[Greiger]

Was running a dungeon on an MMO.  Windows came up with a message saying that it WILL update in 30 minutes.  Basically wether I like it or not.  I closed the window and it came up again saying I have 5 minutes left.
I hit ctrl alt delete went to services and stopped the windows update service.   Your move windows.

Makes me angry though that something I own is presuming to tell me when I am going to restart the computer instead of the other way around.  If I was an average user and didn't know how to tell windows to sit down and shut up, I would have been even more pissed than I am now.

I'm really just wanting a way to learn both sides without glaring bias.

I get told creationism is right all the time, I at least want to be able to learn what evolution is without having to supplement it with online sources on my own time.

Not all sides are created equal. And on this subject, the sides presented are very, very unequal indeed.

This is why you disable auto-installation of updates, greiger. It can check for updates all it wants on here, but they aren't happening until I decide.

Words cannot describe how annoyed I am right now. Instead I'm going to eat something and see if that helps.

For anger you generally want something that won't make you sick, but that you can eat a lot of.

Popcorn? Popcorn is great at being edible in huge amounts, since it has pretty much no anything content.

Yeah, perfect!

[MadMalkavian]

Don't have popcorn and I eat a lot as it is because of other reasons.

I'd recommend fruit, but a lot of fruit gives you the shits.

Like Grapes.

Personally, I recommend raw crunchy vegetables. Carrots and lettuce both work well.

[MadMalkavian]

Body rejects most forms of raw plant matter due to a hypersensitive gag reflex caused by my having both Tourette's Syndrome and Asperger's. Besides, the pizza is done and I'm starting to figure out how to phrase why I am annoyed.

It's Friday night and I have nothing to do. Sure, it's like this every Friday night but I've got the urge to go out and do something or perhaps play video games with someone. Yet neither are doable because no one wants to play games with me and the only things to do where I live on a Friday night are party, get laid, get high, steal a bike or stab someone to death. Don't have the money to do anything anyways, which presents another problem I am annoyed with, one I will get into another time. All I know right now is I'm tempted to whore myself out on /soc/ and risk getting doxed just to have some kind of fun tonight.

[MadMalkavian]

I've never, in all my days, heard of someone who cannot eat plant matter due to Asperger's and/or Tourette's. Not saying it isn't true, it's just... I can't see how, barring your tic being gagging.

I can eat processed plant matter but the texture of raw plant matter makes me gag and retch it up. So do other food-related textures. Got to eat specific things, wear specific things, touch specific things, all because of how textures affect me. I have a hard time wearing denim for example but I'm fine with cotton-polyester blends. Also have to wash my feet and hands religiously and brush my hair a certain way.

Don't get me started on light and sound. I'll say this now, I'm near-blind in bright sunlight and unable to distinguish sounds when there are perhaps more than one or two different kinds of noise in my environment. Hypersensitivity and sensory input problems are hell, especially when you live in an urban environment and thus the only time it's safe for your nervous system to go outside without fear of being overwhelmed is the same time the homeless are starting fires and both the crackheads and the gangbangers want your money.

I don't wonder why I'm a shut-in, but I kind of want that to change so I can maybe have some semblance of a social life. There just aren't the right opportunities for me to do that either because of money, sensory input or current social connection reasons. Damned if I do, damned if I don't, and pretty much unable to do so I'm damned either way.

[MadMalkavian]

That doesn't do me much good. I don't know any of you offline.

[SealyStar]

If it's a sensory issue, then Asperger's seems like a viable explanation (though while I am neither trying to offend nor a license psycholog-/chiatrist, your exact symptoms sound more like more-severe autism).

Tourette's doesn't really add any additional viability to the 'splanation, given that you never hinted at it being a tic sort of thing.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I have an inexplicable hatred of lettuce due to its texture, though I can force myself to eat it.
