The *New* Ranting Thread

[The SheoDovah]

Great, my self loathing is now in overdrive. Yay! Always love being kicked by myself. Thanks Self Loathing. Thanks for making me feel like [&@%!]. Great, just great having thoughts such as "Anything i do is [&@%!]." "always [&@%!] up in roleplays, [&@%!] characters, no wonder you're a [&@%!] roleplayer." etc.. Well, [&@%!] you brain! [&@%!] you mind. [&@%!] everything. Do not need this [&@%!] but no, let's keep internally raging at self because the realisation that you're a fat 23 year old that has yet to start his [&@%!] life because he can't get a goddamn job tends to put you in a [&@%!] mood whenever you think about it. This is not self pity. Self hatred. Ok, not hatred but self dislike. Does not [&@%!] help that mistakes from a year ago are constantly brought up by my brain. Yes, brain. I know i [&@%!] up. Don't need reminding. But no, let's torment Dovah with that instead of letting him remember something else. [&@%!] myself. [&@%!] me and [&@%!] the world. At this rate, i'm going to have a real [&@%!] life. 23, no relationships. Never had a first kiss. No [&@%!] would want me. I know i wouldn't. Just a fat piece of unemployed [&@%!] that will never get work because [&@%!] him, he doesn't need a job. No, he can live off the dole and probably end up succumbing to severe depression one day. Or stress. Or constantly worrying about [&@%!] or worrying about cash or trying to eat healthy but no, healthy food has to be too much. [&@%!] us, right. [&@%!] the unemployed if they dare to eat healthy. [&@%!] living off £20 for food. [&@%!] everything.

God, i hate myself when the self loathing appears. [&@%!] self loathing! I handled it well for 4 years when i was jobless last time. Why is it that i am not this time? I tell you why, i got [&@%!] overconfident. "Get a job easily." [&@%!] apprenticeships. [&@%!] the [&@%!] wages. Stop [&@%!] exploiting them! It makes it hard for people like me to even find jobs. Let alone get them.


Won't be surprised if i never fall in love or date or anything because of the [&@%!] job situation. Oh and i bet if i do get a job, it'll pay [&@%!] so i go from pure [&@%!] to mostly [&@%!]. Can't even use [&@%!] chat to socialise. No, instead, i waste all of my days doing [&@%!] all. banging my head against the wall. And the jobs i fdo find, never hear back or if i do, it's never good news. No wonder i'm not very popular. I would punch me in the face if i was another person. Yep, I am an unlikable prick. Deserve to be alone. Deserve to never have success again. I am a dickhead. A [&@%!] dickhead who fails at everything in life or destined to.

[&@%!] self loathing. I hate you so much. Great, saturday evening is now ruined.

[&@%!] BEING JOBLESS! I HATE IT! I CAN'T STAND IT ANYMORE! CAN'T [&@%!] TAKE ANYMORE OF THIS [&@%!]! ALMOST A [&@%!] YEAR AND NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT! [&@%!] THIS! [&@%!] THIS!

FUUUUUUUUCK THIIIIIIIIIIIIIS SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!

[&@%!] EVERYTHING!



[&@%!] my life.

Trying to watch youtube sometimes is just... uuuugh

Let it buffer a bit at the 360p range, good 5 minute lead? Oh, let me switch you to the highest available resolution without your consent. 'Literally 1 second later 'Oh no! The video seems to not be loading very quickly, let me switch it to the lowest then, see if that helps. Oh, and all that buffer you had prior, consider it gone. Sorry It's like it actively goes out of it's way to go against my preferences and settings, so much so to where it woud even fight over it! >__< At home this is fine, it never tries to act up, but else where wifi is either poor or just not stable enough to support 720p..

