use when they're not using "they" as something vaguely gender neutral. It's not really meant to be a specifically gender neutral pronoun, just the first one they come up with. Attempts to avoid this lead to things like tabletop RPG sourcebooks that randomly change pronouns when discussing hypothetical, unnamed characters taking action. I swear I've seen at least one paragraph where the editor didn't catch that the same character was referred to as "he" and "she" in the same paragraph.
There might be some language-related context for it as well. In French, at least, you use "le" and "les", the masculine pronouns, for anything that has any male parts. If a group of people is mixed gender, regardless of how many of each gender are in it, you always use the masculine "le" or "les"; "la" and "las" are. I think at least some other Romance languages may be the same way.
Frankly, I can't stand gendered nouns. Not because of some social justice-related righteous anger, but because the choice of gender is variable based on every language and sometimes seems downright random if you haven't researched the exact naming rules.
Not really pertinent but I hate when people use both parenthesis and the term 'ooc' to refer to ooc remarks.
Though I will say completely avoiding Shepard and basically pretending anything they did doesn't really exist is kinda silly and going to absolute extremes to cover your ass. There's nothing wrong in having a roleplay where everyone agrees on the choices made by one Shepard that is basically an NPC.
Then again, I'm speaking as someone who roleplays as a femshep and has done so for over a year.
Ew. Control. But yeah. I kinda miss those articles, tbh...
EDIT to stay on thread topic:

Except that was an author note at the beginning of the fic, not a dropbox option?Oh, thought you were talking video games. Okay, yeah, that better be some harsh goddamn motherfuckin' language.
It wasn't harsh at all. It was rather tame for the characters involved.Ahh. Well, people are dumb.

It appears my dog has been shitting coal.I recommend taking the dog to the vet and putting the bags of coal in a plastic bin with a lid. My dog used to chew up plastic water bottles and we solved the problem by getting a closed-top, tip-proof recycling bin.
No, seriously. I found pieces of coal in his faeces. We do keep bags of coal in the back yard, but none of them are open so I don't know where he got it (and, more importantly, how to stop him from eating more).

Well for starters....are you laying out your meat in the corners?
Well for starters....are you laying out your meat in the corners?
I usually fold the meat slices in half and have three of those and it works out OK.
Cheese slices are the ones I have problems with, they aren't the same length or width as the bread, so I have to cut out rectangles of cheese to fill in the gaps at the side and the top.

I'm always surprised when it's 9/11, mainly because of the way the date is written.
Today is 9/11.
Today is 9/11 and Friday is the 13th. Seems like a good week to stay inside.

I've had that too. I've had dreams where everything had worked out and was more or less perfect and I was actually happy for a change. Then I wake up and realise nope, everything still fucking sucks.
When you start reading a random comic or manga and then it turns out that not only is it sappy romance, but it is in fact sappy gay male romance, but at that point you have been swept by the plot and can't stop reading.
Not that this would be something that happens to me often.
Just twice. There was a third manga which turned out to be "boys love" series, but frankly, apart from few creative quirks it was quite boring so I didn't read far into it.
I'm kinda curious as to what the two comics were.Well since you asked.
People who reblog every single fear-mongering post that passes by on their Tumblr dashboard instead of doing a couple minutes of fact-checking to make sure it's accurate.
Like the idiots who are reblogging this image, with a caption stating that it's a map of radioactive contamination from the Fukushima meltdown:
(http://i.imgur.com/PIkdujQ.jpg)
Because radiation is totally measured in centimeters, right?
In reality, this is a map of the spread of debris from the 2011 tsunami, and has precisely dick all to do with radiation.
I've reached the stage of caffeine tolerance where I can drink half a dozen Mt. Dews in an hour and still feel like I'm about to fall asleep. Seriously considering switching to a stronger stimulant, except I can't afford the habit I have.

What did they do this time?
Whereas I can take one No-Doz and feel so ramped I need to run a thousand laps around the house. I've always been pretty sensitive to stimulants. It takes a lot to get me drunk, however.

Youtube layout changed again. I think this version is more annoying than the previous, now I have to open up a tiny meny to change the resolution and size etc. Before those were all available without opening the menu. And it's not like keeping them behind an extra button made this layout any cleaner or less crowded or anything.Fucking seriously. Really now, what is the benefit of hiding the same buttons behind another layer of drop-down menus? Really, what idiot manager over at Google decided that "yes, this is how our programmers and web designers should be spending their valuable and rather expensive time. Adding yet more needless bullshit to the already needlessly-bullshit-laden Youtube interface".

I dread to think what they'll come up with next. Replace all mouse and keyboard support and replace the lot of it with waggle controls, I'd wager. At the very least, it wouldn't surprise me.
I'm watching some Youtube vids about Syria and the financial crisis, and the links to corroborative information that they are providing in their respective descriptions all lead to missing/deactivated web pages.

A lot of conspiracy websites are pretty poorly maintained. Sometimes the kooks running them just forget to pay the bills.
If I wanted to troll conspiratards I would save some links to copyrighted videos on youtube that get removed.

Is there no low that United Way won't sink to?
The last couple of years, we kept getting the, "Think of the children" crap from them with their pulling us from our work to show us picture after picture of children who are starving or suffering. I wanted to yell, You're standing right #%%@#@ there! You %^$@!@$ feed them!"
This year, the rep told us, "if you don't donate monet to get these people off the street they're just going to break into your homes and steal it anyway."
Really? You went from guilt trips to solid threats? What's really funny is I've encountered situations where UW actually took $ from people's checks even though they requested to not donate (I even had their receipts to prove it). When I confronted UW about it, they made up excuses and tried to pressure me to tell the people to, "just let it go." They changed their tune when I threatened to report them to their national office.
I'm sure UW has helped a lot of people, but from what I and so many I've spoken with have experienced, they're nothing but a group of bullies and thieves, and I'd love to know what they're saying or giving to our upper management to make them ignore the, "You will never be pressured to donate" rule.
People who think it's okay to touch my hair without my permission.

Apparently my emotional responses to food have done a 180. I used to overeat out of anger, now I can go a whole day without food and not feel hungry because somebody pissed me off.
I managed to eat some Nutella on toast without feeling terrible. Part of the problem is that I frequently get told I'm a "fucking fat pig" at the-neighbors-can-hear-you volume if I eat "too much" of something/a food item another family member wanted. That and I'm on my meds again, which upset my stomach.Apparently my emotional responses to food have done a 180.

*hugs* I hope you feel better soon.
Can you try forcing yourself to eat something light, like soup and crackers? It might help awaken your appetite. Even if it doesn't, you'll at least get some food in you.
Damn, what an idiot. I'll admit that I'm not very friendly to religion either, but I've actually read books like the Bible and the Koran. And while fear is certainly an important part of religion, especially organized religion, it is far from the only part. it would have died out a long time ago if that were the case. And really, is he so sure he's read Dawkins right? Cause I'm a huge Dawkins fan as well, and I don't recall him ever getting so... extreme. Hitchens I can se doing that, but Dawkins, I'm not so sure about.
In fact, let me express annoyance at this guy and his ilk as well. They are the biggest threat to the atheism movement, not religious fundamentalists. They make atheists look like fools, giving credence to the idea that its "just another religion".
My oven takes 2 hours to pre-heat.
For reference's sake, this guy seems toreligiouslydiligently read books by Dawkins, Hitchens, Dennett, and Harris, and spends most of his time in r/atheism when he's not bothering the hell out of me.
That nobody should complain about the lack of gay/bi options or characters in video games because "The whole point of video games is to be someone else" (my phrasing again) and that it's okay for games to cater towards nothing but straight people because "they're the majority".
5) That he shouldn't have to actually study religion to criticize it, because "it's all bullshit anyways." Yet he tries to criticize them like he's got all the knowledge in the world.

Dawkins went on to say that one of his former school masters “pulled me on his knee and put his hand inside my shorts,” and that to condemn this “mild touching up” as sexual abuse today would somehow be unfair.

I also hate it when parents take unique name spellings to the extreme to make their kid a special snowflake. Stuff like Mehghanne (Megan).My given name is an example of this.

Theres no place called Agressively unique in Finland!
Just kidding. I'm not going to force you if you do not wish to say it. I was just curious. Particularly since picking a name from finnish hamlets could get anything from "crazy-awesome but impossible to pronounce by foreigners" to just "impossible to pronounce by foreigners."

For some of them writing popular fanfiction validates their belief that they are a writer. Having people obsess over their work gives them hope that they could have a career in their dream field. Criticizing it feels like you're criticizing their very hopes and dreams.
Personally, I don't like people I know offline reading things I've written. I think it's weird for any of them to be involved in my hobby. And now I feel like I need to find the quote equating writing to masturbation.

It's kinda funny to think he's calling himself a member of an ancient warrior race of Asia.

It's kinda funny to think he's calling himself a member of an ancient warrior race of Asia.
No, he generally uses the term mongol (which was also used to describe people with Down syndrome before the latter term became preferred). It's pretty clear from context that he means "retarded" rather than "Asian warrior".
He's using the term wrong, then. "Mongoloid" was the term people used to refer to individuals with Down Syndrome (and sometimes FAS, since a few of the symptoms are similar). "Mongol" had always referred to an ethnic group.
Dr Benda: I am surprised that in the United Kingdom the term mongol rather than mongoloid is used: mongoloid is at least a descriptive expression indicating the mongol-like appearance; it is certainly inappropriate to identify patients with Down's syndrome with a racial group - the Mongols...The term Down's syndrome at least gives the idea that this is a condition which may affect a child to different degrees. We need a new dynamic concept of this syndrome to further our scientific research.

"Mongol" had always referred to an ethnic group.I haven't heard of mongoloid being used for people with Down Syndrome. The times that I've heard it or seen it in old schoolbooks it referred to ethnic groups.

I have that same problem with potheads.
I don't care if someone smokes pot responsibly, but I also have a problem with potheads for similar reasons because they're doing something really unhealthy, and the worst part is that they're really dishonest about it. The most annoying potheads are the ones who deny that yes, marijuana can be addictive and harmful to the human body, just like anything else you fucking breathe into your lungs.
Also, I have been to Hempfest in the past and that contains an... interesting array of people. Most of them are fucknuggets like these.

Reclaiming for who? Unlike what "uppity" usually means, they're not risking persecution in order to fight against the systematic oppression of millions of people, they're just a bunch of keyboard warriors with a fucking martyr complex.
Well... here's something that annoys me. That mama/daddy tiger is using its kid as a pillow.
Since when does using uppity to describe yourself constitute self martyrdom?Martyr complex, not self martyrdom. There's a difference. Then again, perhaps "hero complex" would be a better descriptor. Eh, I'm sure you get the idea.

My landlord installed a new "wi-fi enabled" thermostat in our place today. That's all well and good, and frankly, I could give less of a fuck...BUT HE FORGOT TO TURN THE FUCKING AC BACK ON WHEN HE LEFT! I've been boiling for hours wondering "what the fuck's going on?!"
I think one of my flatmates is right, and my landlord isn't exactly the sharpest cookie in the shed.

Youtube, why the fuck do you keep trying to shove basketball strategies into my face in the recommended videos?
I don't fucking care about basketball, I actually hate it almost as much as I hate American football, recommend something that's actually in my interests.
iOS7. It looks worse than a skid mark.
Also, burns. More specifically, the way they throb like a bastard for hours and hours on end unless you hold them against something cold. Most inconvenient.

Been there before...accidentally burned some of my flesh off my finger trying to get something out of a toaster oven. I'm not exaggerating in the slightest when I say that I was in excruciating pain for two months or more. It was a pretty small one, too: only about a centimeter wide and half as tall. I will NEVER forget that pain. Or the smell. My god, the smell...

Good lord. That sounds like one of the worst things imaginable. I've only ever touched something hot for a fraction of a second and singed the surface of my skin and that was plenty bad enough.
When media shows people walking or running on ice exactly like they would on normal ground.
Yeah, I do the same thing. I live in Minnesota - there's not a whole lot of choice. OT: When I was in, I think it was tenth grade, there was a Brazilian FXS at my school. She arrived at the start of second semester (January), so she was enthralled for about a week before becoming abjectly miserable. To cheer her up, several students (including yours truly) performed feats such as running on ice without falling or drifting around a particularly vicious icy corner. By the time we started dancing, she was so angry she started screaming at us in her mother tongue before attempting to storm off and falling on her ass. Ahh, good times.When media shows people walking or running on ice exactly like they would on normal ground.
I can walk on it pretty fine, and I did even as a kid. It's just a matter of being careful with your steps and being very flat-footed (the same thing I do to run in pouring rain).

I have to go paint my steps a darker color because someone who previously owned this house thought white is a great color for steps. Not like scuff marks show up on white.
If she was truly Brazilian, the fall wouldn't have hurt.I'm pretty sure it didn't hurt anything but her dignity.
Just died in hell in Minecraft, on the server on which I play. I had obscenely advanced armour, 2nd best with the mod suite we've got, and I got killed by a blaze and a wither skeleton's wither effect.Gaaahh, that sucks. I've had griefers take down my structures, but that's a whole new level of frustration.
I don't ragequit often, if at all, but I fucking ragequit today. DONE. Donedonedone.

Oh, we had that, too! Apparently, the admins didn't do backups, either, so we just had to fucking roll with it. Glad the admin we got left at least used his adminly powers to recoup some of our losses...namely our fucking Applied Energistics system and Forestry farms that got annihilated.
I'm kinda sad, because the other admin hasn't been on in ages, and I actually LIKED playing with him. The other one's a bit frustrating to deal with, sometimes. Like, I asked him to teleport me to base when I died because our base is 1.5km away from spawn. I walked the whole fucking way there, nearly dying many times including nearly starving to death, and that was -after- he acknowledged my request and said he'd be right on it. I walked. One and a half kilometers. Through the most hostile fucking terrain imaginable, and his slow ass never gave me the teleport he said he would.

Maybe an underground or elevated railway from spawn to your base is in order? It's not only practical, but also fucking badass.
Sorry, Jeb. I didn't paint them purple. They are now a lovely shade of dark green. Which looks very nice next to the brick wall the steps are against.

There has been several worlds I've quit playing, either because I lost a lot of items that would help me later on or to recover quickly or because I got killed too early and can't find my base.
I know how it feels...
This isn't exactly a newsflash, but mosquitoes are fucking assholes. I had to put clothes in the washer because I ran out of pajama pants, and the motherfucker bit me on my upper outer thigh, both sides.

Its odd, I've gone thru periods of my life where I drank coffee pretty heavily; like a pot or two a day if not more. However, I've never had caffeine withdrawal, not once. No headaches, no irritability or anything else. I mean, I still craved coffee...in fact, right now, I kinda do, but that's more a desire for the taste than the caffeine.
Parallel parking was the only reason I didn't ace my driving exam (still passed though). What was ridiculous was that the day before the test, I had it down pat. Amazing how some guy with a clipboard being in the passenger's seat makes your brain evaporate.I had the opposite problem when I took my driving test. I could parallel park and 90o back like a bamf (made easier by my dad's fucking tiny car) but my left turn was wonky and so I failed.
When im trying to fap and one of the housemates here lets out this disgusting smoker cough and horks a spitwad. My dick just shrivels up and diesI believe that's what's known as an "overshare", HT.
Its even worse because it echoes around the house

Eesh... She could have just prayed all that in secret. You know... like the Bible says to.It gave me the opportunity to scrawl "How are you so sure that your God doesn't have it in his plan for me to be a trans man?" on the bottom and tape it somewhere she'll see it.
Leaving little notes like that, I find it quite tacky.

But yeah, it's tackier than a Hawaiian shirt on anyone who's not Wash.
That note...For my mom that is original. She used to just give me a sheet of bible verses. She stopped when I started using other bible verses to refute or contradict the ones she gave me. I'd also find all the horrible, graphic, and just plain weird stuff in the bible and leave it under her pillow.
Most of that was just copypasted from the Bible with a few minor changes. You'd think Dodongo's mom could at least have written something original.

I lost my engagement ring. Considering everything that ring has gone through it was pretty anticlimatic...
I mean, I've worn it in factories (silver gets some really psychedelic colours when it gets some chemicals on it) I've worn it while swimming in lakes, rivers and oceans. Then I go and take it off before a sparring match and it slid along the dashboard of my car and went into the ventilation. Having it removed from there would cost more than the simple silver ring was worth. (I've never liked gold, I just think it's tacky and does not suit me. I rather have something that works against werewolves any day.)
So apparently I have to get my wisdom teeth removed. All of them.

There is a little wild bird in the house. I have no idea how said little wild bird got in the house. I opened a window and am waiting to see if it realizes the window is open.Had that happen before. It got in through a hole in the ceiling. It was a fun morning.
I'll never forget the time he, if memory serves, quoted his mother saying the phrase "faggy delights." I dunno why, but it amuses me to no end.
I can't seem to eat enough to not be hungry today.
My little brother used my name change as an excuse to have his buddies shoot Nerf darts and rubber bands at me ("Fire at Will!"). As painful as the rubber band welts are, I'm too much of a sucker for terrible puns to really be mad at him.Hehe... I have to admit, I probably would have done the same thing were I in his shoes and a little kid.

When I shut down my laptop it takes forever for everything to close, but if I accidentally hit "shut down" instead of "sleep" or "hibernate" it will instantly close everything and turn off.That... doesn't make sense. You shut it down and it takes forever, but you shut it down "accidentally" and it's instant?

Costco ALREADY has Christmas decorations for sale. Three. Months. Early.I wonder why they don't extend Christmas to the other direction as well. I mean people like buying discount stuff in january after the season is over so why not go there and move the discounts to a later date?
Seriously? I think the War on Christmas now qualifies as a defensive war.

There was one year at the major retailer I worked at, where I swear they were still playing the fucking Christmas music until just about the end of January. To say we were all sick of it was the understatement of the month.

Lightning storm at 4 AM. Rain so thick the rest of today the freeway was only going 40 MPH.
Older sister's psychotic cat mauling me in my sleep at 7 AM. Not an exaggeration.
Coyotes yowling in the neighbor's yard at 8 AM. Seriously guys, you're supposed to do that at night.
Using the term "DH" to refer to one's husband. I get that it's supposed to be a really sweet, endearing term (an abbreviation of "Dear Husband"), but to me it seems like over-the-top diabetes-inducing glurge.

The next person to bring up GMO or weed while others are discussing the Shutdown will get milk tea in their face. Like can you focus on the topic that's at hand? I swear, there is a time and place for those discussion, but people feel the need to bring them up everywhere.
Awesome... Be careful though, they may tie you down and try a full-on exorcism.
Were all this fuss made at me, it'd be hard for me NOT to act all possessed and such around 'holy' items and liturgy. Oooh, I'd be so frikkin' tempted.
I think that would be counterproductive... Unless I did the act and then dissolved into hysterical hyena laughter at the thought of their Magikal Sky-Daddy bullshit doing anything whatsoever. *Urdnot Grunt voice* Heh heh heh.Awesome...

"Oh, damn, no government today. America's a lawless wasteland now. I'll just go back to bed and smoke a Mary now. No laws against Mary Jane anymore. Green Day."

I've noticed that a lot of "messianic potheads," as I like to call them, derail practically all political conversations into the War on Drugs and weed. These people also tend to defend weed like it's just a harmless herb, like it's broccoli or something. Or they advertise how much they smoke weed everywhere because they want to show the Man (TM) how rebellious they are.Some of them actually claim marijuana is good for one's health. It destroys your lungs just like smoking anything else does.
As for anti-GMO people on Tumblr, these tend to be the same gullible idiots who reblog shit about how radiation from Fukushima is supposedly reaching the West Coast of the US, how you can stop the police from following you by dialing a certain number, and think MLK was assassinated by the US government (and have dubious conspiracy theorist blog sources to back it up).

Considering how fundies like to point to descriptions and videos of exorcisms to claim that "oh yeah, that guy was screaming satanic noises everywhere the whole time DEMONS ARE REAL" I would suggest acting as calm and clear-headed as possible if it comes to that. Do not give the fundies more reason to believe this stuff is actually doing anything.

How do I federal law?
I mean, Washington has legalized recreational marijuana, but what people forget is that it's still technically illegal here under federal law. It's just that the federal government has decided to stop enforcing it here for now. If they choose to enforce that law again, then they can trump state law because federal law is superior.

While I do not believe in the outright banning of pot, I do believe in keeping it controlled much like pain medication is. If people are going to smoke pot, they might as well be safe about it.

I have yet to see a case of someone dying from too much marijuana use.
I tend to view marijuana and alcohol as fairly equivalent. Both can cause harm if not used in moderation, and both alter your state of mind. Though marijuana is probably safer, honestly, since you can't OD on it.
I've never tried it. Then again, I don't drink or smoke either.
When I'm high, my internal filter that says "you shouldn't say that" or "you should phrase that differently" goes out to lunch. I also get somewhat clumsy. When I come down I usually want to fall asleep and get cranky if I can't.

Brothers in sobriety? Sweet. I've never had a reason to get drunk, baked, or high on whatever your poison of choice might be. I fail to see the point, honestly. There's far, far cheaper ways to have fun and running from my pain is one thing, but hiding from it behind a veil of liquor and/or pharmaceuticals? I'll pass, thankee. It sounds quite boring to me, at the best of times.

Any time I've smoked pot, it's been the exact opposite for me. I get so self-conscious that I can't do anything without a little voice going, "Was it weird for me to say that? Was it a weird tone of voice? Is everyone looking at me funny, or am I imagining things? Oh god, the way I moved my hand can't be normal, these people totally think I'm a freak. Should I be sitting like this? Do people normally sit like this? Fuck, how long have I been silent? Should I say something? Will it be weird if I say that? Shit, I hope I'm not moving my mouth along with everything I'm thinking."

Mum bitches constantly about how the phones are always dead. We have 8, and usually only 2 are charged. So recently I've been putting the phones back in their chargers as soon as mum stopped talking. She took that to mean she never puts them back.

Even were I to accept the argument that any drug should be restricted for recreational use, the big difference is that you can overdose on opioids. I have yet to see a case of someone dying from too much marijuana use. Yes, the smoke could possibly cause problems in the long term, but I don't see the DEA going around banning cigarettes or incense. People are allowed to make personal choices about those things.

You never asked that question of me until just now.
And neither is this the thread for it.
Either way, it really depends, now doesn't it? For me, marijuana is one of the least harmful drugs that you can get that is still illegal. Well, in most places.
I hate it when people are unbearably stupid about their college choices. I know a girl who wants to become a music teacher, which we all know is not the best-paying job. Well, it's her choice, so whatever. But beyond that, rather than going to one of the many nice colleges here in our state, she is going to a college out-of-state. Not because of the amazing music teacher program it has, but because the campus is nice. Fuck all the beautiful campuses in Virginia, this West Virginia one is totally worth the horrifying out-of-state tuition! And she expects her mom to pay for it, at least partially. I can't wrap my mind around this.

So you're essentially saying we need more MBAs/hedge fund managers and no teachers, simply because teaching doesn't pay well?

So you're essentially saying we need more MBAs/hedge fund managers and no teachers, simply because teaching doesn't pay well? It's sad that college tuition is ludicrously expensive to the point that people have to choose a career based on what gets them out of debt faster.
That is totally 100% exactly what I said. You have the best reading comprehension I've ever seen from anyone ever.
Silly Queen. :P
You never asked that question of me until just now.
And neither is this the thread for it.
Either way, it really depends, now doesn't it? For me, marijuana is one of the least harmful drugs that you can get that is still illegal. Well, in most places.
Yes I did. Previous page, 6th post from the bottom. 12:53:34 AM.
The next person to bring up GMO or weed while others are discussing the Shutdown will get milk tea in their face. Like can you focus on the topic that's at hand? I swear, there is a time and place for those discussion, but people feel the need to bring them up everywhere.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
"Weed" bolded because I see more of that than on Genetically Modified Foods, in fact I've seen nothing on GMOs yet.
I've noticed that a lot of "messianic potheads," as I like to call them, derail practically all political conversations into the War on Drugs and weed.

You mean the one that says "So what about alcohol? Will that remain the same, or will it be controlled like painkillers now?"
Because that isn't quite the same question as "if marijuana should be restricted the same as painkillers, what other recreational drugs should face the same restriction? If none others, what makes pot unique?"
But whichever, really. Also, I really hate having to go through 4 pages of posts.
I hate it when people are unbearably stupid about their college choices. I know a girl who wants to become a music teacher, which we all know is not the best-paying job. Well, it's her choice, so whatever. But beyond that, rather than going to one of the many nice colleges here in our state, she is going to a college out-of-state.

Fuck all the beautiful campuses in Virginia, this West Virginia one is totally worth the horrifying out-of-state tuition! And she expects her mom to pay for it, at least partially.

Question....the fuck is wrong with West Virginia University?
Why can't the girl save her mother tens of thousands of dollars by attending in state? The problem with West VA U is that it's too fucking pretty a campus, apparently ;D. That girl needs to be told she can go where she wants, but if it's out of state, she'll be paying for the tuition difference on her own. I have a sick feeling the mom will cave, though; the kind of self entitled ego this girl exhibits is usually a case of incompetent parenting.

So I told my Mom how I feel that she's treating me like a little kid over Comic con, because both her and my sister don't want me to go by myself. Her response was, "You should be grateful that we care about you, and don't want something bad to happen." Yeah the thing is that I'm 30 fucking years old, and this is a constant thing with her. If my one friend can't go, I'm going by myself, fuck that shit.
My mom and I went to the Verizon store today to have our contacts transferred to our new phones. In the past, this has always been free and taken maybe two minutes. Today? He charged us $20 and it took a couple hours. And he ended up fucking things up anyway. Great guy.
D'ya know what really grinds my gears? When people complain that Black Widow/Agent Romanov is a useless character in The Avengers. She recruited Dr. Banner, beat Loki at his own game (emotional manipulation), fought the motherfucking Hulk, knocked sense back into Barton, fought in New York alongside Captain Rogers, found the Chitori's weakness, closed the Tesseract portal and STILL people say she didn't do anything. Jesus H Christ, people are either stupid, blind, or misogynistic.
This house now contains:
- 5 adults
- 1 baby
- 7 dogs
- 9 cats
Now to the annoying part:
Mom/stepdad have decided that the fall flea season is the perfect time to experiment with natural pet 'remedies', and complain at me that actual meds cost too much. So the animals have been without since August. I'm sure you can imagine the outcome of this experiment.
Our hot water tank has been out of commission for the past two weeks, and no money until this Friday. And the youngest dog chewed through our vacuum cord last week. So come Friday, we get to buy a vacuum, fix the water tank, and buy real flea medicine. I was forced to resort to refusing to clean the cat box until they do. I'm the only one in the house that actually will do that particular job, so now the house stinks and they finally caved on that point. Yes, it isn't fair to the cats but neither is being covered in fleas. I don't have a job, or I'd be running out the door to get it myself.
A flea jumped from me to a classmate today, and there was one I shook off my homework- thank goodness nobody noticed. I was embarrassed enough.
These people are overwhelmingly "TrooFanzTM" of the comic books, who decry any portrayal of a female character in an active, non-fanservice role as "unfaithful to the source material" or even "misandry". A lot of them don't seem to realize that the Silver Age is over.D'ya know what really grinds my gears? When people complain that Black Widow/Agent Romanov is a useless character in The Avengers.

Also is it bad now that I'm in the mood for reading some BlackFrost??
Which oddly enough leads me into my annoyance: people thinking only the gay ships exist and nothing else. I have seen people get really bitchy about the Natasha I rp with being into Black Iron because omfg what about Steve and Tony?
The only MCU ship that I really don't like is Thorki(sorry, the whole semi-incestous stuff kinda kills it for me), though one of the reasons I dislike it is that there is just so much of it, and I try to avoid it for the most part.Yeah, Thorki is freaking everywhere. Even I'm burned out on it. Honestly, I tend to avoid most ships involving Loki because he's such a hard character to write that he's frequently Flanderized one of two ways: either he's a harmless trickster who pulls pranks like stealing the caffiene out of the coffee, or he's an omnicidal lunatic with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
I tend to stick to Pre-Thor Loki fics for the most part, before "the go off the deep end" Loki.

I haven't been sleeping well for the past two weeks and whenever I tell someone in meatspace about it they launch into the usual spiel of 'well I saw you were up last night on that computer of yours' and I just tune everything out afterwards because thanks for belittling me and the ways that I know my body.Yeah, I had some of the same symptoms when I was in the hospital. I'm now on a prescription sleep aid that I take at about the same time every night (not because I have any choice in the matter, but that's a different gripe). Are OTC sleep aids an option?
And when I tell people online I usually get a list of things to help as if I've never thought about it before and I'm not sure if it's my lack of sleep that makes me really annoyed with it or the fact that it happens so much that I'm annoyed with it. People should know me by now to know I don't want suggestions unless I specifically ask for them.
Me not feeling rested after sleeping for x amount of hours is not normal and it isn't because of my Goddamn computer. It's legit sleeping problems that no one seems to believe I have.
For instance, the past few nights I've been getting about 6-8 hours of sleep. If you can call it sleep. I count waking up about 4-5 times each 'sleep' block. Along with that I'm starting to have memory issues and it's kinda scaring me at this point.
I'd say do what I do to irk my mom about my gender identity, but wearing heels and short skirts would probably be counter productive :-/I've been "cross-dressing" for several years out of comfort, but I can still piss her off by using my sister's makeup to give the illusion of smaller eyes and facial hair. Not totally sure it's a good idea, but it's an option.

Nothing special, just the usual delays, cancellations and extremely slow trams. And for some reason, there always seems to be a crash on Burwood Highway, blocking the 75 tram.
And this annoys you?The annoyance comes in when she thinks that, by pretending to cry, she can "cure" my trans-ness. But yeah, she's being a bitch.
Ironbite-I think it's your mom just being a bitch.
At this point i would just strap on a dildo in front of your mom and call it a prototype(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i137/singingfrog23/gif/tumblr_lm4vq8WnXb1qii6tmo1_400.gif?t=1312260521)

I don't understand why they can't just put the length of films in hours and minutes.
My mom keeps talking about how I'm not working, I'm not "contributing to the *~family~*" (because cooking, cleaning, and running errands are only contributions when it's my mom doing them), and how my parents don't have to do jack shit for me after I turn eighteen in six weeks. At the same time, she refuses to let me out of the house for anything besides "go get your younger siblings" or "go to the grocery store and get xyz", and has locked all the computers in the house so that I can't look for a job online. (Why am I able to post here? FQA isn't blocked on mobile, while almost all non-scam job search sites are or might as well be because they're completely unusable. Also, I have no way to post my résumé from mobile, so it's a moot point.) She's desperate for me to do something besides sit on my ass and watch Firefly, yet she's sabotaging me at every turn. All this is while very deliberately using the wrong name and pronouns. That thumping sound is my forehead hitting the nearest wall over and over again.
Well then, quit sitting on your ass watching Firefly.That was supposed to have quotation marks around it, but thanks for the suggestion.
Watch Buffy or Angel instead.

Judicial Watch needs to stop sending me their crackpot anti-Obama letters. The thing is, I can't write a gracious "fuck off" to them since they require you purchase postage to send their own reply letters to them.Then aren't they wasting their money by sending the junkmail to you at the moment? Or are those delivered by hand?
It's sent via USPS. They have increased the amount of conservative crackpot letters since my dad passed Senior Citizen age. And they all beg for money.

Youtube. For some weird reason, occasionally a specific video will end prematurely at a specific time every time I try to watch it (currently, a 24 minute video will just end 42 seconds in every time), and skipping past the proverbial end point just ends the video instantly. I've tried clearing my cache, deleting cookies and even rebooting my computer to empty the RAM, using other browsers and yet nothing helps. The only halfway plausible cause that my Google-fu has turned up is that it's supposedly a server issue on Youtube's end, and all I can do is wait a day or so for them to get their shit together.
Thankfully it doesn't happen very often, but it's still goddamn infuriating when it does.

The same thing happens to me. The only thing I can do is attempt to watch it again later and see if it's done being a cunt.
So, I came home last night and decided I'd bring out the coffee machine so I can prep it for use today. GUESS WHAT?
Someone, I have NO idea who, has taken it upon themselves to completely remove the coffee machine from the fucking house. I went so far as to search both fucking bathrooms and the GARAGE to find it, to no avail. The only other coffee maker in the house is a fucking Keurig-based thing that ONLY takes those fucking K-Cup things, not a regular old paper coffee filter and coffee.
I left a note on our little dry-erase board asking where it went, because that seriously pisses me off. I spent about an hour or so cleaning that thing with boiling water and dish soap. Why? Because, before I got to it, someone had neglected it for SO LONG, and left a used coffee filter in it no less, that it'd grown mold. I disinfected every bit of that thing that I reasonably could without harming the electronics inside. I made sure that every living thing inside it was fucking dead, and then a day or so afterward, made the BEST coffee I'd had in a long time.
I just want my coffee. But, NO. Someone had to be an asshole and remove a coffee pot that had been obviously and meticulously cleaned for seemingly no god damned reason whatsoever. If I have to get my own coffee maker, I'm gonna be pissed.

