Rants: Everyday Venting

[Ori]

My wii died ;-;. (It's old after all.) But still, I JUST bought metroid Prime 2, AFTER ALL THESE YEARS I FOUND IT! And I was like FINALLY THE ENTIRE TRILOGY IN MY HANDS WAITING FOR COMPLETION BY ME. You don't understand how long I've been looking for Prime 2. I bought Metroid prime one like four years ago. And when I bought metroid prime two from Gamestop, it was broke. And then I got Metroid Prime three instead. And finally like a couple weeks back I found 2 and my console gave out on me. It's one of those things where there's someone up there saying, Get the Dolphin Emulator and quit your whining or, I'LL NEVER LET YOU PLAY METROID PRIME 2. (I bought a wii remote too just to play the game. (My original wii remote, I gave it away to some kids who never knew the existence of Super Smash. And I was like you poor souls. All gaming children must experience the super smash brawl/melee/ strife (Forgot the latest one's name.) At least once in their life. Especially if they have a brother to play with. And I gave my copy of Brawl too.)
I will never know what the hell happened to Samus between Prime 1 and Prime 3. .
(Cradles Wii.)

...
Okay maybe I'm overreacting. But still. I just bought a game too .

If I remember correctly, your cat was attacked earlier by dog(s). If so, it could be swelling or maybe some dislocated/broken bones

[Dax Declan]

That could be it Rocco. But Idk. They feel a lot like the tumors my dog had. And she doesn't mind if I touch them. I'm gonna talk to my mom about it

Post Merge: September 23, 2016, 01:11:07 AMLooks like im stuck in this shit hole for a lot longer than i thought. The friends i was gonna move in with in the next few months backed out. One of them wants to go live on a college campus and the friend other friends mom wont let him move out if it isnt with the first friend. So now ive gotta find my own place and pay even more rent.

[Trixsie Vixen]

I swear Dax, once you move out (eventually) you won't know yourself!  I bet you'll be able to let out a breath for the first time in... forever!


OT: I've been waiting over a week for a new PIN for my debit card.  I have about over $1500 on it and have expenses!  I was told it would be 3-4 days

****! I was just starting to feel happy again, then I read that Norway wants to wipe out 70% of their wolf population, and one person on the forum ACTUALLY ****ING DEFENDED IT! Everytime I TRY to look past the horrible parts of my species, people like THAT appear! ****ing humans!

On another note, the L button on my 3DS broke, and about a month after I had my bumpers repaired!

[Dax Declan]

I **censor** NEED to move out. I get disrespected all day everyday and I'm sick of it. Idfk how im gonna do it.

So someone used a counterfeit bill at my store today. I was the one who cashed them out, and since it was pretty busy I just kinda dropped it in the drawer to hurry and get change so I take the next customer. Later when closing it gets found... My manager on duty is pretty nice and she didn't get mad at me, just pointed out why it's fake and to tell someone next time if I'm not sure. I probably won't get written up or anything but it's incredibly embarrassing and I'm sure that person is laughing their butt off right now about it...

Ok, now you've got me really **censor** pissed too. Harming wolves is something I do NOT lightly

I **censor** NEED to move out. I get disrespected all day everyday and I'm sick of it. Idfk how im gonna do it.

I'm in the same boat as you, but I already have a plan in action, just going to take months. PM me if you want me to try to help you brainstorm.

It's possible that person didn't know it was counterfeit. If that person appears in the store again, ask about it, it might just have been an honest mistake. If they don't, then... you just got bamboozled I guess.

Yeah, that's another way of looking at it. I hear that's one of the ways to deal with a counterfeit, to mention "you might want to talk to your bank, it seems like they accidentally gave you a bad bill." Or something like that.

Wow, this is madness! There are only 67 wolves left, absolutely none should be culled.  And the justification of "protecting sheep" is without substance.


It's hard not to suspect the financial incentive from hunting licenses and pressure from hunting groups.


If this goes ahead, what a dreadful legacy of shame for a government to leave behind.

[Trixsie Vixen]

This wolf business really bugs me.  But not in the sense of I hate all humans or why does nobody seem to care.  Rather, I'm stunned again and again that people do seem to care and do speak out and yet Governments and authorities sell out to business  interests again and again at the expense of wildlife.


As for what can be done, the people to make your feelings known to are the members of the Predatory Animal Boards in regions 4 & 5.


The Norwegian WWF site recommends emailing the Boards and provides details of how to do so.


The critical details in English:

Send an e-mail to members of the predatory animal boards in region 4 and 5 . to let your voice be heard wolf: 1. Copy the text below and paste it into an e-mail. 2. See the text of the email and change the wording if you want. 3. Enter your name on the dotted line. 4. Insert [email protected] in the recipient field. 5. And press send To: [email protected] Subject: Vote for wolves in Norwegian nature Text: To the members of the predatory animal boards in Region 4 and 5, I write to you who are members of predators Tribunal in Region 4 and 5 to tell that I want wolves in Norwegian nature. I reacted strongly to board majority now has decided to shoot all the wolves - up to 24 individuals - in territory Letjenna, preaching and Slettå. This decision must you do about! In recent years there has been very little loss of sheep in wolf zone. The wolves in the established territory live mainly of elk and other game. The documentation from the Tribunal Secretariat also notes that today's loss is mainly due to the lack of existing fences. It is therefore not fewer lost sheep to the wolf as a result of these wolves are shot. On the contrary, there is a risk that there will be greater losses, as long as one does not take hold of it as it is pointed out the reason for the few losses that have actually taken place. Under license should be motivated by reducing damage, but the shooting down of these wolves will not reduce the damage to sheep, so the Secretariat also writes in the introduction to the dossier. I react especially strongly that it is proposed to shoot two of the genetically important individuals of wolves in Norway. Hannen in Slettåsreviret is the granddaughter of the Finnish Russian Galva-male, who immigrated to Sweden in winter 2007. The male wolf in Letjenna is the grandson of the deceased male in Kynnareviret, who came to Norway in 2007. If these individuals are killed, it will go beyond viability to the Scandinavian population of wolves. it is very worrying that the majority of predatory animal boards advocates that more than half of the wolves in Norway can be fired for the winter. It is not an environmental nation worthy to add up to a comprehensive hunting, which, furthermore, will not have any effects on the already very low damage potential of areas. Wolves belong in Norwegian nature, and I therefore ask you to do what you can to avoid the wolves in Letjenna, preaching and Slettå being shot for winter. Sincerely, Name: ............................... ............ Address: .................................... ....... ........................................... ...............

Good news in the country I'm living in though, it seems the wolf is returning. There have been confirmed rapports of a wolf being spotted recently. I think it's the second wolf spotted. Not too sure. Either way, no plans to kill the wolves, they would even be welcomed, as we have no natural enemies to deer here, so we kind of have a deer infestationn because they whiped out 'accidentaly' the wolves hundreds of years ago or so.

I do know that in highly radioactive areas where it's impossible to live for humans without experiencing nasty side-effects, wolves and other animals can roam freely. Experiments, tests and observations have been done, and the animal population is healthy and not suffering any negative side-effect from the radio activity. And no, they did not mutate to large zombie dogs or anything
Nature will find a way, we just need to give it time.

Hey at least all ya countries have wolves. Japanese wolves are quite literally extinct. 'Hunted to extinction' ;-;
