I'm more surprised the people I went to school with haven't done so by now.

I know I probably shouldn't say that, but regarding my school acquaintances, I'm actually hoping for such things to happen. Most of the classmates I had throughout the years were the shittiest people. I'm gonna leave it at that.

On another note, I need to vent some stuff and I'll try to make it "short". I figured I needed to warn people before they spend money on the works of this guy.
I've been a Kickstarter backer since the beginning for "The Northerner", an orchestral symphony created by Jeremy Soule, composer of videogame soundtracks such as the Elder Scrolls game series and Everquest. So, he's supposed to be one of the big ones. Everyone knows how Skyrim's main theme goes, and I've got to say he's pretty good. Not fantastic, but he's composed some really catchy tunes.
Unfortunately for him, he's a fraud and an asshole.
His Kickstarter got 10 times the money he initially needed for his new album. The CDs were supposed to be released in september 2013. September 2013!! At first Mr Soule gave a lot of updates until it suddenly became very quiet and the delays (and the excuses for why they happened) started rolling in. He said he was working at the Skywalker Ranch, since he wanted to create his music in one of the best environments he saw fit. Thus, he needed some more organisation and planning.
Nothing wrong with that, but his updates ranged from bi-weekly to monthy to almost none anymore. Later, he had some kind of writers' block and delayed the score because he "needed inspiration", and some more delays happened. His agency tried to do some damage control in the comments, but eventually they backed out too. Mr Soule didn't say a word. Now, the only thing you hear from him are copy-pasted notes from his work (maybe?). None of the backers care about that, and it's been a shitstorm in the comments for at least two years. And despite all that, it's still not finished. I've bought three CDs for an amount of 100€ total because I wanted to gift one of them to my best friend (who loves Elder Scrolls games and her birthday's in september) and to my boyfriend. It seemed to be a good idea at the time, but it's become a massive let-down. And the more I think about Mr Soule's works, the more I think he's just an arrogant overhyped second-rate composer.
Because if that wasn't enough, he's also a twat on Facebook. I managed to befriend him on FB when he told fans that whoever wanted to join his site could add him as a friend and he'd approve. For one, his dismissal of Nintendo's music as "beep boop sounds straight out of the 80's" rubs me the wrong way because it's just a way for him to make himself look better than he is, like he's the greatest composer this side of the earth. He apparently didn't know that Nintendo have long started to use orchestral music in their games, which just makes him look dumb and uninformed. People even got angry in the Facebook comments…yeah, let that sink in for a bit.
Also, Mr Soule betrayed his fans even more that day when it was clear that he was mostly working on the new Everquest (that got scrapped in the end anyway) instead of his own Kickstarter project. What will he tell us next? It's better than nothing?
That, coupled with his insufferable arrogance, makes me hate this guy's guts. And I know as soon as the CDs will be shipped out, I'll sell them on eBay for double the price. I simply don't care anymore. Rotten bastard.

Well, This later weeks have been very very very DIFFICULT for me.
Im in my 4th cycle in my college, studying Digital Animation, and i have been struggling for advances my grades, Well as i m in a group that are working in an animated short, i had difficulties of some things, like the frickin programs like toon boom harmony, that i had many problems for installing (Like not recognize the license) and i have been working in my institute/ college in hours. To vary, im struggling also in good drawing, as i retaking the practicing of drawing, later of months that i didnt make, maybe for lack of time or make other things like 3d modeling, some parts of my frames are very inconsistent to the level of ''Off-Model'' and also with problems with some parts of frames with the Timing.
Yeah although i have very interest in animation, i have some difficults, specially with my lesser experience with this things. And i have very tenseness myself for make a very PERFECT rough animation. And even i was very lackadaiscal with my outside with this things.
Maybe the next summer i will going to the thing of make flash animation or webcomics to be more on this. And also practicing MORE and MORE.
Sorry if my english is not very good, im latin american, and im slow learning in english.

So a while back on this site we had a thread which talked about how someone posing as a Nintendo employee was making false copyright claims on Tumblr against lewd fanart. Despite various artists confirming the claims are false and they were able to get things back in order, this asshole poser is still going at it and making people spread false allegations that Nintendo is deleting porn blogs. Chances are good this poser is either 1) a "white knight" fanboy trying to "protect [his] waifus" or 2) a troll with an anti-Nintendo agenda whose trying to create discourse by targeting artists who do the type of art Nintendo wouldn't even comment on in the first place, and the moment he sees these people complain on Twitter he doubles down to try and make things harder.

