I can't fucking stand the job application process. You create elaborate application materials, send it to the contact person (who may or may not be a faceless HR department), and it's like sending information into the cold void of space. If you're REALLY fucking lucky, you will get a response rate above 10%, and that includes employers who tell you they're not interested. More likely though, it will be in the order of 5%, and the rest you will never hear from. Now, suppose you actually get some positive response, the next step is to have a fucking awkward phone or Skype interview where you try to not ramble through insanely open-ended questions. It might not be so bad, but then again, this half-hour of awkwardness has the potential to make or break your fucking career, and you can't even get clues how they feel about you due to the nature of phones or shitty internet or shitty webcams. Fuck all of this.

So much negativity surrounding StarCraft 2 currently, most of it not very constructive either. Reading so much of it on the forums starts to get to you; I swear I'm the only one who doesn't think it's that bad, or that it won't work out in the end. | ||

Sc2 isn't a good game. It never was. I can understand it's popularity as the sequel to a game that was actually good. I can't understand why anyone who isn't getting paid still plays it. It is boring, it's broken, and the community sucks ass. It's not fun to play. It's not fun to watch. It doesn't have any good custom games. All Sc2 fans are angry and miserable because their game is not fun. So they come to TL and shit all over everything. People used to come to TL to post screen caps of Bisu making funny faces or stories about how Jaedong bought chicken for his fan club. Now people come to TL to act like jerks and prove strangers wrong. There are actually people that believe two expansions will make Sc2 better. Have any of these people ever played Sc2? Sc2 doesn't have minor imperfections that need patching/fixing/redesigning, it's just a pile of shit. The game is bad and not worthy of the amount of time people have given it. HOTS will be glitter on top of the same shit. LOTV will be sprinkles on top of the same glittery shit pile. | ||

Yeh, so I really do just fucking hate everything. I'm pretty fucking done with reality, at least for a while. I can't really deal with it, and even if I could, I just don't fucking care at this point. Fuck it. I'm gonna get my old friend from treatment to come down and visit me, and we are just gonna do a shitload of drugs. I don't care. A SHITLOAD. Usually I would consider this bad, I'd go on and on spitting bullshit about how escapism only makes things worse and it's unhealthy and how I only do drugs out of curiosity. Haha, not this time. This time I'm making a distinguished effort to leave my body. Assist in the escape. I've only really smoked weed before, maybe a bit of drinking, little spice, and a little nitrous, but if he does end up coming down I'm really gonna be on a crash course through drug experiences. He's gonna bring salvia, shrooms, and shitload of weed, DMT, DXM, and acid. Maybe some other shit, like K2 or spike. Now that's a fucking recipe for jailbreaking this prison of skin. I'm looking forward to it because I just won't fucking care. Mix and match, mix and match, maybe I'll find a world where I'm happy. Maybe a even a little bit. And then, maybe it will change. It won't, but at least it will feel like it did for a few hours. Maybe I'll get torn away from this fucking place that I loathe more and more by the second, and maybe this skin will finally do. Until then, I'm gonna do my best to do my worst. Fuck it, and fuck you, and fuck this, and fuck everything. I fucking hate it, and at this point it's just a matter of time. Nah, I'm not done, let's go some more: + Show Spoiler + Fuck I just love when I lose the weight of my own body. When I stop even realizing that I'm thinking. That's the kind of high I'm gonna have. Oooh, what to do first. I think DXM; that'll be fun, losing my sense of time, losing my sense of placement, losing myself in everything from music to colors. Mm, robotrip the shit out of it all. And with a friend it will be great too, talking about something that we can't even remember by the time the air leaves our lips. Then, oh then maybe a nice combination of weed, K2, and spike. I'm not even sure spike is real, but I heard it's some thing that you smoke and then... it's like filling the space between lighting up weed and doing an actual hallucinagen. So yeah, that combination would be pretty sick; forgetting why I'm breathing, not caring that I don't care that I can't stand, falling through a distorted sense of consciousness. It'll be fucking fantastic. See, the cool thing is I have a minor case of synaesthesia. When I'm sober, it's not particularly noticeable, not all the time, but when I'm high... especially past a certain point, it's fucking INSANE. It's AMAZING. Music becomes so tangible, my imagination starts competing with my traditional senses. And I lose myself... Then shrooms, I think. They seem to me to be the most casual of hallucinogens. How wonderful will THAT be. I've never done a true hallucinogen, unless you count my wild synaesthetic visions. But this... this is different. I'll see worlds that I could never see before, that I could even imagine seeing. In truth it'll just be two guys, sitting in their room, how insignificant, but to us... we'll be soaring, through what land I just don't know yet. Maybe a lost continent. Somewhere no one's been for a really long time... maybe that's where I'll be happy. Now I don't know whether I'd want to do DMT or LSD first. I've heard people say that they change their lives after DMT... but then others say that acid is truly something else. The best. I don't know, both are very powerful hallucinogens, but DMT is a very quick and short one. I think... I think DMT first. I'll get to the second plateau, at least. Close my eyes, and write my own dreams... close one eye and I'll see half. Close both eyes and I'll see everything. Lock my lids, and feel my heart pound... the 15-30 minutes of that trip will be a lifetime, and a lifetime that I will never regret having. Not like this one. Oh, I'll become one with the music. I'll float through the grassy hills and rainy forests of my fantasies, and it will be what I've always wanted it to be. A world where eternity holds no resentment from me. It'll be like swimming through clouds. Then... then acid I think. I've heard such things. Most of the people I know who've done it say it's their favorite. I'll be swept up in tumbling sheets of understanding. Understanding the incoherence. It'll all be there, and it'll all not be there. It's going to be the world, it's going to be more than the world. I'll drift out of here, and I'll talk of things that will never concern me. I'll feel them, I'll watch the galaxy turn and the stars burn and I'll have my friend, my utterly wonderful friend, there with me. Someone who I'd want to be with if I was to ever go where I could never. Through space, completely disregarding everything down here. The ground. The crushing air. It will be something I will never forget, and something I will never want to leave. Away. And finally, salvia. Ooooh, salvia, how I've longed for you. For those of you who don't know, salvia is actually something else. It's hardly recreational, it's an experience of introspection with the widest bounds. I'll watch myself be torn from reality, from this place, but I won't go to another place. I'll go to the other side. I'll feel my body fall, both in space and in mind, and as I lie there I'll simultaneously become one with everything and nothing. And I'll see it all. I'll feel the smallness, the insignificance, the very fibers that hold me together. And there will be no control. I'm just here for the ride, but finally, FINALLY, I'll stop holding on so hard. And there's nothing you can do, the water ruins the maps we drew. Relax your fist, and tumble with me into the air. Maybe it will be therapeutic, maybe it will finally have me cope with all that I've been running from. Or falling from, at this point I hardly know. It would be ironic, wouldn't it? To come to terms with all of this, while experiencing all that? Hahaha, oh. Oh I can't wait. What is the true nature of me, and what is the true nature of this universe. I'll find out. I'll see the cross beams, and the skeleton, and every molecule in every part of it all. And I'll understand. Five minutes of the purest and most utter clarity. But it will be more, it will be an eon, it will be more than a lifetime, and it will mean more than a thousand. And then I'll start mixing and matching. HAHHAAHA, FUCK I CAN'T WAIT TO TEAR MY SKIN OFF IN THE MOST PLEASING WAY. | ||

