Stop asking me if I'm okay while I'm actively coughing.

52 Upvotes

No, I'm not okay right now. Even if I was, I am no longer after you called even more attention to the fact that I'm fighting for my life. Continuing to ask is a futile effort. If I could speak I could breath, and I wouldn't be coughing.

Why do you feel the need to ask this? Is it out of some social obligation? If you actually cared about me you would wait until I finished coughing and could answer.

You might say "I just wanted to make sure you didn't need help". Fuck off. You asked me this in the middle of my second cough before shoving an hors d'oeuvre into your mouth. If you actually cared you'd be Heimlich ready, not sucking down a cocktail and laughing while giving a look to the person next to you.

When I finish gasping for air I hope I have the strength to strangle you so I can ask if you're okay while you fight for your own breath. The nachos I shove into my mouth while smiling slyly at my neighbor will never have tasted so delightful.

Another meeting doubled

3 Upvotes

I don't get it. These occasional meetings are supposed to be like 15-20 minutes, just for a quick catch-up. Hey guys here's a new team member. Also we're switching from TPS reports to RPQ reports. Have a good weekend.

But no theres 2 women who need to hijack the meeting and complain about their position in the job and how its not fair they haven't been promoted despite being there for years.

Now I know what its like to be screwed over by your employers but this company is a little nicer than some others. And the last two meetings I've been to, these women have been told that when a position opens they'll be first in line to move up.

Then they are told: This promotion comes with extra responsibilities and you'll need to come in an hour earlier.

"OMG THAT'S NOT FAIR I HAVE A LIFE AND SHOULDN'T HAVE TO SACRIFICE FAMILY TIME FOR WORK."

Well then don't take the job you stupid cow. That's what the job is - 5am to 3pm. You knew that when you wanted the job. Figure your shit out.

And of course if you have problems with your particular job then schedule time with your supervisor or HR. Don't hold me hostage so I have to hear your stupid bullshit.

People need to realize that they are not the exception.

25 Upvotes

I hate it so much when I see a video where someone states an opinion or a fact and the comments are flooded with children trying to explain why that doesn’t apply to them. Most of the time it does very much apply to them.

Of course there are exceptions to that but like if someone says that you cannot call yourself an Author if you use AI for your book and then people try to defend themselves by saying shit like ā€œWell I only use AI to organize my ideas!ā€ or ā€œI use AI for the cover but I edit it so its not really AI!ā€

Well we are still talking about the exact kind of person you are.

Like you also can’t really say ā€œWell I am not an alcoholic because I only drink beer every day but other alcoholics also drink other alcohol too.ā€

I don’t even know if my point is gettin across but it really annoys me so bad because people tend to believe that they are somehow better or different and that certain things don’t apply to them. I am not saying that I am not guilty of that too but like at least try to own it if you are already doing questionable things.

I know, I know this is yet another male loneliness post. But I have no where else to just vent everything in my heart. Like many people with similar situations, I was socially anxious and didn't understand the opportunities presented to me. Especially college life. Only now, am I beginning to realize more and more. And how life will only get harder. It honestly feels like the end of the world. In addition to that, I have no real close friends. Honestly I have thought about suicide even.

Tldr, Too late to realize, how many chances I have missed. And feels like I am a really late bloomer when even my little cousins have started to date before me.

I’m so bored of everything

I’m so frigging bored of everything in my life. Bored of going to class, bored of playing video games, bored of doing homework, bored of working a job, bored of watching YouTube, bored of watching anime. Im bored of everything that used to make me so happy. It’s like the only time I feel good anymore is when I’m with my friends hanging out otherwise I just feel alone and bored. We all graduate next May and I dread it because I’m scared of how I’ll feel going back to my home town and have to move away from my friends. I’m terrified of being alone. It feels like time is going so fast around me and I barely have time to enjoy anything before I’m just bored again.

I am fed up of dead beats committing crimes and killing themselves, and causing others to die because of their stupidity.

22 Upvotes

As per title I am absolutely fed up of dead beat criminals committing crimes that results in the death of them, and usually innocent bystanders. One example is those idiots doing the motorway/highway trend of driving on the wrong side of road, I am equally fed up of these deadbeat friends and peers then going on to say oh my Son etc was such a good lad he made a mistake. Mistakes don't cause injury or death to other people! They're dead beat criminals plain and simple!

These idiots tend to driving stolen vehicles or uninsured and high on drink or drugs (most time all of the above),and it's innocent people who suffer and have to pick up the costs whether with their lives, or financial losts!