Not only is it annoying that this poser is doing this in the first place, but the fact he's actually managed to be successful at it by making some artists unintentionally spread false information is also quite bad.

EDIT:

Okay in order to make this post something actually keeping in this thread, another thing I need to vent is that my previously mentioned issues with anxiety seem to only be getting worse. Today I nearly had a really bad nervous breakdown. Taking a nap kinda helped, but I still felt anxious enough that I took my meds early. I fucking hate this feeling.

I really hate these things

Why do these things pop up on my suggested videos? So what some of these Rule 34/Minecraft/MLP/etc. pics complication things are "cringey" because you don't like it? How come it's mostly FNAF, Minecraft,MLP,SU fandom "cringe"? Doesn't almost all fandoms do it?

And the comments should get off their damn high horse and use that stupid "No True Scots Man" crap about being on a SU fan, you don't tell who is and isn't based on a drawing. I really hate some of the comments are made by users with anime avatars coughcoughhentaiavatars, it's stupid hypocritical coming from these types of people.

Oh I hope this video is made by a troll.

I hate when I'm in a good mood most of the day and near the end of it there's one random thing that makes me feel "blech." Today everything started off good with Nintendo Switch and Red Dead Redemption 2 being revealed, and the rest of the day was mostly laid back, but then I go on Twitter and see so much random negativity that ended up just bumming me out somehow. Now nothing severe of course, this isn't another one of my "anxiety moments" (which I get the feeling some people are sick of hearing about), but it was enough to make me go "bleh, I really need to limit where I go on Twitter."

I understand you completely. On that matter, the Youtube comment section still is the worst thing to have ever happened. It doesn't matter if a lot of posts underneath a video are well written, intelligent, funny or what have you, there's bound to be comments so cancerous that it instantly puts a damper on my mood, and I'm not talking about trolls or simple bait.
Adding to that, the amount of negative nancies consistently and expectedly hating on all things Nintendo can get me riled up so much, especially these past few months what with the whole Metroid FF and Paper Mario "controversies" fans of the series just can't let go of. They have some ground to stand on and some well thought out arguments to make, but not for this long, good God!
Not just that, but with the Switch revealed, how are people still not tired of their never-ending "Nintendo is doomed" shtick? How are they not tired of being wrong all the time? Nintendo must've gone broke at least a hundred times now as much as people have been "prophesizing" (or more accurately "dreaming about") their demise. It's okay to have doubts, it's okay to talk about the Switch's pros and especially the cons, and it's also okay to not like something or not feel strongly one way or the other.
I'm glad that a good majority of gamers (at least the one that's not shooting Big N down immediately) seems to be interested, a small percentage either is very cautious (understandable) or doesn't care (fine by me). But the ones going out of their way by being the most idiotic cunts towards Nintendo and Nintendo fans are most likely either part of a dedicated hatedom or they're simply X-Box/Playstation/PC fanboys. About the former group: Have fun wasting so much energy on something you hate instead of, you know, having a life. It's nice to know you feel validated by random internet strangers who would willingly dox you the moment they find out you like something they hate! And about the latter group: How much of a fucking retarded tool has someone have to be to still actively contribute to the so-called "console war"? It's stupid, it's childish, it's brats like you that poisoned the well, forever. Assholes.

Kind of a minor vent, but I had to put it down somewhere:

It bothers me when people complain about relatively minor scientific inaccuracies in sci-fi that clearly doesn't care about absolute scientific accuracy in the first place. Like, sometimes you'll see people complaining about how there's sound in space in Star Wars – so you're okay with space wizards, laser swords, faster-than-light travel, planet-destroying beams, and single-biome planets, but sound in space is where you draw the line?

Only because a recent South Park brought it up as well, it bugs me when I see people doing this thing where they constantly insist "Star Wars Episode 7 wasn't that good, it was just a total rehash." Look I won't deny the Episode 4 parallels are there, but come on would you rather have a good movie that acts as sort of a soft reboot and is more in line with the feeling of the original trilogy, or something that instead tries to do what the Prequels did and end up with a mediocre offering that feels so different from what you remember it feels like it would have been better off as something without the Star Wars name? (I've personally maintained a mentality that when it comes to the Prequels the movies were mediocre to "kinda decent" [I won't deny Episodes 1 and 3 had their moments] but the extra stuff like the cartoon series and video games were usually great)

Honestly no offense if you're one of these people but I get confused when people care about lyrics. Like it shouldn't bother me I try to be really open about music since I know it's one of if not the most wildly subjective art-form out there but I can't help but feel weird about it.

