Random Rants XLII: The Four-Part Plan

[aimeeandbeatles]

I tried. She won't let me. Instead she insists I just give her my money to let her screw up everything as she usually does. I don't really have a choice in the matter.

 

[JohannaK]

I'm just speechless.

Feel absolutely horrendous, haven't been able to sleep at all, and it's almost 7am. The only positive is that I have nothing planned for today.

Those were some epically long advice posts. It's nice to see people putting such time into helping others- it's really quite heartwarming.

Oh, right; a rant.

I'm kind of disappointed that through my forgetfulness, incompetence, intransigence and just being so bad at socialising (online and off) I've been on this forum for so long, but have never seemed to make anything of it. To have been here so long and still remain a stranger, it must seem like I don't care, but really I do.

Looking back it feels like a bit of a wasted opportunity- I mean to do something about it but have no idea what.

Survey textbooks suck.

So do college applications.

And so does memorizing lines for the play.

Laziness and academic pressures! Wah!

 

[Phrossack]

Got very little sleep, I couldn't get into my dorm due to a technical issue and spent an hour running back and forth testing key cards, and have a lot of difficult projects in meaningless and useless classes. Yippee.

My redneck neighbor is going apeshit again, hes threatening to beat up my neighbor, hurling insults at everybody and is holding a pitchfork, the cops came, how embarrassing. Its like im living in rural bible belt.

Even in Bosnia? Man, human stupidity just keeps on giving, doesn't it?

 

[Takhisis]

Damned Scots, they ruined Bosnia.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

I don't know how I managed this.

[JohannaK]

Ackghhh... my... eyessss :suicide:

 

[Takhisis]

Spaghettification.

As I understand, the redneck is pissed because me and my neighbor got some lawn soil and a truck passed near his house and supposedly touched his fence (the fence is a wooden/metal lump taken out from a junkyard) thats all too glorious and sacred. This isn't the first time, the property prices went down in the area because of him.

Damned Scots, they ruined Bosnia.

I wish they had, because I would at least have Bagpipes and Haggish....and Kilts, kilts are awesome.

Can you have too many giant LCD TV's you don't need?

But seriously, have you tried asking her to let you do the budgeting? Or help with it?

Surely you've read enough of aimee's rants by now to know that her mother can hardly be described by words like "intelligent" or "remotely sane."

Speaking of which, are aimee's rants predictable enough to be added to the list of predictable rants?

 

[JohannaK]

They're mostly about Gmod or her mother, so yes they are.

 

[Skwink]

My mother screwed up on the bills again. Instead of selling the giant LCD TV we don't need, or anything of hers (she has dozens of kitchen appliances I've never seen her use) ...

I returned my hard drive and got a refund to pay it.

Oh, and she's talking about getting another giant LCD TV we don't need.

Because I'm not allowed to have anything of my own. Only she is.

She better hurry or she'll miss Cyber Monday.

Given Garry Newman's tenancies to break things, It's a predictable rant . Just be glad Aimee is not on facepunch since there's ALWAYS a rant when Garry updates Gmod to "unintentionally" break something .

Those were some epically long advice posts. It's nice to see people putting such time into helping others- it's really quite heartwarming.

At least it's better than what I've gotten years ago when I was told to my face that I was a waste of human resources and should not even be alive. Damn trolls...

It gets especially frustrating when you go:
"Oh, this map looks good --"
Then you open it up and it turns out it requires a game you dont have.
"$#((@"

Something like every second map does that.

Even worse is when they dont even list the requirements and you launch it and suddenly errors and missing textures everywhere.

 

[choxorn]

Worse is when they list the requirements, but not all of them, so the map doesn't work and you have no idea why.

 

[Synobun]

Worse is when they list the requirements, but not all of them, so the map doesn't work and you have no idea why.

Even worse is when there are custom textures and they don't include them.

Then they release an update that adds those textures.

That update didn't have them either.

Rant: I need to start giving my girlfriend the "Taking Care of the Terminally Ill: Spouse Edition" collection I have laying around of assorted books that I got given over the past three years before we move in together in January.

Can't say I'm really excited.