Same with ads.. [&@%!] them. Spends god damn forever trying to load a vid, hold on! Gotta sneak this ad in. Hold on, it needs to load too. Oh and btw, that video you want to watch? Too bad, because now it's frozen or has lost all buffer. Sometimes it'll even take longer to load the ad than the actual video.. may have something to do with the ads ALWAYS being at higher quality than necessary and taking as much sweet time as it can so that I can't skip it. It's the worse when it does so mid video >_> every god damn time it wipes any progress and may even freeze the vid because of the abrupt change

And most of all, [&@%!] this damn phone and [&@%!] app >___< oh, you where watching something? I see that you paused the video and switched over to browser for a second, or did you just place your phone into inactivity bc something important suddently came up? Oh, it only took you 5 minutes? Hold on while I reload youtube. Oh no, you didn't close the app, I did that enjoy reloading whatever you where watching and the same ad again

Seriously, [&@%!] you

[&@%!] the Planetside hackers (they're probably mostly script kiddies instead of real crackers). They're c***s that try to kill an old game for various reasons. Some attempt to give very weak excuses, but they don't hold up. However, there's some that try to kill the game for lulz and the hello of it. Plenty of them are prejudiced, unpleasant people that get off on terrorizing others. They even sent death threats, that while fake and ignoreable, just show how despicable they are. They're true no lifers and I wonder if some of them where sadists or sociopaths. Thank gosh we're going to be rid of them in a week.

We weren't able to really combat them for a while. Ever since the emulator project though, we've made an organized resistance against their [@#@]. We have used their own hacks against them. We even where able to make something that froze them in place if they started their tyranny. Of course, they hated that we where able to effectively fight back against them and stop them dead. So they made something to soft bypass that freezer. We still have the ability to fight back against them well, but reduced. I will love it when their only power over us slips from their grasp July 1st. After that, they have officially lost. When get a Planetside 1 emulator up, we will ban their asses.

Why must I be such a dawdler? Literally, what a time waster. How can so many hours go by and you've done nothing, or done something but taken ages to do it.
Wash your car, send those emails, stop [&@%!] about and get things done for crap sake!

Dear brain,

Thought i told you to get rid of any mentions of situations.. Filter it harder and stop letting it slip through. Negative Dovah is dead. Positive Dovah rules supreme.

Also, make us wait a minute before posting.

Dear everything, AKA the universe, AKA Cosmos

Why are you such a [&@%!]. Why. Are. You. Such a [&@%!]-mongering [&@%!]. I [&@%!] detest you so much right now. I have had to deal with the fallout of your cruel prodding and [&@%!]-mongering that you heap upon my friends and my loved one. Can you [&@%!] knock it off.

[&@%!] you.

[Crawldragon]

I have a degree and an above-average IQ and the one thing that consistently weighs me down in life is that I'm socially awkward? Are you [&@%!] kidding me? I'm working in a customer service position that I'm terrible at (and yet somehow still better than both my coworkers and my mangers) and the manager is too lazy to transfer me to another position because I need to work on my soft skills? How about for one day, just one [&@%!] day, we pretend that your ability to do a good damn job is more important than your ability to tell jokes around a water cooler?

Maybe if I don't have good soft skills I shouldn't be working customer service in the first place. Maybe when I come to you to ask for criticism and advice I'm looking for something a little more substantial than "you should be more sociable," like how to organize my tasks better or weak points that I should work on. Let's just ignore the fact that every truly successful person I've ever met has been way less friendly than me and in spite of years of effort I can't tell what they're doing right that I'm getting so completely and utterly wrong and no matter how many times I ask for help and advice I always get this hand-wavy lazy [&@%!] about my soft skills. [&@%!] your soft skills. I want to be good at something that's actually important. Excuse me if I want my work to speak for itself.

You know what [&@%!] me off >__< when someone forgets to treat a patient like their suppose to. First off, your a nurse, and he is YOUR patient. Nothing in that has changed. Just bc it was revealed to you that he was a step down from psych due to a medical emergency.. does not excuse your sudden shift in disposition to him.