My whole life I've listened to a lot of instrumental music and also vocal music that's just straight up cheesy or the lyrics are supposed to be incoherent, they're in a foreign language, etc. I know some people, actually a surprising amount, who put a lot of importance on vocal music. Some people can only enjoy music with "good lyrics" or can't even enjoy listening to anything without words.

This perception to any degree bothers me for some reason. Like even if someone just says "well written lyrics make me like a song a little" more I get confused my musical upbringing makes this seem alien. It shouldn't bother me because I know everyone gets different joys from music. Like I like OST partially because of that extramusical association where not only is the music good but it gives you that emotional connection to what it's supposed to play for or even something you imagine it'd play for. Music a lot of the times gets enjoyment from stuff that's not the music itself and I understand that yet the lyric thing still bothers me.

Maybe something subconsciously is telling me liking lyrics is a pretentious thing to do? It makes sense because a lot of people who I meet who care about lyrics say they like it "deep" but honestly I've never really heard overly deep or moving music off of the words alone. Most of the stuff I hear people call deep is really emo stuff which imo isn't really that deep every emo song has like the same message usually how is that deep.

And this feeling makes me feel guilty too like what I just said above is making me feel guilty because now I'm being pretentious and elitist about what subjective pleasures people get from music from me thinking they're the elitist ones and it's a cycle. I really don't like musical elitism as I said earlier in this thread but I'm probably no less guilty of it than anyone else.

@Fortune

About Star Wars 7, even the first time I saw it I felt it left kind of a sour taste in my mouth. I guess it's because I'm not much of a Star Wars fan at all so it's harder to please me but something felt off. Like the ending felt like a giant awkward tone shift and a lot of it just didn't sit right just tonally it's hard to explain. And I did immediately notice it was recycled. Yeah it was better than the prequels but I'd honestly rather it try to be new. At least we have the Anthologies and 8 and 9 to recover from that.

Like I found 7 to basically be "okay". I don't even like rewatching it much I saw it like 3 times in the past year and that was excessive. 4-6 though I can watch pretty regularly. The prequels I'd rather never touch, maybe 3 occasionally? And yeah I agree that the prequels did have a good world and concept just not done right in the films. Games and clone wars did what could have been done correctly.

Compared to others, my adolescence has been a particularly… unique challenge.

I have been a Navy Brat up until this year, and I've been homeschooled since 1st grade, and from other factors I have not been outside my own house often. And since my pre-teens I have for longer-than-not lived with the extended family of my sister, brother-in-law, and their growing childern.

At one point; Between me, my siblings, my parents, and an aunt and counsin which have live with us too for a while; there were so many of us crammed together as an extended family living in the house that we had to turn the basement into a shared bedroom. It was an unusual life at that point, but I was happy back then rather than lonely; That was when I first got online, had a lot of fun starting to browse on youtube, playing games online, and posting on this very website forum five years ago.

But two years ago, me and my extended family moved out of the suburb neighborhood our lil'house was in and into this "middle of no where" rural area in a larger house and beautiful woods, It has enough room to now hold what is now 12 of us and our pets but because of the exact plot of land we're in: we couldn't and still can't get boardband internet here.

There's no fiber-optic cable we can access, and the woods hinders our connection to signal towers, so we're reliant on band-width limited satellite internet. Because of this, two of my most significant hobbies of online video and online gaming are basically restricted.

It hasn't been easy living like that. But I became more aware about my life and where I'm going; I had dived into learning about political and social matters, philosophy and cognitive bias, writing and story, playing music, and I grown to become stronger and more responsible. But now, I just feel like everyday is the same, that I'm trapped here, and spending a lot of my enengy trying to understand my feelings about while also numbing and distracting from my negative emotions, it feels so complicated trying to explain it.

I love both art and science. For my university course I'm doing CS. I love me some readin and writin and technology? DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED. But I'm worried that my comprehension is not as good as I'd like it to be and I'm worried about that. I constantly have to rewind parts of documentaries I watch or ask someone to explain a sentence they just said.

