The little things that piss you off

[elevenism]

that's nuts. so people thought that...ok let me get this shit straight...that trent reznor really knew something about a vast conspiracy? that he really sent the album back in time?
jesus, that's fucking nuts!

[allegro]

Well, no, they thought he knew something about some counterculture and subversive government water project and maybe an alien being and who the fuck knows but art is resistance was somehow gonna save us all and we could spread the word through t shirts and thumb drives hidden in bathrooms. Or something.

It wasn't nearly as sexy as Sin.

The way public libraries organize their CD's. The main branch in my city has a pretty huge selection of them, much more than your Best Buy's or Wal Mart's but slightly less than your average mom-and-pop music store. It takes me nearly half an hour to 45 minutes to browse through their Pop/Rock selection alone, because they are stacked cover facing forward so you have to go in there and sort through them as opposed to just looking closely at the spines, like with books.

Oh my. Now I'm not feeling so bad for missing out on the ARG.

Bad old days indeed.

Jesus H, I think I joined around the ARG time, and I thought it was a hell of a lot of fun, not the single most important cause in all of history... Old ETS had some real maniacs floating around, I hope they're heavily medicated by now.

Also, when he said "Now I have your attention!" it reminded me of this:


Now he has to win you over!

Fredy_brown was nuts on Toolnavy as well.

Fredy_brown was nuts on Toolnavy as well.

That wasn't Fredy being nuts, though. He was poking fun at the nut.

[Big Fat Matt]

*fredy_brown was nuts on Toolnavy.

[allegro]

Lol. He wasn't nuts here. He was Russian, wasn't he?

[Big Fat Matt]

Scandanavian. He added me on facebook for a minute and every single post was about how he knew the answers to every single world politics issue.

*fredy_brown was nuts on Toolnavy.

Lol. He wasn't nuts here. He was Russian, wasn't he?

All those old ETS folks in that thread were poking that dude. They were a good group of posters, for sure. Clearly, they've grown up and moved on.

matt, lol see that's the number one mistake: combining personal life with board life.

Its really hit or miss. I have some dudes from forums on my facebook that i truly enjoy having there.

True. One of my oldest and best friend is from a forum. You have to be really careful, though. P.s. Fredy is Czech. I liked him here on ETS!

Pisses me off: those evil trolls who were terrorizing Robin Williams' daughter, Zelda, on Twitter and Instagram. Pigs.

[NotoriousTIMP]

What was being said to Zelda on a twitter? Were they bad mouthing her or her father?

[Sarah K]

That I still let my fucking mother disappoint me after 30 years. I let her choosing her husband's family over spending time with me depress the fuck out of me, and put me in a shitty mood for the rest of my vacation. This(her choosing whatever man is in her life over her children) is a pattern that has been happening for as long as I can remember. And it still disappoints and depresses me to no end. I should fucking know better by now.

ugh, both, see this

The trolls’ accounts, @PimpStory and @MrGoosebuster, have since been suspended by Twitter, but not before tweeting Photoshopped images of Williams that appeared to show him with bruises around his neck, as if he were in a morgue. @PimpStory also tweeted “look at what he … did to himself because of you” and called Zelda a “heartless b****.” That message was retweeted 21 times.

wtf.

[Space Suicide]

When something you want to buy is still as highly priced as it was the day it was released, over a year ago, everywhere. Fucking mark that shit down already. Fuck.

[Halo Infinity]

Headphones crapping out on me.

[Jinsai]

ugh, both, see this



wtf.

That is fucked up and sad. Anonymous internet cruelty is the shittiest thing.

Oh man no kidding! i assume you're talking about games if so i can definitely relate.

[Jinsai]

Oh man no kidding! i assume you're talking about games if so i can definitely relate.

Wait till it's out of print and costs ten times what it costs now.
That happens too.

On that note, does anyone want to buy my mint condition copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga?

[Space Suicide]

Oh man no kidding! i assume you're talking about games if so i can definitely relate.

I was talking about a TV show set but games are also evil that way.

This reminds me of a little thing: A friend co-signed a student loan for his brother in-law who just finished school and should start paying off the loan. He hasn't. I went to his house for the first time and it's covered in collectables and blue ray DVDs - shelves and shelves of them. Sell that shit and pay off the measly loan. Oh and traded in his perfectly good car for a new one. Hurts my head.

[Sarah K]

While I was absent from work, someone used my coffee pot... WHICH IS FINE. BUT, they didn't clean it, and left about 2 cups worth in the carafe. It is now just covered with mold and unusable.

Fuck this.

[elevenism]

marijuana pisses me off.
i SO wish it didn't. But i don't smoke it, and when i see everyone around me prioritizing it and then talking all this hipster bullshit about how it cures cancer and such...
my best friend's wife just killed herself and we all (my wife, my brother and sister and law) went to colorado to go get him.
we stopped at a couple of dispensaries and i started getting this dull anger inside.
like i said, i hate it and it's really stupid.
i'm sure it stems from some selfish childish bullshit where everyone is happy about something and i'm not included.

[heavenly_bearded]

^^^ Fuck you!

Edit: <3, but still...

[Sarah K]

Yeah... the fuck?

Glamo(u)rizing addictions to vicodin, alcohol, etc... Awesome.

Weed... bad.

[elevenism]

@heavenly_bearded , @Sarah K , @Swykk ...
i know! i feel fucking terrible for it!
it just happens.
like i said, it's some kind of childish thing...i wish it didn't happen

and to top it off, i think weed legalization is fucking GREAT.
i'm all for it. i think it's wonderful.

i think i just feel left out that everyone is getting high but me. i mean think about who i am talking about...my best friend, my wife, my brother...these are the closest people to me in the world. i'm CERTAINLY not consciously looking down on anyone.

[playwithfire]

My roommate has a similar knee-jerk reaction to weed. The idea of me smoking it in our apartment REALLY, really, REALLY bothers him. And because he is also my friend and I respect him, I don't. Never have. It just sucks when I get really anxious and stressed and it would legit *really* help me and I can't use it. May talk to him about just keeping some in the apartment so I can take a walk and smoke if I get really stressed.
