Rant Thread

You know the notice right on the login screen says they're looking into the server and authentication issues, yes? They know about it and are working the best they can at it. This sort of things rarely happens with Blizz anymore. If it were any other company, you'd probably not log on for days. So don't sweat it. They'll figure it out. Technology isn't perfect and Blizz is run by imperfect human beings. Just some things to keep in mind.

Snowy is the internet all from a single router? If so disconnect it for one night and say "since theres no internet I guess you've got time to clean now!" Or start charging double rent with the reason "If you are going to act like hotel guests you can pay like them too!"

My other suggestion is to find a flat with your partner and be done with them. Hell truely is other people!

Oh we've done that already, the internet thing. We changed the password and only gave them the new one when they promised to clean up.

My fiancé had a word with them last night. Things got done. They've done all their chores, so nothing to worry about for a while until it's their turn again. Hopefully by that point they'll realise that everyone else is doing their fair share of housework too so they'll get their ass in gear, else we're gunna start taking the internet away again. I'm just so sick of their shit. Sadly I can't move out until June, that's when the current contract ends, but thank god after that I'll be moving into a new house with some of my best friends and my fiancé. And I already know they're clean people!

And just to clarify, I'm not just being some OCD insane clean tidy person. The house can get pretty fucking disgusting. I hoovered the kitchen floor the other day and not even a few days after it was covered in bits of cheese again. And apparently that's not a big deal? I DON'T WANT ANTS, THANK YOU. And I don't even want to talk about the amount of hair I find in the shower drain sometimes...

Castile that is EXACTLY what I thought of when I first thought that too. I see that image in my head almost every day now. xD

Got a cold or something and I'm so mad about it. My face feels like it's going to fall off. My eyes are itchy. My poor nose and lungs hurt! And the inside of my head feels like it has been liquified. It's so gross and wrong and I hate it!

I'm going back to bed! Ugh. (Seethes internally.)

Yeah I'm not the cleanest person but if someone asks me nicely "Hey can you do this?", I do it. xD

and my hair, I shed worse than a dog, I can't help it. It clogs the drain in the bathroom a lot too(It's a shitty drain and really small and we can't take it apart either. It's one of those ones were the stopper is connected with the drain). But we still take care of it. Draino works wonders. I just wish we had a better drain so it wouldn't clog so easily. I miss the one I had in Florida that would catch the hair and keep it from going down with the water. I could pick up the clump of hair when I was done and throw it in the trash.

Fucking Blizzard is at it again I tried to log into my hunter no go did let me log my death knight only to see my hunter is still in guild as is my girlfriend who hasn't played since last night when this shit started. Right now I am so pissed I may just wait to renew when WoD 6.1 comes out and we can fly if they still let us do that.

[cowmuflage]

I'm still thinking in my head if I should be angry or not over that ending to the 3rd Madoka movie. I can see why people would be mad about it as oh boy XD

I have decided that it is the Evangelion of Madoka and so it is a total mindfuck. Okay I've never seen Evangelion fully but I know it's pretty cray cray in the mind XD

I think the best bet is to just go see it yourself!

We get ants too. My family leaves food right on the counter, knowing that we have ants, and half the time they don't even cover the food/close boxes. There are two bags of candy on the table now too that have been sitting open. Skittles and some store brand gumdrops X|
I'll go through the kitchen and end up tossing handfulls of food cause it has ants or mold all over it. Thankfully gramma hasn't started spraying poison everywhere. Yet...
Since they're in the walls I've been getting them in my room too, even though none of my food is open. So far cinnamon has kept them at bay. But I still see them scurry across my desk, checking for rare spawn crumbs. At least they're those tiny black ants and not fire ants. Though it's only a matter of time now, with how I've started finding fire ant queens coming in under the windows every spring, looking for new nest sites.

My rant for the night. It's still too cold to open my windows so I can clean my room. I am so sick of sinus problems. I also keep having teeth falling out dreams.

Oh! Junrei. You can probably find a cheap, mesh drain cover at the store. If you can't set it in the drain, you could probably turn it upside down at least.

[Lupis]

I also keep having teeth falling out dreams.

Me too. >.> That's a reoccurring theme in my dreams, happens so often that I often for a moment can't remember if they're real memories or not. So sick of having all my teeth fall out in dreams, bah!

It is a pretty common thing to dream about. I think it's normal to have those dreams? I think.

This is a SUPER COMMON dream. Dream-meaning websites seem to think that it means you want babies if you're a girl, but I think that's bull pucky.

As far as I can tell from experience, it's directly related to stress. When you sleep under stress/agitated circumstances, you're likely to grind your teeth unconsciously. The ache of the muscles and slight pain from doing it is translated into your dreams as the loosening/destruction of your teeth.