Am I just slow? I took this IQ test a while back and I'm a 120 (slightly superior) so why am I struggling to understand people? Don't IQ tests measure academic intelligence? What am I doing wrong? This lack of understanding keeps me from being able to stay engaged with whatever I'm reading or writing and it's really wearing me down :,( Does anyone else have this problem? I want to learn but it's so hard when something just sound like words strung together meaninglessly.

You might have a learning disorder. IQ doesn't determine something like that. Maybe you should mention this to a professional?

Yeah, I really hate those types of elitist dicks as well. They might as well be wearing "NO FUN ALLOWED" t-shirts.

While I will also hold the opinion that the prequels ranged from mediocre to "not bad, but could'e been a whole lot better", and I will also admit that there are quite a few Episode IV parallels as well, it just seems that people are complaining about the new movies (or any new Star Wars material in general), because "it's not the originals" (and don't get me started on the ones who've been on /pol/ way too much, and claiming certain things in the films are because of "SJWs"). It's the same thing with everything Star Wars-related, even great stuff like the Clone Wars TV Series (the CGI one, which got really good later on), and the new Star Wars: Rebels cartoon. Besides, about 70% or more of the franchise is either calling back or referencing the original films ("I've got a bad feeling about this" is basically a series staple at this point). It's either "it's too different" or "it's just the same" with these types of fanboys/fangirls.

Not to mention a lot of the purists shit on the new fans getting into Star Wars, especially the ones who are introduced to the franchise via the prequels, the new TV shows, or Episode VII, and may God protect you if you say that you enjoy the new Expanded Universe over the old one, or say that you like them both (though, considering Grand Admiral Thrawn has been reintroduced in the New EU, and the rumors of the rights to Mara Jade being acquired and how they have plans for Boba Fett, I don't think Disney has completely thrown the old one out the window, because those guys are too much of a goldmine to do away with).

Ironically, even if they claim people "only like it for nostalgia", it seems that the purists insisting that pretty blinded by nostalgia themselves.

See that many are talking about how many people talk very vocally in the internet recently (with nostalgia and hate bias), im also very tired with this thing, with some ''experts'' bitching the new things are not like the old ones, the ''poser'' fan are ruining everything, that they change some work, etc. I have been endured with this things since im in the internet, doesnt help that many of this are trolls right now. And the worst of all this has been going since the early years of the internet.
Some people in this site have talked about this hate nonsense in internet, and sadly sometimes happens in this site. Although its in spanish the video talks many things that are very accurate with this situations (although the comments are very toxic, its youtube) .

I am sick to death of this blasted country. Cardiff is cold and boring, I have to wait 8 more days till my flight back home.

The UK has so much advanced technology yet life here feels like everyone is constantly staring at you. There's no open space, and I feel useless.

All I've been doing is using my laptop day and night hoping to browse away the week till I can go home. This street is so ugly, the apartment is nice but cramped.

I miss home so much. I miss walking along quiet suburban streets and all the open yards and space. I miss my dog and friends. I just want some room. I'm tired of sitting, and waiting, and writing things down, and staring at computers. I want to read a flipping book, hang with friends, just be free.

Stop taking me to birthday parties to people who's names I don't know

You wouldn't want strangers dragged by your friends into the party.

I feel like I’ve been a bad person. I was mean about most of the things I’ve said and generally been too tired all the time to even acknowledge some people, there are other things too but you get the point, I’m sorry everyone.

I hate it when people rag endlessly on religion. As a reasonably religious person I can ignore it most of the time (turn the other cheek, right? myeh-heh) but since the internet is home to many with anti-religious sentiment it's difficult to ignore the crowds of people shouting "EVERYTHING WOULD BE BETTER IF RELIGION NEVER EXISTED. RELIGIOUS PEOPLE ARE PREDISPOSED TOWARDS VIOLENCE AND ARE LITERALLY HITLER." It hurts me because I consider myself a nice person and some of the nicest, coolest people I know are religious or part of the clergy. Who these people are ragging on are fundamentalists and televangelists, people who are FAR removed from regular, nice religious people.
Oh, and the self-righteousness! "Man, if atheists ruled the world, it would be so cool! Science would flourish, everyone would get a jetpack, war would not exist and literally every problem that humans face would disappear because they didn't exist before Jesus was born, amirite?!" No it wouldn't, you dumbass. Remember the USSR? That gigantic, dystopic superpower that Western civilization fought for decades? They were atheists (at least in theory) and it was really shitty there. Science stagnated because it didn't fit in with the party line, starvation was rampant, and people were getting murdered by the secret police CONSTANTLY. They weren't exempt from basic flaws affecting humanity just because they didn't believe in God, so don't go around telling people that there would be utopia if we only burned down every church and synagogue. Atheism is a way of thinking just like religion is, so you are still susceptible to idiocy even if you think you're hot shit. Only when everyone decides to be a good person will we see utopia, not when everyone blindly accepts an ideology supported by unemployed neckbeards who can't get laid.

