[Rant] Minor Rant III: For a Few Hollers More

Google Ads annoy me greatly occasionally. I'm not 100% happy with my job, so I've started looking around a few jobhunting sites - nothing much yet, I'll see it if something really interesting passes by. However, now I get frickin' job ads for my region and anything even remotely related to my job or knowledge base all over everything. When I'm reading HF, I don't want a job opening underneath for some sales job I don't want. When I'm atching porn, I don't need a job offer on the page, thank you.

I thought Downton Abbey was a comedy. :( I'm a little disappointed. Although it seems to be a good drama. Not sure why I expected comedy.
 
"So in summary, my daughter wants a toy that I will not provide for her. To overcome this she has taken upon herself to earn the money for this toy by selling lemonade and cookies on the side of the road. In doing so she has learned how to measure ingredients, how to operate a mixmaster, how to prepare lemonade, how to negotiate the sale of goods, how to handle money and how to handle working safely in the sun. And above all else she has learned the value of working towards what she wants regardless of the obstacles in her way, instead of just begging for it. And you want me to stop her?"

I don't usually get upset about facebook crap but I just saw something that said "Like in 1sec if you wish cancer didn't exist ):"


wtf really? Like if I don't hit like in one second clearly I want cancer to exist? way to minimize a serious issue. I'm rather disgusted.



the frowny face is what really did me in really.

We had to go with Popo because his eyes ALWAYS look unusually large/opened too wide.

Ran into a bona-fide flagrant, undisguised cheater in TF2 for the first time last night. Cheating so bad and so blatantly that you had to even wonder why he played the game at all. He was a heavy, and he was constantly firing despite constantly taunt emoting, and every quarter second he teleported to a random nearby location while aimbotting so he never was not pointing at his target all throughout, and his name changed itself to the name of another player on the server every 5 seconds. He was just standing outside the starting room for the other team, killing them constantly so they couldn't even leave.

I managed to kill him once by suicide blitzing him repeatedly with my melee demo, but after that I just found another server. I can't imagine it was even fun for anyone else on his own team, since they never got to do anything either.
 
This is probably going to sound whiny but I don't really care right now.

Lately the fact that I am single seems to be weighing on me more and more especially when I take into account that I have never had a girlfriend. Here I am 25 almost 26 and I have never had a girlfriend or even been on a stupid date. I am 6'2" I weigh 180lbs and I am decent looking and yet the fact remains that I am a introverted single male who has never even had a date.

Growing up I was home schooled so I never really got some of the social interaction I should have with people my own age. Now that is not to say I am socially inept I can interact with people just fine for the most part (although I sometimes feel like a bull at a new gate especially with strangers) I think one of my biggest issues is that I cant seem to pick up on flirting. I know of quite a few times where I will be talking to someone and later on my brother/coworker/friend tells me that they were flirting with me and they want to know why I didn't get a number. I of course tell them they should have said something cause it certainly went over my head.

Now I understand that I need to make sure I am happy with myself before I get into relationship or it can cause issues but for the most part I am happy with myself. Sure I still have low self esteem and I don't like seeing my reflection (even though I know I am not ugly I have never liked seeing my reflection)

I have tried a dating site but I didn't have any luck (although I suppose I didn't try my hardest at it). As cliche as it sounds I think another major issue is I just don't know how where to meet people. Most of my friends have moved to other states so I don't go hanging out with them very much and I don't really get a chance to meet anyone during my normal day to day stuff (work,gym,store,etc). On one hand I am contemplating moving to another state for work in the near future so maybe dating wouldn't be a good thing right now but that doesn't make me feel any better.

At a certain point humanity will go, "Yeah, that's about as many jokes we can make about 'pussy' being slang for 'vagina'." Because that well is dry (no pun intended HERPDERP)

Thankfully on SourceOp, this shit is dealt with in less than a few minutes or so. There's always an admin around or reachable.

I have no idea what they get out of it either, shit doesn't stand on our servers though.

Well, people haven't run out of gas on fart jokes yet. I think they've been squeezing those out even longer.

What? You guys all have your minds in the gutter. I'm not allergic to *that* kind of pussy at all. Tssss. Dirty bunch of perverts!

If my copious amount of movie knowledge means anything, what we should do is pay a hot girl to ask you out on a date. Before the date starts, we'll put you through a tremendous makeover program that doesn't really change how you like any more than form fitting clothes and a lot of makeup. When the aforementioned hot girl picks you up and is stunned by your appearance, she'll regret the whole 'pay date' idea and make her best effort to have a good time with you while attempting to pay us back. Slapstick comedy occurs when in the last second of the date, you'll find out that we paid her to do that and you'll run off in a crying fit. After we fight with the girl, she'll chase off after you to a remixed version of an old 80's song where you'll bond over the inconceivable circumstances that eventually cement the rest of your life together. Which is brought to an early end by an alien attack explosion fireball of DOOM.

This was me.
Met a girl at 25, married at 27.
