Need to vent? Here's the place.

[J-dog42]

Hmmm. Skinny jeans, just no. I don't care if you can, or if "they aren't just for girls"...just don't do it. Testicles have the right to freedom as well.

What else. Ah yes, shitty music. I have heard so many talented people recently that are working a second job at McDonald's or the like while trying to get a career going. Every one of them is more talented than those autotuned dick heads who claim to be superstars.

This stupid bastard from my girlfriends work who keeps texting her with all his problems. You know all those movies and dinners she just has to go to? Yeah none of those actually happened. You are just a depressing fuck who needs to harden up and move on with your life. You know why your girlfriend just broke up with you? Because you mope for the better part of the day about how hard your life is. Consider yourself lucky that you have a job and get to go to Uni at the same time. You are better off than a good 95 percent of the world.

Wow...that does feel good.

EDIT: One more thing. Dad there is a reason I don't go to church anymore. I don't believe a word the bible says, even if you are a minister. I had all that bullshit forced down my throat for years, now I can do what I want.

 

[cookieXkiller]

I saw a really really horrible movie today that just angered me to no end.

Other than that, nothing I feel confident talking about here. Too personal >.>

join the club...
im in a problem and I dont think any 17 year old should be in it.
cant wait untill i turn 18 and can just leave this shit country... and then get into the courses I want to do... far away from every family member...

 

[Xaio30]

That mother FU*KING SON-F-A-BIT*H PIECE OF SH!T MAP SYSTEM IN FABLE 3 IS STABBING ME TO DEATH WITH A CROOKED TWIG!!
IT'S COMPLETELY FU*KING USELESS! AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGH!

Thank you OP. I needed that.

 

[Carnage95]

I need to pass these subjects! Come on! Why can't I pass them even though I have been studying for them!
Piss off fatty, I don't give two shits about your religion, stop forcing it into people's throats and giving misinformation!
To my two best friends... why am I even best friends with you guys? Also to one of you, where's my money!? I'm not paying your father till I get the money you freaking owe me! It's only $2.80 and stop wasting the pocket money you got to go play Initial D on the arcade! It's no fucking wonder you're always low on cash!
SHUT UP, CLASSMATE! STOP SAYING "******" WHEN IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE, NO ONE IN THIS CLASSROOM IS BLACK. IT ISN'T COOL AND STOP BEING SUCH A IDIOT!

I feel slightly better now, there's still more but I think this is enough.

 

[Tizzmarelda]

I think this is a great post idea!

I just got out of the military, and I'm going to college. All the friends that I left in this god forsaken state have stabbed me in the back, but despite knowing this my family thinks I should still hang out with them. Those bastards (my parents) wonder why I don't want to live in that god damn house and they ask me consently: why I had to move to a different city, why I couldn't go to school locally, But I pity them to much to out right say that I hate them. I mean, they have to live with the fact that their son graduated high school (they didn't), served his country (they wouldn't), and is going to college (they never will); and their daughter is probibly going to drop out of high school after her punk-ass boyfriend knocks her up then leaves her, and she'll probably never leave that town.

That whore of an ex that I spent five damn years with, then she gives me a "Dear John," call (Dear John, I've been fucking your friend for two monthes... I think we should see other people.). Does anyone here know what it's like to return an engagment ring? My best friend since second grade didn't invite me to his wedding, hell I didn't even know about it until a month later. Money is always an issue. I only have two people in the world that I can trust, and they both treat me like shit. School sucks because everyone in that college is a wet behind the ears punk that's going to school on Mommy and Daddy's dime and they haven't had to worry about dieing or getting shot or "If this damn vest is actually going to stop a bullet." I hate my family, I'm losing faith in humanity, and I hate layng awake at night in my big fucking bed alone, but I'm to much of a god damn coward to talk to any woman that I meet 'cause of all the shit I went through with that last damn one. I stopped smokeing, stopped drinking, and I'm getting fit so that I can at least look at a mirror with out feeling like shit. But wait, my time in the military has left me so damn paranoid, that I'm reaching for my gun when ever I hear a bump in the night and I'm reaching for my pocket knife whenever someone walks toward me, so being attractive to other people is that last thing I want, 'cause then they'll approach me.

-whoooot- damn I feel better, and that ain't even that half of it. Thanks for listening.

Dust in the fucking wind mate.apart from the military and college thing iam in the exact same boat as you dude. Ex was a cheating *****, friends where back stabbing scumbags and for the last 6 months ive been second guessing myself thinking I am some social reject who never find friends or love again. Iam hoping to get to work for a door to door charity, thing is she fucking works there too. AARRGH! Fuck her, fuck them and fuck the world.