Yeah, my dad was kind of getting freaked out when I started drifting back and forth, but he said I did good for a first real drive (I'd driven around a parking lot a couple of times previously), and that the important thing was that I didn't hit anything.
I made it about half-way to my house before we had to switch. I still don't have a good handle on parking.
My parents are having an argument again. Sounds like a bad one >.<
Sounds like your little bro is a helluva brave kid. I don't know what I'd have to do if I had to give myself shots.1) I know needles are scary, but the ones he uses are so tiny and thin that if they were phalluses you'd laugh at them out of pity. They're about the length of half a pinky fingernail and the thickness of a cat whisker. The only way they could possibly hurt someone is if one pokes you by surprise because your stupid brother leaves them lying about like a charmingly quickly heroin addict. It's kind of sad, but he's been getting/giving shots since he was six (which is why he gobbles the lion's share of Mother's attention when she's not too busy spewing out-of-context Bible verses and laughing at her nephews on FB) so any drama about it has long since evaporated and been replaced with standard-issue I'm-thirteen-and-therefore-an-angsty-douchebag syndrome.

Yeah, my friends in high school were always more than a little freaked out by my enthusiasm for the annual visit from the Bloodmobile. I've never been scared of needles, not even the bad long ones they use to take blood, and I liked getting service learning credit for sitting still and not freaking out. The other kids, not so much - a girl from my math class fainted and hit her head after just SEEING the needle.Sounds like your little bro is a helluva brave kid.

I like getting needles. There's something novel about having someone casually stab you with metal in public with nobody else caring. And getting my blood taken is fun, especially since I get to watch my blood run through a little plastic tube.

I just really want to punch my computer right now.

My fear of needles and injections was 50% of the reasons why I started giving blood donations (Which reminds me, I should really go donate again this week.)I'm the exact opposite - I have to look at the needle or else it surprises me and makes me freak out. I've had nurses insist I look away even after I explain and then they act like it's my fault for being startled. Fortunately, that doesn't happen very often.
These days it's not so bad, as long as I'm not looking at the needle or the blood flowing through the tube.Though the last time I went there the nurse had a little SNAFU with the needle and I was in pain for a few days. (apparently the needle scratched the insido of the vein or something.)
For some reason, what jumped to my mind reading that post - forgive me for being slightly off-topic - was the segments of Tosh.0 (you know, that show only people who find stuff like PewDiePie's Let's Plays funny, aka "tools") where he would encourage viewers to submit to him a video of you non-consensually tapping your girl's stomach.UUGGHH, Tosh.0 is an abhorrent shitstain on the ass of humanity. Of course, him being a waste of oxygen isn't the problem, of course not, it's the decent people who attack his FREEDOM OF SPEECHTM by saying he's not funny. I saw a video where he made fun of a a guy who tried to lift a heavy weight, dropped it on his head, and started going into convulsions. I'm sorry, but if a layman can reasonably assume that someone has a life-threatening injury from a thirty-second video clip, it's not funny to mock said someone. You're within your rights as a MURRICAN to mock him, but no one is persecuting you by pointing out how callus and unfunny you are.
And also why Daniel Tosh is an abhorrent piece of shit, to be listed when I get this novelty notebook "People I Want To Punch in the Face".
I barely know of his existence, to be honest. If he stopped the rape jokes, good. Unless he only did it to get people off his back, then, well. Nothing to be done, really. lmfao
This holiday isn't even a thing in my country
Almost all of the webshows/Youtube channels I follow are doing some sort of Halloween themed nonsense. This holiday isn't even a thing in my country and it's almost as goddamn annoying as Christmas.
I'm starting the long, arduous process on getting my name legally changed. Let me write a haiku about it:
Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
Shit shit shit shit shit shit shit
HERE'S A FIRE - PLEASE DIE
I've always pronounced "fire" with one syllable. Maybe it's a regional thing.I'm starting the long, arduous process on getting my name legally changed. Let me write a haiku about it:

Most of my friends smoke, so I don't mind cigarette smoke. In fact, I kind of enjoy it.
The lingering odor though is just awful... especially when it's on someone's breath.

Apparently there's a virus/hacker/thing going around on Tumblr.
Cigarette smoke triggers an asthmatic-like reaction in me. Always has, since I was a kid... and Dad thought I was just making shit up because "he had a window cracked open, the smoke couldn't POSSIBLY be getting to me." Even after the doctor told him to stop doing this because of the aforementioned reason. (He also doesn't believe we can smell the cigarette smoke wafting down the stairs when he leaves the door open. Of course, since he's so used to it, he can't smell it as well as we can.)
So waking up coughing is not fun.
Oh yeah, not to mention the fact that I'm getting nicotine in my veins, getting that dark shit covering the inside of my lungs... yeah, I really fucking hate second hand smoke, and I fucking hate that Dad doesn't take it seriously.

Oh yeah, not to mention the fact that I'm getting nicotine in my veins, getting that dark shit covering the inside of my lungs... yeah, I really fucking hate second hand smoke, and I fucking hate that Dad doesn't take it seriously.
Would I be right in guessing he thinks it goes out the window when he's in the car, too?
^Thank you!
Glad I'm not the only one. This is exactly why I always think "you lot thoroughly deserve it" whenever I hear an American complaining about their media being flooded with drivel about the English royal family.
I don't see why people have such an aversion to a holiday where you get free shit just for ringing a doorbell and wearing a costume of something you like.
It's just cosplaying with extra incentive/reward.
Gurl, you don't need an excuse.
I don't see why people have such an aversion to a holiday where you get free shit just for ringing a doorbell and wearing a costume of something you like.That only works if you're under the age of 12. That said, the point is that it's really grating to be hearing about it incessantly for several weeks straight when you don't actually celebrate it in the first place due to not being American.

People like to have fun. I mean, dressing up in costumes is also fun, even if it's just for parties.
Hilariously, the fact that everything annoys you is annoying to me.

No doubt. The point is that for people who don't do it, constantly hearing about it is very irritating.
I would imagine you and everyone else take a similar attitude to, say, Australia Day or any other foreign holiday, were you to have it incessantly shoved in your face for two weeks straight. If you can't see how that can annoy any reasonable person, well, I really don't know what to tell you.
Well, you are willingly reading my posts in a thread about things that annoy you. In light of that, it's kind of hard to muster up any sympathy for you on that front.
I don't think a reasonable person would be annoyed by other people celebrating a secular holiday.I don't mean Americans celebrating it. I mean every internet site you go on being covered in Australian flags and pictures of kangaroos and beer cans, and every web show you watch having Australia Day themed nonsense. All this going on for the two weeks or so leading up to the day itself. You don't celebrate it. No one in your country celebrates it or care if anyone else does. The same goes for everyone you know and pretty much everyone in your country. However, you're still hearing about it over and over and over again. That's annoying. Very much so.
As far as Australia Day goes, I'd be confused as to why Americans are celebrating it, but I wouldn't mind it.
I read this thread for other people's annoyances, which tend to be more reasonable, entertaining, and less "I HATE EVERYTHING". Yours just happen to be in the way of the stuff I enjoy reading.So... Don't read my posts if they're that offensive to you? I did say just say that, didn't I? If you really can't help yourself, this forum does have a block function. Just use that. In fact, why are you even responding to me? You know that's only going to make me write more oh so terrible posts of mine that wouldn't otherwise have existed, right?
I don't think Australia Day is even a very good comparison; if this was a discussion about Australians not wanting to celebrate the Fourth of July, sure. But Halloween is not only a secular holiday, but one that takes practically zero effort to cross cultural boundaries.Not the point. The point is that Halloween is not, for whatever reason, a thing over here. It doesn't matter why or why not, the point is that it's not celebrated over here. Therefore, the entire internet not shutting up about it for several weeks straight is goddamn annoying for an Australian such as myself who doesn't give a flying fuck about it.
All of the above will be far more effective than simply complaining to me about it. This thread's called Things That Annoy You, not Things That Annoy You and are Approved by Magus Silveresti. I shall post things that annoy me as I see fit, and you'll just have to deal with it.
Also, his passive aggressive commentary about "Things That Annoy You and Are Approved By Magus Silveresti" leads me to believe that he thinks I'm trying to censor his opinion. If he meant otherwise, then perhaps he should have been clearer.
Things that
Actually, he does tend to post his annoyances everywhere. But I'm not going to stop him from doing that, either, because his annoyances are generally on topic with whatever he's posting about.So, you're not going to do something that you can't do in the first place, eh? Gee, thanks. I'm sure I'll sleep better at night.
If he doesn't want me responding to him, well... tough shit. Same for the other way around, I don't have the right to stop him from responding to me....The fuck?! I said that if my posts offend you so much that they're "in the way of stuff I enjoy reading", then whining to me about it will only generate more oh-so horrible posts of mine as I respond to you. I really don't mind you responding it me. In fact, I welcome it. Between this and the fact that you thought (and probably still do, I'll wager) that my initial annoyance was with Halloween itself existing and not simply the internet not shutting up about it, I have to say, your absolutely abysmal reading comprehension is one of the few sources of entertainment left around here, what with the forums steadily dying and all.
Also, his passive aggressive commentary about "Things That Annoy You and Are Approved By Magus Silveresti" leads me to believe that he thinks I'm trying to censor his opinion. If he meant otherwise, then perhaps he should have been clearer.Nah, censoring implies that you can actually do anything about it. Impotently whining, then pulling a complete 180 (that would make even the most seasoned politician proud) when called on it is a little more how I'd describe it.

Hey, you're the one that launched a defensive rant when I made a funny little statement about how I find it annoying how easily you get annoyed. Everything after that has been me conversing with you.If by "conversing", you mean "complaining about me posting and other unrelated nonsense all while the initial point goes flying over your head", then yes, yes you were. You want to tell me again why I'm wrong for hating Halloween itself and saying people shouldn't celebrate it, even though I never said that in the first place, Captain Comprehension? Or how about when I never said that I don't want you responding to me? I think we should hear you address that point I never made once again.
The only 180 I can see here is ... well I was hoping I would come up with something clever and witty but it didn't happen. Suffice it to say, you got rather butthurt over it, accused me of being offended (srsly, I ain't even offended) and are now accusing me of doing a 180. Cute. Really cute. Does that kind of projection take training or does it come naturally to you?I'm butthurt too, am I? How exactly did you come up with that notio... Oh, right.
One day removed from Halloween and our store already has Christmas crap up. What's worse is we already have people in the Christmas spirit, getting more pissed off than normal over stupid shit. I'm dreading the day after November, when they start playing Christmas music NON FUCKING STOP!
I was also tempted to start a, "Rant about the holidays," thread but I figured it was too early.

Personally, I think it should be illegal for shops to advertise any holiday themed stuff until the month that it's in.

They could always exploit other cultures holidays instead. There's only 12 months in a year, so it's can't be that hard to find a holiday for each one.

Yes. Usually a woman buying a car for her man.

Well, I guess it depends on the situation. If you take out a giant loan to cover the cost, then that's in your name so it's technically you who should be making the payments. But since so many married couples have joint bank accounts, the money's being taken from both the giver and receiver. So it basically fucks over everyone.
I have a pretty major cyst right at the top of my ass crack. The bloody thing makes sitting down way more painful than it has any right to be, and no matter how hard I jab it with scissors, it just wont pop.
Then again I have a dissecting kit sitting around from my old biology labs. Perhaps a scalpel razor will do the trick?

They're already putting up Grinchmas decorations at Islands of Adventure. Starting yesterday, they had many of the HHN store displays removed and only the bare minimum to keep selling merchandise for the last weekend.
For years now, you have spoken about the "War on Christmas" as if it were a bad thing. However, just today I went into my local Costco, and I was shocked to see Christmas decorations for sale nearly three months in advance. The Christmas season is being stretched out way too far. I don't hate Christmas. I love Christmas. But I also love Halloween and Thanksgiving. So until such time as the Christmas season starts at a reasonable time, I will have to count myself as a supporter of the War on Christmas.

I saw that on Saturday as the store with packed with people stocking up for the FL/GA game. One old lady asked me whether I was cheering for either the Bulldogs or Gators. When I said I don't watch football, her eyes went wide, she covered her mouth, and then asked, "How can you live here (N FL) and NOT like football???"
When I answered, "It's not like it's a real sport like hockey," she literally grabbed the cross around her neck, gaped at me like I had just burned down a church, and cautiosly but quickly walked away.

Jesus christ, mum, haven't I told you that the wall between my and your room is paper thin? Meaning I can hear EVERYTHING going on during your and Darren's sexy times? I mean for god's sake.
My little sister has decided that being a mom gives her the right to be a dictatorial bitch. She had another 'meltdown' a couple days ago because I wasn't helping her enough with the housework. For the record, I was doing math homework, and after I finished that I cleaned the cat box, mopped, vacuumed, made dinner and cleaned the kitchen, fed all the pets, then did my laundry. It's a small house, so that's like half of the housework. Having finished my allotted share of housework for the day I derped around the internet. What were her chores that day? Cleaning the bathroom (a fifteen minute job) and baby care, assisted by mom and our older sister. She started a ten minute tirade with "Oh my God! Maybe you don't know this but when they say having a baby changes everything they mean it!" and ended with "You never do anything around here!"
To which I wish I could have responded that I am not responsible for her pregnancy and only responsible for the baby when nobody else is available, and that she had no right to lecture the girl who always got in trouble when her sister was a lying, thieving delinquent for the past six years for 'not stopping her' or 'not helping her through a tough time' (Is that my job? No, and if I did try to get her to behave I got in trouble for upsetting or stifling her. Seriously.) about responsibility because I'd already had to deal with the consequences of her actions for the past several years, and the only thing having a baby changed is that now the only reaction I can have to her weekly 'nervous breakdowns' is stony silence, because saying anything will get me yelled at even more for being 'unsupportive'. Yes, I'm so unsupportive I drove her to her ultrasounds and continue to drive her to the pediatrician. I'm so unsupportive I helped her with the WIC paperwork, which again should have been mom/stepdad's job.
People wonder why I go out of my way to not interact with her. She does this when people don't do what she wants, even before she got pregnant. But if I point it out, I'm the bitch? Even if I point out the times she's done it to other family, friends, etc? I don't need to be ranted at like I'm in boot camp on a weekly basis just because I won't do her chores.
People that buy some of the larger species of birds without thinking about their situations.
They get rehomed so much. I'm looking at this parrot rescue centre adoption page. Half of these are cockatoos. People dont think about their long lifespan, noise and massive psychological needs to be healthy
They are very attention-wanting birds. Usually I think twice when someone offers to give me any kind of psittaciform. Sometimes they're hand-me-down birds. I love them, but my days of having them are over, I think. I can like, pet, and play with other's birds just the same.I'm like that with reptiles. I used to have a hand-me-down bearded dragon that was the most time-consuming animal I'd ever dealt with. I'll happily coo over your python/dragon/baby alligator/what have you, but you can hang on to it thank you very much.

I work at Target now as a cashier, and every day I get a few customers using WIC. This doesn't bother me, but apparently it's an invitation for other customers to generally treat someone like dirt. I had that happen today with a teenage girl & her baby (who had significantly darker skin than his mom) and one of the nastiest people I've ever met. This particular oxygen thief was an older lady in an expensive coat who snarled at me, snarled at her, snarled at the baby, spouted all sorts of racist epithets, and threw a fit when she refused to thank her for paying her taxes. The teenager was close to tears when the whole ordeal was over, and the only thing I could do was make a big show of calling her "ma'am" while refusing to address the older lady at all. I suppose that's retail, but what I'd give to be able to punch that lady in the face.

You know what's a bad idea? Taking a "fuck that" sort of approach to the recommended dosage of cough syrup. While it does help with the cough and sore throat somewhat, it makes walking in a straight line and not whacking your shins on every piece of nearby furniture somewhat challenging.
It is certainly a tad trippy, though. I have to give it that. Really breaks up the monotony of being sick.
Youtube's new comment layout is ass.Just when you thought Youtube comments couldn't get much worse, now they're laid out in the most asinine way possible, force you to use Google+ in order to keep that shitty Facebook clone on life support and are now full of fucking hashtags of all things.
Why does it default to top comments instead of newest comments? Why the fuck would I want to know which comments are popular first? It's going to take me at least a month to get used to this...

Unless it's industrial strength prescription stuff or a shared supply, I usually just take a swig straight from the bottle, mostly because being sick makes me incredibly lazy.
Yeah, but you don't have to pee standing up. That's where the impeded motor skills really screw you over.
And now I'm forced to wonder what sort of reason there could be for having to pee standing up. Psychological block? A misplaced sense of penis pride? Joining a cult with unusually specific bathroom rules?
Besides, I'm taking more like 1/3 of the bottle at once.

Once again, I have a pretty strong crush on a very close friend and I have no fucking clue what I should do about it. Should I tell him and risk ruining the only decent friendship I have or keep my trap shut and obsess about what could be/could have been? Add this to the fact that he just ended a serious (to him) relationship and I'm in serious need of advice. For context: we've known each other since we were kids (six or seven), he's bisexual, and completely unaware of my crush on him. I had to point out that I no longer had any busy to speak of when I came out - and I'm a 38DD. He really is that oblivious.

Know what would be handy? If testing high enough in certain categories meant you could get credit for it and skip ahead. Like, you test so high in Subject A that you can skip all of freshman and half of sophomore-level Subject, you'd be able to just jump into the one you still need. Obviously if you want a degree or certificate you'd have to take some actual classes (because that's how universities work, and some stuff you can't do without that kind of training) but I wonder how many people could get through college with less debt if this was allowed?
Some Ivy League universities are already making some free online classes- the way I see it a dedicated person mastering some subject on their own, getting credit for them, and paying for as-needed classes could get their diploma at far less cost.

I've actually been told I'm terrible for saying I don't want kids; seriously, it's not like I'm going around to the people talking about how they hope to conceive/not miscarry this time and going "hahaha, glad I'm not you!".
Can I hug you? I have PCOS and I'm quite glad that it comes with infertility. I've gotten the whole "You'll change your mind about kids" thing a million times, and people saying I must be heartless for not wanting a little bundle of joy. Right, I'll change my mind about having a little screaming shit machine because it's so joyous...gotcha.
I hate when I don't like someone but everyone else seems to absolutely adore them. So I have to see that person everywhere and hear people talk about them like the sun shines out their ass.

What's worse is when friends do it and you're sitting there with proof that said person is a complete asshole but you also don't want to show them the proof because it shouldn't be on you to do that kind of thing. You can't control who your friends like.
Feels bad, man.
I have nothing against vegans/vegetarians in general, but I get annoyed by the ones who call meat-eaters "murderers", claim that humans are actually herbivorous and that any animal product was produced by the cruelest methods possible...even when such methods could actually be less efficient than more humane methods.
And I'm especially pissed of by the idea that meat-eaters are basically Human Nazis oppressing Animal Jews.
This type of vegan/vegetarian seems to be highly inclined to appealing to emotion and ignoring scientific facts. Okay, sure, I don't mind if you have a moral objection, and again, I have nothing against vegans/vegetarians in general...but for god's sake, do you have to be a fundie about it?

Ironbite-THINK ABOUT IT SHEEPLE!
I injured my knee in a skiing accident when I was twelve or so and it makes standing for long periods of time extremely painful. It's all swollen and I can't bend or straighten it all the way. According to my mom (who was not invited to this conversation), if I take painkillers or ask for a different assignment I'll get fired right before the holiday rush.
It's ant season where I live, which means the whole back yard is a bloody minefield of the little buggers.
At...at least it ain't spider season. Finding spiders the SIZE OF MY HEAD on my pillow makes for fun times.
Oh yeah, I've been meaning to ask you Ozzies: Do you all still have a bad fire ant problem down there, or are you beating them back somehow? If you are, please tell us your secret. Every year when it gets warm it seems more and more mounds pop up around my house, and while I dust the mounds, the neighbors never seem to give a shit, and their ants eventually expand their territories to here and here we go all over again.
Now I know why their scientific name contains the word "Invictus". Unconquered indeed...

The size of your head!
I'm so glad I don't get spiders that big.
Put a locket in your pocket, takin this one to the grave <3
Was it one of those that carries her eggs in a big webbing ball behind her? Or was it the same kind, but later that actually has her baby spiderlings in a ball on her back?
EDIT: I must confess I always thought both were kind of cute. Scorpions carrying their young-uns too.
The worst part about our local spiders is that the Brown Recluse looks very similar at a glance to the common Giant House Spider, especially if you haven't got your contacts in yet. As much as people complain about not leaving the latter alive to clean up pests, it really is safer to just kill any brown-looking spiders in Florida before they get you.
Also, I love how inadvertently racist that sounds.
Windows, stop trying to make Windows 8.1 happen, I am not interested.

Bitchy aunt somehow got my new phone number and keeps trying to tell me to get mom to call her (my suspicion: she raided her niece's purse and got it from her phone. She's a purse-raider, mom's had money and pain meds go missing back when she used to visit).
No effing way, lady, you don't get to leave several weeks worth of nasty messages on our phones, have your grandsons make threatening calls, getting relatives, even the ones from out-of-state, involved in this gigantic pile of shit, call my sister-in-law at all hours (she is already constantly busy with the PEHO baby), vandalize our car and then cut off all contact, and then a year and a half later suddenly want to talk to us again.
Why does she want back in touch with us so badly?
A sick relative? Genuine remorse?
No. Her big, important reason...
She's supposedly too poor to buy her grandsons an XBox One and a PS4, and wants us to help her with Christmas shopping.

You're not the only who adopts the 'be an asshole to me I'll be an asshole in return' way of doing things. Sometimes it actually accomplishes getting the other guy to realize he's being an asshole.

I accidentally crashed the Minecraft server on which I play yesterday...don't mix MFR machines a Mekanism universal cables, kids!
I work at my local geology museum, and this one lady showed up yesterday. She claimed that quartz crystals could store more memory than most computers, and that was why ancient civilizations carved skulls out of them. Also, that "giant quartz wheels" were used as an energy source by ancient civilizations to power some kind of helicopter-like craft.Somebody needs to stop watching science fiction while waiting for the meds to kick in. But the claim about the plesiosaurs reminds me of the time I went swimming in Lake Michigan in the middle of April, and I was the only person in the water for more than five minutes.
It didn't end there. Upon seeing our fossil plesiosaur skeleton, she claimed that a friend of hers had seen a family of living plesiosaurs on Lake Michigan and that another friend of hers had seen a live pterosaur in Vietnam (his native guide reportedly pointed up and said the local term for "DANGER!" at the time).

Even better, I seem to have borked the map! Thankfully, I believe one of our more ingenious players has a tool that can edit a map's contents directly outside of Minecraft. With any luck, they'll be able to do just that and nix the lava fabricator, thus fixing the error right up.

Oh yeah, one big things that annoys me, politically.
The inability for a lot of conservatives (and some liberals) to realize that poverty drives people to crime, therefore, FIGHT POVERTY. Make sure poor people don't have to stay poor. Make sure that those who can't support themselves have support. Use the government to do this because the people sure as hell don't care.
There are countries with low poverty that have actually been able to close prisons because, guess what, they don't have enough criminals to put in them!
Right now, America is going to eventually collapse under its own weight if it keeps increasing poverty while increasing the paychecks of the 1%.

Did you ask her why we don't use quartz crystals to store memory?
If that thing had bitten me, it could've been a bloody redback and I'd be in ER right now. Can't take a shower without risking life or limb.
My country is ridiculous.
Speaking of which, this happened about two years ago:
Me: *steps out of shower*
Five-inch-long centipede: Hi there!

There was that one time I woke up laying on top of the covers to see a spider gliding from ceiling directly onto my crotch.
That was fun.
I tend not to mind critters that I know have legitimate medical uses like maggots and leeches. I won't go out of my way to be near one, but they don't trigger my Dalek sensibilities. That would be roaches. EXTERMINATE ALL ROACHES!
There are better alternatives now when it comes to removing dead tissue from a living person... Though some do still prefer the bug option.
As disgusting and creepy as certain animals are, my least favorite has to be the mosquito. Even though centipedes, roaches, etc. look creepier, at least they just mind their own business and don't go around stabbing me with their jaws all the time.
My hatred of mosquitos borders on irrational, yet...
Even more so than the deadly viruses and bacteria themselves, mosquitos are the deadliest animals on Earth from being the main
vector of pathogen spread. They have caused the death of more animals and humans combined than any other cause since life
began, including the several major extinction events.

Have they specifically checked his liver function?
I know that feel, bro. Every time I get dragged into some social function where I'm introduced by my birth name, I get asked about my relationship status and the projected timeline for squeezing a screaming infant out of my snatch. I try to deflect with humor ("Never. I have younger siblings; I know better") or questioning my ability to care for a kid ("I can't even keep virtual goldfish alive for more than a few days and you want to entrust me with a baby?")
The thing that really gets under my skin is when my maternal aunts say things like "oh, I felt the same way when I was (age), you'll grow out of it." Because making informed choices about my body is obviously just a silly phase girls go though on their way to becoming baby factories. Even if I wasn't queer, I wouldn't have kids (at least not biological ones). You wanna know why? Because there is a very high chance of my uterus falling out of my goddamn body, and it increases with every living shit-machine that falls out of my snatch. It's happened to my mother (who had a full hysterectomy at 39) and two of her sisters (one of which had her uterus just fall out two days before her surgery, she went into shock and could have bled to death.) And that's just one possible thing that could go wrong for me. We're not even talking about the predisposition towards cardiovascular disease and mental illness that runs in my family.
TL;DR version: if you have a problem with me (or anyone else) not reproducing, fuck you.
My Southern is showing, but a really good disinfectant is to just apply Jack Daniels to the wound. That's what my parents would do with infections and I turned out just fine.

Mlle, I hope you already went to ER. The hand is inflamed like that because of fighting an infection. If you don't go in, you may end up seeing those tell-tale curly streaks of skin discoloration from severe infection, gangrene. A cat's teeth are filthy and coated with bacteria. He injected that into your hand with the bite.
NEVER just ignore an animal bite and hope that it goes away. That's one of the best ways to get yourself a severe infection, the likes of which you have never seen.
Until the "seventeen years" bit, I could have sworn you were talking about my old high school. Do stupid, arbitrary graduation requirements and a guidance counselor who walks on water and craps dark matter sound familiar to you? How about expecting a senior to have all missed work completed on the day of return after a three-week hospitalization due to mental health crisis (read: suicide attempt)? What about letting favorites with pretty smiles and inflated GPAs physically attack the imperfect with no real repercussions?
McDonalds seems to have gotten far more expensive and far less filling over the last couple of years. Used to be I could buy a large meal for just under $7 and that'd fill me right up. Now, the same meal costs almost $10 and leaves me still very hungry. This makes me very sad.

Have gas prices gone up a lot in Australia? There might be a connection there with the price.
As for the lack of fulfillment... your stomach might be growing.

A pro-Palestine blog I follow on Tumblr has been stalked and doxxed and rabid pro-Zionists. I am worried he will close down or something if he gets threatened.

Is Tumblr totally shite when it comes to responding to harassment complaints? If he's US based, any threats can be reported to the Feds, and I think that doxxing him is a federal code violation, too, as it is now.

... I can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with Ironchew. Yes, I realize that smoking is bad (mmkay), but saying "you shouldn't/can't smoke EVAH it's INSTANTLY ADDICTIVE you'll getpregnantlung cancer and DIE broke and alone" makes me want to smoke half a pack in half an hour just to say "fuck you". I kind of regret bringing this up in the first place. Can we please drop it?
This - what you are doing right now - is actively harmful. It does not encourage smokers to quit, in fact, it encourages just the opposite.
Okay, seriously, chitoryu, Queen?

Okay, now I seriously regret bringing this up. Can we please drop it before it becomes a petty flame war? Or is it too late, and we're just going to yell at each other until we lose interest?Yeah, everyone. Just let it be. I'm requesting this as a fellow member, hence no red text, so... If anyone wants to make an anti-smoking thread feel free, however don't go dragging anyone here into it by naming names. That way those who want to ignore it, can.
I'm already sick of winter and it technically hasn't even started yet.
True, that's why I said "as long as I don't have to smell it". Though I suppose "keep your second hand smoke to yourself" or some such would've been clearer.

I cleaned this post up a lot Zachski. I made one post, because I'm not going to sit idly or join a stupid circle jerk. Just like I won't join a stupid circle jerk about guns, otherkin, ITGs, what-have-you. I know smokers; most of my family and friends smoke. I warned him and when he expressed his discontent about warnings, I left it alone. You called me out afterwards.
So, back off. Cause I've said this before, you're aggressive to people you dislike, and it's showing.

What is it about Skyrim that brings out the racists, misogynists, libertarians, and paranoid conservative Christians?
And why does it seem like they all unerringly think the Stormcloaks are righteous warriors of independence, and that if you don't support them, you're not patriotic? (I'm not exaggerating, I had someone tell me that because I don't support the Stormcloaks, I probably would've supported Britain in the Revolutionary War)

That is kind of a dick move.

Besides, I just wanted a decent, recent placeholder for the Avatar To Come.
Me on games like this, I just try to ally with whomever I can to make sure that things turn out as best they can and try to do the right thing.
Yay, Neutral Good!
I maintain such a limited understanding of Celsius, I just assume that anything about 20 is hot enough to roast flesh and anything below 10 is making your nipples freeze and fall off, and leave it at that.

Finnish independence day was yesterday and turns out that there was a rather big riot dowtown because of it. It was already rare enough that rather than have the president's independence party in the capital it was at Tampere (where I live) but, though it is not uncommon for there to be some protest against the celebration (mostly complaints about it being for the rich and powerful only etc.) this time the protest turned violent.
Mostly just mindless anarchism, complaints about fascists and the occasional drunken moron. The thing that annoys me the most is that any legimite point against the goverment can be raised rather freely in Finland without this type of violence. Had the protest been peaceful they might have actually raised some discussion about their agenda but now we just have some morons complaining about the police being a bunch of pussies for not opening fire at the rioters while others are complaining that the police are fascists who have attacked innocent protesters and that only the police agitators did anything violent.
No one talks about WHY these people wanted to make a protest.
Bah.
Gonna put on my OWS-tested tinfoil hat for a second here...
Is it really that easy to turn public opinion against protesters, to the point that they start complaining that the police didn't shoot at them? If so, I wouldn't be surprised if the powers that be installed a few provocateurs in the crowd to mess with the whole non-violent plan.

My brother and I had a huge collection of NES games until my brother's friend's older sister and her boyfriend broke into our place and stole most of them, but Big Nose was one of the few games the assholes missed. Thus, I ended up playing it endlessly until we got a newer system.

Take off the tank lid and look at the float shut off valve mechanism. Depending on what year it was made, you can either raise the float cup by turning it counter clockwise on the riser pipe, or bend the metal rod to make the float bulb higher. This will increase the amount of water per flush slightly, which will weigh more, and will create a faster, stronger siphoning action in the bowl when you flush the toilet.
At least he added a comma, otherwise it'd have been simply "we rock peeps," which implies that we rock those little, marshmallow chicks. Which, incidentally, are delicious.

As I recall, after wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone, the ranchers there decided they would solve their problems via "shoot, shovel, and shut up" regardless of the law.
Yeah, if something is overpopulated (even wolves and other pretty animals), there has to be a cull, otherwise everyone suffers. Pretty much if you spot a wild pig in GA, you're encouraged to kill it, if you have the means to do so. Good thing I like wild pig meat.
Humans are overpopulated. We should all develop a taste for long pig.

My friend is going to lose his health insurance in Jan because he can't afford it (along with his medication). Also, he doesn't qualify for Medicade because our wonderful governor decided to make it optional. I'm trying to figure out what he can do, if anything, since Macdonalds where he works only offers it for PT workers.
Why not the female hero gets the girl?
Never got the restrictions, myself...I mean, from a purely logical standpoint of the amount of work required to achieve the task, having restrictions on in-game romance would mean one extra check. Yeah, not having it might mean extra dialogue being made, but when it comes to the code itself, it'd take more to be exclusionary.
Besides, they did it with the Bath House in Ultima VII Part I...in 1992. You'd think that, after over 20 years, there would be a game that'd do it outside Fable. Then again, this is only to the best of my knowledge, so take that into consideration.

It's funny that you mention that one extra check because that is how people 'unlock' the romances that are not available to the sex/gender you're playing as. At least that's how it is done for Mass Effect. And the dialogue doesn't necessarily need to change because it fits either way. You just end up not having actual audio for the player character during romance scenes. And Dragon Age made it so that every romanceable character is bisexual.
I feel that way a lot too. I think that all I am is just an annoyance going around spouting stuff nobody cares about anyway. I often believe that there really is no point of me even existing at times.

And to make matters worse, almost no one uses Shadowknight outside of the Everquest community... so you can't even succeed at THAT.

Just pick up the phone and start yelling the C-word (not calling her that, but just saying it in general). I've noticed Americans are fearful of that...Like how they say "the c-word" instead of just saying "cunt" like a normal person? Yeah, I was just beginning to notice that, myself.

It's because you're reducing a woman to her genitalia, so it's pretty much.. worse than "fuck", actually.
On the other hand, "Dick", despite being the same thing, is actually more acceptable than "fuck" because male privilege.
Basically, it's better to be called a dick than a cunt. Yay patriarchy.

Patriarchy? You seriously think men get this bent out of shape over making the mention of female genitalia an insult?
If anything, the lack of a comparable insult for male genitalia only indicates that this kind of competition does not exist between men.
And I admire the fact you can come in here and say 274 things and not one of them have any form of sense.
Magus, I admire your ability to totally miss the point of what I was saying.

