Thread: Rant and Rave, Cry and Complain
-
03-19-2014 11:59 AM #15551
Minor rave: Almost getting caught up with lectures. Chinese went better today. I'm *kind of* getting it. Still have trouble remembering the characters though, but I could probably pass that test now. I think, lol
Minor complaint: I think I'm getting depersonalisation again. In the lab the other day, I got this weird detached feeling which was.... strange.
Just felt like I wasn't writing, my hand was just doing it by itself.
I got it again today and recognised the similarities to my previous depersonalisation experience.
Not sure if it's stress or lack of sleep or what. But this time it isn't caused by anti-depressants and alcohol, so it's a little concerning. Not too worried at the moment though.
I found it calming before, so I'll do the same this time I guess.
Another complaint is that foreign girl from uni is.... beautiful. That smile....
Ugh....
OTOH, an aussie girl also gave me that.... smile, today. That one that clearly shows they are attracted to you.
It's kinda funny, couldn't have been more obvious, but I would have missed it a couple of years ago.
Rant: I have to do a presentation for biology and chinese. Guess I'm gonna have to get some xanax ready for those.
Thought I was past that crap.... presentations are so pointless unless you wanna be a public figure of some sort or a teacher etc.
Guess they're doing it for the people who want to go in to research and may have to present their findings to people etc.
But.... just sucks. I can do it, but I will never get a good mark for it, even with xanax or some miracle anxiety-destroying, confidence boosting pill.
So it's basically just doing it to pass, which I don't like in general.
Maybe with practice every week I could do well at them. I guess I could join toastmasters or something. I probably should.
Not enough time though....

Tommo. If it's what I've experienced in the past, that's a very strange feeling indeed. It could very well be brought on by stress (mine was anyhow 
) I called my episodes disassociative (sp) where I felt outside of myself...
Grats on getting a finer grasp on the Chinese (if only the girls were the same
)
Wishful, that's blatant? Were y'all cosplaying or did you just paraphrase.
Moose. Ask an admin. Maybe there's a glitch.
My rant is a weird one. My eyeball almost hurts.
How does an eyeball hurt 
For the last couple of days I've noticed my right eye is open only half as much as the left. It's been very bloodshot so I wrote it off as allergies. Today I woke with a very odd/uncomfortable sort of pressure behind my left one. Maybe I slept with my thumb imbedded in it or something 
Or perhaps it's sinus related.
I hvae NO fever today
My chest is very tight and I'm still coughing some, but not like before. I think the benadryl pills I've been taken dried most of everything up. I feel very dehydrated even though I'm drinking more than usual.
I'm not looking forward to taking my son to his thing. I ave no idea how long it's supposed to last.tommo likes this.

I know your feels. I got banned for hacking the chat once even though I don't know the first thing about hacking. I barely know how to run Tor. The mods were really shitty back then.

Day 2 of my major attitude change, things started different when I woke up but I'm learning how to adjust and managed to maintain equilibrium all day today. I've noticed one requirement to maintain equilibrium is that I have to be assertive and state anything that not stating would cause me to brood on. Despite the positive change, I'm not coming off nicer or friendlier as a person because I'm not taking any shit, no matter how petty. I'm not whining or complaining though, I'm making choices to confront issues that would otherwise cause me to complain. Primarily, I'm remaining absolutely aware. I'm allowing everything that would normally cause a reaction of resentment or irritation to instead ring as a bell of mindfulness and awareness.

Well, to start out on a brighter note, I've moved back into the US, and are in tact.
However, I'm a bit pressured. SAT is coming at me, and of course I'm worried as all hell - though, I know this will pass in due time.
What's bothering me most is the fact that I can't seem to get a job anywhere I try. It's a bit degrading, filling out the same form, answering the same questionnaire over and over - it's practically crushing my hopes every time I do it. It makes me feel a tad depressed, though, here's hoping I can get one.Zhaylin and AstralMango like this.

Jeez, sorry to all the people who got banned! Hopefully it'll be sorted soon.
Zhaylin, hope you're feeling better!
Wishful - Don't worry about what you're going to do with the rest of your life. What I've found is that most people don't. I've also found that "what am I going to do with the rest of my life" questions are also typically asked when one isn't happy with doing everything society says is normal, e.g. going to college, getting a stable, well-paying job, buying a house, having kids... (of course I could just be projecting here). Find something you like doing, and find some way to make it work. I wound up in college and am essentially getting a degree that's like "oh yeah, I have a college degree" (psychology with a minor in biology, kind of useless unless you go to grad school). Not sure what I would have wanted otherwise, and I think I'm ok where I ended up (I could have made a lot worse choices), but school really isn't my thing. I'm not bad at it or anything, but at this point I feel like I've wasted thousands of dollars and years of my life. My brother, on the other hand, decided college wasn't for him (he's smart too), went to the Fire Academy, and is doing his dream job as a firefighter. *shrugs* Just find the thing you like the most or the most clear idea you have of what that thing is, and pursue it. You can almost always change your mind.
Spoiler for Disappointment with how things are:
TL;DR - basically I have my idea of a perfect life but I don't know how to get it, and it seems to me that it shouldn't be so hard to get anywayLast edited by NewArtemis; 03-20-2014 at 03:28 PM.

I already did ask an admin, but I had had some feeling that it had to do with all that buisnass that was addressed in the spoilers... Only problem is.. I genuinely had no clue what was going on! Originally Posted by Zhaylin

Jumping ship now.. Went into a certain other LD forum's chat and discovered quite a few old friends! Enough to keep me interested.. Kinda sad to me what's happening here.Last edited by mooseantlers; 03-20-2014 at 05:01 PM.

