[QUOTE=SuperDuperScoot;47007969]Me: "I don't like x food/flavor"
Someone else: "omg ur so fucking picky jesus christ grow up retard"
Uhh
Okay, I'm apparently retarded now because I can't just instantly like every flavor I encounter nor control my tastebuds
Thanks[/QUOTE]
I think of this as a curse for myself to be honest.
I mean, yeah, my brain backfires when I try something new, but seriously I don't want to be picky. I want to eat a variety but I can't because if I do, migraines ensue and it pisses me off.
I'm unable to gain weight because of it.

Magsafe you cunt stop fucking disconnecting
My school has a thing called "Grade 13" where after you graduate you can take some more classes or if you failed grade 12 you have to go back.
So in August I had an agreement with my mom that if I don't get a job I'll go back to school and take some classes to see what I want to do in college, I sent out a few resumes but never got one interview so I went back to school.
Now halfway through the school year I could potentially have a job interview for a full-time job but If I do get it that means I will quit school and I won't get to see my friends and girlfriend everyday. I mean I know the whole point was I wanted to get a job but now that I've made all these new friends at school this year I really don't want to quit school
[QUOTE=AcidGravy;47007776]There's this girl at my college who hangs with the same group of friends I do, and she's really into me. Now she's a big gal and personally I'm not into big gals but that's not what put me off her. She makes me really uncomfortable, as in she talks about me in very very sexual ways to her friends, who all laugh it off like it's normal.
And no, I don't mean the regular "ooh he's hot I'd bang him" I'm talking about "oh he's making me gush oh fuck guys" or "I'm going to straddle him when he's sat down" and shit like that. She's even said it right in front of me once and it's really creepy. Imagine a guy saying the same kind of shit about a girl like "oh I want to cum on her face" or "I'm gonna hold her down and insert". It's not very funny then is it.[/QUOTE]
It's incredibly disturbing, I agree.
Worse is when you tell them that you're really uncomfortable with that shit and they simply refuse to stop.
How I fail every last exam because of lack of motivation/laziness/self discipline.
I always regret it afterwards but in the moment itself it's such a strong feeling of not giving a shit.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;47007174]The fact that I will never meet most of you in real life and 99% of you seem like pretty cool poppas.[/QUOTE]
We were [i]so fucking close[/i] to meeting each other at Fan Expo last year! I'm sure for a fact that we'll meet each other eventually some day.
I need to vent. I'm tired of keeping this shit pent up. Just ignore this if you don't want to read my petty garbage.
I absolutely despise a good deal of my family and cannot wait to get out.
My dad, though usually fairly laid back, has really bad temper issues and can't make his mind up on anything. Once my mom sets her foot down on something, he'll bleeding-heartedly defend her position regardless of what he promised on or agreed to before. Both of these tendencies leave him to be a little nutty.
My twin sister is a grade-A, clear case, textbook narcissist who seems to do absolutely no wrong in the eyes of my dad despite being the most spoiled little shit I know by a landslide. She lies and cries her way through literally everything and gets away with it for reasons unknown. On top of that, she verbally and emotionally abuses me pretty badly, and my parents don't believe me because and simply because she denies it. It exacerbates my intrusive thoughts and horrible self-esteem. My depression and thoughts of suicide are probably mostly because of her.
My younger sister is autistic, and my dad blindly defends her for it. She's smart enough to know how to exploit this, so she basically gets away with compulsive lying and being an absolute it to everybody with no repercussions because "she's autistic and doesn't know better." Bullshit. She likes to tell my parents that I stole her money, and consequently I have to "reimburse" her with my own non-stolen money, which she ends up spending almost exclusively on candy. My mom has caught on, but my dad refuses to believe that she's being exploitative. To defend her, he does what he does best and goes on the warpath.
I don't really have any problems with my brother. He also is on the autism spectrum, but he's far more well-adjusted than my sister and thus gets far less special attention. He often wakes up early and loudly reads TVTropes stuff and TV/video game quotes from his computer, which isn't really much more than a little obnoxious. He doesn't know when enough is enough and tends to be very nasty when he thinks he's being witty, but he's almost always just fine.
I have absolutely no issue with my mom, but she's fairly passive and has been heavily depressed since her teenage years.
I honestly can't wait to get out of here. Sorry that this went on for as long as it did.

I still have to work on this textbook about politics, and oh fuck me next week we have to finish this project about the christianity due the 5th.
Both of these are due to lack of motivation, and I think I'll pull a all-nighter to work on the christianity project now. Although I have to type without bottoming out my keyboard switches because I'll wake everyone up if not.
The worst thing about it is that sometimes I suddenly remember all the shit (like an entire year's worth of work) I still have to do, all at once, usually right before I fall asleep. I don't know what an anxiety attack feels like, but if I had to guess it would be that feeling but a lot worse.

