Things I hate about our society:

People being offended and who insist on projecting their own personal beliefs on to others

The word trigger

The word selfie

Selfie sticks

High fructose corn syrup

Triggered is a harsh word for what it is to me but it's just that I personally can't put red jello on my plate and eat it.

Just google "trueblood vampire deaths."

People do that if struck by enough force.

Wow. That was quite a night. But vamp, did you have something in your past with forced sex? I'm just wondering.

Oth, well.... I have a question. How long did you serve? Also, how much jello did yoU have when serving? Also please link me to the forum, if you still have it. I want to see the arguments and complains people have, sometimes u get mad, but sometimes I don't care, or I have a laugh. But, really vamp? Now we need to get it to 12345, and if I don't get there, this thread will go on forever.

Daww you guys are sweet

trollslayer 5 years, 2 tours overseas, it's not about me having jello, just that's what people look like when struck by a large explosive object, red jello.

The thread is on my recent comnents.

Ohthenoises just watched that..... what the actual fuck how are you still sane

August 20, 2015 11:32 a.m.

Ohthenoises says... #6

The real question is how is red jello the only thing that messes with my head.

August 20, 2015 11:35 a.m.

Um guys... I think Epoch closed the thread for a reason. He doesn't want it being discussed until further notice. Not to turn Just Chatting into That Thread Part 2.

VampireArmy says... #8

trollslayer yes. I was

Note # 2: just read a certain user's (unnamed) comment about how terrible i and other's are. You could ask literally any person i keep contact with and they'll tell you I'm one of the nicest people they know.

Note# 3: someone basically jacked my mardu deck on here, name and everything. Slight changes were made though

Who needs propellers when you have motherfuckin freedom?

Yeah, I think those birds are totally invested in that machine.

JA14732 says... #15

To discuss something completely different, in the other thread someone mentioned that only 1 person has ever been banned. Was it IM? If it wasn't, no need to tell me who it was.

August 20, 2015 12:02 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #16

Yep. That guy though let's not dive too deep into that shit. How's everyone's Thursday?

August 20, 2015 12:08 p.m.

Getting ready to work that six hour retail shift awwwww yeeah

August 20, 2015 12:12 p.m.

JA14732 says... #18

Took 'em long enough.

It's been fine, slept in, ate breakfast, tried to ask people to be kind and got yelled at. Sleeping in was very nice, though.

August 20, 2015 12:13 p.m.

Coinman1863 says... #19

I'm getting ready to get my Necropotence altered, awwwwww yeeah

Poor you ThisIsBullshit customers in stores can suck.

August 20, 2015 12:14 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #20

ThisIsBullshit i know that feel. I don't go a day without wanting to punch a supervisor

Also JA: great to hear. I was up till 4 am last night arguing while playinh Fable 3

August 20, 2015 12:15 p.m.

JA14732 says... #21

Wait...you actually play Fable 3?

August 20, 2015 12:20 p.m.

It's been alright so far, my supervisors are pretty cool.

The customers though, thems can be assholes

August 20, 2015 12:25 p.m.

Coinman1863 says... #23

I do, I was given it by my uncle a few years back. I just got to it. Tales of Vesperia took forever to 100%. I generally only do one RPG at a time

August 20, 2015 12:25 p.m.

Coinman1863 who are you getting to do the alter? I'm thinking about getting my Horde of Notions altered for my EDH deck.

August 20, 2015 12:26 p.m.

kyuuri117 says... #25

Yea i've gotta work from 2-10 tonight, and clean up takes another hour. Freaking sucks. And yea, while most customers are decent enough to polite, you don't get through a day without a few asshats who come in looking for a fight.

August 20, 2015 12:27 p.m.

Coinman1863 says... #26

canterlotguardian, I'm getting TheAnnihilator to do it, we are going to work out the details this week.

August 20, 2015 12:28 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #27

Well see i live in a rather huge city connected to several other huge cities which means we get a huge amount of customers per day. Despite this fact, we only get about 2 cashiers per shift. This means i get to be interupted sporadically throughout the night to help ring while also attempting to finish my other ten or so tasks. This wouldn't be so bad but the guy who works before me is literally the worst kind of person. He's the kind of guy that not only has a slight mental disability, but uses said disability to

A) pretty much slack off at work as much as possible. Anyone else would have been fired months ago

B) shut down any from of criticism with "you can't say that I'm disabled" when in fact he's a fully functioning adult. He's just lazy.

