Random Rants XLIII: So Much Whinging Your Head May Explode

[Synobun]

I don't get this.

"I guess I'm okay." is not as impacting as "I'm a good person."

 

[Borachio]

In short, I've noticed that people are drawn to self-confidence and people that are sure of themselves. I've noticed on these boards that you're drawn to people who are sure of themselves and have a healthy self confidence to other posters like Synsensa and others.

I know that it's hard to develop a positive self esteem, but you're not the only one. I'm even in the process of getting my self-esteem back to healthy levels.

"I guess I'm okay." is not as impacting as "I'm a good person."

Whoa! There's nothing more off-putting than some arrogant w*nker telling everyone how great they are.

It is good, though, to have an air of quiet self-confidence.

@JoanK: practical example.
Cats are superior. Cats know they're superior. Cats show they're superior.
People like cats.

My sleep schedule is incredibly screwed. Also, I seem to have a mild cold and extremely dry lips.

I realized as I was about to turn in my history exam today that I had forgotten to double-check the multiple choice part. And I still had 10 minutes to do it too!

EDIT: Just crunched the numbers. I need at least a 54 to keep an A in that class, so I'm not too concerned.

RANT: I need at least an 88 in chem to keep an A. I'm worried

Nonsense. Cats are stupid creatures and clearly inferior to, say, me.

How dare you speak thus about our rightful overlords. Mr. Tinkles would like to have a word with you now.

 

[Takhisis]

If the cat's inferior and stupid, why is it you feeding it and cleaning it and not the other way round?

V, say hai to Mr Tinkles! He can haz cheezburger.

 

[JohannaK]

I don't clean or feed no cats. In any case, you are inferior to cats. and since I'm superior to cats, I'm superior to you too.

 

[Takhisis]

You live in Spain, hate mayonnaise, ketchup and mustard, and watch My Little Pony. Clearly our worldviews clash.

 

[JohannaK]

You live in Spain,

Only for two more years... two!

 

[Takhisis]

Even your insignificant rebellious coutnry's name begins with 'Cat'.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

OH CRAP

I didn't even know in Half-Life 2 that barnacles (things that are stuck to ceilings and have long tongues which grab you and try to eat you) could grab you out of the airboat. That was scary.

Also, this is the first chance I got to play it in over two weeks. First I got sick then I did system reinstallation. I'm rusty

The damn media. It's this type of thing that creates a false perception that we have an overtly litigious society and encourages right-wing charlatans to push for tort "reform" http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/...011.html?1355859618&ncid=edlinkusaolp00000009

If you were to read just the title as I confess I do sometimes myself you would come away with the impression that a customer had sued McDonald's for putting too many sprinkles on her mcflurry and won 5,000 Englishman dollars in damages. You would shake your head and say "People these days and their lawyers. Tsk, tsk."

When in reality if you read the article the woman in question was a McDonald's employee who was fired for putting too many sprinkles on a customer's cone, and that the 5,000 British bucks she won were for her wrongful termination.

Damn media.

 

[JohannaK]

It can be quite misleading indeed.

 

[The_J]

They're working with at least 2 chainsaws in front of my window right now .

 

[JohannaK]

Oh, that's terrible! Your ears must be suffering an unspeakable-of pain.

I've got to say it: cats are pretty stupid. Also very lazy. And known for torturing small animals. Even so, I admire them.

Dogs, on the other hand and generally speaking, are inferior. Know they're inferior. Show they're inferior.
People like dogs.

Even so, I admire dogs, also.

And goldfish

, budgerigars

, and hamsters

.

A bit exaggerated . It's some 10 meters away or so, so it could be worse.
But still gets on my nerves .

Churchill had the right idea: "Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals."

If I was to get any pet, it'd be a pig
