Well, from a technical standpoint, there's always proxies. But that's most likely illegal there.


On a totally unrelated note, Stewart got his hands on a clip of some Republican saying that they already have a budget plan for next year, and that it cuts at least $4 trillion. A cursory examination of Wikipedia lists the total federal spending from last year... as $3.4 trillion. How do these people get elected? This guy is either a middle-school dropout or an anarchist. Sometimes, its hard to tell with Republicans (and I'm only being half sarcastic here)

That's why I don't associate myself with any party, and generally stay away from politics in general:

Because, whoever you're with, you still should feel embarrassed. The political "parties" (I put "parties" in quotes because nowadays they're more like "circuses") are ultimately going to be a part of the ruination of America. Constant bickering and fighting amongst themselves, when there's much more important matters to attend to in this country. Pisses me off. Dissolve the Republican, Democratic, and all other parties, and make one big party: American. Because that's what we fucking need right now.

Make one party and people will call the government authoritarian, communist, totalitarian, etc.

Quite a dilemma.

Listen to how she says it, thats the correct way to say it.

[Zeal]

I know this was a while ago, but that comic, Sayara, was so true its scary. Do you happen to work in a Co-op store? XP

On a different note, pissed off at a teacher at my local high school. Every Wednesday or so, I sit in on a Learning Strategies (basically Planning), mostly as support for two friends of mine. They both hate this teacher with a passion, they've had experience with her in Math. But, to get back on track, I didn't think much of this teacher, just from what I've heard, with students hating her, and my mom thinking she seemed kinda snobbish at the start, but getting to know her she seemed alright. At this point, I'm gonna have to agree with the students. Not only is she actually rude (speaking when a student is speaking and not listening to them), but she's hypocritical (saying that interrupting her is rude, when she's doing the exact same thing to her students), she doesn't have enough patience, she doesn't understand personal boundaries, (the students took an emotional and mental personality quiz, and requested they post them ONLINE), and she doesn't stop TALKING. They could've started minutes ago, and you're yakking like crazy. She's clashed with one of my friends sooooo many times. Today, my friend couldn't take it anymore and cried in a corner of the library for 5 minutes. CRIED. That's something you'd really have to AIM at doing, considering this friend of mine has been thrown off of a horse, into a BARRED IRON FENCE, and didn't shed a tear. She could've been killed had she been inches to the left. INCHES.

I know, this sentence may not make alot of sense right now, but I'm too busy seeing red to really care. Doesn't help that the principal's a complete douche who keeps on hiring douche teachers who have no clue what they're doing. Yeah, I know its not like anything happened to me, but this friend is one of the very few that I reaaaaally get along with and have alot in common. There was my rant for the day/week, depending.

[Randomness]

:disapprove:

Regardless of where you live... What greener pastures? As hair-brained as politics in America is, it's not all that much better elsewhere. Most western countries are dominated by two parties, really. Its something of a natural endpoint for political parties, especially when everyone is focused on a liberal-conservative dichotomy (As if it were that simple).

Ultimately, the extreme elements in parties aren't a threat though because they're simply unelectable on the national stage. People like Sarah Palin are not viable for gathering swing votes, which ultimately do decide elections (barring, of course, gerrymandered districts)

And yes, it is sad how much of Washington's advice has been ignored at our peril. Iraq and Afghanistan? He advised minimizing foreign entanglements. Neither country was a credible threat to us. (Unlike, for instance, Germany in WWI, and we were attacked first in WWII. Actually, I don't think the US has ever won a war where it was the aggressor. WWI is the closest case, but Germany had already begun attacking US ships - who were, admittedly, supplying Britain, but this was not an outright act of aggression)

As an addendum - While middle eastern countries may have been harboring terrorists, the countries themselves were not directly attacking us. Further, defense against terrorism must be considered in a cost/benefit case, since no security is foolproof - especially when you're talking something like modern airports and seaports which see massive amounts of people and cargo moving through daily.

Politically, I see the Republicans as less desirable than Democrats, because they come across as irrational: willful ignorance of scientific opinion, refusal to ever consider raising taxes (even in the boom years before the market crash), etc. More recently, their opposition to everything the Democrats proposed for health care came across as being entirely partisan. Their cries of death panels weren't even stretching the truth - they were outright lies. This of course comes on top of me starting to pay attention to politics while Bush Jr. was in office. Basically, I've seen more shenanigans from the Republicans than the Democrats, so its a matter of hating them more. (The whole Tea Party bit is pretty inane too - these are the last kinds of people we need driving debate)

I've seen some of the pics of the back of the store. Fun stuff to deal with, yaaaay. *textual sarcasm*

What kind of people do you work with?

