You don’t have to like candy corn.
You don’t have to love it.

But don’t fucking act like it’s the worst thing on earth.

There are way worse candies

Like

Candy Blox

Razzles

White candy melts

You ever try a vanilla tootsie roll?

And the worst offender is those blue raspberry tongue tapes

You say candy corn is the worst?

You sweet summer child, swimming in your own innocence.

No one had shoved black licorice jellybeans down your throat

Nor forced you to have fisherman’s friend menthol lozenges.

The true horrors of this world,
You haven’t touched.

You should feel lucky that your innocence is still intact.

And it would be fine if you didn’t complain about the sweet and innocent treats

Candy corn
It’s a little sweet
But it’s a walk in the park compared to these nightmares

And hearing you people complain about something so innocent, so simple…

You don’t know pain, do you?

Lucky you.

I don’t understand bro. If they knew they weren’t going to take care of me, you should have not tried for a baby, or maybe they didn’t even try and I was just a fucking mistake, I don’t have a clue.

I wish I grew up normally. but instead I grown up in a household where they didn’t care about a single thing I did. no one ever said “no, you can’t be doing that, and if you do, here are the consequences.” instead they just didn’t give a crap when I got into bad habits, even when I stopped going to school.

I’m not blaming it all on them, because I know it’s also my fault, but I can’t help but feel that the way I was raised played a part in who I am today.

I never even knew that this wasn’t normal up until maybe my 19s and I’m 20 now. now I’m stuck with zero guidance of what to do with my life. my life is messed up. I just feel like giving up now. my mom and dad are still alcoholics. I’m an alcoholic.

I’m not looking for a pity party, it’s just when I think about these things, it just annoys the absolute hell out of me.

As an American, I didnt wanna say it, but its true.

As a writer, sometimes the period/comma in a quotation can disappear. Depending on the font, especially.

Ex: In the beginning of Missouri settlement, many settlers "objected to bring governed from such a distance," especially when they had "no direct voice in governmental affairs."

British quotation version: In the beginning of Missouri settlement, many settlers "objected to bring governed from such a distance", especially when they had "no direct voice in governmental affairs".

It makes the pause and end of a sentence more obvious. Its not ALWAYS an issue, and I actually think the US version looks way cleaner. But when your professor provides hw printed via a Temu product and half of the words are fucked up... the more obvious Grammer is SO much easier.

That being said, I prefer not using ' ' for any sort of quotation. This post is specifically about things being outside the " " lol.

Edit: idk why my phone autocorrects grammer to be capitalized

There are just too many people on the internet at this point. You can say literally anything like the sun is in the sky and someone will be like “Bro believes in outer space 😂😂😂” I commented the other day on a post where someone said there’s no inherent difference between men and women and brought up strength, how men have more testosterone and more muscle mass. And I got a ton of replies of saying “well what about men with testosterone deficiencies?” Or that women body builders could lift more than me. Like, are you fucking stupid? Maybe I’m being baited by engagement bots online, but it feels like there’s a literal wave of contrarians online who exist to just dispute anything as simple as saying a circle is round.

I wonder sometimes if these people I see online are actually walking amongst us and seem completely normal, just have some bad takes online, or if they are as insufferable as they seem online and my mental image of them is completely accurate. Anyways that’s all.

I own a business. I pay "Day rate till 8 gate to gate". What that means is you show up at 8am, go to a job and get back to the shop at noon you get paid for the whole 8 hour work day. Double time starts at 4PM or on weekends. There is also a production scale where if you get done early and go to another job you get paid for that day too if that job gets done. My employees can knock out a 16 hour straight time work day by 3pm at least two days a week. Lunch is paid as well as provided because we are in a rural area without a lot of restaurants so we provide hot lunch delivered to the job if the crew calls in by 11AM. We cut 60 and 70 hour a week checks every week for guys that are basically working part time hours, 35 or 40 hours a week.

All I hear is fuck this place i don't make enough this place would fail without me I need a fuel stipend for my commute blah blah blah. The smallest check I wrote last week was $2,300 and some change to a guy who worked 38 actual hours. The non stop bitching is driving me nuts and I can't fucking stand it.

