Subject: 1st World Problems
Date Posted: May 03 2012 at 19:37
This is the place to discuss your 1st world problems. Maybe this can be a way of putting things into perspective, as there are many in the world that are less fortunate than you. I assume most, if not all, all you are somewhat well off, if you're coming on here by using a computer and having internet access.

For example,

This guy was driving 20 miles below the speed limit (which was 55mph), so
I was 15 minutes late to my class-at COLLEGE that I get to go to.

I have a stomach cramp and I'm all gassy. Maybe I should stop eating such a fiber- and protein-rich diet.

My book for a class that I'm taking this summer cost $140 dollars, what a rip off.

Wellington was late pulling the car around which forced Scarlett and I to stand in the hot sun for a full 2 minutes.  Also, the old tennis elbow flared lifting a glass of particularly old, particularly dry scotch at the country club.  If it wasn't for all the tax money the government pumps into my company I simply don't know how I'd be getting by.

My band got stuck (for the 2nd year in a row) with the last slot this past weekend at an outdoor arts festival.  By the time we were coming to the end of our set, most everyone was going home, and we actually had to end our set early.

It's a good thing to keep things in perspective, but we are also human...long as we keep ourselves level headed nothing wrong with indulging in what immediately impacts us! I am thankful to live in a first world country where I can complain:

We have a car in the shop that they won't f**king fix...pretty sure they are screwing us over and it's annoying that we're down a car. As the currently unemployed one I have to rely on others and walk to get everywhereAngry

I goddamn hate commercials. I hate that my consistent gainful employment forces me to work more hours and earn extra money so I can buy more video games and books. 

I hate it when commercials come on showing poor people in other countries being beaten and starved and dying of malnutrition and chil'ren without schooling or families or clean drinking water or hospitals. Too boring.

Stupid hospitals. I hate the police. I hate that if I get shot in the leg, I can walk to any single telephone in any house ever and press 3 magic numbers and have specially trained people find me, come to me, and take me to a wonderful land where they will fill me with prescription drugs to stop the pain and surgeries to repair the damage. That is too convenient. Jonas Salk went too far if you're askin' me.

I hate that stuff. My life is, like, awful, so, totally, gag me with a spoon, yah.

Nevada is such a s$%thole. All desert, though the snowy mountains are nice. Plus, I'm running out of my Millenium Scholarship money, so I really have to get my a$% in the gear and get pimped for more scholarships to pay off for the tuition and fees, which are nearly $3000 if you take 12-13 credits in a semester. Oh, and I don't have an iPhone. And yes, my router will lose connection with the modem if the power is off because they are not directly connected together in one unit. This sucks. Oh, and I get those tasteless commercials ("take your top off !") and sitcoms (The Big Bang Theory) on TV. So, I feel you, Alitare.

why not using a scythe if the grass is so long,

scythe is the ultimate gardening tool

i found out that in late midleage a man made a book to how to defend yourself with a scythe

War Scythe

A http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_scythe" rel="nofollow - war scythe is a regular scythe that has been adapted for combat use by re-attaching the blade parallel to the haft, rather then perpendicular so that it looks like a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill" rel="nofollow - bill . After the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Peasants_War" rel="nofollow - German Peasants' War during 1524–1525, a fencing book edited by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paulus_Hector_Mair" rel="nofollow - Paulus Hector Mair described in 1542 techniques how to fence using a scythe

Instead of starving like third world kids, I eat so much unhealthy food that sometimes it makes me puke. My mother says it's the cholesterol, and I believe her.

In other news: I sell shoes and on a regular basis I encounter Hispanics. Almost 50% of them don't speak English, and that occasionally ticks me off. You come to an English-speaking country, learn English. I don't wanna go tri-lingual in this life.

Also, Macy's had dumped a giant s$%t on me in the form of 8-hr shifts ... on a weekend when I have to study for the finals instead. Uh, sh... . Where is Karl Marx when you need him? Oh, I know where - in the freaking grave, man Big smile !

At least the months of the year when it's supposed to be cold it will be cold, not like here in FL where there are like 5 actual cold days a year and about a month of "not as hot as hell". Cry

It could be anywhere, be it your ankle, your neck, your head, even a shaving accident.  But something somewhere is fairly likely to hurt at any given point in time.  Currently, it's my knees.

I get close to barfing all over myself, whenever I encounter those semi-nihilists who think they're walking around with the weight of the world on the shoulders, because they've read Camus and a few pages of Sartre's early novels. I hate these emo-wannabes with a vengeance. First of all, they should get their facts straight - because most of those existentialistic "heroes" in whatever novel - be that in the Russian nihilistic movement, should preferably all set off alarm bells to those that don't feel, enjoy or just live their lives. 
But most recently it has become somewhat of a joke - something of a fashion statement. "Oh yeah everything is just sh*t isn't it, and there's absolutely nothing to be done about it, so why even try". This is of course very much boiled down, and to people who've read through a book like The Steppenwolf, I guess the long and painful voyage of not having any feelings, being bereft of any real emotion - does somewhat sweeten the final ecstasy when the "magic theatre" finally appears.