I also came up with something else. Somewhat more of a worry, but still frustrates me. So, I have a final Math exam that I'm doing tomorrow. Finally finishing up this course, first one that'll be done this term. Anyway, I'm pretty good with numbers. Gotten really good grades on my tests (They're the only things that are marked. Distance Ed and what not). I'm not amazing, but simple stuff with percentages and taxes, etc., whatever. Its not so much the exam that bugs me. It's the speed drill that I have to do afterwards. Understandable, considering I'm using an office calculator. BUT, its the fact that I have to get 100 kpm (keys per minute) with 90% of it correct in five minutes, or else I fail the entire course. :-x Are you kidding?! I know it sounds kinda trivial, but it's intense trying to type 500 keys in 5 minutes. Pass or fail tomorrow, I figured I may as well get it out there. :-? Here's hoping. *crosses fingers*

You're ruining my after 5, Anonymous. I give you frowny face for that. :(

I fookin' hate my online Sociology teacher. He gives us exams with 75 questions and 50 minutes to take it. We can only take the test once and we can't even double check our answers. It's not that I find the class to be extremely hard or anything, because I actually like sociology; my problem is the readings. Each question is about two sentences long and each answer is also a sentence long, so it's not just simple questions. I can just imagine him sitting behind his computer with his troll face on.

Is it me, or has speed at Amazon been slower lately? I mean time between clicking order and them shipping the items out. Even with free shipping it used to seem like it was "if every part of your order is in stock at the same location, it will be shipped the next business day."

The other day I ordered a mouse from them, listed as in stock, only thing in that order. It was placed on the night of the 5th. The 6th, 7th, and even right now it says along the lines of "being prepared to ship, can't change order."

Had I known it wouldn't have shipped by now, I'd have either ordered from some other site (Buy.com has it same price, in stock, claim ship within 2 days, and offers free shipping), or sucked up the $10 loss and drove up the road to Best Buy.

[Sayara]

I'll continue.

Google keeps taking me to iGoogle, and doesn't give me an option to just use the vanilla Google.

Birther nonsense. I've had it.

1) A birth certificate is a government-issued document. The State of Hawaii has formally stated that it exists. How can you say this statement is not trustworthy when an official birth certificate is a government statement that said individual was born there (among other things)?

2) Jus sanguinis (right of blood). US law provides for this (albeit not in the constitution). Obama's mother was a US citizen, thus, ipso facto, Obama was born a US citizen. That's it. The question of the 14th amendment's jus soli (right of soil) clause is irrelevant. The birthers could be right and Obama would still have been born a US citizen and thus eligible for the presidency. (Actually, why has nobody brought this up? I learned this stuff back in high school)

Actually, to be more specific, I'm pissed at Trump. This guy is currently embodying the worst of US politics in actually espousing this idiocy, and doing so in the most blatantly pandering way possible.

[Outrider]

The tea party basically guarantees that whoever wins the primary will lose to Obama though. I mean, they're all pandering so hard to the far right, while Obama remains a very effective campaigner who now enjoys the advantage of being the incumbent.

So, I poured out every wrenching long-winded negative emotion on someone's Skype describing how they're not my friend. The downside, they haven't been online for a while now. Or just blocked me. Give or take. I feel much better now. Should they come back online, they'll find a barrage of crap waiting for them. I'm afraid I'm not so understanding anymore.

Well, sometimes you just have to say "fuck being the tactful, tolerant nice guy" and just give those sons-a-bitches what's coming to them. I try my best to be nice to people, but if they just won't have it, and insist on being assholes to me no matter what I do or say, then it's time to go nuclear on their miserable asses.

If you're being serious, I say go for it. I personally love bagpipe music. It gives me that ancient, Celtic vibe whenever I hear it, and it invigorates and excites me. I don't understand why most other people rag on it, or think it's "weird". I think it's great.

The one computer I have that can play any recent game hit an unrecoverable bsod while I was trying to update my phone and that has thrown a huge kink in to my plans for the week. Luckily the only thing on it were some Episode 3 videos, Minecraft, and PSU so it shouldn't be too hard to just start over. It means loosing my Minecraft world but I suppose it can't be helped.

