What Grinds Your Gears? :)

[Metroid]

A gear grind for me would have to be all these videos you see around the internet about corrupt police officers. The officers are for the most part doing the right thing, its just CNN and FOX likes to show only the parts that make them seem like criminals.

That's the news media for ya, they love to make a mountain out of a molehill with these isolated incidents and get the public wound up! That's how we get all these idiotic riots!

[IndigoErth]

Arg! Wasted too much of my time on some darn paid task online (that really needs to pay more, almost twice as much, for the time it takes anyhow!) only to have had the site/page screw up on me, the submit button not work, refreshed it (as it was the only hope anyhow) and lost all the info I input into the thing. All I could do was return it and forfeit that one. Damn them.

[BubblyShell22]

I will admit that there are corrupt cops out there, but that's not to say all cops are bad. And some of these incidents were the fault of the criminal not listening to what the cops said, though I think the one where the cop pulled a gun on a pool party was a tad over the line.

My dad being a jerk again. Seriously, Father's Day is a sham, and I'll never celebrate it again. He had the nerve to say that he takes care of my mom when my mother is the one who pays her own bills, buys her own clothes, or anything else. And he doesn't give a sh*t about any of his kids and wonders why the f*ck we don't want anything to do with him. And guess what? He wanted to take us to Applebee's for Father's Day, and we said no because we're not going to go out with a conniving piece of sh*t liar who bought a f*cking house behind our backs and lied about it to our faces. F*ck that. It takes more than just calling yourself a father to actually BE a father.

I got a Raphael doodle done. Then my sister drew on it. Ruined.

It's kinda sad that I'm actively avoiding so many threads and sections of this forum just to avoid the drama... BUT it's working. There are certain sections that I would just get so sick of, so I just kinda stick to a few certain ones now. Makes the Technodrome a more fun place... Sunshine, hopping bunnies, small anthropomorphic animals breaking out in song! It's all a lie, but hey- it's a lie I tell myself and my blood pressure appreciates it!

[Leo656]

So first, the little c*m-sucker refuses to stop PMing me, and that's kind of annoying.

What's more annoying, though, is I'm almost sure I either have a partially-separated shoulder or a torn rotator cuff. I'unno what happened, I just woke up on Monday and couldn't move my right arm. Hadn't done anything strenuous in a few days, so it wasn't that, but I can't figure how it happened otherwise. I figured I'd just slept on it wrong, which happens sometimes, but never to the point where my arm was just locked up. As the day went on it got a bit better, but moving it at all still hurt. Then Tuesday it was sh*tty, but it loosened up enough over the day that I was able to work out, and that actually felt fine, but it's persisted in getting a little worse each day. Ice and stretching isn't helping, and my wife was rubbing my back and found that there's definitely something misaligned on the right side.

The fact that I have *some* mobility tells me that more than likely it's "just" half out of the socket, but I can't get to my chiropractor until Monday at the earliest. And I'unno how the hell I could've screwed it up this bad just by sleeping on it. That's another pain in the ass, I can't lay in any position that doesn't murder my shoulder. So sleep is kind of a pointless endeavor these past few days.

And I'm supposed to wrestle on Saturday. This sucks.

Spoiler:

You
You really try hard to act cool to everyone out there. But you really are douche. I never "threatened" to brain you, but the way you act, it's hard for someone to not want to do bodily harm with you. You're a jerk. Plain and simple.

Grow the **** up, sometime

--------------
Brother, you come into a place that you've already identified as "Hostile". You start telling people who've been getting along just fine without you, thanks, for many many MANY years now, how they "should" act/discuss/behave, because YOU find it unpleasant. Then, when people point out that first, you're nobody's Dad, and secondly, that people can comment however the hell they please, YOU start with the push-back. No, I didn't take your "threat" seriously, but it exposes which of us is the "jerk" or the "douche", and frankly, the Mods don't care, they hate sh*t like that. You're not gonna be here much longer, and you did it to yourself. Because the whole party didn't turn sunny when you demanded it.

