Update for Everyone IV - Hungover

[RaphaelDLG]

All these "opinion of <user>" threads are making me feel bad. I'm sure lots don't care, but also sure lots may actually care if they see a poll showing everyone hates them.

People can say "it's the internet, who care", but obviously there is a person on the other side of each username here. If you're truly just acting like yourself (and not a troll), and everyone rates you terribly, that has to mean something.

I agree.  Even though it's MK, I felt bad when he had like 30 dislikes and 0 likes.

Sorry about your loss CC

A TRUMP supporter came into my dad's work packing heat and saying he'll use it on any "rabid Muslim" and then started screaming at my dad and co-workers (the place is Muslim owned, joint Egyptian-Libyan owned) asking my father and his bosses where they were from and started screaming about how they're not true Americans because they weren't born in the U.S (this guy is from Jacksonville so redneck Florida) coming in to get parts for his truck. My dad's boss said "GET THE F*** OUT OF HERE YOU TRUMP!!!" LOL and the guy RAN like crazy back into his car and FLOORED it out of there.

Oh man, sorry you guys have to deal with that bullsh**t.

Jill Stein is now the preferred candidate of my work place.

You know, it's so amazing how much sh**t I'm reading about her not only on youtube but also among many of my friends in my facebook feed!!!

Which begs the question - are the greens destined to outperform paltry past results by cracking 1% this election cycle, or maybe even come somewhat close to Nader's 2.75% from 2000?!?

Oh yeah, and I just realized that someone has been using my laptop to edit random Wikipedia articles about various Australian golf tournaments because when I log on from time to time, I get random messages from Wikinazis telling me they've undone my apparent edits.

It makes no sense. I don't know anyone who uses my laptop other than me and my youngest brother, and he doesn't have the mental capacity to edit Wikipedia and insert full sentences about various golfers, a sport that he probably has only seen in Sesame Street clips if at all.

Then again, my neighbor across the street is a semi-famous Australian golfer who had until a few months ago an article on Wikipedia (I noticed it was taken off of the "famous Boynton residents" part of the town's Wikipedia article). Is she using our open wifi to edit Wikipedia articles about her colleagues??

It really sounds like it.

Re: Your other message - You have a lot of harrowing sh**t on your plate, brah.  I hope you can find peace with all of your family tumult stuff and find some way of coping with it more functional than the bottle.  It's tough stuff.  It's obvious that you give more of a sh**t about your family than the average asshole, and you should be proud of that.  GL

Congratulations! I hope the feeling is mutual - or, if it isn't quite yet, that it has good chances of becoming.

Unfortunately, no . It's complicated I suppose. I met a girl that has really has me aloof. I do not think I've met anyone this compatible in years! Normally I would have divorced myself from this idea right away given that most women are off-limits, but I've been getting more than enough positive signs the past couple weeks that I think something could really happen here. I'm ecstatic!

I'm sure Cathcon was being sarcastic/amusingly channeling Matthew McConaughey from True Detective, but you should pursue it!!!  In like, a respectful but aggressive way.  Thinking logically, what do you have to lose that is of great significance?  Slight, fleeting potential embarassment?

Your time on this rock is too short and tenuous to not go after something that has a chance at being so great!

However, despite my happiness (and I am happy -  the most I have been in a long time), there are a lot of pitfalls here. She is straight, her family is pretty religious and she doesn't want anyone else in her life to know about us yet. Worse yet, she is very clearly unsure if she is doing the right thing here. I've had enough experience both personally and from friends to know that this kind of volatility is probably going to leave me devastated at some point, which is why I just can't shake this feeling that I've made a big mistake..

Yeah, but EVERYTHING precious leaves you devastated at some point - maybe not tomorrow, maybe not this year, maybe not for eighty years, but someday.  The nature of existence is that we lose everything that is precious to us.

So who cares!  Just enjoy and be present to something great while you have it!  If it turns out that you don't want to be in this relationship anymore, you can always leave anyways.  It sounds awesome!!! Congrats!!!

I live in an apartment building and my upstairs neighbors (on the second floor) started throwing furniture out the window into the yard. One dresser even broke. When I went and asked them why they said they didn't feel like carrying it down the stairs. Long story short, I'm glad they're moving out.

bahahaha amazing!  (I admit it'd be less funny if somebody got hurt).

i'm so happy today (and no I'm not on ecstasy)

Did Koko the Gorilla stop by work and laugh at Ted Cruz Zodiac Killer memes with you?!?