Feel abit better now.

 

[Sir Seagull]

I live at home taking care of my mother who has severe asphasia (probably spelled wrong) she went from talented artist and person who loved to talk to a woman who can barely get 2 words out, or tie her shoes. She needs attention and such and it's just hard to see never the less take care of. This is after I grew up with my mom taking care of my grandfather who died of Alzheimers (Not a nice illness let me tell you)

My means of coping is working on art which has turned into a webcomic, a webcomic I've almost no readers. I don't make money off the bloody thing (it actually costs money to do/host) but I'd at least like to share something enjoyable with others to cheer them up as the comic has cheered me up just by doing. But I can't seem to get many readers, about ...I'd say 7 average views a day, that might include me because I gotta test the site and make sure uploads went up right.

Yeah Alzheimers is a nasty thing alright. Grandad had it, a few months before he died he barely remembered my dad (his son) or my Grandma.
Send a link to your comic I'll check it out.

OT: OK I don't think I can compete with some of the other stuff here but here I go.

Why is it that the only girl I've ever fallen for rejects me by saying that she "doesn't want to be in a relationship now" then begins dating a good friend of mine two days later?

This one is a Melbourne-related rant here.
Why have the Storm had their premierships taken off them? I mean yeah they broke the salary cap (by a lot) but the players did actually win those premierships and to take the titles off them seems incredibly harsh. And after all this they were forced to trade off players who agreed to take a pay cut to stay at the club. All I can really say is: Keep it up boys you're still kicking their asses even after all this. Win it again just to show 'em.

 

[derbt]

To my fellow performers: would everyone please SHUT UP so we can practice our play? YOU ARE STANDING NEXT TO ME IN THE WINGS, AND I AM GLARING. STOP GIGGLING.

Also, Monday can go fuck itself.

 

[similar.squirrel]

Why the fuck is everybody getting laid these days except me? I'm sick of feeling all Morrisey-esque. Is there some technique to this thing?

 

[Hagi]

On the guy part: Our brains are mostly testosterone.

On homosexuality and sexism: Mostly I've got to say that I'm a dick. Talk to me about politics and i'll be serious. But frankly, people are butthurt zealots mostly the ones who oppose homosexuality.

OT: I already posted here. I just wanted to come back :3

However, my point is the ways they are trying to be masculine are stupid. I can understand wanting to be alpha male, that's testosterone, but they try to achieve it by being unemotional, insensitive and sexist just because society says that's what a man is.

Both males and females produce testosterone. Males produce about ten times as much but this is compensated somewhat by the fact that females are generally more sensitive to it. In the end males do have more of it, but it is in no way or form something uniquely male.

Next to that testosterone is but one of many hormones active in our brains. Here [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_human_hormones] is a nice list. In addition to that our brain [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain] consists of much, much more then just hormones.

Hormones give, at most, a slight predisposition towards certain reactions and behaviors. They do not cause behavior.

Behavior is caused by the totality of our brains. Anyone who cites hormones as the cause of their behavior is insulting the complexity of the human mind and horribly misinformed.

 

[SirDeadly]

Fuck you dad for making me go through all of this shit.
Fuck you Mr Griffin, I'm not going to get an A for every test.
Fuck school in general!

Why can't Fremantle play four quarters of football? They are paid professionals after all!

And screw everyone who dares to say that Fremantle is shit. No team could play well for as long as they have without half of their top 22!

 

[TheEverix]

Where's that list.....AH! Here it is:


I'm sick of having to choose between university study, being happy and well rested, or work. My current situation means that I can't get student allowance from the government, so I have to either have no money at all, or compromise my study time to work my shit-ass, shelf packing job, earning barely enough money to make it through a week, and not getting anywhere near enough sleep.

I'm sick of the fact that nobody cares that the shelf packing job has given me constant pain in my knees at the age of 21, and that every doctor that I've gone to see tells me that there's nothing wrong with me. I KNOW WHAT PAIN FEELS LIKE!! I'm sick of not being able to get a job that would allow me to not worsen the condition of said knees, as well as get adequate sleep and time to study, because I'm only qualified for the same jobs as every 15 year old, and every employer will go for the cheaper option, rather than the experienced and hard working one.

