Rant

So, my ex Issac (19nb, ~16nb at the time) [pronouns he/they] was my friend from therapy group. He was really friendly towards me (and handsome!) so I (at the time 15f) started to have a slight crush on him.

This rant is directed towards myself. I'm sending myself to bed without supper.

We have lived here for the last 10 years. We always pay our water bill. Occasionally, we'll forget and receive a final notice for our water bill which we will promptly pay.

There are a lot of assumptions being made about the yeti's character, without anything to go by.

normally, i would, but what point is there? even if she has a bad day, she’s not going to learn her lesson. she has diagnosed npd and a bunch of other mental illnesses (untreated) and cannot accept fault.

Notes:

so many people say they support me even if i have autism and bipolar. they say they don’t mind, that they want to help me. they’re lying. they take it for granted, think i’m weird for something i cant control, take advantage of me and abuse me.

she yells at me for everything. she hits me (not hard) ruins my mental health, doesnt want me talking to anyone besides her.

stop trying to give me an ultimatum, saying i’ll go to hell or that we can’t be friends if i don’t pray.

But have you ever heard of *womanwalking*?

For like 12 years I've worked in the service industry. That means sporadic hours and shifts that can happen whenever. About a year ago though I got a 9:00 to 5:00 job and it has been absolute hell trying to live my life as I have. How do normal people do this? All the business hours of places that you need to go, the bank, the doctors, the post office. Office they're closed by the time you get off of work. I have to actually call off of work just to get anything done. There's no way the majority of people are living like this, right?

Jesus Christ. That was the shortest amount of time I’ve ever been part of a social media site. It was overwhelming & everything was locked behind a subscription to separate accounts. So I couldn’t take part in many chats. I want to be an informed citizen but that place seemed like the devil himself. Additionally I got like 20 emails from everyone I followed. It was constantly pushing notifications about things I couldn’t participate in because I wasn’t a paying member. I’ll stick to mastodon.

(Saw some random Internet post a while ago about a guy who wouldn’t stop harassing his “friend”)

my family is always fighting and everyone instantly starts yelling. If someone outside saw it theyd think we're unhinged. it is horrible, we get along most of the time but sometimes something flares up and it makes my stomach turn. i try and get everyone to be calm and accept what the others are saying and respect them but then theyre just stubborn and agitate me to the point i lose it myself. what do?

My sister Lena is 14. She has this one “friend” who is very odd from what I’ve seen? She’s known for being rude to almost anyone who isn’t popular at her school and yells at Lena for stupid crap.

no, my girlfriend is NOT responsible for genocide. she is not a terrorist just because her mom happens to be arab.

lots of people type similar. in fact, many people type in all lowercase such as myself. you don’t know who someone is behind the screen. you don’t know someone’s identity from their typing style.

I swear, 2/3 of the account blocks I make on Lemmy end up originating from posts to this sub, by accounts typically less than a week or two old. It's like, get a job.

Obviously, not everyone is like this, if you’re not like this, I don’t mean you.

(Idk if this is a rant, i need to talk about it though)

my friend always thinks she's better than everyone at everything. no matter what i do, I'm useless and horrible at everything to her, and she ditches me because I'm nerdy and not the most popular and because I don't like sports. she hangs out with the popular girls and talks about me to them and why they should exclude me if I ask to hang out with them.

(I was gonna put this on an LGBT community but I can’t find one I’m looking for that’s just for talking)

Apologies for more trump stuff on your feed, this hurt me personally.

Back in 2022, I was obsessed with anime. I forgot who, but I definitely had an anime character as my PFP on Discord.

Tried creating another Reddit account with a different phone number. I got banned. I did NOTHING.

I had a girlfriend who was usually quite nice, but she mostly had internalized homophobia, thought she was better than everyone else and "one of the good ones".

Decided that Rant may be a better place for it.

(I don’t need advice, I’m already broken up with her, so I’m kinda just ranting).

