This is something that makes me feel less mad and more embarrassed about, but there was a period of time (probably half a year or so) where I thought the term "heteronormativity" felt somewhat cringeworthy even though the actual definition for it (basically meaning it's a belief in gender roles and that heterosexuality is the default sexuality) and the implication that it wasn't good turned out to be relatively reasonable.
I think the only reason I ever thought it was cringeworthy was because I saw it mentioned on some reblogged thing on Tumblr, and I've noticed that I've been having trouble differentiating the reasonable/somewhat understandable reblogs from the absolutely pants-on-head retarded reblogs when it comes to stuff on Tumblr, for whatever fucking reason.
I'm having more and more trouble getting along with a friend of mine lately. We've been friends for like 10 years now and we're ending up with more and more issues because he's gotten more self-absorbed over the years.
For one, he doesn't want to talk about anything but himself. Any time I start talking to him about anything else, even if it's still an interest of his, he doesn't engage me in the conversation at all. He just relies "ah", "i see", or "hm" repeatedly and never adds to the conversation. He'll even change the subject to himself in the middle of what he's doing.
For two, he's gotten increasingly unwilling to do anything that would facilitate us being able to do stuff together easily. For example, our friend group recently picked up the new Smash bros, which we all enjoy. He picked it up for himself as well. However, he absolutely refuses to get the online service, even when we've offered to share it with him or to just buy it for him. He's not boycotting it, he just "hasn't decided if he wants to get it yet". Like, he's belaboring the fuck out of a $3 decision, and we're getting the feeling that he's doing it intentionally to string us along. He does the same thing when we want to start playing a game on Steam together, waffling over the decision to install the game for literally forever. Whenever we finally get fed up with waiting and decide to just go play without him, that's usually the moment at which he suddenly makes his decision to come join. It's like he just wants us to notice how insurmountably important his individual decisions are.
For three, he's been doing this thing where he sets up another obligation on the same date and time we've agreed to do something together. So we'll make plans to hang out in person, which involves an hour drive on my part, and play video games for a day. We'll make these plans like 2-3 weeks in advance. Then he shows up and like an hour in is like "By the way I agreed to run the camera for the church service today so I'm going to be leaving in about half an hour." This also overlaps with number two, where we'll have plans and he'll contact me after we make them to be like "Yeah I haven't decided if I want to come hang out with you or if I want to do this other thing. I could easily blow off the other thing especially because I don't want to do it and it wouldn't be a big deal at all but maaaaaan I just can't decide if I'd rather do this thing I hate or come do fun stuff with you."
For four, he's always had a tendency to try to be in control of deciding what we're all doing, but recently it's gotten a lot worse especially as a result of numbers two and three. See, if he makes it seem like it's a big decision to come hang out with us, and has another obligation that's going to cut our time short, then of course he should be able to choose what we're doing for the short important time that we have together, right? He did this last time we all went to a thrill park, where he literally bitched non-stop because he just wanted to ride go-karts the entire time we were there. Go-karts are fun but they get tiresome when there's only two tracks and there's no power-steering and it's 90F outside. We got bored and wanted to play laser tag or go bowling or play mini-golf or literally any of the other 20 activities they had there, especially in the air conditioning, but he made a huge point of begrudgingly accompanying us to anything that wasn't go-karts, and deliberately ruining the experience or trying as hard as he could to just get it over with as quickly as possible while constantly complaining that we weren't doing enough go-karts.
Finally he's just gotten way more obnoxious. He thinks it's funny to do things that inconvenience or hurt other people. I refuse to give him advice or suggestions anymore because he would deliberately wait until I'd finished to then completely disregard everything I said and go with the opposite option. He also refuses to take any unsolicited advice, regardless of whether it's something that would fix a situation that he's actively complaining about. So for example, he'll whine about he pop-ups that occur when you try to do something that needs elevated permissions to run on Windows but he won't take the suggestion of turning them off. He also just.... fucks with people to try to make them feel bad about doing or not doing something sometimes, but it doesn't really make any sense? Like, I really enjoy Final Fantasy 14 and we used to play together all the time. He stopped playing for some reason a while ago, and while I didn't pressure him to come back I didn't make it a secret that I missed playing together. Anyway there was a free login campaign this last month that he decided to take advantage of, but without mentioning a word to me until he had basically blown all of his allotted time. I confronted him on this, and he just got really snarky about how he "guesses I could take this as a lesson in regularly checking my friends list". He thought it was funny to do that to me.
