PG-13, but I digress. Just remember, Evna, a decent chunk of the online community tends to forget that social graces exist on some parts of the internet. Numerous Furries are included in that, most unfortunate, group. There's a mindset I have encountered far too often online when I ask about reading rules... "Well I mean, there's general rules online and stuff. I know those, so I should be fine." Okay, that golden rule is "don't be an asshole" and a few others are to not flash your "magic" on the domain, not assuming your opinion is law and not being an arrogant douchenozzle.
Honestly, yeah, it's easier if you
do read the rules, but it's like I said on DeadDraconis' rant thread...
I feel like too many people in the world focus on immediate pleasures instead of the entirety of their world[.]
It's evident who falls into that category and who does not... most of the time. Not all of them are bad, but well... most of them are the ones who end up just ragequitting because things weren't all candy and rainbows right off the bat.
Anyway, a vent aside from that which is more of my own.
My grandparents are far too fickle for their own good. It's so frustrating... They force me away because I'm not productive enough. Okay, but that was after they encouraged me to prepare to leave anyway despite holding a job at the time, which I was pretty much 'forced' to quit before plans failed. I had no determinate date of departure, and they got on me for not working during that time... though I'd be forced to leave that job anyway when the date of moving was established.
But now, my Grandmother in particular, always goes on and on about how things aren't the same with me gone and how she wishes I'd come back. My Grandfather is a totally different person, like he was being an ass to try and make me want to leave. I swear to God, for them being the people I depended on during my teen years and for a tad of my post-grad years, they are the least stable individuals when it comes to these kinds of things. "GO, NO WAIT COME BACK, ACTUALLY GO WE HAVE A PLAN THIS TIME, NO WAIT COME BACK AGAIN. WAIT, THE PLAN FAILED? DON'T COME BACK, TELL YOUR FATHER TO MAKE HIS BOSS GET YOU A JOB THEN. OKAY YOU'RE BACK, GET A JOB. GOT A JOB? COOL, QUIT AND GO BE A TRUCK DRIVER WITH YOUR DAD EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE ALMOST ABLE TO BE INDEPENDENT WITH THE JOB YOU HAVE. HERE'S THE SAME PLAN AS LAST TIME. SURELY IT WON'T BACKFIRE. WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT BACKFIRED? DON'T COME BACK TO US. WE MISS YOU, YOU SHOULD COME BY SOMETIME SOON."
Can I get off the Ferris Wheel or something
