Random Rants VII: Why do they ALWAYS do that?!

[Bigfoot3814]

Actually, I specified to get one made by Nintendo. I explained the meaning quite well.

I don't think your dad not being hip to what nintendo stuff is makes him a schmuck. You should have picked out a specific one ahead of time, or better yet gone to the store with him. Or ask for the money NICELY and go yourself.

If you want a job done right, you gotta do it yourself.

I keep getting those stupid "Congratulations, you have won a free <insert object of value here>" ads, it's getting really annoying.

 

[Abaddon]

Complete lack of protection from people openly insulting and trying to rile me.

 

[Metal Alloy Man]

All this LHC stuff is making me nervous.

It's called Firefox and Ad-Block Plus. Use it.

Wow, really? Great! You stink, Abbbadon, and NESing is a poor-quality substitute for Civ!



RANT: Why is sleep so nice? I want to try skipping a day's sleep... you know, just to see if I can... but sleep is just too nice to miss out on.

And I never notice myself falling asleep, too. If I luck out and die of natural causes, I won't even notice.

 

[Abaddon]

When I die I am going to haunt you Caathrsis

Oh, and I rant this will get dumped into the archives and so not count, and also that i don't have any sweets.

It's REALLY hard to skip an entire day's sleep. Last time I tried I fell asleep watching Star Trek at about 5pm. But then again it was an episode I'd already seen.

Judging by your famous zombie pictures... I ain't scared.

Other people do this?

Seems like it would require some sort of planning, which is hard enough without having to evade the attention of my family, who would just give me funny looks if I told them (and my mum would probably try feeding me soup with Nytol tablets in it).

Skipping a day's sleep is a worthy activity, but not one worth making a timetable for.

Somebody in my foods class group is like a perfectionist. He needs to follow the directions to the letter. If I feel like putting something in the microwave he yells at me, even though the instructions say to, because I'm supposed to wash the dishes. Even when the person who does the microwaving is talking across the room and won't be back for half an hour. And then when I went to put the caramel apples we were making in the fridge, he freaked out because the instructions said to freeze them. It's like two degrees different for gods sake and the freezer was already full. So we waited for like five minutes until a group finished freezing their apples to put ours in. I wanted to take them out early because they were cold already and it was almost time to leave but he wouldn't hear of it. No, we had to keep them in for another three minutes because he seems to think that would make a giant difference in the apples that were in there for five already. Plus, he thinks he's funny but he's not

It's not really that hard, you just have to be doing something important. Like writing a five page essay the day/morning it's due

And there's a never a mute button on 'em either.

It must be easy if you're a righteous partyin' d00d. I... am not one of those.

Basically, my attempt at staying awake consisted of pouring boiling water on myself, then reading university course literature until I got fed up and decided to take my chances in the coffin simulator.

 

[Abaddon]

Well come down to Brighton, i'll show you how its done

My Random Rant:

That old saying, "if your friend jumped off a bridge, would you do it too?" is bogus. First of all, if my friend was jumping off bridges and telling me how cool it was, he obviously survived the landing and he liked it so much that he's telling me about it. If he had died, why would I feel pressure to do it, he's not around to tell me about it? I guess the only thing you could make this statement true, is drugs. Obviously kids will think its cool the first time they do it, but not later. So I can see how it works for drugs and alcohol...but not jumping off a bridge.

Between you and salty's expiriences with food classes, I think I'm safe in saying I will never voluntarilly take one.

You know what?

I already asked my mom to add some chargers to her Watch List.

Do it yourself.

Books for university are bloody expensive. I've spent like $400 for just this semester. I can't afford this dammit I'm just a poor college student. I don't know what I'm going to do for next semester. I'm already on like federal aid and scholarship which is covering everything. And a work study as well. Life's a . .. .. .. .. .. Some people I see get to go to university on their daddy's money. Why the hell are the undeserving always rewarded? What the hell is with that? They can go to parties ever night of the week and get piss drunk, because oh their daddy's paying for it.

But nooooo I need to maintain a certain GPA or I lose my scholarship and then I won't be able to pay for this. And then those fools whine about ohhhh I need a new iphone, or some other crap. And most of them have cars.

There will be a recokoning dammit a reckoning. One day when I have the money and power there shall be VENGENCE! People should work for what they have, they shouldn't be handed it on a silver platter because their parents have money. The only solution is to take away all their money so they have no money. And then because their stupid idiots they'll all fail and become homeless street bums and male prostitutes because their stupid. Let only the meritorious survive!

Simple solution: Say "We don't care, it does not have to be perfect, screw you."

 

[Bigfoot3814]

Better solution: Don't take cooking class.
