So, Borat wasn't making this up for a joke.

I've started to feel the strong tug of asexuality.

Could be worse.

Welcome to the world of capitalism. Not a meritocracy, no! Merely looking to hire the chump who'll do the most work for the least pay.

Or maybe I'm confused, later on it seems like Nurgle is part of the bride's name.
They both have "Nazgul" in their name, guess it's common (probably due to the meaning mentioned above).

So possibly this was an excuse used during the soviet reformation times to appease parents.  IE, "I want to marry him" "No we must arrange marriage for you" *whisper whisper* "Oh noes I has been kidnapped, ancient law says we're married now".

But it's evolved back into something just as bad or worse as arranged marriages.

See, that's the kicker. That's the same response I've had from every interview, recruiter, or phone call so far. They'll ask me what I think I should be making for the role or what pay I think would be a fair pay, knowing I'm applying for entry-level jobs and having a few years' experience on campus. That's six or seven interviews or phone calls for entry level positions requiring at minimum one or three years of experience and they won't tell me what I'm worth or that I'm worth their time. They know I COULD shop around for a better job somewhere, but I don't know my worth or have professional experience, and since nobody is actually MAKING an offer, they and everyone else effectively have me by the balls. If I state a fair price or too much, easy to do given I don't know these things, they could shred my resume and ask the next naive college kid and underpay him instead.

I'm a little bitter already.
Wow, that sounds like playing The Price Is Right with your salary.  Which is awful, purely a tactic to encourage applicants to underbid themselves and accept an artificially low salary.  Makes sense, but despicable.  For what that's worth.

I've never thought of asexuality rather than a lack of tug.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Trying to sleep. Trying. Every single time I'm about to fall asleep, my parents start talking or start making noise. They aren't shouting or anything, just talking normally, but they may as well be screaming in my ear. How is it possible for people to talk normally this loud? Why can't they go to sleep already? I know one is a useless sack of shit, but the other has a job, same as I do.

Have you tried asking them to stop talking?

From what I've heard of Akura's parents, I doubt that asking them would be a good idea.

Given that I live in a situation where any complaint at what they do is met with extreme hostility by my stepdad(aka useless sack of shit)? Not likely going to happen.