On that topic, I'm sick of the 15 year olds who work at my shop. They always drop stock in the wrong places, are incredibly rude, do as little as they can get away with, and increase the workload on the rest of the employees drastically. It's also infuriating how, no matter how many times an official complaint is made against them, by no matter how many people, the management do absolutely nothing about it. I understand the fact that they're cheap, and I know you want to protect your bottom line, but could you at least make them do their bloody share?! Worst case scenario, they quit, then you can HIRE NEW ONES. 15 year olds wanting a casual job to do after school are a dime a fucking dozen.

I'm sick of my father constantly finding fault in every single thing that I do, and when I take time out from study to help him with his company by doing heavy lifting, supervision, cleaning, and handling customers, he refuses to compensate me, then goes off his head about how I "never do anything" and how I'm a "failure" when I refuse to help him for that reason. I'm also sick of how I get an update every week for when I'm required to move out, when I can only work casually while studying, and don't earn enough money to do more than pay registration and insurance for my car, let alone rent, bills and food.

I'm sick of the direction of modern game making, how every game seems to be a hollow remake, sequel, or re-release of an existing game. Where did the soul go from this industry? Where did the depth go? Where are the original IPs? Why do people keep BUYING THE SAME GAME EVERY YEAR?!? And why are people so resigned to it? I've been reading posts where people have said to not even bother looking for good story because in today's industry it just isn't done. WHY isn't it done? Or more importantly, WHY DON'T YOU CARE?! It's as if everybody has just come down with a consensus that "it's all crap, just deal with it", rather than actually taking issue with something flawed and letting developers know that we expect better. Hell, with the indie development scene starting to pick up speed, surely people are starting to experience how AAA titles COULD be if they just tried to do something good. Hell, if Notch can make Minecraft and sell 3,000,000 copies at $15-$20 a pop, imagine what Blizzard, or EA, or Infinity Ward, or anybody with gold islands in the Caribbean and a fortress on the moon could do if they just made an effort.

Is there a character limit on these posts?

The carbon tax proposal in Australia is a fucking joke. Not only is the money raised not going to help our own country's reduction in emissions, but even if it did, our reduction in impact is dwarfed by the expected increase in emissions by the big manufacturing countries of India and China. Also, despite what Julia Gillard (who obviously has no idea how capitalism works) says, it doesn't matter if you are only taxing the big producers of carbon. NEWS FLASH! They will end up charging the people the difference TO PROTECT THEIR BOTTOM LINE!!! Also, taxing farmers who produce animals because the animals produce methane? Really? It's almost as if your TRYING to destroy the country. Imports and exports, Julia. If we stop producing things like steel, coal, and meat to export, then we have nothing to offset the imports the country needs. I hope you enjoy tearing the country down while your up there, because Labor will not see the light of day again for a VERY long time after this. Well done.

*gasp**pant* I think that will have to do... I've forgotten what I've written and its a bit tl:dr. I feel better though.

 

[freakydan]

I'm really bothered by people who keep saying "I know I'm probably bothering you" when I keep on telling them, in all honesty, that they aren't bothering me. If that makes any sense. I mean, complain about what's on your mind all you want, I'll gladly listen, but don't keep stopping your rant just to say "Sorry, I know I'm bothering you." Nope, if you were bothering me, I'd turn the radio up and stop responding.
That doesn't pertain to anyone on here, by the way.

I've worked at my job for nearly three years now, and still one of my three bosses feel the need to poke their head in once every few weeks to tell me how to do my job. Yes, I'm the youngest one working here, but that doesn't make me a dumbass. I'm a college graduate, and not only do I regularly keep the station running on my own, but I prefer it that way.

Furthermore, being a generally liberal kinda guy in a hardcore conservative business, I feel the need to say this. I was quiet and tolerant while your dumbass was in the White House. I kept my snide remarks and insults to myself. In short, I respected him, because he had been assigned a position that demanded respect. So please, for the love of God, be quiet and tolerant while my dumbass is in the White House. I'm not asking you to like him, just shut up about not liking him.

Oh, and to the Escapist in general (appologies if this doesn't apply to you). If you're talking about a location, it's "where". If you're talking about a past event, it's "were". "There" is referring to a location, "their" is referring to ownership, and "they're" is a shortening of "they are". This isn't as hard as everyone makes it out to be.

I'm getting fed up of being the easily jealous type. I've never been good at making or keeping friends, so when I DO make friends and see them spending time with others when I rarely get to see them, I can't help but get jealous and paranoid that I'll lose that friend and be back at zero. Again. It always happens, and probably because of the jealousy and paranoia which drives me to clinginess. I just want it to stop so I can be a bit more normal.

*sighs* That... Almost made me feel better.

