I hate these sites so much.
Neato, my almost three-year-old PC doesn't wanna boot. Don't have an OS at hand, and I'm too busy with school and shit to try and do something about it. Me being computer-illiterate doesn't help at all either. I'll have to wait weeks if not months in order to get it to an IT guy or save money for a new OS, since I might have lost my Win7 disks.
Great start to a week, eh?
It took a shower just before I went to sleep last night and my hair feels like shit again.
It's a really crappy feeling.
I need to get another job but I've looked around at all places in my area that might be hiring and none of them are. Hello poverty.
I hate when people expect you to share your shit with them, especially with food or drink. And they get shitty when you don't offer. Where the hell does that thought process even come from? Grow up. Seriously one of my biggest pet peeves.

Probably missing context, but if it's a friend it's not strange to share, especially if they forgot their lunch.
My girlfriend is pretty independent and never accepts when i want to pay for her
Now that seems petty, like "why are you complaining?"
Well, the problem is I'm accustomed to that, so I never offer to pay for her, knowing that she'll refuse anyway
So when the time comes for me to pay my bill and her hers, people around me look at me like I'm some cheap asshole. Like this one time I was at the restaurant, the waitress was going to bring the bills and I told her that we would be paying our own bills separately. She looked at me furtively like I was offering to sell her to slavery or something
But when my gf is the one who say she'll pay her own bill herself, everything is fine

Oh no! Nothing like that, if I had a friend who forgot a lunch I'd either share or just buy them their own. Here's an example of what I'm talking about: the other day I brought a box of donuts to school, I drive my friend to classes every other day and I gave him one of the donuts that I had bought that morning, I got them right before I picked him up, but I gave one to him when we got to class because it's hard to hand over donuts in the car. Another person that hangs out with our group got shitty because she saw me give my friend that donut and because I didn't offer her any donuts, she later complained to my best friend about it, saying that I should have offered to give her a donut and that I was a bitch for not doing so. She never even asked for one. She just straight up expected me to go out of my way to give her the donuts that I had bought, which were supposed to just be for me and the other friend's breakfast.
[B]edit:[/B] not only that, but I know she had eaten breakfast already, and the donuts that I had brought to school were my breakfast (and one was a treat to the friend I brought to class with me that morning, I know it would be shitty to sit in a car for ten or so minutes that smells like donuts and not get any), I hadn't eaten yet.

I know what you're talking about, but from the other end of the situation. I'm the same way as your girlfriend, and my boyfriend's friend straight up told him he was a dick for letting me pay my own way or sometimes paying for him as well (he pays for me at times too, it's usually fairly even, actually). Not only that, but I love to buy gifts for my boyfriend, and I don't expect any in return. On several occasions I've bought him recently released video games that he hadn't gotten ahold of yet and the same thing has happened and people got shitty with him because I was paying for something he was expected to pay for.
It sucks because he's gotten to a point where he refuses to let me pay for things at times because he feels like a jerk, when I honestly just want to treat him.

I hate this bullshit weather. God damn tampa is at least 10 degrees colder and it's MUCH closer to the equator.

I feel sad that the Automotive subforum was removed. I don't know many users on facepunch who are interested in cars, so that was the only place where we would discuss our things together.
Fucking snow stoooooooooop
[QUOTE=Texas_Ranger;47103302]I remember posting in the old thread about a friend of mine who lives in a super religious Jehovah's Witness household, and things haven't improved for him since then. His grandmother keeps forcing him to go out in service even though he's clearly not very religious, and she also won't let him apply for a job (she believes that he should devote his entire life to their Kingdom Hall). His older brother is still a complete shithead, and there's a very good chance that my friend might get kicked out of his house tomorrow.
All this comes at a very stressful time for me (i've had to work really hard on some stuff for the past few months). We've already made plans for when shit hits the fan tomorrow, and he's probably gonna become a roommate for a while. Things are gonna be rough.[/QUOTE]
So hey, things went really well for him. His family actually accepted his decision to leave the church AND they didn't kick him out.
As for shit that gets me mad, I had to do a ton of driving today and I got a migraine from it. I had to drive a different friend home afterwards and he asked why I was "acting like an asshole"(I wasn't talking a whole lot). When I told him that I had a migraine, I was told to "get over it".
Seeing someone instantly switch to "Away" the moment you message them.
Thats automatic on steams part iirc if they get a message but haven't been active for a while.
[QUOTE=Lepaz;47105355]If I'm not mistaken, aren't you allowed to transfer your downloaded games at the store?[/QUOTE]
depends on the store, and i think it's saying i'd have to give them my 3ds before the new 3ds is released
there's also print below this image that says i can put it toward a reserved system before the 15th, but i have no idea if i can apply that to a system they currently have inside the store

