[Jade Harley]

I hope that one day I can (wo)man up and tell my mom how much of a total bitch she is. It's crazy how awful she makes me feel, you guys, like.... her behavior is seriously like poison on my system.

Today started out fine, but it turned into just another day of my mom being terrible. It's a weekend and a holiday, so my mother wanted us to go eat lunch with her parents. We were supposed to arrive at one. I started getting ready and junk, but I checked my online classes and realized that I had an exam that had just been opened to take. I sit down, start the test, and my mom busts in and yells at me to start getting ready, but I literally can't. The test can't be saved and resumed later.

So, I kept doing the test. Then, after that, I started getting ready to leave. It took a half hour at most, but right around when I was finished, my mom yelled up and asked if I was ready to go. I knew she couldn't hear me, so I didn't answer. I grabbed my shoes and ran down the stairs, heard the front door slam, and just as I reached the front step, she'd pulled out in her truck and drove off.

I was able to get to my grandparents house by riding with my dad. My mom didn't say anything directly to me the entire time, never looked at me, made a point of talking to my twin sister but not me... Just generally acted passive-aggressive toward me. I almost bumped into her in the kitchen and she just ignored me completely. Then, after we got back, we found that she'd locked the door behind her when we were driving separately right behind her.

At the time of writing this she's angrily slamming dishes around in the kitchen. She'll probably go up in her room later and lay in bed, acting like I've made her sick or something by literally just taking an exam and a little extra time to get ready. That's what she always does.

My father drives me insane sometimes. Today, Easter Sunday, the whole family was resting and doing minor house chores. Suddenly he comes down the stairs (he'd been sleeping off a headache, don't know the cause) and starts making a fuss because we're sitting around doing mostly nothing. Keep in mind that its SUNDAY and we worked our asses off on Saturday. Gets mad because he can't find his belt, goes out to do some work and gets pissed because the weed-eater only had one string on it (I hadn't restrung it after the previous day's work) and that I was ruining a perfectly good piece of 300 dollar lawn equipment for running it for less than 5 minutes with one string (we've had it for 2+ years and it's worked fine all this time) and making a fuss about 'I'm the asshole for trying to do anything' when both me and my mother were already putting on our shoes to go help him. He's passive-aggressive about it all too.

Thankfully the situation has defused but it really, REALLY pisses me off that he thinks that being passive-aggressive and making us mad, which turns it into a fight, is the only way to get us to do anything

[The Vision]

So I'm a teacher and I just lost one of my classes... The three students in there have been disrespecting me since Day 1, and when I finally started responding by being stricter on them, they started complaining about me. So instead of dealing with those spoiled brats and making sure they learn that you don't treat people like trash, I'm the one who gets dirty looks from the headmaster of the school.

And also none of my students appreciate when I try and help them but I'm pretty sure that's just what you get when you're a teacher. It's just hitting me hard today because it's very humid over here and hard to breathe. I let my younger kids play hot potato, which they usually love, for the second half because I knew they have the attention span of 2 seconds. They got angry at me for making them play (which I didn't - I just said let's play and let the kids vote on whether or not to play, to which the vast majority said yes) and then when I stopped the game because clearly none of them were into it they got angry at me again.

Makes me wonder why I'm even doing this job. I'm in Korea, where I have no friends and only family - including my stepmother, who treats me like I'm two years old when I'm twenty and gets angry at me when I make mistakes which do not affect her at all. I got this job because I wanted to be in Korea, but I don't enjoy being in Korea, and I no longer enjoy having this job. I'm counting down the days until I can leave, which I never did before with anything else.

I need to get out of this country. It's stifling.

[Jade Harley]

Oh, Dell and Vision, I'm so sorry you guys have to go through all of that. People can be horrible, even when they're supposed to treat you with respect or love. I hope things improve for you both soon, sincerely and from the bottom of my heart. (Also all of my heart. Because you guys are wonderful and I want you to know that.)

[Amaterasu]

Well... venting time for me too.

