this morning I was driving home, driving on a road where the posted speed limit is 45, and I was COASTING AT 30 BEHIND SOME JACKASS. then, a funeral procession is coming from the opposite direction, and the guy in front of me pulls over....? get your light-wielding vehicles STRAIGHT, god I was so pissed, I zoomed past him and felt much better, but what boggled my mind is that he still stayed off to the side of the road while everyone else passed him going his direction..... -_-

aren't you supposed to stop for a funeral procession?

Whether or not you should stop is based on if you want to or not. Southerners developed the idea of stopping for a funeral procession to show respect, but it's never required to do so. Although you are supposed to yield to a procession at intersections and whatnot
 
I do have to say, I'm getting ticked off at the people on Facebook where they spell out everything except for "r" "u" "c" and "2." You fucking spelled out everything else in your post. I'll take abbreviations when you abbreviate your entire sentence. But you don't. It makes you look like a fucking idiot when you do something like that.

Text speak also irritates me sometimes, but I contribute that to the fact that I strive to maintain good grammar when texting. So much so that I've even used semicolons correctly in texts.
 
text speak doesn't necessarily bother me much, until my applicants use it in PROFESSIONAL EMAILS and other official documents. You're not applying to McDonald's, you're applying to a corporate company for a professional position. What's worse, you're applying to TEACH KIDS.
 
For some reason, someone who uses text-speak does not bother me as much as someone who uses the letter "q" in the place of the letter "g."
The cause of my absolute fury:

Yhu fuckinqq spelled outtt everythinq else n your posttttt....lls. I'll take abbreviationsss when yhu abbreviate your entire sentenceee.....lls. But yhu don't. It makes yhu lookk likkke a fuckinqq idiot when yhu do somethinq like that...lls.

I understand that "lls" means "laughing like shit" (or "lauqhinq loik shyttt"), but for some reason the ratio of times that I've seen it used to times that I've seen it used in the appropriate context is awful.
 
I liked the one that pointed out that the genies were grumpy. I now like the genies.

Edit: Ala, like 15% of smogon should just sig that
 
Hey guys this thread is for venting, not raising your postcount.

Raising my postcount would be: Being single sucks (which is true)

Venting would be: Just about a month after an 18 month relationship, I feel really lost. One reason why guys feel like they need to be in relationships once they have been in a comfortable relationship is that guys don't vent to guys emotionally, so they emotionally vent to girlfriends. Now that I have no girlfriend, I can't let out my emotions. Aside from that, I have way too much unoccupied free time now. I am doing much more exercise now but it still doesn't fill all of the time I previously used to hang out with her, and it seems that I never will fill all of it up until I find a new girlfriend.

I also want a girlfriend for some more intimate, but not sexual, reasons. They can be a good influence on me and that would really help right about now. (This was also all true)

I'd imagine it's rather difficult to be a paleontologist then. *shot*

Horrible week in general, missed a meeting for an award this week because I had to finish some schoolwork and won't get the opportunity again. It sucked.
 
You know what else I hate?

Modern video game graphics.

Everything was cool back in the 90s. (The gaming era I grew up with.) You had a static background (ala Original Rayman) or one that moved with you as you played with no unnessecary things flashing or moving (Most platformers).

Now however the game developers have decided that the people want to see everything that is going on. Yeah cool but do I need to see the backdrop (Which I shouldn't be paying attention to) moving in time with the in-game music? Do I really need to the complete fluid movement of my clothes in a menu based game? It ruins gaming for me. Hell I couldn't play FE: Shadow Dragon because the graphics pissed the hell out of me. I would have prefered the no nonsense graphics of the adv generation of those games. There are plenty more cases but that is the most recent one.

I can accept grahics when they are of brilliant enough quality to include all that. I'm talking here about things that are aiming to appear as lifelike as possible. However aiming for that can be a real let down when things go awry and you get things aren't cartoony enough to fall in that category and aren't lifelike enough to take seriously.

This also extends to games trying to do to much. Bring back early PS1. Directions, a couple of actions and some modifiers for occasional use. Not this stupid two nub aim with multiple button hitting for power and accuracy where you have to use two fingers and both thumbs all at the same time on the first level in easy mode. Not all of us have multi jointed fingers that we can independantly control all at the same time.

Not only do games these days have annoyingly complicated controls but the also have to go and add things that the game doesn't need. Take ES4. Do I really need four viable physical attacking options alongside another four magical ones all of which can potentially be used by all characters at all times? Or G1J4. Do I really need to control my grip on the reigns of my horse independant of actually trying to do anything that isn't do nothing? (Albeit that was a horrible all round game but still)

I want to go back to having things either simple with variation or complex and straightforward not bloody overly complex with five different options all of which do the same thing in the long run and serve no purpose other than oooooo look how I moved a little differently when I killed that guy.

Maybe you should just learn to take a hint and realize that even the on topic posts in this thread really just boil down to poor quality posts raising your postcount and let things go off on whatever tangent they feel like because its probably going to turn out better than whatever stupid ass venting comes out of anyones mouths.

Also, arent you a Christian? Why dont you talk to God about your emotional problems? Or have you realized that he isnt real and cant help you with anything?

i am christian but luckily i don't really think that's offensive. you should sort of watch it a bit cause some people might take that the wrong way.
 
I keep trying to get better at video games, but it's difficult; I can't seem to find a combination of techniques that allow me to win and lose and have fun at the same time. I dunno why...I'm just mad I can't get any better >:(

don't mind TIK, he's just bitter that god has ignored him on every single request

maybe he's really bitter because he's never been rebounding before, never having had a girlfriend? Or in a weird double whammy, maybe he's in love with the idea of God but realizes He isn't into a physical relationship?

Hey guys lets troll religion at each and every point we can because it's fun and cool

And hey TIK there are over 6.8 billion people in the world. I'm 1 person. That makes me <.00000000014499% of the population. I have a large amount of money, I'm healthy, and have a good family. If there is a God, (which I obviously believe,) than He clearly has more to deal with then my temporary emotional struggle.

Sorry to steal the line, but have a nice day.

Edit: Fixed statistic
