Mini rants for everyone!

Given your consistently hilarious low opinion of women, I might make the suggestion that you should either try dating men or join the clergy.

Oh, hell no on the first idea. I've got the Mr. Yuck face just thinking about that option. I may just tolerate women but what you just suggested is a path I am NOT interested in going down. I guess I'll just accept this stupid holiday as one of the necessary evils of life and move on. I know full well that it's only 24 hours and we'll all go back to normal life afterwards.

Why do you hate women so much? The hell are you, Francis Tumblety? Edit: Never mind, read your post. Not every woman is like that, y'know. I know people say that a lot, but I don't think I'm materialistic at all. Know what my girlfriend and I are doing tomorrow? Going to her house to watch movies, and I'm giving her a hand-made fleece blanket.

Oh no, if you're insinuating that I'm Jack the Ripper then you're so wrong it isn't even funny. Jack the Ripper was a misogynist in every sense of the word because he hated women so much that he killed them. Many rap songs are misogynist because they promote violence against women when they don't submit to male authority. I would never kill a woman or force her to do anything that she was not comfortable with and I can't stress that enough. If anything, I'd protect a woman in that situation from being abused or killed. I would owe them that much debt in that case, as they would be fellow human beings in need. And if they felt a need to love me, I'd accept it but the main issue is trust.

That being said, I see these Valentine's commercials in which these men pay for these obligatory gifts like diamond rings- which are themselves overinflated rocks mined in some of Africa's most oppressive countries with the money used to proplong the suffering of many individuals- and it does make me wonder if it's worth it to have a girlfriend.

Gold-digger =/= girlfriend. I personally am really uncomfortable when people spend money on me.

Don't you see the problem here? You are taking stereotypes you see in popular media and projecting them onto the entire population in question. It need not be explained why this is idiotic.

[Kaamos]

Oh man, bideo gaems, get killed by one enemy just as another drops health. FUCK. Hey let's drop two bosses in a fucking tiny ass corridor while other guys shoot the fuck out of you and drop grenades on your ass.

Also, sword to face = ~1/4 health damage, rifle butt to the face = ~1/2 health damage + knockback. What the fuck.

and is there a trick to just quick editing a post on the same page? It's like, sometimes it just lets me quick edit, but the majority of the time it tosses me into the advanced editor.

Yet there has to be a reason why these advertisements continue to make money for the advertisers. And why Twilight is such a huge success, even as it misses however many waves of feminism there has been. No matter how much we men hate these anti-feminist ads and books (especially the ones telling us how treating money like fertilizer is attractive), they continue to move products so there must be some element of truth to them. In spite of all this talk about women wanting independence for their own lives, the success of the Twilight series, in which all the interesting, well-rounded characters are exclusively male and all the flat, overly submissive characters (and readers) are exclusively female, tells a different story. The series doesn't have a Rogue or a Uhura or a Hermione Granger who is going to take initiative- no we end up with the lead female being a housewife to an asexual vampire. In spite of all these stories about women being unique and perhaps wanting practical gifts, the diamond ring being presented as the very expensive panacea to cure a man his singleness tells a different story. And in spite of all these news stories I read about women wanting to advance, three days a week I go into a Trigonometry class of two dozen students and see only five female students the whole time I'm there. It can't be THAT difficult to accomplish.

[TechnoGypsy]

I find myself with twelve desktops.
Yep, dual monitors with Deskspace (Which gives each screen six desktops which rotate on a cube)

What to do with them all...

[AlexInsane]

Depressed.

[Kaamos]

Depressed.

Kifflom.

You are happy, you just don’t know it - FACT!

[Sarcastic Coffeecup]

In school, hour before the class starts

[AlexInsane]

Kifflom.

You are happy, you just don’t know it - FACT!

If someone happy came near me I'd give them a good kick in the ass.

[Ayeaka]

Well.
Fuck my morning.

I get up, wash my hair... and get ready to dry it.

I notice an odd glow.
The hairdryer begins to shoot sparks.
I didn't burn myself, thankfully, or light my hair up, but FUCK. So, I'm now wearing a winter hat in an effort to force my hair to NOT frizz up and curl like mad while it dries.
x-x
I like having short hair, but fuckkkkk

Going out to eat at a buffet when I've been feeling sick lately was a stupid idea.
Fiance and I wanted to just do this before Valentines, because our only mode of transportation was going to be busy for the actual day.
In the end, I had maybe ONE plate. Didn't even fill it that much, and didn't eat much on it. Which is weird for me, because I can go through like 3-5 FULL plates, no problem. Couldn't even drink my tea, before I started feeling so sick to my stomach.
Fiance got full, though. Which is good. At least it wasn't a complete waste of our money. And at least we got out and did something different.

[Gavrill]

Pretty sure one of the rats I got came to me sick. I've separated her and will take her back to the rescue today. I would offer to foster her but with a dog, a kid, and sporadic transportation, I don't really feel comfortable doing that.
The other rats are fine from what I can tell. I rearranged the cage last night to give them more things to play with and hide in and they seem to be enjoying themselves (I'm pretty sure if my lack of sleep is any indication).

Rats are really exhausting, especially when you want to create GIANT SENSORY WONDERLANDS.

All of the restaurants except for McDonald's are overcrowded, meaning that if you get a craving for Pad Thai, sushi, or German sausage on this day, Lord help you trying to find a seat at one of the high-end restaurants, all congested by a bunch of people who celebrate this stupid holiday. And you can't go the grocery store to pick up food the day before either because every single male in the city is picking up their gifts at the local stores. And then there's all those diamond commercials which give me the impression that no matter what girlfriend I have, she will absolutely need a thousand-dollar African-imported rock to be satisfied. I don't see the value in these stupid rocks, these needless stuffed animals holding hearts, the need for plagiarizing a Shakespearean sonnet (give the Bard some respect) every single year. I don't like the thought of guys having to buy their girlfriends' loyalty every year, as though this one day is supposed to make up for an entire year of thanklessness. But then again, I'm male and there is no redeeming quality in this overpriced holiday anyway but I can't find any women who agree with me that they hate Valentine's too. We're the ones who have to pay for this stupid thing.

you seem like a charming person

Inflation down my arse!

The bank of England just pumped £50 billion in QE into a shrinking economy, and they want us to believe inflation is going down?

What's a few million deaths because developing nations cannot afford the pharmaceutical companies price tags, when there are patents to protect?

I just Googled my real name 20 minutes ago. Top result was a discussion on generalanytopic by some girl that knew me in middle school. 'Social leper' I was called. 'I guess he hasn't gone psycho and killed anyone' etc... Since 2006, this has been floating around the internet. No wonder a job is so hard to find.
I want to hunt her down and kick out her cunt fangs.

Fucking hell. At least try to call her or contact her in some way if you know how and sort this shit out with her, she shouldn't be able to get away with something like that.

You could report the thread to an admin on that site? They should remove it but by now it's probably on all the internet archives (I don't think the archives turn up in search results though). I dunno, that seems like a very serious thing right there.

[Gibby]

Try do what Dreaming said, Kit.

Anyway, I Googled myself and I am so glad that it all directs to completely different people with the same name.

It's Valentine's day and I have no one to claim as my valentine. :c
