Rants: Everyday Venting

[★Amethyst★]

Oh my God, that is terrible but hilarious that people still think stuff like that.


Living in a very liberal state I tend to avoid those things, sorry you had to stumble upon it.
Those people ust want attention and they're either trolls or plain idiots--neither of which you have to take seriously and both are dangerous to try and argue with. It's essentially pointless to even bother talking sense into them.

Hah, I've stumbled across some sites like that... It's pretty terrible sometimes but they're minority opinions anyway; I guess it's better that they congregate in their own little areas and keep to their echo-chambers. Means less people have to deal with them.

I live in the south, but growing up in a big, varied city and with pretty liberal parents I haven't come across too much bad stuff/people in person yet, thankfully.

I hear a lot of that sort of thing both sarcastically and not sarcastically. Though, I'm no liberal.

OT: I've experienced more wind than I wanted to this weekend and past week.

Same thing but with hail. We got some that were almost golf ball sized earlier this week...

I just went on the single most disgusting place on the internet. It was really great. An eye opening experience for me, truly eye opening.


I saw people hating on Jews like it was still the 1930s and the internet was Germany, people saying race mixing is bad, saying they'd shoot transgender people or promoting doing such things, overuse of the N word by people who clearly are whiter than Siesta Beach.


I'm surprised I didn't see someone saying that the KKK did nothing wrong ever.


I'm sure some of it was irony but it can't all be and a lot of it came of as genuine hate.


Makes me miss my days as a silly misanthrope.

So... Facebook.

Wow rants really get dragged out anymore

[The Past]

I want to talk with my grandma about something personal because, despite being a very devoted Catholic, she's perhaps the most open-minded out of my family, but I don't know exactly how she'd react to my specific trouble. She's perfectly fine with homosexual people, but my issue is a bit different than that and I don't know her stance on it.

Meby start by treading the waters? Gauge her stance on it, get a feel for what her reaction might be, maybe even inform her about it if she doesn't know much regarding it. Then if all's good, go for it. If not, well, at that point only you can make that call really.

OT: I hate being made at this one specific person. But I wish I could be a lot more mad than I am at them. But then I wish I didn't have any reason to be mad at that. And that makes me more mad x.x;

[BennyJackdaw]

I feel bad about changing Benny's species in the book to a giant rat, and my mom doesn't like Rat Benny, and yet... I've already grown more attached to him that Almiraj Benny. I have a soft spot for bunnies... but I adore rats more. That, and I can never get Almiraj Benny's expression right.

People would think by now I'd have gotten over Cloud, Corrin and Bayonetta being included in Smash Brothers 4. To be honest... no, I haven't. I am every bit as ****ed off as I was when they were announced.

Spoiler for Hidden:

