rants Haters/Complainers: Legacy of Spleen

Well, today certainly came out swinging. I….I, uh…..whatever.

[Mode 7]

Getting called names I caught you stealing. I may be "dumb as fuck" but I'm not dumb enough to risk going to jail over some beef jerky and a pop.

People 

I don't like them 

I don't trust them 

I don't believe them

[The_annoying_one]

Yeah, I’ll take a tornado watch right on top of one of the worst days I’ve had in recent memory. Thanks, karma. Appreciate it.

[Mode 7]

Haven't had heat since Thursday and the heating and cooling guy just seems to ignore my calls. And winter just won't go away this week and this is why I hate spring. It just never warms up until late April and they turn the heat off way too early. And on top of all that I basically have no water. I flush the toilet and knew something was wrong so I look outside my window and yep a broken water main spewing water all over the street. Who knows how long fixing it will take so I guess I better douse my self in cologne before work.

[The_annoying_one]

Completely locked out of my bank account because someone apparently hacked me. Only thing I can do is somehow find a ride in the pouring rain and talk to the bank face-to-face about having my account fully rebuilt. This better not mean the money I had in my account is just gone.

I feel violent right now.

It’s so profoundly stupid for a game to have 8 save files and not give an option to manually delete any in usage. Way to make it more of a pain in the ass for the memory card I’ve never needed to switch out in twenty years.

When I went to bed last night, how was I supposed to know that I would wake up in hell today?

Any major politician showing up at a sporting event, regardless if you support them or not, sucks dick.  It adds so much time to the process of getting in the damn arena.

That being said, fuck Trump.

The semester is wrapping up, the amount of unnecessary busy work before finals is unfolding.

 

I can usually deal with it, but this screams absolute laziness. A teacher who couldn't be bothered to respond to emails all semester is now wanting to skip verifying student's work cited pages by having them send screen shots along with it

Part of me is really tempted to make up a bunch of fake article websites and send those in 

It's been about 20 years since I've seen one of those little magazines near a grocery store checkout talking about "alligator boy sightings", I think it's time for a new sighting

That might not even be legal.  Reproducing any work, even that of a website, is subject to copyright law.  It's generally understood that "reproducing only for your private use" means to prohibit you from denying the source author compensation for disseminating work.  All articles, including critical and scientific articles, are subject to licensing fees.  In the stone age, your local library would buy a book and, if you wanted to quote and source it, you had to check the book out, actually read it, and return it - you couldn't quote verbatim the entirety of the book or photocopy its  pages and then dissmenate them.  The prohibition would be printed somewhere on either the back of the title page or at the very back.  Nowadays, websites have a similar disclaimer that can appear usually on the very bottom of the page under "Terms of Use"  and includes a section called "Copyright Ownership" which says much the same thing.  My advice to you is to have a seperate page where you re-list all your sources and say that permission to copy and submit was not permitted by the author.

Why is it the same people who are always horrifically sick any day that they know there is extra work to do are always also the same people who are in perfect health if there's vacations to be planned? Oh, you've been out sick every other ordering day for the past three months straight but you think you'll be super okay to fly off to who-the-hell-cares for a week. No one gets paid extra to carry your shit along with their shit.

Don't tempt me with a good time scoop

Lazy professors are the worst.

Is this video game walkthrough really just sending me around in circles, or am I just too tired to know what the hell I'm doing?

[Seight]

Just a heads up Gawr Gura has an announcement later, so if you're on...literally any website or social media that talks about vtubers sometimes, the next few days are probably going to be DEEPLY STUPID 

[The_annoying_one]

Just got a warning on Reddit for “inciting violence” because I mentioned ripping the arms off of a mannequin. Um……okey dokey, then.

I've never understood why dudes think that plumber's butt is fashionable. Pants falling down and walking around damned near bare ass like it's no big deal. It takes them near a minute to realize that they need to pull their pants up. Years ago on of my coworkers walking around the backroom bare ass because he couldn't keep his pants up and our boss had say something to him. Do you not feel a draft? Are you advertising or something? I'm not knocking your lifestyle but there's a time and place for everything bro. I always wear a pair of basketball shorts underneath to help prevent plumber's butt. Now let a woman have that problem watch see everyone talk shit about her but people will just dudes walking around showing their asses

Potato Bug's fascination with the toilet broke the lid. 