My BF Jay hardly ever responds to my texts anymore (we are long distance, sadly). He hardly ever expresses affection for me, and our relationship feels more platonic.

Some people, of course, answer questions respectfully, which I’m grateful about. However, there are many people who just respond with stuff like “What a stupid question. I hope you die you fat bitch. Of course it’s people like you who ask stupid questions like this. You don’t know anything, shut up and die.”

My friend Abby texted the group chat one day. She said that our friend Ella's mom texted Abby and told her that Ella passed out and still hasn’t woken up.

We have a president that continued it's reign for three terms in a nation that can only run for two, effectively acted as president for six terms (prime minister and president with executive power), essentially rigged an election where the majority believed that he would lose, and people just don't pay it any mind! He's gonna run again! It's not legal it's not but fuck you!

Just got a prepaid SIM card that came with 10GB of data. I thought I was deactivating automatic renewal, no. It just fucking deactivated it completely and removed all remaining data immediately.

I hate accidentally clicking on that website on search results. What kind of deranged website translates code??? It ignores the browser language setting and translates based on ip, and it keeps happening even if you click turn off translate for this website. Aaaargh

It may be too early to call, but to me it's looking like democrats are going to be losing for a long long time if leftists are stuck moronically fighting each other over invented strawmen. Honestly the interaction was so bizarre and nonsensical and polarized I have to wonder if the comm is an organized effort to disrupt leftists.

I think reasonably, the destruction of Palestine and its people has been weighing so heavily on me. Every time I have to buy something or get a paycheck I think about where that tax money is going and what a coward I am for not doing more than joining protests when they are nearby. I used to think the Vietnam protesters or the germans that hid their neighbors or the volunteers of the underground railroad network were such brave rebels but I’m starting to think they felt this same deep hopelessness at how small their power was in the face of state sanctioned genocide. I’m so upset at the lack of basic humanity in our lawmakers worldwide, the complacency of the US population in the face of an ethnic cleansing, and the continued dishonesty and corruption of the media. It seems so ridiculous and tragic to enjoy a basketball game or window shopping in the midst of this.

I understand that effective journalism costs money to produce, proficient journalists should get and will go where they are paid, and sites need funds to maintain their operations. All that makes sense. However, I don't read one website I use Lemmy and internet searches to find news I'm interested in reading. I maybe go to the same paywalled news site twice a week at most, but rarely if ever quarce a month. It would make no sense for me to have a subscription to any paywalled news site even if I wanted to spend money. I have no option other than to use proxies, assume the article from others' comments, or just read the title.

Hey fast food workers who work the fries, I don't give a fuck if you hate salt, put the correct damn amount of salt on my fries, I don't want to taste the concept of having salt on my fries! No, I want my fries to remove all liquid from my mouth so I can guzzle down my flavoured sugar water!

I was with a man for four years and thought we were going to get married. He was a widower and I fell in love for the first time. When I found out he was cheating, it killed me. I felt my whole self die.

Short preamble: I am European. Here, people rarely die or go bankrupt from healthcare. They will just get worse treatment and longer waiting times than the richer. So, I definitely lack personal anger and grief.

I think in the shower. But not the kind of silly stuff that makes people smile, unfortunately.

Lowes hooked up a new washer/dryer combo, but when I ran it the water backed up. I went to clean it up and got electrocuted somehow.

if you want to share a shitty app for the top mobile platform (71%+ market share) instead of the second, even worse platform (28%+ market share) without making it a huge pain in the ass for any recipient, or who knows, even discoverable by random people, you have to pay $20 for the fucking privilege, only to be hounded every few months by google threatening to close your account without takesie backsies because you had three months to scan all your official government papers and send it to them and you fucking failed to deliver. oh you wanted to make a single fucking penny developing apps? they are gonna need a hefty chunk of that coin, oh and, sorry, policy update just came in, we'll fucking fully doxx you under every app you make if you dare monetize. protecting the consumers!!!! very importe!
