Random Rants LVII: wow. many anger. very whining.

That video is quite unrealistic. Especially in the northern portions, where it's so flat, that Flat Earthers use it as a proof that the Earth is not a globe. I also don't see anyone complaining about how hot it is, or the mocking glances of people with indoor cooling.

1) I will wear a kilt

lol do it anyway

*nods*

 

[gay_Aleks]

I like the smell of kilt in the morning. It smells like... victory.

Hm. That sounded infinitely better in my mind.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

I went to a nightclub. Horrible as expected.

 

[gay_Aleks]

Was that under the influence of a certain Cracked article posted today?

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

It was last night. Now I have something to read, I suppose...

Seriously ???

 

[Verarde]

I haven't felt this depressed, discouraged, and hopeless in several months. I'm a little scared, to be honest.

 

[Antilogic]

Do you know what's causing it?

First step to turning that feeling around is identifying the cause.

 

[Verarde]

Yeah, I know exactly what's causing it. Unfortunately, it's circumstances that I'm unable to change for the time being.

 

[Phrossack]

I was very much in the same situation recently, and kinda still am, but talking to friends all about it really helps.

I don't understand how anyone enjoys nightclubs or why they are so popular.

So much this.

 

[Snerk]

Do people still go to nightclubs? I though that wasn't a thing any more. Mebbe I'm just getting old..

 

[azzaman333]

None of the tracks I voted for for Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2014 made it into the top 100. I feel old now.

I don't understand how anyone enjoys nightclubs or why they are so popular.

As far as I can tell, clubbing is a pretty common thing for people 18-25, and only a few diehards/desperates are still doing it after that.

 

[JohannaK]

the question is more why is it even common for anybody.

 

[Hygro]

There are awesome nightclubs full of friendly people and fantastic music, with genuine, positive atmospheres. You have to know how to dodge the bad ones to find them.

It's a fun experience to go out drinking and dancing with friends.

 

[Farm Boy]

Also, mdma.

Not recommending, mind you.

 

[JohannaK]

I think I am yet to see someone dance in one of those places. Too busy trying to breathe, all jumping and shaking their arms in the air.

EDIT:
Actual rant: DAMN. I don't know if it's just the Catalan, Spanish or the European system that's exceedingly rigid or if it's just my university or faculty, but I just can't find equivalent Linguistics subjects to apply for this exchange which I really want. Why the Hell are HALF of my subjects mandatory and Linguistics-related? The Majors/Minors system seems much more organic and flexible.
