stupid first world problems you're dealing with

My stomach actin' like a bitch

FWP: I think I have the flu or something and have to go in for an interview for a part-time job to supplement the full time work i'll be doing. Feel like ass, even though i sweated most of that shite out last night. Old brittle bones!

Hey delet, maybe Joyrex would allow you to have a regular forum account to post with, and save the Delet one for moderation. Then, anyone who didn't want to read your posts could ignore them, and you could still mod happily away. I find the ignore system to be fantastic for keeping away from arguments and bad feelings.

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.

 

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.

 

hence yek should not be so hard on his dad over telling him this, which is what this was all about in the first place chen.

there's an easier way to ignore me, for me not to be here. [-;

True, but this place seems genuinely important to you, so I'm trying to suggest something that would work for everyone.

Way to miss the point of the post, are you being thick on purpose?

You don't say " she flushed it down the toilet" to your son when discussing your ex-wife's miscarriage unless you are being completely insensitive.

unlike your post chengod, whose ammunition was based around the emotional turmoil experienced by the parent and obviously the young child when having to broach the matter (an i don't envy you that experience and you have my deepest sympathies over it). Yek is a full grown man and should harden the fuck up. Sure it might have been a bit of a shock to the system, and i'm sorry that he had that happen in his family but my point all along has been that he shouldn't blame his father for telling him something when he brought the issue up in the first place. How is this key position being missed by everybody?

What's worse is all the emotional sympathy jobbers blinded on here by their unsophisticated emotional reactions to hot button words without grasping the what of what i'm saying in the slightest, who are then, without a hint of self analysis, hypocritically attacking me.

It's all rather sad.

Just like wattm's initial reaction to gamer gate, and that t-shirt asteroid guy (don't lie to yourselves guys, many of you poo poo'd that engineer for his 'inappropriate shirt'), and being suspicious of me because it don't sit with the hive mind on that aggressive nutbag michael brown attacking a cop, trying to take his gun and getting shot for it.

It's been so clear that gamergate and this media storm over michael brown and those celebrity photo's 'hacked' off the icloud (given by the nsa to the net) have been part of a large propaganda exercise used to both divide and distract the public from the explosive rage directed towards the government and bankers that would be going on right about now (with the mass underemployment, poverty level wages etc)

believing that putin had something to do with that malaysian airliner and so on. Most people seem on autopilot for everything that sits outside of their narrow furrow of understanding, in an irrational state which simply reacts to pre-proscribed buzz words with chunks of preprogrammed emotional blurb, they never seem to deeply assess anything. You call me thick chengod, but the political credulity you've displayed these past months, has been deeply disappointing, and the fact that you couldn't understand the underlined above in my initial post and then at least give a friend benefit of the doubt before joining in on the witch hunt.

All of this stuff moves my heart and leaves me depressed most of the time, i love this place and despite my misgivings about people politically and on mirco-issues like this, i generally love this place and everyone in it and always have and want only the best for what i consider like a big extended family in some ways, or perhaps its more akin to a brotherhood like the initiated trade guilds of old. I do feel though that people see what i say on here and take it at face value without both reading more deeply into it and actually trying to understand what i mean and more importantly having at least some understanding of who i am given the years we've floated along together in this place, so reading my post from that position, not as a stranger all over again in some groundhog day nightmare.

heh, -さい-

lol truly a couple of pages for the first world problems thread.

How many times do i have to say it before it gets through your thick fucking skull?

It's fine for his father to talk about it.

What's not fine is the way he told him.

Here let's try again with examples.

Good:

"Yes son, your mother did have a miscarriage, it was a bad time and we should probably not remind her of it."

Bad:

"Yeah, she miscarried and flushed it down the toilet." (bit of a paraphrase, but yek did include the words "flushed it down the toilet"

No one is blaming his father for telling him, they're discussing the manner in which it was handled. So again, what part of that don't you understand?

"Some people are just more matter of fact and not pussies" (his words not mine).

He also said "Yek is a full grown man and should harden the fuck up".

So in summary...

delet thinks using tact/discretion/being sensitive to family members feelings makes you a pussy, being a grown man means you need to "harden the fuck up" and not have feelings about sensitive topics, and thus the manner in which it was handled is irrelevant.

I don't know what to say... That is some of the most ignorant stuff I've read around these parts. Not enough hugs as a child or something delet?

anyway I don't want any drama but really surprised what I'm reading, that's all.

fwp... I've been fighting pneumonia for the last week or so (since Christmas Eve, go figure... merry christmas.........). I coughed up about 14oz (not even an exaggeration...) of blood/dried blood/green mucus this morning when I woke up. It's disgusting to choke on something you're hocking up, and to have to almost chew through it to spit it in the sink.

I've been coughing so much and so hard that now I have a massive migraine. I took some t3s and they aren't helping at all.

I have to go to an Atos medical assessment in the next hour. I get the feeling it's a foregone conclusion already.

It's not even noon and I've finished all the work I had to do today, yet I don't know if I can leave just like that... This gon be a long day.

I agree with Delet.. Sorry Yek, but man the fuck up.

My very stupid first world problem is that people posting serious emotional stuff in this thread irritates me:

It's in very poor taste and disrespectful to make mention of a lost human life in a thread titled stupid first world problems. Or do you agree that it's rather stupid to see you father's lack of tact as a problem and one that only some mollycoddled first worlder would give a second thought to (even if so the previous point stands)?

This thread IHS becoming an fwp in itself. Nicen up, y'all

People need a place to vent

It's a first world problem because it doesn't involve your own day to day survival like feeding yourself or nursing a blown off limb from an IED.

well this is the first and last time I click on this thread, bye!!!

Oh beerwolf come back! It's usually much more lighthearted. :)

My FWP from last night is one of my external HDs died last night, containing some music i was in the mood for. I had to re-download it all from bleep. I think it took at least 30 minutes. Grrr

yet another mkv that won't play in MPC, no audio in VLC and my power dvd trial has ended. Are these files a conspiracy by power dvd to get us to cough up dinars for their bloody decoder.

spending too much time trying to find a workaround, too tired to eat dinner now

fwps

I DONT HAVE A NYE PARTY TO GO TO AND ALL MY FRIENDS LEFT WITHOTU ME TO ANOTHER TOWN

IM SCARED TO GO TO THE BARS BY MYSELF

THEYRE WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE, GREAT BARS

stay at home and chill out. Go to bed early, sleep through the silly new year. Then get up and start the year right.

well, the only flaw in your plan is that I've already had several strong brews to kill my anxiety

my bro ditched out on me

so I'm considering it.

If I had a question I genuinely would want answered it would be: what's the worst I can lose (by going out alone)?

Not to contribute more drama here, and I've been M.I.A. the past couple of months, but I just found out a couple of hours ago that my step brother had shot himself and is in the hospital in CA. Not sure if he's gonna make it.

Right on fucking New Year's. Sorry to be a downer everyone.

your phone, that fucking sucks i wouldn't recommend it, remember to back up your phone data before you head out. I always get into all sorts of kooky situations when i go out alone, gregarious monster that meets some odd characters.

I'm not really one to recommend things though given that i rarely go out, so my story count is low, but when this has happened, like i said. heh.