I oftentimes find myself wondering why I want to be friends with him so bad. He annoys the shit out of me, he mistreats me, he only really seems to care about himself most of the time but I really don't want to give up what we have over that. I don't really see him changing his behaviors either though, even if I bring this stuff up to him he tends to either not take what I have to say seriously or he implodes on himself emotionally.
I hate it when server admins who barely even did anything for god knows how long suddenly come back and act like hot shit infront of other members of the staff.
Excuse me Mr. Gone-Since-June-3rd, but I don't think you are one to talk about discipline and contributions when you have been gone for several months.
Had that happen once but with a Gmod build community owner. Essentially gave control to the oldest super admin, even letting him run our sandbox server in his own home, then disappeared for 3 years.
We knew he was alive, but he just didn't want to bother with video games hardly anymore.
Suddenly he comes back wanting everything back in his control again, close down all game servers, and turn the community into a fucking World of Warcraft guild.
We all told him to go fuck himself, let him have the community name (begrudgingly), changed the Steam group name and server names, and booted him out of everything we had direct control over.
He didn't even do anything with the community name. Made a forum for it and then immediately let it rot. Before the domain went unused because he quit paying, it was only full of spambots posting. Didn't even make that WoW guild.
Then he simply dropped off the face of the Earth again.
When you get a rent bill that says you need to pay for the period of Janurary in December 31st instead of Janurary 31st like usual. Now I got 330 bucks for a month. Fuck Christmas
Fucking Sprint keeps doing that shit to me, too.
>neglects to send an email for my bill
>sends an email once that bill is over-due and I owe for two months, plus late-fees
>it's all the same fucking mail server so I know it's not being sent to Spam if I keep getting the late fee in my inbox
Found my old Facebook account I haven't used for over 10 years. Everything's public, images, contact information and all my posts. Cringy underage me all open to anyone to see. I've spent 4 hours getting hold of 6 e-mails from Microsoft just to find the right one, because the account is connected to an old phone number I don't have. In the end I had to send them a picture of my driver's license to confirm my identity, and in 24-hours I hope it'll be enough for me to gain access and delete that shitty profile. I know Facebook keeps the data, but at least others can't look me up.
Just realized that all my friends i made in school are in a different Discord server, but they all pretend there isn't another server, like i keep seeing some of them changing icons all the time.
And i just saw that 3 of those friends removed me from their friends at the same time.
I'm just blown away that the person that told i was their best friend of their life and said they regretted being an asshole to me blocked me.
I would ask/confront the people in the friend group who haven't yet removed/blocked you about why they're lying about excluding you from the group.
Ultimately, though, seeing as they're secretly ostracizing you behind your back without even giving any kind of explanation or hint as to why they are, that probably means they weren't very good friends to begin with.
Those "weird part of youtube videos" that are really boring and forced. Some people pull off the weird stuff naturally. Others just try to copy it and it really doesn't work for them.
So I've finally managed to access one Facebook account, the worst one. Installed a Facebook Cleaner and deleted 2,655 posts since 2008 (including all tags, likes, follows, friends, etc). Took the software around six hours to remove it all. Now I've activated account deletion and it'll be removed in 30 days.
Now I just need access to my other Facebook account, but it's not that bad, so I'll fix it another day.
People who know like 2 phrases in another language and think that qualifies as "knowing that language =)".
Turnout my best friend didn't blocked me themself, someone did used his account to block me.
And just to know that, it made me feel better, i expected something so bad to happen, but thing only got better.
Having to return Christmas gifts because they were broken in ways that aren't immediately obvious gets me mad.
I got a refurbished Samsung Gear S2, an older model because I really didn't need anything newer or more fancy, and the accelerometer is fucking broken, so the wake gesture doesn't work at all. You know, one of the main things that makes it convenient.
Thankfully the return policy is good, and it should be fast, but Christ, what happened to quality assurance??