Instant gratification is a bitch.
Yeah, I just had that same feeling, so I'm trying to catch up now while simultaneously sacrificing sleep.
I'll just take massive amounts of coffee tomorrow.
[QUOTE=bdd458;47004769]OK so on Monday I ordered the MGS: Legacy Collection off of an Amazon Seller in NYC. It shipped the next day, before the book I ordered from Amazon did. It goes through Connecticut (where I live) to Springfield Massachusetts where it sits for 2 days, no tracking update. I don't worry for the first day or so as USPS's tracking is notoriously bad.
However, Friday it still hadn't moved so we called the local post office. They said to track it again today, and to call them to see if they can get it set on the right path. I enabled the Text alerts for tracking, and right as I'm about to go to sleep I get two notifications. First is that it arrived in [I][B]FUCKING SOUTH DAKOTA[/B][/I] at like 10:00 PM, and then left a bit after midnight.
Post Office said too far away for them to do something, so I contacted the seller and they said they will hopefully be able to set it on the right course, but also said I should be more patient as the delievery window was between the 22nd and 28th. However, I wouldn't have contacted them if the damn thing was you know, close to Connecticut, not in fucking South Dakota.
Maps for reference of it's trip. Circled area is the general area of where I live.
Leg 1 of trip, sorta makes sense I guess, but would have been quicker to ship go to Postal facilities closer to me. Whatever, it's not that far off.
Leg 2 of trip (I don't know the exact route it would have taken to Sioux Falls)

Like, this is really infuriating, since the Post Office said it could take up to an extra 15 days to reach me.[/QUOTE]

wow that fucking sucks.
I would probably go crazy if I had to spend a year with your family, no offense. Move out as early as you possibly can, and don't look back on them unless you absolutely have to. Your suicidal thoughts/depression will ease if you shut them out of your life
ME: last time i had a long power outage it was 90 degrees outside every day
MY FRIEND: wow why are you using inferior measurements???
...okay. that's like the millionth time you've said that after i brought up temperature. just go ahead and keep using everything i say as a springboard for internet points.
and i just know later he's going to act like i'm being a little shit. that seems to be the only way out of every situation for me. sorry i can't express my feelings in a reasonable way when all you fucking do is spout off memes and call me an SJW when i get upset over anything.
i can't say one god damn thing without becoming someone's comedy routine and i'm tired of it
[QUOTE=Smallheart;47004035]Have tried it, cat jumps over the baby gate, and if we close him in a separate room or level of the house, he shits on the floor, even with access to his litter box, like it's out of spite.[/QUOTE]
Listen. I'm not advocating you to remove your cat, but i'll tell you this.
When I was born, my parents had a Cat named Socks, and when I was brought into the household, 95% of the attention went away from Socks, he himself was stressed and jealous, because there's something else in the Household, and there's no attention being paid to the cat.
The fucker hated me, and was livid to me even as I got older. When it died it pissed on my chair out of spite. I still felt sorry for it.
The best thing you can do at hand is to give your cat attention, you can't remove them or seperate it, but when you see the Cat near the child, try to do something that'll get it's attention and then give it attention as a way to get it to fuck off and realize it's still wanted.
Imho.

My school's janitors are so shit. They "cleaned" the band room by haphazardly moving a mop around and you can tell because there's giant smears from the dirt everywhere and they did something because the moment I got in to the band room allergies just hit.
I could pay a visit to Kirbyfactor or Gokiyono. Problem is, my parents don't want me to go anywhere or don't want anyone they don't know personally near us. I swear to christ, I am not allowed to do anything.

Tbh I wouldn't wanna meet any facepunchers, unless it was like, a big meeting such as pax or something.
People who are condescending to those who are doing them a huge favor, saying that the person they are asking for help was "obstinate" about helping them with this massive job.
On another note, my friend's PTSD recovery is still moving along, and her agoraphobia is slowly being overcome, and we have begun working on the other main symptoms, that being her hyperawareness and intense paranoia.

[QUOTE=gk99;47007272]This fucking church my Mom keeps trying to take me to.
I'd be perfectly okay with going to church. All my friends do it, it's in my religion to do it, etc.
But it's this fucking church that makes me upset. The preacher repeats himself 17 million fucking times, speaks in tongues just whenever, and the worst part, spews his political views for no good damn reason. Not to mention it lasts [B]two hours[/B] and it's the longest fucking drive away so it's not like I could just walk home. He is the prime example of what not to do when preaching and once I'm there, I'm not getting back until he's done bitching about how he hates abortions.
It's fine, you'd probably hate me.

Dude, that sucks. I leave my windows open 24/7, even in the winter.[/QUOTE]
God man that sucks, my old pastor (I'm lutheran) use to have a different view instead of yours, he thought that basically that stuff sucks, but mostly kept it out of his sermons. He mostly said stuff about biblical stories and about how we should care about ongoing wars, he was a retired vietnam war veteran and military chaplain, i think he was a Marksman in a Spec Ops group in vietnam. (and his son is a navy seal). His idea to that stuff was if you did stuff like abortion, homosexuality, remarriage, or any other stuff like that is usually wrong, But if you believe in God and Jesus. You are basically fine.
Its like him saying that God knows you do some stuff wrong anyway, but still loves you.
I still find it ironic that my old pastor was a Marksman in Vietnam, and his son is a Navy seal, i remember he told me about a year ago that his son was after an African warlord.
