Random Rants #XXIV - The Angry Mob

[El_Machinae]

Yeah, that's the frustrating part. We know it's gonna happen eventually. This is why I get pissed that people are not sufficiently helping it happen even sooner.

Both my friend's parents died of cancer this year, and my aunt was diagnosed in April. When it rains it pours..

Personal rant: I'm 19 and losing my hair

If the earphones leak THAT much, then they are forced to either lower it or put it away completely.

I have sensitive ears for that sort of thing; I can hear other people's earphones normally whenever they can hear them. It's most annoying, and, in my experience, the half-deaf teacher on the other side of the room normally can't hear the earphones even when I can.

 

[Arakhor]

Ouch! At least you can sympathise with Patrick Stewart, as apparently all his hair fell out at the age of 18.

 

[choxorn]

Despite appearances to the contrary, you don't have freedom of speech until you're 18 and/or no longer living with your parents.

Of all things in life, there are few that are universal, indisputably true. This is one of those things.

I mean, I went to high school a long, long time ago when iPods didn't exist and almost no one had a cell phone, but I can't imagine teachers allowing them in class; aren't they kinda, like, disruptive and not conducive to the actual purpose of having a class in the first place?

Basically you use them when you're working on homework/classwork not when the teacher is talking. The teachers that allow them, allow them if other people can't hear the music. I think they are pretty helpful when there are always groups of people that talk, and I can drown them out with music.

You young uns never had it so good! *shakes fist*

During high school, I basically intimidated my AP US History teacher into letting me bring speakers for my iPod during group work and class work times. I was a dick to my teachers in high school.

That's not really a rant, but whatever.

UGH, I have been trying for months now to beat minesweeper on expert but I always seem to get multiple walls that make it so that you have to guess and I ALWAYS guess wrong at some point
Has anyone hear ever beaten Minesweeper on expert? If so, how'd you do it?

Best expert = 208 seconds.

Just learn the patterns. Like the 1-2-2-1, 1-2-1, 1-2-3-2-1, etc.

Do you have any strategies for avoiding getting those straight walls of numbers followed by unrevealed squares? Those seem to kill me every game

 

[choxorn]

Some patterns of squares always have exactly the same bombs nearby, just think about what logically must be true about whether a square can or can't contain a bomb.


And if you have to guess, which you nearly always do, pick somewhere that has a low chance of having a bomb and hope you get lucky.

My day is now, and only Year 10 and above are allowed cell-phones, I-Pods, e.t.c., and even then, only outside class.

As it should be.

Anything that isn't used for teaching should not be allowed inside a high school classroom I say.

I goddamn hate cancer, and it's so goddamn unfair that kids get it. We should've solved it by now, but we're all too fricken focused on wallowing in our hedonism to fix problems.

We need a good world war. That'd help get us going.

Or, my solution: don't play.

Theres a freeking bug that keeps flying around annoying the HECK out of me!

Kill it.

 

[GenMarshall]

Kill it.

I cant, every time I try to catch it. It always fly away!!

 

[Tee Kay]

I said kill it, not catch it.

Roll up a newspaper, then go crazy.

At this point, whether you actually kill the bug will become irrelevant, since you get to let off steam. You might want to put your valuables somewhere safe though.

 

[really]

Boo I don't like paying taxes. It took ages to pay off the last big pile up of debt from the 80s.

 

[Tee Kay]

It's 2am, WTH.

[Kozmos]

The anti-anxiety pills stopped working. I am going to pass out or vomit in that undersized classroom with the sickly sweet smell and lack of oxygen.