My families on both of my parents' sides have complicated issues, and in both there's one uncle of mine who's married to a woman that seems to have changed him. I don't want to bash at them, there may be other reasons, but... well, today I'll talk about my mum's brother.
He's been living in an apartment owned by my grandparents for several years now, which he doesn't pay rent for. (My grandparents have this big apartment house with 6 apartments, one of which my gran lives in, one is occupied by my uncle and one is the one I am now speaking about) He started out paying half rent, until his wife lost her job to unfortunate circumstances, at which point they stopped paying entirely. This has now been this way for about a year and a half. It's not like they need that apartment - they use it 2 days per month.
The problem is, my grandma is in a daycare(?) for elderly people because of her dementia, which costs a LOT of money per month, so she needs the income from that apartment. My uncle on the other hand just says "having this apartment is a priority for us (his family), we need it", what priority he speaks of I do not know, and refuses to move out even though he can't pay for it. And if we were to take drastic measures? "If you force us out, don't count on me helping you with [my grandma] anymore." This is a son talking about the care for his 80-something-year-old mother, ladies and gentlemen. If I were to ever say this regarding my parents, my siblings have my permission to put a bullet through my head on the spot.
My grandma, being from a generation where men are always more correct than women, believes that he is right and that her daughters (my mum and aunts) should just send him some money so he can afford the rent.

So why am I writing this now? Because my uncle held a party for Easter (in that apartment, no less) and didn't invite us - that is, my mum and her family - nor my aunt over, who are the ones most encouraging him to do something about the apartment - either move out and let someone else move in, or change his spending habits so he can at least pay part of the rent. He instead held the party with part of our family and tried to get our grandma to join it as well (she instead chose to stay with us, we held a separate party two levels lower). For a completely unrelated situation did he refuse to invite us. I'm baffled at the pettiness... especially because my mum and aunt both agree with me that he has never been like this and they don't recognize him.

I've been screwing myself over for the past few weeks concerning school work. All I can describe it as is distractions galore.
Funny thing is, there seems to be the vicious cycle I go through every year concerning any "new" thing I start doing. First half of this semester (or maybe more like 2/3s) I was on top of EVERYTHING. Now the second stage of my final project is late and I'm still working on it (though my professor is fairly lax with due dates). I know it's all my fault, and I get caught in a mental infinite loop and my brain refuses to work no matter how hard I make effort to fix the problem. I just stare at my screen feeling bad for myself.

And if you guys wanna hear my 2 cents on what you've posted here:

@Jade The second you get a chance to get out of the house and STAY out, take it. It's what my mom did. I use to call my grandmother on her side "Granny Barb", now I'll refer to her as "Granny Bitch" in front of my mother and she sometimes even encourages it. I haven't seen GB in likely a decade too, ever since my mom got her shit together(well, she always had, but she finally decided to drop a lot of toxicity in her life). And when you get out, force them out of your life. Don't engage them at all. Just ditch them. Again, what my mom did. I know family is important, but real family goes beyond simple blood relation.


@Dell Much of the same thing I said to Jade, but to expand on that (and this goes for Jade's situation as well). If he never gets physical, then words are only words. I know it sounds stupid but standing up to him is the best thing you can do. Either telling him to fuck off or just ignoring him, it also seems like your mom is on your side. If he gets physical, then he's lost. You can get the police involved. It's the tougher option but I feel it's the right one. I was really, REALLY young when my mom finally got my biological father out of my life. I never loved him, and I always remember being scared of going over to his house for the weekend. He never got physical with my two younger brothers, but he did with me sometimes. Obviously I couldn't fight back back then, but I'm sure you can, and even if it's not that much it's something.

@Vision I'm not a teacher, so I can't say much, but my mom is and something I admire about her is she has dealt with the most difficult SPED students you get and consistently came home with bruises from students getting violent with her. Yet she never once considered just giving up on them. Though, she did eventually get a new job at an elementary school, while she was in SPED she always put her best foot forward when it came to dealing with difficult kids. I know she wanted to strangle them at times, but she understood that there were just kids and mentally challenged ones at that. If you can't simply move back to your home country and get a different teaching job, all I can say is to keep throwing tactics at the wall until something sticks.