Seriously, what did he do wrong? Nothing, he's still a person, and a patient. Your a nurse, and its sad when I have to tell you how to act like one

Never should a patient feel like their being punished for abiding by our treatment volunteerily(and still wants to resume said treatment!)

[KingFeraligatr]

Why the hell do I have to have a torment of endlessly racing thoughts, and unfocused mind, too many personal tasks, and more?! Like seriously, it's old and it needs to go. I have too much things on my personal plate to ever hope to finish and I'm too distracted to work on many things. Which leads me to abandon a lot of things. It also hinders me when I have to type up massive walls of texts. And trust me, there's a lot. I'd rather talk those ideas out, but oh! People want it in more permanent and pain in the ass text form! Dam my [&@%!] laziness!

For once, a humorous rant in this thread. Don't doubt I'm mad though.

Dear pinball game designers: I know you're a dying breed, and I respect that, but I'm addressing this open letter to you anyway because I have a request. Enough with the ramps that just fling your ball straight into the outlane to drain immediately. Oh, what, you didn't intend for it to do that? Well maybe you should have adjusted the angle of the ramp during testing, [&@%!]. This is an expensive hobby and I'm getting really tired of having my balls drain immediately after I start my game. I don't care if it's some kind of old-school tradition or whatever, if I find a modern pinball table and this crap is still happening I will go to your headquarters and be not very impressed with you.

[The SheoDovah]

I like sleeping without you making loud effing noises and being loud at 3am or 4am! You [&@%!] were too loud last night! If i could hear you from the middle of my stairs, you are too loud! What the [&@%!] was that chanting you did? Common decency would demand that you either stop partying after 2am or not be loud [&@%!]! Thanks to you, i had to resort to using a pillow to try to block out the darn noise! My neighbours are selfish bleeps! SHUT UP! SHUT THE [&@%!] UP AT NIGHT!

Midly annoyed but if that happened and i had something to go to, today, i would be furious.

I need somewhere to rant. This'll do just fine.

*breathe* I'm so sick of people. ALL people. Maybe I'm just a terrible person with a difficult personality. Maybe it's because I don't lick people's boots...idk. But I'm really tired of losing friends left and right. I'm so exhausted at trying to maintain relationships with people WHO NEVER RETURN MESSAGES.

Like, come on. Don't be a jerk. There is nothing more hurtful than being dismissed by someone you thought was your friend. And let's not even go into the whole thing with my sis and bro in law who say "oh, let's skype or visit one another" and then are dismissive after every attempt to contact them.

You know what? I'm so hurt today. [&@%!] people. Seriously. I give up. I don't even care about having friends anymore. I have a fantastic husband who is my best friend in the whole world and a beautiful son. So [&@%!] everyone else.

Time for a rant about academia!

"Well you see I have the perfect model for how humans organize cities. Assuming of course cities just pop up one day fully formed free of any historical context, that they exist free of any environmental, economic, social or political factors, that cities are organised in this way that no cities are actually organised in and humans all act in a way in which humans don't actually act."

Why do so many geographers do this crap? You're making imaginary models for imaginary cities that in no way resemble the real world and expect us to accept that as a quality study with real world acceptability? Sure, it has some value but we also need to come to an understanding of cities as they actually exist.

And while I'm at it, I hate scientism. The scientific method isn't universally applicable and you need more than just science to come to an understand of the world. Which is fine, it's not meant to be universally applicable, this is in no way me saying "boo science." Things that aren't science have a tonne of value too. You don't use the scientific method to study history. The scientific method can't be used to help you understand a work of art or tell you what beauty or morality is. Hell, by using science in the first place you're making the philosophical assumption that you can trust in fact trust your own senses (a fair assumption I'd argue but an assumption none the less,) a conclusion you are not coming to by way of the scientific method.

Also so many people say crap like "oh this is what science says" just assuming it agrees with them. Or they just cherry pick stuff that does.

Science is important, no doubt there. But it's only one of a number of methods we use to help us understand more about the world in which we inhabit. It isn't the be all and end all that some people like to act as though it is.