I'm not talking about the fucking pros who get played I'm talking about the people who like to be competitive in their spare time.

Reading this thread is odd since I haven't felt angry at any particular person in a long while. I am sad though because I quit Starcraft about 9 months ago because I was playing it all day every day and doing nothing else and it was really unhealthy. Unfortunately I am starting to miss it but I have to forge a career first. I have a terrible attention span and low amounts of discipline instilled in me so it is hard to study subjects that I am uninterested in. Also, if I were to resume gaming regularly, I wish sc2 was a fun game so that I could switch to it because in BW it is really hard to find matches these days (when I play like twice a week) and I miss watching progamers in Proleague (Fantasy vs Classic today was a good game and all of the other games sucked). Ugh I really wish I could go back to a year ago when I was playing like 8 hours a day. | ||

I fucking hate all those retards who pretend that they're the fucking master trolls from 4chan, harvesting the butthurts. Some of the fucking retards I know on fb have put the most stupid shit, trying to get a reaction, and it's getting to the point where I feel like physically attacking them. They're the fucking scum of the earth, seriously. | ||

Just had to break off a friendship with the first person I clicked with in 3 years because he got really weird and started begging me to have sex with him and shit. Sucks like hell having to crush the guy, because he was totally in love with me, but it feels great too that I stood up for myself. | ||

You do have to stand up for yourself though. + Show Spoiler + I'm being yelled at. Supposed to live on my own. Mom is insecure that she has no job and does household work. This all started because earlier today I went to see my dad about some employment insurance things. I wasn't sure which ones to get. Then I kept getting yelled at because I was slow to book a dental appointment. I didn't think I was that stressed, so I went to pick up a slice of pizza, then she started saying something again and I just lost it. I kicked a plastic stool with my left foot without realizing what I'd done and it flew across the living room, but didn't hit anyone or break. She's been yelling ever since. I also have to investigate a bank account incident on my account(2x 200$ transactions) and to book that dental appointment. This shouldn't be as stressful as it probably is for me. I don't think anything will come from this, but I just hated living as a child and listening to her. Thoughts of suicide came to me every day. I don't want to live with her either but I'm on my coop. If I live on my own I won't make much after covering rent and food. This isn't an incident of me just kicking a stool. I feel these are insecurities that developed over a long period of time. Some have already surfaced and some are still surfacing. TL;DR Parent Child Arguments among an Asian family during my coop year. | ||