They end up insufferable because people today don't know how to parent. They either let their child do whatever they want, or they bully them into submission, which makes them bully other kids into submission.
"Positive Reinforcement" is not code for "Spoil Them Rotten" dammit!
I know kids that aren't like that at all. I still blame the parents.

I lost my job, which is bad, but the how and why of it is what pisses me off. It went something like this: I was working cashier, which is not a bad gig if you can ignore the assholes, when the cig-snatching, cissexist, dirty old man of a manager calls me into his office. I signal for somebody to cover me and follow him, then he closes the door and asks me why I'm here. I respectfully answer that i'd hoped he would tell me, at which point he said I was accused of gross misconduct in the form of internal theft, for the amount of $175. That was the point where it dawned on me: he wanted me out, and this wasn't a power struggle I had any hope of winning. So, I retreated into my favorite defense mechanism, which happens to be Jeff "Joker" Moreau-level snark. My response to his accusation was a dry "Is that so? Huh, I guess that means that I can put gas in my gas tank and food in my pets' dishes. Thank you for informing me of my newfound illicit windfall, but I've got just one teensy question: if I stole $175, where is it?" He floundered and sputtered, clearly expecting me to cry and beg for my job or even utter the immortal phrase "please, I'll do anything", but I was having none of his listen-here-missy bullshit. He called in my team lead, who basically said "I know he's lying but he calls the shots around here, sorry, here's your last paycheck, have a nice life." So because I had the audacity to ask for my legally-obtained cigarettes back and because I didn't offer to let him facefuck me in exchange for dropping the bullshit charges, I'm out on my ass with a few hundred dollars in cash and a unearned criminal record. FUCK
Criminal record? Did you actually steal anything?
If you didn't steal anything and didn't get charged with a crime, I don't think you'd have a record.

Eeesh... Yeah... Widow spiders more than likely won't kill a healthy adult, but boy, will it ruin several days of their life. Sorry that happened, mate. Drink lots of fluids if you can. Try to flush the venom from your blood as quickly as you're able. Until then... sit tight and pamper yourself.
Note: I say this as a person who has to pay out the nose for any medical treatment. If I lived in Oz, and it hurt really bad, I'd go to the ER and maybe get something to counteract the venom making your days easier.
Of course, if he tries to get you charged, then he's likely fucked, because he prolly has great fuck all for evidence.
Well, it's good you got seen to. Feeling any better now? I don't expect you do too much, as I've been bitten by a Widow before (but I couldn't afford a doctor bill) but, eventually things get better.
That stress vomiting though, Hof... anything you'd like to get off your chest? If you'd prefer to keep mum, that's okay, but sometimes venting/talking about what's stressing you helps.
Nope. My dad even spelled out how many times I'd be able to show up uninvited (once) before he'd shoot me for trespassing. (Guess whose side they took?) I don't want to go to my brother because he's got his own shit, and I don't really have any friends close enough (geographically and emotionally) to stay with them. If I believed in the type of deity(s) who gave signs and signals in the form of life events, I'd take this as a sign to get the hell out of Dodge and stay away for a good long while. Right now, any money that's not going into my gas tank is going towards a plane ticket to anywhere else.
The good news is that there are no fans of Attack on Titan on these forums that I know of, so I'm safe to say it:
Update/clarification: I was charged with misdemeanor theft by the manager's Friend on the Force (who seemed to be a Brennan-level shitlord from the ten minutes or so I talked to him), the manager has great fuck all for evidence (that I saw, anyway), the legal battle happens in February, and I'm out on my ass if I can't find a new job in three months/whenever it gets warm depending on which happens first. Considering most places are dumping their seasonal workers I'm looking at the very real possibility of spending some chilly spring nights on a park bench/fire escape/dark corner/wherever I feel safest. Yes, yes, there are shelters, but the ones I've heard about are NOT good places for a trans* person to turn his/her/xir back.

It's so ungodly hot and humid at the same time. Trying to sleep caked in my own sweat, even with a misting fan running at full blast nearby, is about as much fun as you'd imagine it to be. I can see a very tired, irritable and sweaty me being a thing for the rest of the summer. Fucking brilliant.

The misting fan may be hurting more than helping if it's already humid. The coolness is supposed to come from the water evaporating, but when it's too humid, there's no evaporation so the water just sits there and gets hot along with you and your sweat and you steam like broccoli.
Mayhaps try turning off the mist?

I've probably mentioned this before, but the word "demon" bugs me. Why? Because I grew up with it being spelled as "daemon," making the alternate, more common, spelling look completely wrong while most spell checkers mark the Latin spelling (my spelling) as wrong, as well as getting a point or two docked for spelling when I was in school because the teacher didn't know of said Latin spelling.

Nowadays, daemon and demon refer to different things (in connotation, at least). "Daemon" is usually used to refer to the original Greek concept of a benign or neutral spirit, as opposed to the Christianised concept of all demons as evil.

I may be a member of "Loki's Resistance" but I'm not as much as a hardcore fan as I've seen on tumblr, which a good deal of them like to hate Thor or Jane. Seriously, they don't deserve hate, in my opinion(though it's ok if you hate on Odin, he's just a all around douche).

I wrote a fic for Bowser x Mario once just to see if I could.Well, look on the bright side. At least you haven't been kidnapped by Kathy Bates.
Never again. Never. Again.
The worst part?
It's the most popular thing I have ever written or will ever write in my life.

So I can handle my mum not flushing the toilet when she pees, I guess. But it's not so fun when she's on her period.*incoherent screaming*

I never heard Doctor Who fans called anything other than "Whovians". Try being a member of one with no fandom nickname for fans, Star Wars is a good example.

If it's brown, flush it down. If it's yellow, let it mellow!
If it's red you see, make it go downsie?
All the Dr. Who avatars are beginning to annoy me. It's becoming more obsessive a fad than the bronies.Dr Who, Mass Effect and My Little Pony. Possibly the unholy trinity of utterly insufferable fanfucks on the internet. Maybe throw in the Loki fangirls if you really want to up the potency.

Though in all fairness, I don't mind the avatars so much. In fact, Dr Who fans tend to be pretty well behaved around here. Plenty of avatars, yet no ungodly Dr Who related gushing in various threads that other people have to wade through, which is more than can be said for the other two.
All that said, fandoms in general annoy me greatly. Whatever happened to the idea of simply liking something without having to incessantly broadcast it to people who don't give a shit?
So I can handle my mum not flushing the toilet when she pees, I guess. But it's not so fun when she's on her period.Put a paper in the bathroom and mark date+time every time you find an unflushed toilet (are more people in the household? might then be difficult to prove culpability). If that alone doesn't suffice, start not flushing after you take a dump, and when she complains, point to the list.

Hey, at least we use different characters/Doctors. We're that nice, ya know. :p
Back on the CWCki, I spent months with a Pinkie Pie version of the Repo! avatar I currently use. It started with a spate of changes to MLP avatars as part of a forum-wide running gag regarding the brony population, and I maintained it afterward purely because it made people irrationally, enormously mad to see it.
When some people at /cwc/ doxxed me, they legit thought I was a brony.

Not surprising. As a former lurker on /cwc/, I remember they would insta-ban and spew vitriol at anyone and everyone that even thought of posting MLP-anything. It was one of their better policies.
To make things even better, they started fighting because I was too attractive. They thought I was some basement-dwelling fat brony virgin with Asperger's, a neckbeard, and a fedora. And.....well, you can see my pictures in the Member Pictures Thread. Some of them insisted that they must have been wrong about me, because nobody as attractive and normal as myself could ever be a CWCki moderator. A few of them stopped trolling altogether because of the infighting over my prettiness.

I've heard many accounts for the feuding at CWCki, but this explanation appears to be the most objective and reasonable of them all.
I'm not kidding. The people who were trying to troll us had a very specific view of me; the only thing they knew about me was that I was a moderator and I had a pony avatar. They figured that I must have been some ugly freak and that they could embarrass me to death. But they pulled up my Tumblr, my Facebook, my modeling profile, etc. They literally thought that they must have gotten the wrong guy, and then started debating if I was really as weird as they thought. It was hilarious.
I hate to break it to you, Chit, but you're not attractive.
I'm right with you. I live the Elder Scrolls to bits (especially Skyrim) but the fandom is ridiculous. Between the Stormcloak and Imperial partisans, The Morrowwind purists, and the worshipers of needless precision, I find it quite aggravating.
Well there's the RE fans who think anything before the RE4 type sucked. Yeah they put the fan in fanaticism.Speaking of which, remember that ridiculous "racism" controversy in RE5? Yeah, God forbid a game set in Africa have black zombies.
This is why I prefer taking each game as it goes, instead of trying to measure each game against its predecessors or successors.That's something we can agree on. I try to judge each game by its own merits.
Hence why I enjoy Star Fox Adventures and Star Fox Assault a lot more than some people do. Command was my least favorite, though.

Wait, buried alive where? Most TES fandumb that I know of has barely even played Daggerfall. The fact that they see fast travel as a terrible, casual thing (despite the fact that Morrowind is actually the most out-of-place one in the entire series because it lacks it) and that they define TES as Morrowind leads me to believe that most of them started with Morrowind and never looked back.
Same way with a lot of Final Fantasy fans starting with FF7 and becoming fanboys that hate every game that came after it simply because it wasn't FF7.
Jadens smith face.
Its really weird looking. I mean he constantly looks like hes in an elevator with someone that farted and he just realised its a friend
4. and I don't particularly care about "helping" my school. I've helped it enough with my tuition.)
I read an article containing a list of reasons you should live in college dorms, and it was the dumbest thing ever. A summary:
1. You'll be more likely to graduate because campuses don't allow alcohol in dorms.
3. It's cheaper.This assumes that everyone is going to a far off college instead of one that is within driving distance. It also presumes that all schools are in neighborhood were the prices are high. University of California Los Angeles, for example, it's would probably be cheaper to dorm if you don't get roomies since West LA is pricier. But for University of California Irvine, it's probably cheaper to find an apartment in Santa Ana. Not to mention some schools have school owned apartments of various qualities. Apparently this person thinks we're all going to Stanford or University of California Berkeley.
4. You'll be more active in clubs and college life in general.
My laptop is now on its last legs most of the keys are broken all the a's and d's I had to copy and paste. So I'm going to need to either fix it or get a new one.Depending on the laptop, you should be able to get a replacement keyboard for around $10, so if that's all that's wrong with it, I'd go that route instead of shelling out for a new one.

I wish it was that warm here. I really, really hate the cold of winter.
The temperature does shift a bit during the furnace's on/off cycle, but no where near enough to cause the kind of rapid contraction/expansion needed to crack the screen (unless Samsung has started using the world's shittiest LCDs in their laptops). I definitely didn't have the computer outdoors, either.
Good suggestion, in any case. I didn't even think about temperature changes as possible cause.
A temperature change to crack screen like that would to happen in an incredibly short time frame like...taking a blowtorch to it and then dumping it in ice cold water....i think thats right at least
There are two things I can't escape....Wow. And I thought Sonic fans could be annoying.
Duck Dynasty merchandise (it's everywhere!! EVERYWHERE!!!!!)
And snobs whining that there are more Spyro games than the original PS1 trilogy, claiming that each and every one of them has "ruined Spyro forever" (or worse, inconsistent ones that hate Legend of Spyro but like the first Skylanders.... WTF?)
They're actually worse than the Mass Effect shitfitters, simply because at least that's died down, but the Spyro snobs are STILL GOING TO THIS DAY!
I'm not even a fan of Skylanders but the whining about that shits me, too.
Whine whine whine, snob snob snob, argh.

FurAffinity recently hired a lead programmer to redesign the site from the ground up.
This isn't the problem.
The problem is that the man in question is a popular artist who used his power to coerce a woman into sex (after which she felt violated) and has sexually harassed plenty of other people.
The head admin himself, Dragonneer, even told the coerced woman to keep quiet about it because "it would just start drama."
He's also censoring and sometimes suspending people who so much as talk about the matter, even if they don't name names.
Now there's a "mass exodus" going on (cheapened by the fact that even because of real reasons, these things never stick) and lots of people dismissing it as "standard furry drama." Lolno, this is rape culture, people have a right to be pissed.
In short, furries still suck just as bad as the bronies do.

Am I the only one experiencing a weird bug with YouTube where it'll play for a bit, then play the previous few seconds of audio again, while stalling the video? Like...you're 12 seconds in, but the video hiccups, pauses, and the audio cuts back to 8 seconds in. Its really beginning to grate.No, you are not. Whenever the video resolution changes (either automatically or manually), it does that.

Had this wonderful fucking conversation with someone today:This makes me want to punch somebody. Preferably the sociopath who actually said that to another human being.
Them: What, so you don't think there's anything else beyond this life?
Me: No.
Them: So it all just stops? You think that you just don't exist once you die?
Me: Yes, actually. I don't see any evidence otherwise. Not saying I couldn't be wrong, just that I don't see any evidence for an afterlife.
Them: What, so you think your grandpa (who died just last week, mind you) just doesn't exist anymore?
And now they're wondering why I'm so angry with them.
Can you imagine if this conversation had been flipped around, and I'd sarcastically said something like, "So you think your *insert loved one here* is flying around in heaven?" to someone right after that person had died? I'd be crucified, and rightly so. Yet apparently the same rules of human decency don't apply to atheists.
So I open up my new Anno 2070: Complete Edition PC game, which includes four DLC packs!
"Exclusive unlockable contents may only be unlocked one single time with a unique key."
Forgive me if I'm misinterpreting, but what the hell? I legitimately purchase this game brand new and it won't let me install the DLC as many times as I want? I bought and now own this thing, so I should be able to do whatever non-illegal thing I want with it, shouldn't I? I don't see what this is meant to accomplish, apart from pissing off legitimate buyers.

Ironbite-usually I let shit roll off my back but this...this might be the final straw for me.
I don't think it's a stretch. I'm sure there are far more people who have the capacity to abuse a loved one psychologically, simply because they view it as an argument. They think they're in the clear because there's no physical violence. That or they just don't consider it. It's far easier to ignore statements you made, rather than actions you took.
Social justice warriors on Facebook who put a whole paragraph of nasty stuff about Macklemore on someone's Facebook status, reply to my rebuttal, and then declare that they're not going to pursue the argument any more so that they end with the last word and I look like an asshole if I try to respond.

Oh for crying out loud... How cold did you say it was? Because if it's warmer than the surface of Mars I'm going to laugh and cry at the same time. I was out and about today in -5 weather, and Most of the people I saw outside were wearing jeans and a sweatshirt. (It helps that the wind died down, but still.) There's also enough snow in drifts (not man-made piles, mind you, snowdrifts) to reach the waistband of my pants. Georgia needs to get its shit together.
Well stopped getting fucked in the ass and these things wouldn't happen.... It's from getting my ACL shredded as a kid after my dad grabbed my ankle and tried to smash me against a wall. I know you're trying to be funny, but too far, man, too far.
Smash....what?Basically, yeah. I pissed him off (don't remember how or why), he knocked me over, I kicked at him, he grabbed my ankle and yanked like he was going to HULK SMASH me against the wall. My ACL gave out before he could pick me up and my screaming got my mom's attention. At first they assumed I was faking, but when the swelling and discoloration hadn't gone down after a day or so, my mom brought me into urgent care and told everyone that I'd been trying to sled down a backyard hill standing up. Nothing ever happened to my dad and he seems to honesty believe I injured myself doing something stupid.
Ironbite-did your retarded monkey of a father think he was Hulk for a second?

I feel ya. Not so much on the 9 day periods (mine are usually 4-5 days, bookended by a day or so of spotting), but mine's been heavier than usual this time around and it's been pretty awful. I've already ruined two pairs of underwear. :\
The worst is when you're woken up in the morning by that "bloop" sensation and have to get out of bed and do the period waddle to bathroom to avoid soaking through your PJs.
Mellen, since you said you're post-menopausal, what exactly does a hot flash feel like? Do you get hot like you're in a hot room, or is it hot like the heat is coming from the inside out?It's a sudden sensation that the temperature in the place you are just shot up 20 degrees with high humidity. At it's worst; An adrenaline surge, that "uh-oh" fear surge sensation in your gut, rapid heart beat and you see specks or stars, arms and face/chest feel numb, as if just when about to faint...which sometimes does happen, too. Hot flashes also happen with some severity on occasion during menstruation, though it's rare for most women (I only had one really severe almost-passing-out hot flash while on a period).

Hm... If the 'bloop' is what I'm assuming it is, why not get some lightweight pads or liners or something to protect from that happening to your clothes? I mean, don't you have any feelings that tell you that 'that time' is getting close or sommat? Sore boobs or whatever?
TMI period snark:(click to show/hide)
The problem with pads is that they're basically immpossible to forget about, unless you're in the same position for a long time. Plus, the cheap ones tend to chafe (which is exactly as fun as it sounds). My flow is so heavy that some days I'm forced to use pads just to get anything done, but I definitely prefer tampons. (I'd actually prefer a menstrual cup or a hysterectomy, but neither of those are within my price range right now.)

Not really annoying, but an odd feature of my life these days that I'm still not used to: the Boything knows famous people.
A bit of background information--Boything is a third generation magician, his dad and paternal grandfather are both magicians, very good ones, who do lots of big, elite magic conventions. They're all pretty well-known among magicians. Boything's dad performed at the White House (!) in the early 1990s alongside Bill Gates' personal magician (!!) and Shari Lewis of 'Lamb Chop's Play-Along' fame (!!!). Pretty much all the famous magicians you can think of, Boything and his dad know personally. Including James Randi.
Even after years together and living together, it still never fails to surprise me when we see these famous people on TV or mentioned in articles or something, and Boything pipes up with, 'Oh, yeah, I know that guy! He was incredibly annoying and a bigger asshole than you'd think.'
So Lance Burton is really arrogant; Chris Angel is an outright diva; Penn of Penn and Teller is a bit aggressive but still cool, and Teller won't break character and talk except when among other magicians and even then only if he's not demonstrating tricks.
Oh shit, Dongy... *Hugs* I'm sorry to hear that.*returns hug* Thanks, Doctor. I seem to be getting a lot of internet hugs today. I'd like to say that my original post was somewhat overblown: my dad works in Information Security, and what with the Target breach and everything professionals that have been doing his job for al long as he has have an excellent chance of getting a new job within six months. It's going to be rough for a while, but I'm working and my mom might be signing onto a new contract this week if everything works out.

I predict the company's going to make the situation with Target look like a printer jam when the wrong somebody figures out consumer data is insecure. As for talking about unemployment, I'm going to hold off until he cools down and sobers up. My dad doesn't drink often, and he rarely gets drunk, but right now he's on a bullet train to Wastedville.
When you joke in a sarcastic or hyperbolic way, and then someone replies to that in a way that you think is serious and a continuation of the joke.
Then you say you were joking, and they say they were too and then its just painfully awkward
I was trying to jack off but my brother kept shouting various rude and insulting things, as well as jiggling the door handle. Now I'm both pissed off and painfully horny. >:(
Edit: discovered the granddaddy of all zits just below my hernia surgery scar. This day just keeps getting better. /s

My formerly awesome little brother has taken to calling me "it". As in "oh my GOD, it's eating everything!" in response to having two slices of peanut butter toast instead of one. If I have to explain to anyone why the fuck that's not okay I'm gonna drop the fucking moon on your fucking town while wearing a creepy-ass mask.

Seriously. It's the same tactic homophobes have been using for ages: Masking anti-LGBT witch hunts as "anti-pedophilia". "Hurr durr most pedos are gay!" Yeah, no. Pedophilia is typical about the prepubescence, not gender/sex, and child molesters who have had relationships with other adults are mostly heterosexual. The stereotype of the boy-loving gay dude is flat out wrong.It's an analog to the old all-black-men-will-rape-white-women strawman prevalent with bigots til this day. Make your victim into a monster to justify the torches and pitchforks.
Well my dad wrote back to me. Even though I gave him sources like AP and the New York Times, he just used Russia Today. You know, the Putin regime's mouthpiece? He also seems to think that anyone who gives information about LGBT issues to a child is a pedophile. I gotta wonder whether this applies to every TV producer who ever put information about heterosexual relationships in their shows. Because that's a lot of heterosexual propaganda.

The problem with people like your dad is that they see gay relationships as being solely about sex, essentially looking at them as if they're fetishes. They just don't get that gay couples share the same emotional bond as straight people, desiring to do all of the normal things couples do -- build a life together, raise a family, spend time with one another, go on dates, etc. -- with sex only being one part of the equation. Thus, they assume that any information given to children will involve descriptions of sex and nothing more.
I am sick of people always interpreting certain artists as being more pretentious than they really are. I mean, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is a great song, but why are you trying to find meaning that isn't there?

It's about how Kurt Cobain found out he smells like a deodorant for young women after reading a mirror writing, and not knowing what Teen Spirit is. Complete with lyrics that make no sense because really, that song was meant to be a joke. He was not happy when that became their most famous song.

It's a sucky Boolean system. Lets say you blocked "diction". It would take every instance of "diction" even if it appeared midway in a word like "addiction" or "dictionary" it would block them all.They really need to come up with a solution to the Scunthorpe Problem.

Anyone else hate the new YouTube format?Actually not really. My first response upon seeing it was one of horror and distress, but having used it for a few hours I've come to terms with the fact that it is just a slightly weirder version of the same thing. Before long we'll all be used to it and forget what life was like before.
Holy crap, the forums are working again! I couldn't get on at ALL yesterday.
Anyone else hate the new YouTube format?It's one of the only changes I've seen that got a big old "meh" from me. It didn't fuck over any basic functionality like these changes somehow tend to do, so I just don't have it in me to care.
What is the point of those stupid balls on strings that they put on jumpers?
I'd ditch the hydrogen peroxide for something else (no ointments, though -- they're not good for bites) -- studies have shown that it does little to prevent infections and can actually make things worse.It was my mom's idea, and I didn't feel like arguing.

Worf/Troi, Bashir/Ezri, and Chakotay/Seven all come to mind, although the last one managed to ruin both of the most popular pairings in Voyager and be a last-minute relationship as well.
Yeah, at nighttime in the dark, anyone can have roaches come out from anywhere. It's in the bright light of day when you see them running around the house that you might have yourself an infestation and need to call somebody.
Aah, Worf/Troi. One of the few "canon" ships that lose me completely. Most canon ships are "meh" to me, but like, what the hell was with that?

Yeah, I always hated that "ship". Wasn't too fond of Kira/Odo either.
Worf/Troi, on the other claw, is done during "All Good Things" as a set up for an unused timeline in which the Enterprise gets a third nacel in order to power a fuck off Phaser weapon.

She also said "It's a fact of life; you shouldn't complain."
Exactly! She's 17, but she doesn't really have any empathy for me. I'd try to explain to her that I do not deal well with being stressed or anxiety-ridden when I'm trying to eat, but I know exactly what she'd say: "Get over it!"She also said "It's a fact of life; you shouldn't complain."
Another fact of life: Babies cry in pitches that are alarming, stressful and anxiety-inducing in adults. We're not wired to enjoy the sound or simply dismiss it as a "fact of life".

If I ran an internet forum and someone posts Doge or the humor related to it, even carried it in their avatar and signatures I would ban them on the spot without question. And I'm not sure how long the ban would last...

Facebook looks godawful now. It's not even the fact that it once again changed unnecessarily, it's that the font and new layout make it look like a stupid page riddled with errors.

A while back, someone (I think Lizard) posted a Tumblr where a girl was receiving downright ridiculous amounts of anon hate, and encouraged us to go follow her and send her some love. So I did.
She's continuing to receive the hate. But more than that, she's not turning off anon. She's still responding to every hateful message she gets. She's continuing to expose herself to it.
I asked her why on Earth she's keeping herself open to it. She says that she thinks that she'll "lose" or "prove the haters right" if she cuts herself off from their messages or leaves Tumblr, and she doesn't want to miss stuff like contests for shiny Pokemon on the website.
I'm losing my ability to be concerned about her predicament. She's very obviously being hurt badly by all of this, but she's willingly exposing herself to mental anguish that looks like it could be driving her to do something very bad to herself.....over Pokemon and responding to questions.

I think what's going on is she has extremely low self esteem so what would just be a generic anon hate note to us is serious to her.A while back, someone (I think Lizard) posted a Tumblr where a girl was receiving downright ridiculous amounts of anon hate, and encouraged us to go follow her and send her some love.

Like, I can get someone being so deeply affected by the hate. Myself, I don't take it personally most of the time and I'm fine ignoring it, but a lot of people (generally the more vulnerable ones) are seriously hurt by people mocking them.
But seriously, at some point the behavior just gets ridiculous. All in the name of Pokemon contests and responding to nice anon messages, you're going to willingly expose yourself to a ton of stuff that you aren't emotionally strong enough to handle and potentially drive yourself mad? That's halfway on the way to being a self-inflicted mental injury.

Is it just me, or are there a hell of a lot less flash games being made nowadays? Back around 2008-2011, there's be tonnes of the bloody things being released every week, nowadays sites like Kongregate and Free World Group have games from almost a month ago still on the front page. I guess that's the downside to indie gaming becoming a much more serious thing.That, and Flash games kind of have a bad rep attached to them. Tis what happens when places like Newgrounds make it look like the primary focus of your medium is to make games like Slave Maker. Also, there are likely many more, better options to make, if nothing else, better-looking games using pre-made engines like Unity.

My dad "playfully" smacked my ear with a flat hand and I'm reasonably sure he ruptured my eardrum. Now I'm definitely deaf in my left ear, at least until it heals. On the other hand, I can do a lopsided version of the "steam shooting out of ears to express anger" trope.

I hate endless scrolling, and the fact that everyone seems to be switching to it. It can cause serious lag on my computer, and if you leave or refresh the page, tough luck, because now you have to scroll all the way back to where you were and find what you were looking at again (I'm looking at you, Cracked and Youtube user upload pages).+1
I told my co-worker that I'd ruptured my eardrum, and she asked how I knew. I did the Valvasa maneuver and a little bit of blood came flying out, which made her completely flip her shit. She tried to call 911 and I had to grab the phone out of her hand and explain that I did NOT need an ambulance. Jeez, I know she wasn't expecting that but you'd think the whole "walking around getting shit done" thing would be a tipoff.

She tried to call 911 and I had to grab the phone out of her hand and explain that I did NOT need an ambulance. Jeez, I know she wasn't expecting that but you'd think the whole "walking around getting shit done" thing would be a tipoff.
Somehow, I have a feeling that blood still coming out of your ear is worthy of seeing a doctor very fast.
I'm probably the only person that's yet to see a single second of Sherlock. I don't even know what channel it comes on.Haven't seen it either! That might have something to do with not having much for TV, but you know. Also, I think it's a BBC show, so that's where it'd be, along with whatever other channels carry BBC shows.

After a quick search through Wikipedia to find out what that is, it just seems to be a signal interpreter box for digital terrestrial TV. Thing is, I can get one of those easily, and since my TV is new it does that natively, but there are literally no TV stations since the digital switchover. They shut down the analogue ones and never set up the digital ones for this area.. or really anywhere that isn't a major city.
edit: okay, I have a single digital channel, which must be new since last time I checked... but it's Global. Global... isn't my favourite channel anyway.

Resident Sherlockian in: it's on BBC, BBC America, Hulu Plus, and Netflix. It's not everyone's cuppa, but I'm quite fond of it (along with the occasional homoerotic watercolour). I will concede that the fandom is bugfuck bonkers, but most fandoms are and at least we're not Whovians or *shudder* Bronies.
Resident Sherlockian out.
I got an email from Netflix yesterday begging me to come back and they advertised that they now have Sherlock series 2. So I guess it wasn't available in Finland before. (It might just be enough of a reason for me to subscribe to Netflix again.)I'm probably the only person that's yet to see a single second of Sherlock.

I've not seen it either, can't be arsed...I have a hard enough time following Doctor Who without access to normal BBC channels, because literally fucking no one I know here (in VA) has BBC-America, and I can't watch shit on the BBC site's video thingy because its region-locked to be available to Brits only. Plus, I'm gonna be honest, the whole Sherlock Holmes thing never really appealed to me: a coke-head private investigator and his manservant are two things that don't quite scream my name, if you know what I mean. If I wanna watch a drug-addicted investigator, I'll watch the early seasons of House, before he turned into a giant pussy.
It's a joke at my own expense because I'm both a brony and a Whovian. And my ear is... Well, it's not fine fine, but it's stopped draining.Resident Sherlockian in: it's on BBC, BBC America, Hulu Plus, and Netflix.

Hey... I thought you liked Who too... ;_;
More importantly, how's your ear doing?
What did the doc say? Did you not have an appointment yesterday? (Excuse me if I'm wrong because I'm too lazy to look on the previous page. It's a character fault, what can I say?)The doc said it'll heal on it's own, and I should only be worried if it gets bloody or feverish. She advised me to avoid swimming, flying, rock concerts, and deep-sea expeditions. There goes my weekend. :(
It annoys me when people refer to the United States as "America." A lot.What a coincidence. It annoys me when people get upset over that.
What about 'MURRICA?I don't mind that so much. I do it sometimes out of self-deprecation.
At least i was under the delusion of being funny with the Doge posts....Really? Not sure how anyone could think doge posts are funny, but I guess different people have different senses of humour and all that.

When youtube music videos (videos that simply play an mp3, not actual "music videos") have long spans of silence at the end of the video. It can range from several seconds to whole minutes of silence.
And on a similar note, people who place intros and/or outros in music/lyric videos they upload, especially if said intros/outros feature music that's not the subject of the video.
Everyone who refers to the next Star Trek movie as "Star Trek 3." Star Trek 3 came out in 1984. The next movie is Star Trek 13. Why won't people get it right?They did a reboot so calling it ST3 is not that wrong and it's not like these movies have been numbered either. Besides, there are now people who had their first contact with Star Trek from these new movies.
For that matter, people who act like there are only 2 Star Trek movies and not 12.

Like my sister. She had zero interest in Star Trek whatsoever until she found out that Benedict Cumberbatch was going to be in Into Darkness. We made her watch the 2009 film so she'd have an understanding of the sequel, and she ended up becoming a hardcore Trekkie.
Currently she cosplays TOS Spock and Bones, is watching literally the entirety of Star Trek in order, and (among many other props and decoration) she has a Tribble that shakes and squeals when you poke it and the ThinKGeek door chime. For a time, she forced everyone wanting access to her room to press the button instead of knocking.
Being sick. In the space of five minutes I've demolished the toilet, it feels like I've burnt a hole in the back of my throat and half an hour later I've still got chunks of it in my sinuses. Well, if anyone needs me, I'll just be over here, being utterly miserable for the rest of the night.

Aren't bald eagles extremely protected since they're a national symbol and all? That's before you count them also being endangered.
In 1978 the bird was listed for protection under the Endangered Species Act. Since 1980, gentler treatment by humans along with the banning of DDT (the bird’s main pesticide threat) have led to a dramatic resurgence. By the late 1990s, breeding populations of Bald Eagles could be found throughout most of North America. In June 2007, the bird’s recovery prompted its removal from the Endangered Species list.
I've heard that BMI assumes human beings are two-dimensional. Is it true that it fails to take height into account? Because to me, that sounds like a major oversight.

Oh, right, I had heard that somewhere. All the same, whenever I look at myself in the mirror, the result is either "too scrawny" or "too fat". I don't know how I waver between these two, but I do.

They've been reclassified from that status, which is great news, over all. They are under joint species stewardship between the US and Canada. And yes, they are the treasured national symbol. However, when I say I'm worried about connected rich folks getting riled about a missing Chihuahua or seeing a kitten in an eagle's talons, remember that uber asshole Rick Scott is the governor here, and that he has systematically appointed assholes to all the executive bureau positions he can, including Fish and Game. Hence, the needless slaughter of every black bear in the immediate region of every bear attack incident. Bald Eagles are fair game, basically, with this kind of reactionary idiocy being SOP under Gov. Scott. Regardless, a lot of these douchebag neighbors I'm referring to are deer, boar, duck and pheasant hunters with the means and skills needed to just shoot a bird because stupid douchebag.

niam, don't fall into the trap of body image dysmorphia.
I haven't had a sunburn in 17 years, whereas she can burn in the shade. We're in Florida right now, and we decided to try spray-on sunblock. It worked great for her, but it apparently didn't stick to me, because I'm burned. But I didn't just burn normally, I burned in narrow stripes down my shoulders and upper arms, and in random patches on my forearms, the back of my hands, and my feet. WTF?

So three bottles of beer make me sick now. Good to know... (technically two and a half, but like hell I'm gonna waste drink.)
EDIT: this beer is 8% ABV, which is stronger than normal, so maybe that's what did it.
Would it really have been so hard for humans to evolve so that they can re-absorb unused placenta instead of shedding it? For the penis-bearers in the audience, the other half of us grow, shed, and re-grow a new organ every twenty-eight days. THIS IS NOT OKAY.

Only if you have a rather low tolerance for alcohol. Even at 8% ABV, most people won't suffer real negative effects after just three bottles.

Nature tends to go for the quickest and cheapest solution more often than not, unfortunately. Resorbing it would probably cost more energy that you'd get back in return.
And I'm sure all the dispassionate scientific analysis is really helping Fish deal with it.It is, actually. I've always been curious as to what separates humans from most other placental mammals in that regard, and now I know. Thanks! It's a funny little reminder that Mother Nature is more like the folks who rig ugly-but-functional "jury rigs" than any grand designer with any sort of plan.