A friend of mine who hosts a multiplayer Minecraft server world I started back in November or so has to make new temporary worlds for us to mess around in every time there's a new update because all the mods we use no longer work, and we have to wait until they get updated as well. It kinda sucks, but if we build something cool, he has a program that can apparently copy/paste different areas onto different worlds so we can continue using them in our original world. That said, it's a good idea to keep such data backed up onto a USB drive or something, in case something like that happens again.

Elementary/middle schoolers who think they're cool, fooling around with laser pointers on a moving bus, causing that bus to crash into a van and continuing to do it an hour later after a new bus arrives while it's on a busy highway.

I had to break their little toys to get them to stop. Then the bus driver kicked them off the bus. Problem solved, since the head of the school probably will kick them off the bus for the rest of the year.

continuing to do it an hour later after a new bus arrives
I cannot tell if you were joking or not. In all my years of taking the bus to school I don't think I have ever experienced anything like that. Although, I do recall a classmate of mine jumping out the emergency window of a moving bus.

Yeah, especially since nowadays the parents are the stupid fucking kids.

On another side note, close your goddamn legs if you don't want kids. Some teenage girl complains about having a kid, the father being a deadbeat highschooler, etc. WELL WHOSE FAULT IS THAT. Mind you, this isn't directed at the women who may have been raped or such stuff like that. But for all the other ones who made a choice and decided they just "loved" who they were fucking, it's your own damn fault. You'll get no sympathy for me that you got your special place wrecked.

Well, got some good news and bad news.

Bad first, Job is once again pissing me off. Its another one of those "I do 10x as much work as everyone else" situations. And theres a new manager coming over (whom I hear has a nasty attitude). That could be good/bad. I mean I do my work and stuff so there shouldn't be any problems, but I'll just have to wait and see how that turns out.

Well on the plus side, for my bday, I got a fully upgraded computer from my friend. I don't know a lot about computers, but all I know is I can play Crysis 2 now and it looks freakin 20x better than it did on my 360 lol.

Trying to deal with ordering books for upcoming college courses. Not alot of fun. D:< I've ordered textbooks twice in the past with no problems. Called, said what textbooks I needed, gave them credit card number, done. It was on its way. Of course, that was with a certain person who I can't remember the name of. Now, last term, I wasn't aware that the courses needed textbooks, so I was a little late in starting. This term, I decided to get the jump and phone a week ahead. I do so, they tell me they'll phone back Thursday. "Fine" I say. So Thursday rolls around. They haven't phoned. I go 'Screw it' and phone 'em again. THIS time, they say they're gonna phone back Wednesday, with one of my courses starting the DAY BEFORE. And, of course, it always takes at least a week for the books to get here. The one time I try and take an initiative, and this happens. Makes me afraid of actual college, to be honest. >_<

Also, this is more entertaining to me than annoying, but apparently Youtube has also decided to jump on the 'RickRoll'd' bandwagon. You right click on any vid with the new format, you'll see the 'Save Video as...' button. Clicking on it takes you to Rick Astley's 'Never Gonna Give You Up' (honestly, not sure if that is the actual title or not. Sorry. XP ) official music video. Touché, Youtube. Touché.

Well, tornado season is in full swing in Arkansas right now... seems like the past 3 or 4 days, there's been storms going on, and it sucks when the power flickers for JUST a split second and shuts my computer off. Pisses me off SO much, especially when I'm right in the middle of something... :nono:

Also, it seems there's been a lot of bad flooding in Vilonia, which is north of Little Rock, I believe. Levees breaking and mudslides causing rivers to overflow and shit, on top of all the tornadoes... I heard most of the town, albeit not very big, was wiped out. :(


I'm going to be pissed if any of my personal information is compromised as a result of the recent PSN fiasco.

