So my friends and I walk around the halls, nor.al right? Today when we pass my locker, my friend notices a paper taped to my locker. So, I took it off and looked at it.

...Who the fuck tapes a detailed drawing of a vagina to someone's locker...?

dicks?
 
I don't understand why people expect salad bars to be covered by glass, but are fine with freshly baked goods being out in the open in a shop aisle to be touched and sneezed on.
At least you can wash salad ...

Sneeze guards need to be used for everything food related. And sterile gloves.

Perhaps the guard is actually to stop the salad drying out, by keeping the cold moist air trapped around it.

Bread and croissants don't need to be kept psuedo-refrigerated.

Why my husband askes for milk and cookies whiles hes playing video games. 10 mins later I go downstairs to the kitchen to get these milk and cookies only to hear "I dont want them anymore, you took to long" Really? 10 mins is 'to long'? Exuse me, you know we dont have tivo. My fucking bad for waiting for the show I was watching to get to commercial. Wouldnt be a big deal cuz I would have eaten them, but I cant due to the fact I dont drink milk. I can put the cookies back, but pouring milk back into the carton is a huge pain in the ass. Im not made of funnels goddammit. Fuck.

He wants you frustrated so that you'll be rougher tonight. Duh. ^^

Here's something I don't understand: offices. Given advances in communications and portable technology, what is the economic value of an office?

I don't understand whether I should be flattered or offended that somebody took the time to create a Twitter account based on the main character of my story (cool) and point out inconsistencies while saying that nobody cares about anything I do (ouch). I don't know who did this, so I don't know if it's just a friend with a twisted sense of humor or just a troll that wants to make me sink :/

Obviously s/he cares about what you do in order to make a Twitter account.

What you can do is look at the inconsistencies and then fix them, then tweet back, "Thanks for the critique" or something like that.

I just don't get it when I put a picture of rabbit on my FA and it gets more hits than half of the art works! Either I am not a good artist or people really like the bunnies!?!?????

It is a fact that the population of the internet is naturally attracted to cute animals, funny animals, funny people and people that fail at life. so it's probable that the bunny picture activated the "OMGSOCUUUTE" part of their brain which would explain the high amount of hits

Tumblr social justice
Tumblr's need to be offended by everything
Tumblr (and the world) needing to find every imperfection of a person and hating them for it even if they're completely okay otherwise. People aren't perfect, everyone makes mistakes or says something completely uncalled for or terrible now and then. Everyone. Be mad, sort it out, move on.

Actual rapable beings are more relevant on fa than drawings of said rapable beings.

Well, all inconsistencies are adressed at a moment or another, so that's not a real problem. Also, it is quite fun to interact with what basically amounts to your own Frankenstein's monster ^^ The only thing that really gets me is the account's description saying that nobody cares about the story, even me. Because spending 2 days nearly without thinking about anything else to the point I neglect nearly everything else proves that I don't care about my story, yeah right...

... I'm prolly overly sensible ^^'

I don't get it...

First, a bit of background on my country:

Spain (Yes, the european country) is having a really tough recession due to the "2007 Breakdown" of the US Real State Bubble. When it bursted, we seriously thought that the breakdown would only last a few days. But the real drama begins when in 2008 the Country of Spain declared itself that it was going to rescue the banks La Caixa and Banesto. (Two small banks, known as cajas, which are most of the holders of the saving accounts of Cataluña [a region of Spain] and the Canary Islands[another region of Spain]) What amazes me is that the credits, far from being paid, are being repratiated from South America (The low level of Interprofesional Minimum Wage is also going down everywhere) to the Spaniards to pay for it. We don't have money, and this is tolling on us. On top of that, we are discovering every day secret deals with real state constructors and business-men and business-women that paid "b money" to get special perks on the construction emplacements. Now that the "gold rush" is over, where did all that humongous amount of money go?

Here is my two cents. Why do we need to still pay all the banks with our tax money?

People who get all weird and yiffy IRL. Like the human embodiments of Gaia's Furry Den. What the heckie is with that?

Rappers' behaviours and stuff. I like stuff like this but I sure as hell don't understand it.

I also don't understand these gals at my school who have a load of flamboyant gay friends, and some dude was caught asking another guy out the other day and they started spreading the word that he was gay and I'm just sat there like: "What the fuck?"
If it was their friend in the position then they wouldn't exactly do that would they? Combined with the fact they insult the gay dude (homophobic insults and such) who was outed by them, and he has had minimal interaction with them during our tenure at the place just makes it worse.

Kinda makes me glad I'm saving my coming out until college. (UK college)

What you can do is look at the inconsistencies and then fix them, then tweet back, "Thanks for the critique" or something like that.
Professionalism is the best way to go about it. Keep your cool and don't let them get to you. Since childhood I've had this major fear of people disliking me and I'm always wondering what people think of me and stuff. And if the person gives me a criticism I freak. As difficult as it is, you've just gotta say "Thanks for the critique!" or something along those lines. It's somewhat easier on the internet though.

Yup ^^ I usually do that anyway with most critiques, especially if they're constructive. Actually it is the first time in my three years writing I face such a situation, so it was kinda awkward, but it looks like the guy did just a one time joke. Haven't seen him pop up since.

Edit : okay, he popped back up and straight up called me "autistic". That's it, he's getting the boot. Whoever was behind clearly wasn't there to have fun but to attack me...

Bank money isn't owned or owed by fat bankers in tophats and monocles. The money they lent out on crappy loans was money that was deposited as saviings by other normal people. Also, banks are typically publicly owned, meaning stocks, and many of those stocks are included in mutual funds, and also owned by regular people as part of their retirement account. So, if banks are taken out, normal people's savings and retirements will be taken out too. Everything is very entertwined I'm afraid :(


Thing I don't understand is people's urge to be stuck to a particular piece of land. This ranges from people who just don't want to move when things go bad, to people who practice outright extremist nationalism ("Our country is #1!!!" "Why?" "Fuck you! *physical violence*). If the area has seriously went to shit, get up and move. There's plenty of room on this planet. Why dig in your feet and want to ride it out, or feel ashamed as if you are betraying your patch of dirt by moving away?

(Called my childhood friend in Kiev, who is now a single mom with an 8yo, and no income because she works as a realestate saleswoman with no realestate sales in this situation, and offered to bring her to US for "vacation" for a month or two until it blows over. She refused and wants to sit it out.)

2 plausible reasons : either it is because they attach memories and stuff to the place they live in and can't leave it all behind that easily, or it just is the fear of not being able to survive, be it lack of funds or the lack of jobs they might be qualified enough to apply in.

If I knew I had a job opportunity that is 95% guaranteed to happen, I'd move from where I live... Buuuut seeing as how I can't even live on my own for I don't earn more than 100 euros/month (nope, I didn't miss any 0), well... I'm stuck...