What does that mean for me? Whatever he decides to not do that day i have to take care of at night on top of everything else

August 20, 2015 12:31 p.m.

kyuuri117 says... #28

Yea that sounds fucking annoying. But seriously, your manager can't get in trouble for firing him. Partially disabled or not, if they can not or will not perform what they are expected to do, they can legally be fired without repercussions. It isn't discrimination.

And yea, sometimes working nights is fine for me cuz we get like, only 5-10 customers after 7pm and can just sit down for 10-15 minutes in-between. And sometimes it's a constant stream of people, which is horrible.

August 20, 2015 1:07 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #29

yeeeh but they refuse to do anything about it anyways. I'm looking to get into the pet care field anyways. Going to talk to someone tomorrow about where to begin

August 20, 2015 1:12 p.m.

I'm going to start working at 0600 tomorrow, doing panel installation work for ~$35-$40 an hour. This pleases me.

August 20, 2015 1:21 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #31

damn bro. Get that cash. Spend it on mtg. profit

August 20, 2015 1:23 p.m.

Khanye says... #32

my fav job ever was being a starbucks barrista in a semi affluent residential area during the mortgage boom in orange county california...all those stay at home moms with too much time and money to spend, and a craving for sugar induced beverages....

ah, the good life, if only they paid me slightly more, i would still be there

August 20, 2015 1:33 p.m.

Ugh they've started playing Taylor Swift in the store

Kill me

August 20, 2015 2:09 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #34

At least you get music. Ours doesn't play any at all

August 20, 2015 2:16 p.m.

My store has moved more towards music from the fifties and sixties. It's nice.

Also, I decided to fight a goat demon in a shoe box today. Killed it first try. Fuck you, Capra Demon, and your little dogs, too.

August 20, 2015 2:37 p.m.

Coinman1863 says... #36

On that note, I just had to remove a bat from the upstairs of my house. Stupid thing, took me three days to find. It was not a happy camper when I put it in the woods.

August 20, 2015 2:43 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #37

Whut

NoPantsParade says... #38

My grocery store plays stuff like Taylor Swift and Beyonce and whatnot, Tibs. It's awful. But it's always the same five songs over and over again.

Fun fact: anthropology 101 is pretty bad when it's hot as shit and humid.

ItchiUchiha117 is this your first run of DS?

August 20, 2015 2:50 p.m.

Khanye says... #40

August 20, 2015 2:51 p.m.

filledelanuit says... #41

Khanye we all do dumb stuff. I was putting Linux Mint on my laptop for school and fucked up the partition so I now have Linux Mint with 5 GB of space with half being used by the OS.

August 20, 2015 2:53 p.m.

Khanye says... #42

lol. im just learning this crap for fun. i do not intend to be in the trenches, i have minions for that, but ya its always fun.

the great part is, i have about 30 people running around in the office right now in headless chicken mode, while i am doing a 4 way EDH match on untap. Going to let them simmer for a bit, before bringing it back up.

sometimes, its a good life unintentionally...

August 20, 2015 2:56 p.m.

Khanye says... #43

on a side note, i need training on building websites, nothing too extravagant, just wanted to build a website for our clan on wordpress. anybody got time and know how to spend some time with me?

August 20, 2015 2:57 p.m.

lordoftheshadows It is, but I've been watching Alex Steacey of LoadingReadyRun do it a lot. I did not do the run for the Gravelord Sword like he does, though.

VampireArmy It's Dark Souls. Relatively early in the game you have to fight a boss known as the Capra Demon in an area approximately eight feet by twenty or so. It is eight feet tall, has two metal slabs for weapons, and there are also two zombie dogs attacking you. They begin attacking before you are out of the animation for walking into the room.

August 20, 2015 2:59 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #45

Fuck dark souls...anally....with a disease soaked knife

August 20, 2015 3:01 p.m.

Khanye says... #46

anybody playing warframe?

August 20, 2015 3:09 p.m.

Coinman1863 says... #47

VampireArmy, is it really that bad?

August 20, 2015 3:09 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #48

I played ten minutes of it.

Never

Again.

I'll play planetside2 though if anyone is up for it

August 20, 2015 3:14 p.m.

Ohthenoises says... #49

So yeah, idk how I'm sane ThisIsBullshit I just got a good mental strength and no one coddled me. It was "hey, get back to work tomorrow"

August 20, 2015 3:16 p.m.

It's not that bad if you are introduced by somebody in the community that wants you to be a part of it. I actually suggest looking up some of Alex's runs through it, because he does try to help people that are interested in playing the game. Perhaps the one he plays with Cameron Lauder, because that is one where he is literally helping someone brand new to the game to play it.

Also, because I'm curious, what part of the game made you hate it?
