stupid first world problems you're dealing with

My internal hard drive in my laptop just died. FUCK!!!!

my steam client disappeared for no reason

i had a family reunion today and i felt very odd: not knowing what to say or how to act and i knew people were picking up on it..... so , like, an hour later and i just snapped out of it and started talking to everyone and being friendly. wtf

have one of those sitting down showers and meditate, that's always fun

shit got real

i met my dad today who is divorced from my mom. i see him once or twice a year. i asked him if my mom ever had a baby that died because a long time ago my sister told me i had a younger brother that died before i was born. it seems she just told me that to fuck with me but my dad said actually your mom did have a miscarriage, before my sister was born and she flushed it down the toliet. that was way too much info for me so i'm talking about it here. as close as i am to my mom, very close, i could never talk to her about it.

i'm not quite sure why my dad told me all that.

That's a really intense thing to deal with and no offence but it doesn't sound like your dad used much tact in the way he told you.

I also believe I had a younger brother that was miscarried but I don't dare ask my mum about it. Don't know what she would say really.

yeah, word. sometimes my dad can be quit blunt/ not really think about how others feel.

i like to think that little guy/girl is up there looking down on me.

Some people are just more matter of fact and not pussies, you did bring it up yek, and i figured he thought that you are a man now so can be more realistic about these things that happen and are a part of life. I wouldn't bring it up with your mother though, i doubt that she wants to relive that, and it would probably cause unnecessary tension between your parents, "why the hell did you tell him that etc".

Being sensitive to a family members feelings doesn't make you a pussy.

It works both ways stephen, if you know that a family member is blunt (open, not a pussy), don't open a conversational pardora's box by asking about miscarriages. I come from a family where my father is very logical about things, we are less emotional and don't fuck around some fuzzy unforeseeable boundaries and just tell it like it is. I think in the long run this state of mind causes way less pain than being conditioned as some precious object who then sadly uses this state of being as a blunt instrument to wack whomever isn't like this.

well look at you guys with family still alive

rub it in why dontcha

lol

Moon's hunting me.

lel, in another fwp:

How normal is it for a headphone jack in on a laptop to "disconnect" with just a few millimeters out? It snaps and works properly, but I wonder if it's normal 'cause normally when it's a bit out it should sound mono and then nothing... In mine with just a few mm it disconnects completely from my laptop (meaning no sound through them).

I'm using a Dell :)

then you won't have a problem with t'internets telling you that you act like an absolute cunt most of the time, that your opinions about life, music, society, women, politics, economy, and general discourse appear to be mostly reactionary and insular in the extreme, and that it is truly baffling that you are a mod in spite of showing an exceptional inability to moderate with fairness and goodwill.

just tellin' it like it is, mayne!

Working on a 30th of December. Will also work on a 31st of December.

me too, hate my job :(

I'm working tomorrow too :¬(

I don't hate it in itself but I just hate having to give myself (almost) everyday, 8 to 9h each, to a task that mightn't be the worst but yet doesn't enthrall me at all either. I must sound very adolescent saying that, but all of this feels so vain. Having a job, etc... Why do we need to do this again ?

Gah sorry, that's some first world blabbering right there.

I'm working today and tomorrow till 2pm. Fwp.

Jesus fuck delet, there is a difference between saying "yes unfortunately your mother did suffer a miscarriage and it was a very traumatic experience, so we should respect her and leave it at that" and "yeah the woman flushed it down the toilet".

Speaking as someone whose ex-partner suffered a miscarriage, the hardest thing in the world was telling my daughter that she wouldn't have a little brother after all.
