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

I'm not sure what you meant exactly by "gifted kids culture" but I wouldn't call being "gifted" a sickness. Yes, it's really not a straight upgrade, contrary to what most people think, but it simply means that you have to adapt and work with the associated flaws. I was diagnosed when I was 6, after taking an IQ test. A family friend advised my parents to do it because I didn't really like going to school and they wanted me to feel better. I had the chance of having parents who wanted to understand what it actually means, because they wanted the best for me, rather than just parade me around as some sort of "smart" trophy. So they knew that it had drawbacks as well - increased emotional sensitivity, more connectivity to older kids, propensity to depression when not properly stimulated - and how to accommodate for them. Of course I still didn't grow up perfect, I was still pretty shy and reserved as a teenager, though I don't know whether that's really related. But being brought up by parents who had a good idea of how I function and being aware of it myself helped a lot, and still help me improve and address my flaws to this day. And I think it's helped me take advantages of my strengths as well. If you've been diagnosed yourself, I encourage you to apply for Mensa. If you've been tested before you shouldn't even need to take an exam, I was accepted automatically. I had no idea how good I had it before I went to meetups and saw middle-aged persons break into tears because they spent their whole life thinking there was something deeply wrong with them and only just realized that they're not alone at all and there's plenty of people who function the same way as they do. I believe meeting like-minded people with the same interests and struggles can really help, especially if you feel isolated or depressed.

They made search "endless" scrolling on mobile. God, I love not being able to keep track of where I was and having to click "show more" 500 times only for it to usually crash to get back where I was.

Y'know I really wish I could retain/easily learn information that would be useful in improving my life in meaningful ways instead of the garbage i've already got in there. I swear, my brain just goes like, "yeah who fuckin cares about math beyond the simple stuff get that nerd shit outta here. Keep that fuckin zoobooks commercial in there tho, never know when we'll need to recite that perfectly from memory."

iirc yes they were found to be using data they collect for this as an experiment once.

I don't know why its easy for inflamation to stick in my mouth area. Yesterday,i got one at exact place between my lower and upper jaw. Thanks to that,opening mouth and speaking is very hard,eating is painful,swallowing is annoying af I can't even fucking sleep because my throat suffers since the inflamation affects the throat as well. Not to mention i have to endure prolonged taunt from my brother and grandpa I really hope i don't have to swing my fists right now

Time to vent When you're about to open your door and go out, or step into the elevator, or go get the mail. But then you see your wonderful and friendly neighbour in the halway so you stay inside untill they're gone because of social anxiety and paranoia. When you're so afraid that you haven't looked at someone's face for over a year and you forget what people look like, such as friends and families. When you know you're going to have to start working in a few months even though last time almost killed you, and you know it will happen again, again and again, untill it happens but you still have to. When you have a strong sensation of instinct that you don't have along time to live, and you don't know why so everything causes a panic. When you have a strong phobia for bacteria so you don't clean your apartment because you can't touch dirty stuff, and then you live in the filth so it gets worse. When you want to meet your family or friends but you can't even spend birthdays or christmas with anyone because 8 minutes and 22 seconds in a tiny food store will burn you out. When you daydream so much you sometimes wonder if it happened or not, but then you realize you walked through the entire city without remembering it, and you get scared or angry, or sad over people by things that never happened. When you get headaches everyday just by coughing, sneezing, or even laughing. When you don't have the strength to cook or even order food so you don't eat for up to four days, and if you're lucky you got vitamine pills and protein snacks. When it takes 4-8 hours a day too fall asleep, so you wonder what will happen when you're going to start working again. When you love dogs more than anything else, including yourself and your family, but then you forget you got a phobia for bacteria, so no petting. When you suffer from OCD and randomely discover a smell that turns on your panic mode because you think you're going to die from poisionous gas. When you realize nobody wants you, and that even your parents wished they gave birth to a functional child, even though they can't admit it. When you drop the ham or the buttered sandwich on the floor so it sticks. When you realize your life is a wonderful miracle because others got it worse, so you hate yourself for being weak and pathetic. When you've ordered food and your card doesn't work when the food's ready, so you're faith is unclear. Always bring cash, and pay in advance. When you meet an old friend after years from seeing each other, and the person is an entirely different person, so you're nothing but strangers. When you're too afraid to go to therapy because you know the theraputic methods are terrifying, and if you don't go to therapy you won't get economical support so you can live. When each day you think back on all the things you've done wrong, over and over, so many times you're not sure of how much scenarios you've been thinking about, and it hurts you so you either scream or punch youself in the face. When your hands are so cold you can't play video games good. When someone insults and scream at you for something that was their own fault, or better yet; you're not even part of what happened because you just arrived at the scene. When someone get stabbed multiple times and her throat is bleeding and you know the ambulance won't get there in time, but you do everything you can to stop the bleeding because she's scared and keeps crying. When a gang beats you up so you break some ribs, so you hide it for months because if you talk, they'll beat you again, and if you call the police, they might arrest only one of them so they beat you anyway. When your grades fail throughout the entire time in school because you're too afraid to go to school. When you have to put down your own animals with whatever tool you have at that moment. When you realize over 800 billion people have lived, and you're not special, you're just a robotic figure in an endless background that nobody notices until it's too late, and afterwards forgotten. When everything society has built and gone through will one day perish, and it makes you question everything. When something amazingly wonderful gets discovered that can help save the world, and then there's always someone that will abuse it to destroy everything for their own special interrests. When your mother got breast cancer, but with a miracle survived and in the end due to chemo therapy her whole body is destroyed for her whole life. When you buy a 65 inch TV for an enormous price tag and set it all up, and three days later it's a 30% sale. When around 150,000,000 animals gets slaughtered everyday, and not by the local farmer. When your Tourette's Syndrome makes you constantly die in video games. When 1.85 people die each second. When some dies of cancer after a doctor says the person got 1.3% chance to die, and then it turns out to be a child. When a close family member gets hurt and needs to go through a medical surgery that will change their lives forever. When you haven't met your grandmother in 12 years, so you visited her and she's so demented she doesn't know anyone, and her ex-husband's a violent alcoholic that tried to throw a child out the window, and starved his wife for a week so you beated the shit out of him. When you type a long comment so people won't read it, but in the end it doesn't matter, because in the end you're not important. When you're going to die in 40-50 years and dying in your sleep or with the family you won't have has less chance than dying from slow painful ways. When the products you buy are built to malfunction due to product obsolescence, and that corporations got entire technical teams that specifically works on reducing it's lifespan. When someone designs something, and then you know they've done a terrible job because even you who doesn't work with such things has more common sense in visual apperance and practicallity. When small food stores costs more and has shorter expiration dates. When people tell you to work hard, get in a relationship, get kids, buy a car, dress properly, don't swear near adults, and you just want them to shut the fuck up and let you be the individual yourself want to be; I DO NOT EXIST FOR YOUR PLEASURE AND DESIRES.

