I feel like I ranted about this a lot in the old thread but HERE'S CAE AGAIN WITH THE WEATHER,

IT'S RAINING

ALL HAIL THE GLOW CLOUD

but for god's sake my shitty roommate is now lying about eating my leftovers from dinner at literally midnight Sunday morning and tried to pin it on my partner (who went to bed at the same time as me, and also who got out of bed, showered, and left for work at the same time as me SUNDAY MORNING). She's been home literally all day!! My other roommate ate my pizza but I'm not as mad about that, I didn't pay for that pizza (I work at a pizza shop and we get to take flop pizzas home sometimes), but my partner was really sweet and thoughtful and ordered my favorite takeout for us to eat; and I was so tired I couldn't eat much, so I asked them to put it in the fridge in the usual spot I put it in.

It was in there before I went to work at 10am, I know this because I was contemplating whether or not to bother making coffee based on the expiration date of the milk (the answer was "no" because roommate always tells me to buy milk so she can cook with it THEN NEVER FUCKING DOES).

It was gone when I came home. I'm standing there, staring at the fridge in confusion - my takeout container? My styrofoam holder of all things garlic-parm-and-chicken-wing??? GONE, FUCKING GONE.

My roommate comes clambering down the stairs, then stops at the bottom of the stairs and doesn't move for a minute before coming around the stairs, going "[My naaaame], our cats are asshooooles~" in her stupid sing-song voice she uses right before she starts bitching about something (that I usually don't give two shits about) or starts whining about how awful work was (again, I don't give two shits because it's LITERALLY THE SAME COMPLAINT EVERY TIME that her bosses can't hire competent people or that her hours are getting cut because her job is seasonal and based on when sports games are because apparently having a "steady job" is too fucking demanding of someone who won't do dishes, won't do her laundry unless she's desperately out of clothes, but tells me in this snide tone that "dishwashing IS self care!" while our sink is packed to bursting with HER FUCKING DISHES).

I interrupted her and told her, "Have you seen my food?" because I'm not playing twenty goddamn questions. She gets this annoyed look on her face and rolls her eyes and says, "Is it a black takeout container?" I say yes and she points at the trash, "Someone ate it." I ask who and she proceeds to PULL THE CONTAINER OUT OF THE TRASH AND YANK ONE OF OUR ACTUAL FORKS OUT OF THE CONTAINER. That was the container my partner had their food in, sometimes they accidentally toss the forks out in the bargain. But it was the ONLY container in there and I told my roommate the above information, and she immediately deflected it with "Oh it was our other roommate." I don't know if it was him but I doubt it - he always asks or messages us first about leftovers in the fridge after our girl (I hesitate to call her a woman because she acts like a five year old) roommate threw a fit about her moldy leftovers getting tossed out.

I no longer love cooking because she will come downstairs from her room and stick her nose in it, telling me to do it a different way because she likes it better that way or that "Oh, that's not how my dad cooks/bakes/etc that." I'm not dating her and I never have. My partner and I are not really in an open relationship anymore, they and their boyfriend had a mutual breakup a few months back but things got a little awkward. But she admitted she won't date women or DFABs anymore "because of the drama." Oh, really????

She also made really nasty comments about my partner earlier this year regarding a blowout argument they and I had over the way they were handling tabletop game secrets between player/GM vs everyone knowing about it OOC and having to pretend they don't. She called my partner manipulative and controlling and that I should watch my ass for that behavior elsewhere. My partner has never acted that way in our personal lives toward me and only had those issues because of a major fuckup on all our parts in an Ironclaw campaign! If anything my partner has taught me how not to be an asshole because of how my parents treated each other when I was growing up. But no, she hates the way they want all the secrets out and refused to listen to me when I said I was going to have a conversation with them about it - she said it was pointless, that they weren't going to budge, and that I should be mindful of the way they treat me.

Bitch what???

This, coming from the asshole who gaslights me about my own fucking cat, about my own fucking words? About conversations we've had the same damn day, about foods I like/dislike/absolutely loathe?!? The bitch who keeps trying to make me eat mochi (hate it, hate it, fucking hate it, slimy gross bullshit), paneer and curry (I CAN'T EAT INDIAN FOOD, something in it makes me INSANELY sick and I'm too afraid to keep trying to eat it to narrow it down plus I fucking hate rice because it's all she fucking cooks and the house stinks of it and she almost ruined one of my good pots making it), swears that I like melon (I. hate. cantaloupes.), and seems to be under the impression I owe her any inch of time. Don't get me started on her stupid and annoying insistence that I'm the one who is always wrong, that she is the one who is always right - for god sake I had to lock my door TONIGHT because she wouldn't stop knocking and coming in when I wasn't answering, then she got pissy with me later on in the night because I told her I didn't want any ice cream and that I wanted to be left alone. Because god forbid I want to be by myself in my own damn home.

I used to consider her a wonderful friend.

Not anymore.

plus all this stupid drama with her and then the stupid shit with my dad is keeping me from focusing on W&W and I feel like such a fucking asshole because I can't update like I want to

Sometimes I just get tired of being with people, even if I like them. And I wish I could live in a hut in top of a mountain with wi-fi, and enough money to survive....and food delivery service.