They replaced the seat with a heavier lid so now she's decided to show me her new hobby - fishing for toilet paper the second I stand up. 

I....I don't want her to touch me for at least several hours until I know her paw doesn't have a single trace of toilet water on it. >.<

Literally everything is trying to piss me off today and I’m letting it.

Since fucking when does ESPN cover WWE🤬

[[classic swim]]

Do bash Bukele, Salvadoran government and deportations none of us asked for. Just that if you’re gonna be a xenophobic cunt then I gotta tune you the fuck out forever.

My family’s worked their fucking asses off all their life just to live a stable and humble one. I’ve had it good because it mattered to a lot of them that I got out. Could’ve stayed where I was but they felt different, and I’ve lost sight of that plenty.

My cousin spent several nights on Skype telling me about the air quality, the outages, worried shitless about her parents getting home; I took my family’s fucking word for it that things have been better, and that’s where any previous praise came from. That was my bad.

Why I’d even dwell on being deported is beyond my health. I’m at the point you wouldn’t have to! YEARS of experience and I haven’t had a stable job since the February before last. Guess I don’t get DEI! Guess I haven’t been living up to the fucking stereotype besides helping with yards small time.

Oh and by the way cocksucking FOX News, we also like the Lakers and Dodgers.

My uncle in Guatemala loves American basketball. Shocking. My niece has worn a motherfucking Bulls hat, guess I gotta ask while she’s coloring if she’s shanked anyone before.

My country of origin gets to be relayed as the MAGA Chimichanga Death Camp Island, AND I get to see grifters pretend we never enjoyed sports like every other asshole on this rock. I’m getting tumors every fucking day from this shit.

[The_annoying_one]

Watching a live stream on Netflix where the audio and video clearly don’t sync up is distracting and almost not worth it. But I don’t really have anything better to do tonight, so…..

[UwPp]

Fuck you NY state. 

Thanks for the high hopes of my 3500 bonus that probably isn't happening. 

[The_annoying_one]

Me: (Complains that I haven’t been getting enough sleep lately)

My brain: “Hold my beer. I’m gonna make you forget what sleep even is.”

[katt_goddess]

Potato Bug took her collar off. And hid it. Like REALLY hid it. 

If the nekid little hairball thinks she's going to go out for a walk this weekend without her tags, she can suck it. 

[The_annoying_one]

Funny how, years later, you can still be paying for the mistakes made by someone who’s not even alive to defend themselves anymore.

I think I’m just going to try to forget I exist until at least Monday.

Not really sure why I stay with a bank where my account has been hacked at least twice.

Keep kicking my ass, life. All you’re doing is bringing out my dark side.

Do you remember growing up and people were always like "never give our your social security number, or lose your SS card"

and FF to not even mid life and like 3-4 big companies have gotten hacked and exposed over half the countries SS numbers?

[UwPp]

Why the fuck did I decide to work a Saturday for an extra $100? IM DUMB. THIS IS DUMB. ARGHHHH. 

[The_annoying_one]

If I had known this new phone was going to run scalding hot after about 10 minutes of activity, I never would've bought the fucking thing.

Go back to 80 degree weather oh my fucking goodness. I shouldn’t be seeing my breath outside again.

Stupid half full bottle of gorilla glue dried out fuck you

Is it the gel? Because that stuff is thick to start with and is known for looking like it's dried out because it tends to cling to the side of the bottle but it's fine if you hit the tip on a solid surface. If it's another gorilla glue, I've got nothing.

The kitten has the zoomies. She's also seeing gremlins and I think those gremlins keep encouraging her to run face first into everything while growling. 

Stop being crazy. It's sleepy time.

Just the regular super glue from them i think, I opened up the cap and the remains turned into a clear rubbery mass

Was debating buying a 2 pack of the small tubes instead, noticed walgreens sells a set of tiny single use tubes without any way to reseal included lol, they know this shit dries out

[The_annoying_one]

I’m not really sure what’s trying to get under my skin more right now:

The loud kids playing outside, my dogs barking at the noise those kids are making, my shoddy WiFi that’ll barely let me stream anything, or the fact that I kind of feel like crap.