Same here, since I'm using my mom's debit card info. I just don't see why it's taking them so long to fix, and why they're being so secretive about it... I keep hearing rumors about, "it's Anonymous," "it's NOT Anonymous," "they're just beefing up their security," etc., so I don't know what to believe. :confused:


Trying to deal with ordering books for upcoming college courses. Not alot of fun. D:<

I hated getting books for college. A lot of my courses didn't even use them (although they were required in the syllabus), and by the time you sell them back, they're worthless. After I finish the class, what the hell am I going to do with a bigass algebra book: use it to fuel a campfire, use it as a doorstop or coaster, lift weights with it, cry about how many trees were cut down to make the damned thing, or just tear out the pages and wipe my ass with them the next time I have to "visit the Oval Office and fill out some paperwork?" :rolleyes:

Personally, had I known college was full of so much bullshit, I probably would've just stuck with my crappy Wal-Mart job, or hell, even join the military... maybe. But only because my dad was in the national guard and would probably have some connections.

Yeah, that tends to happen a lot when I can't get a full 5-man team with my friends on League of Legends and we get stuck with randoms that can't coordinate well with us because we use Teamspeak most of the time instead of the text chat. Sadly, at least half of the time, the community on that game tends to be horrible, from my experiences.

Yesterday, I played a match where we had a Karthus (basically a mage-like Lich character who can still cast spells for a short period after he dies) who thought he could initiate a fight against the entire enemy team by himself. He kept blaming the rest of us for not backing him up when he was "trying to lure them," despite the fact that the rest of our teammates were on opposite ends of the map, spread out in other lanes, or just hadn't respawned again yet from previous deaths, and obviously had no quick way of getting there in time. Needless to say, we ended up losing that match...

Now, last term, I wasn't aware that the courses needed textbooks, so I was a little late in starting. This term, I decided to get the jump and phone a week ahead. I do so, they tell me they'll phone back Thursday. "Fine" I say. So Thursday rolls around. They haven't phoned. I go 'Screw it' and phone 'em again. THIS time, they say they're gonna phone back Wednesday, with one of my courses starting the DAY BEFORE. And, of course, it always takes at least a week for the books to get here. The one time I try and take an initiative, and this happens. Makes me afraid of actual college, to be honest. >_<



It doesn't help if you're already late getting the books, but back in college I ordered all of my books used from Half.com. People usually responded quickly and I saved a ton of money.

Me. I'm really pissing myself off today. Why can't I just buckle down and finish the one page paper that is due in 65 minutes, start memorizing my lines, so I can take a nap once we get rehearsal time?! And why am I so hesistant to buy my cap and gown package?

[Ketchup345]

Hulu/the show's website censors the show. The episode listed as the Pilot (season 1 episode 1) for the show is actually season 1 episode 8.
The episodes are split into segments, and the quality isn't consistent between them. One segment will look fine, the next will look horrible, the next look fine again.

Also, it is difficult to read text when using my TV as a monitor.

[Tetsaru]

I think the mic I've been using to talk with my friends over Teamspeak just died. The headphones have been messed up for a while, but now the mic's not picking up on my speech, and I haven't changed any settings.

On top of that, I've pretty much determined why my internet speeds have been so slow: the ethernet port on my NIC must have gotten damaged from the storm that took out my original power supply. I hooked up my dad's old laptop and was getting 8.3 Mbps; I was getting less than 1 Mbps. But using a USB cable instead of an ethernet cable, I'd get around 5 Mbps...

And then, a friend of mine, who recently got what might as well be his dream job (artist for a small gaming company), is wanting to use one of his next paychecks towards a laptop for his girlfriend who he met on FF11 and hasn't met irl yet, despite he and I knowing each other for much longer. He says she's going to do something in return for him (probably something along the lines of actually traveling to meet him and/or get into his pants), but at the same time, I'd be willing to somehow pack him back for it possibly through work-related things, seeing how I've been unemployed for over a year now...

A friend of mine who hosts a multiplayer Minecraft server world I started back in November or so has to make new temporary worlds for us to mess around in every time there's a new update because all the mods we use no longer work, and we have to wait until they get updated as well. It kinda sucks, but if we build something cool, he has a program that can apparently copy/paste different areas onto different worlds so we can continue using them in our original world. That said, it's a good idea to keep such data backed up onto a USB drive or something, in case something like that happens again.

