Shit that gets you mad V. I'm getting mad just typing this

I'd never noticed before how hard Mothers Day gets shoved in everyone's faces. It's been over six months since I went no-contact with my parents and I've finally stopped thinking about them just in time for every retail store to be like "HAVE YOU CALLED YOUR MOMMY TODAY? REMEMBER HOW SPECIAL SHE IS!!! THIS IS HER DAY AND YOU OWE IT TO HER!!!"
Like no my parents forfeited all familial ties when they cornered and abused my sister into a suicide attempt. Fuck off.
When you're tired and fall asleep in the middle of the day and realize you've slept away all your time.
Christ, where to start really.
This year I'll be finishing my college, next year starting at the university where my brother lasted for a year but had to drop out because he couldn't get proper support that he needed. (we both have autism which makes some points in life harder than it should be, long story on its own already.)
But fucking hell, there's so much to focus on. Right now I'm at my internship chugging away on finishing my finals, where I have to set up a testing environment, make a shitload of documentation and finally conclude with a presentation about that. All that will dictate if I'll pass. I've been so busy with that that I haven't taken the time to mentally prepare myself for the uni, and the fact that I need a Saturday and / or evening job so I can make at least 250 a month to break even with my current finances. It's all too much to take in at the moment as I'm mentally already 'full' during the week, and both the uni and a new job are a really tough nut as I'm still anxious about diving into the abyss of something new and unknown. I've worked in a bike shop for 3 years, which finally filed for bankruptcy back in November when I was stoned in a motel room in LA, and I found that out through a fucking Facebook post that my boss posted about doing a liquidation sale.
The thing is every time I check part time job offers it's nothing but retail chains where you have to restock shelves, worth adding I most likely won't even get accepted there because I'd be too expensive as I'm 20. I'd much rather work a part time job in IT which is the field I'll be taking, or hell work at a automotive shop as I started wrenching on my car which I really enjoy doing despite the necessary swearing left and right. Doing both will be hard as I have no connections where I could pull some strings, which is something that a classmate of mine does.
People who run a little bit of water over their hands and act like they've washed their hands.
Fuck off you disgusting slob it takes no time to actually wash your hands.
Been Cooking ravioli on my skids engine for 4 hours and still coldish
Me: Hey, that was a fucking awesome thing I just did while playing. Good thing Shadowplay is clearly activated as indicated by the icon in the corner of my screen.

Someone who at one point was on a discord server me and my brother were both also on just messaged me a video remix of the mosque shooter remixed with DOOM music, just for shits and giggles. Thankfully I knew what it was immediately and hit pause before the video got to any of the carnage. But nonetheless, this person can go fuck himself.

I dunno if this makes me angry or if I find it grimly hilarious. Probably both.
But don't you want to fund the NHS instead?
I'm losing hope that I'll ever figure out what the fuck is wrong with my computer and why it can't run ANY GAME PROPERLY
Like what the fuck is this curse, why is even Half-Life unable to run at a smooth 60 fps? Why do I get constant stutters no matter what game I'm playing, no matter what programs I have open.
You on Windows right?
I would suggest you go for Window's own formatting tool, which will completely reset and wipe out your system.
I did this once, and it was a huge relief. My computer was performing fine, but I also did it in order to remove the old user name (my brother's) and to start anew. Worked out great!
Ofc you want to save any stuff on google drive before you do this, and if I remember correctly, the tool let's you do a half-format which doesn't delete everything. Check it out brrrah!
I'm personally a super OCD nerd and I would go nuts if my PC didn't perform the way I expect it to.
Maybe some day when I have time to kill but I'm not particularly fond of having to find the installers for every program I need and reinstalling everything once I'm done.
Computers shouldn't be this complicated.
This app makes the process a lot simpler / faster:

this seems like reverse psychology
Really great that I go to my new Psychologist's office to fill out a 500 question long form to help diagnose my mental issues and they're fucking closed.
????????????????
They said I could come in any day of the work week 9 to 5 and do it but it was 1:30 PM and the door was locked and nobody answered the phone.
Gee, thanks.
Re installing Win10 in a completely offline environment only to have it spends upwards of 45 minutes total "checking for updates"
PLEASE JUST GET THE FUCK ON WITH IT
If you're the kind of person who gets a foam cup over your plastic ice coffee cup and throws it on the ground when you're done with it I hope you choke on a hornet and explode
actually fuck this, hello win7, I'm coming back my dear old friend
too bad it's going out of support soon
Speaking of internet connection, I subscribed for a fiber connection at exactly the same ISP the previous tenant got fiber from, and yet apparently activating my line still requires the intervention of a technician before it's activated. For... Reasons?
Fair enough, the technician comes by this morning, had no batteries for his laser emitter so I had to loan him my remote's (seriously?), then he checks the layout he was given, tells me we need to go to the basement to make the proper connexions (what connexions? The previous tenant had the exact same line and ISP...), he follows the fiber line and stops short of a door... Which is locked and I don't have a key for. Not to mention it's the heat pump room, access to which is explicitly forbidden.
Of course, the building has no concierge, so I have to contact the agency so that they can contact the syndicate so that we can make an appointment with the ISP technician, just so that he can have access to that room and do god-knows-what-needs-to-be-done even though there's no physical reason to intervene.
Meanwhile, I have to rely on my phone's 4G and use it as a hotspot, and I'm running out of data fast. All I want is some reliable way to play online with my brother, for fuck's sake.
It's basically just gonna be an over sized media center so that's no issue
DON'T CHEER, SHOUT, OR CLAP IN A CINEMA WHEN THE FILM IS ON. I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE ENJOYING THE FILM
I have a personal version of this on a flash drive that I lost the source to and it's one of my best and most useful creations. It let me set up a laptop in 15 minutes instead of having to find all my installers.
Yeah you need to reserve at least half a day to get all the configuring sorted out
The other poster right below seems to have some other way to speed up the process
I didn't know that was a thing... I've always thought that people were more annoyed than not with that sort of thing.
Maybe you can leave your computer on during the night in the meantime? The fans would make some noise and it would double as somewhat of a heater as well.
Posts that didn't 100% age well.
I have to have some ambient rain and thunder audio playing on a loop if I want to get to sleep. It really helps to relax me. Dunno how people can say they can't stand it.
Indeed it has not
