Rants far and wide

When this scenario plays out:

Person: Alright, everyone. You don't have to like each other. You don't have to be friends. You don't have to hang out, make out, hold hands or send 'get well' cards. You just need to demonstrate basic civility. Okay?

Other Person: YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not angry, as such. This is exhausting.

Everyone who has responded to Kohadre's reply has missed the objective failure in his reply.

The rant thread is meant for people to unload a frustration without public comment. Had Kohadre sent me the same thing in a private message, my feud would stay between the two of us and perhaps someone I trust to help mediate. Now I am publicly obligated to speak on the matter though I would have preferred for it to stay between us. Kohadre has, in effect, ruined the purpose of this thread and everyone else jumped on the bandwagon.

I will not merit Kohadre's reply with one of my own. Incoherent rants by a man-child do not interest me.

Had no one replied, Kohadre's response would have been forgotten by next week.

I change my mind on posting.

I hate self doubt.

(Now, to add something to this rant thread I think we could all use.)

However, I realize self doubt is a good marker for humility, which is something I'm learning. Growing up in a high expectation community (my parents/school/peers, etc), I was conditioned to show off in order to show my self worth. This sets up an attitude of self doubt... Am I good enough? If I fuck up, is my life objectively less worthful?

I may hate self doubt, but it also reminds me of my limitations. I don't always advocate balance, but in this case, a little self doubt can keep me safe and not doing stupid things.

[strike]I don't like people who discuss people instead of ideas and make it look like they're the good guys just because they adopt the views of whatever group they're a part of.[/strike]

I don't like mouthy sheeple.

Irony is the argument of the weakminded. The gates of hell are marked by the words "Yeah but..."

I wish you knew...
I wish I knew.

I hate how cupcakes loose their heads so easily.

I just want to enjoy my time around them, offer then encouraging words, but their frosty tops are too poorly attached to their crumbly bodies.

They are so prone to smearing themselves all over everyone and everything around them, without any consideration that perhaps others would rather not be covered in frosting.

Yes, but because they are so delicious, defeating a cupcake only makes it tastier. It only gives the cupcake more deliciousness, because more people identify with that cupcake in the sense that it's frosting has been removed and it needs help to get it's frosting back.

The cupcake promises eternal salvation of cupcake hunger, as long as people willingly choose to be covered in frosting, and seek to smear frosting on others as well.

If you deny the cupcakes sugary salvation, you will be cast out of cupcake land and labeled a cupcake hater.

It snowed here last night. It does not normally snow here. Apparently it has given everyone permission to act like idiotic children today. If one more person sings "Do You Want To Build A Snowman" from that horrible 'Frozen' movie to me today, I will personally take a flame thrower to Olaf and everything else 'Frozen'. :evil:

I hate "want".
