Re: Rant Thread
Yeah, as a rule I'm not a fan of people self-diagnosing. On the one hand, I did see a comment where not everyone can afford/has the means to obtain a diagnosis. On the other, going on Mayo Clinic and saying "wow this is kind of like me" reaaaally pisses me off. And people who collect diseases and wear it like a badge of honor annoy the hell out of me too. You know those people who are like "I have anxiety and OCD and aspergers and depression and schizophrenia and bipolar disorder etc." and it's like dear god no you don't you're making shit up to sound cool go away.cowmuflage wrote:Self-diagnosed autism. It's offensive to people who have it. I find it offensive when I see people on the internet use it as a excuse to be a dick hat. I have Aspergers syndrome and I NEVER use it as an excuse for my actions. BECAUSE GUESS WHAT??? Aspergers syndrome does not make you do those things.
You know what? it was one of the big reasons I stopped caring for MLP. Too many people using it as a reason to be sexist pigs. That or people blaming "the patriarchy" for their actions. Grow the fuck up.
If you think you might have some form of autism GO GET A FUCKING TEST. My god don't just say you have something like that.
Like my god. I've spent all my life learning to control my Aspergers and my OCD and it still makes my life difficult form time to time but I've never once used it as a get out pf jail free card before. Because it's not. I don't want pity from people I just want to be treated like a normal person.
I'm on the verge of crying tears of anger right now.

I want to know when having all these disorders and illnesses became 'cool' to have. It's so damn sad.Azunara wrote:Yeah, as a rule I'm not a fan of people self-diagnosing.

Re: Rant Thread
But as always, with a movement comes people clinging to it to get away with their own crap. Because people are more vocal and aware of illnesses, people who just want to feel special are grabbing up handfuls of disorders and claiming that they have all of those, just so they can get special treatment and feel super inspiring and great. Which is massively not cool, because people WITH those disorders stop being trusted as actually having them, and it all turns into Feminist syndrome- where saying your part of ____ group gets you labeled as the absolute worst part of said group. (In Feminist syndrome, saying your a feminist = MAN HATING SCUM.)

Re: Rant Thread
Kinda how I feel. I don't mind people having these illnesses and making me aware. It's when they start using it as a crutch or an excuse for bad behavior, then I'm not a happy camper. I live with someone that does that.LupisDarkmoon wrote:There's a general movement towards people being more aware and vocal of their disabilities/illnesses/etc, so that they and other people can learn how to deal with it and how to make communication and life easier. It's a good movement- it helps people understand that things like anxiety, depression, autism, etc are all very real and powerful, and it helps everyone learn to communicate and help each other.

Re: Rant Thread
Ugh, that's the worst part. People who do the whole "I'm gunna have ALL THESE DISEASES" thing don't actually respect people who DO have those diseases or disorders- they don't understand that living with those things is actually really hard and it's not some inspiring, wonderful journey of strength and love, it's HARD.cowmuflage wrote:I don't know why any one would want OCD or aspergers.

Re: Rant Thread
A few weeks ago, my boyfriend told me about a co-worker who quit after he lied about having arthritis. It was because he'd been too stupid to move out of the way of a truck that was only coasting at not even five miles an hour! This didn't even hurt him, but he said it 'aggravated his arthritis', and he and his girlfriend both quit their jobs. So, if this guy had arthritis, then why the flying frak is he working graveyard shift maintenance at Wal-Mart?! o_O
As someone who does have arthritis (rheumatoid, I've had it since I was twelve, I'm thirty-one now), hearing this pissed me off to no end. Though it is nowhere as bad as it was when I first contracted it, I still suffer from periodical flare-ups, and my hands, particularly my left, have a constant dull ache to them. Hell, I can no longer make a fist with either hand anymore. Back when I first contracted the disease, I was in constant pain, and ANY touch, no matter how minor, would hurt. I cannot work because of this disease, and I HATE having it! I have a permanent limp because of it, and every morning, I can barely walk because my left foot always hurts, but thankfully, it stops after a few minutes, but while it's hurting, walking is hard. Hell, I can barely do housework without my back and feet killing me after a few minutes of sweeping, or dish duty, but I still try to pull my share around here the best I can because I hate feeling like I'm dead weight to my boyfriend!
Rant aside, I really, really wish I could've given that moron a piece of my mind, because I really would've let him have it about using such a hard to live with disease as an excuse to quit his goddamned job after he was too damn stupid to get out of the way of a truck that wasn't even going that fast to begin with!

Re: Rant Thread
tl;dr I can't speak about other diseases/disorders but at the very least depression/anxiety isn't super fun happy oh it'll get better someone will kiss away your problems and with plenty of friends and love you'll feel better. No, actually, it tends to be crippling and difficult to deal with if you lack the support needed. So don't trivialize it plzkthnx. :c

Re: Rant Thread
NO! You and your dad were planning this trip, I told you that my family would be meeting us where you guys planned to go. You were responsible for passing on that information to your dad since you were the one sorting out the details with him. It is NOT my fault you neglected to tell your dad, it is YOURS!!

Re: Rant Thread
Call said person in, tell them they have a bad attitude that's being disruptive to the environment of the raid guild and if they continue, they'll be removed. If they aren't happy with your progression, they can find a L33T R@1D3RZZZZZ guild to be part of and ... well, will probably end up on the brunt of leet raider asshattishness themselves, hur.
someday I'll find someplace to host a sig that isn't stupid money-grubbing photobucket

Re: Rant Thread
Stay safe Tarn, such a horrible feeling We woke up one sunday to find both the front screen and door ajar - nothing taken but it was very scary to think the door had been open all night or someone had tried it maybe and got spooked and ran off? But im a very nervous person too and because my partner works away it really un-nerved me tooTårnfalk wrote:Huggles Syleye being a raidleader is super stressfull... i was one many many years ago.
