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. 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.
On another note, my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for over a year and my reproductive organs apparently suck.
@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!
Is this a real thing? I tried to learn Tarot card reading about 10 years ago when I was heavy into Wicca but I never really went anywhere with it. Whatever I learned definitely didn't stick. Lately I've been on essential oils for fertility and stress relieving crystals though so nothing is off the table
@YangKoete What's the financial compensation like?
@Aspie_Gamer I interpret it as a very poorly-worded call to action rather than an insult to the victims. Nobody ever thinks their own politics are petty.
Personally I hold that preventing this sort of thing would involve not just overhauling the mental health system and the gun laws but also the entire structure of society. Because a lot of terrorists aren't crazy so much as they are marginalized.
@hotsubsandwich I'd say it's real, but you really have to check it out for yourself. People have used the cards to have conversations with tumors, flower gardens, and so on.
It's just that I'm sure you've already done all the sensible things. Off-the-wall suggestions are all I have.
This is a weird question but is there modern day tension between Swedish and Finnish people? When I was a kid my best friend was Swedish- Australian. Her mother was Swedish and dad was Aussie. Later on I heard from my Grandfather that our Great grandfather immigrated to Aus from Finland. I told my friend that and then she just stopped talking to me. She wouldn't even tell me why. o_o
@hotsubsandwich When I talked to my unborn child, it was saying "I want to be born, I want to live," just over and over.
Made me feel bad about aborting it.
@joe_galindez I mean, Michael's is having a sale on their Halloween supplies... Don't give me too many funny ideas. Xp Thanks fellow human, you brought me much laughter while I was stressing out!
