Rants: Everyday Venting

[Cecilia Peromi]

To be fair, I couldn't see something like that happening on the forums anyway.

(also, you mentioned earlier that the text editing buttons get stuck, that's happened to me too. I thought it was just my phone.)

A friend paid an Artist named [Removed] to do a thing for him. This payment was done up front due to it supposedly being for support during Hurricane Irma. The artist has neglected to even update my friend on the status of the commissions and has been doing artwork from numerous other places all the while. He even sent a note to the artist and, after almost a week, the artist hasn't even bothered to open the note.

I'm calling scummy behavior on that one.

[Cecilia Peromi]

I get that an artist's life is hard, but at the end of the day you're paying for a product. It sure does stink when you get swindled, that money is just gone now.

I know double posting is frowned upon, but I got stuff to say.


My sociology class always makes nervous about the future. We talk about business, and the one percent, social classes, politics, etcetera. Our discussions usually involve the opinionated people talk about how bad America is, how our system is wrong and people are angry. It just makes me sad, I like to think that everything is pretty alright. But during class I realize that I really have no idea where we’re all headed. I’m not gonna say that we’re doomed, but everyone seems to think so...


Also I don’t like my job. It’s not that it’s hard, or the hours stink, or the people are mean. It’s just extremely boring, and I don’t make enough money to have to put up with it. I don’t even have any financial needs. But then again... when I complain... I feel like I’m part of the social problems above. I just feel bad about myself.

as far as I can  related to the USA i think we're doing pretty well there are a couple things that could be fixed and then there's one other thing.....

[Rob_Silvermyst]

Indeed. The US is getting back on its feet, and the corrupt establishment is starting to eat itself. Certainly not perfect, but it's a step in the right direction. Sadly, more and more classrooms are getting filled with more of the identity politics crap that teaches kids to ignore everything that makes a person who they are and focus more on skin color and gender, along with partisan politics. Schools are supposed to be places to learn the basics and teach children critical thinking skills, not dictate what politics they want children to be indoctrinated into. And the colleges are even worse. It feels like if I ever have kids of my own, I'd want to home school them or find a good private school.

yeah that's one problem among  a few.

[Cecilia Peromi]

Eh, I feel that it’s somewhat related to the class. All we really talk about is people. Lazy people, silly people, radical people, and the like. It’s actually pretty interesting, if it weren’t so pessimistic.

[Alessia Starfurr]

Don't get me started Cecilia.

[Dazed]

Dont know if i should be sad for myself.
Probably shouldnt post this here.
probably shouldnt say i shouldnt post this here

It's my birthday, I'm 17 now... it feels kinda weird. I imagine this is normal but I'm panicking about my future right now, I still don't know what I want to take in college. I love history but a degree in that field gives me very limited career options; teacher being the main choice. I love writing but that mainly gives me the same options.


Cinematography is a recent love, but despite my obsession for it in the past couple years I don't know if I will care much for it in five to ten years from now. 


I once wanted to be a psychologist but I don't think I have or will ever have the needed skills for that field.

[Alessia Starfurr]

Have you ever thought of not going to college and instead educating yourself?


Dazed, I don't see why you shouldn't post that.

[Cheza]

Promised to come to a party but forgot to ask is someone I'd rather avoid will be there too.
This could get awkward.

[Bricket]

@Bt

As a wise main once said: "Painis weakness leaving the body..." ;P

@Cz

If I were you, I'd still go, as it's an oppertunity to grow a lady's pair, or maintain those that you already have. Shure, (s)he'll be there, but you're strong enough to not care about that! Right?

Unless the reason why you'd rather avoid him is something more serious, such as assault, or stalking, I think that there's really no reason why you can't go to the party, and still avoid him at the same time.

(But that's just my say and encouragement)
