Struggle Thread mk II - No one likes us, we don't care

[Madrun Badrun]

Like somedays I get up and I'm just depressed I can't go out and murder a peoples anymore #whitepeopleproblems

[Kara]

It was the "I just got up" smoke for me.

It'll suck pretty bad but afterwards you'll be able to enjoy it / use it as a PED again.

Went and bought a full tabacco filter cig at the unit for now. Having to go at the tobacconist for every round of drugs may help me limiting myself.

It does. I only go to ones on certain routes I take on certain days of the week.

[Take My Breh Away]

Just got out of the Hospital to fix the deviated septum I apparently had since a child. They took out my nasal splints after I thought they were going to wait a week and I was still hurting from post-op. It hurt like a motherfucker because they were fucking huge ones.

Now my nose is swollen and blacked up. Black crumbs of dried blood for the next three days and bland food. And worst of all. No Hot Coffee

 

[Rufus]

If you're lucky you'll pull out a huge gob of coagulated blood. Post it to r/popping.

[Kara]

And worst of all. No Hot Coffee

 

Grand Theft Auto San Andreas is 11 years old now, breh. It's time to branch out.

You had splints? My nasal cavities were packed with gauze, I saw no splints when they removed them. Maybe they forgot them in there? 

[brawndolicious]

Does it change the appearance or just help with breathing? I'm supposed to get a septuloplasty in the next few months.

[Take My Breh Away]

Does it change the appearance or just help with breathing? I'm supposed to get a septuloplasty in the next few months.

Doesn't change the appearance. Mine was to help with breathing due to a deviated septum starting to block an airway and producing more mucus that would block it further. It swelled up for a little and started to ease back down to day.

Shouldn't be too worried, really. It's the bleeding and past the first night that's the rough part.

[Madrun Badrun]

You'll always have the memory though

[benjipwns]

Right by the expressway in Joliet, Missouri there's a big factory with "F.A.G. Ball Bearings" in huge letters on the side of it for the American branch of the German company F.A.G.

You shared this in my thread about F.A.G.

[benjipwns]

Can enough be said about F.A.G.?

[Madrun Badrun]

Ah yes the Film Actors Guild factory, where stars are made. 

[I'm a Puppy!]

This was supposed to be great, relaxing weekend. Instead the wife and I have had to spend most of it defending the fact discriminating against children based on what their parents do is wrong. And that compassionate people should know better and if they don't then perhaps they really aren't compassionate.
Thanks LDS church!

[Shadow Mod]

Wait what this spurned on by the gay couples thing, because the idea that they're "wrong" too is just . But whatever I don't follow a religion so I don't have to deal with that "this sin is the worst" cherry picking crap.

[I'm a Puppy!]

This was brought on by the church's new policy of excluding children of gay parents to be baptized (and thereby interact in any meaningful way) into the church.
And also putting being married to someone of the same sex on the hard list of apostasy which in essence makes worse than rape, sexual abuse, and in cases, murder.

LDS priorities every bit as screwed up as they've ever been. Sorry, Puppy. It's nice that your brethren get to be judgmental and all, so they can just ignore that part of the "only God can judge" thing. I'm godless and free to judge though, so congratulations to all of LDS on following a religion created by a known con artist who convinced followers that he had magic glasses. Mormons at least beat Scientologists to the punch by more than a century; the early bird gets dibs on the magic underwear, I guess.

My family was not religious, but both of my father's two younger brothers adopted Mormonism, and managed to really sour me on the whole charade.

Be a Mormon brehs.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Isn't SLC considered one of the gayest cities in America?  As in it is right up there with San Francisco.

[I'm a Puppy!]

Yes it is, which is what makes this even more perplexing.

[Human Snorenado]

Puppy, are y'all practicing Mormons or just have a lot of family? I forget.

[I'm a Puppy!]

We haven't practiced since prop 8. But my wife's family is MORMON way way mormon. Mine less so but they're still mormon too.

[Human Snorenado]

Bummer, man. It's rough when your families are majorly invested in things that you find objectionable on that level. 

[Kara]

Forbidding the baptism of children because of their parents is ridiculous. Good on ya for sticking up for them, Ron.

[brawndolicious]

I have some TVC-lite intestinal issues where everything that came out of my butt in the last 12 hours has been either incredibly constipated or like diarrhea oily discharges with lots of flatulence. It started after I woke up from a dinner of hot dogs and whiskey. Oh well hopefully it clears itself up.

[bluemax]

Puppy, I've been reading the Mormon thread over on GAF. Sounds like the older of my two younger brothers is having his "go away from the church" crisis. I'm betting as soon as he is able to move out of my parents house he will go full on ditch the church mode.