And stop worshiping George Carlin! He'd be disgusted by what modern atheism turned into! I bet that if he were alive, he'd dedicate most of his routines to making fun of you.

I am now pretty much done with self-deprecation. It's stale, it's unfunny, and it does nothing for anyone, least of all the person doing it. Going on social media (specifically Tumblr) and seeing one in every ten posts being "I'm trash" or "I want to die" is not good for my mental health and I think it may be actually exacerbating my depression, which was actually approaching 100% manageable until the 2016 election really kicked off, combined with other stress-inducing factors out of my hand that concern nobody here. All these posts about being unproductive, unmotivated and perpetually exhausted? They weren't relatable to me before, but they are now. All these shitposts about being suicidal? Becoming closer to reality. Perhaps I'm just falling into the trap of seeing the past with rose-tinted glasses, and ignoring the undercurrent of oppression for the majority of non-white people in the past (and present) but at least in the past people had the good sense to ignore everything bad in the world, because it's just so huge and scary-looking that today everybody in the whole world is so depressed about it that nobody has the energy to do anything at all about it or anything else. Is there a way to find people who don't want to die, people who still like people and don't pray daily for the extinction of the human species, who don't hide their faults behind stale memes and overdone shitposts? I'd like to find that place, and leave social media for good when I do, because the Internet is now nothing more than a gigantic echo chamber for negativity, so much so that all positivity in real life has been strangled and we're left with nothing but rage and vitriol. When everything is exaggerated – "THIS mildly mediocre GAME MAKES ME WANT TO PROJECTILE VOMIT BLOOD", "PEOPLE WHO BRING CRYING BABIES IN MOVIE THEATERS OUGHT TO BE TAKEN OUT AND SHOT BY A DEATH SQUAD" "This election, I am writing in EXTINCTION AND DEATH TO THE WHOLE HUMAN RACE", etc. – there's no room for real emotion. I want nothing more than to peel off all this bile that's caked on to me so I can be me, not just another shitpost regurgitator, and then hide behind some sort of barrier so I can pretend everything's hunky dory in the world because I can do nothing about it. Where are your souls, you pathetic cretins? What has the Internet done to us? Awareness of the world? Awareness of the world is nothing but being trapped behind a glass pane, forced to watch innocents be slaughtered behind it. I love that one chart that says that there's less violence and war in the world than ever before, but because of the red-tinted glasses taped to my face I can't bring myself to believe it at all, even if I want to and my rational mind agrees completely, and even when I do I am convinced that it is the calm before the storm.

So what the hell? Who gives a shit? This rant changes nothing. The best thing to do at this point, I guess, is to join the hordes! There's nothing else I can do! I too will wish for death and pray for extinction every day! Blood for the Blood God, Skulls for the Skull Throne, and all that jazz.

Wew z3iro, didn't know you had that much edge in you.

Fuck cancer

My great aunt and uncle have exacerbated my anxiety and self-loathing. I have chosen to stay with my older sibling. My self-loathing has, sadly, also worsened but I feel I am finally on the correct path to recovery. ONE DAY LEFT, JUST. ONE. DAY LEFT. And I'll be free of this cold, suffocating apartment and back home. Back to the fields and my friends and family. I'll see my pet, and begin the proper path to recovery.

I was never abused by anyone but I never received the help I needed. I brought all of this upon myself but that still doesn't excuse the (very well-meaning) people around me from playing a part in scrambling my brain.

