The Bitching thread 2.0

[Heliox14]

yeah. me neither.
i thought it just closed down because of a post limit.
then...well...

why do we need to close down those types of things, anyway..?

[Zugaikotsu]

For my standards, and for standards' internet in general, things were calm. But well, maybe the mod could see the storm coming and it was a matter of time until someone get really triggered and start some real drama. Pc Culture, BL and Tapas and Webtoons 'controversial' ways to deal with stats always end up in a brawl!

"Let them fight!"

The way you're going to see brand-new, unconventional ideas is through bloodshed.
People will get hurt, but invariably, that's how the world works.
Regrettably.

[Zugaikotsu]

Yes, unfortunatelly. Pioneers always get some good beats before people listen to them!

[Heliox14]

Hai.

While we're here busy bemoaning the hardships of visionaries...
Why would they not be heard right the first time?

[spicy_sweets]

@NickRowler @DiegoPalacios Nah, he just got too close while I walked to the store telling me I was overdressed for the weirdly warm weather and attempting to unbutton my coat. So, the second option, I think.

Thanks!

There is no post limit (as you can see on this thread).

It was closed down because the overall tone devolved, just asking for a blow-up.

This forum has very high standards on what is acceptable compared what you usually find on forums I suppose. If you want blood and war, I'm sure you will have no problem finding it in other forums. There is really no place for that here.

Some users don't like that, for others it's not strict enough. I'm screwed either way I choose. XD

[Jenny-Toons]

I think there's no fault in that.

Sometimes, people take things WAY out of proportions, away from the topic at hand no less, and it just spirals out of control.

And I think it helps people to sorta step back, maybe breathe a bit, and try again without all that arguing. Sides, forums in general are supposed to be places where you can relax, chat with people, maybe share a few ideas. All that arguing ruins the fun for everyone.

2018 may be the year when I start growing grey hair because of you guys ;D

nooo, you sound like my mom!

you really are a good mod though. nothing phases you XD

[ratique]

nooo, you sound like my mom!

I was in my 20s when I came to this forum, now I'm in my 30s and definitely in mom territory D: I believe I will grow old here. Old and grey.

And thank you, I appreciate it. Not everyone would agree, but it's nice to know there is one that does XD

But we are in the bitching thread, so back to the bitching. Tuesdays are the worst. I know people have a thing for Monday, but no Tuesday is the day where dreams come to die.

[UrMom]

Last week my boss said I got 6 months till I lose my fulltime position, which means going from making a little over 2k a month to $200 a month. Ironically, last Monday my mom lost her job again because the company she worked for sold out to someone else who laid off the last 3 groups of people who went through training. She happened to be in one of those 3 groups.
So, if we don't figure something out within these 6 months we'll be homeless. Fun stuff.

[ratique]

You think you can find a new job? Having a 6 months lead time is great, most jobs give you none.

But overall, that sucks. I've been in a similar position as your mom before. It's really heartbreaking. But after the first shock, you need to get back onto your feet and apply like crazy.

[UrMom]

I've been trying for years, but most employers don't want to pay employees my wage, or employ fulltime. Which sucks cuz what I'm making now is juuust enough to pay bills and get all our necessities. The employment rate in our city is absolute garbage. I only have a job now cuz I sold my soul to uncle sam a few years ago as a last resort, but I haven't been able to get an interview with anyone on the outside ever since.

Oh gosh, we've been getting kicked down, and getting up so much that I'm totally indifferent to it all by now. I'm not sure if I'll even feel anything if we do lose our home and pets. What really sucks is my mom is partially disabled, she blew out some discs in her back so now she can't commute without feeling extreme pain, she can't much labor intensive stuff at all actually. So it kind of adds to the stress.

[SoFt]

Tuesdays are the worst. I know people have a thing for Monday, but no Tuesday is the day where dreams come to die.

I'v been telling people for several years now that I hate Tuesday more than any other day of the week. It's the worst. It's just a nothing day!

• Wednesday: Hump Day! Halfway there!
• Thursday: Day before Friday!
• Friday: It's Friday!!! =D
• Saturday: Saturday! Recover from fun times and/or get ready for fun times.
• Sunday: Rest up before Monday.
• Monday: First day of the work/school week (for most)
• Tuesday: FUCK YOU, THAT'S WHY!

Hate it -_- .

[ratique]

Yes, finally someone understands without me having to explain!

It's also the day I'm most tired on.

[punkarsenic]

idk man. i think arguments lead to people thinking out their ideas in full and coming to new conclusions, for sure. but fights? ppl simplify their side down to one point and stick to it no matter what. its what makes the atmosphere here so frustrating - you cant have a nuanced discussion when this stuff happens, because people are getting invested, theyre not thinking through their arguments. and people get dogpiled. its so hard to think clearly when you get dogpiled.

[SoFt]

I feel that. The weather in my neck of the woods is cycling pretty rapidly these days, so my sinuses are going wild T_T .

[punkarsenic]

[Shanny8]

Except that there some people that love being argumentative about topics such as the one that was closed down. I dont really say much coz once certain people start to become unreasonable, logic goes out the door.
