I can relate. When playing brawlers or fighting games, I almost always go with the female characters, because they're usually faster, and I prefer the speedy characters over the tanks, but there's always gotta be one frat boy in the crowd who has to pipe in and say "yeah sure, you just wanna look at her tits!" It is precisely this reason why I pick the most flamboyantly gay or ugliest guys I can find in any fighting game. It's hilarious to see people cringe. Actually, one guy I played in 3rd Strike at my university used Akuma a lot. I only really know Hugo, so I picked him, and his reaction was "Shit, I'd never play him 'cause he ugly!" Uh... dude. Akuma ain't exactly a looker either. For the people that mentioned the news, yeah, I read it a lot and I don't know why. The stories they deem newsworthy are either fucking miserable or some inane shit about a celebrity. It's just "see what country is getting shit all over itself." For example, articles about rape being used as a weapon of war in Rwanda. Great going, human race! |

I hate it when my employers bite off more than they can chew. Just yesterday, we were supposed to audit an Old Navy, and someone looked at a spreadsheet and decided we could do it in X time with X people, and hey, Old Navy recently renovated, so even though they had the same amount of stuff (possibly more), it was slightly more organized, so obviously, you could shave a few people off the staff, get done in the same amount of time and save some money, right? I got home from work at 6:30 AM, every muscle in my body hurts. What pisses me off about this is that, even though we might not get blamed for the debacle, it still amounts us working an excruciating 12 hour audit in order to clean up someone else's mess... meanwhile, the people behind the desks who were actually responsible for the fuck-up will get a slap on the wrist, and if we're lucky, they won't try to pass the buck onto us in order to avoid looking stupid in front of the bigwigs. All I ask is that we take some of these executives and dealmakers, the people who deliberately shortstaff us in order to pinch pennies, and either handcuff them to a treadmill, or just make them climb up and down a ladder for hours on end, just so that maybe they could empathize with how we feel at the end of a late-store... and if not that, then for flat out revenge, I'm flexible with my motives. Sensitive people. Honestly, quit being a pussy and grow a pair! I was 10... just saying. |

Maybe your dad should have slapped you more with his bottle of whiskey and you'd be more of a man!
But I wasn't referring to you anyways.

You know something that pisses me off? My family over my room. I'm chronically hearing "If you'd just pick up, it'd be fine," and whenever I try to tell them "The problem is I don't have space for most my stuff," it seems to go unheard. This annoys me a crapton, as I think I would know better than them that half my mess is attributed to no space rather than just being lazy (though I am that too).
On top of that, whenever I suggest a way to handle my stuff (mostly by adding new shelves) I'm told to wait until we can refit the house, which will probably never happen at the rate we're going. This means I can't get additional shelves to put more books/cd/games on, and am juggling my stuff between 3 tiny bookcases, and the badly setup shelves in what is technically my closet (note: The dryer is in it too!), which are starting to bow and cannot really have anything more added without snapping.
So, yeah. That pisses me off.

I'm in a similar situation with room for stuff... Although, not to that extreme.
Sorry, Ryochan ):

Yeah, I can totally get behind that. My dad was more of a Labatt Blue kind of guy, but he really doesn't drink anymore, ever since he went on Paxil, and he's actually as much a geek as I am, just that he geeks out on hockey stats and power tools, and computer stuff to a lesser extent. My mom, on the other hand... she's a newfie, and she has no trouble holding her rum and whiskey with the boys. |

This annoys me a crapton, as I think I would know better than them that half my mess is attributed to no space rather than just being lazy (though I am that too). I had this issue when I lived with my parents also. I could only keep my crap in my room. Which was killer because we had (and they still do) so much unused space in the house. It was always a disaster. Now my parents come visit me and are like "Oh! I can't believe how clean your apartment is!". Yeah, no shit...I have space to put my crap now and everything doesn't have to be in a single room. Now if they would stop bring me freaking furniture I didn't ask for or want. I still only have so much space in my apartment compared to your freaking large house. |

I'm moving out with my significant other at the end of the month, and everyone from both families, from both sides of the family, want to give us all the stuff they don't want! Some of it is great, but some of it practically impossible to get into the apartment because the elevator's so small or because it doesn't come apart. You know, the old fashioned furniture that's solid wood. I think we've been offered 5 dish sets so far. I just feel like it's "oh, you're moving out? Take all the old crap I don't want out with you!" |

One of the "best" things they gave me was my Grandmother's sewing table. I was excited to get it until I opened it up and no sewing machine popped out of it. I was like what the fuck am I supposed to do with a sewing machine table with no sewing machine. My Mom told me use mine but it doesn't have the fittings so it can go inside. Apperently my Grandmother took the machine with her when she went to assisted living and left the table and my Mom couldn't deal with it in house.
Also lets not for get the 5 foot long ceder chest she keeps trying to host off on me. WTF? Is it supposed to go Mom? Up my ass?

If you could pull that off, I'd have to say you're in the wrong business.

 I got offered a low and long teak chest, it's probably 5 or 6 feet too. I think we'll have to bring that one up the stairs. Thankfully we live on the second floor. EDIT: On another note, I just found out a girl I went to highschool with, about 3 years younger than me, killed herself a few days ago. Now, I may seem cold, but am I the only person who has little sympathy for people who kill themselves? Everyone's all "omg nuuuu" and distraught about it. It seems over the top to me. There are exceptions, of course, where I understand. Say you have severe schizophrenia, or something to that effect that makes your life impossibly miserable with little chance for positive change. But even then, I believe there is help if you truely want it. I found out, that appearently, it's an epidemic where I used to live. About 4 other "kids" (18/19ish) have offed themselves. I'm too afraid to ask why, in case I offend someone. My life sucked growing up too, but I never wanted to or tried to kill myself. What's going on these days? |

But even then, I believe there is help if you truely want it. The way I see it, suicide isn't really all that different from, say, kidney failure, or a heart condition. Kidneys don't work right, and left untreated, you will die from it, ignore a heart condition, and you're asking for it. People like to think that the brain is different, but it isn't. It's more complex, maybe, but in the end, it's susceptible to malfunction from all the same causes... disease, strain, injury, trauma, exposure to chemicals, etc. When the brain isn't working right, but it could be close to impossible to make rational decisions, and you might not even realize something is wrong, so the decisions you do make might seem completely rational to you. Don't get me wrong, it's usually sad when people die, but there isn't really anything specific about suicide that sets it apart from other ways to go... when you break it down. The only difference is people would like to think they're in complete control of their minds, which is blatantly false on so many levels. When people get all bent out of shape over it, I imagine it's either out of ignorance or fear. |

As someone who has suffered from depression and has in the past tried suicide, I agree with Jave. You are not in your right mind when trying to commit suicide. Like when the economy went bad in 2009 and there were lots of stories of husbands killing the whole family then committing suicide, everyone I meet said "fine kill yourself but don't kill your family. I just don't get it". I did though, in that bizarre suicidal mindset they are saving their family from a terrible life not worth living. It's fucked up but so is your brain.
Now, I totally understand why you don't feel sad. I think a lot of the "sad" reaction when someone commits suicide is guilt that they didn't do anything or see any signs before hand. Because unlike something like cancer you can stop a suicide. For some a suicide might make them fearful also because where is line before you fall off the precipice and do it yourself?
