Yeah but just to flat out say 'You have no backbone' like that just makes it sound like he takes the job way more serious than it really needs to be. I mean holy shit this guy is going to graduate and ACTUALLY be out in the work force, and he's still being all reserved and acting like the job he doesn't even care about needs someone 'better'. It just blows my mind how ridiculously serious people take this stuff.

 

'You have no backbone.' Fuckin' A.

[Collective Foal]

Show him some fucking backbone, then. Don't LET him ignore you like that. You argue with him. Get a little upset without looking like you're gonna fight him. You sir, must learn the art of confrontation. I don't like it, and nobody should, but when I have to, I do it with gusto and passion. Don't just raise your hand at the meeting. Say "I'll be the president." If he tells you no, you say "I'm sorry. I understand that even though you lead this club, you don't actually seem to give two shits about it. I, on the other hand, love this club and am willing to do what it takes to lead it. So if you're going to offer up the spot, don't take back what you said because I offered." You've got to confront him or you'll never get that spot, dude.

This fucking game.

 

So I've been playing Peace Walker recently, and I've been trying to unlock the final boss battle. I did every goddamn thing I was supposed to, followed all the requirements, and for some reason, the game just refuses to let me finish it. And the HD version on the 360 has been known to be buggy before (I haven't experienced any so far since they fixed it afaik) but I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I'm just missing something or did something wrong or what. All I know is I keep having to do the same missions over and over again hoping in vain I did everything correctly and I've been doing this for days. It's pissing me off.

 

One of my biggest problems with it is one of the requirements is to upgrade your Mother Base to two plants, and then, along with all the other requirements ( which I KNOW I've followed) it's supposed to give me access to the final battle. But I've upgraded my fucking base to at least three plants now and it STILL won't work for me! This is ridiculous! And if I'm doing anything else wrong the internet sure isn't helping me! I've looked on so many message boards, forums, strategy guides, they all say the same thing, and I've DONE everything they've said!

 

 

Why won't you let me finish you?

 

 

EDIT: Oh, and wouldn't you know it. It works for me right after I posted this. Wonderful.

I had the same problems. I made formating of the disk. It worked.

[Blightmare]

I'm hearing about so many people having problems with their copy of TF2 not working and I'm not looking forward to the day I have to go through that.

[Doom Shepherd]

Then no. That's so dishonorable. If you're going to fight someone, make it fucking clean. But if they've got a gun on me or any sort of lethal force. I'll fucking do everything I can to fucking destroy them.

 

If you're going to fight someone, WIN. Everything else is secondary.

Indeed. The thing to remember is that while there's little honor in fighting dirty, there's no honor at all in getting your ass kicked.

Goddammit Twilight it's stuck in my head, again.

What better time than in the middle of the quarter for my computer to fucking crap out on me and blow up it's hard drive. LOOK'S LIKE I'M CONFINED TO THE MAC AGAIN. Now to figure out how NOT to fail this quarter after that fucking drive took 7 weeks of work for 2 classes with it.

 

I swear to god. I don't know what deity of the OS I pissed off but I'm sick and god damned tired of having it rain misfortune after mis-fucking-fortune on my computers when I baby the thing's like they're made of glass!

 

Edit: I... I lost his picture too... Given to me shortly after getting together, and now I've lost it.

[Doublenature]

You know what? Fuck that previous post.

I just feel like going outside and beating someone up really badly and then carrying their next-to-dead body to the hospital just to fuck them good. I hate being around people, I hate school because I have to be around lots of people. Why do you put me in a school with a hell load of fucking people when I dont like people? I dont want the whole "Learn to communicate with people and be social" FUCK your stupid shit. And stop with the "Accept everyone" NO! Im not gonna do that, because I dont feel the same way about some people that I do towards others. I dont want to be around people I dislike, I dont want to sit in the same fucking room as them and learn the same things they do. And people say: "Hate is a strong word" I fucking know that, Im not THAT stupid. If I say I hate people, then I fucking hate people.

 

The swedish government claims to be "accepting towards all" but when someone disagrees with their multi-cultural communist shit, then they get silenced or visited (and threatened) by the swedish military police. Freedom of speech is only ok when it agrees with everyone else. Im sick of this lie, Im sick of the government saying that everyone has the right to express their own culture and so on, but when I wear a shirt with a swedish flag I get called racist, because its not "fair" to the immigrants. You know what? If they come here than they should adapt. This year we were encouraged NOT to sing the national anthem. Are you being serious? Fuck you and your false lies. I hope that the nationalist party takes over next election and fixes this shit. And people say: "There are no real swedes" OH REALLY? One of my ancestors was an admiral in the swedish fleet in the 1600s, does that make me FUCKING DANISH?! Go die in a goddamn pit of fire and suffer for all eternity in hell.

