I fucking hate Summoner's Rift. The game most is honestly the worst designed "traditional mode" for a MOBA in the entire genre. The game is incredibly slow, so the laning/CS farming phase takes an incredibly long time. It takes forever and a day to get to any fucking part of the map. The game itself takes for fucking ever, and the majority of it isn't even action; LoL is designed so that the slightest mistakes are punishable and turn into vicious snowballing, which in turn forces players to be defensive and boring. Worst of all, it's fucking impossible to do anything once your opponents have snowballed. Yea, getting a lead should allow you to win, but go even two kills down on your laning opponent, and suddenly they can completely zone you out of farming any CS, which in turn means you can never get money and thus never buy items, and then you can never do any actual damage to opposing champions.

Compare this to Dominion, which requires just as much strategy (albeit very different), has exponentially more action and doesn't allow for obnoxious snowballing; it's entirely possible for a team to actually come back and win, which is almost impossible in SR.

I fucking hate this mode with the fiery passion of one thousand suns, and it irks me when people talk about it like it's the shit. Watch a fucking pro stream. NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENS. There are like 15 kills total in the average game, and it usually takes around 45 minutes. God damn, that's a boring fucking game. It blows my mind that it is such a popular game.
A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.

The worst thing about being rejected from all those colleges you wished you could have attended isn't that feeling of rejection, of being "not good enough," of being unwanted.

The worst thing about rejection isn't the moment when you click the link and watch as, in the milliseconds it takes for your brain to process the fact, all the wishes and hopeful thoughts and wild naive dreams crumble one after the other.

It's also not the mixed feelings you have, caught between "I should have worked harder...I didn't put in enough" and "I feel like the work I did put in went to waste--I should have enjoyed life more, should have spent more time with friends."

It's not watching all of your friends getting into their dream schools, whether it's a small liberal arts college, a nearby public school, or one of the best universities in the world. That is, it's not watching as your hyper-qualified, highly deserving friends get into HSYPMCWXYandZ and God knows where else, as they continue on their path to happiness and personal fulfillment; nor is it watching a friend get into a dream school of his or hers and brighten up with pure, unadulterated joy, even though you're actually disappointed that it was "all" you got. That sucks, but it's not the worst.

For that matter, it's also not watching the liars, cheaters, and people who have evidently bullshat their way through life do fantastically with admissions. Not to mention all the people you maybe just don't really like, but can't actually admit to not liking. I know, I really do know: "It's just life, shit happens," but it still hurts, dammit.

Nope, not the feeling that you've let all your family and all the mentor figures you've ever had down. Truth be told, your parents have been really nice to you and they've been really supportive through it all. Maybe you've been a bit too hostile and mean toward them lately. Alright, for the past few years. Yeah, that just makes it worse. But no, that's not the worst part.

No, it's not comparing yourself with others and immediately regretting it, even though you tell all your friends not to do so and that college is just a crapshoot anyway so they shouldn't worry.

And no, it's not the guilt when you attempt to be humble (even though your ass has been humbled enough already, thank you very much), knowing that you're already being an arrogant asshole merely in making that comparison, in even having the thought, "man I feel like I was...BETTER, but I did only as well or worse," in having the audacity just to think for ONE MOMENT about using scores or stats or activities to draw meaningless comparisons.

It's not even that godawful feeling of knowing that you're actually so much luckier and better off than many others, and that you didn't use all the opportunities you've had in life just by virtue of being born the way you are and into your family. It's also not that horrible, horrible feeling of knowing that, even now, you're actually VERY well off, yet you somehow can't get over your fucking useless self and stop whining long enough to be grateful.

No.

The worst part is knowing that you can't tell anybody, for all of those reasons. You're alone, period, end, full stop, get-the-hell-off-of-my-lawn-you-stupid-teenager. Somewhere, somebody is going through something similar to what you are, but for now, as far as you can tell, you're alone. Or at least that's how it feels.

You can't celebrate with others because your own standards are so fucking high (and because, well, you got rejected from most everywhere). You can't relate to those who truly have it bad, who can't afford college or suffer daily abuse or are struggling just to make ends meet. You can't talk about it with your peers because they're fine, you can't talk about it with those who are older and more experienced because they can't stand your whining ass, you can't talk about it with those who are younger than you because they can't truly empathize. You try to talk anyway, but you FUCK UP, just end up pissing everybody off...you seriously try their patience, maybe even burn bridges (but you earnestly hope you managed to hobble out of the conversation before then). Perhaps it's who you are. A fuck-up. At least that's how you feel at the moment.


No, all you can do is be is you. Poor, humbled, arrogant, manic, depressive, hopeful, disappointed, disappointing, lazy, stupid, useless, inadequate...you. You, the perfectionist. You, the failure. You, the loser.