This is of course just my theory, but I know I do it and the dreams always get worse when I'm stressed out about something and I wake up and my jaws still ache. SO.

Haaaaaaaaaaaahahaha wanting to have babies omg no not at all wow

The stress idea sounds like it has some weight to it, though! That makes a lot of sense. Good to know it's a common dream too, I seem to recall hearing that it was but I never got around to looking it up because, well, when I do I'm told it means I want babies. Haaaahhahahaha...

"My Teeth Are Falling"

Dreams of falling teeth are the most common dreams that Dream Moods receives. The typical dream scenarios include having your teeth crumble in your hands, fall out one by one with just a light tap, grow crooked or start to rot. Such dreams are not only horrifying and shocking, but they often leave you with a lasting image of the dream. So what does it mean?

One theory is that dreams about your teeth reflect your anxieties about your appearance and how others perceive you. Your teeth help to convey an image of attractiveness and play an important role in the game of flirtation, whether it is flashing those pearly white, kissing or necking. Thus, such dreams may stem from a fear of rejection, sexual impotence or the consequences of getting old. To support this notion, a dream research found that women in menopause report to have frequent dreams about teeth. This points to teeth dreams as being related to getting older and/or feeling unattractive and less feminine. Teeth are an important feature to your attractiveness and how you are presented to others. Caring about how you look is natural and healthy.

Another rationalization for these falling teeth dreams may be rooted in your fear of being embarrassed or making a fool of yourself in some situation. These dreams are an over-exaggeration of your worries and anxieties. Perhaps you feel that you are unprepared for the task at hand. However, you will find that your worries are unfounded in most cases. Sometimes what plays out in your mind is far worse than what is reality.

Teeth are used to bite, tear, chew and gnaw. In this regard, teeth symbolize power. And the loss of teeth in your dream may be from a sense of powerlessness. Are you lacking power in some current situation? Perhaps you are having difficulties expressing yourself or getting your point across. You feel frustrated when your voice is not being heard. You may be experiencing feelings of inferiority and a lack of self-confidence in some situation or relationship in your life. This dream may be an indication that you need to be more assertive and believe in the importance of what you have to say.

Traditionally, it was thought that dreaming that you did not have teeth, represent malnutrition or poor diet. This notion may still be applicable to some dreamers.

Other Perspectives

A scriptural interpretation for bad or falling teeth indicates that you are putting your faith, trust, and beliefs in what man thinks, rather than in the word of God. The bible says that God speaks once, yea twice in a dream or a vision in order to hide pride from us, to keep us back from the pit, to open our ears (spiritually) and to instruct and correct us.

Many cultures, including the Hispanic and Greek cultures, believe that when you dream about loose, rotten, falling, or missing teeth, then it indicates that a family member or close friend is very sick or even near death.

According to the Chinese, there is a saying that your teeth will fall out if you are telling lies.

It has also been said that if you dream of your teeth falling out, then it symbolizes money. This is based on the old tooth fairy story. If you lose a tooth and leave it under the pillow, a tooth fairy would bring you money.

(Thank you to Brook who emailed us with the biblical significance of teeth dreams, to Vanessa who shared the Hispanic perspective and to Eleni who shared the Greek perspective. Anna contributed her mother's story about teeth and money).

TLDR - Stress seems to be the factor here.

Once again fucking Blizzard ruins the time spent with me and my girlfriend all I was doing was following her around like I always do when we are on together and my fucking latency was through the roof over 2000 home and over 150 world this is annoying as hell and if they want to keep their subs better do something about it.

[Bowno]

I don't think that's a problem with Blizzard, Cubs. It sounds like something on your end messing with your connection.

[Lisaara]

Cubs, Home means it's on your end. That's not blizzard's fault. You may wanna call your ISP about lag spikes like that or do a restart.

[Iowawolf]

Ok say this was partly on my end then why are so many others having the same problem the forums are all over it and it didn't start happening till the latest realm mergers and most the time it is fine just at times gets high also it can get high and I am not doing anything just sitting at the stable master. I am not trying to offend anyone just wondering.

[Nachtwulf]

It's probably because the traffic is being rerouted through gateways that can't handle it. Or maybe it's just coincidence. A gateway went down in CA a little while ago and the forums were all up in arms about that even though it had absolutely zero to do with Blizzard. People just scream incoherently when something goes wrong and it's easier to blame Bliz than the amorphous void of the internet.

But they're right. If the latency is 'World' then it's stemming from Blizzard's servers. If it's 'Home' then it's unfortunately your problem (or your ISP's).