I still have to fix this mess. I like to think I'm fairly intelligent. Perhaps my behaviour has been a mere lack of direction. I now know (sort of) what I want to become. I want to one-day be both an artist and an intellectual in the field of computing and robotics (it may sound pretentious but it's true). I don't care about getting the worlds approval, I don't care if I don't """"""""stand-out""""""". The goal of life is to become an individual, it doesn't matter if you are still the same as others or unique so long as you are true to yourself. As long as I can live comfortably in peace, I've made it.

Lately, I've been feeling like a worthless piece of shit, which is hurting me constantly. I mean, I always felt that way, on some days more strongly than on others, but I don't think it has ever been this bad. This constant fear for the future is putting me down so much it stops me in my tracks. Unfortunately I'm not adept at all in socializing. I can't bring anyone to "get" me, so I've been feeling pretty lonely and misunderstood. It's worsened by my Asperger's (even though It's low-key enough to not be a major hindrance, I've known people with Asperger's that had it way more rough in comparison). The fact that I can't do anything by myself is aggravating this situation by a tenfold.
Till now I've been doing fine: I liked my job, I loved to joke around and communicate with my mom, I had fun with my friends. But now I'm just stressed out all the time, dislike my job, don't talk (as in real talk) with my mom anymore, and I've given up on one of my two (and only) best friends because I never hear anything from her and that's been driving me nuts these past months.
Sometimes I feel so empty inside I wish I'd just keel over and be done with life. I'm crying all the time. Being in this state is also my fault for not getting over myself and just do what I'm supposed to do. But it's become hard for me to do anything when I feel like I reek of failure on literally every front.

I'm fucking done with all the election bullshit on this site. I thought it would be over after the election actually happened, but it's been two days and it's only getting stronger.

I'm leaving until this shit blows over. See y'all in a week or two, assuming it's over by then.

I wish I could say I am sorry but the change had to come and I am the best at change there is. Unlike some people who can only talk about change but never deliver Barack Obama! It is time we took the world by the balls look it dead in the eyes and say "this country is going to be great again whether you like it or not!" Good luck with running from the world but meanwhile I am going to run at the world head on!

And on the topic of venting I am angry at everyone who ever got in my way ever. Animals!

I'm so angry at the Smash community. So sick and tired of them insulting non Melee players for not playing the damn game! I mean I love all the Smash, they are all amazing in different perspectives. Why does fanboys have to keep typing stupid "Tr4sh". No FUCK YOU! You probably don't play competitively and can't be bothered with new mechanics.

I know it's Twitch chat and all, but I'm about to get banned for starting a scuffle with a stupid fanboy who can't keep their shitty jokes to themselves. I can't do anything, I wish I was mod so I can ban these bastards who make these jokes. Probably too stupid to play any of the game.

Also, in bring up Smash itself. I really know that they know that Smash is and always be a party game, so there is no "true traditional fighting game"! I wish some fanboys didn't have a superiority complex on which Smash game you like and preferred to play.

I hate when people insult a foreigner's English spelling on Youtube, it's fucking stupid.Take this for example, a person that speaks a foreign language that's learning English, comments on a Youtube video, and get's bashed just for spelling mistakes. I fucking despise this so much that I want to fucking break my computer monitor.

I just came down a cold recently and this cold combined with stress from other things is a terrible combination.

Home has been wonderful but now I've realized my mental health problems have been far worse than I realized. Depression, self-loathing, anxiety and even thoughts of….."quitting". I just have to face facts at this point, I'm not well in the head; not like other people. I feel so isolated now and scared. All I can think to do is bury myself in research, school work and lyric-less music when my course starts.

It's honestly kinda comforting, admitting I'm "sick". I sometimes just wish I was some robot flying through space or a program tinkering away in some giant database without a care in the world free to just work and analyze data in peace and solitude.

Fucking mosquitoes. They should all fuck off and die.

The worst part about them is they don't register as very important to the ecosystem as a whole. They're just healthy snacks for predators such as spiders. That's IT.
I hate wasps and hornets just as much as mosquitoes, but at least they're predators and deal with pests (such as mosquitoes!) and therefore at least they're useful.

Especially when you're trying to sleep, because you've been working for 12 hours straight, but there's that one mosquito flying over your ear.

Im always very frustrating when i want to express myself about some theme or debate, and more if i And more when I do not know how I can talk before I think about what I should say, sometimes i only say few words and thats it. And more if this are very serious debates.

