The right answer is always the Sabbat.

Not going to lie. Also, the answer is always you as a Tzimisce.

@Arkandel said in Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff:

<sigh>

Let me continue the dialogue. I'm good at this.

Arkandel: We're not married, right?
Friend: No, I'm single, remember?
Arkandel: Right, right. Have you ever wondered why?
Friend: I haven't found the right person.
Arkandel: Look, there is no "right person" for you because no reasonable person is going to sit around and listen to you shit on yourself and your life, and then tolerate you continually ignoring or turning down assistance and advice to potential turn yourself and your life around. The reason you feel ridiculous is because you are being ridiculous right now. You are the cause of and solution to all of your fucking problems at the moment, and until you recognize that you need to fucking change you will always be the cause of your fucking problems, and inevitable become the perceived problem of all of your struggling, unhealthy, but dedicated friendships. Now, get off your ass, go buy a bed, and go see a doctor, and count yourself lucky you're not in the United States right now.
Friend: What's wrong with the United States?
Arkandel: Bitch, what's wrong with you?

FIN.

@Derp said in RL Anger:

Me: Fine. Whatever.

Let me help you here.

Me: Why did you tell her that? I took a vacation day off to hang with you. I don't recall you being this inconsiderate in the past, but I'm going to hold you to your commitment. I'm going to come by in about 15 minutes. I don't care if she's there, or if she stays at your place, but I don't feel like hanging with her.

People who use "That's cool with you, right?" piss the fuck out of me. I don't have time for that shit. Friends don't blow friends off who take vacation days to hang with them, even if this girl can suck dick/east pussy/fuck/take it in the ass like a champ.

End of story.

@Jennkryst

Actually, if you go with Demon, I'd highly recommend just tossing out all other races, save for Mortal+ types, maybe even Hunters.

Go with Option 2. Demon was, in my opinion, their best product, and it showed. Be versatile in how you create your demonic avatar, and it'll be a lot of fun to play.

@WTFE said in RL Anger:

Does that count toward "I'm posting for my own amusement"?

I fucking hate everyone, and so does my liver.

@Thenomain said in RL Anger:

By which I mean: This is what I advise, being someone who needs kicked in the head to not get caught in the same 'no you/no you/no you/no you' trap.

It's like that whole "no you hang up" bullshit.

LIKE BITCH JUST FUCKING HANG UP THE PHONE BEFORE I CUT YOU.

@Ghost said in RL Anger:

There's a time to be Shepard

@surreality

I didn't suggest that you be a punching bag; I suggested that you be a wall.

Or, in the words of the Emperor in Mulan: no matter how the wind howls, the mountain cannot bow to it.

(Actually, I'm just trying to re-appropriate a cultural meme. If there's one thing I've learned in practice it is when to not respond.)

@mietze said in Forum Factions:

I thought Gany was a sweet young thing.

I'm in my late thirties, and I'm definitely the randy one of our trio.

@Roz said in RL Anger:

Never heard of it.

Admitted, I was young when I got into Sailor Moon, so the innuendo, pairings, and hinting were probably lost on me.

@Roz said in RL Anger:

What are you talking about? They're totally canon. What version of the show were you watching?

The version where they aren't that close?

@Kanye-Qwest said in RL Anger:

That Venus and Mars, though

I'll admit: I had hoped.

@shangexile said in RL Anger:

There is someone on this forum who believes in "naming and shaming". That person has long considered themselves an inquisitor of bad behavior, and for this reason they have many followers and admirers. Well, not just that reason; they have a lot of positive qualities, including an obvious amount of high verbal and visual intelligence and artistic creativity. No, I'm not being sarcastic! I used to be friends with them.

We were never friends. Such libel.

@surreality said in RL Anger:

...er, discussing things that make us angry RL in the RL Anger thread is not, in any way, derailing the thread. This shit makes people angry, RL. This is a thread for things that make people angry RL.

Of course not. This is a good thread to ramble and rant in. Then again, so's Random Bitching, as far as I'm concerned, and that's where, apparently, discussing this is apparently a derailment.

But, I'm glad things have been ironed out.

Which means, technically, I win.

Give me a lolly.