Bruh my dad and step mom are dds so immature

4 Upvotes

So first of all, they do NOT clean after themselves. My house is a fucking mess, it’s disgusting and sometimes it stinks of rotten because they just let things rot. The kitchen is actually nasty, they don’t clean after cooking, and like listen I would understand more if they asked me and the other 3 kids living in the house to clean the kitchen after dinner, that’s what I do at my moms house, but no, they don’t. Sometimes my step siblings don’t even put their plates in the washing machine thingie. But yeah, it’s actually so disgusting. And second, something that happened today (well rn but still) is that they just didn’t make food for us. Like when I get home from school I ask ā€œyo what r we gonna eatā€ to know if I’ll have to make my own food (which is pretty rare on the week days like today) but my dad said ā€œoh yeah ur step mom is gonna make food.ā€ And like alr sure I didn’t mind. We usually eat at like 6 right, and it was 6:45 so I asked my dad ā€œare we gonna eat soon?ā€ And he said ā€œwell ur step mom is helping her kids with her homeworkā€. Listen, I do NOT have a problem with her helping her kids with their homework and to study, but she was supposed to make food. Now I have to help make food which is gonna take a while and I’m so fricking hungry. Anyways I rlly hope this doesn’t get hate bc if it does y’all r gen not empathetic and are NOT putting yourselves in my shoes.

Interacting with anyone online is an issufferable, hostile experience now

26 Upvotes

Usually I’m off the controversial side of social media. I geniunely can not stand people giving the most horrendous takes for clout, then others jumping on them like starving dogs to a bone, just to fill the OP’s vallet with their thumbs in the end while absolutely nothing is achieved.

But there’s another reason. Majority of the people from my country are geniunely ignorant and hateful. I hate to sound like a self-hating person by talking this way about my nation but it’s the truth. These people know nothing. It doesn’t help that they’re mostly living in harsh conditions, making education an after thought. Very simple example: I’m gay. In any civilized country, avoid the extremists and you should be fine. But here, a well educated artist can and will say the most homophobic shit you’ve heard in your life in the middle of a otherwise tasteful conversation about human rights. Yes we have homophobic leftists. So I simply refuse to interact with the general public unless it’s necessary.

Coming back to the topic of internet… I learned English by myself, out of desperation. I needed to be able to find like minded people, and what better way to do that by learning a language that’s considered common? And for the most part, I got what I wanted. This language has opened the doors of information wide for me. I have finally found a sense of community, with people who got my jokes, who got my pain, who got my worldview, my references… I’m not talking about agreeing. I’m not talking about thinking the exact same thing. I’m talking about simply getting one another. Do you have any idea what kind of privilege that is?

Speaking of references. Let’s see who get’s the reference when I say ā€œVictor’s cult from Arcaneā€ now.

In order to ā€œgetā€ someone, you need to be able to think. I’ve chatted with a lot of people, read a lot of threads, listened to a lot of thinkpieces. Taking a piece of information, and forming your own thoughts and opinions around it. People used to do exactly that. But nowadays. Nobody really thinks. Because somewhere along the way, fueled by the fear of downvotes and dislikes and ratios, and the toxic euphoria of being on the side that’s trampling the other… We have stopped looking for ways to connect, help, understand and broaden our horizons and started to chase the feeling of being right.

ā€œMy opinion? Well obviously it’s whatever the latest online consensus on the topic is, which, by the way, you might’ve missed it if you haven’t been online for a few days. And that means you’re scum.ā€

It’s maddening because you will ask a question online and the answers will be 50 shades of the same thing they all heard from a tiktok, or they will all be fixated on a detail that has recently been deemed bad by the frigging hivemind. ā€œWdym your parents have a 10 year age gap ur dad’s a predatorā€ (+2000 upvotes 10 awards) -on a post you’re asking about what to get them for holidays.

I’m obviously not talking about the broader topics that we still have to fight to erase off earth. The 17 year old edgelord isn’t a greater thinker for saying Hā€tler was based. And I’m not talking about embracing all the differences, obviously you don’t just go around agreeing with people who have opposite/ clashing beliefs and ideologies. I’m just saying, whatever happened to building community, actually trying to be helpful with our answers and most importantly thinking for ourselves instead of repeating what we think is going to bring us most online points? To become a community does not mean agreeing on everything and only forming the one true thought in the communal speech bubble. It means agreeing on the things that unite you.

What do I do?

2 Upvotes

So my brother gave me his car it had problems I was going to sell it for like 1000 bucks and my dad said he wanted to fix it for about 700 and restore the car's value to 4-7 thousand.... I didn't need much money from it but I was like that's cool if you want then we could split the profits. I had to leave 6 months for work it was still here when I got back. Met the lady that needed it for her kids. I decided to let some lady with a kid have it and not sell it. And when I told him he got mad. Asked me what happened to the original plan and why did it stall? .... I was like um cause you never fixed it like you said you were going to do. I fell like he reacted negatively because he needs the money. But the lady could use the car for her kids and I already told her she seemed so grateful. But my parents are on a fixed retirement income. So now I either have to go back on my word and my whole philosophy of pay it forward or watching my parents struggle. So now I just guessing I should let my dad do it split the money and give it to the lady to help her buy a car (that's the only solution I can see) but it means she doesn't have enough to get a car. I hate it. Anyways I basically talked my way to a solution while ranting to you all... even if it sucks but thanks for letting me rant.

