Crocefisso Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 People who criticise Tip.It writers for stating opinion as fact. It's exactly what we're meant to do, regardless of their personal preferences. People who criticise an article despite not having finished it or read it properly. People who criticise odd-phrases, even if other parts of an article disprove their criticism. In general, I hate it when, having gone to the effort of writing an article, people respond lazily and stupidly. The above types of criticism come under this category. /rant "Imagine yourself surrounded by the most horrible cripples and maniacs it is possible to conceive, and you may understand a little of my feelings with these grotesque caricatures of humanity about me." - H.G.

Ginger_Warrior Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Opinions should always be portrayed as facts, and backed up with an argument instead of stats. If you don't believe in your own opinion, no one else will. They're talking nonsense if they think otherwise (but this is General Discussion we're talking about). | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomrombom Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 OH HE MAD OT: Bridezillas. I watch the show and it makes me laugh, but it also pisses me off. I can't believe guys let women walk all over them like that. Today a woman's veil broke, so she went to the store to get another one. She wanted to return it saying that she couldn't possibly have broken it, that the cashier must have done it. I would have stopped talking to her at all.

Racheya Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 What really annoys me at the moment is the awkward transition between my own home and my boyfriend's. I spent 3-4 days a week at his house, usually at the weekend, then come back home. Whenever I'm at his I feel a little like I should be at home, especially if it means I'm leaving my brother on his own for a bit, but when I return back home the same day I'm wanting to go back. It's awkward to go between having lovely meals with my bf, spending the day watching anime or star trek and having fun, and a house where the hot water wasn't even working, people shout for me to do things and talk in loud voices, the house is a mess and there's not very much food for me to eat (and when my dad cooked pasta tonight it wasn't very good =/).

The solution - if you truly believe that it's the right choice, move in with him. Be sure that your brother is being looked after, by a relative or a friend.

The thing is I *would* have been renting a room from him but the decision about where I'd be living in September came when we just started going out and I was very unsure. However in a month's time I am moving out into University accommodation which is like, 5 minutes away from him, so it's good. It's a shame I won't actually be living with him, but I am very excited to move out anyway :) Depending on how things go I may not come back home next summer, if I can successfully live without my parents without dying of starvation :P That is another thing that annoys me, the wait until I can move out.

jasignhagj Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Why do you need to uninstall IE anyways? Just download another browser and set that to default then you can put the IE shortcut into the Recycling Bin. It's as good as gone.Because it's my computer, and I want to use the software I like, not what Microsoft wants to force on me. On this topic, today I finally got sick of that that stupid windows update pop-up telling you windows needs to restart. I've already disabled the automatic restarts, but the pop-up itself still shows up every 4 hours. I'm pissed, so I go to close the process, and it keeps popping back up every 5 seconds. So I decide to try and delete the [Caution: Executable File] associated with the process (Probably a bad idea, I made a backup anyways), and I find out I don't have permission to. Apparently Microsoft decided the Admin of the system can't be trusted to delete files off their own computer, and assigned permission to all files in the System32 and other system folders to 'TrustedInstaller'. Basically, to delete the file, I had to kill the TrustedInstaller process, delete it from permissions before it popped back up, assign the permissions to me, and go through a bunch of warning messages. I am so mad right now, I am seriously considering switching to Linux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume Nothing Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 Me (my younger variant). I'm not joking either - it's only 2 years back that I was a completely different person, judging from my older posts. It's hard to imagine that people change so rapidly too. This also brings up another thing - the search restrictions on TIF. I want to see my first few posts, to reflect on how much I've changed, but I can't.

sees_all1 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I bought the wrong momentary switch. It's normally closed instead of open. Had I not double checked it I could be in a world of hurt right now (badly burned fingers). Since I checked it, I had to tear my project half apart, now I need to buy a replacement. 99 dungeoneering achieved, thanks to everyone that celebrated with me! ♪♪ Don't interrupt me as I struggle to complete this thoughtHave some respect for someone more forgetful than yourself ♪♪♪♪ And I'm not doneAnd I won't be till my head falls off ♪♪ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the parents of those kids. Yeah, this one mother was forcing her child to get her eyebrows waxed, even though she was crying and didn't want to. It reminds me of that scene from Bruno where they got parents willing to let their children dress up as a nazi pushing a jew into an oven just for a bit of money.

H2PM Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 2 hours? Hmm. I don't know. I think we need to consult our local stripper, Dizzle, who is very knowledgeable in this field.
