In a similar vein, yesterday a student went a little nutso and threatened to kill herself because she owes a lot of money to the college so they aren't going to let her graduate. On the one hand I feel bad because they waited until 2 weeks before graduation to tell her this but at the same time I'm not really sure what she expected to happen. poo poo, my high-school wouldn't let you graduate if you owed the cafeteria lunch money.

goatse guy posted:I still have my dealership job and I love it too much to give it up, and I have more than enough hobbies to keep me occupied. I have a place to live and a family that loves me too. I just have a lot of days where I'd rather throw myself off of a bridge because someone I thought of as a friend drugged me and assaulted me. I don't think anything will ever fix that. You're on the right path just by talking about it with other people and keeping occupied with other things. I never told a single person about my abuse for over a decade, and I think it's one of the reasons I'm such a miserable rear end in a top hat today.

Extra posted:More realistically could you legally get the car flatbed towed off your property after 30 days as long as the owner was given notice and signed paperwork stating they understood that condition? Why do that when you could have a written agreement that says after 30 days you will charge a storage fee of $100 a week/day/minute/whatever, payable whenever they collect their car. They'll either get their busted poo poo off your property post-haste or in a month or two give up and give you the title. No effort needed on your part. It's what most shops do.

Girlfriend and I just had a fight about something that I had no control over and have tried to explain this to her repeatedly. Finally lost my temper and yelled "gently caress you!" into the phone before hanging up; just got a text saying she's done. Which wouldn't be so bad if, you know, we didn't have a kid together  gently caress this week. Monday I nearly went to jail/got my car impounded for apparently driving on a suspended license. Found out that some fines I had paid over 5 months ago got lost in a bureaucracy shuffle and somebody decided I should lose my license anyway. Spent all day yesterday at the DMV getting that bullshit sorted out, and they still charged me $150 to get my license back even though it was their fault to begin with. gently caress the moon, gently caress squirrels, gently caress all this wood in here, gently caress me, gently caress you, gently caress everyone.

meatpimp posted:Holy poo poo AI has had a bad E/N week. Tell her you're sorry. If I thought saying sorry would help at all I would have called her back immediately to do so. Don't ever date women with bipolar/borderline personality, and definitely don't ever loving get them pregnant. You cannot reason with her if she gets into a certain mood, anything you say is just going to make it worse. I am apparently a horrible person for wanting to go to my friends going away party on Sunday before he moved to Colorado because it was the anniversary of one of her brothers deaths. Of course she didn't mention any of this to me in the week or so leading up to the party, because I'm supposed to remember the date or some poo poo. I'm lucky to remember my own goddamn birthday let alone the day somebody I met maybe twice back in middle school died. Then she texts me out of the blue today saying that she'll be getting a ride to Richmond this weekend to see two of our mutual friends graduate from college, which we have been planning on doing for months together. I'm so loving tired. Tired of the constant having to walk on eggshells because saying or doing the wrong thing or at the wrong time can mean a week or more of super passive-aggressive bullshit on her part while I just try and figure out what the hell I supposedly hosed up this time and how to fix it. Only to have months old stuff thrown in my face whenever she gets pissy. gently caress life. Terrible Robot fucked around with this message at 23:31 on May 7, 2014 |

I am generally a very rational (to a fault sometimes) thinking person, so trying to argue with someone that is by nature not is just stressful as hell. A month or so ago we had another fight that turned out to be she wasn't actually mad at me but at loving physics  Part of me really wants to try and sort this out and go on with our life, the other half is screaming "SEVER", which as I said is kinda complicated by having a child.

Cat Terrist posted:The MG-F is the rear engine one, isnt it? Well it might have been regarded as okay if it wasnt for a certain other Birtish rear engined small sports car that flayed it. Just like the Lotus Elan (the FWD one) got flayed by the MX-5 - it wasnt a bad car TBF it was supposed to be a hell of a good handling FWD but the MX-5 blew it out of the water in comparision. Love a good roast. I can't remember, are you the one that also made a post about how poo poo TVRs really are (and if anybody else that knows what I'm talking about has a link or saved the quote, that would be awesome)?