I wish people would stop saying this year is the worst. Yes, politics taking over memes is bad, but the repercussions won't last long, so there was not a single tragedy with an actually noteworthy effect. NMS is not noteworthy because it was just disapointment, not a really long lasting impact. The 2016 Orlando Nightclub Shooting didn't even have a real effect. Then there's celebrity deaths, yes it's sad that they died, but you're supposed get over it and move on with your life not dwell over it. Lasty they'll mention natural disasters, those didn't even have effect that lasted longer than a week. This year has been incredibly average!

And again I find myself unable to express a certain opinion I have only because the opinion in question is one I'm afraid will only make me something of a "target" for specific people. I wish I could stop being such a paranoid bitch.

GODDAMNIT IT'S THE WEEKEND I HAVE STUFF TO DO BUT I HAVE SO MUCH HOMEWORK FOR MY STUPID ONLINE CLASS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

People who constantly flaunt their "moral superiority" by sharing popular opinions and virtue signalling on social media are cancer.

Example of cancer: Back in May, a friend of mine, someone who I wish I could have gotten to know better committed suicide. This was a very heavy blow, not just for me, but to the people that were part of my competitive Smash Bros. scene. We held a tourney in his honor, where all proceeds went to a suicide prevention foundation (can't remember which one). I myself donated some extra money toward the cause, as it was the best thing I could do. Coming from someone who has had suicidal thoughts since junior high, the fact that I knew somebody that committed suicide was a heavy blow, and it made me think about what I could have done to prevent it from happening.

A few days ago, people on social media (mainly Facebook) kept posting status updates that were a "call to action" by copying the status message and posting it as yours so your friends could see it for "suicide awareness" and posting the suicide hotline number.

First off: Promoting suicide awareness is like promoting cancer awareness; unless you live under a rock, most people already know what suicide is.

Second: Posting that "call to action" as your status requires zero effort to do in the first place.

Third: Being suicidal is not something you just get over in a few days. The thoughts hang over your head constantly, and come into play when you feel miserable, especially when suffering from depression.

Fourth: People who are suicidal often think they are beyond help, as they often times are depressed and wallowing in their misery. You really think posting a status message with a phone number is going to do anything? If anything, if you know someone who is going through a rough time, especially when they are depressed or suicidal, TALK TO THEM YOU IGNORAMUS! Posting a status message with a phone number and "feel good" message is nothing but a passive statement that means very little to the people it is addressed to, and a way to only make yourself feel better about being a "morally great person." It is the absolute equivalent of when people put a French flag filter over their profile pic after the 2015 Paris attacks

Those who virtue signal and show off your moral superiority like you're flaunting your tits and ass, reevaluate your life choices and actually go out and make a difference. Otherwise, fuck off!

2 things that are kind of similar.

First is I hate meme elitists. Like on twitter this past week I saw it happen twice. Once for Kermit and once for Joe Biden. After Biden existed for 1 or 2 days and Kermit for literally half a day I started seeing people tearing them apart and saying they'd block people for posting them, saying they were never funny or have "overstayed their welcome", "uncreative", etc. It annoyed the hell out of me how it took literally no time for people to start acting up-tight about fucking memes get off your high horse. I saw the complaining as much as the actual Kermit memes at some point it's kind of crushing to see people who dislike others having fun so much. I understand and support hating Harambe memes at this point I mean that I understand, but a meme that's hours old? Christ stop being so entitled for once.

2nd is pretentiousness. Like real pretentiousness. In music class I learned about a "genre of music" if you can call any of it that where it ranged from the sounds of cactus spine plucking, to improvised clicks and shrieks, to a dude sitting at a piano timing a stopwatch and just sitting there in silence for like 4 minutes. I can't even comprehend what kind of person finds any joy from that. I don't hate you if you do I'm just deeply confused by it. Also I saw the other day an art exhibit where it was just pictures of objects photoshopped onto backgrounds, like a sloppy joe can over a sunset pier. WTF like why.

Another kind of pretentiousness is this one dude I know who is obsessed with pointing out so called deep stuff in books and movies. But he always tells me games can never have good stories and whenever a video game has something in it that's supposedly deep or a good plot twist he says "that's just dumb" because he has in his head games have to be dumb even if he saw the same thing in a movie he'd be clapping.