The teacher gave us an assignment and showed us an example. He said he wanted twice as much info in half the pages.
Thing is. He packed everything into his example with almost no page breaks, and everything is barebones information.

Looks like I can't watch the Daily show episodes on their website anymore. Either it is just that the newest episodes can't be seen yet or worst case scenario I can't watch ANY of those episodes from Finland anymore.

Up here, it's usually pronounced "foy-eh".That's the most Canadian thing I've ever heard.
When a youtube video is loading and gets interrupted, it'll usually pick right back up when the connection is reestablished. Not so with blip; if a blip video loses connection while loading, it'll just stop loading entirely. You either have to refresh the video or skip slightly ahead or back in order to "reboot" the buffering.Youtube does exactly that for me as well. Well, on very rare occasions, it'll resume buffering like nothing happened. Though more often than not, I have to refresh the video.

That's how we pronounce it in the UK too.
Please, for the love of god, tell me you don't pronounce the "t" in "fillet".
People who pronounce the "r" in "foyer".
Please, for the love of god, tell me you don't pronounce the "t" in "fillet".
American English is better at that. We dropped the unnecessary "u's" from "color" and "harbor".People who pronounce the "r" in "foyer".Please, for the love of god, tell me you don't pronounce the "t" in "fillet".
Truly, the one at fault here is whoever decided to add all these extra letters to the words when they don't want people to pronounce them.

Relatively speaking, maybe, but every variety of English is terrible at it.
(My native language is Spanish, where words are pronounced by the simple act of making the sound associated with each letter, in the other they are written, with a handful of exceptions where you have to consider two or three letters a time, and even then the exceptions are always pronounced the same way. You have no idea how insane English spelling looks from that perspective.)
On the plus side, we don't have to deal with gendered nouns. So at least there's that.
Foyer = foy-yay (over-enunciated Vs French)
Garage = gah-rahj
Tomato = toe-may-toe
Foyer = foy-yay (over-enunciated Vs French)
You left out the "er".Garage = gah-rahj
Tomato = toe-may-toe
The default pronounciations are annoying? Whatever bizarre dialect you're advocating for sounds way more annoying.

Sounds like he's advocating English English. In the UK it's gar-aj (not quite but I didn't really know how to write the pronounciation) and to-mat-o, and it's our language so we get to decide how it's words are pronounced so fuck yoooooouuuuuuu....

How old were you when you first started learning English? I always assumed you grew up bilingual, being that your spelling and grammar are better than that of most Native speakers.

I actually sometimes wish English had a formal "you" equivalent, since I've occasionally felt awkward saying "you" to someone when I was trying to sound more respectful.

Oh, sure. There's a lot of things that Spanish fucks up as a language (did we really need seventeen verb tenses?). That's why I like to acknowledge the one thing it does right.
Not something that annoys me so much as bothers me, but I've got a story:
About half an hour ago, I went into the "downtown" area of my hometown to pick up some ingredients for tonight's dinner. I got my groceries, told the cashier to have a nice day, yadda yadda yadda. As I was carrying my groceries back to my car, I heard someone shout "hey sweetheart, wanna suck my dick?" Without thinking, I whipped around and growled "What the fuck is wrong with you, faggot?" in my best "I'm totally don't sing soprano" voice and was treated to the sight of a teenage boy in a Ford pickup looking like his grandma'd just caught him masturbating. He quickly apoligized, calling me "dude" and/or "bro" and least twice a sentence before speeding off.
Southern U.S. English pronunciations;More like toe-thenegroidscummustbedrivenoutpraisethesouth-Toe
Filet = fill-ay
Fillet = fill-ett
Foyer = foy-yay (over-enunciated Vs French)

Tomato = toe-may-toe
Out of curiosity, how would all of you non-Canadians pronounce "Calgary", "Toronto" and "Quebec"?
Out of curiosity, how would all of you non-Canadians pronounce "Calgary", "Toronto" and "Quebec"?
Dunno if I'm any indication, since I'm west coast USA born and bred and living on the east coast for about the last five years, but personally, it's 'calg-ah-ree', 'toe-ron-toe' and 'kweh-beck'. Having spent a week in Newfoundland visiting friends, that's apparently pretty accurate.
Toronto: Canadians often drop the second T ("Tor-on-oh"), and many of us shorten it to "Tron-oh" when we're speaking quickly (though Torontonians will usually just go with the "Tron-oh" pronunciation, or even replace the first T with a subtle "Ch" sound).
It is time for the NFL Draft to be over. I'm a huge football fan, and I always look forward to the Draft, but its two weeks later this year, and I'm over it. This is especially true because my team doesn't even have a first round pick this year--they traded it for a running back who can't advance out of a hotel elevator before the doors close (http://www.sportspickle.com/2013/11/trent-richardson-unable-advance-hotel-elevator-doors-close).http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVeAEwrL1Ts
The superiority evident in these posts must be somewhat blunted by the fact that Canadians use batshit pronounciations for everything.
I'll stick to "Kwuh Beck", the way God intended. At least "Tor-on-toe" is phonetic; I feel bad for the kid in the spelling bee that has to spell "Chrono".
Veras, you know that's satire right?

Anglophones are only superior about gay marriage and health care. Francophones are probably holding a referendum over "Kwuh Beck", though.
I was going to shit talk about that, but then I remembered that I live in Alberta, and... well, you know.
Toned down Republicans, but yeah, that's pretty much it.
Funny thing is, Albertans vote the way they do mostly because of the abject terror they experience when faced with the possibility of change, regardless of which political direction it leans toward. Even the chance of the Wild Rose party gaining power had a higher than normal turnout of conservatives, liberals and centrists alike rushing out to vote PC just to keep things the way they are. The oil dudes, a good chunk of Calgary SW & a few pilgrims from Montana were excited about Wild Rose, but everyone else saw it as the end of the world.
When change actually happens, Alberta whines and stomps its feet for a few months until it becomes obvious that nothing bad is going to happen, and promptly goes back to being apolitical until the next whiff of change comes around to start the whole thing all over again.

Ace of Base were my generation's ABBA just without the enduring attraction or talent.
But 90s music especially Regurgitator, Tool and Nirvana have an enduring place in my heart, mainly because I was teenager during the 90s and the music you listen to then has a deep and lasting impression. Funnily enough I like more dancey music these days.
One thing I miss is that there doesn't seem to be any modern great exponents of the electric guitar. The most recent one that springs to mine is Slash from Guns N Roses.
Jimi Hendrix was well before my time but the man was so good on the guitar that they even let him sing, and he couldnt sing for shit.
I'm getting sick of all these 90s kids insisting it was the best decade to be alive? Yeah, remember Waco? The Oklahoma City Bombing? The Yugoslav Wars? The Rwandan Genocide? Columbine? Somali refugees? Jeffery Dahmer? The LA riots?
Being sick. Specifically the kind that results in a painfully sore throat. Case in point, my throat feels like it's covered in sandpaper, it hurts to swallow my own saliva and I'm starting to get really fucking hungry. I know I'm probably going to have to eat by the end of the day, or perhaps tomorrow morning at the very latest, and yet I know it's going to feel like taking a belt sander to the inside of my own throat.
I get the feeling this would be really handy if I were dieting right now. As it stand now, though, it's really not.

UP, how old are you, if you don't mind my asking?
And Rav: I envy you. Most of my childhood and early adolescence took place in the 90s, so all of the awful pop music is seared into my memory. I still remember my friends going insane over 98º and O-Town, two bands that I honestly believe were worse than Bieber.

I think I have permanent scarring on my feet from ant bites last year.
Finally figured out how to get the title bar back with the latest version of Firefox. I'm sorry, but since when is one of the most critical features of a program fucking optional? I know the whole "borderless" thing is all the rage nowadays, but I personally find it fucking irritating. I want each window to be an easily distinguishable area that I can see. I do not want this bullshit infecting my programs like a damned virus...Avast already has it, but thankfully, its the only program outside the GW2 launcher that I have that does that shit.
For those interested in fixing this bullshit, read the spoiler below.(click to show/hide)
Y'know, when I go to the gym, what I really don't like seeing are those big guys with veins all over the fucking place, wearing skimpy shirts, looking like a walking ad for the benefits of HGH.
Because I know I'll never look anywhere that "impressive", even when that so called impressive appearance is in all honesty kinda freaky and probably gotten from super-drugs.

Yeah, it's an ugly look IMO. They look like giant erect penises that were morphed into a man shape - just too veiny.

Fitting, given how some of them act. You know Roid Rage, its like that, but extra pompous. They're like really ugly peacocks, strutting around. There is also how they also tend to stick to their own, and, even if you're giving every indication that the last reps of bench press is really, really freaking hard and crushing you, they'll either hoist it up and not let you finish with a spotter, or tell you its too heavy for you.
Tacitly basically saying you really should consider steroids to lift weights at that level.
Get well, soon, Mlle!Seconded. I'm a rock climber and it's done great things for my body.
Back on about body builder douchebags, IMO rock climbers and also stone mason tradesmen have the nicest looking range of muscle tone and bulk, which varies according to their type (ectomorph, mesomorph, endomorph). Their bodies are naturally handsome looking, and since the sport is very demanding, they have ten times the pain tolerance and stamina of all those big dick lilies prancing around down at Gold's*.
Here's a fun pic of some Aussie rock climbers, ranging in age from their mid-twenties to their early fifties, L to R, all having a laugh over a friend's close-call adventure.

Chris-chan is oblivious, but I wouldn't say he's perpetually obnoxious.
Not Chris-chan. ALL of Equestria Daily.
Bunch of whiny bastards. Just shut the fuck up and enjoy the show, and if you don't like it, FUCK OFF. And I really don't give a shit about Sonic, but Sonic fans, before the Bronies, held the title of worst fandom ever for a good reason.
I don't know, those people never tried to sue the developer because they didn't like the ending.
Okay, deviantART protestant christian fundies can go fuck themselves with their religious symbols, they stopped being amusing awhile ago.
Stuff like "Gays go through more sexual partners than straight people do" and "gays are the #1 transmitter of sexual diseases like AIDS" and stuff. And their complete lack of self-awareness, because whenever you point out a case where Christianity has been wrong in the past (like interracial marriage), they just respond with an obviously regurgitated statement about how God isn't racist, as if that mystically absolves them of their history.
Where's the tylenol... why am I such a masochist...
So along with my ear infection I'm having pain in my jaw I can't even eat properly cause to chew causes me pain...gods I hate this fucking week
Confession time: I'm not really in any video game fandoms, even though I am a gamer. Sonic fans and Pokemon fans scared me off. Plus the rampant misogyny and homophobia from the vocal minority.
Yes, the ending sucked, no it was not a worse than the Holocaust and no one is getting anything shoved up and body opening.Not Chris-chan. ALL of Equestria Daily.

My job requires all-black shoes. My only pair of all-black shoes was very old and after five weeks have holes in the soles and are badly worn through, so I'm essentially standing on the floor and it's extremely painful. Not to mention a bit gross. I brought them in to work to show them, hey, look, I can't wear these, and I don't have any money to get new ones. I wore black and white converse.
They told me to wear some guy's way-too-big shoes instead. I said that would be dangerous. They said wear your holey boots. I said they seriously aren't worth wearing anymore and hurt me. They told me to wear my boots but tape up the holes, and I pointed out that that won't stop me hurting. So they said to go buy new shoes. I have no money and can't afford it.
So they made me tape over my shoes with black duct tape (which looked like shit) and said they were writing me up.
When I got home I coloured the white parts black with a sharpie and if they give me crap about it tomorrow, they can fuck a cactus.
All this at a job where nobody sees my feet anyway.

I love the total disconnect! The management not offering an advance so you can buy shoes, on top of the total contempt inherent in the fact that they don't pay enough or schedule you enough hours to enable you to do basic things, like feed yourself AND buy shoes for the job. We've come full circle back to Dickensian levels of disdain for working class people.
Star Wars fans instantly claiming that the franchise is ruined forever because Disney now holds the reins.
Not the good criticisms, either, but the worries that Star Wars Rebels won't be as dark as The Clone Wars, simply because it's Disney.
All I can think of is, have they even seen any Disney film? Disney delves into some pretty dark shit, yo, even when they don't show blood.
Besides, Greg Weisman is involved. I think the show will be just fine.

I got told off at work because I went into the back for a drink during a lull (which we're allowed to do) and I sat down on a stepladder (which I was told was okay previously) to take some pressure off my knees. Manager told me I wasn't allowed to sit down at all unless I'm on my break, which I'm pretty sure is illegal. My shifts are six to nine hours.
Fortunately I played a dirty trump card and made myself essentially indespensible by revealing that I can in fact speak enough Spanish to conduct basic business transactions. No one else at the store can and there are a lottt of customers who can't speak English well. They can of course fire me, but they'd be stupid to.

Yeah, yet again I find myself thinking the U.S. employment laws need a mahoosive overhaul...if the US even has any to begin with. Sometimes it sounds like they don't, judging from some of the shit I hear about US employers getting up to (and getting away with). How are employers still allowed to treat staff like this in 20-fucking-14?
There are articles plastered everywhere about how the Duggars are visiting a fertility specialist because they want more kids. By their logic, they seem to be defying god's wishes because they think he'll stop giving them babies when he feels like it. Also, their specialist needs to falcon punch her and tell her to go to hell for being so irresponsible. The next kid will likely have tons of birth defects, or she'll probably just miscarry again.

I am just annoyed that the terrorists in Bundy Ranch were nice and corralled up together in an organized line.
If someone in a position of power just hit them all at once with a drone strike, we'd save ourselves so much trouble. Now they're gonna scatter on the winds once the fighting gets too bad in the ranch.

The problem with that, though, is people would accuse Obama of firing on US citizens with drones (which would be truth, albeit half-truth) and would rally against him, and we'd probably get three more groups led by people like Ted Bundy.
Making martyrs is bad. Especially considering that a lot of people in this country belong to a religion that idolizes martyrs, even if they believe otherwise.

Yes, I can definitely see that in such a country, creating a martyr is a bad idea. It still leaves me feeling disgusted that he gets off scot free. Essentially, for committing acts of terror.

It sucks, too. There are other options, but they are all illegal, and people would just blame the government anyways, because they're ready to blame the governent even if Bundy chokes to death on his own spit.

I'm sick and tired of people bringing up my privilege when I complain. I really don't like this argument because telling somebody to simply not be angry is not going to placate them and make them feel better. I think it is all the more tragic when privilege does not equal happiness, but that doesn't mean it is less true.I'm assuming you're referring to whenever someone brings up you privilege when you're complaining about everyday things ("my car engine just stalled, dammit" "Kill you're self privelaged scum!")
An analogy is a study showed that people will generally have the same level of happiness if they follow their dreams or if they do not follow their dreams, which implies that satisfaction with life is more internal than external.
Not that any of these factors excuse people from being terrible assholes, but the "look at how good you have it" argument rarely creates converts.

I don't think its our reproductive drive that leads to this, so much as our drive for pleasure. But, yes, I will agree that it does seem rather...counterintuitive to have a fetish that could easily lead to your death, or at least getting a MASSIVE infection.
That would just open a new can of worms. Namely, why would God give people dumb turn-ons?The fact that anal prolapse porn is so common. I know you shouldn't judge people based on their fetishes, but it's still kind of disturbing that there's so much demand for that sort of thing.

Well, the reproductive drive is why it's pleasurable in the first place. But yeah, whatever the root cause, it's just dumb from an evolutionary standpoint.
Maybe stupid fetishes could be a halfway-convincing argument for creationism? God knows the poor bastards need some new material (pun intended).
Why wouldn't he? Hard wiring us to want to do certain things and then condemning us to an eternity of torture for acting on it is preety much Standard Operating Proceedure. Giving us ridiculous fetishes for the sake of it is rather tame by God's standards.That would just open a new can of worms.

Even so, he apparently made us (or the conditions for us to evolve) in a way that at least some people would be inclined to do that sort of thing in the first place. It makes you wonder why he didn't just make us have no desire whatsoever to rape or kiddle fiddle if he's truly omnipotent and simply doesn't want us engaging in such tomfoolery.Well, there are a few schools of thought that have different theories about that.
anal prolapse porn is so common

It's true. I'm glad I'm not the only person wondering why it's so widely available.
My Flash Player is saying that my flash plugin is installed, but not Pepper Flash (I use Chrome). Videos play on Chrome, so I don't know what's going on. Re-installing Chrome did nothing, and downloading the flash plugin directly did nothing. This started after I downloaded the latest version, after which my flash player disappeared and wouldn't turn up in Windows Explorer for a day (Chrome flash still worked, though). The thing is, if flash updates and I go to check which version I have, the site will say I have an updated plugin (because Chrome updates it automatically), but opening Flash Player will say I have the previous version, meaning I have to download it directly to get Flash Player to update. Also, it seems that ever since I downloaded the latest version, the computer lag occasionally gets really bad. I don't know if that's a coincidence, though.
So yeah, I don't know what the crap's going on. Any ideas?
My co-worker got engaged to his fiance way too quickly, so much that it seems like something I'd expect from a couple of high school freshmen. His fiance dropped out of high school a few years ago, won't get her GED or equivalent, won't get a job or anything. He's only an intern at my job, so he doesn't make jack for money. Well, his fiance just announced that she's pregnant and that they're super happy about it. WHY? You don't have enough money to support yourselves, let alone a fucking child. And because your relationship was rushed and unhealthy, you're likely going to split and fight over the fucking child, and ruin its little life early on. Way to be responsible, morons.Just goes to show. Age is mandatory, maturity is optional.
People are bitching about Rockstars latest FREE content update for GTA Online because it's not what they were demanding, like a bunch of spoilt fucking children. Sometimes I wish the gaming community would just fuck off, but then multiplayer lobbies would be rather empty. Actually, I think I'd like that lol.I really, really hate the gaming community.
I dislike it when I come across a video for any game and the person's increase the FOV to a really high level.

My cat climbed up on my bed earlier.

I literally have a headache from trying to work out how damage from convection (from lava) will work in my game. I've gotten what appears to be a reasonable, in game terms (that is to say likely not realistic in the slightest), formula for how far the heat can spread thru air and how it interacts with solid barriers (the spread is halved for each meter of solid barrier between the lava and the next available air block), but I'm having a bitch of a time figuring out how to say, in mathematical terms, "you'll take X damage per second per meter away from the lava you're near, depending on how hot the lava is and how far its heat can spread." Breaking things down to numbers is fun, but it can be a bear, lemme tell ya.
Why the hell did Chrome ever take away the 'set as desktop wallpaper' option? And furthermore, why the hell has only one person ever made an extension that puts it in? Nevermind that that one extension hasn't been in the Web Store for forever and has seemed to have recently stopped working altogether (I downloaded it before it got removed). And I can't find any userscripts that add it.
It's just really tedious having to save the image, open up Pictures, find the image, set it as the wallpaper, then open up Control Panel because Vista is a piece of shit that won't let me set 'Stretch' as the default wallpaper setting.

D&D generally uses 1d6 damage if you're in close proximity to lava, and 20d6 if you're actually in it. A good idea might be to increase the type of die used depending on distance (use 1d12 if you're within 5 feet, 1d4 if you're on the other side of the room, etc.)

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do, but in general, problems that are easy to write a computer solver for are incredibly difficult to write down in a formal equation. Just accept that you'll be dealing with some margin of error, run a few simulations to get a feel of what's going on, and don't worry about the high-level math.

I'm not using dice, though. Its not like a tabletop game I'm doing, but one of them thar evil vidya games. Besides, "feet?" I'll have you know my game uses metric units! Mostly because, when I go into doing the minimap, I want there to be distance displayed between you and your waypoints, in the best units for the job. So, if you're more than 1,000 meters away, it'll display using kilometers instead. Doing that with feet, yards, miles, and all that other garbage would be yet another bleedin mathematical headache. Not ragging on ya, of course, just mildly irritated how most games seem to default to Imperial units.
Also, the Imperial system itself bugs the fuck out of me. It is, as far as I've been able to learn, a load of arbitrary, retarded bullshit. The conversions between different units, in the same system, are so completely ass-backwards that its a miracle we were able to measure anything before the metric system became the accepted standard. Metric goes in simple orders of magnitude and is based off something easily quantifiable and measurable: water. 1 cubic meter of water is equal, in volume, to 1 kiloliter. One liter of water weighs (more or less) one kilogram. Water freezes at 0C and boils at 100C. Simple, clean, efficient, and easy to understand.
Tried to wax my eyebrows. Underestimated the sensitivity of my own skin. End result is scabbing around my brows. Fuck my life.

The thing is, its much easier for me to understand if I can express it mathematically. I get a simple formula, then I can write it in code, hammer out any potential issues, and so on.
Fair enough. Just be prepared for a really hairy formal equation (My guess is that it will be a second-order partial differential equation and the barriers the lava interacts with will be boundary conditions).

You're making it far more difficult than it will be. Its a regular old inverse relationship between the distance from the lava (as well as the lava's temperature) and the amount of damage taken per second. The "half for each solid block between you and the lava" could be handled by a simple conditional and foreach loop.

You got me interested, so I started playing around with a toy model (doesn't incorporate solid blocks yet)
http://imgur.com/a/IEx8e
Red blocks are lava, color at each block represents temperature going from red (lava) to white (ambient). Temperature at each point is temperature of lava block times some coefficient, divided by distance to lava block, summed over all lava blocks.
Convection is cool!
Lately I've been getting really annoyed at this attitude of perceiving isolated inappropriate comments as something horrible that the person should be condemned forever. I'm getting sick of people acting like x actor or y comedian is irredeemable because they said something in poor taste once - especially in the case of comedians, since it's kind of their job to say things that would be offensive in most non-comedic situations. I mean yes, sometimes people go way over the line, and yes, they should be called out on it, but that line seems to be moving closer and closer to "what personally offends me, regardless of context", and context... is important. There are still enough people out there constantly spewing horrible racist, sexist, anti-LGBT and the like comments that I don't think we need to resort to a witch-hunt.
..also the idea that a person doing or saying one bad thing invalidates everything good that they've done and said in the past. I'm noticing this more and more, and it's starting to bother me...

Hrm...if you want more data, I've got it (currently) working like this: lava's base temperature is 600C, and its max temperature is 1600C. The Convection Spread (CS), in meters, is (Temperature / 50) - 7. The larger an area the CS covers, the more damage it'll deal when you're right next to the lava, and this damage decreases for every meter away from the lava you are, and each meter of solid barrier inside the lava's CS range will cut said range in half. When you're right next to the lava, but of course not inside it, you'd take damage equal to (Temperature / 125) per second. Also, every individual lava pool will have a uniform temperature between its constituent lava blocks, but two different lava pools may vary between the min and max temperature, depending on how far below the game's sea level (I'm currently debating between 500m or 1km); the deeper you go, the hotter, and less viscous, it becomes.

Looks like you've got it pretty well figured out.

Okay, something that bugs the fuck outta me about games: collectibles as replay value, or worse yet, necessary bits of story. It just reeks of poor design. I'm sorry, but if your game's only replay selling point comes from "ZOMG 100% COMPLETE, GUIZ!" I'm not gonna bother replaying it. Not everyone gives a crap about finding every little bauble or meaningless bit of paper in a game, not everyone wants to spend hours on end hunting for crap because they're extremely anal and don't want to miss something important.
Also, if you do that crap, and only give certain bits of critical plot detail thru them, then I'm not gonna give a shit about your story. However, if it gives details about the world at large, maybe a running secondary dialogue that, while not plot critical, is nice to have, then its cool. A good example of the latter are the recordings from Dead Island. They're not critical to the game's overall narrative, but they help flesh it out and give it some added depth. Hiding critical plot details from players because they're simply not meticulous achievement hunters is a terrible way to design you game's story. Explain it thru backstory, dialogue, or even an internal monologue. All of those are far easier to accomplish, and don't unnecessarily punish players for not being anal enough to check every nook and cranny for your hidden bullcrap.

One of my turn-offs with games is lack of replay value. I usually won't buy a game to beat it once and toss it aside. I know I've seen reviews that say, "If a game is awesome enough, you won't mind playing it only once!" Maybe, but I'll personally mind spending $60 on it.
Of course they are plenty of masterpiece caliber games with absolutely obscene difficulty levels. Robotron, for example, is not only difficult, it's practically impossible t obeat. Yet it remains easily among the greatest video games ever made. Arcade-style games like Robotron or Pac-Man present the entirety of their gameplay at the very beginning, so players of all skill levels can experience everything the game has to offer. Whether arcade-style or linear, what makes any great-yet-nigh-impossible game work, and is also tragically absent from video games in general these days, is guaranteed reward. Anybody should be able to enjoy any video game regardless of how much effort and/or time they put into it. Anything that gets in the way of that is simply dogmatic design philosophy. A hard game needs to be designed in such a way, and executed at such a level, that its difficulty becomes irrelevant and it can be enjoyed even while failing miserably.

Has there ever been a character in the history of fiction that someone somewhere hasn't claimed is gay?
Don't know if my little quip set that off, but for what it's worth, I'm on Tumblr and following a pretty diverse set of blogs, so I know it's not just SJWs and fandom wank.

Not since the advent of Tumblr, at least.
- He fucking BLASTS country/soft rock loud enough that, just in the time I've lived there, we've had thirty-five noise complaints.
I think it's less that he can't hear and more that he doesn't understand how or why the volume bothers other people. He lived alone for several years before getting bum rushed by a bunch of eighteen year old gas station attendants, so his tendencies toward being unhygienic and inconsiderate stem partially from not having anybody around to tell him he's a mess. That said, I was the last person to move in there and I've been there for a couple months now, so the grace period has been over for quite a while. And even if he is hard of hearing, I'm neither his doctor nor his mom. He's responsible for maintaining appropriate behaviour, period.- He fucking BLASTS country/soft rock loud enough that, just in the time I've lived there, we've had thirty-five noise complaints.
I was reading through that list and it looked like he had a hearing problem, but that last part reasonably confirmed it for me. You might want to tell him to have a hearing test done and look into hearing aids so that he has an easier time participating in a large conversation and picking out individual voices.
Even before tumblr I remember it wasn't uncommon to hear people "theorise" that a character was gay. Sherlock Holmes is one example that springs to mind, although I always felt that Holmes was rather asexual if anything. What is people's fasination with the sexual orinatation of fictional characters?

A troll who decided it would be splendid to insult someone who committed suicide due to being bullied in real life and online for being gay.
Gotta say, there comes a point where being a troll doesn't make what you said any better. Trolls enrage people over petty things, that's what makes them brilliant and funny. "Trolling" a serious matter isn't clever or funny, it's just seeking out that false sense of superiority to people because "I got them mad."
Yeah, George W. Bush pissed people off, too, that doesn't make him a brilliant troll.
Direct quote from my client at the company dinner he was holding, while giving a speech about the company's upcoming 27th anniversary.
"A LIGHTNING BOLT DID NOT STRIKE A PUDDLE OF MUD AND CREATE A SINGLE CELL AMOEBA OR WHATEVER THEY'RE CALLED. THAT'S JUST DUMB."
He started it with religion and went overboard. He was probably on the cusp of saying something homophobic.
Speaking of things that annoy me, people who treat all of tumblr like it's full of nothing but SJWs.The "Average Tumblr user is an SJW" factoid is actually just a statistical error. The average tumblr is not an SJW. SJW George, who lives in there bedroom & makes over 10000 SJW posts a day, is a statistical outlier and should not have been counted.
No, there's actually a massive amount of people on the site. A lot of them are good people. And it's not even a case of the SJWs being a vocal minority because everyone's vocal.
Tumblr tends to create circles of people, though. SJWs will reblog SJWs and SJs, and Anti-SJWs will reblog SJWs and other Anti-SJWs, and if you only stick around SJWs, they are the only people you will see. Thus creates a confirmation bias.
Same for if you only hang around the fandom circles of Tumblr. You'll only see that circle of Tumblr.
Truth is, Tumblr's... surprisingly a lot like people in real life. Diverse and prone to herding.
Is anyone else having problems with Youtube audio just randomly dropping low until you play with the volume setting to remind it to be where it should be?
To be fair, you really shouldn't let people light you on fire. :P

Went to a con this morning with wife and kids. Was able to listen to 10minutes of a presentation about LGBT superheroes before I had to leave to a temper tantrum from kid and sometime later we just called it quits and left since the older kid was not co-operating.
Just before I was about to go to sleep she managed to smear shit on the bedsheets.
Not cool.

And here's the part where people not on tumblr don't have any idea what you mean by that.
Dashcon was a tumblr "convention". I say this because to call it disorganized is an insult to disorganization. The hotel they were staying at didn't got the $17,000 in advance like the contract said they would, they somehow managed to raise $12,000 and it got donated somewhere and the hotel is saying they don't have a clue where that money is (It's so much of a clusterfuck in that regard), the participants stood around wailing Les Miserables songs for an hour.
After this point, the details are a little sketchy.
When they finally got to the convention area... it turned out to be an empty room with a small ball pit, and the recreation room consisted of a single TV, a single video game console, and some other things I don't remember right now.
...And this was supposed to entertain 2,000 people.
$12,000 that could've gone to a lot of legitimate causes that could help people... was wasted on a fucking travesty.

Wife wanted to attend some stuff about writing and meet the quests of honour. For me there would have been some stuff about swords and Iron sky and "Sovjet Union & Russian sf-movies and series" could have been interesting as well.
Oh well, such is life with small children.
Just read something on Welcome to Night Vale's facebook page saying they went to this Dashcon thing and left because they weren't paid (and were supposed to be) and apparently the Dashcon people are accusing the WTNV people of lying about not being paid and yeah, wow. I hadn't even heard of this before now but wow.
Edit: as for things that annoy me, can't sleep, have to work tonight. This is what happens when they schedule me in for a seven-day week :/
...I just found a picture of the ball pit in question (thanks Twitter)

I hate them for their blessed lives.
I envy their spotlight, because one of the things I have always wanted is for people to look at me, to acknowledge me, to be pointed out, to be known.
Well, what else do you suggest I do? Just "man up" and accept my lot?
Or is it just going to be more vulgar nonsense from Art Vandelay?
Seems rather hypocritical to hate celebrities for being rich and famous when you're trying to attain that same level of wealth and fame for yourself. Just saying.

...Not that I agree with Niam's opinion, but have you never heard of "Envy"? It's a natural human emotion that can cause hatred because someone else has something they don't have. No hypocrisy necessary.
A polar vortex has moved in.
It is now 60 degrees. I am cold. In the middle of July.
This is not a thing that should be happening.
And yet people deny that there's anything wrong with the climate.
Fuck.

It should be around 90 F.
a 30 F difference is pretty fucking major, especially the closer we get to the extreme side of Summer.

Like insectoid parasites, or human parasites?
You're not the only one, dude. I hate parasitic bugs of all kinds. Except leeches, oddly enough. ...Not that I've had them on me, but the thought of having a leech on me isn't all that unnerving since the best way to get rid of 'em is to just wait the little bugger out. I suppose it helps that they have legitimate medical uses.That's maggots you're thinking of, what with the legit medical uses thing. Unlike leeches, who can't differentiate between "good" and "bad" blood, maggots will consume dead flesh while passing over living tissue - gross, yes, but it's a lifesaver for people with severe burns or unchecked gangrene.
It's too bloody hot in my room. Even with a fan blowing on me, I can't sleep.

I'm seeing headlines everywhere referring to a recent case where a pit bull mauled a toddler who was trying to hug him. And the articles act like the dog should've known that the kid didn't intend to harm him. A hug is not something that's universally understood and accepted by every living creature. Dogs can easily interpret hugs as an act of aggression and will respond accordingly if they do. Obviously the mauling was tragic and the dog appeared to be violent, but people need to stop assuming a dog knows what a fucking hug is, and stop assuming it's okay for their kids to go around randomly touching animals.
I've been around toddlers with small animals. I don't care if he didn't intend the dog harm, he was likely causing the dog harm. Toddlers tend to put their full force of strength into a hug, and wave the animal back and forth violently, neither of which is conducive to "not harming" said animal. The brat was likely crushing that poor dog, and the dog reacted accordingly.

I just got turned down for a job that I was perfectly qualified for to the point that I should have been a shoe-in for it.

Lately, it seems like being "perfectly qualified for the job" is the biggest turn-off employers have.
They're rather have someone underqualified so they can pay them less :/

Remeber it's not all about qualifications. There are a million different, mostly stupid, reasons an employer might turn you down especially if you have an interview. Everything from they didn't like your deoderant to they way you sat in the chair and combinations of everything in between can influence them. Those things are probably actually more important than qualifications in some ways. It might be something of a myth as I can't remember the source of this, but supposedly an interviewer will have already made up their mind as to whether or not they're going to hire you within the first 5 or 10 seconds of meeting you.
It's infuriatingly unfair but that's the way people are. Everyone, whether people like to admit it to themselves or not.

So when a job description includes a bachelor's degree as the minimum qualification but says a master's is preferred, they're really lying and actually don't want someone with a master's degree? And here I thought I was being turned down from those positions because they were hiring people with master's degrees instead.
What really grinds my gears is when people don't tip, for whatever reason. Regardless of circumstances, there's no excuse not to tip two dollars at the very least. If you can't afford to tip two dollars, you probably shouldn't be ordering pizza in the first place. Three dollars would actually be better, because that would be just enough to pay for the cost of gas to your house and back.
But then, we live in a society where the customer is king, even when they're wrong (which is quite often), and the employees just have to bend over and take it.

