Yeah I'm definitely considering it. Grr.

Okay. So there's this guy on Facebook that's in the same group as me. I don't like the stuff he posts, so I've blocked him. I no longer see the stuff he posts. This is a good thing.

I am unable to stop his messages from showing up in the group chat. This is a bad thing because literally all he ever, ever, ever talks about is gay sex. I don't have a problem with him being gay, that's his business. I do have a problem with him talking about it every time he comes online in excruciating detail, since I have no way to avoid it because of Facebook's crappy design. I'm asexual, and pretty much any explicit discussion of a sexual nature makes me uncomfortable, but guy-on-guy gets a stronger negative reaction than most things. I've asked him to tone down the explicitness, but his response basically comes down to 'you blocked me, why should I listen to you?' And then goes right back to talking about, for example, his holiday plans involving being a gay furry couple's bitch next month. I wish I was making this up. He also appears to unequivocally hate all girls, real or fictional, and I'm afraid to ask why.

So yes, raging at this guy for being insensitive and disturbing me, and at Facebook for not letting me avoid him.

This rant is probably going to sound homophobic, in retrospect. To reiterate: I don't care that he's gay, I just want him to stop describing every aspect of his sex life in explicit detail in places where I can't avoid it.

You don't sound homophobic at all, he sounds like he really needs to tone things down or limit his discussion to people who actually want to hear that sort of thing.  Is it possible to talk to your other group members about the problem?

I'm trying to get in contact with a friend of his, who also happens to be a friend of mine, and ask him to ask the other guy to tone it down. He's a fairly empathic fellow (probably the wrong word), and I've talked to him about my feelings on matters like this before, so hopefully he should understand.

If I come out of this without self inflicted wounds I'll be surprised.

I lost it at number 7.

Number 8 is classic tho.

14. What is this? I don't even...

On the subject of OCD itself, I feel it's in the same vein as ADHD. Most of it is just people being people, and nothing to really panic about, or especially take drugs for.

Yea, that list clearly ran out of ideas after about number 6.

No. You are wrong. Go read up on OCD and you will understand why.

[kaijyuu]

ADHD for that matter, too. Lots of people treat it as a joke, but I'm not laughing when I'm sitting at my computer for 3 hours trying to finish a report but am physically unable to.


Everyone has the traits of these disorders to some degree, but the point where it crosses over from "normal" to "disorder" is when it becomes debilitating. When it becomes a barrier as real as any physical one.

I agree with both of you guys, but I'm pretty sure Lagslayer was talking more about the ADHD medicine commercials for 5 year olds who "Have trouble staying quiet" or the tons of people who think they have OCD because the don't like to leave spelling errors in their posts or like to have straight pencils.

Well, yeah, but that's the self-diagnosis crowd; they're morons no matter what disease they think they have.

Rain; rain everywh-

SUDDENLY, Ford F-250 Heavy Duty (massive!) pickup truck speeds by on a road of which he shouldn't be speeding, especially toward a red light, and soaks me to the bone on my way to work.

Fuck you, bro, fuck you.

Gosh, I could really scarf a few pistachios right now...

Urge to eat something = rising...!

In the (presumably) final jumping part of Psychonauts, the bit where you follow your father through the meat circus as he tries to murder you (gee thanks Dad) and the water rises. There is a broken, flaming vertical spiral of climbing net. I have died on this obstacle somewhere approaching sixty times now. What the fuck.

That game is awesome. That level is one of the worst ever conceived. Seriously, that's one of the crappiest levels in any game I've ever had the privilege of playing. It's a good thing that you at least get a decent cut-scene afterwards.