You been here five minutes, guy, you ain't telling anybody how to talk. You could've just let it go, accepted that you're not the Thought Police, and accepted that you pissed people off, ignored the "negativity" and carried on with your life, and we wouldn't even be having this conversation. Instead, you got combative in a place where you're outnumbered. Slick move, genius.

For what it's worth, I agree, there's bigger problems in the world than how terrible these sh*tty movies are. On that, we agree. But this is a place where people talk, debate, and bitch, because it's fun. The ones who've been here forever don't all agree, on pretty much anything, but they get along fine because they have the maturity that you apparently lack, the ability to take a poke and not get so goddamn defensive. It's YOU who has to grow up, son. People aren't going to like what you like just because "It's not that bad and there's worse things". Don't come in here and act like you're "enlightening" anyone. If you don't like the atmosphere, there are much better places for you to be than The Technodrome. You could just as easily go on the movie's FB page and crow all day long about how much you love the movie. People there will care. People here Do Not.

You came in and told everyone they were assholes for not liking what you like. They collectively told you to take a leap. You got all huffy, and here we are. And I'm such an asshole, I'm giving you a calm and rational, snark-free reply that you really don't deserve, that explains in simple cause-and-effect terms how we got to this point, so that in the future, you can take steps to correct your attitude, and be a better person, while avoiding conflicts such as these.

Come see me when you've done your homework and improved your attitude and social skills. But try to do it quick, because while I personally didn't, and won't, report you to the Mods (unless you continue to act out), I know for a fact that others have, so you're on borrowed time. In their terms, what you said was a threat. So, wherever you end up, try and watch your mouth, in the future.

Nice job PMing half the forum to call them names, by the way. "Grow up", indeed. Good luck, skip.
-----------------------
That's cute, did you rehearse that before you wrote it?

I didn't attack anyone, I didn't call anyone names, I didn't claim to be the though police. I just expressed my annoyance and you ****ers came it me. If you can't see that, then you blind. Or delusional. Or both.

And half the forum? I didn't realize you and that Bry clown made up half of the forum. Nice exaggeration, dingus.

Look, bottom line, you're still a dick. Sorry this is the first you've been called on it. Just because the mods don't care, it doesn't make it right.

Do you're homework? You sound like an asshole. But that's to be expected from a dude with a Kevin Nash avatar.

----------------------------
You're six years old, I'm not doing this with you anymore. You got the movie section locked. Congratulations, "Dick". You don't wanna take my advice? Then go f*ck yourself. I tried.

And people TRY to "call me" on it, all the time. Doesn't work. Because they're f*cking retards, and everyone can see it, that's why they get in trouble and get banned. I'm not the problem, I just tell it like it is. Little children like you are the problem. And nobody came at you, you came in all huffy and they told you to knock it off. Aaaaand here we are.

Have fun on the Nick boards. I'm sure making a joke about someone's avatar is worth, like, a thousand gold or something over there. You ought'a really be a big hit with the other kids at the cesspool.
-----------------------
You just admitted you're a ****** person. You realize that, right?

You do realize that, right?

That you're ****

----------------------
Hmmmm. No. No, I don't. And I'm pretty sure nobody else does, either. I'm a sh*tty person by explaining to you how YOU need to improve. I'll say once again: You don't come into someone else's house, yell at everybody to shut up, and then pitch a fit when they tell you to get lost.

You said in the thread you were leaving. So now we know you're both a twat and a liar besides. Good. I like to know exactly who I'm dealing with. I was being polite so far, but now that it's been confirmed as a waste of time, I'll be sure not to waste any more effort. But it WOULD be polite of YOU to leave before the Mods have to waste the effort to force you.

I'm heading out for a while, so don't waste any of your "precious" time talking to thin air. I didn't ask for this reply... nor the one before that... or the message before THAT. Your job, since it isn't clear, is to speak only when spoken to. We know you suck at taking direction, but I'll be clear so you don't waste either of our time any further: I'm going out, don't f*cking litter up my inbox in the meantime. You've said your piece, and I. Don't. Care.

-------------------------
I think you do. Otherwise you wouldn't have replied.