I have no problem with acting classes, since they are a class for acting. My issue is the fact that my school's department doesn't segregate the techies from the actors in terms of required classes, and as the department favors the actors, even the tech based classes require us to act. This also isn't just my gripe, most of the tech instructors want to do away with that, but the department head has dictated it as such, so even classes like stagecraft have way more emphasis on the acting side of things than anyone thinks is really necessary. This goes back to my previous comment: becuase we have actors thrown into the tech classes there are many who don't give a damn about the class and make it harder for us who do want to be there and learning since they can be very uncooperative with the techies. This honestly wouldn't be much of an issue if the performance majors were in some kind of conservatory type program so that the ones who did take tech classes were only doing it becuase they wanted to, not becuase they needed to.(It feels good to rant about these things :D)

You're not walking in, completely changing your entire physique, including stamina to handle a ton of body sculpting, in one day then walking out Arnold Hulkmaster flex.

That's just asking for trouble, dude. The first part of starting a workout is conditioning yourself to the final workout itself.

On the plus side, the next workout won't hurt nearly as bad, as long as you don't overdo it and tear or strain a muscle.

It wasn't so much a certified trainer, but a friend of mine who went through the military so he was taught some rigorous techniques to get results. They work, they're just painful. He kept telling me that I shouldn't push myself so hard since it was my first time working out like that.

I didn't listen. ^^;

I may have strained my bi's and tri's a bit but nothing serious. The pain subsided a bit once I started moving around and stretching a bit. (Although the pain when using them was horrendous, and still kind of is. >_>) Either way, I'm going back to the gym today to work on legs. It was going to be a "chest and legs" day, but he said if I did strain something, then it's better to let it be for now, and wait until we go back Monday to try anything with my arms again. Does that sound like a good idea? ^^;

[Nitro Vordex]

You should have upper body and lower body days. You also must,must,MUST stretch out before you start working out. You also shouldn't strain yourself so hard, you'll end up doing more harm than good. I remember when I first started weight training in high school, I couldn't even reach my locker to put my workout clothes away, ugh. Eventually you're able to deal with it though, and it gets a little easier as you go.

Graduation. Not looking forward to it.

I juts couldn't stand that look of disappointment when I first told them I didn't want to walk, so I caved.

On the topic of AP courses: The only AP test I ever failed to get a passing score on was Economics, and that was only because after the first week of class the teacher decided to just check out completely so we never actually learned the material.

On Thursday I was called into work for today. My allergies have not let me have a peaceful day in weeks (it is an outdoors job).

Grand-Am racing may bring DTM (German touring cars) to the US. Nice to see another series in the US, but from the bits I've seen, BTCC (British Touring Car Championship) is significantly better than DTM.

Come on people, either keep right until you're going to pass, or find the gas pedal. Your car probably only has 2 pedals, the one on the right makes you go faster. If you are in the far left lane, you are supposed to PASS the car(s) on the right.

It is 7PM with just clouds. You are in a Jeep. Why are your high beams on behind me? Everything is just fairly gray, use your low beams. I've had enough SUVs behind my car to know the difference between high beams and low beams.

Funny, but weird: I see some unnecessarily large "bling" wheels. Normally I think ok, whatever. But the ones I saw today was on an open top trailer (like you'd use to move lawn mowers, bulk trash, or firewood). Really? On a trailer?!

I hear ya, man. Had I known back after graduating high school what I know now about going to ASU, I would've done things a lot differently. Probably the only thing I didn't regret was the friends I made in the anime/sci-fi/gaming clubs, and being able to go to my first convention in Memphis. That, and maybe some of my college band experiences, like getting to go to the New Orleans Bowl... except it wasn't in New Orleans due to hurricane Katrina and our team lost. The football team also got to stay in a much nicer hotel than the band did. :(

Anyway, our neighbors got their house Tented and Sprayed for Termites. Now this wouldn't be a problem, but apparently they had mice, because I've seen a few in our garage for the past few days. There was even wan in the car, and it crawled onto my knee. I freaked out, pretty much. Hopefully we can get someone to get rid of it, or we get rid of it ourselves. Also, it's been raining a lot. :/ Switching between hot and cold, making me sick. Not cool man, not cool.

[Tetsaru]

A few days back, my dad woke me up while I was sleeping during the day and was freaking out about something. It turned out that some bees (the bad kind that don't die easily and will chase your ass down) had gotten into an air duct next to our bathroom and were starting to get into various rooms of the house. Apparently last summer, my dad stumbled upon a nest of these things and he and one of our neighbors had to spray them with diesel to kill them because most of the bug sprays we had wouldn't work on them. Also, my mom nearly died once from an allergic reaction to a wasp sting, so we've been paranoid about these kinds of insects getting into the house. I ended up having to close all the air conditioner vents in the house while my dad stuck a fogger in the bathroom to gas them to death, and then we went outside to seal off the air duct where they came in. So far, we haven't seen any more, but summer isn't in full swing yet...

