Women who don't sound insane are really fucking boring, and aren't fooling anyone.

Peeve No. 1:

E-mail: "So, based on responses, we have openings on August 3 and August 7 for depositions. Which one works best?"
Response: "I put that date on my calendar."

Me at desk: WHICH FUCKING DATE THERE ARE TWO OF THEM DIPSHIT?

Peeve No. 2:

Me: "Honey, have you seen my keys?"
Partner: from the other room "It's over there."

Me in head: WHERE THE FUCK IS 'THERE'?

Peeve No. 3:

Me: "So, where did you want to go for dinner tonight?"
Partner: "Oh, I don't know. You pick."

Me in head: THE FUCK IT IS WOMAN YOU VETO EVERY GODDAMN PLACE I LIKE EVERY FUCKING TIME.

@Cobaltasaurus said in nWoD2.0 Support Code?:

I want to be able to look a list of texts that have gone back and forth without say sticking on a wikipage for everyone to see, or logging them somewhere, but be able to access them in game.

I already defended this idea extensively in another thread. I am 100% in support of this.

I concur as well. It'd be nice to have an IC messenger system for every game, come to think of it. @mail works, and I use it often, but an IC system would also be nifty.

LOOK GUYS I HAVE A GHOUL.

This one gets a bit snooty. You need to keep her ass tanned.

@Cobaltasaurus said in nWoD2.0 Support Code?:

What are some things people would like to see for a WoD game support code wise? Here are some things I have pending:

Darling, see if you can't port over some of the neat tricks @faraday has set up on BSG:U, which includes:

• "repose": a command that allows you to call up the X number of recent poses, so that you can figure out what has happened without requesting reposes; very useful for sudden, unexpected disconnects.

• "scene": this is currently being developed, but really needs to be widely distributed; it allows you to log the IC poses and @emits and rolls into a buffer, and then upload it into your wiki on command.

These commands are just --engh-- ground-breaking and awesome.

@surreality said in Forum Factions:

What makes it funnier though is that I'm pretty sure you are younger than I am.

Shaddap.

@surreality said in Forum Factions:

This month officially makes 21 years. And I know some folks are older at this than me around here, which is scary.

Shaddap.

@Sunny said in RL things I love:

As of tomorrow, I will be 1 month without smoking or any sort of nicotine replacement. So no vape, gum, patch, anything. Just nothing. I am already noticing a significant difference in how I feel.

How do you feel? Last time I did this I felt terrible for about a week, and then just ... nothing.

I am le confuse over some of their rulez. Someone hold my hand and walk me through all of the things, step by step.

PM me, if you want.

@Ghost said in Good TV:

IF/WHEN GLOW comes back out I'll probably watch it, but if you're looking for pro wrestling roght now that treats the female wrestlers with equal respect, check out Lucha Underground on Netflix. It's fun and a lot of stories.

The WWE is slowly but surely figuring out that there are a lot of women who like to watch pro-wrestling, and even more that want to participate. It is also figuring out that a great deal of online purchases are made by women, and that, by bringing women into wrestling, you won't turn off women because it's competitive or men because ass'n'titties.

And, seriously, did you see what Charlotte did to Sasha Banks?

Edited to add: and, man, I just saw this clip of Alexa Bliss hit this move, which I've never seen before:

And then, there's Nia Jax destroying some poor girl.

Yeah, the women's division is the best one out there.

@Coin said in Good TV:

The fuck is A'Jin?

It's an Anime, new-style.

@Tinuviel said in RL Anger:

So you'd be open to a Liberace-inspired ghoul, then?

I guess so. Problem is, I might catch fire.

@Arkandel said in RL Anger:

Also we seem to be more about cats than dogs. What's with that?

If I wanted to be constantly accosted by whiny bitches I'd make another child or become staff somewhere again.

I like my pets like my ghouls: sultry, sexy, quiet, and very gay.

@Tinuviel said in Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff:

Can you just... write all of my dialogue for me, from now on?
Especially when dealing with those dictatorial pric... er... students.

Sure.

Student: Professor, I have a question.
Tinuviel: I'll bet you do.
Student: What?
Tinuviel: You're stupid. Go away.

@Catsmeow said in RL Anger:

I use to think that love/care meant self-sacrifice.

I did too. And then I had children. My mindset changed very fast.

Loving another isn't about cutting all of the flesh from your bones for them. Loving another is showing them why you won't do so, or ask them to do the same.

Saw Castlevania with the partner last night. Loved it.

Then, saw an episode of A'Jin. We split; she didn't like it, but I did. Anyone else have thoughts on A'Jin? Should we move to another series?

@saosmash said in Saosmash's Playlist:

Updated for ... trying out WoD/Vampire for the first time ever on Fear & Loathing, oh God what am I doing.

I'm there as Wes. I'll help you stay sane.

@surreality said in RL Anger:

Most folks wouldn't have the courage to say it, even if most of us would be thinking it.

Most decent folks would have the fucking backbone to tell the sad-eyed girl: sorry babe I have plans today; dick later?

@Arkandel said in Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff:

It's frustrating because it's so doable. And because I spent decades of my life not doing it.

That's exactly my point. Your friend knows this about you too, if he's your friend.

My partner is a six-time cancer survivor. She has scoliosis of the variety that makes it hard to find pants that fit right. She's a mother of twins at age 4. She's just finished up her first year of her P.A. program successfully, and has 5 weeks before she hits clinical rotations.

And she went to the fucking gym for the first time in over a year yesterday.

So, yeah, I have no patience for this friend of yours. My partner has every reason to just stop working out, but she does it because she knows the health benefits (and hangs around with early 20-something college grads, most of whom could model, and don't think I didn't notice this at their white-coat ceremony, goddammit).

Make the time. Take the time. Stop making excuses.

@surreality said in RL Anger:

It's one of those questions you can't say no to without being the bad guy, and those suck.

Like, I get shit being derailed for actual emergencies, but that doesn't strike me as an emergency.

This is absolutely, empirically, objectively not an emergency.

This is, without a doubt in my mind, a ploy for Him to get some action from Her.

See, this is how the conversation would have went with me, without a doubt.

Friend: Hey, a friend of mine is fighting with her boyfriend and she doesn't have a car. Can we give her a ride? It'll just be a quick detour.
Ganymede: I don't want no random bitch in my car, what's wrong with you?
Friend: She's not random! I've known her for a few months now.
Ganymede: She's random to me, dork. Are you trying to fuck her?
Friend: No.
Ganymede: Then, no.
Friend: That's really shitty of you.
Ganymede: No, that's really shitty of you. We planned this day a while back; I took a vacation day for it; and now you want to interrupt it to comfort this girl who's random to me when we planned this so we comfort each other by re-living our glory days. If I was sucking your dick on the regular, you wouldn't even think of doing this to me.
Friend: So, you're saying I should just blow off my friend because you say so?
Ganymede: No, I'm saying this because you're blowing me off.
Friend: I'm her only friend.
Ganymede: If she told you that, she's lying. Even if it isn't, you're still blowing me off.
Friend: This is an emergency.
Ganymede: No, it isn't, and you know it isn't, and if you want to blow me off to get some pussy, I can understand it but will remain super pissed at you for making me waste a vacation day.
Friend: You could hang with someone else.
Ganymede: And I may be doing that for the rest of our lives. Have fun being the wet shoulder for some emotionally-unstable train-wreck.