I'm out of beef bouillon cubes for my mildly spicy beef bouillon broth. RAGE

 

BTW, the ingredients are a bowl of water, 1 cube, 1/32 tsp of cayenne pepper and a variable ammount of regular pepper. Microwave for 2+ minutes. It tastes best at night. But I can't have it tonight because I'm out of cubes.

I don't have very many things to vent about.

MMMM so tasty.

 

EDIT: I also only drink the broth. No noodles or anything else.

 

EDIT2: I just turned a vent into something that is something other than venting. How do I keep accidentally going off topic?

Turns out my cousin bought the Omega DLC for ME3 and isn't sharing, despite the fact that he said he would.

 

Motherfucker.

Doublenature, you should seriously consider a therapist. That much pent up rage at the world is not a good thing whatsoever.

 

The other strategy is to be like me. Just. Stop. Caring. I stopped caring about humanity and the government and all that helpless bullshit and it's made me quite the mellow, likeable, and people-loving guy.

 

Also, please explain why you hate being around people so much. Searching for the sources of your problems is very helpful to solving them.

[BTGBullseye]

Why is it a problem to hate crowds? I hate crowds... The people in them are pre-programed to stop thinking for themselves.

 

Pent up rage is awesome when you get into a fight, since you become unbeatable when you release it. (and you scare the shit out of your opponent)

 

Stopping caring only works some of the time, usually it just makes the undesirables leave you alone, but do it too much and people will walk all over you.

Ive been to 3 different therapists already. Only one has helped me so far. Im considering trying it again, Im not so sure, though.

 

I would love to not care, but its not always the best thing to do. I do my best to live for the moment, though. But sometimes you just have to care.

 

Im not 100% sure, but there are probably several causes why I dislike being around people.

I was bullied as a kid. Ive had bad self-esteem ever since.

In the 5th-6th grade summer, I was at a friends birthday party where some things occured, which probably has changed alot. I was incredibly depressed all summer and through the entire 6th grade, wanted to commit suicide etc.

After I got over that, I started acting aggressively against everyone. I got rid of alot of my friends, I had kind of a self-destructive behaviour. This all stopped after I went to a therapist to help me control my anger.

There was also a guy in my class who was in love with me, but I think the real problem was how much was going on at the same time, so I got kinda stressed.

So I think all of this (and other things) has caused me not to like being around people. I had bad self-esteem back then, I have bad self-esteem now. I dont want to be at friends houses and such. I dont like it when my birthday comes around because I have to speak with people, be with people I dont want to be around. I appreciate that people care ofcourse, but I dont want to be around them.

 

Even though Ive gotten help with controlling my anger, I still loose it sometimes. The problem is that I seek out fights with people, dont know why (probably has something to do with above text) but I just do. And I enjoy fighting aswell. There was a time when I was out with friends during the soccer-cup thats here every year, and looked for norweigan kids to fight (there are mostly norweigans here at that time). They never did us any harm, we (especially me) were just out to get into fights. This was a release of anger that I didnt have later on, and I kept it inside me. (Lets face it, I cant be out beating up 12-14 year old norweigan soccer boys anymore).

I'm not sure if you're looking for advice or comments on this, although you have posted it on a public forum, however I do apologise if I offend you in any way with the following.

 

If everyone stops caring, things will not improve. Yes stopping caring may reduce someone's stress level in their life for a while, but it's only delaying the inevitable.

 

Unfortunately this statement doesn't really help you. Advised not to sing your own national anthem? That sounds somewhat silly, political correctness gone well and truly mad. However, whilst there are plenty of twats, idiots and scum in the world, none are exclusive to any one particular culture. Being tempted to injure people because they're immigrants isn't really a good attitude to have. If they're immigrating, living off the state, not working and doing no good for the economy because they're lazy, then fine. But judge people by their personalities and by their merits, but not by their nationality.

 

As for self-esteem, I can only advise you to look to what your current skills are. People often say this, and I know myself in 'the past' I'd say nothing of merit, nothing of value, but the truth is if you have the capacity to learn something, if you're capable of physical activity and you have the spare time to available, then focus on one particular thing you would much rather be better in. Becoming good at something, or having something you can draw upon, anything at all, from being able to play a musical instrument like the piano to being good at running, can be a good source of self-esteem. If you find you can still do stuff but still feel that you are lacking in self-esteem, then try to improve. I subscribe to the philosophy that there is always room for improvement, and that anyone can do almost anything given enough time and practice.

 

I also apologise if I have misinterpreted anything you have said.