Article 17 passing.

What the actual FUCK is wrong with some people? Same fucker that openly called for genocide turns around and says furries are the "problem". Fuck right off. This isn't the god damn stoneage where you get to kill people because a book said they're icky. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/109710/34e0d28c-25c7-46be-95fb-2b68aa299544/fuckoff.png

Uhhhhhh, mind explaining this one?

it's like you never lived in the ghetto yo

Late high school, several neurological issues that made me have abnormal behaviour that was "odd", which made me a good target for bullying. Stood up for myself and got punished for it by death threats and at the end abused physically. By some weird reason they didn't hit my head thankfully, but they liked kicking. It was a school for those that didn't managed to get an obligatory grade (my case math), so the place had like 90% of kids with many types of issues, and these guys were pretty much just bad people that tend to criminal activities. They were known for having sent another kid to hospital. I didn't report it because I was afraid that I would get accidentally killed or beaten worse, so my head rushed with thoughts for a whole year that they would beat me again if I actually did something to defend myself, so in the end I just accepted it and let it go and hoped they wouldn't do something in the future. Two ribs broken, both on the right side and one of them probably broke near the spine because I could feel that one the most. The ribs didn't penetrate my lungs when I breathed so I just endured it. 8 years and I still haven't seen them. Honestly the worse part isn't getting beaten, it's feeling hopelessness that you don't own your body because there's no such thing as control in a situation like that, and the aftermath of extreme paranoia and anxiety. The first kicks are always the worst because you're not used to knowing the pain, and later your breath is unbalanced because they keep hitting you so you can't have a rest, so you just curl up and hope they stop. I still fantasize about killing them in many ways for what they did, and that I still live in the same city I'm still scared that I might see them on the street. Not long ago I started mentioning this to my psychologist when he asked me about traumatic experiences because of the symptoms I show. I know I'm not supposed to generalize people, but they we're immigrants, but the entire school had a majority of immigrants or children from immigrated parents.

Holy shit I could not live with that I'd be making their heads fucking roll for that shit.

So tesla decided to install a charge station across the street from where I work. All good. Then some of our shoppers from out store got the idea that they can park there and shop while their cars charge. Now we get like 8 carts left in the parking lot across the street every day.

JFK, Abe Lincoln and William Henry Harrison Sr. all swore they would serve full presidential terms and they didn't.