I've heard that even in those countries, it's still courteous to tip for good service.
PewDiePie's fandom AND PewDiePie's hatedom.For the most part I'd say his fandom is vastly more annoying.

I dunno, his hatedom is everywhere. It's like there's a large coalition of people out there who absolutely hate one person and hate you if you don't hate him as much as they do.
It's worse than the anti-brony groups.
At least with PDP's fandom, you aren't exposed to it if you're not reading his comments or looking at his fan groups.

For rather good reason.
I wasn't aware there was a limited amount of hate in this world.

So I suppose what your getting at is that you think we should all hate Rupert Murdock even more?I wasn't aware there was a limited amount of hate in this world.
Nothing to do with limitations and everything to do with priority.
People reserve more hate for Bieber, PewDiePie, and Auschwitz-selfie-girl than they do for people who actually cause harm.

I'm probably the few people who hates (at the risk of hypocritical humor) the term "hate is a very strong word." Let me hate specific people and things in peace, please.
It's also funny that I hate things so much and wants nobody thin-skinned to break my hating spree when I feel like I like too many things. Oh well...

GIVE ME MY MERIT DAMMIT!!!
(but yeah, totally psyched)
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."Well, according to some of my friends who work for the welfare system, the Democrats want to keep the poor in a permanent state of dependence, while the Republicans just want to cut them off. Then again, maybe it depends.
Let me start with the fact that I find this to be so simplistic that it is meaningless. Political arguments that fit on a bumper sticker usually shouldn't be taken too seriously. People say it, and they feel like they have been deep and profound, when they haven't really said anything at all.
But the bigger thing is that, if you put any thought whatsoever into it, it quickly becomes apparent that this is an argument FOR welfare, not against it. It posits two options, one of which is a direct program, like food stamps, which feeds people directly. The second, better, option describes an educational social program, which is also welfare. In this proverb, doing nothing (the libertarian choice) isn't even an option.
We can also tack on that the two choices aren't mutually exclusive. It's pretty hard to learn how to fish when you are starving to death, so I would suggest that it might be most effective to first give a man a fish, and then teach him how to catch more. Of course, if he doesn't have a net, this might still be a problem, so we might need another welfare program to help with that.
In conclusion, if we were to apply this proverb to real life, the idea that the left wants to give a man a fish and the right wants to teach a man to fish is patently ridiculous. The left advocates giving fish and teaching people how to get more. The right advocates telling people to fish, regardless of how possible that is for them. I suggest that instead the right adopt, "the best way to teach someone to swim is to throw them into a lake," as their new meaninglessly simple argument. At least it somewhat accurately represents their position.
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

This myth that bad attitudes are the cause of all your problems and the fools who buy into it. They assume that someone who has unfortunate things happen to them is partly to blame because their 'attitude' contributed to it. Has it ever occurred to these dolts that attitudes are brought about by a string of bad luck or unfortunate circumstances? Not everyone can just wake one day and stop letting stuff bother them. Those who can are exceptional, but should not be considered the norm.
Not to mention the implication of assuming that people are to blame for all their problems. Blame the victim much?
I honestly think the NES Godzilla Creepypasta is one of the most overrated things I've seen. Everybody gushes about "how scarey" and "well-written" it is, and I read it and am just . . . guh. Yeah, the some of custom spritework is fantastic, and there was one generally creepy one that gave me pause, but the story itself is just . . . guh. I read comments like "this is the best creepypasta ever" and "you are a creepypasta god!" and all the while I'm thinking, "This is fanfiction.net. These comments are exactly the types of comments you see in ff.net.". Because these aren't really creepypastas; they're creepypasta fanfiction.I think it's probably one of the better creepypastas out there, but you're right that it isn't really a creepypasta considering it has a happy ending.
There's a lot more I'd like to say about it, but I don't think I have the energy for it right now.
I mention lately how much I hate children?Not all children.
Pretty much all the major creepy pastas are overrated.

On the other hand, something that really annoys me about video game creepypastas is how everyone overuses the Lavender Town music. It's not just overused; it isn't even all that creepy. I never found anything unsettling about it even when I first played the games.

That my tuition is more expensive because schools give people full scholarships for being sufficiently talented at fucking football. Other sports, too, but mainly football, around here. And then the same people who were arbitrarily passed through middle/high school and got those free college educations that they'll never use get paid millions/year and are adored by tens of millions of people. For being good at any one of tackling people, running, and passing or catching a ball. Fucking deification of athletes...
Athletes are also usually free-floated because sports tend to be big money for schools (http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/schools/finances/).

Of course, it's just that it never stops. It's not for no reason that it's said that it can be hard to say whether a university is an academic institution with a sports program attached or a sports program with an academic institution attached.
Oh, no doubt. A lot of schools have caught onto what sells as well (In their minds, you'd have to be stupid to not continue a good thing), which is sad with how little actually translates into helping the students or non-sports related faculty.

And meanwhile, basically can't take any jobs, have their scholarship completely subject to the whim of their coach (unlike those who receive awards based on academic merit), really don't have that great a chance at going professional, especially for any decent length of time, and are usually pushed into easy degrees so that their coursework doesn't distract from playing their sport that will be more or less useless after they graduate, not to mention the risk of injury that would end whatever career they might have had in their sport before it even really began.
And for that matter, consider this: Nick Saban, football coach at Alabama, receives a salary of $7,300,000. (Source. (http://www.coacheshotseat.com/SalariesContracts.htm)) By contrast, the 85 scholarships the University of Alabama can award its football players total, at most, probably $2,000,000.

Sure.
But think about this: if he's really that dumb, his only real hope for a career is a position on a professional team. If he doesn't get signed there, he's boned. If he does, he'll probably squander his money. Then when he retires or just can't get signed again, he's boned.
And besides, depending on his age and position, he may already have taken quite a few hard hits. Concussions do bad things to the brain, and it's just about the only organ in the body we don't have any idea how to fix.

Look at it this way - remember all the high school jocks in football that always got their way, that got away with things, who could be downright mean bastards? Perhaps this reality of college sports could be their karmic restitution - a slowly dying brain, injury after brutal injury, little to no time to get any real job...
And mind, alcohol in excess does no favours to brain cells, and the proclivities of athletes in college, once they hit 21...

My school is also requiring that I take an Introduction to Computer Applications and Concepts course. I can't test out of it, I can't skip it and tell them to fuck themselves. I have to sit thru this insult of a class as I read (since its online) a teacher lecturing us on such complicated topics as god damned Microsoft Word. I'm planning to become a computer fucking science major. I've been using computers since I could read, and I've been writing code for nearly half my damned life. I understand that there are some folks out there who really just plain old don't get computers, and that's fine. But, seriously? There's no way to test out of it? No way to prove to these people that I can likely use a computer better than my fucking instructor? I could be a bloody sysadmin, and yet I have to sit the same class as Grandpa Joe who's never handled anything more complicated than a digital watch.
At least it'll be easy. Fucking Pulaski Tech didn't require this shit.
http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-reasons-sports-are-worst-thing-ever-unbiased-opinion/Some of his points are stupid, but he's completely correct when it comes to the cost to taxpayers and the absolute ass raping of the education system.
Someone sounds bitter.
I suppose you are right on this one.
On the note of college sports it irks me that regardless what I do, I feel like an outsider - that no matter how I act, it always seems I am looked at as a dorky, nerdy kid.
I have tried everything, including cutting all ties to my old nerdy friends.
All I want is the same respect college jocks get.

Let me tell you: that "respect" is fleeting.

It's really true. All of the stuff you get in school ends up rapidly disappearing after you leave unless you've got what it takes to keep it going. High school football and basketball players often fail to make it to the college level, and college players often fail to make it any higher. The only ones who survive afterward are the ones who have other marketable skills or a good personality.
Honestly niam, after all of your posts on it, it seems like you have a sort of stereotypical view of how respect and school hierarchies work.
Okay, this is gonna sound pretty harsh.
But I've seen a lot of your posts here. I've seen your sociopathic musings and your plan for how the country would be so much better being ruled by a "benevolent" dictator (just so happens to be yourself) who executes citizens in the night for moral failings, with dramatic musings on how you must sacrifice yourself and your humanity to serve the good of the people. I've seen your constant attempts at stereotyping the world and striving for a cliche, then getting angry when it doesn't happen.
And now you're saying that "you won't get anywhere based on personality."
Honestly? No fucking shit. At what point have you tried to improve on your personal failings? When you admit that the world may not be as teen movie cliche as you think it is, do you accept it? I haven't seen it if you have. What I've seen so far is dramatic hand-wringing and raging against the machine because everything doesn't fit your fanciful standards.
You're complaining about being a shallow parody, but your entire world view is a shallow parody of reality that seems filtered through bad teen movies about the jock/nerd dynamic and you seem to only have fleeting moments of clarity that disappear as soon as it becomes convenient for you to rant about how everyone has more than you and how awful of a person you are.
I don't even get this whole "I'm just a poor nerd thing." Dude, nerdiness is in. It has become cool to be a nerd. People don't view you as a "nerd." They probably view you as something a lot worse if this is how you behave off the internet.
tl;dr You're behaving like an angsty 13-year-old who never grew up.
Is there a different way college works now?The jock/nerd dichotomy is most certainly bullshit. Really, the only way you'll have a hard time fitting in is if you don't much care for spending every last cent getting shit faced and partying until 5 in the morning every other night.
Nice way crush my hopes of seeing some name-calling, flamewars, and future lingering hostilities, asshole.
Thank you. I appreciate honesty, and I honestly cannot stand people who sugarcoat their opinions to preserve my "feelings".
I know that I channel strange and outdated views of the way things are, and I'm vying for an old, no longer quite valid ideal. I just do not know of any other possible view to take, and its the only one readily available to me about how high school and college life works. Is there a different way college works now?
Is there any way I can affect change of my personality? Like, real change, not just changing how I act?
*stuff about jocks*Well, in the south and big name universities football is considered the pinnacle of everything.

Why yes, I do think the university/college experience is extremely overrated.

Joe is awesome. Few things in life are more entertaining then seeing a shitty game being so masterfully ripped to pieces.
2. People who jump the gun on accusing someone of pedophilia. Look, I know it's the internet, people say fucked up shit and deserved to be called out on it. But finding someone attractive who's a few months shy of eighteen is hardly in the same category as some creepy child molester. Also, has it ever occured to them that the people finding the girl attractive could actually be teenagers themselves?What are you, some kind of paedophile?

So, now that Art's had his Youtube rant, I'll have one of mine. Why the fuck are random videos showing up in my History? Actually, they're not completely random; if an embedded video shows up on my tumblr dash, it ends up in my History now, even if the video was never played. Also, I'm pretty sure some video thumbnails that show up at the end of a video are being put there, too. My History is for videos I've fucking watched, not unplayed videos that happened to randomly appear on my screen.
Edit: Guh, nevermind. It turns out the problem was part of an extension I'm using.

Back on topic, people who think all 2D retro games are "8-bit". How exactly did this little nugget of idiocy catch on, and most importantly, and for how long do we have to beat these people across the face before they realise that the SNES was 16-bit?

Because people don't know what the term "word size" means in reference to computer science. Don't matter how "retro" a modern game is, nowadays, they're all either 32 or 64-bit.

... I had a sega megadrive that was 32 bit, back in 1996-8. So define "modern", because I played Sonic 2 and Sonic and Knuckles on that bad boy. I gave it to a friend where it stayed played happily until its demise circa 2002.
(by the way, I don't know what you mean by "word size", then again I never studied computer science as of now, but it's on my to-do list)
"Word size," when talking about comp sci, refers to the number of bits per instruction for a given processor. So, for a 32-bit system, the word size is 32 bits. This is why 64-bit systems can run 32-bit programs at double speed, they can process two instructions, or even an instruction and its arguments, all in one cycle.
"Modern," nowadays would probably more refer to 64-bit programs and operating systems, since we've been steadily moving away from the 32-bit architecture in consumer electronics for around the last decade or so. Partially, this is simply the gears of progress grinding ever further on, but another part is there's a particular problem, similar to Y2K, that might actually cause problems: the Year 2038 problem (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem). Basically, unless 64-bit architectures become ubiquitous before 03:14:07 UTC on 19 January 2038, the time on many machines will roll over to midnight UTC on 1 January 1970, because of the way machines store and increment the time.

Thanks, that was very clear. :)
Turns out Netflix is missing the last several episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. You can't do that. You can't just cut the show off just when you get to the point where every episode drops a fucking bombshell like that. I am exceedingly frustrated.

That's only an issue with 32-bit machines that count seconds using UNIX time. The counter would theoretically overflow to the 13th of December 1901 in a naive implementation, but memory has gotten far more abundant since the 70s and if you're willing to store the year, date, etc. as several numbers and implement new time and date functions (which is harder to debug than it seems), a 32-bit machine could theoretically keep time for billions of years.
There may not be any 32-bit desktops around by 2038 but embedded systems would still benefit.

How do you even write a book like that and get it published? How do you not have someone, at some point in the process, stop and get a good look at how that message sounds in the context of current society?
Adware. Have you ever had iStartSurf take over your browser? I swear, it's the most tenacious little bastard I've ever had to deal with. It took me almost four hours to get rid of the little fucker. Whoever programmed that thing deserves to be furiously buggered with brine soaked cactus.

I had the displeasure of dealing with the Sweetpacks "browser" adware. I'm not sure how exactly I got it on my computer because I certainly don't remember downloading it. I had to constantly go into my programs to uninstall it and the various programs it brought with it for a few weeks.
I can understand disliking Forgotten Realms for being more generic high fantasy, but this guy seems to be a troll. That is, of course, not to say that generic high fantasy is bad. Eberron is one of the reasons I like DDO, the magitech is a nice change of pace. Could use more Warlocks, though.
There's this one punk on the Dungeons and Dragons Online forums who reacts to every suggestion to add a non-core race or non-core class (such as Dragonborn or Warlock) with a "oh god no i hate <x> with a passion its just cheesey munchkin bullcrap and the worst thing to happen to dnd"
And whenever anyone brings up anything like "but you don't have to play one" he responds with an argument that, I shit you not, basically boils down to "but it affects me because it means i might actually have to look at one in my party and if it happens i will never allow one into my party. also because it means that i'll have to wait until later for a race/class i wanted to make it in."
He also claims to have been a great DM who believes that sticking entirely to the core rules, not allowing any "splat" classes or races in, and refusing to allow any intra-party conflict besides teasing made players flock to him to play under him. I pretty much said "I have no reason to believe this" to that.
He also hates Forgotten Realms and Spelljammer with a passion as well.
Actually, the best way to describe him is "hates thing with irrational passion". That literally sums up everything I've seen about this guy.

Nope, this guy's not a troll. He's just not yet outgrown the egocentric portion of his childhood.
(Also, I tried to capture the essence of his posts, but I'm afraid I may have made him more legible than he normally is.)
He's also got this bug up his butt about the fact that gnomes aren't yet playable in DDO.
Despite the fact that Eberron Gnomes basically look like halflings (who look more like kender than actual halflings).

There's a classic optimization concerning gnomes (and even worse: whisper gnomes). It's called the gnome illusionist, due to the gnomes' latent tendency to create illusions. IIRC, some gnomes even have the prestidigitation spell as a spell-like ability, and they cast illusion spells at +1 caster level. Maybe he likes this? He sounds just like a grumpy wizard to me (ok, I confess, I hate wizards)...

His entire reason for pushing it is that it's a core race that hasn't been added yet.
Also, the illusion spell list in DDO is sorely lacking.
Chameleon in Oblivion was pretty much as broken as Morrowind's Chameleon.
It wasn't until Skyrim removed it that it was fixed. And the people whined about it, too.

Can't you just agree that you have different preferences? And even if you are furious over something like that why take it out on the people who like X rather than the developers?

The "fad" has not only raised awareness for Lou Gherig's disease, but has raised $107.4 million as of now. It has done an unprecedented amount of good for medical research. Hating it and accusing it of being a "fad" is hideously obtuse.

I don't hate it, I'm just getting sick of hearing about it every day. Constant repetition is annoying, regardless of what specifically is being repeated to death.

Then ignore it? That's what everyone else does.
I'm saying ignoring it doesn't help. It's been all over my usual sites for the past month or so. Ignoring it doesn't mean you stop hearing about it over and over again. If it did, this wouldn't be an issue in the first place.
Ah yes, "stop letting it bother you". Where have I heard that before? Well, I envy you if that actually works for you. However, as I thought I made perfectly clear already, hearing the same thing over and over again is what's annoying. Whether I ignore or actively engage with it is irrelevant.
Finnish People, christ-like christians, horny gay people who enjoy eating ass, and pagans.What do you have against Finns?
My point is, if you ignore it, it doesn't matter if it's repetitive because you don't notice it. That's how ignoring works. You put it out of your mind.Up to a certain point, sure. Beyond that, not so much. You ever been on a plane with a screaming kid nearby? I assure you, ignoring it doesn't exactly prevent it from pissing you the fuck off. This is the same basic principle.
As far as "I'm getting really sick of this ice bucket fad" goes... well, tough shit. I know that the moment something becomes "trendy", it becomes a personal affront to all five of your senses, but the fact that this is a fad is a good thing. It means that money is going towards research and aid towards people who need it. Things like this should be a fad more often.Well, the point is that it's annoying, and the whole point of this thread is to complain about things that annoy you. I suppose this would be a good time to turn your own logic back on yourself. If someone is annoyed by something that you like, then you're the one who should ignore it. If for no other reason than trying to convince people that they should feel the same way about things that you feel is just the world's biggest exercise in pointlessness and also very very pretentious.
You're complaining about something that, for once, is a good thing. Just because it's repetitive. That's kinda fucked up.

If for no other reason than trying to convince people that they should feel the same way about things that you feel is just the world's biggest exercise in pointlessness and also very very pretentious.
I notice how this addressed nothing about what I actually said, and is basically a long winded "no u."I didn't say you're not welcome to try, I said you're not going to actually achieve anything. Most people would've figured that out back on the previous page, but if you're really adamant about changing how I feel about something and you really have nothing better to do, then by all means, continue.
Last I checked, no one here has their opinion protected by being on-topic. Other people have had their petty grievances called out for being exceptionally petty. They've been called out for being passive-aggressive, too. I don't see why you or I should get special treatment.
That's the joke.Finnish People, christ-like christians, horny gay people who enjoy eating ass, and pagans.What do you have against Finns?
Im more offended over the eating ass bit. Its awesome

My point is, if you ignore it, it doesn't matter if it's repetitive because you don't notice it. That's how ignoring works. You put it out of your mind.Up to a certain point, sure. Beyond that, not so much. You ever been on a plane with a screaming kid nearby? I assure you, ignoring it doesn't exactly prevent it from pissing you the fuck off. This is the same basic principle.
No, a screaming child is shrill, loud, and unceasing. There's a lot more to it than repetition.
There are two sides to the ice bucket challenge. On the one hand, it's raising money for ALS (although only a tiny fraction of people's donations go to actual research, but that's another issue). On the other hand, tons of people are doing the challenge and not donating money, but posting the video anyway so they can feel like they're making a difference. It's massive slacktivism, in that case. And that's irritating as fuck. This whole argument is irritating as fuck, really.They also quite rarely mention (or even know) the purpose behind the challenge. They are doing it for the fame and nominating friends and/or celebreties but aren't even doing much to raise awareness for ALS.
I find the ice bucket challenge a bit wasteful of clean water. I had someone on my Facebook explain ahead of time that if she were ever issued the ice bucket challenge, she would simply donate because she can't stand wasting clean water and ice like that.
although only a tiny fraction of people's donations go to actual research, but that's another issue)
Even if only 20% of the donations went to ALS research.....the rest go to raising awareness, giving people who suffer from this disease a better life, and ad time on TV for more donations.
Ironbite-not like it's going to someone's pockets.
Quotealthough only a tiny fraction of people's donations go to actual research, but that's another issue)
The ALS Association debunked that here (http://www.alsa.org/news/archive/debunks-article.html).
Well, money is being donated at least, so it's not pointless when compared to a lot of other things.Quotealthough only a tiny fraction of people's donations go to actual research, but that's another issue)
The ALS Association debunked that here (http://www.alsa.org/news/archive/debunks-article.html).
I will concede that point, then (though I don't know which sites people are using to donate their money, so there could always be dickheaded places that pocket a large chunk of donations). However, that doesn't change my point that the massive amounts of slacktivism are irritating as fuck. That's what annoys me the most. At that point, it's not much different from people spamming certain hashtags on Twitter.
So one of my classmates has made it his sole mission to annoy me in all my classes and touch my shit. It's come to a head today when he decided to be a perverted motherfucker and ask me if I'm a virgin I hate this person and I can't wait until I graduate so I never have to see his stupid ass again!

If it hasn't been stated already, it annoys me when people post things on Facebook that they didn't bother to fact check before sharing and posting it. I usually try to explain to them the truth behind the post and provide a link debunking the post. Still, posts such as "congress trying to mandate everyone getting an RFID chip in their hand", "researchers found a corpse of a mermaid", and "share this post and (insert name) will get (insert monetary amount) for his/her treatment of (insert illness or injury)" will appear on my wall.
I've never had problems skipping ahead. It takes a bit longer, but it always works for me.

When people say "weary" and mean "wary".So you cold say you're wary of th- *shot*
So you have become weary and wary of people mistaking wary for weary and weary for wary.Verily.
You've become so weary, you're wary of any confusion of weary and wary.
My laptop is, metaphorically speaking, dying...
It has been months since I've been able to use it for games. Until yesterday I could at least browse the internet and watch videos on it but now it won't play videos. I have no idea what is causing this, no program will display video files that have been saved on the computer. The sounds work, it plays music, but there is no video.
Apart from Youtube, but only on small screen, if I try to put it on full screen it goes black (but plays the sounds.)
My only headset's decided to fuck up. Now, the audio only comes in through the right ear, not both ears.
I like the dragonborn too. They could have just made them boring little dragons, but instead they gave them an interesting culture and important history.
(Why yes, female dragonborn do have boobs. I give precisely zero fucks about this.)a) Dragons not lizards.

[...]Wizards literally have no conception of right and wrong[...]
Wait...what?! Since when, exactly? That's entirely dependent on alignment.
Dragonborn are about as deep as Everest and no it's about 99% of dragonborn that are munchkin and yes my mind is closed regarding them they should never been added to pnp much less should they ever be in ddo. I have seen no sign they plan to add them so you deal with that
I did read races of the dragon at my local game store and I wouldn't have taken the book if it was free and I did look up the race for 3.5 when a local kid wanted to join my group back where I use to live after reading it I refused to allow it and he took off in a huff, he later wanted back in and then left in a huff again when I wouldn't allow him to be evil. I know enough about it to know its pure hardcore munchkin cheese! I ran my last group for 18 years until I moved and they had no problems with my banning it and thankfully there is no cheese in my new chosen pnp game.
No munchkin players are the ones who usually want to play evil the munchkin cheese is the dragonborn and similar races. and once again there is no real role playing in any mmo. and less in ddo then some others and that is sad. Lucky for me I got my RP fix in our pnp game tonight playing civilians in a aliens universe game.
So...he gets off on playing NPC classes. That's what I got from his last post. I'm calling bullshit, he doesn't know the first thing about D&D, let alone being a DM. Hell, I know more about being a DM than he does.Actually playing a civilian in a game with lots of dangerous combat can be fun. It gives a fish out of water feeling and turns it into survival horror (as if Aliens wasn't already survival horror.)

Neverwinter Online's Dragonborn Race can only be obtained as part of the "Dragonborn Legend Pack", and not as a standalone race.
How much does the entire pack cost, you ask?
$75
FUCK. ING. HEL.

I think that, when they say they're "anti-feminist", they really mean they're against the (unfortunately) popular conceptions of feminism. For the most part, anyway.It annoys me when they basically just defend the status quo and hijack conversations.
The term "Social Justice Warrior" in general. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I feel like this is a smear term against rational-minded individuals instead of actually thin-skinned idiots who claim they're a character from a work of fiction or gets offended over a picture of a hamburger or someone's negative opinion on Sherlock.
Markiplier's not a PDP clone, but he's almost as annoying. Both are from the same school of "IT'S FUNNIER THE LOUDER I AM" and appealing to the lowest common denominator. Markiplier just isn't as terrible of a person as PDP.
I like Markiplier. He seems like a genuinely down-to-earth guy despite being Internet Famous.
If we'd have gone to school together, we probably would have been friends.
Odd way of judging if I like someone or not, I know, but hey it works so far.

I attempted to watch one of Markiplier's videos and almost immediately switched to someone else because he was fairly annoying. But I don't think he's a bag of dicks who needs to die, or anything. Just not an enjoyable person when it comes to LPs.

Exactly. Markiplier isn't a bad guy and he's not an asshole. He's just immature and loud and he relies a lot on overblown screaming and humor for the lowest common denominator.
PewDiePie and DarkSydePhil are the only LPers I can really say that I detest, and DSP is pretty much a terrible human being on top of that.

As if the events of yesterday weren't bad enough, now the entire left side of my upper torso fucking kills. I physically can't take deep breaths, something as simple as standing up or moving my left arm fucking sucks anus and now said arm is starting to tingle ever so slightly. If this keeps up, I've no idea how the fuck I'm going to get to sleep tonight.

Half n half. I do biochemistry but cut open dead people. When they're alive...not so good
Yes, that spell will make you evil, because it is fueled by evil energies.
No, Paladin, you cannot just graciously accept Infernal Healing, it's fueled with evil energy and was created by Asmodeus, who is most likely an enemy of whatever deity you worship..

Indeed, I've often been upset by settings that DO have absolute good and evil. It weakens story telling possibilities. And frankly, it makes no sense.
Considering the canon is largely shit anyways, I say we just discard it.
But making EVERYTHING morally ambiguous is... well, honestly, it's even more cliche than making everything black and white anymore-

A thing that annoys me is people who try to force total moral ambiguity into a setting where it doesn't make sense.
Such as a setting where "good" and "evil" are literal, tangible forces that can fuel magic and where For The Evulz is actually practical.

I got stung by a hornet. I was walking and it stung me on my upper back near my left shoulder. I never saw it coming, only felt it stung me then saw it fly off.
Yeah, we saw a frighteningly large hornet outside our window a week or two ago. It, thankfully, didn't get inside, but the son of a bitch was the size of my god damned thumb.
Spelling errors in published works. They should know better. For that matter, spelling errors in an ebook that aren't present in the physical book edition. I've half a mind to go through and write down every single error I see and mail it to the publisher (or Amazon)...Could be worse. Could be the Declaration of Independence.
...I wonder if I could get a job that way...
Dude, UP, spoiler that shit. I practically fell out of my chair seeing a picture of that fucking thing.
Dear god...

My parents discovered the OpenDNS parental settings. Doesn't affect my PC because I'm already using a different DNS, but circumventing this on all my devices is going to be so much fun.Update on this, it seems like my parents actually didn't do it, so it was either some kind of mistake or my ISP is trying to get draconian. We changed the DNS on the router itself and that fixed the problem.
I researched what it would realistically cost for me to go to college (both a community college and state university) and said "fuck that, I'm moving to Finland." Just to be clear, tuition alone costs more money than has ever passed through my hands....If you really plan to do that let us know.

Yeah, I know.

Actually there are no tuition fees in Finland (apart from a few masters degrees), however you must independently cover all your living expenses.I researched what it would realistically cost for me to go to college (both a community college and state university) and said "fuck that, I'm moving to Finland."

Also, you may not even need to bother with college at all. Tradesmen, for example, make a hell of a lot of money, and a lot more reliably than a college graduate, so perhaps an apprenticeship is a good option?

Whenever some neckbeard makes an argument that's either based on nonsense conclusions ("feminists write books, so did the Nazis, therefore feminists are Nazis), or blindingly false ("if women don't want to get raped then they shouldn't leave the kitchen") and then gets condescending or pissy when people mock their arguments.This (http://www.manfeels-park.com/comic/lake-scene/) should make you feel better.

A thing that annoys me is the fact that people are literally getting more upset over a flag being burned in Ferguson than the atrocious violations of human rights that are going on there.That flag was no angel anyway.
I never really understood why anyone cares about flag burning anyway. I've seen the UK flag being burnt many times and I really could not give a fuck. The list of things I give fewer fucks about is quite brief. Besides, it's not my flag you're burning it's YOUR flag, you're the one who paid for it just to destroy it so the jokes on you.You're from Ulster, right? I'd imagine that most rational people there are far less interested in patriotism than the average American, seeing as you'd know what it can do to a place.
But then I've never really gotten patriotism and national pride and all that in general. Personally, I think the world would be a better place if everyone in it just forgot about all that bollocks and we stopped thinking of ourselves in terms of nationalities and we just got together like one big happy hippie family.

Prime Minister John Howard - Australia
Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.
Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques. Quote: 'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians.'
'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom'
'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society . Learn the language!'
'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.'
'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.'
'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom,
'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.'
'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.'
Maybe if we circulate this amongst ourselves, American and Canadian citizens will find the backbone to start speaking and voicing the same truths.
If you agree ... please SHARE.
Australia's xenophobic government has been taking immigrants from behind for years now. This is par for the course.Erm, "taking" tends to mean being catcher rather than pitcher. Also, that doesn't really have anything to do with the point I was trying to make.
On this recent attack ad against Greg Abbott people claiming Wendy Davis is attacking his disability rather than his hypocrisy (he has successfully sued against disabled people and that bastard is paralyzed from the waist-down).I've seen that ad, and frankly, I wish more democrats would run ads like that. Shame Texas has been so gerrymandered and taken over by idiots that Abbot's winning.
Or, the fact that people who happen to be followers being so quick to defend him.
WINDOWS 8.1.(click to show/hide)

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.
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.
I think you should report her.
Well, the good thing is you saved it.Yeah, it is a good thing. His name's Salem and he's a real sweetheart. Not super cuddly, which is understandable, but he'll purr and purr and purr if you give him some scritches. I can't keep him, though, because I'm at cat capacity (catpacity?).
Any no-kill shelters in your area? Or anyone that would like a cat? *Hopes*Yes and yes, fortunately. My brother's friend might take him in after he's healthy, and if that doesn't work out there's a no-kill shelter two towns over. This is really the best possible outcome for the little guy, but I can't help getting mad at the asshole who put him in this situation.

Being told to "wear something nice" to a "college event" you're going to (that takes place a five-hour ride from where you live (which you weren't told)), and dressing in a button-down shirt, a pair of slacks, and dress shoes, only to find out they meant "don't dress like a slob/slut," everyone else wearing jeans, and the "college event"being a goddamned football game.
American football, or actual football?

Also, you were still the classiest motherfucker there. That's gotta count for somethin.

As I have been ignoring the original argument since 2-3 pages after it started, I am left wondering what happened.

Interesting. The way I remember it, Distind had a perfectly reasonable position on transpeople but he wasn't tolerating the fringe elements of the social justice circlejerk. Naturally, the SJ crowd dogpiled on him in something that reminded me a little too much of PZ's crowd.
I know he's not coming back, but you guys did chase him away.

As I recall he said something like (or that some people interpreted to mean) "transwomen are men" and tried to backtrack and the whole thing became a huge shitstorm.
The "peasants" revolt, call him a fuckwad, authority over the forum is handed over to Sigma, negotiations are held between him and Distind, and we keep the forum, host, and data, just not our original name as Distind's final "fuck you" to us ungrateful serfs.
People are already pissing their pants about Distind again. Not much I can do about that, but I read the beginning of that thread and I didn't find anything Distind said objectionable.(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/proxy/0wg1earGfif1JBDKvLrwxHauH5NSiD7scBvIDTo5h2GRWbuOOvRH81E0TPTga9mTqiIWwuU8Q2B3Czih4IXDakxR7vJjIaZ2n3ZeDnUzJ2HEdA0I0uI0xA=w500-h275-nc)
Of course, it was him versus the tumblrinas, so they shouted him down.

Overly moderated message boards. Obviously that's not the case here, but other message boards are terrible in that regard. For some, it's just a ban on controversial topics. The moderators can become very strict about what constitutes controversial (they wouldn't allow a discussion on SOPA even though if passed, it could have killed the site), but compared to some of these other sites, bans on controversial topics are at the low end of overly moderated. I've been on message boards where mods have banned people for things as petty as spelling and grammar errors. And then there's the editors. My god the editors who have to edit every post so that it fits perfectly in line with everything else. Fucking font can result in editing and don't get me started on those douchebag mods who delete or edit posts because they go slightly off topic.

Yes, they have a "no cussing" rule, because apparently, 13 year-olds (the "minimum age" of the forums, though we all know kids lie thru their teeth about that shit) have never heard a single curse word, and most certainly DON'T use language saltier than the most weathered sailor, therefore we must protect their virgin eyes from nasty bad words.

These people who assume that you or your attitude are to blame for what ever problem your having, even when it's clear that other people are the ones with the problem. Family problems? Well your attitude sucks, so that's probably to blame. Late to work because of a traffic jam you had no control over? You should have been more prepared. Got a jerk boss who hates your guts? Well, you probably did something to annoy him. I don't know what that is, but I'm sure it's your fault somehow.Oh, nice job starting that war in Syria, asshole.
They just can't accept that some things are not your fault.

