Random Rants LXVI: NO, **YOUR** THREAD TITLES SUCK!!

[choxorn]

Got my wisdom teeth taken out today, my mouth kinda hurts and I can't eat anything more solid than yogurt. Better get rid of them now then let them cause problems later, though.

 

[Snerk]

Do you feel any less wise, though?

 

[Hygro]

I know I did. Percocet

 

[Snerk]

I've always felt it was a silly decision by evolution to store wisdom in obsolete teeth.

At the time I had mine removed, I had my home typing business. I had just gotten home and gone upstairs to try to sleep the rest of the drugs off, when suddenly one of my regular clients showed up, without an appointment. Seems she wanted a resume and ten copies done, and wanted them NOW. My grandmother tried to explain that I'd just been to the dentist and needed to rest, but I figured... regular client (she brought me essays to type every 2 or 3 weeks), and the first time I said "no" to someone could be the last time I ever saw them, so I mumbled that I could get it done.

No tip, of course (not that I expected them from everyone, but in that case it would have been the courteous thing to do).

The Civ 4 AI's predilection for settling garbage cities is really starting to piss me off.

Download the K-Mod? I hear it helps with...well, everything. Also, regular reminder to shill for A New Dawn 2.

You should download it.

Like, right now.

 

[Mouthwash]

We already have C2C.

 

[gay_Aleks]

Yeah but I like mods that don't have 2384 issues with balance and which really doesn't vet what to add in and what not. I like the devs and all but Jesus Christ.

 

[Mouthwash]

Fair point. Also, hasn't Civ IV AI advanced at all since K-Mod was released? I can't imagine it's still being updated.

 

[gay_Aleks]

Actually, it might just be? The forum is still (relatively) active.

 

[Mouthwash]

It is. Updated October 2016.

 

[gay_Aleks]

Civ4 modding scene is really hard to kill. C2C will probably be updating by the time Civ7 rolls out.

Oxycodone is a hell of a drug, by which I mean it makes my brain feel muddy and I don't feel pain in my jaw because I don't feel anything at all.

Gravity is to the left!

NOW SUPAMAN THAT WHOOOOO

Got a call Tuesday night that my grandmother fainted, fell and broke her neck. Subsequent test shows she has pneumonia and an aggressive form of Leukemia. Shock set in and I felt nothing.

Woke up Wednesday morning and got dressed just in time to break down. Sobbed the whole way to work, then went home around 10 because I couldn't stop crying. I'm better today but the prognosis gets worse and worse. I can't afford to make two trips back to St Louis so I am working out with family if I should go before she dies (while she's semi-conscious at best most of the time) or for the funeral.

When I dropped out of high school, my parents kicked me out. This grandmother took me in and helped me grow into a man. She put me on the path that brought me here and now I'm not there for her. It hurts. She's like a second mom to me.

 

[Lexicus]

That is awful man. You have my condolences, for what they're worth.

 

[hobbsyoyo]

Thanks. This is all new to me. I have had other grandparents and great grandparents die but no one as close to me as this grandmother. I'm kind of figuring out how to process and cope as I go.

 

[warpus]

Sorry to hear that, my condolences