Well, me.

I can't relate to your specific situation, but I can relate to not being able to celebrate with others, and not having anyone who can relate to me. I've had to watch people I started university graduate, while I'm still years away from finishing due to my situation. I've burned bridges, even though I've conciously tried to prevent myself from doing so. It fucking sucks.

All you can do is keep working at it.

My health is good. Young, good fitness, decent diet etc. Its probably something mental. Not necessarily that I'm putting something off, but more like I feel not accomplished in life. So maybe there is some kind of anxiety coming from that, idk

I feel so lost when it comes to what exactly I want to do with my life, yet I don't really have any current problems if that makes any sense. I'm done college, got a job in the field that I don't mind doing and am financially well off now, but if someone asks me where I want to be, what I want to be doing 10 years from now I would have absolutely no idea what to say.

The past 8-10 years were probably the hardest part of what my life will be and I'm relieved that I'm in a position of low-stress now, but I feel like there's something more I could/should be doing and I don't know what that is. It's depressing in that regard.

Right now I basically feel like I work a regular work week and proceed to go home and play SC2 for the rest of the evening. It's fun and all, but it just adds to the feeling of wasting my time/life that I get. I mean truthfully if I could just play SC2 for the rest of my life and make a living off it I would consider it as I enjoy it so much, but that's not a reality.

I dunno. tick.. tick... tick...

Yes. That sums it up pretty well. Job? Check. University done? Check. Girlfriend? Check. Live on your own? Check.

Plans and visions for the future? ...

I wish i could even say something remosely close to pending, but when i try to think about it, its just pretty empty inside my head. I dont think it will change thou, so i live from day to day, week after week, finally wondering where the month went.

I guess The Simpsons were right. "Life's A Glitch, Then You Die".
There's a fine line between bravery and stupidity.

I'm so fucking pissed about people that make stupid fucking decisions because of shit they read on the internet. Two of my friends on facebook have lately announced that they no longer aren't going to take any medication and are not going to have their future children vaccinated because ALL PHARMACEUTICAL DRUGS ARE BAD. What they, and many other fucking idiots for that matter, believe is that the drug industry is in the control of the "sionist elite" (I don't even know what that fucking means or what jewish nationalism has to do with drug companies) and that drug companies or doctors don't care at all what they put in capsules, they just want your money. Fucking PBU dipshits that have no idea of what the scientific method even means or how science is done are claiming in articles and blogs around the internet that medicine hasn't advanced since the time of Alexander Fleming and that cancer would have been cured already if the drug companies would want it to be cured. FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES, YOU HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.

Now I finally understand why Penn is always so pissed in "Bullshit", stupid people make me fucking mad too. Bored, uneducated but unfortunately very fucking opinionated people around the internet are making people believe that medicine is a big conspiracy to get your money, nothing more. WHY DON'T YOU GET A REAL FUCKING JOB AND READ A SCIENCE FICTION BOOK SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO COME UP WITH STUPID FUCKING SHIT LIKE THIS.The funny part about these people is that a lot of them are making huge profits selling their own "natural products" or hocuspocus methods of fucking let's-dilute-this-thing-in-water-so-that-there-is-nothing-else-than-water-left to the people that choose to believe in their bullshit. Never mind all the fucking diseases medicine has cured, never mind the amazing advancements of surgery and the huge increase of life expectancy at least in developed countries. "Medicine hasn't advanced since Alexander Fleming", fuck you.

This is a real problem with the internet, it brings stupid people from all over the world closer together. And when there's a lot of collective stupidity... well nothing good ever comes out of that, only more stupidity. The people claiming that all of us that use medicinal products are blind and can't see the truth should fucking look at the facts objectively, even once. They should stop listening to each other on the fucking internet and stop taking some dipshit wannabe-doctors' word for a fact when they say things like "You should eat a green leaves because they will photosyntesize oxygen into your body when you digest them. THERE ISN'T ANY SUNLIGHT IN THE HUMAN BOWL GILLIAN MCKEITH YOU FUCKING FRAUD IDIOT PIECE OF SHIT.

I'm shocked and appalled by the fact that people I know make decisions regarding the vaccination of their children on a scientific base this solid. If enough people abstain from vaccinating their children, it's gonna pose a threat to all kids. So by extension, these people are threatening my future children, and I'm not gonna have that. I hope they fucking stay in the margins or my voice will be fucking heard somewhere else than the rant-thread on TL.

This is a long ass rant but it's been a long time coming. Fuck all of you PBU assholes, fuck your parents for not raising you better and fuck all your followers. Fuck all of you STUPID motherfuckers.