I really do not get USPS anymore. How does a parcel that was shipped high priority EMS finally clear customs after a few days, but depart from one of your biggest hubs and be "in transit" to the next destination, which is legit only a 2 1/2 hour drive from this hub, for well over 24 hours and not even have a estimated delivery date? USPS has never been on time here, ever. It's always at least a day, two, or sometimes worse 3 late.

"No one here remotely likes the USSR" proceeds to spout holodomor denial, ethnic cleansing apologia and defends stalin's policies as necessary "I'm not pro maduro" defends maduro's policies and blames the current situation entirely on the US, parroting maduro-government propaganda I hate tankies tbh

This is less mad, and more of an annoyance: Near my workplace, there is a road behind the main street with 45-degree angle parking, and you used to be able to park there all day. This week however, they installed signs stating they would now be enforcing a 2 hour max parking limit. Hardly ideal when I work 10 hour days. As a result, I (and about two dozen other workers in the area) now have to find alternate parking. Where is the only alternative parking in the area? Out the front of people’s houses, of course. And that 2 hour limited car parking area? I haven’t seen it fully parked. It doesn’t get me mad, because I already want to move closer to work so that I can instead ride a bike to work every day. But this council seems hell-bent on making it as miserable as possible for drivers to access the city, because they have also converted car parks elsewhere into zoning for buildings, and installed a light rail system which necessitated removing hundreds of parallel parking spots.

Fuck my dental health, i keep losing pieces of my teeth at a slow but steady pace no how good i take care of my teeth. I could be brushing teeth as slow and careful i can and still a small piece may just fall off. My dentist has even asked at one point if i have been chewing rocks, though i think he did ask that as a joke but i still felt bad because of it.

I swear I'm slowly losing the ability to find women attractive.

So I called the distribution center and they can't track it there and I won't know where it is until it hits a local post office scan. This is beyond fucking pathetic because not only is it an insult for something a fee hours away to take multiple days to bounce all over my state, they seller paid well past 100 for EXPRESS international. Meanwhile a package for a friend sent 2 days ago from a hub many more states away will arrive today. WHAT THE FUCK.

The gay agenda proceeds according to plan.

When you're stressed and anxious so you buy everything in the store in a hurry, so the next day you need to take a shit you realize you didn't buy any toilet paper. So you run in panic as fast as you can down to the store and buy some. The other thing is that you run and walk as if you need to take a shit and at the same time only buy toilet paper so everyone knows what's going on. Then you get to the apartment building and press the elevator button, but it never arrives so you decide to take the stairs and each step feels like you're about to burst a diarrhea explosion so when you're in the bathroom you try to sit down so fast that you even start to shit before you even put your ass on the seat. Mission accomplished.

Sounds like a happy ending to me! Was a thrill to read though.

I'm going to be intensely real and blunt here. Not really sure how to feel about the fact that the only things keeping me from killing myself, is the immense fear of death and an equally big fear of missing out on shit because I'm dead. I really have no way of knowing how long that's going to keep me from it, when everything negative begins to outweigh those fears and it's not enough to hold on anymore. I just feel like a ticking time bomb with absolutely no indication of when I'm going to go off, nor do I know if it'll be a slow descent, or a sudden snap. It's really hard to make things for myself to live for, when whenever I try, I just get burnt out on those things quickly and simply don't want anything to do with them anymore. Art, games, going out, spending time with friends/family, spending time with my SO, you name it, it's all diminishing returns. Their positive effects have numbed. They do nothing except to bring me down even further now. It's hurting and destroying everything because it's making me push everyone I know away for a myriad of reasons, only few of which aren't just birthed from irrational self-loathing or anxiety. And, again, due to the American healthcare system, I still can't afford to get diagnosed with anything or really get set on a medical path to recovery (because self-help sure as fuck hasn't worked so far) before something inevitably goes wrong. I know there's a lot wrong in my head. I'm just literally too poor to do anything about it.

The other day I got a call at around 11am, about 3 hours after I went to sleep to be greeted by the following "conversation" Girl - Umm, you just tried to call me? Me half asleep - Um, no? Her - Yea Me - No? Her in the most stereotypical teenage girl tone - Um yeaaaaa At which point I just hung up, both annoyed and confused at this random (presumably teenage) girl calling me and waking me up and then just acting like a bitch.

If I had to hazard a guess that would be why she called, it was just the way she responded that irked me.

That happened to me in my case. Some woman called me up all pissed of and all I could tell her is I get these same calls from my area code. How the fuck is this bullshit not fixed by now?

Why do robocalls only occur in the US? Apparently they're very easy to set up so I find it weird that I never received one. The closest thing I receive is advertisement from people with a foreign accent, but at least these have the courtesy of putting a real person on the other end of the phone.