@surreality said in RL Anger:

As an addendum to the 'babe in the woods' thing: @Kanye-Qwest and I have certainly had our share of snarling at each other. She had a legit question about something a while ago that could be taken as this sort of thing -- but she did a damn fine job of being clear that wasn't her intention in any way and I had zero problem taking her at her word and made sure to say as much. If somebody has a genuine question, and isn't playing stupid 'gotcha' games, it's often very evident. Hence the 'I am not taking @kk's question as an innocent inquiry'.

Now, let me show you where I am confused.

Your response raises a whole bunch of questions:

• What "legit question" are you talking about?
• What do you mean by "this sort of thing"?

As far as I can tell, you went ape when @kk said:

I am quite baffled. I believe that you argued that threads shouldn't be derailed over this stuff and yet here you are four days later on another thread still complaining that people didn't like that word being used.

The accusation here is that you said that threads shouldn't be derailed over whether someone should or should not be insulted over something (or discussions on gender politics, I think). You responded by saying, in paraphrase, that threads shouldn't be derailed unless you happen to be in the right forum for derailment.

Five days before, in the Random Bitching forum, you told @kk that you were tired with having to confront gender politics on a daily basis, and that you wanted to just focus on games and stuff. This is where @kk apologized:

I didn't and don't get the vibe that you had any intention of being mean about this.
I had some situations relating to such things myself both online and irl. I have no desire to go into the details though.

I apologize that the thread has been frustrating to you.

This wouldn't have started if the insult wasn't used in the first place and it wouldn't have escalated if it wasn't argued and defended like it was, when it was called out. A simple sorry, shouldn't have used that word would have silenced it a long time ago.

So, this being the last comment before she made the one you emptied on her for, exactly what sort of "grudge" exists? Because, as I was reading it, @kk was essentially saying: "hey, I'm sorry the thread went this way, but I've been through some rough gender-bias stuff too, and I just felt compelled to call it out."

See where I'm confused? You want to avoid discussions of gender politics on game forums because you face it on a daily basis, and she apologized for doing so. And then she points out that you're engaging in a discussion (kind of) regarding sexist slurs, and you elect to find some sort of grudge in it. I understand that there's a difference here, but @kk literally hadn't said anything for five days, and not even in the same thread.

That's why I honestly took a double-take. Because you did say something along the lines of "this sort of talk derails threads and I don't like it" and then you're fine with engaging in a similar discussion because it's a different thread, and admit so.

It's confusing. That's why I wanted to understand.

I still think you over-reacted on this one, but I've got a clearer picture now. Thanks.

@surreality said in RL Anger:

Please stop being deliberately obtuse if you're asking for shit to defuse rather than escalate.

Being accused of being obtuse is one of the most insulting things anyone can accuse me of being.

I'm making an inquiry, albeit as an interrogatory. I am clearly making an inquiry because I do not understand something. I spend literally hours a week researching and investigating things. I know when I've hit a point where something doesn't make sense or requires further explanation.

If you're going to be choose to be patronizing because you're too lazy or stupid, or both, to piece together a cogent defense, so be it. But don't for a moment think that I would preface a comment like "show me" with "I'll bite" because I've already made some sort of conclusion. Show me or don't -- either is fine -- but don't call me obtuse when I could have just as easily passed on your vacillating.

@Ghost said in RL Anger:

I hope you have an office related accident at work on a Friday before a 3 day weekend.

I'm pretty sure that's how you came to be.

(Love you!)

@surreality said in RL Anger:

This is not a leap.

I'll bite.

Show me how you haven't leapt.

For the record, being accused of being a hypocrite is something I don't consider an attack because it is a rhetorical opening.

@Ghost said in RL Anger:

I hope you die of sheer happiness after all of your wishes in life are granted.

I don't wish for much, but if you have a family I hope they see you die in a fire.

(Actually, I don't, but I'm scraping for horrible things to say here.)

@Ghost said in RL Anger:

Don't do that again while I'm drinking water, ya shite.

What's that, you pustulent cunt?

(Said for illustrative purposes.)

@surreality said in RL Anger:

Maybe you should direct your ire toward the person who came in and started slinging the shit, because that wasn't me.

I think my opinion on this is quite clear, but let me try again: yes, that was you, and it was you when you decided, wrongfully, that what was said was, in your words, "petty grudgewanky bullshit." Neither I nor several others saw it the same, and we've called it out.

You chose this hill, not I.
