"Who can relate? woo!"
No, Logic. Not woo. This is not a topic for woo. A woo is inappropriate in this context.

I accidentally plaigarized a whole ass motif and now I have to scrap my work and I'm pissed.
Luckily it was only in the beginning stages of even being created, but I worked really hard on the basic setup and was hype for months to work on it again and I'm mad >__<.

Why are people asking me on Facebook if I ship? Do I look like Amazon or EBay, bitches?
No, I don’t, I won’t, and if you are stupid enough to offer card numbers to a stranger you will get what you fucking deserve.

Fifteen bucks for a bag of gummies?! It had better be a big fucking bag.

It isn't. We bought some just for fun and it was a tiny little single-serving size bag.

Tragedy in the life of someone I dislike or who's wronged me.
There's a very strange layer of discomfort there because I don't normally have positive vibes for them, and I'm not terribly comfortable reaching out to offer well wishes, yet at the same time I would never in a million years want anyone to go through what they're going through right now.
It almost feels like a 'be careful what you wish for' scenario? Almost like I caused this for them even though rationally, I know that's silly. Like maybe I wished bad things for them on some level and now way more horrible, disproportionate punishment is actually happening to them. I don't believe in karma because I feel like there's no justice in the universe but this kind of experience is making me realise that even if there was, that wouldn't be the best thing either.

Opposing counsel came back with a super low ball offer - wouldn't even cover lost wages. I told my lawyer haha no. Now they've just pissed me off.

They have accepted my counter counter offer, as emotional damages so that they are not taxed like wages. Here is hoping we get this done asap

I was talking to someone about shyness. How it can manifest different in different people.
And I was reminded of a really frustrating experience I had recently...In that dreaded RL group's Discord, one girl was venting about how she wishes she could do more on her own but she tends to just go places, stand or sit around alone, then leave after a while. That no one ever approaches her and she can't approach anyone. I commiserated with her because I'm the same way when I don't know anyone and that it's hard being really shy and having a lot of anxiety.
Someone broke in and began going off at me about how I'm not shy. I'm always engaged at the group's events and chatting with people and and... I pointed out that I know everyone. That we all have gotten to know each other on Discord, which helps immensely. And she just kept insisting that I'm not shy and to stop lying.
It's just yet another reason why I've felt closed out of that group. I talk to one or two people in PMs and one of them told me last night that she's only still in it because she likes most of the people outside the central clique that's formed and the hobby itself. I realized it's pretty much the same for me.
But the core of this is: goddamnit, personalities and mental health issues manifest in different ways. Don't denigrate mine because it doesn't manifest in the way you approve of, you anal wart.

@Auspice I really identify with this. Probably people that know me online would be shocked to hear that I'm a painfully shy person who struggles to even place a food order on the phone, let alone make a friend. I'm borderline socially dysfunctional in almost any situation I haven't prepared myself extensively to face, and maybe even then.
Around people where I'm comfortable I'm cracking jokes and the life of the party.
I think I'd be hard-pressed to control myself from exploding if somebody saw how I act online or with my friends and tried to tell me I'm not shy. Motherfucker, eat a whole bag of raw dicks.

Right?
When I'm in a social situation where I don't know anyone*, I can't even find my voice. Hell, when I don't know the majority of people, I often can't. Like if I bump into someone in public on accident I probably come off as rude af because my 'Sorry' comes out silent.
Part of why this made me so mad is no one spoke up. Just a week before this, I had an anxiety attack right before a meetup and people in the group were aware. Like they saw me start to walk up, then walk away to take a few minutes to compose myself and they knew why. Like any one of them could've said something, but no.
*the MBD concert I went to is an exception. That band has such a great meaning to me that going to see them is like going to church. But, alternatively, the two book signings I've gone to in the past year, I sat alone, and I barely even said a word to the authors themselves... even though I really really wanted to.

100% empathize with what you're saying @Auspice.
If I KNOW everyone at a gathering I can be a total social butterfly. I'll pop around, talk, whatever. Throw even one "new" person into the mix and I withdraw instantly.
It drives my husband crazy.

So long as it's like, a 70/30 mix, I'm fine with new people! If I have enough advance warning/prep (we're talking days/weeks), I can handle new people. But I usually shut down for days after (don't leave house, don't talk, barely even interact online, etc.).
But yeah, don't tell me 'stop lying you aren't shy' when literally your only interactions with me have been in groups where 90% of the people present have been people we know. And the one time it wasn't, I sat silently the whole time and you were the opposite side of the room and didn't interact with me at all so you wouldn't even know.

Not to nag or rehash this shit, but —
— there is less than an inch of snow on the ground and a two-hour delay has been called.
The most important mediation of the year is happening today.
Fuck you, Thursday.

I would still do it. Sometimes you need to send someone a bag of dicks. Even if it's a tiny bag. Size doesn't matter because IT'S THE MESSAGE THAT COUNTS.

Still struggling to price my work but now it's a practical problem. How much silver is in each piece? No I can't weigh them now because there's a stone in it that's clearly not metal and per weight it's a lot higher in cost than the metal. What? Find the receipts for the materials I used? Uh. Gas and oxygen tanks I went through to make it? Man.
And then let's not forget that the price of the metal fluctuates all the god. Damn. Time. So do I need to write the cost of each item in relation to what the silver I used cost me at the time, or current market value today even if the amount I originally paid per ounce is different? Is it better if the metal cost more then and less now or vice versaAAAAGGHHHHH
