Damn, these government agencies/departments sure love creating paper waste.
They send letters, give you forms to fill out, print out agreements and such all over again every time there's a tiny change... and all on this crisp, white, non-recycled-looking paper. This is why I liked having all such correspondence on my phone, but then of course it had to go and break.
Sorry trees.

[Tiruin]

Okay so it's simple insanity. Issue solved. Is Objective still super depressed?

This...

I'm not even talking to you.

The reason for the separate account is that I found out that my parents track the other account.

Cript, don't be a jerk.

@4mask//other people in similar sads: Wishing y'all well from here.

Edit: @Truean: Err, random thought but...can't you go into personal business? o-o If...it was business I'm remembering you going into.

Seems most of my confidence in doing the math exam tommorow well has evaporated overnight. Additionally I'll be doing the rest of the stuff that was left alone, which will make it doubly frustrating. Also it's a national holiday or whatever today, which means the caffeteria isn't working so I have to go and buy some food to make something to eat, which is also annoying since it's going to take atleast an hour, if not more.

Revising for life orientation is making me want to drive my face through my desk, and then my hand through my face. It's half lies, and the other half is biased.

[Frumple]

... what's life orientation, if you don't mind answering?

What, you think you just get to sit around in the womb waiting to be born nowadays?

If you have time, do what I did for my GCSE R.E test. Write a scathing diatribe of the entire system being written and taught from a predominantly Christian perspective (to the point that some of the questions were phrased with implicit assumptions that their is a 'God' 0_o), and then cross it out with a thin line in pencil. Technically, they can't mark it. But it's there, they'll read it.

Little victories my friend, little victories.

It's an attempt at that "How to adult" class Americans all seem to want to be a thing, plus a lot of 'Drugs are bad, m'kay?' and physical education. The trouble is, it was designed by idiots and 90% of the teachers are idiots, plus they like to add their own personal bias. My current teacher is a flaming idiot, so course material on, for example, nutrition, involves:
a) fried foods are the devil
b) Doctrine of Signatures
c) You are fat. You must lose weight.

It's terrible, but it does have some useful stuff about job applications and such.

PPE: I am a Christian, and I rage at the stuff they do like that.
Actual edit: Like, the Bible is not a healthy eating guide. Do not claim it is.

How many calorie is a Bible anyways? I guess paper wouldn't be very nutritional and inks would be carcinogen, but still...

Burn it in controlled environment, measure the heat.

[DJ]

I guess a really old copy would be edible, since parchment was made from sheepskin.

[Frumple]

Probably shouldn't be burning those, though, even for experimentation/measurement purposes. Old books should be preserved, et al. Just have a new sheepskin bible made and burn that. I can see the headline, even, "Modern holy prophylactic answers ancient question: What is the calorie content of the Bible? MORE ON PAGE 5"

[hops]

We should measure the calorie content of everything.

Totally not an excuse to burn stuff nope.

[LordSlowpoke]

twenty objectives on the wall

* LordSlowpoke takes down one objective

take one down, set it ablaze (for science)

* LordSlowpoke turns on the burner

* LordSlowpoke sets the burner on the wall and walks out with the objective in hand

the calorie measurement was a DISTRACTION

[GiglameshDespair]

I never said anything about telling people to kill themselves.

You didn't tell us to kill ourselves, but you still told us to die because you feel miserable. For all this stuff about how everyone will be miserable, all this stuff about third-worlders starving and suffering.. what have you done about it? Don't tell me nothing can be done, because it can. We can find joy on our own or with others

There is nothing to be gained in making yourself happy.

That's silly. You gain happiness in making yourself happy, which is a good thing. People like being happy, you included. If happiness wasn't, why would you try to make others happy?

In sum: you can make melodramatic statements about how life is purposeless and all is suffering, but that's shit. You can find your own purpose. Whining about how mankind should die out - well, that affects me too, and everyone i know, so maybe I take it a little personal. But if I ever wanted to cut my own throat or whatever I wouldn't want everyone else to die as well, because other people find joy in themselves or each other, and I recognise that.
