Rants: Everyday Venting

[The Past]

Some people do not deserve to be parents. Nor do they deserve to breathe.

[Cheza]

I've had it with everything.


I leave all that I own to my cat Guppy.

Failed my permit test. Again.

[The Past]

My original wacom tablet stopped working, and about a couple years ago my mate gifted me a new one.

SEEMS IT'S ALREADY STARTING TO CRAP OUT. Just when I'm trying to get back into the drawing thing again! FFFFFffffff...!

Guess I'll be stuck with traditional drawing for a while. There's nothing wrong with that, of course; I've been meaning to do so anyway, but this is a useful, somewhat expensive piece of technology that's starting to have issues before I could do a whole lot with it. :I

TF2 just ripped me off and ate 7$. Steam properly authorized the transaction, but once it got to TF2 it didn't work correctly.

EDIT: YEY IT G0T BETTER

Misanthropy is something I don't think I can ever accept. To me, it feels as bad as homophobia and trans*phobia, because it runs on similar philosophies. Detesting an entire group of people (or in this case, all of them) just because something convinced you of a falsehood about them. Humanity has made their fair share of mistakes... but if it were dogs, cats, bugs, fish or whatever that had progressed instead of humans, they would have had to learn what to and what not to do just like humans are having to.

Saying that life like that of humanity deserves to go extinct is a horrible notion. Of course, I'll probably never change the minds of anyone who harbors this "hate/dislike" of humanity. Just like nobody will convince me that an entire anything deserves to die out just because they have to learn as they grow. Humanity is growing just like any one human might: one day, the race will reach a healthy mindset and we will fix/overcome the mistakes of our past as we grow and progress. But getting the sheer amount of people on at least a similar page will take time. It won't happen in this lifetime, or even the next, but instead of bouncing around saying "WE'RE DOOMING THE PLANET WE NEED TO DIE," get up and do something to fix it. And if you say "oh, I'm just one person though... It won't matter, we'll never fix it..."

Then you're just another one of the reasons it seems like nothing is being done to preserve it. (As much as there are plenty of people trying to help it. Guess having groups and movements several thousand strong is "nobody.")

(Not a rant more of a response so I apologise in advance. ^ It's great that there are people like you, there need to be more saying and thinking this kind of stuff. This is coming from me, a general cynic, I dislike society and have all but given up on humanity as a whole. Oh just thought of a way to make this on topic!)

I absolutely hate that people assume because I hate society and have no hope for humanity as a whole that I can't like people or have hope for the individual. I am very optimistic on the personal, individual level, just not on the group mentality level especially not in as large a scale as all of humanity.

Its been a long time since i had a dream that woke me up skaking and short of breath. God this suck no more sleeping tonight

[anoni]

Misread assignment spec, have to do it all again 2 days before it's due.

[Dax Declan]

Its not my fault I haven't been able to leave my house. You should try taking some responsibility for this relationship too. Stop pinning everything on me.

THANK Y0U. I'm tired of black-and-white philosophy that says "worship humans or hate them". I actually think humans are pretty cool, even if they're not my favourite species.

[Grovygrunge]

I hate black and white-ism when it comes to morals and stuff. Everyone is either good or bad, in reality nearly no one is either of those two things, the two hardly exist. Just labels created by the religious and the judgmental if you ask me. Sure you can argue with examples like dictators but in their minds they are doing all they can to strive for something better for their people and stuff like that.

Post Merge: March 30, 2015, 02:42:46 AMI hate how nervous I am. I get the confidence to do something then I do it and I'm just sitting here waiting to hear what someone thinks when I should be proud of myself for just finally doing the darn thing.

I'm sorry you feel that way, but just for the record I do not wish for my species to go extinct, just that I wish we would learn from some of our grave mistakes instead of trying to justify them and stop screaming "MISANTHROPIC" every time someone makes a statement that doesn't favor humans. And no, I don't hate ALL humans, but I still consider myself misanthropic. I think misanthropy is a lot deeper and usually more restrained than homophobia or other things. It's complicated and there's already pretty much a topic about this.


Anyway, yesterday I watched Disney's Dinosaurs, and it reminded me of the time I saw Walking With Dinosaurs the movie, and I can't help but compare the two.

I mean, Disney's Dinosaurs has an art style that's not terribly realistic, nor terribly cutesy. It appeals to children without turning off adults too much. The dialogue, feel and story is kid friendly and has it's cute moments, but is mature enough that it's watchable for older viewers.

Walking with Dinosaurs, on the other hand, has highly detailed and realistic graphics which may look pretty, but don't really appeal to kids. To make matters worse, it's combined with a gut-wrenching infantile plot, voice acting and dialogue that is nearly unwatchable for older views, resulting in an overall bad movie.

...Walking with Dinosaurs kind of makes me shudder just thinking about it.

Benny, I wasn't jabbing at you or your opinion with that. At all. And I don't need people feeling sorry that I have the feeling I have. I have friends with the mindset of "misanthropy," but I simply don't agree with it and talk about other things.

I never said you were. Just putting in my two cents.