The road to healing can start today, if you let it.

----------------------
Thanks Dad.

-----------------------
Anytime son. You're a disappointment, but that's why pencils have erasers.

--------------------------
Thank God you're still here, walking around, talking, showing the whole world why we absolutely need to have abortion remain an option, and that in some cases, we should force it.

In all seriousness, though, I know you're autistic but go bug someone else. There's people out there who get paid a lot of money to work with retards, but that's not my field. I have neither the time nor the patience. Goodbye.

---------------------------

I think that went well, so far.

In the near future, when mandatory genetic screening and sterilization are up for debate in the legislature, it's gonna be little parasites like this that are held up as a prime example as to why we need it. And it's gonna be pretty damn hard to argue the point.

As for me, I'm pissed that my uncle still owes me money and will not pay up. Apparently he's in town hanging with my dad and I've been invited to dinner. Attend and make a fuss, or just skip... probably just gonna skip. The money isn't worth it.

[BubblyShell22]

Sorry to hear about your shoulder, Leo. That is weird that you would mess it up and not know how it happened. Hope it gets better.

[Leo656]

Me too. And I hope someone shakes the Mods out of cryo-sleep and they ban this little f****t that keeps PMing me.

[BubblyShell22]

Is it the same one who just gave me trouble, or someone different?

[Autbot_Benz]

I wish the mods would do something about 1987 he is really annoying. He can't take people's negative opinion of FW turtles. the butthurt is strong with this one.

[BubblyShell22]

Yes, yes it is.

[Leo656]

No, bubbly, it's not the same person. And 1987 isn't a bad person, I don't think, and thus hasn't earned the right to be called any horrible slurs by me. Over-sensitive, definitely. But to my knowledge they haven't started PMing people to curse them out and call them names, either. So I'm not mad at them, just a little annoyed.

This other guy, though... part of me says, "He has to be mentally handicapped, you should kind of feel bad," but then the logical part of my brain says, "He shouldn't be allowed on the computer without supervision, then, and he deserves whatever he gets because you asked him to go away and he won't."

Seriously, everyone should have to pass a written essay exam to earn entry into this place. They let just anyone in, and during summer when the kids are off school it's just the worst.

You too, huh?

Lemme guess... it's gone a little something like this?

Him: [INSULTS]
Me: Hey, here's an explanation for why you keep getting into dumb arguments. Grow up and cut it out, please.
Him: NO U
Me: Seriously - here's me explaining the exact problem with your attitude. I hope you figure it out.
Him: ARE YOU STILL TALKING

It's like he's following the "How to Be an Irritating 14-Year-Old" guidebook or something.

And hey - sorry to hear about the shoulder! That sucks; hope it's back to normal soon. I've had a bunch of weird pulled muscles and a sore back a bunch of times lately that I can't explain myself. Sleeping is surprisingly dangerous...

[turtlefanforever]

ain't that bad. And Sucks about the dude that keeps PMing you. Mods should really do something. They very rarely ban anyone though no matter how much they deserve it.

That's actually a good idea. It won't happen, but it's a good idea.

Actually, as a potentially better idea (one that could be adopted), what if all new users were on a trial period where they were on review by their peers? At the end of the trial period, if they've acted out of line, we kick 'em out. Might potentially avert some of this drama before it really spirals out of control.

[Leo656]

Bry: Yeah, yeah, totally. He did it a few more times after I posted the bulk of the convo above, but it's all "You're a sh*t person" and me being "I don't care if mentally handicapped people don't like me." Now that it's in Day 2 and he's still going I told the Bosses about it, because I hate having my Inbox at 99% again, but we'll see.

I'm not going to say they should just let me run this place if nobody else is going to. I'll let the rest of you say that.

Hey, if the Technodrome goes the way of Westoros with everyone fighting to lay claim to the Iron Throne, I'm on nobody's team but my own, mate. I will have what is mine.

When you play the Game of Technodromes, you win or you die.

[Leo656]

I imagine "Game of Technodromes" would have a lot more rape... if that's even possible. There's no question there'd be tons of T-Cest subplots.
