    Family Troubles

    I can't really help with your situation, but in my opinion, NO you are absolutely NOT being selfish for wanting her gone. As you said, you and your mom both have bipolar disorder, and you are handling it with meds and therapy. This is definitely something that can be lived with; it's not a death...

    Landlord Troubles

    Somewhat unrelated, but have you contacted the local humane society about the animals? If the smell is as bad as you say, chances are they aren't being cared for properly. You could argue that with poor cleanliness and poor living conditions you are in an unsafe environment. I seriously doubt...

    Poll: Would You Push The Button? (Moral Dilemma)

    Yes, I'd push it. I'd push it multiple times. My mother was emotionally abusive, my father was unmedicated bipolar and also physically abusive, my sister was a spoiled little *****, and my brother was the type of person who thought physical threats were the way to make friends. I hate them all...

    Games you have brought or downloaded that you fully regret.

    Tower Wars. I got it from an indie bundle just the other day. I thought it would be a fun game to play with the bf. I'm really glad that I only paid a few bucks for the entire pack, as it is a HUGE waste of HDD space. There appears to be only one co-op map. There is no campaign, and the main...

    Working in Retail. Positive Advice

    Go to Walmart. In the shoe section, there are Dr Scholl's work shoes (sorry, I don't remember the exact name, but they only have a few options, IIRC). They look like dress shoes, but they're built like sneakers. They are lightweight, have cushioned insoles, and they have a non-slip sole on them...

    Steam games not working

    Maybe check in your event viewer (you should be able to access it just by typing event viewer in to the start search). I know when I was having problems with my GPU (not saying that's what it is, however), there was an entry in there that made it a lot easier to pinpoint the problem. Also, I...

    Rename yourself. Why not?

    I guess I'm boring...I'd just rename myself Aariana >.> Aari for short. My real name is Heather, and I was dubbed as such by my abusive, alcoholic father. So...yeah. Aari! (and dammit, no one is allowed to feel bad about this post cause I sure as hell don't!)

    The hairstyle thread! (Men and women)

    My hair looks like this right now, just a bit shorter. It used to be down to my butt, but that just got to be way too much work, so I chopped most of it off. What do I do? Wash, condition, then nothing. I don't brush, I don't blow-dry, I don't use styling products. I might use some...

    English Words You've Heard Mangled

    Oh God, I had a teacher in high school who was horrible with the English language. She would always say potato as po-day-do, and wash as warsh. She also had a horrible time pronouncing the names of Mexican foods, which was a bit scary, considering she was our cooking teacher (if you're gonna...

    What's the Beef With Origin?

    I don't really have any problems with Origin (of course, my games don't have an online component, and I only have 3 on origin XD). I mean, yeah, it kinda sucks that I can't just play all my games through Steam, but I can deal with it. My only little quibble with it is that either Origin or...

    My games backlog is pretty bad. what about yours??

    I'm currently sitting at 373 games unbeaten and/or unplayed (not counting my DS and Gamecube games), and 62 games that are beaten, but I haven't gotten to 100% completion in them. I have a long road ahead of me.

    I'm tired of being lied to by commercials!

    I still want me a goddamn house hippo!

    I think I'm about to be dumped.

    Not to take a bit of a cold-hearted approach to this, but I wanted to point out something. When you are on birth control pills, you DO look at the world a bit differently. Your brain and body are basically hardwired to be expecting a baby, and it can change your attitude towards people. It is...

    Poll: NVIDIA or Radeon

    Radeon for me. Up until the middle of December, I had a GTX 550 Ti that I bought when Skyrim came out. It was RMA'd twice, first time they claimed nothing was wrong, second time they gave up and gave me a refurbished card instead of sending the same one back. In December, the exact same problem...

    84-Year-Old Gleefully Plays First-Person Shooters

    Holy crap that was freaking adorable. I hope that I'll grow up to be as awesome a grandparent as he is.