Whenever people make statements where they say they're against a really offensive position then state how they have a slightly less offensive opinion (E.G. "I'm against murdering trans-women but I still think they should be sent to mental institutions." "Now, I don't think a woman should be raped if they dress like a slut, it's just that if they dress like a slut and get raped it's mostly their fault.")
Also, people who act as if both sides in every argument have equal moral standing. I swear the argument could be "Should we round up and violently murder the poor and mentally ill?" and someone would go "Both sides need to recognize that they each have a point in their own way."
I'm more referring to people who give really terrible middle ground (E.H. "Well, one side proposes we round up and murder all the poor and mentally ill, the other is against this, clearly the solution is to kill some of the poor and mental ill." or alternatively "In Ferguson one side is composed of looters and the other of the KKK, I think both sides should stop fighting and go back to how things were before")Whenever people make statements where they say they're against a really offensive position then state how they have a slightly less offensive opinion (E.G. "I'm against murdering trans-women but I still think they should be sent to mental institutions." "Now, I don't think a woman should be raped if they dress like a slut, it's just that if they dress like a slut and get raped it's mostly their fault.")

...WE DON'T EVEN CELEBRATE THANKSGIVING OR ANYTHING LIKE IT! Why the hell are you trying to bring black friday to Finland?!

I was miffed when people started eating turkey on christmas (That is not a traditional christmas meal and I will stab anyone who claims otherwise!)
But today I saw "black friday" sales in Finland.

So far it appears that only companies from USA like Toys are us is trying to get it going but if it is successful I consider it to a Casus Belli...
People who don't respond to me.
The fact that the media isn't reporting any if the fuckton of cases of excessive violence against protestors.In a related note, the media hyper-focusing on scumbags who take advantage of the protests to start shit - and the possibility that the troublemakers were planted there (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/COINTELPRO) to vilify or discredit the rest of the crowd.
Also the fact that people are already losing interest.
Hell, I'm American, and I'm sick of the Black Friday bullshit. Its all a giant scam, anyway, you aren't saving shit and in many cases, you're actually spending more than if you were to buy it a week or two either way of Black Friday.

I boot up my computer today, and it would seem that it's completely forgotten that wireless internet is a thing. The light that indicates the wireless adapter is on is on, but all functionality related to wi-fi has mysteriously vanished. How the fucking Christ does that even happen?! Did Microsoft really fuck up that badly with their last update or is my laptop just giving up on life?

Is there any way you can toggle your wireless off and back on again without rebooting? My machine occasionally derps the wireless, but mine's just a little USB dongle, so I can just take it out and back in and it works just fine after a few seconds of reconnecting to the router.

Christmas carols. Whoever thought playing the same five songs over and over and over again every Christmas was a good idea needs to be lynched.Hey, at least they're not playing Christmas Shoes every five minutes anymore. That thing was creepy.
Granted, I get to listen to "Let It Go" all day at work, now, so only marginally better...
That includes I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, some stupid novelty Christmas song anyway.Don't know that song. Is it a parody of I Saw Mommy Kissing Yog-Sothoth? ;)
There's been another torrent-related police raid in Sweden (http://torrentfreak.com/swedish-police-raid-the-pirate-bay-site-offline-141209/) today, and the Pirate Bay (as well as some other torrent sites) have been down for most of the day because of it. Chances are, this won't kill the single best torrent site on the net, but its still annoying as all hell. I wish they'd just fuck off already and finally realize that they already lost the war.
Re: Christmas music.It just so happens I have a fresh new alternative to Frosty the Snowman.
I would find Christmas music a lot more tolerable if more people would come out with actual new material each year, rather than just playing the same songs or covers thereof over and over.

Re: Christmas music.
I would find Christmas music a lot more tolerable if more people would come out with actual new material each year, rather than just playing the same songs or covers thereof over and over. Trans-Siberian Orchestra is an excellent example...it's true that a lot of their music is covers of older songs, but they actually make it sound different from the original, and they still come out with a lot of their own music as well.
Why, though? Why concentrate on a generation that's close to being on its way out?

I really hate when the controversy you're referring to is over a game that's not even as good as per say, games of comparable violence like Manhunt or Postal. And with the latter, that's a pretty damn low bar.
All this over a game which rips off Doom's logo, and when those Neo-nazi shits could be giving us a spiritual successor to Painkiller or Bulletstorm. Shitheads just had to push their fauxlosophical bullshit.

A could simply be someone arranging situations so that the two meet and realize that they are perfect for each other. It is not necessary to have "instant love spells" in a cupid story although it is common. But I agree that a love potion is a date rape drug.

Yes, I am a straight white male. But I'm also an avid fisherman. I'm one hell of a cook. I'm handy around the house fixing stuff. I'm a halfway decent father. A very fair (if somewhat stern) boss. My knowledge of saltwater reef husbandry is impressive. I have the ability to grow an awesome beard.Cool.
In other words, there is so much more to me than the color of my skin, the junk between my legs, and what I chose to do with said junk.Yeah, here's the thing: everyone knows that. Nobody considers someone's whiteness, masculinity, or heterosexuality to be a defining character trait. "White, straight, male" is considered the norm. It's a blank slate. With few exceptions, nobody has any particular assumptions or hurtful stereotypes associated with being a white straight male.
In fact, my heart goes out to anyone who defines themselves so one dimensionally.The only thing sadder than people who define themselves that way are people who define others like that.

Rebuttal to point one: the Latin prefix "cis" means "on this side of", and is the antonym of "trans". It's also used in the context of organic chemistry. (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cis-trans_isomerism) It's no more "made up" than the rest of the Latin-derived bits of the English language. And even if it was "made up" (which all language is), it's not hard to understand. "Selfie" is younger than my cat, but unless this is the first time you've crawled out from underneath whatever rock you were previously living under, you know what a selfie is. The fact that you (plural) are unfamiliar with a word doesn't make it less real.

When I got my current phone number, I discovered that the only reason I was able to get it is because the previous owner quietly and hurriedly replaced it to try and avoid debt collectors. I've spent YEARS getting calls for him (mostly from Georgia), since the guy is long past the point of being taken to court.
I looked him up and he's a local wannabe DJ who sells HVAC units as his day job. I occasionally ponder running over to the shop he works at to yell at him.
The poster accused someone of the appeal to nature fallacy for saying that cats are carnivores and need to eat meat.
1st world problem right here:
As most people can probably guess, the two main uses for "professional" telephoto lenses are sports and wildlife photography. So why the hell does Canon insist on putting shiny, reflective metal plaques on lenses where half the target market is using them for timid, easily spooked animals? Seriously, why would you do that? Why not just attach an air-horn that goes off every 5 seconds while you're at it.

I'm both annoyed by that and annoyed that I'm annoyed because it's pointless pedantry. It's worse than the Frankenstein/Frankenstein's monster thing.
Yeah, sure, but "Frankenstein's monster" is a bit too long, there's no shorter version, and it's usually clear by context whether one means the monster or the scientist. It still bugs me, but as I've established before I'm annoyed by my own pedantry.

If you want a "shorter version", why not call him Adam? That's what Mary Shelly called the monster sometimes.

You shouldn't feel bad about your own pedantry; the only people who complain about others' pedantry are people whose egos can't ever just accept the fact that they're wrong, they have to feel better about themselves by belittling the other person as if somehow they're the asshole for actually knowing stuff. If anyone, without any sense of irony or humour, accuses you of being pedantic make sure they fully understand just how much of a cunt they are before you walk away smugly, secure in the knowledge that you're in the right and that you're better than them simply by the virtue of actually giving a fuck about truth and facts. Accuracy matters. Try telling someone who mixes chemical explosives for a living, or a nurse giving our medications, that accuracy doesn't matter. Ok, calling Frankenstein's monster Frankenstein might not result in death but it's the principle that counts lol.

That thing where when someone comes out as queer in fiction they immediately change their entire look and get a makeover, new clothing styles, etc., often finishing with wanting to go into hairdressing or theater or interior decorating.
Before I came out as bisexual, I dressed in mostly practical and efficient clothing and my main ambition was to become a paleontologist. After I came out, I...still dressed in practical and efficient clothing and wanted to be a paleontologist.
Note to the media next time: We're still the same people we were before coming out, and to imply otherwise is just feeding the "it's a choice" bullshit.

If it has no effect on the character, is it worth mentioning in fiction? It would at least have to set up a plot point later.

There are any number of plot developments that could result from a coming-out that wouldn't involve derailing the character. Conflict with conservative parents, new love interests, etc. all work off it despite nothing else being different.

Originally when it was a bunch of different pre-release packages with a single gun and some armour it was ok. Now that all of the packages have been combined it is too much. ...Unless of course you throw most of the stuff away on purpose.Even that kind of reeks of bullshit to me. I guess it's also the idea of paying for "DLC" that you could just as easily acquire by Googling the console commands that rubs me the wrong way.

I guess if there are unique items, fine. I still say paying money just for a few early game items is a massive rip off, but that's entirely subjective. However, how is "you can get exactly the same result by using cheats" not a valid criticism, much less one that apparently annoys you so much?Originally when it was a bunch of different pre-release packages with a single gun and some armour it was ok.

a) The caches gave you gear that you could not find elsewhere in the game.
b) If your answer is "I can hack the game or use cheat codes to achieve the same results and therefore the DLC is bad" then I am done discussing this topic.

Is it hot to the touch? Are you running a fever?
Is it hot to the touch? Are you running a fever?
No fever, and if the swelling on my hurt shin is any warmer than my other shin, the difference is so slight it's not immediately noticeable, if at all (though it doesn't help that I sit with my legs folded constantly). The skin above the swelling feels weird when I touch it, kind of like a numb feeling, but not really. When I press it, there's hardly any pain, but it feels weird, like pressing down on a water balloon.
And when I say 'balloon' I don't mean spherical, like a grapefruit. It's long, running up my shin where the scrape is, and it's not even raised enough to be immediately noticeable unless you actually stop and look at the leg. But I sure as hell can feel it. Sometimes it almost tickles when it shifts, it feels so weird.
i just vomited out my guts ( bad meat), and my nostrils feel like they're on fire.

Sounds like it came with a shitload of adware. If you Google the name of the program, chances are very high that someone has written a guide for all the adware it dumps onto your system as well as how to get rid of it. Failing that, downloading and running Adware Removal Tool and Junkware Removal Tool should go a long way to getting rid of at least most of the adware.I tried that and ...it appears to have done the trick.

Ribs are usually self-splinting, as they're connected to each other by tough tissue. If it doesn't feel any better soon, I have to suggest you go to a orthopedist.
I'm trying not to be biased, as I'm not a big fan of chiropractic therapy in general, but it's hard sometimes.
Not really, the one I've got is the one I'm stuck with till I've saved up for a new one. I'm too busty for any safe-ish DIY methods to work well (like the backwards-cami method, layered sports bras, or making one out of cloth). It's this, a parka, or ace bandages. If I'm out and about I can get away with three shirts and an oversized sweatshirt, but it's too warm for that to work at my job and my coworkers are used to seeing me with the binder on.

Between that and the chronic rash....is there a better type or alternative to your current binder? Seriously, you're getting symptoms a lot like Victorian era women got from their corsets. There's got to be something better of material that "breathes" and doesn't over-tighten when you're bending and moving around in general.
I swear, I'm getting pickier by the day. I had chicken strips the other day (Tyson honey BBQ flavour) that were absolutely vile. Normally, I can stomach bad food rather easily, mostly born from a life of occasionally having only a single, somewhat out-of-date, mustard packet for lunch, but my god, I damn near vomited. I usually laugh when people are getting all vomity at bad, yet perfectly edible, food. I'm getting to where I can't stand poor-quality (as in poor encoding quality) music, anymore. What the fuck is going wrong with me, and how the hell do I stop it?I get that too. Only a couple of years ago, I was perfectly happy to play games at 15-20fps, graphics settings at their absolute minimum and resolution at something ridiculous like 640x480. Nowadays, anything less than 30fps at 720p can fuck right off, I can't see that trend stopping, much less reversing, anytime soon.

Just going on previous info, I am going to say him hiding it was almost gonna kill you / cause permanent damage.Eh, missing a dose won't fuck me up too bad. It would take a couple of months for me to spiral out of control and I'll either be gone by then or my mom will step in. Besides, "charged with murder/attempted murder/etc" looks really bad on a background check.
If I were you, I would return the favour to him.
Can I just say you dad sounds like a massive pile of crap and I hope that when you get on you feet and move out and never have to see him again you cut all ties to him.That's the plan.

On the subject of mental illness: The "Suicidal people are selfish" bullshit....Unless the suicidal person is a mother who decides to kill her kids along with herself. In that case people will have sympathy and explain that she simply wanted to "spare the children from this horrible world" and that no one is allowed to condemn her actions. Because being a mother is hard.
People in Finland (and other civilied countries) are enlightened enough to have sympathy for the sick and deluded mother in such a case. But not here. At all. More like, "Burn the Witch!" if she fails to kill herself, and "She's burning in Hell, God bless the little ones!" if she does die.On the subject of mental illness: The "Suicidal people are selfish" bullshit....Unless the suicidal person is a mother who decides to kill her kids along with herself. In that case people will have sympathy and explain that she simply wanted to "spare the children from this horrible world" and that no one is allowed to condemn her actions. Because being a mother is hard.
The same treatment won't be extended to fathers who do the same.

Yeaaaaah, I'd sue them for damages and take them for every god damned penny you can wring out of their wallets. You do not fuck over someone's house like that, especially when you're renting, and even MORE especially when you haven't even paid your fucking security deposit, yet.

We have an economy based on an exponential increase in debts. Explicit debtor's prisons would be an incredibly bad idea that would make our disastrous experiments in economic austerity look mild by comparison.
Also you should really know better than to bring back one of the great human-rights-violating institutions of ages past. If we won't let UN inspectors into our regular prisons, I shudder to think of what antics a modern U.S. debtor's prison would be up to.

So I was on the bus today and at the stop after I got on, a whole bunch of undergrads got on, clearly already getting drunk. They were loud and obnoxious, and some of them had whatever they were drinking in open containers. (I was glad none of them spilled anything on the book I was reading.) It was bad enough that the driver called security to meet the bus at the main transit loop here.I'm wondering if the Nation of Islam had a point...
The security guy told them that if they didn't shape up, the police would be called. Thankfully the bus reached their stop just as they were getting really bad again.

I had some money coming to my account (way late) and decided to get something for myself for change.
First option was Elite Dangerous but after checking system requirements it was obvious that it would not work on my computer...
Plan B was Pillars of Eternity (I would have been able to get the Pre-order deal just hours before deadline) but that one had even tougher requirements...
So I went browsing GOG until I eventually settled for something cheaper and less painful for my computer.

"Documentary filmmaking has to move away from pure fact-based movies because facts per se do not constitute truth” - Werner Herzog
"I believe that documentary filmmaking - and I’m one of the great advocates - has to move away from the pure, fact-based movies, because facts, per se, do not constitute truth. Otherwise the Manhattan phone directory would be the book of books; four million entries, every single one factually correct. Mr. Jonathan Smith - his address and telephone number can be verified correct. But whether he has nightmares or whether he cries into his pillow each night, we do not know. And that’s where filmmaking has to move."

It's been a wwhile since I've been on fanfiction.net, but back when I did read stuff from there it seemed like a good chunk of the stories on there were lemons. Granted you'd only ever see them if you turned the filter settings to allow stories of any age rating.

White people claiming to be equally disgusted by "both sides" of the Baltimore conflict.
My guess is he's talking about the folks who say "oh, sure, police brutality is a problem, but some people rioted, which is clearly representative of ALL the protesters, so both are equally bad." No. The rioters are bad, but they are a minority taking advantage of the situation, AND the almost assuredly will be prosecuted. That's not a guarantee with the police.White people claiming to be equally disgusted by "both sides" of the Baltimore conflict.
Can you clarify that?
Plus, even if the majority of protestors were rioters, it still feels like a false equivlency to compare the two.My guess is he's talking about the folks who say "oh, sure, police brutality is a problem, but some people rioted, which is clearly representative of ALL the protesters, so both are equally bad."

@Lizard: That reads as tongue-in-cheek, to me. Gotta remember, the dude's kinda like Buckley, his humour is specifically meant to get a rise outta you. Also, if the "people die all the time" thing is actually him, then...he's not wrong. People pick and choose the lives (and, thus, deaths) that matter to them all the time. Are you sad when a random person dies in, say, Burma? Yet, we're all outraged when a cop shoots a fleeing suspect in the back. We prioritize all the time, that's how a normal human mind is supposed to work."The people die all the time ect." wasn't him, it was an unrelated thing I see on the intenternet Generally their will be some tragic story, then some guy will come along and say "meh, people die all the time, why should I care about this?"

I'm trying to finish my thesis this week. I've been working on it for years, and it's due at the end of August. I've collected all of the data, and I just need to run the model and write up the results. To do this, I need access to SPSS, which is (theoretically) available for free for a 2 week trial period, which is plenty of time.
Here are the steps that I've gone through to try to get it, and why each one has failed.
1. Tried to download it on Chrome (need Java, Chrome and Java don't work)
2. Tried to download it on Firefox (Firefox is fucked up and laggy)
3. Tried to fix Firefox (updates and solutions didn't work)
4. Tried to download SPSS on IE (Java is out of date)
5. Updated Java, tried to download SPSS again on IE (Java is out of date)
6. Switched back to Firefox, even though it took 20 minutes to fill out their 12 question download form (Java is disabled)
7. Enabled Java, successfully downloaded after spending another 20 minutes on the stupid form
8. Attempted to install three times, failed every time without explanation
9. Got pissed off, gave up... came back a few hours later, attempted another install, and it worked for no reason
10. Joyously opened SPSS and attempted to copy my data into an SPSS dataset. (failed due to error with license)
11. Checked license, it's valid
12. Checked SPSS troubleshooting, found and implemented solution (twice, because the first time it didn't even pretend to work).
13. Opened SPSS again, failed due to error with license.
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK! Seriously, I just need it to run a couple of simple crosstabs and one goddamn regression. I am now in the process of uninstalling SPSS 18, for which I had a paid subscription in 2011, hoping that its presence on my computer is somehow interfering with SPSS 23, which I should be able to freely use for two weeks. Obviously, that's not going to work, because there's no reason that it should, and nothing in this process has worked correctly even when there's no reason that it shouldn't.
My wife suggested that I buy it, but since I'm not technically enrolled in any courses, I can't get the $150 year long subscription, I would have to pay $2500 for a year of the cheapest version. This price is particularly steep considering that the evidence seems to indicate that I won't be able to open it anyway.

I've always liked Avast and recommended it to anyone who needed a free antivirus program, but their latest versions have become downright obnoxious about advertising the premium version; Avast allows you to select options that you think you have but takes you to their store because it turns out they're premium-only, Avast recommends you take action with a feature only to bring you to a store page because that action is premium-only, and now Avast has resorted to pop-up advertisements that can't be disabled unless you buy the premium version.I outright uninstalled Avast recently over that. Interestingly, my computer had been locking up constantly. Since I got rid of Avast, it's been working perfectly. Could be unrelated, but... um... O_o

Today, for the first time, I timed myself as I did each of my Rubik's Cubes (3x3, 4x4, 5x5, 6x6, and 7x7) with the goal of being able to do all five of them in less than an hour. My final time was 1:02:31. I'm now confident that I could do it if I devoted 100% of my attention to solving them, but it still doesn't count, and it will take another hour of my time to do so.

This one annoys me especially because most people have no idea how painful actual OCD can be. An example: My sister has it, so any time she touched an object, she always had to touch the other side of it. That kind of behavioral pattern really interrupts your daily life. The thoughts are far worse, though. Your brain turns on you and forces you to picture horrific images, like you murdering your family. Obviously you'd never commit such an act, but your brain gives no fucks and wants to supply you with vivid imagery. It's far more damaging than people make it out to be.
It has also made YouTube act like crap I had to actually re-download Fire Fox (a program I hated when they decided to turn every other text you use into an ad) so I could finally use fucking YouTube without it acting like crap.
Cracked. Remember when it was actually funny and insightful? Now it's just clickbait, doomsaying, and radflake bullshit. What's called "Cracked" now is nothing more than an abomination wearing Cracked's skin, like that roach-alien from Men in Black.

And just like with ibuprofen, I have to wait 6 hours between doses, meaning I have to endure this godawful headache for three fucking hours before I can do anything about it.
Fuck this weather.
Doesn't Tramadol knock you out, though? If memory serves, that's something my dad takes to, amongst other things, help him sleep and...resisting the urge to sleep does NOT lead to good things.
Someone who knows my address is playing a really sick joke on me, signing me up to volunteer for Trump's campaign. Not Cool, Seriously Not Cool. I suspect my Brother In Law, because he made an joke about me wearing a Trump button the other day on an FB post of mine. Also I'm taking ideas what I should do with the Trump campaign button, I'm leaning towards burning it, but I'm open to other suggestions.
On closer inspection, it doesn't give a room number to show up to, it just says "the Trump building in NYC", there is an address on the address label, the letter is vague for asking someone to show up somewhere, and they had access to the 10022 postal code(which is in NYC). Yeah, this has both my bro-in law and sister(she works in NYC), written all over this. I now need to get even with both of them.
Google a bunch of "daily deal" (i.e. assloads of spam) mailing lists and sign them up for every single one you can find. In fact, do this for as many mailing lists you can find that don't require email confirmation (stuff involving religion, politics, celebrities, penis enlargement and the like should fit the bill). Go to bunch of cyber sex chat rooms, flirt with the multitude of creeps you'll find, give them their e-mail/mobile phone numbers and ask for all the dick picks they can send. If you're still not satisfied, find any mormon/Jehova's Witnesses chapters in their area, give them their address and ask them to pay a visit. Preferably as early in the morning as possible.(http://uproxx.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/benwyatt-whiteflag3.gif?w=650)
Hey, go big or go home, that's what I say when it comes to pranks.
thermonuclear troll bomb
Don't forget that any occasion where some mistake or misplaced object bothers you is clearly OCD.People who use "Autistic" as an insult. I'm not Autistic, and even I'm offended. I can only imagine how actual Autistics feel.I don't like it either. Worse yet, on one forum I post on, it's part of their culture to use "autistic" to describe anything they don't like.
I know, right? That's so gay.
This one annoys me especially because most people have no idea how painful actual OCD can be. An example: My sister has it, so any time she touched an object, she always had to touch the other side of it. That kind of behavioral pattern really interrupts your daily life. The thoughts are far worse, though. Your brain turns on you and forces you to picture horrific images, like you murdering your family. Obviously you'd never commit such an act, but your brain gives no fucks and wants to supply you with vivid imagery. It's far more damaging than people make it out to be.
I just keep remembering something Deimos posted here once. "Ah, OCD. Did I remember to lock the door? Better check 20 times, just to make sure!!"
Fuck off, already, Tapatalk. If I wanted your bullshit, I'd download it. I just want to read a fucking forum.QFT!
After 4/5 years of her passing, me and my mom just found out that Grandma left us with a shit ton of medical debt, which up until now my uncle didn't even bother to tell us about. Yay, the joys of the American Healthcare system...I thought inheriting debt was all kinds of illegal, even in America.
Also if my conservatard aunts don't help out, their a special kind of hell for them, since my grandma was their fucking mother also. The burden shouldn't just be on my mom and uncle.

She's changed her mind, sounds like. Maybe send a simple text like, "If I made you feel uncomfortable about meeting, please accept my apologies. If you've simply changed your mind, I accept that. I am a bit disappointed, but I understand; it's the world we live in."
Well, the whole thing started with me noticing we lived in the same area and since the forum was largely based around a common interest in tabletop RPGs, I asked her if she'd like to get involved in some local gaming groups. She agreed, and I gave her my contact info. I located a D&D campaign that was recruiting players, and mentioned it to her. I asked her if she'd like to join in. she said yes and asked me to repeat my contact info. I did, and she then texted me. We discussed character options, and she seemed really eager to start. She even thanked me for reaching out to her during that conversation.
As it turned out, the game was incompatible with her current work schedule. I informed her of this and apologized, while saying the timeframe was still flexible and asked if she'd just like to hang out at some point the next week. She agreed and we discussed schedules. I sent what I knew, while promising an update after I got the full schedule and then she sent hers to me after she had found out hers.
Yesterday, I finally got information on what I would be doing on her days off, so I sent it and asked if she'd like to do something today. She agreed, I suggested visiting the local museum where I was volunteering (a public location with a lot of people, so as to avoid anything potentially risky), which seemed good to her. I then asked what the best time would be. She responded by saying she'd check the local mass transit schedules and get back to me later in the day. That was the last I heard from her.
Any warning signs here?

Possible point of etiquette to make here: encourage her to bring friends next time. That way she doesn't feel like she's walking into a potentially dangerous situation alone.
It’s been a week of unstinting praise for the parasitic head of a criminal organization that promotes lies and superstition, and I have been disgusted every time a journalist swoons over the fact that Pope Francis smiled or patted some little boy on the head.
The Pope is not your friend. He’s the Kool-Aid with the cloying sweet taste to mask the poison.
Family(Sister, Brother in law, and brother) came over today to visit, so it's let's bad mouth Millennials as being "Lazy" time.
The Pope. Just about everything the Pope says and especially the mad scramble of the press to quote him out of context to make him look like Change You Can Believe In™. He's an archconservative asshole with enough power to perpetuate the horrible crimes the Roman Catholic Church is involved in around the world.

Well, you have to remember that the Pope's not an autocrat. He backed proposals for wider acceptance of LGBT people, but hardline bishops shot them down.
Besides, you can't expect the Catholic Church to pull an about-face overnight. It would be nice if they did on certain issues, but you have to be realistic.

I don't have to expect an international criminal organization to change. I can only hope it becomes increasingly isolated from civilized society or dismantled.

"International criminal organization"
Yeah, because using terms like that proves how rational you are. Maybe I'd take your criticisms seriously if you'd quit using ad hominem attacks.
What's the matter, Christlike Christian? Did I hit a nerve? An accurate description of an organization in addition to its relevance to an argument is not ad hominem.
The RCC is a criminal organization that gets a pass in modern society because it's very old and very powerful.

The harbouring paedophiles thing certainly qualifies them as a criminal organisation. It's a proven fact that they move known child molesters from parish to parish in order to protect them from the police. If that doesn't make them a criminal organisation, then I don't know what does.

There's a world of difference between a criminal organization and an organization that commits (admittedly despicable) crimes. A "criminal organization" is an organization whose very existence is based on crime. By your logic, the BBC is a criminal organization.Eh, semantics. In practice, the correct response is pretty much the same.

Apparently Distind is stepping down as admin of FSTDT too. (http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=113343) I hope the site can still stay up in some form, even if it's read-only. I contributed a lot of lulzy quotes to that site.Huh. Maybe we can finally reunite the main page and forum? Eh, a guy can dream.

Were they also whining about "reverse racism" or whatever?Yes
Interestingly, I read in Distind's post where he says that FSTDT has been declining the last few years. Almost as if cutting the forum loose may have had an effect? It would be fitting indeed if a small group of us took the old site on board.
When people use in-universe justification for skeevy/bigoted/problematic elements in fiction. Fiction. Is. Designed. By. Real. People. It doesn't just form magically in the mystical Fictionland, FUCK this apologist bullshit.
(And no, this time it isn't about Quiet.)
It's actually past midnight over here so I'm not at my most coherent, I'll get back to this.
can you be more explicit? i can't seem to grasp what you're getting at.
i've got a pen and paper rpg that's set in post-apocalyptia and things like cannibalism, homosexuality, and bloodsports are common practices. hell, one "race" of those people are to a t polyamorous, forming clans instead of families. another race is so patriarchal as to mirror saudi arabia. that doesn't mean that me and my friends are sociopathic misogynists. we enjoy that universe precisely because it puts our worldview on its head. (that and because we've got a running game of genealogy that borders on the surrealistic thanks to the in-game concepts of filiation). but yeah, it's mostly about it being so "out-there" that we enjoy this group thought excercise.
You could always Highlander Chris Brown and claim the Prize.
People looking at one radical, relatively small facet of a movement and associating all of the movement with it. No, jackasses, feminism as a concept doesn't devalue male victims of domestic abuse, you're thinking of radfems, and quotes from like ten radfems don't mean TEH HOUL FING is a hate movement.
Also, MGTOWs. God I hate MGTOWs.
Seriously. Everyone who earnestly calls Tumblr a "liberal feminist echo chamber hivemind" or anything to that effect is invited to have their anus viciously hate-fisted by me. This sort of rhetoric fucking THRIVES there.
Also, another thing that annoys me: when people criticize/mock/complain about gendered marketing and asshats spin the issue as the complainants being the REAL sexists.
...gendered marketing... a concept that runs on perceived predispositions assigned to genders... isn't inherently sexist...
...oh no, I think I've gone cross-eyed.
If you're going to do that, can you Highlander Kanye West in the process? Please.
...gendered marketing... a concept that runs on perceived predispositions assigned to genders... isn't inherently sexist...

Acknowledging differences between genders isn't sexist. Now, one could argue (with legitimate grounds) that some gender differences are social constructs, but others are basic biology. For example, men tend to be better in abstract thought, whereas women are usually better at distinguishing minor details.
It certainly has its niche. For instance, things like bras and tampons are very much useful only to one gender. Obviously it's applied to products that really have no reason to be gendered, but that doesn't mean it's inherently sexist, just that many (possibly the majority) of its current applications are sexist.

The sample sizes in those kinds of studies are usually laughably small, and therefore aren't actually reliable in measuring the capabilities of men and women (groups that include BILLIONS of people) in any form, shape or size. It's simply inaccurate and reductionist to say that "men are naturally better at thing X" or "women are naturally better at thing Y".
I just got lectured for being nerdy, or not manly enough, apparently. Well, for watching Linkara's LP of Pokemon Omicron and some WTFIWWY Live instead of things with explosions and chicks, anyway. Apparently my hobbies are "childish". Not exactly sure what the fuck that was about.
Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.
Those weren't mentioned. Just that I was 20 and should be doing things that are "productive" during my downtime, and that my hobbies were childish.
Isn't the point of downtime to relax and enjoy yourself after you spend most of your time working?
People who make passive-aggressive posts in this thread about people rather than either letting it go or growing a pair and calling them out directly.Okay, removed.
Kind of like this one. Irritating, is it not?
I have to confess I hate it when my kids watch 'let's plays'. I don't mind them playing video games but watching someone else play them?
Svata just tell the dick to fuck right off. Who is he to tell you what's fucking productive or not. Plus I imagine he does something not so productive on his downtime so who is he to tell you what the fuck to do.
People complaining about games having really easy difficulty settings. Not everybody is as hardcore as you, asshole.

Er, his main hobby is selling guns/making ammo (for people who want custom amounts of powder in the cartridge and such).

I'd just like to say I passionalty despise the Reddit Default base.
They're a bunch fucking racist, sexist, transphobic twits who think of themselves a liberals because they smoke pot and think Bernie Sanders is neat.
Yeah, sorry for the venting. Just saw another thread with a bunch of upvoted transphobia.

i always go easy-peasy for the first playthrough. it helps me get the story and figure out game-killing combos for the later playthroughs. idiots who are "always hardcore. all the time" forget that playing games is meant to be enjoyable before anything else.
Had an entertaining customer, It was 9:30, we close at 9:30. I said nicely "Ma'am It's 9:30, we're closing" Her response, "You're not closing, I'm still shopping" I just walked away after that, and the manager then told them that we're closing about 5 minutes later. Seriously,last minute shoppers are the worst of the worst.
Look what you've gone and done, 'Bite. Now she's gonna go all yaoi fangirl on me...

'S nothin. We had some people (eight of em) come in and place an order at 8:58. We close at 9:00. They stuck around in our lobby until 9:45. Because of company policy, we weren't allowed to say anything to them asking them to hurry or leave or anything. The best part? The last 20 minutes they were there? Spent discussing goals and workout schedules for the track team with their kids.

Restaurants and retail stores operate very differently. "Closing time" for a restaurant is a misnomer. It actually should be called, "Final seating of the night is at (whatever-o-clock)". Every one I ever worked at had a house rule that customer order's must be all in by fifteen minutes after the "closing" time. There's a reason behind a lot of restaurants stating a "closing time" that is fairly early in the evening compared to other service businesses.
Retail stores post the closing time as a deadline warning for customers to abide by, although for the sake of good customer relations and positive word-of-mouth recommendations, a store manager could assist and not hurry the last shoppers, while staff begin closing procedures, leaving one sales register/POS unit open, which the manager would use for the last customer's purchase.

My slingshot broke, and now I have to wait probably more than a month for a replacement. As if that's not bad enough, a new magpie has just moved in.
Sigh, this is going to be a long and agonising month, I can just tell.

have you tried blowpipes as a stopgap? they're cheap to make, and with some wine bottle corks and a needle can ruin the day of anything.
My bro in law is an asshole, he's starting this whole no swearing bs towards me again, and reported the said post for Nudity, when there is no fucking nudity to be found. Fuck you, I'm not taking the post down because there is nothing FB can do to me for swearing.
Truth be told, either trapping or poisoning will need to be my stopgap. I'll try trapping to start off with. I hear a 1mx1mx1m cube made of chicken wire with a hole in the top (big enough for a bird to jump down but too small to fly back out) gets the job done, and sounds simple enough that even I could do it.Well, that was a massive failure. Turns out it's not so simple that even I can do it. At least not in this heat.

