Just a Horse Trying to Avoid Life's Manure
ugh why is it so hard for people to pull through it seems. Since I've been here, over the last couple of months I have had like 10 people ask or volunteer to do art for me. One person did it actually, @Eyleifr I'm not talking about you, you have kept communication up, but the other people ask for all my info ask for a couple of updates then stop when they get to me in the list and walk away, some for a month plus without a word. A majority of it was volunteered to me, Not like I went and asked/ begged them to do it so I'm not going to go be like hey come on, on something that's free, If I was paying that would be another story. I just would really like to update my OC art and page art.. LOL, or am I crazy after 4-6 weeks for some of it to expect at least an update

Well, situations are different, and I admit that interest in other people's OCs may be "selfish" in nature. People can be very kind to you if to watching them.

I'm really very uncomfortable that you've been waiting for art for so long. It doesn't matter if it's free or not, but that's my nature, I have to change my activities, and if drawing becomes ineffective, I have to switch to something else, for example, embroidery.
This year I can't buy gifts, so I have to try to make 3 satin-stitch embroideries, finish a couple of drawings and make a movable toy (I hope my friend will give me a wire and a sintepon for this).
I'm not talking about portraits, which I also want to do by the end of December.
There are too many people who I want to little happy.

I just want to be able to help people. Leave good advice, help those who are down, pull friends out of bad places/choices. But I can’t! No matter how much I try to be kind to get people to like me so I can be a positive change in their life I’ve never once been able to.

That's not true. You have made an enormous impact on my life.

I’m so sorry, hon. It’s never easy.
For what it’s worth, I believe you and your family made her feel loved, and that’s all a dog asks for. Be as kind to yourself when thinking back on your time together as she would be.

It’s a vicious circle. Subway/commuter rail in Europe and in the US (at least around Boston) are worlds apart in some ways. I’ve been told the trains used on Boston rail are retired European trains, and having ridden them, I can well believe it. I don’t get motion sick on rail normally, but in Boston…

Aside from the US car culture being in direct competition with passenger rail (and the cars are definitely well in the lead and then some, there), the less comfortable and convenient the rail is, the fewer people want to use it. The fewer people that use it, the more the operators want to cut costs, which is liable to make it less comfortable and less convenient.

Rail could be a more attractive option than it’s currently considered to be, but getting it there would entail big investments and years of operating at a loss before possibly overcoming inertia. People would rather drive or fly because that’s the options they’re used to considering, even if the rail was upgraded to affordable luxury transportation tomorrow.

I was in Boston recently, and I thought the subway was alright. My only point of comparison is British trains though, which are famed for not being as good as European ones.

Boston's subway is quite complex. Glasgow, in the UK, has a similar population and solved their subway transport like this:

Light rail systems in those older cities are sometimes complex because cities grow and they have to reroute, or decommission/rebuild, and they don't necessarily want to toss out all of the old routing. Newer light rail like California's Metrolink is simpler but it's aboveground and it's still got problems.

I don’t know if they’ve upgraded in the last few years, but if they haven’t, my condolences to Brits for having to deal with that jerky, shuddering disaster of public transit. It’s probably also up to who is driving the particular train, but I recall it being, well… high seas, figuratively speaking.

I really truly hate players in games who act non-competitively and unsportsmanlike. I cannot even begin to guess the number of players who've joined empty servers or areas to try to fight me in games like Red Orchestra 2 and PlanetSide 2. Don't even start with "he just wants to play with a human" because there's other servers with more players and he's got 180+ ping. The prick just wants an easy mark who can't handle a pro player.

Normally I try my damnedest to avoid abusing other players, especially those of a notably lower skill/experience bracket. We all know what it's like to be wrecked by some untouchable master. I also refrain from using broken and overpowered things that aren't fun to play against, because I sure as shit don't appreciate playing against them either. However, when some asshole comes on to my otherwise empty server to bother me while I mow down bots I make sure as shit to slap him seven ways from Sunday and pull out no stops until he fucks off to some place else. You picked the wrong server fool. Maybe next time that douchebag will think twice about trying to bully solo players.

Moderately unrelated, I fucking hate computers. I birthed this mechanical creature with my own two hands, gave it life and purpose, and yet with it's first and final acts it defies me so. Truly to create is to suffer. :p

I personally don't care how bad someone else can play. I would like to just play and have fun. But others for some reason believe that shitting on (voice) chat your team for more than half an hour is a great motivation and pastime. I hate these assholes.

I know I sat down to do something, but I cannot remember even the slightest hint of what that thing was. Brain be like “durr DROP TABLE Actions;” and I have no recourse because brains don’t get database backups.

I heard a funny story about how some guy rubbed his face with makeup and went to church. There holy water got on his face and his face began to "smoke" (the man knew about this property). Naturally, when it started, he started screaming and behaving like a demon possessed. All the grannies and priests began to be baptized like crazy. Hilarious.
