Rants: Everyday Venting

[Alessia Starfurr]

You can't sacrifice your health Nrien. If the doctor's say you need the surgery then you probably do. Don't put it off or it could get even worse.

Well if he can't afford it there's not really much he can do.

Get the surgery, then fake his own death? In "First name" just make sure to write "Deceased" and in "Last Name" put "McDeaderkins."

Our bastard of a g/overnment recently said they have a draft for a law that would block all the domain name that isn't registered by them.
Basically that will include TFF and many other furry sites that have zero intention and interest to deal with a huge c/ommunist b/ureaucracy, as the amount of furries in PRC is really low. Besides, FA doesn't even got a chance to register as it holds pornography.
The (kinda) fortunate thing is that we stihl don't know when or even whether this will pass.
I will give out my everything to trade for a c/itizenship of another country without this s**t if that really happens, or not, because I think I still had some secretive love for my nation (which is, (un)fortunately, quickly draining with their actions) or something.
Some words segmented for my life's sake. TBB is watching me, but fortunately not you.

My problems stem from each other.
I'm depressed because I do nothing.
I do nothing because I can't go out and do anything.
I can't go out because I have no money.
I have no money because I haven't got a job.
I haven't got a job because I was studying up until a couple of weeks ago (I dropped out).
Also, I am absolutely petrified of the idea that I will mess up something at whatever job and get fired.
This means that I don't want to go out and look, because I don't want to face potential rejection.
This whole post makes me hate myself.

Don't be sad Ibi, My best friend is in a similar situation, he dropped out and has no job, but he cares for his mum most of the time since his dad passed away. I was recently in a job I hated in a kitchen at my old upper school, it was really hectic and they gave me some really dull jobs, but it took being in a bad job for me to realise I would be better suited in care work, so I left on good terms with my boss and applied, sure I haven't started working their yet since they have to go through the security steps first, but as long as you try your best it doesn't matter what job you do coz you'll get a clearer idea of what you want to be later in life. I know how difficult it is to find a job after being in education, when I finished my collage course in Sport and Outdoor education I had never even considered having a job, so I had nothing to do and only one close friend, I got depressed, I had counselling and learnt strategies to cope with anxiety, I started voluntary work in a church and everyone was really kind there.   I hope this helps you in any way possible if you need to talk just PM me

Not sure if this counts as negative ranting, but I think I have a good understanding of why I draw and RP as fat hero characters so much. I feel they're like an extreme form of escapism. I draw and RP big, strong, impervious fat guys a lot because I think the stereotype is cool, but not realistic. I mean, they're sort of glorified sumo-wrestlers, but at the same time they're really not a representation of being fat in real life. But I don't draw them to escape from reality, but to escape from the media. It feels like fat characters are almost ALWAYS villains.
 
 I mean, I get why. "No one likes imagining themselves as a big fat guy," so people generally don't make fat heroes because it's such a small niche. ...And usually when they DO make fat goodguys, they're usually useless. I rarely see goodguy tubbies built like badguy tubbies: Big, strong, impenetrable. That might be why I tend to draw and RP them a lot cause I see them so little.

All I wanted was a sack of oranges... And I got dekopons. I hate dekopons . I don't know what possesed my parents to buy dekopons when I litterally said, "I want oranges, they should say PINK oranges on the bag or something. If they don't have PINK oranges  just buy regular oranges from Trader Joes. REGULAR oranges."
And I still got Dekopons. I guess I'm ticked off because if I made a mistake like that I get an hour's worth of a lecture and half the time they might not really specify it. But if my parents make such an obvious mistake that feels like a 'Screw you, we don't care' mistake. All I can do is eat one and say, "These aren't oranges... they taste bad." ;-;

Well I mean you could always buy your own oranges then you know they're gonna be the right thing

[Cecilia Peromi]

What's a dekopon? Pink oranges sound cool.

On Topic:

Tomorrow is school... blech...

Basically, my parents want me to watch over the laundry at the laundromat so I couldn't buy them myself, otherwise, me and my mom would go buy them.

Dekopons are, I guess, asian oranges, not sure what part though. They look like oranges except the green stem has a large lump on it and they have a different taste, similar to Oranges but different like tangerines. Also the clear part like the skin outside of the orange that keeps the pulp together is much stronger and they're a LOT juicier. There are lots of oranges, especially at Trader Joes, there are Dekopons, Blood Oranges, Pink oranges (they're not really pink but they're good)

[Cecilia Peromi]

You have a Trader Joe's? I love that place!

I think it's kinda sad to see so many people are leaving the forum without a word. I've also seen several times the forum would not b the same without them, but after they're gone without a word I don't see anyone saying that they're missing them until they come back... if they come back in the first place... Okay, now I have to admit I have a habit of staying away for weeks without notice sometimes, but never permanently. The amount of people leaving TFF also seems to have grown as well, and I wonder why.

Not only that, but there are several new people who register here, write their introduction topic and then simply disappear within two days. What is the point of creating an account and writing an introduction post if you're not going to use it anyways?

I'm thinking about leaving lol

I like big good guys, too. I'm working on a story with one as well, not for any escape but because it fits the backstory of the character and it's simply a barely-tapped trait as far as main protagonists go.
He's not super obese but pretty chubby. He gets fit enough to handle his job over time, but doesn't become a thin or muscular sexy hunk or anything like that.

People tend to think of chubby people as useless, lazy blobs. But there are plenty of workers who are far from lazy yet still have some weight on them, and they can be healthy and happy. It all depends on the person.

For the record, I'm not talking about landwhales. There's a point where it gets too excessive and it absolutely is harmful, but some chub isn't going to hurt most people right off the bat. As long as it's kept in check, it's not a big deal.

Hell, I've seen people cry "OMG SHE/HE GOT FAT" at some popular thin to average-sized people when they gain like a pinch of fat that's barely noticeable. It's friggen ridiculous.

My character Tigress Arcnon who is a 7 foot Anthro tiger may look fat due to her size ,but she's actually mostly muscle, it's just due to her height that makes her look fat. Also she's an aewsome mechanic and warrior

Anyone seen that meme of a guy staring into the mirror and smiling/pointing at himself with the caption "Why are you like this"

That's me right now. I had an 8 page paper(double spaced at least) to type up and it's been assigned for several weeks now. My teacher also extended it another whole week, but here I am the night before it's due just starting it. I can't believe how much of a procrastinator I am -_- Welp, it's not going to write itself so I've just got to stay up as long it will take me and get it done...