Damn bugs. :argh:

I'm assuming you've seen or at least spoken to a doctor today as a result?

Well, I mean....I know I have a heart problem. I've been officially diagnosed with a moderate-severe case of A-fib (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrial_fibrillation). But this morning was just weird, and a bit scary.

As for a doctor, I would have talked to him, but his office is over an hour away from my house. Since I moved in with my dad a month or so ago, I haven't gotten a chance to change physicians.

[Outrider]

Well, I also have a heart problem (though mine is relatively minor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicuspid_aortic_valve)), but that's specifically why I recommend you either try to find a new doctor nearby or at least give your previous doctor a call. It can be scary worrying about those kinds of things. You want to make sure that what you're experiencing isn't something you should be concerned about.

[BIG OLAF]

Yes, I should really look into finding a local physician here, just in case anything happens, even if I get sick.

So we had a storm come by while I was sleeping. What makes this interesting is that I ended up with 3 bad dreams in a row. The first, which I'll only be talking about: Apparently a bolt of lighting struck near my window. The flashing was ridiculous enough to make me freeze and not turn around.

Then I woke up.

It's almost like they're trying to say there's something new in the game.

War shooters bore the crap out of me. Even if the mechanics are well tweaked and the guns balanced it just doesn't matter. That theme holds no interest for me. I like more fantastical ones. Serious Sam, Unreal Tournament, Deus Ex, System Shock 2, Bioshock, Borderlands, Fallout, War for Cybertron. I guess you could say realism is one of the last things I look for, so I guess I've always resented the modern war shooters. Not a GoW fan though, give me a call when it isn't 50 shades of grey.

I really do find GoW terribly bland though aesthetically. I have played all the way through the first game with a friend, and a lil bit of online. I didn't like it, wasn't impressed, and it just got very boring to me very fast. Never even tried touching 2 after that and watching a couple trailers. Call me shallow for liking bright colors and being more particular than most when it comes to world setting, but that's just the way it works with me. To be fair, though I listed Fallout as a shooter I play, I'd say I've played every other one on that list more, cause it kinda has the same deal (Oh look, MORE BROWN DESSERT!) Though navigation in that game was more frustrating to me than anything. Damn the dark ass subway tunnels and their maze like layouts, ouph!

I honestly don't see any significant flaws in Gears of War 3 as far as game design goes. It really is a very well-put-together game. It's fixed basically everything that was wrong with Gears 2 (a lot), and the franchise as a whole. There was still some wonky crap that happened every now and then (shotguns firing blanks, for example), but ousting those weird glitches was what the Beta was for.

Oh and (Green Lantern Corps #60 Spoilers) [comic nerd rant] They blew up Mogo. Why would you blow up Mogo? Geoff Johns, blowing up Mogo does not make for a shocking plot twist. It is a disrespectful way to eliminate a character that has great significance in the Green Lantern mythos, and I feel sad that much of the DC universe is at the mercy of your "cool" and "edgy" ideas. Killing characters is not a good way to develop a story or to bring about change; it is merely an overused plot device that cheapens stories, especially in comic books. [/comic nerd rant]

I'm not really a fan of most of his work, mostly because he relies on shock value and trying to play to the old-school Silver Age fans who don't want anything permanently important to happen to the main cast of heroes in the DC Universe. He's a comic book fanboy who became a comic book writer, which, uh... turns out to not always be the best thing.

Yeah. Honestly, the only time when deaths are appropriate are when they are part of an overreaching story that has more of a pay off than "No one is safe/Who's next," like in most of the good issues of Detective that are actually Batman-as-detective stories. I don't have an overall problem with Johns; in fact, I've quite enjoyed the new volume of The Flash, putting aside my feelings of Wally being sidelined and the retconning of Barry's origin story, since the arcs were detective stories and had some good, albeit at times a bit predictable, twists. Although Manapul's art may skew my opinion to be more favorable about that book.

Yeah, I'm a little out of a date. I haven't read superhero comics regularly in over a year. Not surprised to hear that Wally's completely sidelined, though. Johns seems to love the heroes he grew up with and refuses to let them be out of the limelight, even if it's somebody like Hal Jordan, who is possibly the most boring character to ever come out of Boring City, the capital of Boredomia.

