Rants: Everyday Venting

[Ori]

Had a few people (not from TFF) hammer me today about not getting their drawing request done. I'm doing this for free. I explained I'm getting ready for both Renn Faire and Rocky Mountain Fur Con, but that doesn't seem to go through their heads.
MY ART IS FREE BECAUSE I'M NOT 100% SURE I CAN GET TO IT IN A TIMELY MANNER DUE TO JOB HUNTING, HOUSE HUNTING, AND THREE PART TIME JOBS
I pushed out 9 the last two days, and the people in question all had their request put in between 5-2 days ago. Even PAID artists don't usually get done in that time frame.

9 requests within the last two days? My god, good job!

Haha, thanks I'm not doing amazing watercolor though.

Tech support makes me anxious, even when it's just through email. That's what I get for not keeping record of passwords.

Okay okay, usually I don't mind when the forum crashes. But it's gotten to the point where I have to ask: What's going on? Are the servers that bad? I really wish I could donate, but I can't...

If the servers are crashing, no amount of donating will fix it.

Considering this has happened to other furry sites, I'm willing to bet it was a DDOS attack. Some people seem to get their jollies making other people suffer.

Most of the time when you get a 504 error or something, when you can't connect to the server, it's not the server crashing, rather it's the server temporarily refusing your connection. TFF has very little actual "downtime" but a lot of time where people can't connect to the website despite it being technically up, and it is due to consistent DDoS attacks on the site that can sometimes confuse the server, I believe.

Jesus, I'm done. I try so hard to make people happy but I get shit just thrown at my face like I'm an animal at a zoo attraction! Why don't I get the same happiness that I give people? I want to be happy, but I just can't. None of my friends care for me, I only know two that do. And sometimes I just wonder if they really do like me.

LEAD YOUR OWN HAPPINESS. Dont let the happiness of others guide how happy you are.
Otherwise you have no backbone, you know? I know what that's like. So I really broke free from my family and stuff, in a sense.


Making music is so easy but **censor** HARD to know what you're accually doing.
Theory Verus Feel, you know?

Why do they have to make it so damn hard to know if you've graduated from collage, GUH!!!

[Rob_Silvermyst]

Why is it so difficult to get a job in the field you went to college for in the first damn place? I shouldn't be trapped in a catch 22.

[Nutmeg]

I don't understand why people lie to my face about their opinion of me. What's the point in telling me I'm awesome if you send my friend a paragraph ranting about how much you dislike me? Honestly, I'd prefer if you told me the truth about things instead of lying badly so I find out how it really is, even if the truth hurts. I'd rather cry over something dumb once than feel uneasy every time I'm told something.

This is a rant that could have ended in a horrible accident today.

Today I was a tramguard/ticketcontrol and I had to guard a tramcarriage that has no walls.
I told everyone pretty clear that it was strongly forbidden to put your hands/arms/legs outside of the vehicle because the catanary or signals
could be close and thus hit your bodypart causing a lot of pain and possibly break it.

The tram was rolling for 10 minutes when suddenly someone put their head outside, I saw a signal closing by and I pulled the guy back into
the carriage, he was pissed at me and decided to pull the emergency brake. The Chief-tramguard came to me and the guy starting ranting/
complaining to the chief and ofcourse the chief starting ranting against me and the passenger filed a formal complaint. Chances
are I will now receive a warning penalty which means I could lose my license for being a tramguard.

If I did nothing this guy his head would have been bashed in by a signal closing by at 50 KM/H and he decided because I helped him
/prevented a horrible accident by ruining my hobby for me?

Time to buy a helmet/head camera, I suppose you should argue to your chief that "You were told not to save people from losing appendages by what he said.

Then there's roleplays. People are OP or just ridiculous. I then ignore them or leave the RP completely since I don't want to deal with their shit.

Excuse me for the quote there but I wanted to make sure it's pretty clear to what I respond.
The reason people like being OP or ridiculous is because they don't want to lose and want to look great. Almost no one wants to be the loser or the
guy who gets shot or something else. They all want to be an hero.

A lot of them want to be an hero but the truth is: there are no heros so no need to try to be like one
