Pony haters.

 

I couldn't give a shit less about MLP, but I'm fucking sick of of hearing about self righteous Rainbow Dash murder fantasies.

 

I hear ya, same thing with athiests who think they are so cool when bashing religions...

Why cant people just keep their opinions to themselves ?

Isn't the whole point of being an atheist to avoid religious confrontation?

[Chuckthe2nd]

^^ Funny ol' world, ain't it? Atheists get into more religious arguments than just about anyone else.

[Alyxx Thorne]

Kinda like how some Christians are guilty of more hate than anyone else, even if the religion is supposed to promote tolerance, acceptance, respect and peace.

[Doublenature]

Its just so stupid. Why cant we just let people believe what they believe? As long as they dont scream it in your face.

[Pinkie Pie]

Because people have differing opinions and they feel the need to vent about it, or in many cases, feel its their 'duty' to prove other people wrong.

(This isn't an angry vent, just a "WTF I don't know what to do AAAAA" vent)

 

I just had one of the most difficult conversations I've ever had online.

 

I edited some guy's MLP fanfic once, and he kept telling me how grateful he was. One day he asked to borrow my degreaser on TF2 (my favorite pyro weapon, and the only one I had), and when I got it back it had name AND description tags that essentially said "thank you for editing my MLP fic."

 

I'll get shit for being a brony on any non-pony server, and on pony servers I'll just get requests to be an editor. The name itself is long and clunky and overly personal. I can't take the name off because tags are hard to find and I don't want to be a douche to such a nice guy. It's my only one, though, so I can't just keep it in the backpack as a keepsake. Really it was just poorly thought over, but I'm not going to say that. And, of course, he asked me if I liked it or not. I said "look over there!" then went offline, I just had no clue how to continue. When I did go back online, I just admitted I couldn't say something nice and was instead saying nothing at all, and he gave me another degreaser, then we both kind of shuffled away slowly to write our fics.

 

That's kind of like borrowing your car, going to the paint shop, and getting a detail saying "thank you for helping me move." Now every friend you have is gonna ask you to help move, but you can't get rid of it because your friend paid good money to get it on there and you don't want to look like an ass. Also it looks ugly.

Shiny, here's the thing about Passive-Aggression. When you rant at another group of people about something someone else did that you're not so stellar about, that's actually what you need to tell the person directly. Tell him "I really do appreciate the thought, man, but I've been getting all these requests because of my weapon, so it's just a little bothersome to be bombarded like that. I know you meant well by it, but it just doesn't work out for me," or something like that. Be polite, but also be honest. It's a fine line to walk, but your life gets so much better when you develop some balance.

[Mr. ShinyObject]

It wasn't so much passive-aggression as just avoidance. I would never lie about it, but I wasn't going to be a ungrateful, and I couldn't just say nothing because he asked me about it. I just had absolutely no idea what to say. If you want I can post or PM the conversation.

[Collective Foal]

Nah, that's okay. I'm just saying it's usually best to be straightforward about it. If he's got a pair of testacles between his legs, he won't be very bothered by it, so you shouldn't either.

I thought you said you weren't sexist.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm kidding.

So, I was downloading a 300 MB file (about 40 minutes download time). A storm came up at about halfway through. The power went off for about three seconds when the download was at 98%. Of course, it was ruined.

 

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

I've done absolutely nothing worthwhile this summer. I barely go outside anymore and most of my friends stopped talking to me. I've decided I want to start working out to keep myself occupied, so I tell my mom that I'm going to start jogging in the morning. She looks at me like I'm crazy for wanting to step outside, and she throws a giant fit and starts arguing with me, saying she doesn't want me hanging out with the wrong people and getting thrown in jail or dying in the streets. (The cold, hard streets of suburbia *Shudders*.) Despite the fact that nobody really talks to me anymore.

Tha's pretty much my situation but my Dad wants me outside and I want to stay in.

Indeed. It seems everyone will need to rename a non-Steam game "restart Steam, damnit!"

I just change my username.

[Scorpia]

...Chuck, I'm doing that from now on. also, the non-steam game thing isn't a bad idea as well.