Every time I bite into a meal that's still too hot for my mouth I feel like God is punishing me

The subject of "unlicensed fan games" came up a while back on Twitter and how frankly yes it is a slippery slope situation. A bunch of people were calling those who pointed out said slippery slope "a bunch of apologists that need to fuck off" DESPITE THE FACT WE SOURCED THE FUCKING ATTORNEY WHO HELPED CREATE FUPA, you know that legal fund created for actual cases relating to fair use?

The tweet in question from him

Apologies for the double post since I can't edit my previous one, but oh gosh I just saw another stupid thing on Twitter I just wanna vent about. A guy on Twitter was talking about how FFXV got leaked early in some parts of the world and said "well at least they're not banning people from PSN like fucking Nintendo." The director of the game still said they were gonna be taking down any videos spoiling the game prior to release, and FFS those Sun/Moon pirates deserved to be banned because not only did they illegally acquire the game(s) but they were also total idiots who tried to connect to OFFICIAL GAME SERVERS BEFORE RELEASE!

People who get angry at family members for having suicidal thoughts or even after surviving an attempt are selfish and are part of the problem.

"Don't do this selfish thing" SELFISH!? No one gives a shit about how I'M FEELING. All they ever do is take your pain and make it about them. It's so fucking cruel and they don't even know it.

No one wants to die, we just want to stop hurting. When you are pushed to the edge, when your hopes and dreams are on the verge of being crushed and you know that no one may want you afterwards, all you can think of is running away because that's the only visible option.

To get to the point where you can casually sit at your desk and seriously think of "methods" without the slightest bit of horror at your own thoughts (hell, with a sense of PEACE), to actually practice these "methods" to wander whether you should chose life and see you psychiatrist and break this 15 year long cycle, or just risk whatever lies on the "other side" isn't something you just """""""""get over"""""""""""".

Oh! You gave me """""""""self help"""""""" books!? 8y
Wow! you must have it all figured out you fucking&^%%*)!!!!!!

All I ever said is what you wanted to hear! I never felt like I could talk to you. You never cared about me. The only thing keeping me on this world is the utter horror of hurting mum and dad. I can't live with that, I can't even DIE with that. I don't believe death is the end but I don't know what to expect. I don't want to see my mother and father crying over my body, I don't want that to be the last I see of them.

I want to be normal again, I want to get better. I need help. I want to be able to look at my face in the mirror. I want to love myself again. I want to enjoy painting and music again. I want make video games and A.I and maybe start the fucking robot wars.

But if I can't have that, not even a bit…then I can't go on anymore. I don't want that but I can't live for other people. I need peace.

WHY THE FUCK CAN'T I DO SOME GODDAMN SCHOOL WORK WITHOUT HAVING A GODDAMN BORDERLINE PANIC ATTACK ALL I HAVE TO TO IS READ A DAMN BOOK AND ANSWER SOME FUCKING QUESTIONS WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME WHY DO I HAVE TO BE SUCH A STUPID PIECE OF SHIT

As you can see, I am very irritated by my own inexcusable incompetence

I had the exact same problem when I was doing college, and I mean the exact same problem. It's like I have the inability to do any kind of fuck-all work immediately. I know the thing is due, I see the clock ticking on my computer, and I'm getting increasingly stressed out about it, but due to some kind of defect in my reject brain, I cannot process the ability to say "okay, I'm gonna actually do work now". How bad was it? There was actually a point where I watched my short online work become overdue while I binged watched Bill Maher highlights, Pinhead Patrick Stares At The Screen for 30 minutes, Full Metal Jacket, Ghost in the Shell, and Jarhead's 1 2 and 3. Some of this shit (the Bill Maher highlights for example) I wouldn't even watch when I have actual stress-free free time on my hands. I would watch/play/do something actually enjoyable. There must be a synapse in my brain that refuses to redirect.

I wish i was likeable, popular.
not because i feel like i have to be part of something to function, but i imagine it must feel nice to be part of a squad

I don't get why people say "thank you universe" and "please be nice to me, universe". Like, if you're going to bargain with a metaphysical entity just ask God, Vishnu or the Flying Spaghetti monster to hear your prayers. The Universe is a place: asking it to grant your wishes is like saying "Salt Lake City, hear my prayer."

I need to stop lurking Twitter, I swear it's almost as bad as YouTube comments there.

Try Facebook. All of social media at this point is terminal cancer.