Meanwhile my youngest brother got engaged to some girl he met through church activities and has known less than a year. And she currently lives in a completely different state (while finishing her degree). She tagged my bro in a post on FB saying how excited she was to get to marry her best friend. It seems weird to me that she considers someone she's known less than a year to be her best friend. I guess I'm just feel weird because my last long term relationship I lived with the girl for like 2 years, survived being temporarily homeless, survived a 17 hour car trip and yet still ended up having it not work out and he's marry a girl he doesn't even see daily.

I also had to tell him that if I do manage to make it up for the wedding I can't go to the actual wedding because I'm totally not temple eligible at this time (nor will I likely ever be again).

[Rufus]

God's love, full-on conditional.

[Kara]

If your brother's marriage ever went south his soon to be waifu wouldn't talk to him again (barring kid crap) while you and your ex have had a post-relationship relationship because you had something more substantial. God hates us all.

[brawndolicious]

I grew up in a super religious Muslim community and no one from there is open about not being religious or being not hetero (to my knowledge). Even talking to people who are like fourth-hand acquaintances, they are very surprised when I say something that sounds atheisty but I've learned from that that there's no gentle way to broach the subject of issues in organized religion.

Also never ever argue religion with anyone who is devoutly religious or irreligious unless you can quote the scripture you need for your argument. And I assume in Mormonism like other religions, there's a whole hierarchy in contradictory scriptures/interpretations.

I'd say something about "LOLZ < 1 year" but honestly I've met too many indians that have great marriages that met their spouse a week before they got married (of course they were arranged) to each their own I guess.

But it does suck about not being able to attend the wedding. Remember, the church is doing it because they love you and want you to be close to your family.

[Madrun Badrun]

Got my first super like and I accidentally didn't like back because I didn't know how that shit works.    She was hot too.

[Kara]

I voluntarily excuse myself from attending as many religious events as possible and it's not too bad. As long as you bring a thoughtful gift to the after-event no one gives you shit for missing the religious bit and you can be there for whomever you care about without being made to feel by sitting in on a religious ceremony.

It is nice having someone to talk USC football with!

Ha, yeah I remember back in HS a friend of mine's dad got remarried and her friends didn't understand why they couldn't go to the wedding and apparently his new wife's family had a lot of issues with it. My brother was fine when I told him I couldn't go the wedding, he just wanted me to be up there for the reception and to meet his bride. If I was someone with more work stability I'd have booked a plane ticket but right now I can't commit to something multiple months out.

[I'm a Puppy!]

It's sorta sad that for an organization so focused on keeping families together, I've seen the church tear families apart more than keep them together.

[Phoenix Dark]

Glad I don't have to deal with religion anymore. I've also somehow avoided awkward conversations on my newfound apathy, or agnosticism or whatever you want to call it. I know plenty of people who would look down on me if they knew I wasn't religious anymore; not my friends, but moreso family friends (ie my parents' peers and friends, and some family members). Really the only time the subject is breached is when I run into one of my mom's female friends who wants me to meet her "god fearing, good cook" daughter. Nah I'm good. 

[Madrun Badrun]

God fearing girls need to shop at the dollar store too, if you know what I mean PD

[Phoenix Dark]

Yea, Dollar Store Girl is probably the antithesis of everything my mom loves. She's basically Triumph without the beard.

[Madrun Badrun]

I read that as Trump

[Human Snorenado]

This explains much 

[Kara]

So you really didn't want to meet her fam because you were afraid that then you'd have to reciprocate and your fam would give you grief. I knew there was more to this sitch.

[Phoenix Dark]

Yea, that and my genuine distaste for responsibility/real relationships. But I feel better about the relationship now so who knows.

Two of my brothers are dating right now, and my mom doesn't like either of their girlfriends. Both of those particular chicks are more successful than my ladyfriend. At the end of the day my ladyfriend is pursuing school/a career so I don't see why anyone would look down on her...but I know my mom would. Mix in her crass sense of humor, drinking regimen, distaste for religion, music taste or lack thereof, etc...yea 

 

[Kara]

I once caught grief for dating a rich white girl. That's literally the lottery! Successful parents can get too caught up in the successful thing and forget about the whole being happy thing.

Gonna enjoy ending this bloodline of mine.

[Rufus]

Local demographics.

[Rufus]

Hm, scratch that then.

[Cerveza mas fina]

I dated a rich girl once, well blue blood

Shit was cray

Her mom cooked me food when I stayed over and stuff and talked to me as her bf, even though she already had a bf for years.

Now she is married to that guy 

This is not a struggle btw but a weird memory

[Bebpo]

That weird feeling when you wake up at 6:30pm on your day off after being overworked and busy for the last couple of weeks...

I guess I'll have some breakfast.

[Kara]

I bought a bottle of Yellow Tail Shiraz and some cans of Guinness Nitro IPA to fuel the creation of Bore original content.

I also bought a bottle of good beer (that cost more than the Shiraz ) and the the cashier gave me the "one of these is not like the others" look.

[Samson Manhug]

I would drink a nitro IPA (on draught.) I love trying non-stouts on nitro.

[Kara]

I'm banking on it translating poorly to a can.
