Thread "The 2009 Rant, Vent, and Share thread" in forum "Comic Talk and General Discussion *"

Posted at 11:12AM, Dec. 27, 2008

actually my real rant is all these idiot girls who put retarded glitter pictures all over their myspace profiles. Seeing some sparkling bit of visual vomit that reads "IM A BITCH AND PROUD OF IT" with some bimbo with an over sized head and pair of eyes that would make Mickey god damn Mouse scream in fear doesn't make anyone more attracted to you. In fact, BIG SHOCK, being a bitch is generally not considered a GOOD THING

oh hey lets make a fucking anagram why not

B - Beautiful
I - Intelligent
T - Talented
C - Caring
H - Hurf

if you have one of these, even just one, your little god damn "BRATZ" images poking fun at how much of a slut or asshole you are, i can fucking promise you have at most three friends, and they're probably vapid whores too

EDIT: No seriously, women wonder why most men just view them as a means to reproduce WELL THIS IS THE GOD DAMN REASON

No. The reason why I view women as means to reproduce is because women are means to reproduce.

Also, rant. I just started liking the band Muse when I learned that one of their songs was used in a certain shit movie about vampires. You know the one I'm talking about. Record companies, have you no shame??

I haven't updated in forever. The comic page has been basically done for weeks now, but I've just been adding little bits and pieces too it, not really wanting to finish. Maybe I should just do the damn update tomorrow?

You can always add more to it after you upload it(upload it again, etc), that's what i do. No one notices the changes or anything tho lol. ——–

I got these skullcandy headphones, they are unbelievably neat looking upclose but they hurt my ears when i put them on –_–

I really wanted the rasta ones but….oh well

rant, eh? well…

Playing a Mage in WoW is frustrating! I was invited to a few groups who asked me to conjure water for them, only to be booted out of the group once they got what they wanted. And people ask me why I don't like groups…

Car's front wheel bearing broke in two, and I had to pay for towing. On top of that $80 fee I have to pay over $300 in parts; a new hub and a new bearing. One of these days I'm going to throw the shattered ball bearings at the Fates…

eh.. and my brother got me some weird earphones that I have to actually stuff into my ear… O_O

My brother has a pair of those. There's a bottle opener hidden in them.

For some reason, I am compelled to inform you all that I'm writing this while on the toilet. Technology is amazing, is it not?

Posted at 3:12PM, Dec. 27, 2008

i have the ones that crush your skull.

i've broken 2 of them. hurray for lifetime warranties!

Those are the best kind, once you get used to the feeling, youll realize they sound even better than the expensive bose headphones.

Posted at 8:12PM, Dec. 27, 2008

not from my experiences. the sound from my Bose headphones is really full. a lot of the ones i've tried that ya gotta stuff in yer ear got this tin sound to em.

on an unrelated note, my computer just became infected with Virtumonde! 8D
anyone got any non expensive advice?

Posted at 9:12PM, Dec. 27, 2008

Virtumonde!

Fuck it, delete everything. Literally.

I had that little bastard get into the parent's office computer and the only way I could get rid of it was to completely wipe the whole thing and reload all my stuff. That's the only "cheap" way that I know of since everything else I tried it blocked me from getting at it to the point of blue screening the computer and then refusing to open even windows explorer when I tried to get at it manually.

I forgot my rant. So it obviously wasn't all that important.

DONE!

My headphones are a pair of old Pioneer ones my day got in the 70's. They're big, made off a lot of padded leather and chrome plated steel. Not much plastic on them. with a nice curly cord. Still fantastic sound.

But after a while your head feels like it's in a vice.

Vundo… sounds nasty.
If you have Mcfee, they suggest this.

Sigh. I now remember why I don't wear jewelry. I got a lovely necklace for Christmas, but, as all other necklaces before it, it doesn't fit my gargantuan neck. :-/ I have over a dozen lovely necklaces from Christmases past all with the same problem. Is my anatomy really so bizarre that 100% of all necklaces don't fit me?

Posted at 3:12PM, Dec. 28, 2008

had to go with System Restore. had a lotta junk on this comp anyways. gotta rescan the putrid pages, but that's worth it instead of having to pay to get my comp fixed or get a whole new one. lost a lotta good music though…..but im back.

Most store-bought jewelry comes with the shortest chain possible, because that's cheaper.

If they're pendants, you can just get a longer chain and swap the pendants out. If not, there may be a way you can tastefully extend them. You might check a crafts shop for jewelry making supplies, some of them will sell more generic chains or metallic wire-thread which can be attached with little trouble. All the better if you have longer hair, most people won't notice you've had to extend them.

New rant thread; :o
Wow! THIS is progress!

so i was calculating my spending for January, and I'll have $85 for food and entertainment. Hurray!

Posted at 11:12PM, Dec. 28, 2008

allright! so now that i've completely wiped my system clean, i have to upload my scanner again or whatever. it's not taking. i need a driver or some bullshit i didnt need before and i have comic pages to upload…i found one site that MIGHT have something [though i wouldnt bet on it.] and you have to do this free registry, and it's asking me these bullshit questions like what kind of work i do and how many people i work with [these arent optional either.]. shit that's irrelivant. so, i decided i dont trust it and am not gonna fuck with that site! this just sucks….i tried using my driver detector, you know that thing that automatically hooks up stuff like scanners and cams and stuff like that and it gave me the blue screen twice.

on a completely unrelated note, i had a hair stuck in my throat for about 3 days.

