Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!
- Thread starter strawman
- Start date
I don't know. I'm feeling really discouraged tonight over several things.
Plenty of ways to incorporate belle ringing, depending on the type of bell and the situation Dill's in.
Boxing match? Phone going off at the worst possible moment? The hour being tolled meaning someone failed a task/deadline, dinner being ready, calling someone at reception, a doorbell,... But how to get there or make a punchline out of it is why I'm not a writer

She just cancelled the second date.
It's official. No one wants me.

Did she say why? I know it's tempting to immediately apply the "it's because of me, I'm terrible/unlovable" logic to it (my mind works like that too) but there can be a million reasons - from "I got back together with my ex after all" over "I was test dating 7 people and I'm only moving forward with 3 and you placed fourth, sorry" and "I liked you as a friend but didn't feel much of a sexual spark" or "my friends talked me out of it because you're a bit nerdy but actually so am I and they aren't and why should I listen to them hold on a minute" to "I'm unexpectedly out of town that day but would still like a second date on another time".
It's just another rejection to me. All I get are first dates, if it even gets to that. This was the first time someone actually made plans for a second.
I'm just so tired of being lonely.
This is completely understandable, and reasonable. It's really, really hard to find someone you're totally, or honestly, mostly in sync with; emotionally, physically, etc. But the thing you need to remember is that it's not just you, it's that way for everyone. Taking her at her word, she didn't feel like she'd be a good partner to you at this point, and that's good that she could see that in herself. It's hard to be honest with your own flaws. Don't look at this as a rejection. For whatever reason, you guys aren't the right match at this time, and it opens up the opportunity to meet someone who is.
Yes, dating kinda sucks right now. The wife and I people watch at the restaurants and bars we go to and we've observed people who are overly stressed on dates when they really should just be having fun getting to know someone. Dating has become a pressure cooker environment. It gets even more difficult as you get older because it feels like a job interview. "How many relationships have you had over the past five years? I see. How did your last relationship end? Interesting. So you're available two evenings a week and most weekdays? Good. Mackenzie has soccer practice on Saturday and I need someone to cover that shift. Are you going to do something about those sideburns?"
Maybe go to Meetup and look for social singles groups. Before I met my wife, I signed up for a young single professionals group in Houston. It turns out there were lots of people like me who enjoyed intellectual pursuits and geekdom, and who hated nightclubs and all that went on in nightclubs. More importantly, the group events were members-only and held in public venues. Everyone was relaxed because they knew all the members were vetted. Had I not met the wife on Match just a couple months later, I'm almost positive I would have found someone in that group.

MeetUp honestly sucks in Halifax. There aren't any good groups to join.
Customer: Why are these two reports producing different data?
Me: Explains how these reports (that this person I’m talking to explicitly designed) for the 1000th work and why they are the way they are.
Customer: Ah thanks for the explanation. But why is the data in these reports so different? Is that a problem?

Aww, the angry proselytizing Krishna guy was back and I missed it.Aww, the return of the angry proselytizing Krishna guy was removed before I could comment on it.
This. Make a algorithm that sorts them by hotness, especially their face. Maybe call it Face Space or something.
*sigh* Woke up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep.
Me too. Sleep tracker says 3hr 55 min of sleep.
I have another petty whine related to pornography.
So I'm an aficionado of Japanese porn movies. However, I do not know Japanese, personally. This means I like it better when the porn movies have translated subtitles. There's a site I visit a lot that's sort of like an aggregator of Japanese porn torrents, and it has a special tag for works with subtitles. In the past, there were several groups releasing these subtitled works, where they'll take a Japanese porn film, stick subtitles on it, and then release it via torrent for people to download. This meant that generally speaking people usually had at least 3-4 options to choose from on this aggregator site when they wanted to download something with subtitles. For example, one particular group's subtitles might be better, or another group's releases would be higher-definition but had larger file sizes, yet another group would have smaller files for faster downloading but the video quality wouldn't be as good, etc.
Well, lately it seems like a lot of these subtitler groups have ceased operations, to the point where oftentimes there's only one subtitled version available for download for each released work, or even none. And this sole remaining group releasing subtitled works is kinda annoying because they add a bunch of extraneous stuff like watermarks to the film.
I get that these translators and subtitlers were working for free and just doing it for the love of the game. I've done my share of translating and subtitling, so I really do understand the work that goes into them. I'm not saying that I'm entitled to have lots of subtitle options to choose from or anything like that. But I miss the days when I could click on a work and choose a download that I knew would be just the right size and definition, and would have high-quality subtitles.

The most shocking part of this is that you watch porn for the plot.
I will have to put my "best friend" down today. So after 13 years I will need to change my profile pic,
I understand that - we're getting close to having to make that decision for our cat who just turned 18 that we've had since she was born - we keep hoping that she will make the decision for us, but it's getting harder and harder to put it off.
He passed the medical. Vet just thinks he had a panic attack last night.
He got a cheeseburger on the way home.