@Amaterasu People change, especially when money is involved. If it were my uncle my family would completely exclude him out of any affairs. If he's not helping out with your grandmother already, then it shouldn't be much different if he's kicked out. Of course, that's assuming you can convince your family to do so, with what some random asshole on the internet said. Still, like I said with Dell, tougher option but likely the right one in my eyes.

PLEASE I'LL DO ANYTHING!

[Soldier 75]

Well my problems pale in comparison to everything else here, and for some reason I feel safer posting here than talking to my perfectly-normal family.

I've always had problems with video-game communities. I've always felt obligated to work as hard as I can to be recognized and respected whenever I join a clan or guild or whatever. I always felt guilty as hell when I miss something or did something wrong. I recently became more active in a CSGO community, and I told myself: I want to work my way up the ranks. I want to make some friends and have fun. But whenever I join the server, and try to greet people, I get almost no responses. One day, when I joined and asked, "How is everyone's day today?" I got no response except for a simple "kys" 30seconds later. Additionally, there are two teams, one guards, and the others prisoners. I love playing guard, but if you do even the slightest thing wrong, kill someone when you're not supposed to, you will be yelled at, people will accuse you and curse at you, and you'll most likely be swapped to the other team, kicked, or banned. I've been playing this server for a couple weeks now, and many more months before I was inactive. The community has been advertised as a friendly community, where even the lowliest of members can be recognized. I may be the lowest ran, but I see many of the other people my rank be greeted and talked to regularly by the admins. But when I try to talk, more than often they just ignore me. Even if I compliment them.

Being the complicated person I am, these small rejections by these people I've never met hits me hard. Tonight I felt horrible. I played on a special event, and tried to socialize, but yet again (starting to see a pattern), I was ignored. I left to fix something, couldn't rejoin, and called it quits for the night. Now, sitting in bed going over it all, I feel like ranting and yelling at those people. I feel horrible. All I want is to be a part of a community. What the hell is wrong with me? Mostly I've just gotten cancerous screaming out of this community, yet I still send that next message, post that next forums comment, try to talk over voice chat to an audience I should know by now cares not for me. I realized today that I need t take a break from this server. But even with that realization, I still feel horrible. I never feel like I can talk about my strange video-game problems to other people, because I've never had many people who play the stuff I do. Yes I have friends, but trying to explain these foreign concepts to them seems wrong. I guess the only place I can talk about it is here. Really the only community I've stuck with for more than a few months, and probably one of the few I've felt like what I say is actually important. Recently my thoughts have strayed towards thoughts of my inadequacy, both in-game and irl. What I could have done better. How I should have done things differently. How my stupid words just make me look stupid and I feel stupid and I just want these stupid thoughts to get out of my stupid head. With the few friends I have, says my brain, one slip-up and they're all gone. I'd love to blame this on some disorder, or depression, but for the most part I feel fine. And as I delete yet another sentence, I realize I care too much about what people think of me online. But for now, I need to end this so I can sleep or I'll be even worse. My mind tells me that this is suicide, to talk about this, an attention-whoring thing. But maybe that's what I want. Maybe I just want someone to listen for once. Maybe I just want to be able to talk about my problems for once, even if it is anonymously.

[Omni]

^For starters that sounds like an incredibly toxic community. The moment someone casually drops "kys" and doesn't get called out is the moment I would gtfo.

Honestly, a lot of people are just extremely cliquey. They sign up to online games and basically only talk to people they already know. Same goes for real-life.

It doesn't excuse acting like a cunt, but other times it's just because you're trying too hard, and people can sense it. If you constantly ask questions that require a response, sort of forcefully engaging someone, or act too friendly to someone you've just met, it can provoke a pull-back response. I've been on both sides, and nowadays I try to just have natural conversations, especially online, by piping in when I have something relevant to say (or something to add to the conversation) rather than jangling around with niceties that we use in real-life like "how are you?" etc. Then if people wanna talk back, they have that choice, rather than feeling forced. And if they don't feel like talking, that's cool too. Most people playing games online are of the latter, and those that do talk are mostly talking only to their friends; hitting off an actual conversation online with randomers is really rare.