On the other hand, they tucked right into a bit of bread soaked in fly spray, so it should all be good once that kicks in. Hopefully tomorrow things will be nice and quiet from 5am onwards.

art, are you in the southern hemisphere? if not, yew berries are ripening, that combined with fat and syrup should make for a lethal deliciously irresistible poison. granted, you need access to a yew tree...
Isn't most native flora to your continent deadly to began with? Or is that just the fauna?The flora is if anything rather benign. Well, there is that one tree that causes enough pain to drive people and animals to suicide just from touching its leaves, but other than that the plant life isn't nearly as vicious as the animals.

I'm in Australia, so yeah, not really an option, unfortunately. Sounds like an awesome idea though, assuming dogs aren't interested in it.
Though if you have any recipes involving Australian flora, I'd be most intrigued.
So there's this game called Undertale. This game was funded on Kickstarter. A furry artist who does fat furry art (but also does more ordinary stuff and doesn't shove the niche fat art into people's faces) donated 500 bucks and got a character put into the game as a secret boss. Said character is just about as wholesome as the rest of the enemies in Undertale.It's funny (and by "funny" I mean "headache inducing") how many of those same people screeching about So Sorry have fetish art of Toriel somewhere on their hard drives.
Large chunk of the fanbase flips its shit, blames the furry artist for "corrupting" the game with "creepy fetish stuff", proceeds to harass the artist and slander them.
Maybe he's secretly wearing iron boots.
I remember when we did math on a piece of paper (or 20, depending on the size of the problems and how much work you had to 'show'.) Ah, those halcyon days of youth...
Dean, to the physics department. "Why do I always have to give you guys so much money, for laboratories and expensive equipment and stuff. Why couldn't you be like the math department - all they need is money for pencils, paper and waste-paper baskets. Or even better, like the philosophy department. All they need are pencils and paper."

Sheeeeeeeeit, I'd be halfway to Fucked Town if it weren't for my TI nSpire, since it does most of the calculus for me.

Huh. I don't usually think of calculus as something you let a computer do for you. I mean, obviously it's useful, and sometimes inevitable when you need numerical approaches, but I still do all my e.g. differentiation by hand. Builds intuition and whatnot.

I'm sure I can learn it properly, now that I have the basis down. I'll likely go back and do some reading on my own. From what I've heard, derivatives and definite integrals are the easiest part of calculus, and that seems to be the only parts this class covers, since its more business calculus than scientific.
And suddenly when math-talk is concerned, I lose the ability to understand words.
Math is nowhere as scary as writing. Essays and short stories used to give me nightmares.
Then again, my language skills still suck. It might not be as easy to notice when I write in English but I have at least as many spelling errors and other mistakes when I write in Finnish.

Oh man, a calculus discussion? :D Awesome!
So, what do you get when you integrate 1/cabin with respect to cabin? :3

Is this something that has happened recently? As an aside if you've paid for a golden shower it is very poor form to get upset when it happens.No, I was metaphorically referring to the Zamii incident. I hate when people say that the fact they were unfairly victimized makes their action OK.

They drew fanart that had 'erasure' (she drew Rose slightly less fat) and something about pedopholia, bottom line is don't equate victimization with good morality.Is this something that has happened recently?

The right side of my jaw's been six shades of fucked, none of them pleasant, for a good while now. Some days, its perfectly fine and functions normally, and others, I can barely open my mouth without it hurting like a sonofabitch. Best part of all this? My mom's insurance dropped me on my 26th birthday and I've been trying to get Medicaid for...almost a month and a half, now, so I can't even get it looked at so, for all I know, there's some kind of alien parasite living in my jawbone slowly infesting and controlling my brain.
MOTHERFUCKING 'MURICA!
My dad showed everyone a racist joke ("it's a picture of Ronald Reagan babysitting Obama!" *shows picture of Reagan feeding a baby chimpanze*) at the dinner table (with equally-racist company over) and when I said "Wow, that's racist" he incredulously demanded to know what was racist about it.
Yeah. This Christmas Creeping is really getting on my nerves. It is barely past Halloween!
Let us enjoy Thanksgiving before throwing us all into Christmas!
Also, I'm inwardly dreading every day that goes by that it might be the last that Starbucks offers its Pumpkin Scones.
Anybody else think Christmas advertising shouldn't start until Black Friday?

i wish it'd start on december 1st. in france, halloween is a really new holiday (used to be allsaint's day and the day of the dead that was honored, and wasn't a big deal outside of florists). on the plus side, we've got cheap candy, decorations, and costumes on sale in october. on the downside, it's also triggered christmas creep. we're on november 2nd, and stores and businesses are already starting to deck themselves out in "winter cheer". nevermind that snow is uncommon around here. so far, no merchandising to be seen outside of in-store decorations, though. might wait one or two weeks.
say, quick question for any americans living in the southwest. despite the desert, do businesses use fake snow in their storefronts? and is it ludicrous, egregious, or well done?
Seeing Christmas advertising in November makes me want to kill Christ in his cradle all over again. Jesus fuck.

I'm going to go a bit farther and say that Christmas advertising should wait until December. I know, I know, I'm a radical....didn't I just say that?
I say we make every day Christmas and fuck the consequences. EMBRACE THE MADNESS. IA.
No, shiteaters on the Internet, the concept of people loving people of their own gender is not inherently NSFW or family unfriendly or "mature".

"The natural log of the absolute value of cabin" doesn't sound like the right punchline.
Store shelves are already brimming with wreaths, festive lights and fake fir trees, but one Manitoba shop is banning all things Christmas until after Remembrance Day.
"We want to respect our veterans," Ginette Maynard, manager of Bigway Foods said.
As soon as Halloween is over, the grocery store in the village of St-Pierre-Jolys fast forwards to Christmas but this year, staff are keeping several shelves empty, except for signs that read "Lest We Forget."
My unexplained depression is getting worse. Also, even in the FB groups I'm in racists are coming out of the woodwork and when they aren't just making stupid racist comments they're spreading their racist conspiracy theories...Has anyone defended that "sterilize the blacks" guy yet? Or have they attacked him for only wanting sterilization?
"OMG people who commit suicide are so selfish! Don't they ever think about how it'll affectmetheir families? I know! I'll loudly proclaim how horrible and selfish suicidally depressed people are! Surely that'll force them to see how right I am and make them listen to reason! After all, everyone knows that deep depression = "just being sad"; that means I've been depressed without killing myself, so that makes me perfectly qualified to make these judgments! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to heckle some "beached whales" for their own benefit so they'll be forced to lose weight! I only do it out of genuine concern for their health, of course!"
Yeah, just got done watching a video about youtubers who've died, including those who committed suicide. I always found it odd how non-depressed or non-suicidal people insist on how selfish suicide is, while seemingly only giving a shit about everyone but the actual sufferer.
It more than annoys me to be honest, but I've never known how to deal with people telling me they want to die. I just freeze up, hoping I don't say some fucking embarrassing platitude or thing that'll make them feel guilty about their suicidal depression, and then I end up saying an embarrassing platitude anyway. I'm only writing this so that I'll feel better about griping about my own problems in this thread.
Things that annoy me: when raging assholes like the same things I do, or have good taste in art, music etc.
Fuck, I don't even know. If I never have to deal with with suicidal talk alone in person, it'll be too soon.
That sounds incredibly jackass-ish. I'm sorry.
So I picked up a steam wallet card to buy Fallout 4 and turns out I am nine goddamn cents short of buying the game.Do you have any trading cards or gem bags on hand? Selling those is a good way to get a minuscule amount of money relatively quickly.

have you tried simply accepting it? like "oh, ok. right. uh, wanna talk about it or play a hand of cards or something?" and move on, unless the person actually wants a friendly ear without fear of judgement. from experience, there are two kinds of suicidal talks. one is venting (i believe is called suicidal ideation, but check it) and is closer to depression and helplessness, but not "true" admittance of being suicidal. the other kind is the real thing, and tends to be discreet, and days or weeks before the act. that's the one you've got to watch out for, and mental health professionals are trained to root that one out.
i've talked to my friends about it, and even though they disagree with me on the subject, they accept it gives me comfort to ultimately decide my fate, reducing the helplessness of mental illness, if you will. it felt good talking about it, even if the event is decades away.
David Foster Wallace
“The so-called ‘psychotically depressed’ person who tries to kill herself doesn’t do so out of quote ‘hopelessness’ or any abstract conviction that life’s assets and debits do not square. And surely not because death seems suddenly appealing. The person in whom Its invisible agony reaches a certain unendurable level will kill herself the same way a trapped person will eventually jump from the window of a burning high-rise. Make no mistake about people who leap from burning windows. Their terror of falling from a great height is still just as great as it would be for you or me standing speculatively at the same window just checking out the view; i.e. the fear of falling remains a constant. The variable here is the other terror, the fire’s flames: when the flames get close enough, falling to death becomes the slightly less terrible of two terrors. It’s not desiring the fall; it’s terror of the flames. And yet nobody down on the sidewalk, looking up and yelling ‘Don’t!’ and ‘Hang on!’, can understand the jump. Not really. You’d have to have personally been trapped and felt flames to really understand a terror way beyond falling.”
You shouldn't be embarrassed about it. We knew you put flyers out but what are people signing up for? Great opp for you to get more people there if you explained yourself. By not explaining, you seem embarrassed about what you're doing. Sad.
It should be mentioned that the SPLC did not label MRAs as members of a hate movement; nor did our article claim that the grievances they air on their websites – false rape accusations, ruinous divorce settlements and the like – are all without merit. But we did call out specific examples of misogyny and the threat, overt or implicit, of violence.
Between that and boiling oil dreams, you are having one gawd awful week, Svata. Yikes! Maybe dip that lil fucker in boiling oil? It coulda been a divine suggestion...

Well, yes, you obviously eat what you deep fry.
I should've put a limit as to how many people could attend my political event, given I'm afraid I won't have enough flyers(even though I stated that they could bring they're own flyers to the event) because I ran out of ink for the flyers, and I didn't expect what seems like everyone and their mother to sign up for the event(I seriously expected like at the most, 3-7 sign ups, got about 30 instead).
I hate the minion fad. I hate Despicable Me, yes I saw it, no it was not of my own free will. It was Thanksgiving at my girlfriend's sister's place, and her kids somehow love that crap. They're literally featureless, yellow pill-things. They barely communicate. They have no redeeming qualities whatsoever, and I can't wait for them to stop showing up on my god damned Facebook feed...and everywhere god damned else, too.
I just placed and order with an online store that sells knifes, swords, military surplus and such, and I kinda fucked up the order. They had a bunch of gas masks like half off and I decided to get some with the money I had left on the prepaid card I got the other day to use to order computer parts. Well, I thought maybe I'd get multiples of a couple of them and give them away as Christmas gifts to my little brother and friend, both of whom really like the mask I have now. I ended up deciding not to order the multiples, at least not right now. Problem is I forgot to change the number of items in the cart. Now I have almost $100 in gas masks set to be shipped tomorrow(Along with a water bottle, a old Czech helmet, and a knockoff Mora knife that was literally $1).
Unfortunately I can't cancel the order online. I'm gonna try calling tomorrow to see if I can either cancel or change the order. If not, or if they want to charge a ridiculous fee for doing so, then fuck it I'll just go with it and do as I originally thought and give them away at Christmas. Should go well since one is identical to a mask that appears in Fallout 4, which both my friend and little brother love.
To be fair, thats because Megamind was a fucking masterpiece.
Ok. On the minions a second. I've seen the first one more times than I can count, little kids and all. First of all, it's a little kids movie. I hope nobody was expecting Shakespeare or Laurence of Arabia. Most (but not all) kids movies are crap. So comparing apples to apples, DM wasn't near as bad as it could have been. Certainly better than Elmo. Honestly, I was more worried about Russell Brand in a kids movie than I was annoyed about the minions. At first.
My kids figured out the lesson pretty quick. Gru was a weirdo. He talked with an accent, looked odd, his house didn't really fit in with the rest of the neighborhood. But under all that, he wasn't really a bad guy. When the kids took the time to get to know him, they realized that. So my kids took away that it was a movie celebrating inclusion and going beyond skin deep. There are worse lessons from movies for young'uns.

are they functional masks or not? the surplus i worked in last year sold them but they were decomissioned, so couldn't be used. i'd be very curious to see them. naturally, you can always sell them to airsoft and cosplay enthusiasts, depending on how many you got.
People flipping their shitover GM foods.
My issue with gene mod is patenting it. Best worst-case example being Monsanto's Round-up Ready crop seed stranglehold on farmers around the world.Yeah, Monsanto is fucking out of its gourd, but genetically modified foods have saved millions of lives and fuck the brainless savages that scaremonger them.

Someone spoiled Fallout 4 for me.
I have tried to keep away from Fallout related topics on purpose and then some dick goes and drops off a random spoiler in a completely unrelated thread (not here.)
Seriously, it had nothing to do with anything there it was just a random trap and opened the wrong thing assuming that it had something to do with OP and then BOOM!
Goddamn.
That's irritating as fuck. I've had that happen with games where I was proud of myself for navigating online while avoiding spoilers, then bam - some unrelated post or article spoils the main plot and I'm left angry and with nothing to do.The worst part is that it really was done on purpose. Someone made a clickbait but rather than doing a rickroll or even goatse they gave a massive spoiler to Fallout 4 and since it was just one sentence I read it before I realized what it was...
This is more... more of an intense feeling than just annoying, but:
The fact that Piers Anthony is an accoladed writer when his works feature shit like this (http://hradzka.livejournal.com/392471.html?page=), as far as I know completely unironically. (warning:big honking pedophilia with a side of rape apologism)
I DL-ed Windows 10 yesterday. It lists my printer with a "there's an app available" button. I check the app link. It doesn't support my particular sub-model. I go back to try and print. W10 won't send to my printer, even though it's listed in devices, and continues to send to various MS vaporware "printing" apps, like send to One Note or MS Print to PDF. I go to the printer manufacturer's website and DL the latest drivers (it detects I have W10). I re-set-up everything. W10 says the printer is not connected. While it is physically connected via USB. I go down the W10 list of available devices and remove anything that is not my printer, and for the third time, set my printer as default - the set as default button does nothing. I re-do everything again. I go to device settings, properties, security, etc. and verify that the printer is in fact acknowledged and functioning and connected and has latest drivers according to my laptop. I hard re-boot my laptop and printer. Nada. My question is, did I make a fatal error in using Express Settings when I first installed W10? Do I need to tell Cortana to stop mindlessly whoring an unusable app and while cock blocking my printer?
Suddenly, I'm very glad I never downloaded Windows 10. Not only are they pushing microtransactions in the most obnoxious way possible, they're apparently doing it via a Clippy reskin. Yeah, I think I'll stick with Windows 8 for the foreeable future. Honestly, once you get the start menu back and tell Metro to fuck off, it's pretty much the same as 7.
Don't they also have all sorts of spyware in there?Windows 8 or 10?
And I can't be arsed to figure out how to get the Start menu back or get rid of Metro in Windows 8 (unless those are just automatic with 8.1?), so I just stick with 7.You have to use a mod. I went with StartIsBack, and it does a fantastic job of it.

I've heard 10 does. I didn't really pay any attention to 8 other than how they fucked with the interface.Well then, I'm definitely sticking with 8.
Ah. Still can't be arsed, 7 works fine for me.Naturally. Hell, the only reason I use 8 now is because it came with my laptop. If I had any say in the matter, I'd have stuck with 7 as well.
People taking the "Down with Cis" meme seriously.
Ds it's a danm meme, do you freak out whenever someone posts the navy seal copypasta because they're threatening to murder someone?
Having a migraine that's just on this side of annoying while working on a rather noisy ramp.I thought you said romp for a second.
New pet peeve: when people have characters with accents in works of fiction and have the accent persist when the character writes (a) or has internal monologue (b).
That's all well and good for the real world, but in fiction it still bugs me.

My asshole sister decided to stay out past curfew, so my mom took all the keys in the house with her to work, including mine. I was almost late to my job interview because I had to convince someone to give me a ride.

that defies logic. what was the point? one steps out of line, the rest get punished as well?
What is this, a military base?They're making sure she can't leave without permission, and they're worried she might take my car and (gasp!) go to a friend's house and watch a movie instead of sitting at home being bitchy and miserable.

And they knew you had an interview, that they themselves had demanded, and that you had to go to (like, say, in your car). So why not just say "Hey, Ghoti, don't let her use your car"? The fuck?They were worried that she would take my keys off the key rack and take off without anyone's knowledge, ignoring that 1) I only put my keys on my keyrack if I expect to go somewhere within the next 24 hours, and 2) if she took my car without asking I'd be the one getting in trouble after beating her ass. Seriously, I have a rule about that and she knows it: no one drives my car unless I'm in the passenger seat.
I posted about it there.
Also, to Guizonde, hybristophilia has a very, very large base in Tumblr. Mostly previously they stayed with killers, but now I guess that's too old hat to them and they moved on to Nazis.
Hybristophiles are more pathetic than Nazis. They're Nazi groupies.That Heinrich fella is soo dreamy!
Remember, it doesn't matter what happened to you, if you're a black person who had something bad happen to you Reddit will find some reason why it was your fault.
The tear duct on my left eye is infected. It might not be as bad as pink eye, but I really wish there were OTC medicated eye drops I could get to kill this shit fast, its getting old.
Noooot running the risk of getting shit in my eye, or stabbing myself in the eye. Thankfully, its reducing on its own, so I'll be alright.
If there's one hardcore part of my body, its my immune system. There's one advantage to living in utterly filthy environments, you develop a godly immune system. Best part is, its smart enough to not go full dumbass over stupid shit like peanuts or pollen. NO. KNOWN. ALLERGIES. Bitches.
The only things I'm seriously allergic to are penicillin and sulfa, which isn't something that comes up often. I used to be a little bit allergic to cats but I don't react anymore unless I shove my face in a cat's belly, and when I do that I have more pressing concerns (like convincing them that it's in their best interest to remove their claws from my face).
I bashed my toe against a concrete step about 8 hours ago and it still hurts like a goddamn cunt. I strongly suspect that it's broken. The next week or so is going to be a fucking riot.I'm assuming you've tried copious amounts of alcohol?

My friend took his dog Albert to the park, and one of the people there had an aggressive husky who attacked Albert. Of course, Albert fought back, so another guy stepped in and attempted to stop them by putting Albert in a headlock. That's basically the worst thing he could've done, because Albert became terrified and began biting at everything in sight trying to break free. My friend, who ran over to help, was bitten in the process, and now the massive wound won't stop bleeding. Plus he's afraid people will report his dog. All kinds of good things here.

I remember reading a post from a dog trainer on tumblr that basically said shit like this is why dog parks are terrible places that you shouldn't take your dog to. You have a bunch of strange dogs with varying personalities gathered in one place with owners that either a) think their dog is well behaved when it's not, b) think their dog is "just playing" when it's not, c) think aggressive behavior is "cute" when it's not (especially with small breeds), d) think dogs need no supervision when running around, or e) all of the above.
Are there any witnesses that could verify that it was the husky that attacked first?
Its been two days since I ordered something off Amazon, and it has yet to actually ship. They say they've got my order, but its not moving past that point. SHIP, YOU FUCK!

You think that's bad? My mom ordered a book that was required reading for one of my sister's classes on December 7th. Not only has it not arrived yet, but the assignment that required the book to be read has since passed. When I was in high school, all required reading books were provided by the damn school, unless it was summer reading. And no, the book wasn't available in any library, school or local.
Really? Because piracy was how I got all of my uni textbooks. They'd often take a while to download thanks to half-dead torrents, but you'd get them eventually.
Really? Because piracy was how I got all of my uni textbooks. They'd often take a while to download thanks to half-dead torrents, but you'd get them eventually.
my teachers actively promoted piracy on two conditions: the sources were reliable, and it cost other universities money.
... that was it. "here are some torrents and files that you could find useful. now, they are trustworthy, since they were published by our academic colleagues from paris-sorbonne and bordeaux, but hey. at least this way it won't bloat their egos. remember to buy things at the in-house bookshop, it's dirt-cheap and it helps the university develop its printing antenna".
also, i pity you americans. required reading at my school (if not given digitally by the teacher) cost me the whole sum of... 23€ for one book? something like that. the in-house bookshop aimed to only break even, and in turn published all the alumni that got a degree in the school.
did i mention my uni was rated number one in france for welfare programs? despite that, the student unions managed to make it rated number one for student strikes... proof that you can't satisfy the perpetually dissatisfied french.
I've only found one, so far. They release new editions, which move things enough to make the old ones relatively useless for normal usage, yearly. I've always envisioned a piracy service for college textbooks, but I'd...rather not open that can of worms, myself. I do NOT want to be extradited to Texas.

It's a shame that such a service doesn't already exist.

Bashed my toes against a door frame again. Fucking hell, that's painful. I've been screaming profanities at the top of my lungs for the past couple of minutes (which, admittedly, has made me feel somewhat better).

I read a study somewhere a long, long while back, that shouting profanities after an injury actually does reduce its pain.
All this goddamned astrology bullshit being posted around on fucking facebook. For fucks sake, people. Oh, and one former friendof mine getting pissed at me for calling her out for robbing people with her job as a hotline psychic. Just pisses me right the fuck off.

I don't usually mind trigger warnings -Then again, I rarely go to places where those are used a lot so it might be partially do to that that I don't see them as much of an annoyance and still think that the original idea behind them was good- but came across a peculiar one in an article. There was a warning that the article mentions the name of a dead aboriginal. I thought that this was an odd warning but I suppose such things might be painful/scary to some people. ...Then the article starts with two murders and a suicide. But everyone involved was white so apparently that was ...ok?
The article did make few good points about how white men get a better treatment in the news whether they are a victim of murder or the murderer. They also mentioned Trayvon Martin and Garner(?) who were killed in USA and how they were treated as deserving of their deaths and perceived as "thugs" but the writer hadn't made a warning about them either so apparently the most controversial part about the article was the name of an aboriginal. Which, considering how the article had been about the fair treatment of people the writer thinks that deaths of certain people are worse than the deaths of others.
Guess who spent $130 on the wrong maths text book, this girl fml.
The phrase "I'm not religious, but I am spiritual." What the flying blue fuck does that even mean
What is it with ideological positions and snazzy hats? Then again at least my ideological positions aren't commonly spouted by people in gimp masks.
I always took it to mean they were a Deist. Either that or they believed in ghosts.

People who complain about "anti-German racism" whenever someone says the Nazis were bad. They're almost always American (and occasionally Canadian) neo-Nazis/Holocaust deniers who've never set foot in Germany and have like, one German grandparent or something.
It's even more annoying when they whine about how they aren't allowed to celebrate their German heritage. There are a ton of German-American societies/cultural events, you fucking morons. There's even a National German-American Day. If you want to celebrate your German heritage, go to Oktoberfest or a Von Steuben Day parade like a normal person instead of obsessing over the worst part of German history.
Such a shame, since so much of the very best in music, literature, and innovation has come from the German people over the centuries.

What really irks me is people trying to claim that the Nazis had an unambiguously positive impact on science and culture.
And Nazi war engineering had a consistent theme of Too Big and Too Late.
Actually German infantry weapons were the best in the business. The allies had a tremendous fear of the mg42 and tiger tanks, and even paratroopers from the 101 AB swapped their Thompsons for MP40s whenever they could Most of the allied success came from air interdiction efforts and artillery. The beat examples of these were during the battle for Normandy, where typhoon attacks shredded tank columns in the Falais Pocket and arty leveling towns such as Carentan and Caen. The battle of the bulge also highlights the p47s which completely annihilated German supply lines after the weather cleared.
Hitler was the biggest armchair general anyway and had no business running a war. He constantly ignored his smarter generals such as Kluge, and because of ordering his crappy counterattacks, such as OP Luttich, he completely shredded his panzer divisions, with the majority actually being shredded by allied aircraft.

I was trying to find a random Let's play that is worth watching on Youtube and stumbled upon Homefront. ...North Korea taking over USA? Seriously?
...I know WHY they made this choice, the Chinese buy video games and making them the villains might have hurt the profits (I know for a fact that if someone in North Korea bought this or any other Western video game his last name was Kim.) but it is still incredibly stupid and they would have been better off using a fictional country as the invader.
Holocaust deniers -Ahem, I mean "Holocaust SKEPTICS," are annoying. Someone linked a clickbait about new evidence supporting the holocaust (not that the article wasn't true or about interesting discovery, it was just written like a clickbait) to a Finnish military history group and immediately two of them crawled out with their conspiracy theories.
...And they were the particularly annoying type that claim that you are wrong and your citations faulty but refuse to provide their own or otherwise justify their positions. Much like certain folks here.
The true deniers always say it's just the natural, inevitable ice age cycle doing it's thing, and that the advent of a global industrial age is just a coinky-dink, not an accelerator.
Needing to scratch near your eyes after chopping jalapenos. Even washing my hands, there's enough juice to make my eyes burn. Its a real bitch.
All the Super Bowl bullshit on Amazon. Look, assclown, my search history contains things like lockpicks, British tea, battle-ready swords, and games like Fallout 4 and Just Cause. What the fuck makes you think I give even a single shit about the Super Ball, let alone want to buy shit to...ech, entertain during it? At least YouTube, utter shit that it may be, allows me to remove such asinine recommendations. Fully three quarters of my Amazon home page is taken up with Super Bowel garbage.
Are you using the word "bloody" just for emphasis or is it an actual defining feature of the re-education?
I know?
I know?
What I hate are people who end every statement with an upswing in their pitch, like they're questioning everything they say? And its just so annoying to listen to? And it seems disturbingly common in California here?
People who end affirmative statements with question marks.
It gets me every time.
I always thought the question mark after a statement meant wavering support. Or a declaration lacking confidence. Or something akin to "I think so". Like if someone is looking at worried or intently then ask if you're feeling ok, you might answer "Yes?"
You're in Flint?
So who want's to hear the tale of how I lost my password and had to go through sixteen loops to recover it with the help of The_L, Sig and KZN02?
Seriously, outside of professionals, I have never even seen any manner of fight that lasted "minutes". Two. three at the very most, and that's start to finish, unarmed. I doubt any knife fight has lasted that long.
It's actually easier and much more effective to take two quarters to the back and trade then in on a penny roll.
I get it now. You can either use it in your fist to make the punches harder or put it in a footy sock and flog somebody with it.
Edit: although my preferred method of self defence would be to pull open the roll scattering pennies everywhere and to run away while they were picking them up
Davedan, when I am talking about knifefights I am talking about hypotethical scenarios knowing full well that the only times when I would carry a knife for self defense would be during a war, zombie revolution or something similar (and it would mainly be a tool with the "stab a motherfucker" as a last resort when all other weapons cannot be used.)
It's the year 2016 and there are men who still think "master key/shitty lock" is a clever and accurate metaphor.

I haven't heard it for years. More or less it is why are men who sleep with lots of women applauded and women who sleep with lots of men derided. Well imagine if you had a key that opened many locks, you'd think it was a great key. Whereas if you had a lock that was opened by many keys you would think it was a shitty lock.

Ooooo. I got an image of a cricket bat swung edgewise at some poor sucker's head or neck or limb. Cracker bat!
Who are they and is it known why they got taken down?
Don't abridgers get their channels taken down, like, every other month?
It's bullshit, yeah, but it's not new bullshit. That's why they put their videos on their website.

Also, it was probably Toei. They're pretty copyright-claim-happy

Why is it possible for a book to be out of print in this day and age? I've been periodically searching for a particular book for like eight or nine years now (and I only just realized it's been that long!) and it's been consistently sold out or unavailable. No Kindle edition, either. I only just now found a (used) copy on Amazon for a reasonable price.
Why is it possible for a book to be out of print in this day and age?
Yeah, that book and several other hard to find ones have been on my to do list a while. I'm hoping digital editions will pop up on kindle and my local library system, too. At least Askold can snag a copy. It's a pretty good read.Out of curiousity, I did a quick eBay search, and it seems to be available (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/THE-DIFFERENCE-ENGINE-BRUCE-STERLING-WILLIAM-GIBSON-PAPERBACK-NEW-/390723023295?hash=item5af8e831bf:g:s5oAAOxy4dNSqKAX).

On a much lighter note that has nothing to do with this, is there a media player besides Windows Media that just plays the song I select from my folder and doesn't add it to a stupid playlist?

Woah, that is definitely not normal. I showed this to my mom - she's a nurse - and she says this is far from normal and it may be a clue that worse damage was done than is immediately visible from the onset incident.

I'm annoyed by a bunch of people I know who didn't vote. They check to see if they're registered the night before, say "whoops, I forgot", then throw their vote out the window. Great job.

No problem. When in doubt, always check eBay.
Also, if you'd rather not wait for postage, it would seem that an, ahem, unofficial e-book exists. It's not Kindle compatible, but there are plenty of free .epub to .mobi converters floating about. Just thought I'd mention it is all. Do with that information what you will.

pinkwashing (uncountable)
1.The practice of a company using support of breast cancer-related charities to promote itself and its products or services. [quotations ▼]
2.(LGBT) The practice of presenting something, particularly a state, as gay-friendly in order to soften or downplay aspects of its reputation considered negative. [quotations ▼]
3.The practice of making a toy pink to signal that the manufacturer expects girls to play with it. [quotations ▼]
"Feminists, why aren't you crying out against male domestic abuse?"* is the equivalent of "I know you're a fishing website, but what white wine would you choose to go with this Wagyu beef?" or "Why don't Native American activists ever talk about antiziganism?" Sure, male domestic abuse is an issue, but going up to a group whose mission statement is not to fight the problem you're upset about and whining that they don't fight the problem they don't fight because they're too busy fighting the problem they actually fight... is just fucking asinine when you could just be fighting the problem yourself.
* which is a nonsense question anyway since, outside fringe radfems, I've seen feminists treat male domestic abuse with nothing but contempt
I just realized that I'm absolutely fucking useless.
Literally everybody I know who shares an interest with me is better at that thing than me. I work as a dishwasher, and am the guy who management always asks to stay late cause they know I'll accept, cause I need every cent I can get. I'm slowly losing my will to even do my coursework because fucked if I know why, even though being in college is the only reason I'm not fucking homeless. I have no friends locally, despite having been here for aboutb9 months... There's more, but you get the gist.
One more. My only close friend in the world an I hardly ever talk anymore, and soon we won't talk at all, 'cause the guy she's marrying doesn't want her to talk to me cause we used to be in a relationship.

Quite a few countries don't bother with it anymore and haven't for some time, others have never bothered with it, and they all seem to do just fine.

It's likely a Notch problem. Java is merely a powerful enough language to allow such mistakes.

In other news, my daughter went to the potty and had a major poop. This is not the annoying bit. Her poop having little wriggly worms is the annoying bit.

Okay. It's called not changing your time zone every six months. Very natural, very simple. Doesn't require me to suddenly get up at what my body thinks is 5:30 in the morning to go to work at what my body thinks is 6 in the morning.
I actually like daylight savings. Having all that daylight well into the evening is kind of cool, if you ask me.

Time zones themselves are not very intuitive; we keep them around because it's what we've been using for the past 150-ish years. If we wanted the "most natural" reckoning we have the technology to convert longitude to apparent solar time (where the sun is highest in the sky at 12:00 p.m.) or sidereal time, but then you're abandoning the 24-hour day; worse, in the case of apparent solar time, each day doesn't have the same length. If you really want a 24-hour day with independently-defined seconds, you still have to correct for Earth's irregular rotation and add leap seconds if you want it to seem like a solar day.
I accept the mild DST kludge on top of the multiple kludges we already have in time measurement.

That's code for ya. Fix one thing, and a dozen new, broken edge cases crop up.
Apps are a pain to test because there are so many different environments to account for. Different OS's, different versions within those, etc. Granted that doesn't excuse it, and I dunno what the app is, but they may have not encountered that issue in their local testing.

Fair point. The app is Outlook on Android btw. Que the Microsoft jokes from everyone. Go ahead I ain't gonna defend them.
I would like to bring up though app breaking updates in the form of the app no longer functioning at all that seem to affect literally everyone (as happened recetly-ish with the Beeb's weather app, it genuinely seemed to affect literally everyone and it lasted for ages through several updates). How does that not get discovered in testing when it seems to be an issue in every situation with all conceivable variables?
I don't want to start another cisphobia shitstorm but...
You can't complain about how people are to sensitive and need to learn to take a joke then turn around and bitch about "down with cis".

I would like to point out that only the person who gets hurt can say if something hurts them or not. If you admit that some jokes go too far then you should also admit that you can't claim that your joke was ok and that the people who say they feel hurt should just "toughen up" or something.I dont think otherwise. I just think the type of person I described is s hypocrite.I don't want to start another cisphobia shitstorm but...

I know they are. I'm in my mid 30s and the kids is 18. Kobain's death means as much to him as Presley's did to me. But to think of the music from my high school days as old. Not even classic rock, but old.
Honestly, I chuckled and told him to get off my lawn.
Is it strep? I know strep basically turns me into a mute.Not that I know of I would hate to have gotten strep from some random person at my college.
I'm pretty sure none of them hold a candle to TJ Kirk.
So this is something I've noticed, why are almost all the big and prominent YouTube Atheist like Armoured Skeptic, Mrrepzion and a few others such glaring anti-feminist. Like what the hell it's hard enough finding a good one with some kind of production value but half of them are such glaring assholes.
Reducing suicide baiting, death/rape threats and verbal harassment into just "mean words" to make the complainant seem unreasonable for reporting the perpetrator. Fuck that noise.