Looking back at all of the great friendships that I somehow managed to ruin in one way or another really makes me feel like shit.

[FOkyasuta]

Knowing that peace will never be achieved.

[Wayu]

So, here's my dad's logic.

- Playing video games on weekdays is bad because it distracts you and you won't be able to study for the rest of the day and you'll become an addict. (that's extreme but the distracting part is sort of true...sort of)
- Playing video games when you have AP classes is bad because you'll get distracted. (okay, sure)
- Playing video games when APs are over and you have the easy class final exams is bad because playing games damages your score. (...uh...)
- Playing video games over the summer is bad because it eats up time you can totally prepare for classes that you totally know all the content to and can make study guides for already. Also, playing games makes you an addict. (uh, no)
- Just because I was able to keep my GPA high when I still gamed quite a bit does not mean that I can retain my GPA now if I even so much as touch my PSP. My GPA being higher than before must definitely NOT be a result of me studying with my brother who's a grade higher. (...)
- If I'm not studying, I'm playing games. It doesn't matter if it's talking with my friends on Skype, that's playing games to him. Watching TV is playing games to him. Taking a nap is playing games to him. Going out to hang out with my friends is playing games. This includes going on this forum because this forum is related to games so it's the same as playing games.
- Logical reasoning against his above logic is worthless because he's my dad and I have to follow every single one of his orders.

So, two options. Ignore him and beat the shit out of him whenever he tries to get violent on me (again) or just sell off the game consoles. I'm tempted to do more than just smack him in the head with a baseball bat, though.

So its true. Video games (or lack thereof) lead to violence.

Fact is, he's right about them being distracting, although he is taking it overboard.

How about instead of selling the consoles, you give them to your brother and he can store them for you? That way the old man gets off your back and you still have a gaming sanctuary somewhere.

[Wayu]

If he gave me coherent logic I'd take it, but the basis of all of his arguments on this topic is either "I think they're bad so no" or "I'm your dad so shut the fuck up".

[MESeele]

In the hierarchy of parenting, your old man doesn't need logic or reasoning.

@Wayu: ^This is truth, even if they are unreasonable. You live in their house, and they support you. In physical terms, they have a lot they could hold over you. They take their experience as reason to force you into things against your will. Distortions and vicarious living aside, parents just want their children to walk a better path than they did (give or take). Mind you, I also understand your perspective. Asian parents are typically very err 'potent' in their expressing of opinions. And generally far more harsh regarding academia (put mildly). I don't know your situation, so this is more rambling than thoughts that definitely relate to you - just something to keep in mind.

Grass is always greener may also play a part. The desire for more freedom when seeing other situations. But some parents don't give a damn about what their kids get up to. Sure it's much more freedom, but most kids can't direct themselves proficiently that early in life. Without any guidance, they tend not to do so well. A happy medium that works is wishful thinking and a rarity. I sound harsh, but no matter how much you disdain tendencies and traits present in your family, they'd have to care a lot about you to act how you've described. It sounds overbearing, but you are taking multiple AP courses and it sounds that you are doing quite well. Your parents are creating opportunities in your life; perhaps against your will, but you will be far better off with few limits over many. Your end of the spectrum may be more difficult to endure right now, but it beats being limited and stuck at a bad job you hate for the rest of your life.


Gonna hit you with some other situations. I know a lot of teachers, and many parents in western areas feel that their part in parenthood is over after conception. Many believe that raising the child is the school's job alone. This is from just one school district, and one of the higher standing ones at that. You don't hear about these stories. Teachers that deal with kids who were never taught how to tie their shoes, never taught how to brush their teeth, who were never read to as a child and so can't even recognize letters, children of 4 who couldn't speak because they were not talked to. Not due to being mentally handicapped or anything, they are normal kids. The parents simply did not take interest in their children. To be blunt, no matter what sort of parent you have, there will always be hardships. But on that spectrum of a parent's interest in their child, you are fortunate to have those that do (even if too much).


