Rants: Everyday Venting

[Grovygrunge]

I just read something so... ignorant, so up it's own ass, so blatantly hateful, that I actually want to scream in anger and possibly punch the person who made it.




Then again buzzfeed feature so why am I surprised by this? All they do is clickbait and stupid. That's their thing.

[★Amethyst★]

Oh, buzzfeed. I used to watch some of their food videos on youtube but stopped because I got bored of them/didn't really like their other stuff. Clickbait in general makes me feel like I get dumber just reading it to be honest.

Pokemon Showdown is ridiculous. At first, I thought it was good, I was certain that it was fair game until I actually started battling people. I'll admit that I don't know a whole lot about battling but I know enough to know that the Pokemon my rivals chose where overpowered and a lot of the attacks they had wouldn't have been obtainable in the actual game. Not to mention, it really bothers me that they just happen to be the ones who go first.

Not only that but the whole deal with being able to switch your Pokemon in and out is unbelievably frustrating. I'm not saying that I would've won if that weren't an option, but I would at least have a fighting chance.

I disagree a bit. The actions of good people can have just as big of an impact as bad ones. Why wouldn't they? Though it's all subjective I suppose. I personally find disliking a whole group of people in general because of a few bad seeds to be silly at best, a**holish at worst(not saying you are of course). Mistrusting and thinking negatively about people doesn't sound like a fun way to go through life, in my opinion.

I'll stop disliking humans when people start caring about creatures other than their own, stop driving people to suicide for fun, stop driving entire countries to the ground, stop demonizing people who care about non-humans and the earth, etc. (Or at least minimized) I mean, when was the last time we saved an endangered species from the brink of extinction? Animals go extinct all the time, but humans just keep growing in numbers.

"Oh, you can't cheat in Pokemon Showdown! It's impossible!" Anyone who says this is lying. I've had people kill Pokemon with attacks that shouldn't have killed mine, and I've also had people use psychic abilities to predict every single move. I refuse to believe you can't cheat in this game.

[Cecilia Peromi]

That's disappointing, I've been wanting to try Pokemon Showdown.

[Epilogue]

I'm astounded by anti-LGBT furries.
<REMOVED>
But I was born into a far right-wing conservative household, what would I know?

[Alessia Starfurr]

I dunno but  in russia that sort of thing is almost like illegal, actually it's illegal to talk to a teen about it. But then again there's all sorts of crazy things going on there, Being "Emo" is illegal I think.

There is definitely cheating going on in Pokemon Showdown. I've made multiple teams and there's only a simple, set list for each and every Pokemon (of course, you know this) and to have all this nonsense.. like it's just very disappointing. I decided to take a shot at it so that I could learn more from battling and all I'm learning is that the majority of the users are sore losers and that they don't care about learning, they only care about winning.

Like for example, I got one win out of all of the battles I've done today and it was very bittersweet. It was sweet because I was happy that I had finally won a battle but it was bitter because the person I beat was butthurt, even though it was their fault for using 4 Psychic type and two Ground type Pokemon. Like if that's the attitude of the majority of the users on that site, then there's no point in participating. Competitiveness is fine, but toxic energy and being a sore loser is not needed.

[The Past]

Never had any stereotypical views of Russians. However, I knew a number of Edgy McEdgelords who were obsessed with Russia because guns and vodka and communism/anarchy. Ech. That stereotype isn't only a view from those who dislike Russia.

I can't sleep.

[Alistair]

Seems no matter how hard I try to fix my sleep schedule it just isn't happening.

[Alessia Starfurr]

I'm annoyed at people (especially americans) who do not understand Russia and russian people and have no first-hand information about them whatsoever, yet still think they're some sort of crazy, narrow-minded, communist barbarians.

Honestly I can't really say What I think ,but perhaps you can tell me the truth then, I kinda missed it ,but I meant to say 'Rumor is'

I tend to get really frustrated with that game when I'm on a losing streak, or I lose to Scizor/Greninja/Serperior/Garchomp/Heatran. In a way, I don't blame people for being "butthurt" on the game, as they might have the same problems in that they get frustrated easily.

Same. I stay up all night, go to lectures in the morning, come home in the afternoon, sleep till dinner, eat, sleep again, wake up araond 2AM and start the whole thing all over again.

I'm going on holiday with my family. All of us (we're four siblings) are bringing our respective girl- or boyfriends (except for the youngest one, because he's only 14). And my brothers girlfriend is incredibly superficial and annoying. I really don't want her to ruin my holidays.

I'd just tune her out. Some nights its staying up until 6-8am, sleeping until 6-9pm then repeat. But I hear you about the superficial thing, a lot of my friends from high school are still the same way they used to be back then; fake as **censor**. Acting all nice and pretty but the second you pull the silver spoon out of their mouth they go ape.

[Nrein]

Self-Esteem at an all time low! Guess I'm gonna spend the rest of my mini-vacation quietly playing games and trying not to have a freak out.

[Cecilia Peromi]

You can also spend it with us Nrein. We'll do our best to cheer you up.

You have a lovely avi by the way.
