Misomie Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 My puppy's food obsession. I was packing everything for a trip to my bf's and she kept trying to steal the dog food. I got fed up and locked it in her kennel. She FLIPPED OUT! She was whining, screaming, whimpering, ect. She started digging, chewing, jumping on the kennel, and general flipping out. I ignored her and let her throw her THIRTY MINUTE LONG tantrum. She finally gave up and laid on top of the kennel, looking sad. She had her dinner less than an hour before... Omg puppy!

I'm having difficulty wrapping my head around how someone can be one and not be aware of how nonsensical it is. This is where I have to draw the line in accepting someone's idea of themselves. I don't believe in dragons or fairies. They aren't real and you saying you believe you are one isn't going to make me think those are real things that exist. Because they fucking aren't. This is one of those times where I really don't get it. Someone tried to explain fae/faer/faers/faerself to me by telling me that those are pronouns you use when your gender is "fairy or fae".  How can that be a gender? Fairy is some kind of noun thing, like a cat, and cats tend to come in male and female. If it has a gender or gender expression how can it be a gender? I mean you're already pushing crazy town when you try to say that you're a fairy when I can see quite plainly that you're a sapient critter of the homo variety. Saying fairy is your gender strikes me like saying that your gender is Bob. Bob is a person, he exists independently of you, Bob and most people who observe bob would agree that bob is an entity on his own not a sex or gender. And, again, I just plain don't believe in some of these creatures, I don't believe in demons, fairies, dragons or unicorns. How can your gender/species/whatever realistically be something that doesn't even exist and why should I have to respect your pronoun if I'm 100% sure it's something you just made up? I literally do not believe in the thing you're telling me you are and frankly I'm wondering if you're suffering from special snowflake syndrome or being some kind of passive aggressive anti-transgender troll. And while they sometimes claim they have no control over what their awakened self is, it doesn't escape me that they're all something cool and majestic like dragons. I don't see anyone claiming they awakened one day and discovered their species/gender is a bonnacon. (Though that is probably the best fit I've seen for some of these people. It sprays flaming shit all over everything. x) My brain hurts, this shit does not compute. Please please please tell me none of them are actually serious about this because I really can't tell.  I found a journal on Fur affinity a short time ago, in which several users were commenting on a video that criticised otherkin. They reached the conclusion that, because feelings might get hurt, that it was 'hate speech'.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I know is, the amount of touching and affection by manimals far exceeds what I ever see in human behavior, yet everyone seems to be lonely, all the time, forever. Either sad-crying lonely, like half of the forum, or acting-out-for-attention lonely, like the other half. As for me, I find it hard not to want to type *comforts* or *holds* when someone's feeling bad. I feel silly doing it, it's a bad habit from other manimals in my life. I really have to cut that shit out, it's embarrassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vallium Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Why my brother likes these awful prank videos. One was a guy asking a random stranger on a bus stop if he'd like a ride, to which he eventually agreed, proceeding to fake being a serial killer and hiding a body in the trunk. That was real mortal panic on that persons face. The other was some dude dressed as a muslim and throwing a backpack on the ground in a store before running off, causing crowds of people to scream and run. How is that guy not arrested? Â Also...those clothes with shirt and pants attached so they look like overalls but theyre dresses. Why do girls wear those? Bluh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly, I do like the ones where people toss someone a pillow and have a spontaneous  pillow fight. Those are fun. Few pranks are well thought out or fun and lighthearted, though. Some people just think a prank is shock factor and saying 'lol jk just a prank'. And on that note it also bugs me to see people apathetic, grumpy, indifferent, or straight up angry over a harmless prank.

Rassah Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Yours and Hux's. Both options are great. If you had bought $100 worth of BTC 5 years ago, you'd have $55,000 now. And Uber lets you earn as much as $300 extra just on weekend evenings, if you need help paying down loans or to make an emergency purchase if something breaks. There are tons of other opportunities that come and go constantly, but people ignore them, shun them, or make fun of them, only to angrily resent and lash out at them after they realized they missed them. I wouldn't say this is a thing I don't understand, though. I do understand why they do it. I just wish that didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say this is a thing I don't understand, though. I do understand why they do it. I just wish that didn't. Five years ago I didn't have $100. Also, I can't drive because information overload = migraine within minutes (hypervigilance + being quite observant in general, I take in EVERYTHING I see, and if I'm moving quickly like I would be in a car, that's a shit load to take in, too quickly), so I can't really practice to get a license, and driving would be incredibly irresponsible. I've tried, but always have to stop. Doesn't stop people pressuring me to learn to drive, though. As for other opportunities, I know you're not specifically referencing any opportunities  (since I don't talk about such things), but there isn't much I can say I've missed. I apply for jobs I can do, get rejected. Game studios I've worked with refuse to hire me, indie devs I've worked with have been unanimously incompetent at their jobs, resulting in projects failing, etc. etc. Not much I've been doing wrong in my end besides being fucked beyond the help of therapy, so I can't apply for every job that comes my way. Just a constant stream of shitty luck and people thinking they'd much rather try to get me working for free. Also, inb4 "lol not blocked". I just had to look since obviously that post was gonna be replying to me. 25 minutes ago, Hux said: @ChaosCalix Hope I'm not who you blocked... Back on topic- I don't understand weaboos. I saw your post, so nope~  On topic: I wanna say "Magnets", but I think I already did that joke So I'll go with: Why businesses think it's fair to keep a person working voluntarily instead of talking to them about an actual paid job, when they do a better job than most of the people they pay to do said job.

Rassah Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) So, work for free. Are you good? Can you work with others? Instead of applying for jobs, why not make something yourself? Make friends with others who might have similar ideas, or skills you would need to manage it, advertise it, and bring it to the market. And if you have experience with incompetent indie devs and their incompetence, all the better. You know what not to do, what kind of people to avoid, and maybe even what should be done better than those incompetent devs. Try to do what they could not. What's the worst that could happen? Or even expand and try other things besides just game dev as a job. There are probably lots of things that would greatly benefit from hypervigilance. Being Sherlock Holmes for instance  EDIT: Oh, didn't realize you blocked me, since that was edited later after I started writing my reply.

Rassah Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) Why do people not ask for raises, not ask to be compensated, and I guess in general don't value themselves and don't understand their self worth? Â Why do software developers look for and apply for jobs at companies in their physical area? This is a fairly common theme, where someone complains about lack of programming jobs where they live. It's a big world, and you don't need an office to code. Edited January 18, 2016 by Rassah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