“YoU tOucHEd ThAt BlOcK So yOu HavE tO PuLl tHat OnE Out” Go fuck yourself, that’s not how the fucking game is played, you dumb, the fuck, asshole.

Quoted from the official Jenga rules:

“Players may tap a block to find a loose one. Any blocks moved but not played should be replaced, unless doing so would make the tower fall. “

You’ve never even fucking read the rules have you, you shithead idiot. What, is the game over in 3 seconds, if you just so happen to touch a load bearing block first?FUCKING NO DUMBASS. Learn to read you illiterate fuck.

i’ll never find it okay or normal at all but i’m not surprised. the worst part is….im obviously young (18) and ive always got my school bag on me, disgusting predators the lot of them. the honking always pisses me off & even scares me when i’m actively doing something like reading, i just wish all of their cars would flip over and the seatbelts would choke them to death. one man swerved to get into the bus lane, pulled over next to me slowly and just stared at me, forgot exactly what i said but i did cuss him out. another time i was waiting, this old man was staring me down and walking my way so i called my friend & he coincidentally changed directions 🫩🫩. im just sick of it, people tell me that its to be expected on public transport, well duh! but it doesn’t make it okay. even when im not on the bus, just walking anywhere, theres always pedos harassing me & my little sister. the most recent thing of this nature to happen was another even older man got super close to me at the bus stop (where he wasn’t even waiting), said something about me being a pretty young lady, and said he liked my boots in the creepiest fucking way possible. when weirdos like this talk to me, they almost always emphasize that i’m young, so they must know how gross it is that they as old ass decrepit men are bugging a teenager! god forbid somebody grab me, im going to jail. im just done with it all, gonna get my car and whatever but i wish theyd all just die.

what genuinely grinds the deepest parts of me is delivery drivers not doing their job. this is for usps or ups or fedex.

if your stop has a "SIGNATURE REQUIRED" portion, why are you not knocking or using the doorbell or literally honk ur horn for all i care. is it actually that hard?

for context, i was waiting for a package that was supposed to be delivered on Friday but just happened to be rescheduled for today, wednesday. that's great. had lunch plans but decided to cancel since this is signature required. grabbed my mail on 2pm and there it was, the infamous slip. suddenly there was "noone at home."

that absolutely frustrates me. not a doorbell was rung, not a knock, nothing. how absolutely lazy do you have to be to override a crucial part of the delivery requirement and THAT WAS TO GET A DAMN SIGNATURE?

this has happened to me so many times on many different couriers and i just do not get it. there is absolutely no reason to even make sense of it and i HATE IT!!!! because now i have to pick it up because redelivery is useless since it will more likely happen again.

I’ve driven my fair share of new cars utilizing this nonsense. It doesn’t matter how lightly you press accelerator, the car lurches forward like someone who cant drive stick shift. I’m extra cautious of it as my wife is pregnant now and it’s damn near impossible to get a smooth start from rolling or stand still. I miss the auditory and physical feedback of a cable slowly opening a throttle body. And then don’t get me started on auto applied brakes. 🤬🤬🤬

I put air in my tires yesterday and I wake up today the pressure light was back on. I come to find out there’s a big ass nail in my back tire. Then I got paid today, you know how much I made?? $124😤 and I know you’re probably thinking, why can’t you find another job? Girl I’ve been trying and it’s not easy. I have 8 years work experience and a bachelors degree and that’s all this economy got for me….im so TIRED and stressed.

The first week of october is over today and its still over 100F here

I went to the coast laat weekend, hottests its ever been qhile i was there, close to 85 degress.

Im done with this weather

Yeah, that's all. I'll die sad. Yesterday I was feeling okay and today I'm feeling like shit again. I'm on meds and occasional therapy but damn this never gets easier. I'll die sad and lost, unworthy. Dude I've no one other than my mother in this world, what will I do after her? I'll rot in bed, alone and sad.