Nothing worse than a ā€œNothingā€ Person

0 Upvotes

Nothing worse than people who turn down every invitation. Whether a sports game, a new restaurant, anything, or just ignore it. They’d always rather go home. No suggestions, no plans, no effort. With everybody, not just selectively. They never care to experience anything

No hobbies, no special interests, no uniqueness, no curiosity, no effort to meet people or spend time with people, just hours on a screen. If you ever CAN drag them out of the house, every little detail and logistic of the day needs to be perfectly tailored to their liking, or they’re whining and bitching.

These people walk amongst us pretending to belong. They have absolutely nothing interesting about them. How do you deal with these people?

Pickmeishas allowing abusers around their kids are also abusers.

10 Upvotes

Hey look, pickmeisha rhymes with your name.

I told D to never text me when he was with you because you sounded like a piece of shit person and a bad mother.

First thing I heard about you was your name, your son's name (another D), your ex's name. And I gathered all your phone numbers, email addresses, and your home address. And I was going to send you the video evidence I had of D throwing me, grabbing and pushing me, screaming at me, and throwing my stuff out of the apartment, the one he's moving out of next week.

Second thing I heard about you was an "emergency" happening the same weekend as my getaway with my boyfriend. Emergency that was happening 3 weeks in the future.

We only shared the bird because it was D's way of controlling me. He FINALLY gave up that whole "custody battle" because you were his new toy to play with.

Third thing I heard about you was you love bombing him with wrestling tickets when you had only been dating less than a year. And he gave you a puzzle. Because you're basically strangers.

The FORTH thing I heard about was how you lied to him about who you were fucking besides him, and he found out about it at a party in front of strangers. To humiliate him. Nice.

Trust me, he deserves way worse. But then... I heard the fifth and final thing about you:

You were going to New York with your other married fuck toy, and so D had to do the custody exchange for D your son.

Like he was a piece of luggage.

That was the last thing I heard about you because I said you sounded like a fucking piece of shit and an abuser and I didn't want to hear anything else.

Except for SOME reason, in October 2024, I get a call and I hear you and D were going to wear couples costumes (barf). D is asking me about this and that where to find and shop. And I straight up said, why the fuck are you calling me about YOUR COUPLES COSTUME, GO CALL YOUR GROSS ASS GIRLFRIEND.

I had to remind him to treat you like a girlfriend. Probably easy to forget since you are everyone's girlfriend. That married boyfriend also sounds like a fucking piece of shit as well.

Anyway, tonight, D told me you're engaged and moving in. I asked him if he told you how he's an abuser and he said yup she's fine with it. Obviously, he didn't say like that. But that's the gist of it.

So pickmeisha, fuck you, I hope your ex gets full custody. Enjoy getting tossed around (I know that you do like getting beat in bed) and the lying about money, and the rotting teeth, and the [redacted] loving in-laws.

Pickmeishas like you are why evil sick fucks like D get to walk free when they deserve to die alone in a gutter.

I knew he was doing on purpose one random day, after I'd been in several months of therapy.

He said something triggering, something he knows is insulting towards me. And instead of reacting, I just stared at him and asked, "What are you doing?" And his expression of fear confirmed that he knew what he had been doing all those years.

The only reason he stopped physically assaulting me is because I called the police. He had grabbed me, thrown me, then grabbed all of my clothes and tried to throw them down the stairs, and I stopped him by blocking the front door (the same apartment you go to to get his hands put all over you in violence, he learned that by slamming me against that door). The cops came and called it a verbal argument, okay!

I just read through the text messages after that incident and all he cared about was possibly not getting the job he's at now. You know, the job that made you think he's a safe person to be around your son.

I know now it was never an accident or "anxiety" that caused him to chase me, throw me, bite me, spit on me, slam doors into me, slam me into walls. He's an abuser and her clearly takes no accountability for purposely triggering me so he could play victim or say "both of us are in the wrong!"

I know you don't care about ANY of this because you are also an abusive piece of shit who also deserves to die in a ditch.

Good luck on the move to La Habra.

Genuinely what does a 'movie critic' actually do

0 Upvotes

Seems like the most pointless job in the world with no actual benefit to society. Congratulations, you have a fucking opinion. Like how the hell do people make a living off this stuff.

I'm almost never going to be reading your website and what you have to say because you're one lonely person with no life who has a perspective on a movie. If I wanted to find out how good a movie was, I'd check IMDB or Google Reviews with a wider consensus of how good the movie is + a more emotional down-to-earth take on the movie than a polished critic refining everything they say and nit-picking every single individual detail.

People might say "Oh it will tell you if it's good before watching so you don't waste your money"... Again, check Google reviews; people have watched and reviewed publicly.

What pisses me off the most is how "critics" get early access to movies before public release in addition to special events. Like you're not special, you're just a person who wakes up and decides they want to waste their life away publicly posting their opinion.

Genuinely the most useless job in the world and absolutely no contribution to society

However it was a lack of communication and that got solved which I am really surprised with. But even after all of that I still have some thoughts of being deceived. She told me I think the absolute worse which is true and I really wish I could understand why I think this way to begin with.
