Content warning: Anti-LGBTQ rhetoric (presented by haters online) I was not and am not interested in Disney-Pixar's Lightyear (wrong demographic), but seeing literally every post/comment about it on the Internet being "get woke go broke", "take black characters out of films", "lesbians are inappropriate for children", "political agenda", etc. just makes me want to smack my head against a tree. think a lot of the backlash might be leftover from people still being steamed over the “Drag The Kids to Pride” event they held in Texas . Which did blow-up and aggravate a lot of people, so might be their directing residual rage at a different outlet. Who knows, just a guess. I was personally partially piqued in interest in seeing Lightyear. But after they announced they wouldn’t be recasting Tim Allen as Lightyear, my momentum waned quite a bit. The universe is continuously expanding every single of every day at an increasing rate. I genuinely believe the sole reason behind this is it wants to get as far away and as quickly away from our planet as it possibly can.

If I could not get sunburned every time I spend more than 20 minutes outside that would be great thanks

I cant take time for myself for more than a day without one of my friends having a massive meltdown that I'm not there and freaking out at me. Just. Leave. Me. Be.
You'd think after four years they'd know my pattern.

You'd think after four years they'd know my pattern. That's kinda shitty of them. I know friends are supposed to support each other and all, but you're not their therapist. If needs must, you could help direct them in that direction, even if you need to do so bluntly. Otherwise, metaphorically, everyone in the neighborhood is going to continue dumping their garbage in your backyard, hoping you will throw it away for them.

Otherwise, metaphorically, everyone in the neighborhood is going to continue dumping their garbage in your backyard, hoping you will throw it away for them. That's a really good metaphor. To add to it, I already had plenty of garbage in my own backyard, that doesn't mean my lawn is the new town junkyard. I was in the middle of taking the time to pick it up and get things back to normal.
Sometimes they aren't always just dumping their stuff on me though but just trying to talk to me and getting upset that I won't respond. But I need time to just be alone and be a vegetable sometimes. I should be allowed to just take a few days for no reason to play video games if I want to without being guilt tripped for it either. I don't need to be constantly "busy" for my reason for being be gone to be valid.

Mom just screamed at me for taking a ****ing bath when I took a shower. **** you and your insane screaming. I don't listen to you when you treat me like this. I really want to move out, I'm tired of this crap and people complaining about what I do.

Hold on, you broke up like only a week ago and they are ALREADY WITH SOMEONE ELSE. Jeeeesus christ. Yeah I can see your marriage really meant a lot to them that they were willing to gaslight you and wish you were someone else while with them and then hop into bed with someone else at the drop of a hat. I barely know your ex but if I saw them I'd throw hands.

Been feeling like that a lot lately too, but as long as we are alive we can keep fighting for something better no matter how much shit life throws at us As apocalypses don't have a set day to mark the beginning of the event (you could be living in one and never know about it until much later, provided noticeable changes happen within your lifetime), the same can be true for culture wars. The U.S. federal government has just butchered democracy and has openly declared that the only right message is for white Christian extremists. I reject that message. Edit: The message may be drafted towards certain religious people, but there's practicality in it for the lawmakers. Gotta keep the prisons full, as well as shit jobs, the streets filled with homeless (until something is "done about them"), the foster care system in shambles, soldiers and ditch diggers too. All in the name of power and profit. Money is too powerful.

So the post office person drove their truck right past my house and 5 minutes later I got a notification informing me my delivery was unsuccessful because I wasn't at home. I was standing at the bleeding door. Sigh. Edit: So he made a turn around and delivered it. Interesting.

I didn’t read the thread before posting and now my vent feels inappropriately out of place
Everyone else is venting about the completely serious issue of roe v wade and Teal is over here forgetting to put sunscreen on for the 500th time

Post by Saint Ambrosef on Jun 25, 2022 17:33:59 GMT -5
can we move roe v wade discussions to a different thread? i am not OP so it's not really up to me, obviously, but several pages of ongoing conversation about the same topic might be beyond the scope of a vent thread.
this is in part selfishly motivated, because im personally trying to stay away from online political discourse right now due to my anxiety, and it'd be easier for me (+ probably others) to avoid a dedicated thread vs. a conglomerate vent thread.

Aie, aie, aie. Gonna move posts so we can let vent thread be vent thread. Guess we can do a Roe v Wade thread although I can imagine it blowing up like a volcano.

People are going to talk about it regardless, so it might as be within a contained environment. Besides, aside from some exceptions, I trust that everyone here is on the same page with this topic. If anything, it would be a vent thread in and of itself.

If anything, it would be a vent thread in and of itself. i think i've made a comment here or there before around the boards about this, but it's not really a good idea to assume that "everyone is on the same page" when it comes to highly controversial political subjects. in my experience, there's a fair amount of conservative/right-leaning folks on these boards; however, they are generally pretty quiet about their views since the userbase here is majority progressive/left-leaning.

True point. Well if they stay (mostly) quiet, that's fair.

I’ve given it a thread of its own for the meantime, but I’m probably going to lock it as I’m going to bed (it’s 1am almost.)
