@TiredEwok You're a saint. I stopped waking my kid up in freshman year. You are a teenager, mazel tov, wake your own ass up. Here, alarm clock. This is how you program it, this is how you set an alarm, this is how you set a backup alarm. Be free, young bird, fly!
I had to stop using my phone as my alarm.
It was too easy to pick it up and set it back down. Snoozed. I got to where I could do it in my sleep. Oops.
Now my alarm is Alexa and she's a bitch who doesn't understand 'Alexa, snooze' in my half-asleep voice. So it becomes a shouting match of "ALEXA, SNOOZE" and by the time I'm shouting, I'm awake.
That ho.

@Auspice That's a feature!

- "IF THAT BEEPS ONE MORE TIME-" (I never get to the threat. Apparently the tone is enough that it doesn't beep again. This is good because I'm usually too addled to come up with one.)
And it did. So I took the shotgun off the wall and I fired two warning shots. Into his head.
He had it comin'.
Racism isn't Tinkerbell. It doesn't need you to believe in it for it to exist.

He only had himself to blame.

If I had seen it, if I had been there, I betcha I would have done the same
In more "my family fucking sucks:"
Seeing my sister post on Twitter about how she grew up with only brothers and had no other female influence growing up except her mother. And "this is why girls like me are so different than girls who grew up with sisters!" (look she just turned 20 okay)
Punch in the fucking gut. Esp when I liked to tell people how happy it made me to see how much stronger my sister was as a teenager (willing to speak up in defense of herself, speaking out against how toxic our father could be, etc) than I was...despite how our mother never did anything like that for us.
My sister doesn't know I know what her Twitter account is but goddamn if that doesn't make me wanna reveal it. I know she's doing it just for the attention but damn if it doesn't hurt.

When you give someone money, you put the loose change in their outstretched hand and then put the flat (not crumpled, folded in half, or presented as an origami bowtie) bills on top. You can even do it the other way around, with bills first and coins after.
Just please, please, please don't shove your sweaty, balled-up boob money into my hand and then let the coins cascade on top of my unwittingly closed fist (as to keep the titty dollars from blowing away).
It makes me really sad.
I'm out of spoons. Metaphorical spoons. I'm done. Finit. I do not give any shits. I'm gonna burn this store down and laugh and dance in the flames.

@Auspice Spoken as an older sister with a younger sister that flat-out had a better life than I did, but still complains more than anyone I know - little sisters are just shitty people. They mean well, but they're horrid.

That is pretty much where my sister is at.
She is the baby of the family and the family was better off (financially) her whole life. She's been on cruises (3?), out of the country (two vacations to Mexico, one to Scotland). I got to go to Disney World twice (once when I was 4, once when I was 12).
She likes to tell people she's 'never been to Europe' because the Scotland trip was before she was a teenager (she was 9).
There's just sort of a whole slew of shitty behavior from her. And I know part of the Twitter thing is just how people lie on social media, but it doesn't stop the fact that it stings. The last time I saw her (grandmother's funeral), I made sure to spend a lot of time with her, despite the fact that she spend most of it parroting the shitty things our father likes to say about/to me (he's a very far-right conspiracy theorist conservative and since I'm well... NOT, apparently a lot of bullshit in the family about me and my more moderate and even progressive ways gets said to the family that she was more than happy to mockingly parrot to me).

I am going to parrot what I said in another thread: watching girls growing up to become women is fucking painful as shit, and I ain't got no patience for it.
I'm glad I didn't have a sister. My partner's next-youngest is a crabby, needy bitch. My partner's youngest is pretty cool, but she's pretty much a dude with boobs.

As the youngest sib, I don't think I was that awful but man. Now I'm questioning everything. I was closer friends with the sibling seven years older than I was the one a year and a half older, so maybe we just had a really strange family dynamic and were equally awful together. That thought might help me sleep better at night, anyway. 
Youngest sibling here, am obviously a monster. It is known.

No. Spoons. Left.
@Cobaltasaurus I am afraid to even ask what that melted thing once was, let alone what it'd probably cost to fix whatever it presently is. <wince>
Oh fucking well.