I logged onto a gaming site and found ANOTHER nude mod for a fighting game, I'm not mad that there's a nude mod, I'm mad that the mod only effects women in the game. Can someone just have the balls (pun intended) to make a nude mod for male characters for the sake of a character getting hit in the groin we can see a real effect of the pain. These modders need to stop jerking their egos (pun not intended) and think about equality of stupid unnecessary aesthetics no one really needs in a fighting game for both sexes!

I cannot stand it anymore;

Webtoons keeps on taking comics I like off of sites and pretty much stealing them for themselves.

I hate losing comics and it feels like the artists were happier before Webtoons did stuff to them.

And I utterly despise it when an artist suddenly leaves without giving any word of what's going on!

See, why are you being the most mentally-stable person in the house?

She should start catching you having conversations with yourself. Start small, with a few words spoken aloud, then gradually go full Gollum.

It's porn. Pandering to people is sort of the whole point.

Could you elaborate?

I just hired a Tapas artist for a commission and suddenly received exactly what I wanted from a different artist unexpectedly.

First world problem?

You just got two of the thing you wanted for the price of one. It's the opposite of a problem.

But they're avatars and I have to figure out which one to use. Or which where.

This is some pretty petty bitching.

Change the avatar each week/month lol
It's okay. We come here to vent even if it sounds petty.

Wow... And here I thought looking at pictures of food for me was stress relieving... Never though it could become tiring... (Please don't let me get tired of looking at food and especially pudding!!!!)

:joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy:

I have work in a few hours, and that thought alone makes me want to scream and cry.

This is definitely petty whining (especially considering how atrocious my update schedule is) but for a while I was upset because my sub count was at an odd number for ages (459) and i got sick of looking at it and when I check back it's even again....because someone unsubscribed. I'm honestly not that mad about it (again since my updates have been ridiculously inconsistent) but it would've been nice to see at least one new sub

It's like when you make a joke and no one laughs so you end up hoping for a pity laugh at least ;=v=

What's even more frustrating is that I haven't had much motivation to work on comics and a part of me can't help but feel obligated to upload something since I failed to complete a short Halloween arc I'd planned for my comic...c'est la vie

Not gonna lie, your post made me laugh!

But the thing is? I'm not the most mentally stable. My partner is the only person in this house without manic depression, anxiety, etc. :frowning: We're going to have a huge sit down with her this week, where she's getting the ultimatum of "either contribute to the house because this is not a hotel or leave by the end of the lease." She doesn't help with the cats even though one is hers (has refused to buy cat litter on the basis of "it's too heavy" and it'll hurt her arms to carry it so far), never buys toilet paper despite needing the fancy paper for her apparently fragile ass (I buy the fancy kind anyway because the awful kind clogs our toilet), only buys limited amounts of communal groceries but buys bottles and bottles of coke, our fridge door is full of her condiments that she never uses, and she broke down and cried when I told her that the salted caramel sauce she bought three years ago was moldy and needed to be thrown out.

If you have any ideas on how to navigate the coming conversation without tearing my hair out, I'd appreciate it. x.x

Ever since my best friend had a baby, the only thing she ever talks about is her baby. The baby is a year old now! And she’s a stay at home mom, so I’d think she could come up with something to talk about like her hobbies or what she’s watching on Netflix. This is especially bad on Facebook. It’s now her baby’s Facebook because that is literally all she updates about or has pictures of anymore.
Sometimes when we’re in public hanging out she interrupts me in the middle of my sentence when her baby is totally happy and quiet, to go “goo goo Gaga” and Just baby talk.
I have been distancing myself because I try really hard to be understanding but I just get so mad when she cuts off my sentences and all I hear about is the exact same thing every week. :frowning:

On another note, my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for over a year and my reproductive organs apparently suck.

I've been here too many times...

@caelenmustang The adult thing to do would be to approach the discussion with sensitivity and tact. But the fun thing to do would be to decorate the living room in jungle decor and talk about how somebody's getting voted off the island.

@hotsubsandwich I'm sure you've seen a doctor, but have you tried talking to your future kid through Tarot cards? You can talk to anything if you're willing to anthropomorphize them.

So as some of you may know by now, there was a shooting at a church in Texas over the weekend. Predictably, the media harped on its usual tangents in situations like these playing the identity politics card before any information about the shooter was uncovered.

And of course, "verified" people on social media used it as an excuse to either push politics or bash other people's politics before the families of the victims involved in the shooting have even had a chance to grieve. Case in point...

Its because of assholes like Wheaton I've become so desensitized to mass shootings here in the states. Don't get me wrong, yeah its sad that innocent people got killed by a lunatic who wasn't in his right mind, but I honestly think that its much worse how the media and particularly social media have made it so that every time stuff like this happens, its never about coming together and condemning the shooter regardless of political beliefs. No. Instead its about insulting the memory of the deceased by inserting your petty politics where they don't belong.

Guys like that are way too common, especially online, these days.

I'm all for people having the freedom to live without a religion or spiritual faith, but in some communities the fight for that freedom just overshoots into "bash, shame and eliminate all religions and people belonging to them whenever possible".

Wonder when these people are gonna wake up, smell the coffee and realize they have become what they hate.

Srsly tho I have been in/situations where like... Someone's grandma died. Someone else tells that person that she's in heaven now, in an attempt to soothe the pain. The person is christian so they say thank you. Everyone is happy.
Until one random douchebag decides their opinion is NEEDED to fix this situation, and goes "Your grandma rots in the earth and you will never see her again. Fucking deal with it."
Like thanks dude. You surely are fighting for what's good!