03-20-2014 05:30 PM #15564It's really crazy. The thing that happened was really a tech problem, a random person was given +o in the chat. Unless a hack was involved, I don't think anything that happens after that is anyone's responsibility. And it's not like chat things couldn't be undone when everything was put back in place, which didn't take that long all things considered. So it should be considered an accident and nobody should have gotten banned for it, I mean seriously, what do you expect your users to do when you give them a chaotic environment? Automatically assume 100% orderly conduct? Of course not. It was a tech accident and now everything is back to how it was and that was that. Originally Posted by mooseantlers
If only we had some kind of tech administrator, in that case it would have been their responsibility not to let it happen in the first place.
EDIT:
In any case the bans feel entirely random. I remember bennerman literally taking away his own +o because he thought it was a bad idea. You'll see him complain about it, as 'aleister' in the "IRC log: SornaNet #Lobby" log. So why did you include him in the bans? It feels like you don't even know who you banned, just everyone that was present and had +o for a while. Or was it because we entered #staff? In the log it seems implied that that's the reason, but it's not like any of us have received any information about it so yeah. The channel was open, which it isn't supposed to be. That's not our fucking fault. Again it should be considered an accident entirely - except if we had a Tech Administrator, in which case it would be their responsibility. If your chat isn't working as intended, it's going to do unintended things. Don't blame your users for that.
You know something is wrong when I've been afraid I'd get banned and have my messages deleted for my last two posts.
And I mean, just, seriously, who the hell says "Those of you who escaped reprimand, consider yourselves lucky. This time." without being Dolores Umbridge??Last edited by Maeni; 03-20-2014 at 05:46 PM.

You can't just go over and talk to them? It's a brilliant way of meeting new people. Originally Posted by AirRick101

It's absolutely ridiculous. From what I understand the server turned off, and the first person in gets +O status. In this case I believe one user than Opped everyone and banned Gab. Originally Posted by Maeni

The real qualm I have with this is that the admins can't find this a funny once off occurrence. It was funny, members took over for a few hours. Absolutely no harm was done......but the atmosphere had to be ruined, people had to be "reprimanded".
Again the community degrades, it's like some people want DV to fail. Had to laugh at that last line

Sounds like a lot of chaos in chat!!
Thanks NewArtemis. I'm feeling lots better Sorry to hear your ideal home is so hard to find- especially when it impacts your health so much!
My rant is trivial. Our internet went out early yesterday evening (before my sons appointment). I just figured it was out for repairs. The cable was out as well and that's usually how we can tell if it's a problem on our end (router) or the companies. Well, the internet never came back up. Hubby called them today to have them fix it because it looked like the cable fell out of the box on a utility pole.
They came out after noon and Oops. They had the wrong address written down and cut our internet/cable yesterday
I kept waking up throughout the night, thinking the internet came back up. Am I seriously THAT addicted lol When I finally managed to get to sleep I had nightmares. In one I was afraid to fly because it was too windy and there was ocean to either side of the land I was on. I've not been afraid to fly because of wind for several years. I hope I'm not going to have to regularly put up with that again. In another dream, I was a mother to 3 little kids and one of the boys was evil. He tried killing his baby sister so I nearly drowned him by using my mind alone. It was a very dark dream.
Another rant is that I'm still coughing my head off and my chest majorly hurts because of it... my ears are also achy. Blah.
PLUS, my bird is screeching his head off today
I'm about to cover him up!
I want to get on Minecraft but I'm so sleepy I'll probably just go back to bed...

I've discovered the major, defining difference between my father and I. He thought Yoda was pissed off at Luke for not recognizing him as Yoda, I know Yoda was remaining anonymous in order to see Luke's true personality without the front of unearned authority causing Luke to act disingenuous.
This seems like a small thing, but the implications are profound.
Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.

Yeah that's what I thought... I mean when it first started happening I thought it was just good ole classic DV silliness, wasn't till later on I discovered it was actually a shitstorm... This site totally sold out, having a name of a company rather than a person as owner has a lot to do with it IMHO. Originally Posted by Maeni

Yeah. I kept flirting, he kept not returning the feelings and now the friendship's changed. Yay! Society sucks. Originally Posted by AirRick101

I started reading Game of Thrones and I really enjoy it. However the amount of blood references in the IT Crowd is making me squeemish so late at night and urgh.I hate how squeamish I am.
In other news a previous interest of mine is absolutely gorgeous. Halp. The infatuation isn't weakening oh god. He posted a photo to Facebook about 15 minutes ago and damn gurl he looks beautiful. Fuck. I need some serious help in my life.
Plans for first house party are going well. I believe I shall enjoy this.
EDIT - Just read about Oceandrop being banned. This makes me sad because I liked ocean.
*sigh* This happens in every forum I go to.

I mostly just use this thread to ramble stuff I don't feel like making a status update about, or tweeting, or putting in r/self or anything. It's like the lowest of the low random updates about my life, there's another forum with another coffee shop style thread that I used to frequent but it's user base is pretty low.
Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.

Wishful, " ''Inclinations are subtle hints.. One hath noticed these hints for quite some time, whilst failing to prompt an equally affectionate response. One hopes that thy Ask.fm hath been reviewed, particularly a question about relationships.’"
Do y'all really speak like that? I mean no disrespect but that's why it seems like role playing or something. That sentence confuses the crap out of me which is why I asked "blatant?" It sounds like language from Middle Earth as the Elves would use when trying speak "around" an issue without lying.
My rants: My stomach is exploding SERIOUSLY?!!! I truly hope it was something I ate and not a run-around with last months virus
I bought some cough suppressors earlier so at least there's a bit of relief on that front.
My other rant is my bird. RAWR!!! He is driving me insane. He's a very unhappy and loud birdy for some reason... has been for the last couple of days. I've almost reached my tolerance though.
