One thing that really annoys me is that a lot of people can't see you advocate for something without assuming you want the opposite to go away. For instance, if I say I want games to appeal to women, then a bunch of guys will immediately assume I want [I]all[/I] games to appeal to women and for all titties in games to go away. If you advocate for women's rights then people assume you think men's rights don't matter also. Prime example was in the BLM movement, like them or hate them (I'm on the fence and don't really care), the fact that people took that simple phrase as meaning "only black lives matter fuck white people" is stupid and childish. Goes both ways, too. I can't advocate for men's rights without people assuming I'm some alt righter that hates women These things can coexist. It's not one or the other.
So I heard my mom was missing a guinea pig in the large pen. For reference, she breeds them. I like cuddling with them every once in a while - while they're not the most exotic or interesting pets, they're damn cute for sure, just adorable bundles of cuteness and just... Yeah.. She asked me if I could help look for her. The large pen we have outside is in a shack our grandfather built, the pen itself is held up by support beams that for some reason are hollow, but are pretty high up. I decided to stick my finger into one of the beams, and immediately I felt something... Spongy and soft. I said, "I think there's something in here, what is it?" "That's gotta be her." So mom took her out... The poor thing was compacted into a goddamn cube. I couldn't make out heads or tails... It was just a goddamn bundle of fur, flesh, shit and piss... I haven't seen something this horrific in a while. It's freezing outside too, so it must have been cold in there. I just hope she broke her neck... As cruel as it sounds, she at least wouldn't have to suffer being stuck in such a tiny tight space, alone, helpless, crumpled up with her head and feet like that. These poor animals are too innocent for such a fate. This hit me harder than it should all things considered... Just... Damn.

every postal service in this country sucks balls don't charge me for three day shipping if its going to take fucking five days anyways because your system is hot garbage and you have no desire to improve it
[QUOTE=gk99;52962489][media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FADELKcJ4OY[/media] This is easily the worst game in the series. Bar none.[/QUOTE] Tbh it’s honestly one of the best. Certainly rough on the edges, but like man, I can turn the HUD entirely off and play the game just fine. It’s refreshing.
There really needs to be something done about these fake ass chinese electronics sellers that flat out lie and inflate the specs in the title on amazon and ebay. Definitely a crock of shit that a "LED Laser Projector 4K Android Wifi 3D HDMI HDR" has hundred-thousand to one contrast ratio. Of course when you dig through the chinglish description that native resolution isn't even half assed 720p.
I managed to dent the bezel around my camera on my phone somehow. How...? It has a massive case covering everything.
[QUOTE=bdd458;52962760]Tbh it’s honestly one of the best. Certainly rough on the edges, but like man, I can turn the HUD entirely off and play the game just fine. It’s refreshing.[/QUOTE] Being able to play HUDless does not a good game make. "Rough on the edges" doesn't begin to describe it. For every good idea Ubisoft put into this, they have an equal and opposite fucking infuriating decision to go with it. In no other AC game have I died to so much bullshit that wasn't my fault. And holy fuck, the PC port. Have you ever wanted a game that freezes out of nowhere for 5-6 seconds every other time you kill an enemy outside of open combat? If so, this is the port for you. I had to force myself through this shit. I haven't felt this much anger playing a game since I spent literal hours trying to do Dark Souls' final boss, and at least in that it was my fault if I died, in this game that is not the fucking case.
I'm at the hospital and my dad is gone I don't know what to do He gone he was fine this morning oh my god
There is something that really irks me with the "Don't draw for faves/retweets and just have fun" argument, especially when it comes from the big guys. I agree that you shouldn't just focus on getting popular. I absolutely understand where they come from with this since its mostly used to motivate the artist, but it's really discouraging and ruins the motivation to continue when you get nobody new to check out your stuff. Especially when you have been doing this stuff for quite a while. It's really difficult to just ignore it. A lot of artists, who are really unnoticed, have really good artworks too. I haven't really see them posting anything probably because of the same reason, I dunno. It really sucks how difficult it is to get noticed these days.
I don't expect customers to be able to recite a passage from Othello when I serve them, but please have some very basic English skills. For clarity, I work in customer service - my department is literally called that and my interactions with customer are more than nods - we actually have to communicate, hence why it is infuriating when someone approaches me, slams something down in front of me and expects me to be able to decipher their request. Like I said, this doesn't mean "ewwwwww foreigners LEARN ENGLISH". Nah, but please know key words related to our interaction so that I have at least some idea of what you want. And no, they're not deaf nor are they a mute.
You're supposed to talk to a dog with a high-pitched voice when you're happy, and low-pitched voice when you're not - but I'm the complete opposite.
I'm mad at myself for being a fucking idiot

[QUOTE=The golden;52955641]Because the industry wants to satisfy peoples desire for instant gratification. People don't like being told their weight loss is going to be slow, so the industry just lies to them instead. Also a lot of it is fad too.[/QUOTE] I had a paper in which I explained why sugar companies are paying scientists to demonize unsaturated fats as a leading cause for weight gain and obesity. Got the best and reliable sources I could use and made the paper structurally sound. I got a C. Why? "Don't use NBC." The site had articles from sources! How the hell was I supposed to link to those without leading back to site articles?!
Okay I think I might be insane, but I swear some Windows programs were working fine but now they're not. I swear I didn't catch a virus, but I guess it won't hurt to check.
Just noticed my cursor occasionally moves to a random direction during game. Good luck trying to figure out why.
Middle mouse button finally gave out, dang. Really annoying in games where MMB is useful
I have two Chrome installs on two different computers, both with different OSes and for some reason both installs have slowed to a fucking crawl in the last 48 hours or so. Pages load fine but elements are unresponsive, videos stutter, scrolling freezes, typing freezes and "catches up," it's horrible. I don't know what the fuck happened [editline]10th December 2017[/editline] oh, it was a rogue extension. Of course. Now time to reenable them all individually. Great.
Fucking OCD. I absolutely cannot rate a post if it means my rating will be the sixth of its kind. If I accidentally give the sixth rating, I will stick around until I can have the seventh rating.
Seems like games just give fuck all interest to me now. I don't what happened but it did. Opened OW for about 20 minutes and said fuck this and quit.
One small pet peeve I have in video games is when the main character has details made canon about them in later games. Because it's always, always the exact same. The main character was absolutely a man who did all the good moral things :downs: like what annoys me about it is just, what's the point in offering choice in the first place, especially in an RPG, if you're just going to retroactively make it weird by telling me unless I roll that exact character then they didn't exist not even an obscure choice it's just like oh you played a girl haha fuck you

I had this issue and eventuelly got fed up by it, googled it and apparently I didn't have "Raw mouse" enabled in the options, and it has since been fixed. Was a real pain during prophunt
The legendary angry grandpa died. Fuck, there goes my night. This really hit me like a brick wall.
A centimetre of snow falls and half of the Netherlands is in chaos, everything is cancelled, trains don't ride anymore, buses are all late or not driving at all, some stores were closed for business and all my packages were delayed. What happened, the fucking apocalypse?

[QUOTE=Zombinie;52965172]really? I would have thought the netherlands would be pretty ok with snow[/QUOTE] Yeah after this I don't think the reaction isn't as severe but the first big snowfall happened today/yesterday and it seems the concept of snow was new to everyone for a second.
All three of my wii remotes had the batteries leak acid in them... how? Destroyed the contacts on every. single. one.
I bought a Switch from Gamestop last Saturday (last week, not two days ago) and there's no information on when it'll get here. I can only check my order on the Gamestop website and it just says that the order is confirmed. I don't expect it to get here lightning fast with Christmas coming up, but an ETA would be appreciated.