And I don't think feminism focusing solely on woman's issues is a bad thing. They should have the right to focus on what they want to focus on. But so should other people outside of feminism, and when feminists try to monopolize everything, they are interfering with that right.
Most commonly the "Stop changing the subject" thingy comes up when talking about domestic violence. Which is a problem because men have much less chance of getting into any kind of shelter to escape from a violent relationship and emotional violence that men face is swept under the rug all too commonly.

Last I checked, I'm not being arrested for talking about issues that men face outside of feminism. I can talk about it as much as I want; there are venues out there that eat it all up, seemingly.
You have to stretch mighty far to imply this is a freedom of speech or lack-of-platform issue. Disingenuously far, actually.
...There's something that annoys me and it showed up again."Toxic masculinity" is like one of the biggest topics in all the feminist spaces I've been to.
If I say "I'm a men's rights activist and I think men are suffering from discrimination in-" FUCK YOU! MRA'S JUST HATE WOMEN AND ARE NOT INTERESTED IN EQUALITY!
Ok, then. That movement is clearly associated too much by assholes who really do complain about women and fight against feminism rather than trying to bring light to inequalities facing men. Fair enough, let's try it again...
If I say "I'm an Eqalitarian and I think men are suffering from discrimination in-" FUCK YOU! EQALITARIAN'S ARE JUST A REBRANDING OF MRA'S! THE PEOPLE WHO REALLY CARE ABOUT EQUALITY ARE FEMINISTS!
Well, to be honest some of the people who call themselves egalitarians really are just MRA's trying to pick a less hated name for their agenda. Let's try again...
If I say "I am a feminist and I think men are suffering from discrimination in-" STOP TRYING TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT! WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE TROUBLES THAT WOMEN FACE AND YOUR MANSPLAINING AND "WHATABAUTISM" IS NOT HELPING!
...
...
...
...I mean, I am obviously aware that men in general are among the least discriminated groups but talking about our (few) problems really doesn't seem easy. I for one would like to use the egalitarian term but since it's being dragged to mud as well that doesn't seem to be working either.
And saying that "It's all patriarchy's fault" also seems to be a way to shut down the conversation and drag it back to being about how women suffer.
Also, try calling yourself an "egalitarian feminist".
To be fair, I would love to be able to grow a massive beard. Alas, I'd end up looking more like a crazy hillbilly and less like Guan Yu.

I love the hell outta some waxed mustaches. It's such a fun look, and also artistic and creative, and the wax keeps the mustache out of the way when you dine. Nothing more gentlemanly or suave than that.

Measured from the chin, my beard is about 18 inches long when pulled straight to full length (it sits a bit shorter due to being naturally a bit wavey). Just sayin' is all :P

Gonna take a guess and say it's probably this one:(click to show/hide)
People who copy and paste the exact same argument to every person they respond to, even in response to comments debunking that very argument.
Do they first say "Bullshit" or "not related to OH PEE" to denounce the claim before copy pasting the argument? And then quote their own comment in the next comment again and add a smiley with sunglasses? ...And then add another comment with just the smiley? Because there's a dude who has a huge sig and he keeps doing that all the time.
You'd actually ban people for having shitty opinions?Did I mention how fucking huge their sig is and how much of the thread they fill just by posting twice or three times in a row when each of the actual "messages" is just a smileyface or a single sentence quote, both of which will be repeated again and again? Also, his "opinions" are mainly starting a thread with the title "Cuntclinton [something something] niggers ...prove me wrong women" and the entire body of the OP is " 8) " and 5 minutes later he has posted "I guess everyone agrees with me then." which will be followed by a post that is a quote of the previous one and a third post which is " 8) " (The fact that a lot of people have him on ignore either does not register in his mind or he is just preaching to the people who don't have him on ignore.)
When an make some detailed response to someone and they don't reply. I spent all that time being polite and making a response to your views, could you bother trying to produce a rebuttal?
When something shitty takes a good name (Mother Jones magazine, Insane Clown Posy, ect.)Don't forget about Lunatic Mime Germanium or Crazy Acrobat Daffodil. Those dickheads are the worst.

The point of protest is to be attention grabbing. Some do it by being disruptive. Nobody can doubt how effective and fun it is. But you don't have to be disruptive to protest something.Exactly. You want attention and you want it to be positive. Riots and other disruptive behavior should be reserved for occasions when playing by the rules won't help.
As our cell has grown and our ideas have developed, we have dispensed with the acronyms that accompanied our last claim, as we feel it is no longer necessary for us to use such labels to ‘define’ ourselves or ‘categorize’ our actions. As we continue on our own warpaths against techno-industrial progress and alienation, we will vindicate our actions with our own ideas.
With this attack, we salute the fierce individualities of “nihilistic sect Memento Mori” and “cell of anarchist and nihilist conscience – Falcon of Chaos”. We also send our greetings and respect to imprisoned eco-terrorists, Marco Camenisch, Nicola Gai and Alfredo Cospito, who despite the situations they temporarily face, have always stayed hostile towards the society that imprisons them.
Oh christ, they're "Anarcho-Primitivists", basically people who think all technology is bad (I mean like "wheels and agriculture" technology) and we should go back to the Stone Age because they think life was better back then.

People who compare everything to 1984.
It's especially bad when they do it with the social left. Yeah, because the world of 1984 is just so left-wing. Look at all those individual rights.
And fuck the term "regressive left" while we're at it. You're not being regressed by people saying that maybe the LOTR movies have anti-black undertones. No one's being put in an SJW mindslaver. Freedom of speech works both ways you motherfucker.
You're doing that thing again where you conflate a subset of a movement (a subset that's controversial within the movement, to boot) with the entire movement. That's also an annoying thing.
And I reiterate: no one's being put in an SJW mindslaver. No one's being regressed by people saying that maybe the LOTR movies have anti-black undertones. I was talking about how people claim that discourse online is somehow censoring people, which is pretty much the only context I've seen "regressive left" used in. This is an entirely different can of worms.
Are the things described in the article worrisome? Sure, a lot of that is fucked up if true. But I don't really see the problem with wanting news to come from ideologically neutral* sources. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't take it seriously if someone was saying unsourcedly on the "SJW" side of Tumblr that white people invented cancer to kill off the Romani. You wouldn't pass that off as "news". Same with conservative news; doing some double-checking on whether or not the thing has been reported outside of the conservasphere is just common sense.
*for a given value of neutral
And like I said: I'm not saying it was intentional. But here's the thing; fiction can have unfortunate implications even when those implications aren't intentional. Stephenie Meyer intended for imprinting to be seen as platonic and beautiful; in practice, it came across as creepy jail bait wait. Death of the Author is a thing, and if I made a movie where the only people who look Asian are literal goddamn dog-men, it'd still be skeevy even if I legit thought it wasn't.

Tolkien's probably not for you, then. The books -- arguably the world-building itself -- were a vehicle for the languages he made. You can't show your work on artificial language without a whole lot of songs.

Still not as bad as in Star Trek: Insurrection.
I thought the final battle in Nemesis was hella Anti-climatic, I mean the [spoilers] ship to ship combat was fairly cool but just killing the bad guy by impaling him on a swing-out spike is stupid. And all data needed to do was bring two of the transportation thingies (because I'm pretty sure they'd have more of them) so he could set his phaser to overload, drop it near the core, and beam out.'Sides, there's the whole anti-technology bent of LotR that's a lot more obvious than any implied racism and/or support of segregation.

To be fair, few things are as bad as Insurrection. The only things I can think of that are as terrible are ST: Nemesis and Avatar. Sorry, but killing Data blew and magical, blue space Indians somehow managing to force a military capable of interstellar travel off their planet is just plain laughable. In the case of Avatar, the unseen ending is that the Earth sends the rest of its military to bombard Pandora from orbit, running a scorched earth campaign just to get at the unobtanium and using the death of a general by the traitor Jake Sully as a rallying cry to obliterate all life on Pandora.
The trick is to know that there are more than two sides. In fact, even in USA which has de-facto two-party system there are usually more than two sides to an issue.True that. Maybe would've been smarter to not specify two sides, eh?
And there's a chance that you don't find a party (or a politician) that agrees with you on every damn issue even if there are multiple parties.I know that. I'm not lamenting there being no politicians or parties that 100% agree with me on every last thing. I'm saying that for any given stance on any given issue, there always seems to be at least one, if not a hell of a lot more, commonly spouted talking points that are complete bullshit (whether or not I agree with the "side" in question isn't really relevant).
So if you go with "those who do not on my side must be against me" you will have a hard time finding anyone who is 100% agreeing with you but have no problems in finding new enemies.
Does anyone actually want fully, 100% open borders? I don't mean they'd want that in an ideal world where that was workable, I mean does anyone actual think that's a realistic, practical thing that would work in the real world as it current is? I've never really encountered anyone arguing for that, but then I've not been in the sorts of places where one would.

After carefully reading the report it does not contain the things that he claims it does, it is actually a pretty good report on the subject with rather good guidelines how to fight harassment on the net (although mainly focused on helping women and girls many of the suggestions are good for the entire society) and now UP claims that because the report has couple occasions of the organization citing itself (which is bad because... I have no idea) and few dead links it is still wrong-bad.Have you ever been so angry that you would read 70+ pages of UN reports?

Is this in reference to pedophilia or something else? Cause I've only ever heard this argument about pedophilia.
This reminds me of a Cracked article where someone was talking about how they have constant undesired thoughts of murder. Someone in the comments asked "then what would be the difference between this and a pedophile"? And someone else said "they're the same". I remember being annoyed by that sort of reductionist statement.
So, thing that annoys me: people thinking there's no difference between having unwanted thoughts of something and wanting to do that something.
But some wants are also, um, unwanted.

Yeah, that kind of childishness really gets on my nerves, too. I once tried to calm down a dickhead satanist who had lost his patience with my friend who has a brain injury. He ranted and shouted at my friend about how he can't understand how anyone can be that stupid while my friend was confusedly trying to tell him he hasn't done anything bad. I physically held the guy away from my friend while trying to tell him to calm down and also reminded him that my friend had done nothing to him.
His answer to me? "I'm no fucking Christian!"
That's one of the very few instances where I have had serious difficulty restraining myself from punching someone. Luckily he calmed down enough to walk away before the situation escalated any further.

By the way, do you know what "regressive left" actually means?
No.
Could you enlighten us?
It refers to left-wingers who fail to challenge backwards ideologies for the sake of political correctness and cultural relativism. Considering how much the term has been misused, I don't blame you for not knowing what it means.

Huh, apparently it does. Apologies, it's just that I've only ever seen it applied in reference to expressions like "institutionalized transphobia might be bad" or "safe spaces might be good".
FUCK. UNIVERSITY.
This week, I have at least one large project due, two large assignments, a fucking writing assignment, and I need to study for my calculus final. WHY THE GOD DAMNED FUCK IS ALL THIS SHIT CRAMMED INTO ONE WEEK?!

Eh, I've been through more school than you with more extreme time crunches; take solace in the fact that all the hard work will only make your next night of intoxication that much better.
Nope, Queenie is a law graduate. I'm comp-sci. I love the code, but I am none too fond of the classwork. Thankfully, I have a kitten livestream to take the edge off; I have a personal rule against drinking on anything other than Friday nights and weekends.
It wouldn't be so bad if that big-ass project (for my OO-coding class) weren't a big fucking pile of half-baked bullshit largely due to the fact that our teacher, in her infinite fucking wisdom decided we should save all our little game's shit into some god forsaken plain-text format that is every bit as ass-backwards as it is completely useless and utterly unhelpful. Can't use a real format, like XML. NO. That'd be too motherfucking easy and I could hash out the persistence layer in, like, three hours tops. But, no. I have to read everything in line-by-line like some kind of fucking savage.
Though, for some, it actually kinda is good prep for the real world, since you never know when you're going to be thrown some bullshit the idiot before you hacked together using bits of string and his own feces.
And, its due in two days.
And, I still have all that other shit to do on top of it.
THERE IS LITERALLY NOT ENOUGH ALCOHOL IN MY HOME. SOMEONE, SEND ME SOME GOD DAMNED EVERCLEAR.
When website make "Top Ten movies of the year" lists before the years over. Do you really think there won't be any potential good movies in December? Wait til the year is over.
One of these days I am going to catch one of the many people who spread the meme about the rebels of Star Wars being horrible terrorist and mass murderers for blowing up the Death star and force them to explain why they always ignore that the DEATH STAR was a legimite military target that had been previously used to blow up an inhabited planet. A planet that wasn't the rebel base mind you, they wanted to blow up an important planet just to show that the Empire is crazy enough to do it. ...But sure, let's focus on the insurgent group that blew up the military vessel that tried to kill them all. "...Boo hoo the mean rebels destroyed our planet killer that was mainly used to destroy civilian targets, I am the saddest space-nazi!"
But if the rebels just did what they were told then the Empire wouldn't have needed to blow up Alderaan!
CHECKMATE JEDI!

Governor Tarkin: The Imperial Senate will no longer be of any concern to us. I have just received word that the Emperor has dissolved the council permanently. The last remnants of the Old Republic have been swept away forever.
General Tagge: But that's impossible! How will the Emperor maintain control without the bureaucracy?
Governor Tarkin: The regional governors now have direct control over their territories. Fear will keep the local systems in line. Fear of this battle station.
Look that quote from Tarkin was probably just a joke. It was only locker room talk of the sort that all guys get up to. It's not what he meant at all. What about all those secret holograms that Princess Leia was sending out? Why isn't the media talking about that?

Just like when Duterte said that he had personally killed drug addicts it was just a metaphor? And I really wish that this whole "Empire did nothing wrong!" meme was a hilarious hyperbole instead of something far too common in the real world.
It seems like the term "alt-right" is being over/misused more than "ironic".
What I'm talking about is how the term is being thrown about to describe "something I don't like." Kind of like how wingnuts call everything they disagree with "communism."
What I'm talking about is how the term is being thrown about to describe "something I don't like." Kind of like how wingnuts call everything they disagree with "communism."
But I think my observation went over your head. Communism is a set of values as they relate to policies that one can readily ascertain and measure by a set of criteria, for which there is a general consensus (i.e. ask "what is the policy" and then read The Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital, and see if the policy meshes with those writings). The alt-right is noticeably more vague in what it believes, being a hodge-podge of various groups that believe white men have it so hard, and lashing out at others for their perceived misfortune. The alt-right has two other reasons that hamper its clarity as a philosophy. The first is that, aside from Breitbart, it lacks any kind of centralized organization or entity, making it more susceptible to fragmentation of beliefs. Second, like I said above, many followers of the alt-right will openly dismiss their beliefs or actions as "mere irony" if given any scrutiny.
I mean, it takes a special kind of shitty person to say "lets send all blacks back to Africa" or to throw up a nazi salute with a "heil hitler," only to follow it up by saying "no, you take it too literally. I was just being ironic and exuberant, you sjw."

Oh, I understand full well what you're talking about. What I'm saying is that even considering that, the term is overused. People are affixing the label to anybody critical of certain people, ideas, or policies, regardless of their actual positions.
People are affixing the label to anybody critical of certain people

Like those critical of black people?

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that using the label "alt-right" where it doesn't apply is dangerous, because it both dilutes the meaning of the term and allows actual alt-rightists to more easily seduce people to their cause.

I don't really think the alt-right cares what we call them. Unless we call them jews, that would really upset them.

That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that we shouldn't use the term "alt-right" willy-nilly. Using it for actual alt-rightists is fine.

And I'm not taking your argument seriously. The alt-right works by being vague and "ironic" while phrasing disgusting ideas in a palatable manner. Against this backdrop, I find it far better to err on the side of over-inclusivity, if only to be safe as not doing so will give the alt-right a new way to rephrase its white-nationalism in a more palatable sense. The alt-right has every right to exist as a group and belief, that is how freedoms work, but it needs to be shunned and nipped in the bud socially so that it doesn't shift the overton window and normalize white nationalism.

I can understand where you're coming from, but I think what you're suggesting could very easily backfire.
But I don't want to go off half-cocked. How "over-inclusive" are we talking here?
Realized that I still haven't watched the 4th Transformers film so I went to watch some clips on the Youtube and eventually read the plot from Wikipedia. Even though it has several actors I like the film seemed like absolute rubbish. Silly plot and cartoonish characters side by side with what appears to be attempts at serious moments and scary looking characters but the pieces don't fit together and it just doesn't seem to work.
Just a query, is "Islamism" the same as Wahhabism, the inspiring ideology of Al Queda, the Taliban and ISIS? Or os it any promtion of the Islamic religion or its values? Does it represent radical Shia or Sunni beliefs?
It's nice to know what the defining features of an ideology is before condemning people for defending it.

People who look at the raw fact that eight people have as much wealth as the bottom half of the world's population (Oxfam; last year they said 62 but this year said that with updated data they only just got they'd have said 9) and say, "What's wrong with that?"
despite feudal system going away for a while upwards mobility is almost as rare as evidence of trickle down economics working.
I wish it would snow down here. I've been steadily marinating in my own sweat for the past two months.

Hyper-christian people I live with listening to radio, Ken Ham commercial comes on where he equates allowing gay marriage with allowing poly-marriage (which I only have problems with for the inheritance-type issues it creates), allowing child marriage, and allowing marriage to animals. I objected, saying the words "consenting adults", but was immediately shouted down and told they weren't gonna argue the issue with me.Which, of course, is a sign they know they'd lose. "Don't confuse us with logic" and all that.
Can't help you with that buddy. You've got two choices though. Learn to live with it and be forever annoyed or CHANGE THE UNIVERSE!

Depends on the movie. If the scene in question is overacted to hell and back, I can at least understand it.
But I'm not talking about that, because that would be a scene that is funny. As I said before, I'm talking about scenes that are not funny and neither are they meant to be funny (I say also "not meant meant to be funny" because people will still laugh at supposed comedy that fails horribly either due to being idiots or due to some kind of awkward pitty laughter, either way I understand in that situation why the audience is laughing).
I'm talking about well acted, well written, effective, non-comedy moments where the audience reaction is completely at odds with both the intended and resulting tone. I'm not talking about "so bad it's hilarious" moments, obviously I get why people laugh at that. Although I've never seen such a movie in the cinema. I've watched plenty on Netflix though, thank God for Canon movies and for Steven Seagal.

On a different note, coz I've given up trying to explain the last one, I "love" it when you get a multiplayer ban because the game crashed. It's great being penalised by a developer for their own shitty programming.
I know it's probably very difficult to make a game differentiate between a crash and you just leaving, but surely bans should be handed outbased on patterns of behavior, not after a single disconnect? Seems like it'd be a lot fairer.

The ban thing is rather heavy-handed; especially when you could just decrement a "good player" rating, instead.
As far as the pattern matching, that would be extremely difficult. Its all to do with defining proper heuristics, because you're trying to quantify to a machine exactly what behaviours even are in the first place, let alone how to tell good ones from the bad ones. If memory serves, your software doesn't even know why a disconnection happened; after all, it isn't like you have a connection with which to send along a reason code to the server. In the eyes of Friend Computer, all disconnects are the same.

Someone shares a promo video of a pistol holster onto the FB group for Shadowrun. Two things happen.

I'm going to pointlessly fuel that debate by arguing that if you were that fucking worried about needing to fire off a shot ASAP, where every millisecond counts and the split second it takes to pull the slide back means the difference between life and death, then you wouldn't be walking around with it holstered in the first place.
(I for one would move somewhere else, if not for myself then for my family, if life was so dangerous in Finland.)
Actually that's quite a good point. If all the pro-gun people in the US and elsewhere argue they need guns for protection then perhaps they should move to somewhere less dangerous. I know moving elsewhere is a big deal but to me it seems a more realistic and practical solution than just buying a gun and thinking you can Rambo your way out of a situation if the shit ever hits the fan.

When it interferes with critical aspects of my life (if I want to get a proper job in my field, I NEED a fuckin degree), it and anything else that does so can go straight down the shitter. Besides, I prefer to take pride in my own, willing accomplishments. Taking pride in things that are forced upon you is just dumb.
(I realize you were likely being tongue-in-cheek, but I've found more than a few folks who honestly felt that way.)
Actually serious question Queen because you know about law stuff. I know a guy on another site who argues that regular juries should be replaced by ones run by trained professionals who's job is to sit on juries because regular people are too easily confused and manipulated by skilled lawyers to ignore evidence because they don't have a strong enough understanding of forensic science, law and critical thinking. He came off rather convincing, especially after I watched that TV show about the OJ Simpson case. But I didn't completely buy it because he's a fanatical anarcho-capitialist who I know to be a giant Dunning-Kruger about nearly every topic I know much about (ie Climate Change, History).
So is he being a Dunning-Kruger about this? Is there some reason that's actually terrible or could that work?
First, if there's juries, then it's not anarchy. You've got a pretty big government by the time courts come into play.
Now you might be wondering "Wouldn't companies just rule in favor of whoever payed them the most? Wouldn't poor people be unable to afford legal protection? Wouldn't that make the law impossible to enforce since a rapist could refuse to go to any court that wasn't run by MRAs? Wouldn't the competing police forces/courts inevitably clash with each other and cause a civil war, the winner would be a new government?" The answer to these questions is "NO, BECAUSE IT JUST WOULDN'T SHUT UP!"
Wouldn't companies just rule in favor of whoever payed them the most?If your company was known to be biased like this, people who expect to be innocent would not want to hire it (because they expect to be innocent and don't want to pay extra for rulings in their favour). Further, if I know you hire companies that will rule in favour of the highest bidder then I won't interact with you, including trade, and you will lose money.

There is this meme in Finland now...
Write "minun nimeni on" to google translate, followed by your name. (The phrase means "my name is" in Finnish.)
The results are weird.
One buddy got "my name is no connection."
I on the other hand get "my name is asshole."
Because of course I do.
My wife on the other hand gets "my name is to let the forest frog" which at least sounds cool.

I no longer trust my chemistry professor. I usee to think that he was just an asshole. But, I now find that this piece of shit gave us factually wrong information, and I can fucking prove it. In the early part of the class, he gave us a formula to determine the density of water based on temperature. Simple shit, right? Except, Professor Dipshit gave us an equation that, when fed 68.5°C, it spits out some 22g/mL, which is plain bullshit. I found a different equation, which has a whole other term fucknugget missed, and IT outputs 0.99g/mL, which is perfectly reasonable. Wanna know where I found it? A government website, via Google. Wanna know how long it took me to find said information? Under 10 seconds. The information is about a decade old. THERE IS NO. FUCKING. EXCUSE. He either unintentionally or deliberately fed the whole class, many of whom are chemistry majors, factually wrong information.
TL;DR: My chemistry professor is either an idiot or a deceitful, lying scumbag.
So that bitch Handel won - repulsive Republican idiot running a little haven for inbreds and morons.
So. We're never winning anything, then. Fuck this country.
So we can ALMOST win. Which means... fuck all. They're winning by closing polling stations, gerrymandering, passing laws to keep themselves in office, all sorts of bullshit. You can't beat someone who sets up the rules of the game such that they auto-win. Its only close so that they can keep laughing at our futile efforts to matter. To laugh at our pointless hopes, our unobtainable dream of winning.
Seriously all these special elections have been in safe Republican strongholds. It's disappointing that we lost but to come so close? Dude that's amazing.
Ironbite-+20 districts almost falling does not bold good fortunes for the +6 districts they'll have to defend come 2018.

EDIT: People are way too upset about the next COD having women as soldiers and how that's not historically accurate. Also complaints about there not being swastikas in the multiplayer when it is done only so that Germans can play in the same multiplayer as everyone else.
There was also an interview of an old woman who claimed that there had been a lot of talk in the Japanese POW camp where she lived about a pilot woman who was captured.
Well, the Japanese government lies about a lot of the atrocities committed in the 30-40s so lying about kidnapping a few foreigners would not be much different. They are embarrassed about the crimes their ancestors committed and have decided to downplay or outright deny everything.
This is hardly the only mystery that people keep making new theories about.

Well, at least you can't leave it to four since it's an unlucky number in China (because sì = four sounds a lot like sǐ = death). If you get to four omitted numbers you have to find a fifth one to avoid insulting our next overlords.Hotels that pretend the 13th floor doesn't exist.

I guess how many floors a society likes to pretend don't exist is a good measure of how multicultural it is. Naturally, anything less than four is a bigoted cesspool of shitlords and privilege most heinously unchecked.

Yes, we're all heavily armed. Wouldn't that actually indicate a great deal of stability, considering that we aren't hearing about local governments being overthrown all the time? A 'few incidents' where almost no one got hurt besides the militias is not a sign of our impending doom.
I'm not saying we are stable, but armed militias is not evidence of anything besides America upholding its traditions.
So you didn't have a particular group in mind? We are very different from Finland. You may see militias as a very threatening and destabilizing force, and it might rightfully be so in your country, but such a thing is quite normal here.
Any type of revolutionary talk is almost always conditional upon government intrusiveness, like "if you try to take our weapons, we will resist". The number of people that actually want to overthrow the government in general is confined to the same tiny minority that you likely have in your own country.
Those sacks of shit gave me ibuprofen for four extracted wisdom teeth, one that required stitches. My mouth feels like I got in the middle of a knife fight between Michael Meyers and Leatherface. And I got fucking OTC bullshit non-painkillers. I'm about six seconds from fucking strangling someone.

Although if you're American you're shit out of luck, I've heard they don't sell it over the counter there and docs are kinda funny about prescribing it. Opioids though they hand out like fucking Smarties, coz logic.

They don't sell codeine over the counter here, either.
And they give out opioids like candy because the drug companies have been pushing them like nobody's business (plus, then they get to lock those people up when they inevitably go to heroin, so the private prison industry profits, too!).

You hash the PIN. If it matches the stored hash, great. If it fails, hash the reverse of the PIN. If it matches, then enter the emergency mode. If the reverse also fails, then the PIN is just wrong. Throw an error.
I mean, please don't call something impossible unless you've at least thought about what it would take to implement it. Sure, the scheme I described is vulnerable to timing attacks, but you'd need millisecond timing to detect it.

Doesn't work unless you already know the plaintext. Ideally, NOBODY knows the plaintext; either way is too insecure for modern use. Again, just because two strings are the opposite of one another doesn't mean their hashes will be opposites.

However, it doesn't account for the possibility that the person's either just screwing around (like, let's say they let their kid enter the PIN because parents are like that) or got it mixed up in their head (for example, if its a new PIN). Eventually, the police are going to start charging the bank for all these false alarms because you can, and will, be fined for wasting their time.
Jerks who make fun of fat people...
You can describe anything in a way that makes it sound unfunny. Having a quick temper is also a comedy staple, but that's also tied to mental health conditions....
People who complain about MTV not running music videos any more. We have Youtube nowadays, why the fuck would anyone want to watch music videos on TV?
If you just watch stuff on YouTube, you could be missing any number of things that you might well like but just don't get exposed to. If MTV played music videos from time to time, you could see one that you might never have found on your own but end up liking.That's what playlists are for. Just pick one that more or less covers your taste in music and see what you get. While I realise your mileage may vary, I've personally discovered far more songs I like that way than I ever did on TV. Not to mention, I don't have to waste time sitting through songs I don't like.
A while back on this thread Askold was talking about Star Wars fans who take the empire's side.
I was reminded of that because I recently came across Steven Universe fans who genuinely think the Diamonds are good and Rose Quartz is evil for rebelling against them to save the earth. (For anyone who doesn't watch Steven Universe the Diamonds are the rulers of an imperialistic slave empire that tried to destroy the earth in the distant past but were foiled by Rose Quartz's started a rebellion to prevent the destruction of the human race.)
I know there's a frighteningly large number of people who don't care about genocide or mass murder if it happens to someone else, but I would have assumed everyone thought genocide was bad if they'd be on the receiving end.
The incessant whining about "lore rape" in Shadow of War. From what I've seen, most of these supposed instances fall into two categories:
...
2. Can be explained by the game being set in a different continuity from the books (and I think the movies as well).
Even if it was, lore is the very least of Shadow of War's problems.
Uhhhh if an admin could help me out, that'd be great?I don't know. Would it?
When you, on a whim, try to log in to a site that you haven't logged into in years, and they've changed domains, and your username is registered, but you can't get your password and the emails for resetting it don't go to your email: annoying

If you tell me which account this is, I'll reset the password and send an email to the address associated with that account

Shivahn. Keeping it old school. Also, apparently, logging in once every site generation.
Things that annoy me; these last five or seven pounds that will just not go on my body - 200 pounds is so close, yet it seems so far away.

People try, and struggle, to PUT ON weight?? I wish I had that problem lol.
I'm assuming though you're talking about body building or something rather than just generally trying to get less skinny. Unless you're so tall that being nearly 200lbs means you're skinny, but I think you'd need to be 10ft tall for that lol.
...at 17, he was 290 pounds.
If ever there were to be a case study in laughably loaded questions, that shit would take fucking centre stage.
Firefox had an update that fucked several of my add-ons, including Noscript.
Art Vandelay - I am a little bit miffed, and therefore you all have to hear about it.

I had the same thing happen. I had to switch from Greasemonkey to Tampermonkey for all my scripts, and find some replacements for crap that wasn't even compatible anymore. Quite the pain.
I've no fucking idea how, but apparently the new update for NoScript has caused it to go full retard. Trying to access the list of scripts on any given webpage causes it to reduce the size of my window, of all things. I wouldn't mind so much if not for the fact that good script blockers for Firefox seem to be rather few and far between, especially nowadays.
I have to say, technology not quite working as it's supposed to is one of the most frustrating things in the world.
Nobody tell them that Hillary didn't win. Nobody.
Ironbite-cause this is hilarious.
People are idiots.
Including some of my friends.
.....but I'm not sleeping with either of you so how'd you get my cold?
If your computer is 11 years old, it's long past time. Computers have an effective lifespan of 5-6 years normally.
I swear, I have to be one of the only fuckin' people that gives zero fucks about "console exclusive games," and honestly finds the practice more than a little bit suspect. Ideally, you shouldn't have to buy a console just because a couple of the titles you like are basically held captive by the console manufacturers. Let me play Persona on XBone, or [insert most recent mainline Mario title here] on anything other than a glorified gaming tablet. I should buy a console because I want to support the people making the console.
[Besides, at least Microsoft won't give away your credit card info because someone came down to the office with Little Caesar's and a couple 2-litres of Mountain Dew.]
Sounds like you need to read my book, Calming Your Cornhole. If anything, I'm more dissing Nintendo.
What's even more fun is the ones who are fine with potatoes and varying horse breeds, but show them one woman fighter or one person with skin darker than paper, and they start absolutely screaming.
And we have examples of women fighting in wars. More commonly now than centuries ago but seeing someone go "it is biologically impossible for women to be soldiers" is just ridiculous when we actually have real world examples that prove otherwise.
For God's sake, we have proof of children fighting in wars (though most people would prefer to end that practice.)
If a manga is advertised as "romantic comedy between the hero and the demon queen" but it turns out that the only reason the daemon queen goes on a date with the hero is...
Let's see: "The hero threatens to kill her unless she goes on a date with him and after seeing that he can defeat her easily she agrees only to save her life."
Japan: What the fuck?
I mean, it does turn into a rom-com later but the start of the series is a bit creepy.
A bumper sticker that read "American by Birth. Gun owner by choice." against an American flag background.
What possesses a person to place that on their vehicle? Wasn't even on a truck; it was on a fucking Prius.
In this day and age, people apparently still fall for the whole dihydrogen monoxide schtick. For fuck's sake, that's just embarrassing.
"If people hate you it means that you are doing something right."
Fuck off. Bernie Sanders, AOC and Trump all have a lot of people vocally opposing them. Does that mean that all three of them are doing a good job? Proportionally Trump likely has the most people opposing him so is he the best US president ever?

According to him he is both the best and the most classy.

As I recall, the UK privatised the railways a while back and now they seem to be a barely functioning, price gouging garbage fire.
Yeah it seems like Jake still hasn't learned anything.That is because he has been disgusted with Joshua Moon’s recent actions.
Now though it seems he's got some bizarre scheme in mind to try and take down Joshua Moon.

He also sees this as an opportunity to take over Kiwi Farms and use the site to recruit people to his cause to restore the true heir to the throne of England.
He has been trying to tell you that you can help his plan since you have sex with lots of women. You can find one with computer skills and convince her to seduce Joshua Moon and go to his house so that she can go on his computer and hack the site to get rid of his administrator powers and give that power to Jacob.
If that doesn’t work, perhaps a woman here can be the one who will seduce Joshua Moon. He says that you should help his plan because you also seem to be disgusted with Joshua Moon for his actions.
Wow Jake you are really gay for Niam aren't you?
Hey we have a serious discussion to discuss so let's get everyone on board so we can move forward.

TIME TO START NUKING!
Ironbite-and that's how I left the Discord server we had.
Kinda reminds me of the time I saw a dude claiming that Hitler and the Nazis were Antifascists.
I've been removing dozens of attempted spam posts to the forum the last few days. Most of it is so weird gibberish of random words that I have no idea what it is on about but lately I have seen Hydrochloro-whatever ads.
I guess snake oil to cure Covid has now become a competitor to the "pills that make your dick grow" in the top 10 most popular spam content. (Porn/sex related spam is still comfortably holding number one position.)