Liquid Communism posted:If her bipolar's that bad, consider going with severing and swinging for the fences for custody. Nothing good will come of bringing a kid up around that if she's not going to get her poo poo sorted. I over-reacted a bit last night, she isn't like that 24/7 or anything. Finally found a combination of meds that work for her. But sometimes if she's over stressed it comes through. After talking poo poo out last night we are fine again but are looking into couples counseling. I have my own set of emotional issues so it was kinda a perfect storm of a lot of different things. Anyway, shits better, gonna see them after work and finally have a good day this week  Edit; Super Aggro Craig, that's awesome, best of luck. Maybe you didn't get that other job for a reason.

I went to a rural high school so practically everyone had a car by senior year, most by junior (got mine as a sophomore  ). Most popular vehicle was probably late '80s Toyota pickups with 31s and KC lights. I rebuilt so many hubs and brake systems for those trucks in auto-shop.

angryhampster posted:The problem is I'm a cheapass. The only item we've really splurged on in our entire house is that ridiculous couch. What should I look for in a lower-priced projector? I also don't mind buying used. Basically just like buying a TV, get the highest resolution, best contrast/color display you can in your price range. Another consideration with projectors is their lumens, whether you want to be able to watch TV with the lights on or be forced to dim them/turn them off just to see the screen. That may not be as much of an issue anymore, it's been 5 or so years since my dad bought one for his basement theater. And what Rhyno said, sometimes a bigger screen isn't better.

My not-quite-two years old daughter is more obsessed with cars than even I was at that age. She has to have a hot-wheels car with her when she goes to bed, hugs the car after riding in it, and calls my Celica a race-car because she loves watching youtube videos of Celicas rallying through the forest (and she'll get pissy if I try to sneak in other kinds of racing). If I'm working on a car she'll come over and pick up a wrench and try to help out. Basically having a kid is cool as hell.  Also, my mom used to sing Cats in the Cradle to me every night as a baby. She said she didn't really pay attention to the lyrics until I got older, at which point it was too late to try a different song.

Sooo I have a question for the more knowledgeable and up-to-date computer guys in here. I've been (trying to) build a gaming computer for the last year. Back in the day when I was more involved in the computing scene AMD was King poo poo of gently caress Mountain when it came to processors and I love the hell out of my old Athlon XP based rig, which I still keep around for running older games. I intended to go with an AMD FX- series processor for my new system and purchased a mobo with that thought in mind. But all I seem to see in SH/SC and YOSPOS is post after post about how much AMD and their FX platform is utter garbage. I've tried actually wading through the SH/SC thread to get more information but I left with a migraine and feeling even more confused. Bottom line this poo poo for me: will I hate life and my new computer if I get an AMD chip? This system would be primarily used for gaming and general-computer-fuckery.

Click either one, you get both messages and both Debbie Metallica and Lowtax show the same avatars... is this some type of matrix glitch? Well the last time Lowtax put up a red thread it broke the phone app for a week (technically not SAs fault, I think it was a coding issue with the newest version of the app), so who the hell knows what's going on now. I'm frankly amazed the forums work even half as good as they do, running on a kludged together version of vBulletin from last century and "maintained" by Radium for all those years.

The back glass of my iphone broke a few weeks ago so I ordered a $15 brushed metal replacement from china. It looks pretty good. I meant to replace the camera/flash assembly while I had the back off because the flash has been broken for months but decided I could do that some other time. Two hours later on a whim I try the flashlight, and it works fine. Wtf phone. Whatever, I'll take the win.

I've never been in many fights by virtue of being one of those people everybody seems to get along with, though for the life of me I haven't figured out why. Having some anger problems and incredibly low patience for bullshit generally makes anybody else think twice about trying, but my bark is much, much worse than my bite. I'm a big softy at heart.
