RANDOM RANTS XLVI: Slightly More Than a Month-ly Edition #1

[ace99]

That's what you get for living in Georgia.

 

[PlutonianEmpire]

You have difficulty trying to attract women because you spend all day on the internet complaining about how much you hate them, or wishing you could go bang blue-skinned space babes.

I know.

Truth hurts, but I have no choice but to live with it. :suicide:

 

[choxorn]

You can't just try to stop doing that?

 

[PlutonianEmpire]

You can't just try to stop doing that?

I can, but I usually wind up starting again. Kinda like dieting; works for a while, then crashes and burns.

I'd say more, but it'll just be my regurgitated crap from before (not regarding women, just emo about my life situation that I've sent in PM's here and there), so I'll just stop this topic here.

Rant: What should have taken me just 5 minutes took an hour and a half and five reboots to do. The task?

Stupid phone.

 

[Zelig]

that is the ugliest 64 fl oz mug i've ever seen. It lacks a handle, and doesn't even have nascar mentioned on it.

Here is one of my 64oz mugs, with a usb flash drive for size comparison. Just took that pic moments ago for this thread.

Spoiler :

1.9 l, fyi

 

[Borachio]

4 pints is a lot of liquid.

I personally like one of these:

At a measly 2.5 pints it doesn't compare. On the other hand, once you've started drinking it you cannot stop without drenching yourself. Which is the idea.

 

[Arakhor]

Double-post!

 

[Arakhor]

I am still gobsmacked about how half a gallon of fluid isn't seen as a outrageously ridiculous amount of drink to have at once.

I only attract guys from over the Internet, but not the one I have a crush on. Don't complain. Which reminds me, yeah, he just told me I have no chances with him.

You told him you were crushing on him? In my experience, that doesn't tend to work out well.

 

[JohannaK]

No, I didn't. I was on this 50-people convo on Skype and ranting about not having a partner because somebody else was complaining about their partner not doing what they wanted to, and then he said something along the lines of "I'd be your partner but you're not a person with whom I'd share the rest of my life. Besides, I'm with that other guy already".

Actually, his wording is somehow strange. But to assume the worst implications will be the best for everyone in this case. Methinks.

What people say in public is frequently very different to what they mean or what they'd say if they were in private. Besides, who can honestly say whether they will be with someone for the rest of their life? They might intend it, but people change and often not for the best.

 

[JohannaK]

I know. I will patiently await. But somehow this has been like a "Move on" signal. So that's what I intend to do. Besides, he's quite frank in public. He did not doubt to say in that very same Skype convo to his current boyfriend, who was by then with another boy, that if he were his boyfriend he'd ask him to rape him. Not very subtle.

 

[Arakhor]

Well, do, by all means, but people still act very differently in crowds than when alone. I'm far more mean to my friends than I am at any other time, whereas men boasting about their virility is a millennia-old pastime.

 

[JohannaK]

Yes. Being mean to friends is my specialty. I lost one because of that. (Or so he says, I find hard to believe that he'd suddenly pass on to really hate me on that basis.)

 

[Arakhor]

Well, unless you insulted his mother or exploited a known 'no-go' area, I find that hard to agree as well.

 

[JohannaK]

Well, he's kind of an amateur writer, he sent me a copy of what he's done so far (a very heavily LotR-influenced fantasy) and I did not read more than a couple of chapters, but I didn't think that his project was so so so important to grant such a treatment.

 

[Arakhor]

That might have been a more touchy subject than you realised. Then again, if he's still holding it against you, it sounds like it's just as much his fault as it may have been yours.

 

[JohannaK]

It was curious. About a year ago I noticed that he had not spoken to me for a week. So I just asked him why and he said that I was no friend and really mean and that he hated me. And about a month ago I sent him a facebook solicitude which was ignored completely. Although I haven't seen him in about 9 months. So he probably still does.

 

[Camikaze]

There was a group presentation in one of my classes today about eligibility for admission. Multiple speakers pronounced it as 'illegibility'.

So my wife cruised the local classified ads looking for a puppy. She found a 'Pomeranian' puppy for $100. She texts the owner and it becomes apparent the owner wanted to offload the puppy right now because she's preggers and about to drop a baby.

I'm smelling scam and I tell my wife as much but she's already emotionally invested in a puppy that may or may not exist. Anywho, the owner shows up and sure enough she has a puppy. It has no shot records and there's no way it's a Pomeranian (pretty sure it's a German Shephard). However, my wife already is pair-bonding with the damn animal and it's really hard to look an 8 month pregnant 19 year old in the eyes and say GTFO scammer. So I cut the check knowing that if this dog grows past 20lbs we are going to have to give it up - on this even my wife agrees. Hell, it's not even on the lease and we'll get slammed if we keep him and the landlord finds out.

My only consolation is that even if we have to give up the dog, the $100 we spent on it went towards that little baby in the oven. (hopefully)

I should have stopped this, it's such a disaster. This is the worst possible time to buy a puppy. Why did I have to go soft, why couldn't I be the dick and tell the preggers chick to get out????

Needless to say I won't be very active for a while.

If you sh!t on my stuff again mutt I WILL END YOU.

Cuddly little monster...
