Borg, I want you to be caught up with Blue. I just finished season two's finale and I want to talk about it .

Hopefully this weekend we'll have a BLUE marathon!!!

... I'm hoping she gets together with that guy from the first season. The one that helps her kid with homework.

I wish there were psychics on JUB.

I just Knew you were going to wish that.

Just watched the pilot and I loved it! Has a lot going on, but it seems to have a really interesting storyline.

I know! Im really interested in it. I love a good mystery. I can't wait to see what happens tonight.

 

[FuryOfFirestorm]

Tbh, sometimes I never understood why he let people get under his skin so easily, he took things really personal at all times. It made me stressed out. Like, I just knew he would never let any disagreement pass him by, he had to go off on that person. It made me wonder how exhausting it must be.

But I always enjoyed his posts on political issues/American politics. He seemed really well-informed and on top of current events.

I hope GC comes back too. I like his posts a lot, especially since he's not afraid to call people out on their bullshit. Dude needs to grow a thicker skin though - he'd take offense at the smallest thing and go off on a huge rant. On the plus side, he didn't resort to personal attacks or childish name calling. Hopefully he'll spend his sabbatical learning to relax and not let every little thing get to him.

I'd never say he's a bad person... but an exceptionally annoying internet personality.

knowing when to pick your battles and cut your losses when you're arguing against someone in a circle who's never going to agree with you is a sign of maturity, not weakness.

To be fair, I had to slog though lots of trolls and assholes on the internet over the years to learn the fine art of quitting while I'm ahead, as well as the wisdom to know that I shouldn't feed the trolls.

that is NOT true. dude used to send me pm's and post comments doing that shit. that dude needs to take a long break and learn how to work with others instead of trying to go toe to toe to them over every little thing. there were some good aspects to him but he used to let his negative side outshine those aspects of him. it was sad.

Rant time.

Back in January, I met this guy online (I'll call him Wilson.). He had a hot body, but said in his profile that he only dates blondes with blue eyes, and that green eyes were interesting to him. Those of you who've seen me know that I'm brown/brown. But he approached me, so I figured, why not. Exchanged phone numbers and went from there.

Anyway, I told him that I wouldn't mind meeting him, but that it would have to be in public since we don't have mutual friends. After that, he invited me over to his place and I said no. End of story for a couple weeks.

Valentines day rolls around, and I get a text from him asking if I wanted to hang out that night. I don't know why I did, but I said fuck it and agreed. I felt like shit the whole day (v-day, single, can't imagine why ), so I told him I was feeling like shit about the whole thing and he said that if I didn't want to hang out, he'd understand. I told him I'd sit on it a little bit more and let him know. Couple hours passed and I told him I couldn't and apologized.

Didn't hear anything from him until last night. I was drinking at a friend's celebrating my birthday with two straight couples I hadn't hung out with in forever. So when Wilson texted and wanted to fuck, I said no and told him I was with friends.

That's when it takes a turn for the "what the fuck!". Wilson proceeds to tell me in a series of texts that this was bullshit and that I didn't have any friends. Fuck you #1. I told him I didn't have any gay friends. He said that I can't be friends with straight people because they are just using me. Okay? Fuck you #2. I can pick my own friends. He was still adamant that I can only be friends with gays, so I told him to not act like he knows me. This is what he said "I don't know u man because u never want to hang out or do anything. what a shitty life u must have." Fuck you #3. I told him to just stop while he still had a chance at being friends and I told him that mine were in town because of my birthday. Yes I was trying to guilt him but I stopped giving a fuck when he started putting me down.

Anyway, he has texted me today but he's still being a total doucherocket about the whole thing and trying to say that I was the asshole for not ditching my friends to be with him or invite him to their place.

I tried guilting the shit out of him for the way he was acting, but his floppy asshole got in the way and dug himself a bigger hole. Pun intended? Yup.

That guy utilizes his freedom of speech to the fullest, that's for sure. He'd be stepping over the line if he were slinging insults or personal attacks through post comments/personal messages...but what he mostly posted in the forums were fair game (from what I've read). One caveat: I hate people who have to "win" every single argument.

Good thing you never met up with him. Sounds like he's not worth your time. If he thinks he can guilt you into meeting up with him or that insulting you gets you closer to him, he's about as clueless as one can get. I say drop him.