We see these people everywhere, in fact I was momentarily one myself in my teens - because it was cool in a non-cool way, but the older I get, and the more I see of this, the more I feel sick to my stomach. At least in the 80s, there was a fine romanticism going - with bands like Joy Division and here in Denmark Sort Sol who mixed the blackness of the decade with all these Gothic pictures of old devilish fears. Nowadays it's just done with fingernails painted black and a f*ck you attitude to everything around you, because what does it matter anyhow right?Dead

^semi-nihilists. Lol

I would suggest those people you describe believe in too much..... they obviously buy into the superficial aspects of their environment - they obviously buy into the commercialized and stereotypical clothing and paint.... They are incredibly superficial thinkers in a high level of confusion.... not liberated nihilists...... hence why as you say "believing in nothing" is so painful for them....

^I think it is a matter of not really reading between the lines(understanding is something different than reading words stringed together on a line). These people would probably root for the dark side in Star Wars all on account of the fine leather they wear... 

Seriously though, it's when intelligent people who actually read stuff - it's when these decide to join the ranks of nihilistic thinkings, that I get the urge to reroute my morning cereal. It's like those people who campaign against violence with a catchphrase like: Stop the violence - or we'll beat you into a pulp!

Domestic beer just makes me want to punch someone smaller than me whether I'm drinking it or not.


Also, the professional sports team from my local area lost a match to the professional team from an area that I don't particularly care for (though admittedly have never been to) and I'm fairly certain has a lower per capita income. Its just terribly inappropriate and should require some people to lose their jobs.

The only bots I know of are primitive scripts in games that program awkward enemies with unfair aim and erratic herky-jerky movements, running into walls, following each other in herds etc.

This is 2002 were talking about though.... now they can talk about how their brothers have 5 dead dogs? Shocked

Spam and bots have moved on a bit in 10 years ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forum_spam" rel="nofollow - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forum_spam  and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spambots" rel="nofollow - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spambots  
 
 
The poster never actually converses with anyone, it could be a simple automated algorithm with zero intelligence that picks up on keywords in the thread and drops a suitable post copied from another forum (we've seen that method used, it would be simple enough to code). However, I was using the term humorously - most Spam is from spam sweatshops employing people at a few dollars a week. (Spambot there would be closer to Čapek's original robota - slave-worker).
 
In this case, five random non-music newbie posts in 10 minutes... I could be wrong, time will tell.

Dead? I thought they were literally lost. [facepalm]. God, I'm getting dumber every day.

Go on, have a laugh.

On the topic: my stomach reacts to milk. God, today I've been farting every 5 minutes. Crap. I don't know what that is, actually. Could also be pickles. Plus, I hate the fact that they put sugar into bread. When I was in St.-Petersburg, I used to have sugarless (so I believe) bread-and-butter or buckwheat for breakfast. Here ... I discovered eggs with cholesterol-bloating bacon and sugar-loaded maple syrup, as well as sugar-loaded cereal. Christ. Makes me think of cancer, no matter how stupid this sounds.

Oh, and one more thing: ... National Enquirer ... ?! ... How does this tabloid still exist? I mean, ... they used a picture of Whitney Houston over 6 months ago for a plastic surgery article, and then they used the same picture for their "in memoriam" article about her about a month ago. Who buys this s#$t?

In other news: I have a crazy neighbor underneath me, and he listens to rap or hip-hop and electronica, turns up the bass dynamo, and BOOM-BOOM ... BOOM-BOOM ... BOOM-BOOM ... . That guy. I talked to him three times, and every time I talk he interrupts me with "OK", blinking frequently. And I asked for an officer to be dispatched and talk to the guy, like, ... 6 times !

Actually lost one, like accidentally deleted it off the CPU? That happened to me once, I overwrote a finished 7 page essay just hours before it was due, then I swore very loudly several times and sat for three hours and retyped it from memory. It was much much shorter, but I think I was okay in the end.

I'm so self-centered that I worry about myself a lot. Then I start to get angry at myself for thinking about myself which in turn continues the cycle. We could call it metahate. I doubt people from 3rd world countries can even fathom being that narrcissistic

Man I went to Hershey park when I was a kid or tween or teen or something.... GREAT ROLLERCOASTERS! and AMISH PEOPLE! AND CHOCOLATE!!!!!

Beer


The oldest one is the best one, its so creaky! also the one that goes backwards and upside down! The great bear or whatever its called was crazy but not the best.

I think I had glasses already (making me a late middle schooler or early highschooler????) and I was holding them as the coasters went (I think). That was added scare factor!

WOOOOO!

BEST. Park. EVER.

I shower everyday, even on the days I don't feel like it, can you believe it?
 
And even worse, the temperature of the water is difficult to fine-tune, it's always either too hot or too cold.

^^

about the showering thing, I have to shower just about everyday or I feel ill. I can maybe avoid it for one day every two weeks. If I work up a sweat or something along those lines I usually feel like I have to have a shower at some point. In the summer I shower twice a day regularly. Sometimes I shower three times, but rarely.

By the way I used to be known for sleeping in the shower. My parents would hit the door and say "Are you sleeping in there" and I would jolt awake and nearly hit the wall.
