UGH.

Spoiler: Tl:dr Rant

Okay so, I finally have a chance to go see my bf (we hardly get to see each other at all) but when I asked mom if she would help by dropping me off in one town, so they could meet me over there to go see some of his extended family, (was easier than them taking almost 5 hours there and 5 hours back home after the day) she says "no."

This pissed me off because, for one, I barely ever get to see him. I don't have a license (only a permit) and he cant drive he's colorblind and I've only ever seen him 3 times. (And yes I know, I should've gotten my license when I was younger, but I was an idiot then, I know that now.) Yet, mom won't even help me to go see him. I swear I can't rely on anyone here and she always uses the stupid "I'm tired" excuse. Even if she only has gas for the week (which she would have more money if she'd quit wasting it on stupid shit), it won't kill her to take me over there and then back home for ONE day.

She never does stuff like this for me, unless it's in town and even then it's not much and I hardly ask her (or my family for that matter) for hardly anything. Getting to see my bf is important to me because once I manage to get a job, I won't be able to see him anymore. I mean, she can at the very least help me now and then . I seriously wanted to cry because I miss him. (And it's bad enough I have to nag her so much just to take me for lessons, which is not even every week.)

if you are seriously thinking you won't have do deal with anything anymore because some magical dude in the sky is gonna take you away from it all, you may as well kill yourself and save the rest of us the trouble.

Well I believe in the Rapture and God. So I might as well shoot myself now.

Packing up half my room and finding a shit-load of clothes still with tags on that I will probably never wear.
RAGE

Also, the sheer amount of stuff that there is to pack.
Sad face.

aside from my less than stellar view of Christianity, do you actually think that within your lifetime the rapture will occur and you are anticipating it or do you think that it'll happen when it happens.

I THOUGHT GAMETRADERS OWNERS HAD GOOD TASTE IN ANIME ;-; (There was like a shelf of DBZ at the bottom though, IT SHOULD BE THE OTHER WAY AROUND THEY SHOULD BE DISPLAYING THE DBZ STUFF PROUDLY AND HIDING THE HENTAI AT THE BOTTOM SHELF LIKE THEY SHOULD RIGHTFULLY BE ASHAMED OF)

I think they put the hentai up high so's the kiddies couldn't grab it. :3

RE: the Rapture. Guys, I'm a Christian, and my reaction to talk about the Rapture is GTFO. XD The first time anyone mentioned it was in the 19th Century, and there's no reference to it in Revelations.

I also whole-heartedly agree with what Aziraphale said on the matter in Good Omens.

OT: mood swings.

 

[Joker]

When people take things out if context and only focus on what they please.

I'm also technically a Christian, and my reaction to people making statements like that is very similar. It is incredibly irresponsible to behave like that: suppose you're wrong, and quit your job and fave everything away, and now you're homeless and jobless and can't feed your children.

What then?

^Not to mention Jesus himself said he didn't know when the 'end of the world' will happen. (cba to look up where, but he does) Oh Google, you make research so easy - it's in Matthew 24:26:

No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

 

[Max Payne]

Am I supposed to apologize for thinking illogical nonsense beliefs are illogical and nonsensical?

I believe in god, but I don't believe in the rest of that shit. The bible is a good source book for morals and general civility(disregarding the blatant atrocities littered throughout it) but I wouldn't take anything else from it.

I RESPECT the people courageous enough to believe in these things, the beliefs not so much.

I'm looking forward to the Rapture but more because it'll mean we all make our hero teams to fight the zombies we have been preparing for with video games.

Apparently the post was 'taken out of context'.

Spoiler: lotsa text

Regular readers of my blog know that the goal of my writing is to be interesting and nothing else. I'm not trying to change anyone's opinion, largely because I don't believe humans can be influenced by exposure to better arguments, even if I had some. But I do think people benefit by exposure to ideas that are different from whatever they are hearing, even when the ideas are worse. That's my niche: something different. That approach springs from my observation that brains are like investment portfolios, where diversification is generally a good strategy. I'm not trying to move you to my point of view; I'm trying to add diversity to your portfolio of thoughts. In the short term, I hope it's stimulating enough to be entertaining. Long term, the best ideas probably come from people who have the broadest exposure to different views.

Contrast my style of blogging to the most common styles, which include advocacy for some interest group or another, punditry, advice, and information. Now imagine moving my writing from the context of this blog to the context of an advocacy blog. You can see the problem. Men thought I was attacking men, and women thought I was attacking women. The message changed when the context changed. I saw that developing, so I took down the post.

Yes, I do know that nothing can be deleted from the Internet. Yes, I knew that taking down the post would increase curiosity about it. This isn't my first rodeo. It's not even the first time I've taken down a post and others reposted it. But I didn't anticipate how much the context would change when it got reposted on Feminist websites and Men's Rights sites. I should have.

...

But I didn't take down the piece just because I thought doing so would be funny, or because I wanted attention. Those were bonuses. The main reason is that when a lot of drive-by readers saw the piece, and they didn't know the context of this blog, it changed the message of the post to something unintended. As a writer, unintended messages are unbearable.

...

But perhaps I can summarize my viewpoint so you can understand why I'm such a misogynist asshole douche bag. Here's my view in brief:

You can't expect to have a rational discussion on any topic that has an emotional charge. Emotion pushes out reason. That is true for all humans, including children, men, women, and people in every range of mental ability. The path of least resistance is to walk away from that sort of fight. Men generally prefer the path of least resistance. The exception is when men irrationally debate with other men. That's a type of sport. No one expects opinions to be changed as a result.

Are women more emotional than men? I'm not sure how you measure that sort of thing. On the emotional scoreboard, does one person's anger equal another person's excitement? All I know for sure is that the Men's Rights group I poked with a stick has some irritable dudes.

To the best of my knowledge, no one who understood the original post and its context was offended by it. But to the women who were offended by their own or someone else's interpretation of what I wrote, I apologize. To the men who were offended by my mocking of Men's Rights, you're still a big bunch of pussies. But your criticisms of the legal system are worthy of attention. Even Feminists agree on that point.

Apparently the post was 'taken out of context'.

Actually, it was a social experiment!

also:

I want to rage but this tweet from James Urbaniak made me happy: "Shorter Scott Adams: I deleted my post on the emotional superiority of men because I couldn't handle the criticsm."

 

[Cloudskye]

April Fool's day. I hate it. Is it over yet?