Pure genius!

You've probably got some elements of that virus/spyware still messing you up. Vundo is like that apparently.

i sun burnt my face yesterday. oh well…just super tan i guess

also, i spent 3 hours at work, so they could tell me i didnt have to work…i mean comeon, yes it's a trade off for 12 hours at work…but no. fine whatever. i quit…here's my two week notice….(that doesnt work by the way)

Posted at 4:12AM, Dec. 29, 2008

I poke you, you tell me to stop, then I hit you over the head with a sledgehammer and put you in the hospital. You call the cops and our lawyers haggle in court. A bunch of guys with rockets in the back yard of a mosque versus modern artillery and fighter-bombers unloading ordnance?

The media has played favorites in the Arab-israeli thing since the Israelis proved time and again that the Arabs are a bunch of incompetent twits. Then they decided to secure their borders because they were sick and tired of getting beaten up. The press these days likes the underdog. It's like the WWII "what-if" CNN was on the spot. Allies invade Europe, 40,000 plus casulties in Omaha beach debacle, Thousands of French civilians killed, injured and rendered homeless by indiscriminate Allied bombardments. Germans condemn surprise attack. Hitler swears his fighters will bring the battle to the enemy homeland.

So I looked at my comic and realized that I have nothing to update with Thursday. I have the time, will I use it or watch it vanish because the wife is home on vacation?

The reality is that the "fave" is the Israeli side. That's not bias, that's the reality. It's just funny that when people talk about civilian deaths on the "other" side that people say the press is being biased.

The actual facts are that there aren't two countries at war: there's one country, and that country contains within it a vast, contained population of people they don't want, fenced in with their water, food, electricity, fuel, money and all other supplies controlled very tightly. Sort of like a big prison camp.

That facts are that Israeli casualties are extremely low. Palestinian causalities are massive. it's something like 5 to 1. And quite a lot of those are civilians. But people probably don't realise that. They also probably don't realise that those "deadly rockets" almost never injure or kill anyone. Palestinian civilians of all ages are routinely humiliated at checkpoints every day, people have their houses forcibly searched and ransacked without warning, they can even be bulldozed for no reason (just to widen the road for tanks), houses can be forcibly occupied and the families thrown into the street if soldiers want to use it, they they ransack and loot it. Israeli tanks usually treat Palestinian cars and houses like speedbumps…

——————————-

But people probably don't realise that.

I hate it when Palestinians attack Israeli's with rockets too you know, but their's a hell of a lot of background behind that, and that is kept from your delicate, naive, shell-like ears by your "biased" press who people think don't like Israel so much… You have to get THAT info from the Red Cross and U.N. staff.
——————————-

Not to bash anyone over the head with it. It's just that these things aren't simple. They never are. And people lose sight of the fact that there's real people suffering just because they want to think about aesthetic rights and wrongs and juvenile black and white moralising based on almost no knowledge of what really goes on.

Ozone you're on target. My simile actually disproved my point about the fave thing.

But having had the opportunity to read the press coverage going back to 1967 (my mother kept the Time and Life magazines) the focus of the coverage has shifted toward the Palestinians. I've also viewed the Newsreel and TV coverage of 1947 and 1956 versus 1973 and the 1980s in Lebanon. Lebanon marks the shift in coverage.

Thanks for providing me another excuse not to work on my comic. ;)

HAW! got it working! found my installation cd and it's working like a dream!new page of putrid up and i have more shit to rescan, but it's cool, im just happy shit's working RIGHT!…….again, thank you everyone for yer help.

Posted at 10:12AM, Dec. 29, 2008

you know what else i hate? conspiracy theorists…granted…1/4 of their facts are right, doesnt mean all of them are. but i can see where they come from…

if point a is true, and was lied about, why cant b, c, and d be true? in the words of luke skywalker. "no that cant be true, that's impossible." wait, on second thought that was a bad quote. because it was true, and obviously not impossible.

but points b, c, and d are all non facts. i'm sticking by that. i'll just be crushed if they aren't.

Posted at 11:12AM, Dec. 29, 2008

Lebanon marks the shift in coverage.

It marked a slight equalisation but even that wasn't much considering the civilian casualties and infrastructure damage. And then it went back to the old mode:

"Palestinian Militants killed, Palestinian sources CLAIM there were two women and 3 children also killed. Meanwhile Palestinian terrorists continue to fire rockets at settlements. An IDF corporal was badly wounded, and now we'll interview some scared Israeli civilians about the rockets and how they live in constant fear."

Even the mention of claimed Palestinian killed civilians is seen as biased, meanwhile it doesn't matter that they also live inconstant fear, but also poverty, not able to get proper medical care and they have 500% more chance of being hurt or killed…

lol!

Truthfully, in all the Western press, elements of domestic Israeli news are probably most critical of what the country does. Especially regarding the most recent unsuccessful Lebanon invasion.

———-
But I'm not beating you over the head, it's a general rant. I'm embarrassed about it really. And I don't want to sound as if I support Palestinian aggression… I abhor it.
