Something that gets me mad? The very concept of unsliced bread. Why does anyone bother buying it? There's a reason the phrase "Best thing since sliced bread" was penned. I really never got that. Same thing with unsliced hard rolls and bagels; does anyone ever actually eat those things without cutting them in half first?

You know when people kidnap relatives from cults and de-brainwash then? That, just.. That. Unless he is right and she is just attention seeking, then... slap the stupid out of her. The second video was... asking for it. I didn't watch the second video, I don't think I got half-way through this one. I did my best to watch it through, but I had to stop at her second video: "I broke up with my boyfriend, because he didn't hit me hard enough..." I mean, unless it's a BDSM thing with very bad comunication, that's just a sign of a attention seeking narcecist, throwing poor girls under the bus, who believe her nonsense. @ mrgbh I don't eat that much bread, but I think it stays fresh for longer? And you can always use a bread slicer ;-)

Germans eat so much bread, even if I don't, for me, those things are totally normal ^^"

Language barrier.. We do that to, it's just something I don't even think about. You go into the bakery, choose one of the dozent types of bread they have, or the different types of hard rolls. You get ask if you want the bread sliced, for the hard rolls, unless you get one that already has a toping, it's not cut in half.

I love slicing bread myself. I've got quite good at it over the the years. I prefer sliced bread when I'm in a hurry, but there's a certain... freshness to bread that's just been sliced. To me, it just tastes better. Edit to add: DraconRa, I LOVE German bread

Playing the newest Harvest Moon game. Oh, finally a love interest that looks older than 16... But why the fuck did they make him a creep with Chedward vibes? OK, the EU Dialogue is a bit better, but still. Having more dialog options that make my character less innocent and pure (vomits) would help. I am 38, I love sexual innuendo, hence my undying love for the Iron Bull, being able to play the character more like, well me, would make it 100 times better. I do love having an adult love interest with sexual desires, but did they have to make him this creepy? Not that the other options are much better: well, that one looks at least like he's in his twenties, so maybe …. Did he just make a homophobic remark? Oh fuck you people! (Note that I still love the game.) fogu.com/sos1/villagers/marriage/klaus.php

This whole "political correctness" movement needs to go die in the hole it crawled out of. -_-

It's gone far beyond whatever original intentions it might have had. It has gotten to the point where the people supporting it no longer care about stereotypes, they want to bury any point they don't agree with, no matter how minimal of an impact it might have on any given discussion.

There's a very fine line between being politically incorrect and being offensive.It's ok to make jokes, as long as it doesn't stray into casual racism. Which can be harder than you'd think.
And I have no problem with Tumblr. It's no better nor worse than any other form of social media.

Okay, this might be a bit of a long one, so sorry about that.
One of my mom's friends has had no end of trouble with her sixteen-year-old lately. I mean, the kid's always had problems, but in the last few months it has completely exploded. The kid's been doing pot, coke, heroin and who knows what else. She's also been drinking, a lot. There's also been no end to the lies, abuse and manipulation. She's told everyone she knows she's pregnant multiple times, tells her mother constantly that she needs to "fuck off and fucking die". Granted, her mom isn't exactly a top-notch parent (I swear she cares more about her foster dogs than she does for any human), but she's far from abusive, as this girl keeps claiming. The woman also has less backbone than a freaking jellyfish, she has a history of giving in and forgetting to punish her daughter if she promises to do one chore or another, or if all she does is whine about being tired or something. This girl is also known for being more than a bit of a slut, but I never held that against her until she started up with all this other shit.
Things started getting even worse when she started seeing her latest boyfriend, who's about as big a piece of garbage as a human can get. He's a drug dealer, a thief, a liar, a manipulator, a mix of pretty much every kind of scum there is. He's the reason she flew off the handle and continues to be the most negative influence in her life to date. Since she met him, she's run away from home numerous times, texting her mother the most disgusting things, including the "fuck off and die" comments I mentioned earlier. There have also been instances where he's snuck into her house while her mother isn't home, saying things like "You can't keep me from my girl." "She's mine and you can't change that.", you get the idea. I have wanted to mutilate his sorry ass ever since I first learned about him, but he's the type to throw down the victim card, and he's also a minor, which means I'd be the only one to get in trouble. Even with his constant in-and-out-of-juvie streak.
My mom had this girl arrested the last time she came to our house, which brings me to my next grievance about this whole situation. The laws regarding child runaways where I live are completely screwed up. This girl has been taken to rehab facilities numerous times by now, but despite the known fact she's a high flight risk and has a pick up order out on her, they refuse to admit her as an inpatient. Apparently, doing all this crap, running away every time she's admitted as an outpatient, being caught on video breaking into cars and doing any number of hard drugs as a fucking minor isn't enough for them to put her where she can't fuck herself and everyone around her over anymore. I don't know what they think they're going to do by continuing this pattern; she was taken back again tonight and she's probably already vanished again.
I am getting really, really close to going out and finding her myself, beating her pathetic ass to within an inch of her life and ripping off her boyfriend's dick and shoving it down his throat, or up his ass, whichever I feel like doing at the time. I also may or may not tear his head off as well, haven't decided yet. It's obvious the state is never going to be able to solve the problem, she's just way too fucking stupid and their rules are just way too fucking useless.
Edit: Yep, she's vanished again, but this time her mom says she's done. We'll see how long that lasts...
Second edit: So, she's now in jail (and her mom wants to bail her out. Really bad idea!) and her boyfriend tried taking the coward's way out and hanging himself. As far as I know he's still on a ventilator. I'm hoping he either goes quietly, or if he does wake up, he realizes what a pathetic piece of shit he's been his whole life and finally grows up.

Shit, I hate this... why can't I get depressed in winter, like normal people?
But no, instead, I get intensely lonely, as soon as spring starts and the hormones kick in.
Other people get horny. Horny would be great, getting laid is easy.
But this longing for a partner? To be loved? Like that'll ever happen... fuck this shit.
Well, at least I can say the teary, swollen eyes are from hay fever... hurray...