Given what I've read, it seems that they are pushing without knowledge of your limit. I'd hate for you to do something radical, and this is why I wrote this stuff lol. Seems your nearing an edge, or that you'll be end up being burned out soon. Or you're just venting lol. The 'sleeping is playing games', I hope is an exaggeration, but I can see otherwise :/. This isn't a fight you can win. Even should you rebel, you'll still only hurt yourself. All you can do is take what your parents have striven to give you and run with it. Grow more than them, become more than them. And down the road, should you ever decide to have children, and should you still feel as you do now, you can treat your child differently. Improve upon what they have given you. In the meantime, however, I suggest you try and bear it. Sounds like mandatory schooling is almost over for you.

Some parents also have children and exert control over them because they see their children as property, but I see no need to go into that, given that this is meant to be a positive reply ;P.

I read it as non-western animation the first time. My mistake.

Giant Food was the cause!? Did Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs happen in your city or something? Beware the errant Fruit Loops, they shatter bones!

[Sayara]

Im sorry Giant Food is the company i work for. Not the literal "GIANT FOOD"

Ah, it all comes together. That makes far more sense than what I was picturing.


One word. Rent.

Me being so unhealthily , ungodly, ridiculously ticklish. Almost every time I go to scratch my stomach, foot, or pretty much anywhere, I end up jumping and/or screaming.

Corporation/organizations that don't believe in investing in equipment beyond the initial purchase. Maintenance funding is a beautiful thing when done.

Thats not exactly a...unhealthy thing. Just a tolerance to touch.

I suppose. My doctor told me once that my skin is unusually sensitive to touch. Don't know how that happens, but meh.

Think of yourself as more adapt to protect yourself from any creepy-crawlies that try to eat you while you're asleep than other less sensetive human beings.

I guess that could be an advantage. It's just embarrassing to flinch and squirm just about every time someone touches me. :-o

All of the credential program classes are three hours long after five o'clock. Not looking forward to next semester.

EDIT: Why?! I will find Geoff Johns and do unspeakable things to him! What horror have you brought upon us Johns?! (http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2011/05/31/dc-comics-announces-historic-renumbering-of-all-superhero-titles-and-landmark-day-and-date-digital-distribution/)This better just be a way of reintroducing the worlds of the multiverse and not seriously screw up continuity. Oh, God. It's going to be Heroes Reborn again, isn't it. Hopefully things will go back to normal after a while like after that. Grant Morrison better put his foot down when it comes to Batman, since I'm sure he won't be pleased if his years-in-the-making epic tale has to be ended so that we get a fresh, young Bruce Wayne again. Well at least the news of same-day digital release is semi-good; of course it also means the continued death of comic book shops.

Good news: My eye is now fully healed with no permanent damage to my eyesight.

Bad news: Before that happened, I tripped over my Xbox360 while playing Dragon Age 2, causing to it to fall over and upon doing so it scratched the game disc to Hell and back.

[Sayara]

and what is the value of lost or gain here? Games are rebuyable i guess?

[RenzokukenZ]

The clear gain is two working eyes.

The clear loss is about $300 of broken electronics that will take an arm and a leg (based on my salary) to replace.

It's one of those 'win some, lose some' scenarios, nothing more.

Associates who still from there own job, especially something as stupid as a $5 DVD. WHYYYYYYYYYY? 2 people just got fired for doing that today and I've actually known 3 more who have gotten fired for the same reason.

I just tried a gluten-free chocolate cookie.

Never again.

Just got back from a place where I got some sushi to find that the person who packed it put it in vertically. No surprise that my quaint, neatly presented meal had quickly transformed into a mish-mash of things...

I hate unknowingly posting on the last slot of a thread page. Take a question thread per say. I post a question. Then some dumbass posts an extremely simple one shortly after, usually along the lines of 'how does I shot web?' or 'pp sounds naughty what does it do?'. This post takes the first slot of the new page, and seemingly nobody checks back further than the most recent page on these types of threads, meaning my question fades into oblivion. GAH!

[Tyreek]

Really am becoming tired of being so... Caring and attentive to people. Especially when its being paid back with bs. I need more apathy in my blood so I can not give a fuck when needed, and not after the fact.

[Majarra]

Just bought a game on Amazon. Guess what?

THE FUCKING DISC ISN'T THE CASE

How the fuck does an online seller forget a part of the package? God damnit.

Job hunt. So far I've gotten "You don't have enough experience," and "You have too much education for this position." Yeah. Gotta just keep truckin'.

The good old 'you're too smart for this job, we need someone who we can easily indoctrinate and who won't question our non-existent authority'? Good times, good times.

Installing mods for Oblivion is a pain in the ass.