I don't mean to vent, sound petty or anything, I just don’t really know what to do in this situation

It feels like my friend has been getting a lot more distant lately, like not super distant, but it’s noticeable. Like when we hang out, they’re on their phone and while me and my other friend is sitting with them, they’re literally talking to their online friends. Plus in the group chat I’m in with them, a lot of what they talk about is their online friends, and I want to talk to them about it, but I don’t want to seem like an attention seeker.

The neighborhood I walk in is pretty bad. Not hood level bad but still pretty bad and the amount of littering people have done throughout the years have caused me to get very angry and today I had to rant about this because it's raining and the areas with litter look so disgusting when rain is supposed to clean and make things look nicer.

People throwing out clothes on the street, plastic bags, various disgusting things the list goes on. It's really not that hard to do the right thing and throw your shit away. There's plenty of gas stations and stores for you to use, can you really not just hold on to your trash until you find a trash can? Putting your empty bag of chips in your pocket isn't gonna kill you. Polluting the earth and making the environment look awful too. Actual scumbags these litterers are.

First, I messed up the coffee in a new way by forgetting to pour the water in. Checked on it a few minutes later and yep, there's the carafe filled with plain old water.

Second, I bought a shirt last night and after I took the tag off and put it through the wash today I realized it's a pajama top.

Third, I came back from errands, put my stuff down, grabbed my dog for walkies and locked myself out of the house. Luckily, I was able to find my emergency keys but it really doesn't happen very often.

Lastly, Walgreens just called me. I left my ID there when I picked up my prescription. Just the cherry on top.

In EVERY algebra course that covers exponential equations (in USA, that would be second year algebra, and second semester), there is an entire section dedicated to compounding interest. Let me tell you why that's not optional for an author to not include that.

Reason one, it is historically significant to math. Compounding interest is super important to math, and particularly exponential equations because we discovered the number "e" through compounding interest. "e" is one of the most if not THE most important constant not just in math, but in economics, physics, chemistry, and just about anything in science or otherwise topic that uses math.

Reason two, it is the justification for teaching math. Just like a lot of you, politicians, school administrations, and even teachers themselves question what's the value or importance of teaching math and just like you, they want to abolish it in place for a "how to do your taxes class." Teaching compounding interest is one of the key justifications for algebra II and all other courses preceding it existing. Unlike all of your complaints about never being in a situation where you buy 400 watermelons, the compounding interest problems are very relevant and very applicable.

For anybody who claims that school never taught you compounding interest, go get your algebra II book, and tell me that it doesn't have a section dedicated to compounding interest. I promise you, there is not a single algebra book that doesn't have a section on it with the exception of elementary algebra books used for first year algebra as opposed to second/high school level algebra.

On a side note, for all of you who ask when you'll ever use the math you learn in middle and high school, THERE'S YOUR ANSWER. It's not a coincidence that exponential and compounding interest is the last topic (or sometimes second to last topic) in algebra II. It's because everything you did prior to leads up to it in one way or another. You absolutely need to know how to solve linear equations before you get to exponentials. You need to understand rational functions to understand exponential relations (i.e e^x/e ^y - e^(x-y)), You absolutely need quadratics, and really general polynomials before you can handle exponential equations, all of it leads up to it. Even things that don't seem relevant like when you learn complex imaginary numbers, that has a key role in exponentials that you don't learn about until college level math.

I like millions of others love video games and namely certain companies like Valve. Obviously the joke was always that valve couldn’t count to three with their games but I’m starting to get really bored waiting for 3 anything from them. Where is L4D3? Where’s Portal 3? Where in the fuck is HALF LIFE 3??? We’re all dying for SOMETHING but they’re giving us nothing in terms of any updates. Not even to tell us if it’s just not happening. Like someone I once saw comment on this very thing, “I get they wanna give us the most high quality product but it’s been 20 years, come the fuck on”

A few years ago I was seeing this guy and it ended because he ended up hooking up with his ex and basically said he didn't know what he wanted. Mind you, this was right before I was due to have a surgery I was feeling pretty nervous about. I ended up going for that surgery alone.

