The "Rant" Thread

Well, %@.

 

My long-distance girlfriend has a crazy ex that has been basically obsessing over her and trying to get her back for the last year. He vocally hates me, even though we've never actually met, for "stealing his woman at Jesus camp".

 

And I just found out he's going to Hume Lake, the camp where I met said girlfriend, the same week as me, and knows what I look like.

^ Jesus Camp is a good documentary... but that sucks.

 

My work over hired and I got fired yesterday for no real reason after a month. He said I didn't fit in with the team but wouldn't give me any real examples besides my first day which kinda sucks, and I didn't receive a warning or anything. It's okay though as A I submitted a bunch more applications and B I have a semi interview tomorrow at a restaurant(stonefire grill) where I have a very good friend who is well liked by his bosses and has recommended me. It sucks to get fired but I'd MUCH RATHER work with my friends at a position I'm more used to as this is similar to some earlier jobs I've had.

Ugh, I'm starting to get annoyed with a gaming website I'm an avid member of.

 

First, I noticed a huge flow of new members (I consider anyone that joined in 2011 to be new) that don't change their behavior patterns between 4chan's /v/ board and this relatively sophisticated forum. So quite a few trolls, terrible etiquette, flamings, and threads that encourage vicious debate.

 

Then the advertising on the site started to get worse. Banner ads became more animated and distracting, even to the point of slowing down the speed at which the page loads. Then ads for Gaikai, which could be called nothing less than in-browser pop-up ads, started showing up. Now a bar that has an ad for another site ALWAYS appears at the bottom of the page, along with a bunch of chat crap that nobody is bound to use.

 

And now I'm starting to see how horribly elitist and pretentious the community is. It's just annoying as hell to have a perfectly good conversation degrade to a biased, pointless PC vs Console debate, which happens more often than not.

If you want a good gaming forum, I suggest the Screwattack forums.

 

The trolls are kept to a minimum, there is not much 4chan behavior, the people are sophisticated, and there aren't any bratty 13 year olds. And...NO ADS

So, I have this friend who's Histrionic, but he doesn't know it. Only reason I know is because I found the disorder whilst browsing Wikipedia and the symptoms matched almost identically to his behavior. My rant stems from the fact that, when he gets angry towards you, it's almost impossible to have even the simplest of conversation without him getting angry at something you say. He's manipulative, over-sensitive, and takes every single romantic relationship he's in too seriously. I've tried to tell him that something's up, but he just gets angry and starts calling me out on things that aren't even slightly true (today, he said that I act superior towards others, a characteristic that I've made it a point to avoid and he knows that). It annoys me that he refuses to admit he's wrong, he refuses to do anything that he doesn't want to do, and he's a chronic liar - he lies about quite literally everything he talks about. I don't even know why I hang out with him, but when he's not being a pissy little brat, we enjoy each other's company. Ughhh.

 

Maybe I should just give up on helping him and make him mad whenever possible. Nah, that won't do anything... I don't even know.

Bella, my dog, died the other day. She was hit by a truck right in front of our house I wasn't home, but my mom heard the small yelp. She was gone by the time my mom got to her...

 

She would've been 5 next month, July 8th.

 

Bells with a few of her puppies from her last litter (3rd) back in 2009-

 

And her smiling-first time she did this-from way back in late 2007. Wasn't her prettiest smile, but it means something to me.

 

I miss her And so does my other dog, Blue. They'd been joined at the hip ever since we got them-they were real best friends.

^^Sorry to hear that. I just recently lost my three month old puppy. He got parvo. I got him his shots, but his immume system wasn't stong enough to fight it off. The toughest part of all of it was all the things I'll never get to do with him...I only had him for about a little over a month, but I grew so attached to him that I just balled when I buried him.

I just read an entire thread about how virgins, regardless of age, are essentially worthless human beings, and that if you aren't having sex right now and are waiting for "the one" or marriage, you're an idiot. Oh, and abstaining due to religion makes you an idiot as well.

 

I'm more disappointed in the internet now than ever before. Note that this is the same "sophisticated" forum that I ranted about a page or two back.

^That's...incredibly stupid.

 

Seriously, there's more to life than sex And when it comes to my age group, I would rather be with people who are virgins, because it shows that they are more responsible and have more self-control.

Chalk me up as another person who concurs. Not that I'm waiting or abstaining or anything, but anyone who uses relationships for sex and sex alone (especially if it's at the expense of their partner) is missing the point entirely. And calling out other people on their virginity if they want to keep it for the time being is kinda pathetic.

^ What do you have to do?

 

I only have AP English 11 homework, so I have to read 1984 (which I'm actually really enjoying so far) and write an essay about it, and read excerpts from the Old Testament of the Bible.

 

Oh, right, my rant: LulzSec needs to just stop. I used to think they were going too far when they were just hacking websites and taking them down to show off how weak their security is, including a few US Government websites, but they've crossed the line now.

 

They released something like 62,000 usernames and passwords for various websites, such as Facebook, Twitter, Xbox Live, and PayPal. This isn't "for the lulz", this is outright theft of personal information. This is absolutely unacceptable.

^^ For English I'm supposed to read A Raisin in the Sun, do a characterization, quotes, symbols, etc.

I don't even know what I'm supposed to do for APUSH, I lost the paper and my school doesn't have the assignment online. I'm just messaging a bunch of friends of mine on Facebook and asking them to tell me the assignment.
