What the fuck happened to my thread

It went rabid and had to be put down.

Ironically enough that joke isn't all that far from the truth.

We sent it to a nice farm family where it would have more room to run around and play.

*nudges the beta thread's still rotting corpse into the gutter with the tip of his shoe*

I have no idea what you're talking about.

[Valliac]

Her entire post.

I do offer my services to smack a motherfucker, if need be.

Also, fuck my brother's ability to wreck me in games he's never played before.

Sssssssssh, we're trying to break the news gently, Ottoman

Seconded

[JustAName]

Thanks. But I think that would only feed his martyr complex. :/

[Valliac]

Not if you're getting smacked by multiple people.

It only feeds your "oh god why did I do this stupid shit" complex.

[Vanguard]

You know what doesn't feed a martyr complex? A lead pipe to the kneecaps.

... not that I'm condoning that course of action or anything, I'm just stating an opinion...

Oh don't fret,
*assumes mob enforcer accent*
We'll take care of it...

Son of a...AC is still out in this building. It's been like this for a month now and I know somebody was here three times to fix the problem. Now, I'm no expert but I'd say the problem is either A) AC is on it's last legs since it breaks the day after it gets fixed or B) the company that's been called to repair the damn thing is cheating us out of money. Not my call on what happens, but I'd think that we should give another company a try if we don't have a contract with these guys.

At least there's no mosquitoes out tonight. So, very minor win with that.

nice to see the venting thread is back to normal service

[Drinnik]

Another thing I didn't vent about yesterday; Fuck you, hangover. I knew you were coming after 3 days of drinking, but did you really have to come half way through the flight? God fucking damn it. Turbulence + Hangover = Bad Times at Richmont High.

[NohbdyImportant]

Man, fuck fleas. Invading my house, bitting places on my back I can't even reach, and having the gull to be fucking invisable so I can't kill every last one of you bastards with my bare hands. I will make it my mission in life to exterminate every last one of you like a Dalek at a diveristy parade. And doing in the hottest summer in local history, a time where almost have to sleep "natural" unless I want to succumb to heat stroke? You truly are a dick to end all dicks.

I am freaking sick of people not understanding the difference between 'objective' and 'subjective'; mostly, in not understanding what 'subjective' means. The cause of my anger? This Escapist thread on male Shepard vs. female Shepard, in particular their voice actors.

Now, quick summary: The debate between Meer and Hale is a fair one. I don't want to go into it here, it's not the place for it. But what struck me was people calling Hale's performance 'bland'. Wha? I've heard her performance described as 'fake', 'over-emotive' and 'uneven' before. All of these are criticisms that can be argued by comparison to Meer. But 'bland'? That would require her to use less differentiation in pitch, volume or tempo than Meer. And she simply doesn't! Go ahead and watch a comparison if you want. She clearly uses more vocal variation than Meer. I point this out, and further point out that this is not subjective: She objectively employs a wider range of tempo and pitch than Meer does. (She also stresses words more frequently.)

The result?

Actually, I'll think you find it is [subjective], in fact my argument, and the many other arguments in this thread, both for and against, empirically prove that it is subjective.

As I said, form your own opinions.

RARRRRRGH. That is not what subjective means! Disagreement does not prove subjectivity; it could simply mean one side is wrong.

Gnsharghgnsh!

However sound only exists in peoples heads.

So your experience and personal understanding of the pitches and tempos is entirely subjective.

Gnsharghgnsh!

While I'm not entirely sure how I feel about the rest of your vent-bland can mean different things to different people-this is spot on. That poster's logic makes no sense.

that's a vent. i know a vent when i see it and that's definitely a vent

[Mister Fiend]

Kid, the next time I catch you peeing on my fence, I'm shooting in the nutsack with my stupidly overpowered Echo 1 AEG.

i'd hate to see what you threaten dogs with...

Gods fucking dammit. I am sick of putting up with your passive-aggressive whiney, melodramatic bullshit. You keep bugging me and bugging me to play TF2, and most of the time I've spent 8 hours at work that day and at least 2 in the car commuting, IF we managed to miss traffic, so a lot of the time I don't feel like it. So, I feel sort of up to it, but not like going out of my way for it, and jokingly tell you if you sign up for this game I've been trying to get you to sign up for, I'll play with you. And then you say, "Well, if that's the only reason you'd play with me, why would I WANT to play with you?" The fuck? So I respond, "I don't know, you're the one who keeps bugging me about it." "You know what, fine. Forget it. I'll sign up for your thing, but forget about TF2."

THE FUCK?! I mean, okay, I was pushing it a little, but you know, I AM THE ONLY ONE OF YOUR OLD FRIEND GROUP WHO WILL PUT UP WITH YOU AT ALL ANYMORE. And this is after countless fights, where you'd stop talking to me for a while, and then I'd go back to you and BEG you to forgive me even if YOU were in the wrong, because I can't stand to lose people and I WORRY about you, and after preventing three friends from suicide I try to make sure I can help my friends. And even after SIX MONTHS of us not speaking because of a long argument culminating in you ASKING ME TO STOP CRYING BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T TELL ME WE COULDN'T BE FRIENDS IF I WAS CRYING, WHICH I DID, I FUCKING PARTITIONED MY EMOTIONS AGAIN EVEN THOUGH I KNOW IT'S UNHEALHTY AND I SHOULD STOP DOING IT. Even after we started talking again, tentatively, because I'm so FUCKING dumb and can't let people go, and had to start again... you pull this BULLSHIT.

How many people? How many people have you gone through, leaving them when you've argued too much? And is it always them? Are you blind to the common denominator here? You can't keep doing this your whole life. You'll run out of people. And in a professional situation? Hoo boy, are you going to get bounced around from job to job. And maybe you could handle it if you were still playing music, but no, now piano's just a side thing for you, and you're majoring in neuroscience and mathematics. And good for you, but you're not a genius. You're very smart. But you're not a genius. And only geniuses get to pull shit like that.

I worry about you. I'm so fucking stupid that I still worry about you, no matter how many times you hurt me. Please stop hurting me.

"Listen. I enjoy being your friend. I do. But you have got to mellow out. You can't keep jumping on me and being so augmentative all the time. You know I'm not big on confrontations, and I'm not going to put up with this anymore. I'm taking off. If you calling me sometime and not being a dick, you know how to reach me."



True friends are a precious thing, particularly you don't have very many of them. Spend some time away from him. He'll realize this.

[JustAName]

I think I will stop talking to him. Honestly, though, he won't care. He's the one who keeps cutting off contact, and I'm the one who keeps initiating it. He tends to bring out the worst in me, and when we argue, I end up trying to be hurtful. So, maybe we shouldn't talk anymore.

*sigh* We'll see how long it lasts this time.