 

[Da Orky Man]

The regular racism, sexism and homophobia.
I've recently seen people get angry and call black people by offensive names and while I wasn't involved it pissed me off.
For some reason, when it comes to sexism and homophobia I pick up on the smallest and least significant things (as well as the big things). I hate the hyper-masculinity (I think I made that word up) of my male friends - they never want to be seen as being upset, affected emotionally by anything and act as though it would be stupid and female to do so. It makes them even more pathetic because it shows them being ruled by society and, well, testosterone. They also still carry the 'never hit a girl' idea wheras I prefer 'never hit anyone', but they would hit guys just not girls. Ok, a lot of girls might not be as strong as them but a lot of guys aren't neither and they'd hit them. I know I shouldn't be angry about them not hitting people, I just wish there wasn't the prejudice of girls can't handle it.
When it comes to homophobia, there are multiple types of homophobes. The outright 'I hate gays' ones, the 'I don't mind them as long as they don't rub it in my face' as if gay people holding hands or pecking cheeks in public it pretty fucking in your face, there's the (coming back to masculinity) 'ugh it would be so unmasculine for me to be gay' guys (that one only really applies to men), the homophobes that believe all gays are pervs and will fancy them, theres the people who support gay rights but still treat gay as if it's so different, stereotyping and being all "Oh my God, you KISSED A GIRL" as if it's mental.


Sorry. As a female who rather fancies other females, I pick up sexism and homophobia a lot, even when people don't actively realize they're being sexist or homophobic.

Wikipedia actually has an article on hyper-masculinity:

[Ren3004]

Now I've switched my major to Psychology because I found it more interesting, but the two classes I've had in psych so far have been so fucking easy they feel like a joke.

Well, I can tell you that the first subjects you have may not reflect what the rest of your course is like at all. I'm in med school and, although I liked the first year, the subjects were pretty much the very basics of medicine. Biology, Biochemistry, Anatomy, Statistics... But as the course progressed, the subjects became more and more focused on the clinical aspects of medicine. Now I absolutely love this course and can't see myself doing anything else.


So, today I woke up three hours after I went to bed because of an annoying beeping sound. I checked my phone, my alarm, even my laptop, which was turned off. To make matters worse, it seemed like the beeping would stop just long enough for me to think it was gone, then start again. I eventually found it was a tiny clock/alarm on the windowsill that hasn't rung like... ever. And yes, in my sleepy state, I thought of the possibility that it was a time bomb.

 

[Darby]

My friend died yesterday.

 

[The Funslinger]

Fuck my village for not having any open jobs! Not that bad, but I'm kind of irritated that the cafe that has me on the top of their list for job openings or spare shifts has had neither a job opening nor a spare shift since I gave them my details. I need the money, dammit. Also, my english lit/language course has picked two god awful books to base this year's course around.

 

[xbox hero]

I'm sick of living with my parents..my dad in particular
My Dad is the most cruel ignorant selfish bastard I have ever had the displeasure of living with!
He never let me have any friends or even go to public school when i was a little kid.
When I first started playing the guitar he hit me if i didn't learn a song before my next guitar lesson.
I recently came out of the closet...when he found out he pushed me over and kicked me....mum just stood there and watched....he's the reason i'm so darn shy and socially awkward and the worst part is i have to live with him for another 4 years.

that is just sad JUST SAD

OT: Im fucking angry that I cant master the thing on the escapist its like [ /b] but it isnt black,its really big and I think the color is blue,also I hate that I dont know many good songs.The disrespect for good new singers and bands because they are new,or that they use techno a lot.(Dont you dear say that Black eyed peyes and LMFAO suck!!)Also I dont know what song to get,Im thinking Tony hawks proving ground...But i want something with a lot of action.I done this was good!

 

[Padwolf]

Well, I'm angry that my laptop was broken by my brother, he didn't even offer to help pay for it, I had to use all my birthday money to get it fixed. It's taking ages to get fixed and only the screen needs replacing. I'm annoyed that I've heard nothing back from the jobs I've applied for, and I need the money to pay for books for my final year of university.

 

[Ren3004]

By the way, thanks for the thread. It's good to vent, but I wish there was a companion thread for the cheer ups now.

Well, I did make a thread for cheering up people last year, and there have been plenty of threads like that. You know those threads where people post videos of kittens or uplifting stories. If you want cheering up about your specific problem, I'm sure someone could help. My best advice is ignore your sister if she thinks she's better than you. I hope you can get revenue of your own soon. And IMO you don't have to feel bad about getting help. You didn't force your brother to support you, and it seems like you're trying to end this situation. There's nothing wrong with getting some support in the meantime.