My bipolar friend (well stretching that word a bit) is going off on everyone tonight for whatever fucking reason. He's an alright guy when he's not mad but when he gets mad it's all insults and sometimes empty threats gets really frustrating sometimes.
at this point im ready to get a job/my classes so i can resign myself to work and something productive with my time instead of trying to make connections with people over discord. im nothing more than a fucking shitpost specter.
trying to get any decent discussion going in facebook
pencil erasers that just smear lead
My disc got stuck in my PS4 and I've tried everything to get it out.
This wouldn't have happened if Sony just made their console like a sensible fucking person instead of making everything "SLEEK" and "MODERN" and "SHITTY".
"THE DISC TRAY IS INSIDE AND IT DOES IT ALL AUTOMATICALLY ISN'T IT SLEEK AND ALSO VERY SO INCREDIBLY EASY TO GET YOUR DISC STUCK THAN IF YOU WERE TO JUST HAVE A REGULAR TRAY LIKE THE PS1 OR PS2??"
"ALSO WE MADE SURE NOT TO USE A SINGLE PHILIPS OR FLATHEAD SCREW ON OR INSIDE THE ENTIRE PS4 BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT YOU TO THINK YOU CAN JUST SELF SERVICE IT NO YOU HAVE TO SEND IT TO US SO WE CAN FIX IT IN TWO WEEKS WHAT YOU SHOULD'VE BEEN ABLE TO FIX IN JUST A COUPLE OF HOURS "
thank you the future i hate it
Sites that refuse to open links in the same tab. Facepunch on mobile is one of these.
I've been on vacation for almost a week now and I've spent most of it depressed as fuck.
I wish I could get over myself long enough to take care of the shit that's bothering me, but I have no focus. I start trying to take care of things and my mind just gets stuck on an endless loop of "Hey remember this thing that pissed you off? Remember this obnoxious argument? Time to relive it in excruciating detail again and again!"
Through therapy I've gotten better at controlling the emotional side of my reactions to intrusive thoughts like this, so they don't upset me as much as they used to, but it's not really possible to stop them outright. My therapist even said that trying to force them to stop will just make them happen more and will frustrate me. So instead what I'm supposed to do is try to maintain self-awareness so that when the thoughts crop up I can simply acknowledge them and then move on before they develop into an emotional reaction. What that means in practice sometimes, though, is that I'll have to focus 100% of my concentration on monitoring my own thoughts, checking the intrusive ones, and attempting to move on. Even though I'm not running into the tough emotions I usually do, it's still mentally paralyzing and I can't even relax properly.
Without work to distract me I just have too much time to think.
Having a parent with extreme "know-it-all" syndrome.
Having the other parent having poor vocal volume control, thinking that the volume of your voice dictates how right you are in argument.
The government sent me to a website that doesn't actually handle government stuff, and it's insecure so anyone trying to log in is probably broadcasting personal data.
The actual website i needed doesn't work in Firefox, requiring a special certificate that only works in Chrome.
And my printer is crap and wouldn't print the damn page, kept complaining about an incorrectly placed ink cartridge and kept failing to grab a page to print on.
I can't believe any printer manufacturer could be proud of the crap they put out there.
"How do we make this mission harder?"
"Add a timer!"
"What's the reason for the timer..?"
"None!"
"Implemented!!!"

I really hate this attitude of "if you follow this person on [social media] then unfollow me, i will block you!" Just because you follow someone it doesn't mean you support them.
Today is only the 28th of December and I can already hear a neighbour’s dog, which I have never heard before, locked outside and whimpering. It’s been like that for a few hours.
Cat and dog sellers really ought to be outlawed, and adoption places should not allow adoptions at all during the week before and after Christmas. Cats and dogs should never be considered as presents.
Related to it, people with the face glued to the screen to live the life of others before your own. "I see now you follow someone I don't like/you stopped following me. That is the worst thing you can do."
Some news channels here are plagued with those and stop following an user is treated like if it were some sort of death sentence. Is impossible for me to feel respect for full grown people with its ego depending of constant external approbation.
Those are the same people that dump every aspect of their lifes on Instagram and Facebook and then complain about not having privacy.