 

[refujiunderground]

Yeah Fury, you're way off on that.

From one bear to another, he made an unprompted (in the sense that I didn't go there) attack on my weight/appearance once, which is about as personal/petty as you can get.

exactly, dude was a REAL asshole which is why i'm surprised there's people actually having sympathy for him. it's hard to believe that he was that he actually friendly to others on here. he wasn't the innocent guy that certain folks were making him out to be at least to some of us that had to deal with his bullshit. he even did a good job of admitting it himself. he sure as hell could take shots and dish insults at someone over the smallest things through the private message and post comment options but he would play that victim card when someone would throw his own medicine back at him.

In some ways I live a rather limited life. (In other ways I don't know many other people who regularly ride Philadelphia public transportation at 4 AM.) But I don't think anyone else will instruct me as well, with examples, about reggaeton, which I inexplicably like.

Well, then amend my post to say "as far as I knew". I had no idea he was sending nasty posts to anyone. Hopefully when GC returns, he'll have learned not to do that.

 

[EuroSoccer]

I hate when people put you on ignore while being too chickenshit to explain their beef with you.

Names or it didn't happen

 

[refujiunderground]

Well, I just had a lesson in rage.

I was seething at this dumb bitch ahead of me in the self-checkout line who insisted on using ten coupons and holding up the line, even though the scanner wasn't accepting them.

But I finally snuck over to an express line (I was over the limit, but what the hell - I checkout way faster than most), got my shit done in two minutes, and got the hell out. And as I was heading out, I saw the stubborn moron still standing there with a befuddled look, trying to get her coupons accepted.

I had a good laugh over it, which just reminded me that I need to laugh at idiots more often rather than letting them piss me off.

yo, i feel your pain, man. the same mess happened to me last wednesday at pathmark which is the only supermarket around here. the whole entire self checkout line, there were 4 of them, were backed up with people not fucking knowing how to scan items. goddamn, it's the easiest thing in the world but yet you had these folks taking 20 minutes to scan like 6 items. funny thing was when my brother and me went into the store to buy like 3 items and the checkout line was packed already. we took like 5 to 10 minutes to go around the store and get everything and the line was still packed. geez.

you know, i cannot imagine what would happen if people were allowed to pump their own gas over here. a lot of people in this state are ignorant as fuck about the simplest things yet they have an opinion on how someone should do something when they have no idea. when hurricane sandy came through and knocked the power out, it actually made people pull their heads out their asses and act right for a change. maybe we need another natural disaster to hit new jersey to make people act right again since people forgot about what life was like when sandy hit.

people who squat on a machine at the gym - they rest on the machine

better yet - people who talk on the phone at the gym while they hog a machine

another good one is taking up a cardio machine at the gym - and going uber slow - as in you're not really getting a work out and you're on too long

sense a pattern ?

 

[FuryOfFirestorm]

Self-checkouts are a pain because the damn machines never seem to work right. I'll scan something, and the machine will tell me to put in the bag so it can weigh it. So I do that, and it doesn't register the item. So then I have to get an employee to come and authorize a do-over...ugh.

As for non-checkout lines, if there's someone behind me with just 2 or 3 items, I let them go ahead of me.

 

[bankside]

I feel like almost every line should be considered "express," with only 1-2 lines devoted to people buying a shitton of crap so the only people being punished are others like them.

I would be satisfied if the express lanes charged a dollar for every item over the limit. I don't care if the store keeps it or donates it to charity. I just want them to pay.

I refuse to use the self check out lines.
They cost people their jobs.
My (preferred) local supermarket went that
way and fuck all, 5 people disappeared from
the employee roster.
Prices did not go down, they kept pace with
other stores. The loss was the communication
and affinity between the cashier and the customer

Makes the experience quite like micro-wave meals
and masturbation. Okay in concept, but, often
inadequate for full satisfaction.

And yes, letting someone go ahead is a nice
thing, they appreciate it and you get that
warm spot for being nice just because.

Poor Loki, you sound as though you are forced to be a Costco...
or worse ... a WalMart denizen. That is A 'Heavy Cross' to bear.

(had to delete 2 originals for ethnic implications and age of kids issues)

Incidentally old boy...we had the store employees and they had their jobs
long before your 'technology' made things better and created more jobs of a
technical nature leading to increased costs of everything. lol/col