I haven't really been in the mood to post much here. I've been in a decent mood for the past couple days and now I just feel blegh.
going to a public school and being an introvert is pretty crap

Since I can't post what I originally wanted to say, I'll opt for something different.
Registering for classes as a senior: holy fuck. I need 12 units minimum; but I can't get enough core classes to qualify for full time. So now I'm taking three extra classes at one unit each just to get up to that magical 12 number: A swimming class, a stretching class, and (hopefully) an archery class. I don't mind taking the last one; but I'm angry that I'm forced into a situation where I have to take a couple of bullshit classes because this school can't afford to add enough engineering classes for the amount of engineering students they have.
[QUOTE=kirby2112;47109036]Fucking snow stoooooooooop[/QUOTE]
Fuck you.
I finally have constant snow here. It took like 5 years to be it this constant.
I'm really peeved.
I got a hand-me-down camera from my mom, since she just got some fuck-massive camera with a holy-shit-huge lens.
The camera I got is supposed to be really good and shit, but it does this thing that pissed me off.
So here's a control picture I took with my iPhone
[t]http://i.imgur.com/o6H88Cs.jpg[/t]
The first picture I took just turned out blurry because the auto focus decided to throw a fit
[t]http://i.imgur.com/GpgTchY.jpg[/t]
So I turned off auto focus and set everything manually. I got a nice sharp and clear picture. I hit the button to snap the photo and IT MAKES IT FUCKING BLURRY AGAIN
[t]http://i.imgur.com/Kx2licY.jpg[/t]
I took picture after picture. This is literally the clearest I could get it after playing with all these settings for like a half an hour
[t]http://i.imgur.com/GbVDT2v.jpg[/t]
God dammit what the fuck is this. Every time I hit the button, no matter what mode it's on, no matter what setting it's at, it refocuses and fucks it all up.
Edgy 12 year olds. Good lord.

Turn off auto-focus and do it manually, if you can't find it, hold the lens in place with your hand.
Might fuck settings up but auto-focus can be a real bitch, evident in your attempts.
I don't know what's happened but ever since some time in late 2014 I've felt destitute of any motivation or interest I had in anything. I don't get it, everything just feels like a chore now. All I feel now is either cynical or tired.
instagram is meant for pictures, not your shitty motivational quotes
if the "picture" you're uploading is just black text on a white background, don't
[QUOTE=Katatonic717;47111377]-blurry pics-.[/QUOTE]
You might be a little close? If the lens is big it could be telescopic, try something further away. Failing that:
You didn't specify which camera this is, but assuming it's canon you can use the zoom buttons to finely adjust your focus. Make sure you're on Aperture Priority setting, it's the little AP logo on the wheel on the top. Finally make sure you have a narrow aperture, maybe >6 but if you have enough light just put it up to 15 to be sure. This should eliminate the blurring [I]if[/I] nothing on the camera is broken or dysfunctional.
If none of that works, you might wanna make sure your viewfinder is focused right (If your model has an optical viewfinder, again no info). Turn on live mode and make sure everything is in focus. Turn off Live Mode and adjust the little wheel next to the viewfinder to make sure the viewfinder is also in focus. It might be hard to get it right at first, if so you can shoot from Live Mode
When people dismiss an analogy purely because it's of a greater "seriousness" than what it's alluding to, regardless of whether the logic behind it still holds up.
Like, "2+2=3" is wrong for the same reason "2000+2000=3000" is.
Of course, an analogy [I]can[/I] be in bad taste.