In this case, though, I'd move on and try to find a more friendly server. Sometimes things just aren't as advertised, and you usually have to go through a whole lot of communities to find good ones.

I've been reading all these posts, but with this I felt I had something worthwhile to add. But there's some SERIOUS FUCKING BULLSHIT in y'all lives.

[homin-Ratione]

Fuck imgur's community now. I have no problems with the site itself and its staff, but the people on it are so head up the ass it's hard to believe.

Two of my posts for example:

http://imgur.com/gallery/ahL8v3J

http://imgur.com/gallery/Xlibm

I made the first just today and the second a while back. It's essentially turning into the new reddit. It's difficult to put into words why I hate it so much now, but it's mainly because actual quality content doesn't get attention, only the same circle-jerking bullshit and mainstream ass. It's not just me or a few others either, just browse Usersub (usually full of shit though) and you'll see TONS of quality content getting shat on for no reason.

I finally deleted my account, never going back.

[Arle Nadja]

@Eric: I don't even call myself a gamer anymore. I've come to realize I share almost nothing in common with most of the people who do. I've also come to learn to stay far away from any game or group that is associated with e-sports. I couldn't tell you why, but toxicity follows that hyper-competitive environment around.

@homin-Ratione: Ah yes. Imgur. Where you don't even need to type to tell someone you hate them. If it wasn't decisively superior for all of my heavy image uploading and sharing needs, I would've left it behind myself. Good on you for getting away from that mess.

@Omni: That last bit about sometimes things not being as advertised reminds me of a time I joined a roleplay I'm gonna go ahead and not name. I always read over the rules just to make sure there's nothing in there that would really put me off or make me uncomfortable. (I could talk about some silly experiences browsing sites, but I'm sure we've all a couple of those.) Back to this specific site though. Everything looked good, no indication that I wouldn't really fit in there.

...And then I enter the site's chatroom. Now it's important to know that the site had rules. Real basic stuff that could've all been summarized as "Yo please don't be jerks to eachother." But after hanging out in that particular chatroom for a while I came to witness an alarming amount of ironic racism, really uncomfortable transphobic comments being made by a staff member towards another staff member (Not even as a joke. He was bullying the other staff member.) and some other smaller nonsense. The head admin seemed alright and for the most part agreed when I pointed out that I felt like the rules weren't being enforced, but unfortunately we werent' able to agree on some key issues such as "Maybe we shouldn't be calling other members the N-word."

I didn't know what to say to that. They seemed to think just because they were only kidding that made it okay. The problem was, I wasn't in on the joke and I didn't really want to be in on it, so I took my leave. I don't know who that sense of humor is normal for, but it's certainly not for me personally.

[Marcus Wright]

I'm a little nervous about this but here it goes: I'm in this group that's closely knit with each other and well.. something bad happened and now everyone's frazzled. Now I'm also in the said other group and now me and another person have to vote for this important decision to go through or not

Other roleplay sites make me uncomfortable for different reasons. Usually it's the sites based around shounen that tend to attract a lot of younger male members for whom using the word "nigger" is still the coolest thing since sliced bread. Then you have the opposite end of the spectrum where everyone is "pawing" each other in the chatbox and it's almost like an extreme reaction to the machismo communities. Not really surprising.

Maybe it's just because of the balanced subject matter that we avoided this. People can join as ponies or space marines, and they gotta learn to get along with the others. It's kind of ... beautiful? But there was also a lot of both of the above early on. I had to make a point of saying "yo, if you and your friends can call each other nigger and it's all in fun, that's fine, but keep it to skype/IMs" and also "hey, could you try and keep the pawing out of the chatbox" (god, that one blew up). But yeah, I remember looking at some RPGs in the "waiting period" before making the Omniverse and they were exactly as you described. Before that and before making the Omniverse, I never really thought about this kind of thing.