1: First off, THEY'RE ALL THE SAME GUY! They're each edgy, overly serious human characters with excruciatingly weak and unlikable personality, TWO of which wield swords and one is incredibly masagonistic.
2: Were Roy and Ryu not grand enough that we needed THREE MORE OVERLY SERIOUS HUMAN CHARACTERS TO ADD TO THE UMPTEEN WE ALREADY HAD, PLUS THOSE TWO!? I mean, god, seven DLC characters, and FIVE OF THEM ARE THE SAME ****ING TYPE OF CHARACTER!? K. Rool. Wolf. Banjo. Ridley. Inklings. Rayman. Ashley. Geno. Bomberman. NPC Villagers. etc. There are so many characters they could have added from games that deserve more love that actually would have DIVERSIFIED the roster instead of watering it down with a type of character that PLAGUES video games these days.
3: Fire Emblem is one of Nintendo's most overrated franchises. The gameplay is just so watered down, and it's characters and stories are horrible. So what if Corrin can turn into a dragon? He/she himself/herself is still human. Bayonetta is one of those typical sexist games with a smoking-hot protagonist in a world where basically everything except those oh-so glorious humans are evil. You could argue that a lot of demon characters are helper characters, but that doesn't mean they're not evil. Final Fantasy 7 itself isn't all that overrated (I think it actually deserves a lot of the praise it gets) but Cloud himself is EXCRUCIATINGLY overrated. I mean, in all seriousness, it's pretty hard to make edgy, overly serious human characters that ARE likable, but none of these three even come close.
4: Would three anthros or three whimsical humans piss me off less? Yes they would. I would be more than happy to get three more anthro characters. Three whimsical human characters... wouldn't exactly make me happy, but I would NOT be anywhere near as angry. Anthro characters are almost never playable in games anymore, and even a VILLAIN anthro playable would be welcome. Heck, whimsy in general is barely existent on the Playstation and XBox consoles. So yeah, three characters belonging to an underrepresented archetype would anger me less than three belonging to a PAINFULLY OVER-REPRESENTED archetype.
5: Nintendo is one of the last holdouts for color and likable characters, which makes their inclusion that more painful. They could have helped diversify the roster. They could have added three different types of characters. They could have done SO MUCH MORE THAN ADD THE THREE ****ING CHARACTERS THAT PEOPLE PLAY NINTENDO CONSOLES TO GET THE **** AWAY FROM!!! But instead, they pander to the lowest common denominator. Same thing happened with Pokken, instead of having a nice, diverse roster with decent bulky Pokemon to round out the stick figures, the roster is made ENTIRELY of fast Pokemon, almost all of which are stick-figure Pokemon. If this was any other company, I'd probably have gotten over it by not, but this is Nintendo: the LAST HOLDOUT for whimsical games that don't insult your intelligence by making everything dark, gritty and emotionless. **** YOU NINTENDO!

...And that is why I can't get over their inclusion. Believe me, I tried yesterday and the day before. I could not get over the fact they were included, and will likely resume never playing the game again. The only thing I have to look forward to in that game anymore is the Sheik nerf.

Keep in mind they included those characters based on a survey that was made, I think something like 60,000 people responded. Those responses indicated that those characters were the characters people wanted most, so really they were just giving what the public wants. Blame the public in this case if you feel you need to xD


OT: I am trying to study for this exam but there's no good resources available to study!

That only holds true for Bayonetta, and that's if Nintendo wasn't LYING about the survey just so they didn't have to add another anthro character to appeal to those "Oh so disgusting furries." Cloud and Unreleased Character had nothing to do with the survey. Those two characters didn't need to be in a game that was actually fairly diverse before they showed up. Those spots could have gone to keeping the roster diverse instead of ruining it.

I'm pretty sure Nintendo doesn't have a bias against furries, let alone, there are plenty of popular "anthro" characters that could have been in, but weren't, and you just have to deal with it. Not everything like that is anti-furry

And yet, we only got TWO new non-human characters in this game, one of which no one asked for, and another which people DID ask for, but not riding that stupid little clown car. So many anthro characters were asked for: NONE OF THEM were added. I'll believe "no furry bias" once I stop seeing anthro villains in games, and start seeing more anthro heroes.

Yeah, I suppose so, though I've decided not to talk about it with her. I've pretty much settled that I'm over thinking everything. I have more pressing issues to be concerned with to get my life back on track. I've been making things too hard on myself and been even more of a moron. It's time to make a proper change for the better.

i wish kindness was manditory in schools

[Farewell]

My mom knows school has been terrible. Having anxiety and depression things haven't been going well (luckily getting therapy soon), along with family issues so I couldn't concentrate on school. She's going to talk to my dad about homeschool or charter school so I can catch up on credits... However for some reason he is against that shit. He feels that you go to a regular school with perfect grades and after go to a college. I'm really stressed out.
And again anxiety and depression is just getting worse and worse. I'm losing my self esteem, I feel like giving up.. But I know I won't. I just really need to keep my head high and tell myself it's going to get better.

The constant and consistent back pain from day to day. It's irritating and I'm mostly just learning to ignore it since it doesn't seem it'll get any better.

[Ibi Tanvaal]

I've discovered joints that don't cope so well when I do certain things.
My upper back has screwed up from when I'm on TFF and I'm in bed, my ankles and knees get wrecked at indoor soccer (which usually lasts about 40min, tonight will be 80).
My legs also have multiple calcified bruises, because I'm an idiot and didn't wear shin guards.