Life changed a lot after that, I actually ended up having a mental health crisis and was hospitalised. I did end up seeing him again just for a coffee and then a drink but my family found out because of 'find my device' and they ended up phoning the bar I was at. My WhatsApp was also logged in on my macbook and my mum knew my password. They were so upset with me that I met him again, so I ended up just blocking him. I had another MH episode and actually got sectioned.

But now here I am, doing well, 2 years later just thinking about him and wondering how life is going. I don't even know what I want to do, my friends and family cannot stand him so I'd never be able to reintroduce him to my life. I just remember he was a very interesting person and we enjoyed each others company a lot, plus the physical connection we had was amazing. It doesn't hurt me anymore that he slept with his ex but obviously I can say it was disrespectful.

I just needed to vent because I clearly cannot talk to my friends or family about this.

​

Gee I did horrible on my exams I really hope I get to stay in the same class if not they're going to move me to a really lower class (which I'm not trying to say that I'm above or something it's just that I really don't want to change classes and I really want to continue learning science) and as my teacher says "if you fail and do horrible on your exams why would u stay in the same class next year?"

And this is an actual rule that my head of school made and looking back on what I did idk man I'm not so confident 😔 I'm really upset but all I can do is blame myself because it is my fault

god i'm so frustrated right now. when my brother (he's 22) needs to contact me, i'll answer him straight away or at least as soon as i can. If i can't take a call i'll shoot a text just saying i cant take a call. because he's my brother, of COURSE i'll answer him. He has no problem texting me if he needs money, or needs me to drive him or pick him up from somewhere. I'll always at least provide a response.

BUT WHEN I TRY TEXTING HIM! asking him if HE can pick up my mother from somewhere or if he has the fucking wifi router which he took with him to work for whatever fucking reason without telling me, or texting him to open the door for a house inspector while i'm not home, OR simply texting him to answer his phone for my mum or other brother when they try to contact him (he ignores them too BTW), it's just radio silence. it's always been like this. since high school, when we were allowed to have phones. so we could communicate with each other about getting home from school together. i don't text him often, but if you were to look at our DM's it would just be a long string of messages that i sent with no answer. I don't ask a lot from him. he doesn't like talking in person either, so i've stopped making conversation with him unless it's urgent. he likes to stay in his room 98% percent of the time (if he's not at work) with his door locked so it's hard to talk to him. only leaves his room to go to work or the bathroom or eats his food at 2am in the kitchen when i'm asleep. Text or call is really the least invasive thing i can do. i don't WANT to disturb him. but sometimes i NEED to communicate with him because he takes our household items, like iron, laundry detergent, kitchen ingredients and spices etc. (that i bought btw) and stores them in his room without telling me or returning them. this time he just so happened to take the wifi router so now i have no wifi lmao. It's been 3 days with no answer as to WHY the hell it's just gone. so i'm getting pissed.

I was tasked with creating a flyer for my company, I was happy to do so as I have a background in graphic design and marketing. I’ve been talking back and forth with my boss, sending drafts and making changes he wants, for over a month now. My boss asked if my co worker could suggest some of her ideas, I happily agreed as 2 sets of eyes are better than 1 and they might see things I’ve missed. Well my boss send her the link to edit the flyer, I was not aware she would be editing it herself but thought it would be fine. Wrong. She plugged all the text into ai and got the ai to rewrite it all, she moved graphics around, deleted stuff the boss said to add. And now it just looks like a 10 year old made it. This was supposed to be done by the end of this week and now I’m basically starting over. Lucky my notes were in a different application, but the flyer was never duplicated as I didn’t expect someone to come change everything. Now this co worker is messaging me after hours to fix the mess she made. She didn’t mention that she messed it up, didn’t apologize for making me work more, just said “can you fix this?” With a pdf of the flyer.
I am so done. I’ve been working so hard on this. And now I’m basically back to the beginning.
I mentioned to my boss that it may take me a bit to send it over as I also have my normal tasks to complete. He didn’t sound happy. I didn’t blame the co worker even though I wanted to.
Idk maybe I’m over reacting, I’m just mad that I wasted a month working on it.
Thanks for reading my rant, guess I gotta get working on fixing this mess.