It's also made me really hesitant to join -any- community, because finding a lot of people you get along great with, but having to leave because of the amount of terrible people, is wrenching. It's a gradual process through which I've learned I don't like most people, and I'm not <unquantified quality>-enough to just get along and be happy.

This is totally off-topic, I'm sorry >_>

GET SOME NEW FUCKING MATERIAL or play some more of that youtube poop/asian horror movie shit, that was crazy

Windows Ten: THe Most Worthless OS of them all. 

- Windows Ten has an Operating System that if you leave it idle for too long will freeze up the screen on computers that have ran WIndows Seven. That is not all, but it forces you to update them whether you want to or not. Go Autoupdate. :

    - Sadly that is not the worst part of the Windows Ten experience. No, the worst part I experienced today. I am out ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY SOME DOLLARS because of the Forced Update that required a Factory Reset that in turn deleted critical files. 

 - All in all? I'm about ready to throttle the designers of Windows 10, the programmers and WHOEVER gave them the idea to make updates automatically happen like that!!!!

:picard: :rage:

Words cannot summarize how angry I am with Microsoft right now, though this one should suffice. 

GRAAGH YOU  COMPUTER PROGRAMMING IDIOTS. GET IT RIGHT FOR A CHANGE!!!!

Apparently I'm not allowed to be a stickler for historical accuracy and realism in terms of HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) in popular media such as TV, News, Movies, Games, etc,

man you have no idea how much this resonates with me honestly, some folks just don't know how fucking COOL legit swordfights were

not to mention paying respects to the people that lived and died by those tactics, techniques and weapons; shit's important to me






i'm going to ask to be the only character in the omniverse that will use legit HEMA techniques however so i can look cool thanks

I've practically jerry-rigged my laptopt to dual boot with Windows 10 and Xubuntu, currently working on getting Sourcemage installed so I can triboot.
Gonna help Somerled/Okuu do the same.
Can't wait to take the GNU/Linux redpill, thanks /g/.

People with fucked up priorities. About to lose their house because they can't afford 400 bucks a month, yet they're always drunk and stoned and goodness knows what else. Have two kids. Maybe stop boozing and getting stoned for a bit and pay your bills? I mean, priority should be having a roof over your head, especially if you have kids. For fucks sake you and your old man are in your mid 30's and can't handle a 400ish/month for your mortgage, yet you're constantly drunk/stoned? Hmm. GL with that gofundme. I like to donate when I can, but I know what'll happen to the money, so no thanks. Get your shit together.

So stab the registry until there's no updates coming. You can turn them off with a bit of wizardry.

As for the "GNU/Linux redpill", that sounds exactly as cringey as it just..does.  
Being an admin myself, I deal with Linux a plenty, so it just sounds eh...silly. Anyway.

I still cba to use Unix in general in my home computer, simply because the gaming performance of Unix still falls too low for my desires, and dual booting takes too much effort to "Oh hey I want to play a game - let me reboot...!". 
Of course, with hosting a baremetal hypervisor and running the game on an OS based on that, the performance has actually become pretty decent even on Unix gaming, but it still falls behind Windows.
So it's just a waiting game with Vulkan until the OS's becomes actually equal or better in gaming scenarios.
There's also the fact that plenty of software just doesn't have Unix support, so you'd have to run them in Wine. Bleh. Bothersome.

Dualbooting is nice as an idea, until the clunkiness of it becomes apparent, especially with the fun fact that Microsoft and their updates are painfully well known to just break dualboot setups (especially Unix-sidebooting ones) with updates.
I'd need a second easily accessible computer - a laptop or the like, so that I could easily swap in seconds without rebooting or other hassle between Windows & Linux for it to be a functional home setup for me.

Rant: COME ON UNIX BASED OS'S, GET YOUR GAMING SIDE SHIT TOGETHER ALREADY. I WANT TO USE ANY OF THEM FROM LFS TO GENTOO AND ARCH, JUST MAKE IT ACTUALLY WORTH MY TIME TO USE THEM FFS.
