The "why I am miserable thread"
  • That's a word I learnt in biology class to describe cell states from osmosis. Turgid was from then on, forever paired with flaccid.

    Also the jokes about peepees being turgid or flaccid...
  • My wife just left me.


    ...for a few days, to visit her sister in Portland and attend a cake-decorating seminar. But still, I'll get to remember what life was like before I was married.

    (spoiler: looooooooooots of video games.)
  • ASSHOLE

    My heart sunk for a second there.

    Edit: I believe this is at least the second time I've fallen for you doing that. I will probably continue to do so.
  • Can you spay a cat with pliers?



    Yeah dude, the animal shelter will almost certainly help you with that. Well, not the pliers, but defraying/subsidizing the cost of spaying is most of what they're for since it's the most efficient way to go, cost-wise.

    I am currently figuring out how to wipe that particular two word phrase from my mind, but I have to ensure its gone forever. If I have to resort to medically induced coma I will go there


    Glad I could make your night =D
  • I have to say that I'd try to work "fecund slit" into my conversation if it wouldn't probably get me fired for sexual harassment.
  • Laptop hard drive completely died on me. Just lost a lot of the work I've done this semester and have to buy a new one.
  • And this time you'll have a backup solution?
  • Somewhat. I put most of it on google docs for safekeeping, but that was mostly copies of coursework and term papers in case I couldn't get to my laptop and needed them. Stuff I was writing for fun or that might eventually go in my portfolio never made it that far since for some reason I deemed all of it "unfinished" =/
  • Well the GPU on my laptop died, now I have to buy a new computer and no WoW. :(
  • My desktop and laptop died within two weeks of each other. The laptop had the hard drive die so I'm just at the point where I'll end up buying something new instead. I have no idea what happened to the desktop. At least I got to rub it in my wife's face that it was a decent idea to keep the old XP machine as a back-up. I also had a scare with my 3DS as I thought I lost all of my puzzle pieces due to corrupted data.
  • I'm glad I wasn't part of that conversation. That was a "One of the good ones" if I ever heard one.
  • My uncle is going to die sometime in the next 12 hours. I'm trying to convince my mom to fly out there. Even if she doesn't make it in time, she can be there with family.
  • That sucks. You've been worried about that for a long time, and it will probably be good to have some closure, but it's still a hard thing to go through.
  • Yeah, I mean, it's sad, but my mom is who I am worried about.
  • That really sucks.
  • I am sorry Karaoke, situations like that really do suck. :(
  • Thanks guys. She really is gonna fly out, which is good.
  • It's likely that I'll be fined by my school for the state of the common area in my dorm. A place that in the last two semesters I've barely set foot, let alone had drunken parties in.

    It's a little hard to tell in the picture, but the carpet is covered in alcohol and food stains going back eight months.

    Spoiler:

  • So pick things up and have all the roommates split the cost of steam cleaning the carpet.

    Also, kill your roommates after they pay you.
  • We would, but they're inspecting the rooms early tomorrow and we found out today because they do it when the first person leaves and one of my lovely roommates just told us he's leaving tomorrow.
  • How kind of your roommates.

    Kill them.
  • I had to pay in my first dorm, my first semester, because assholes poured antibacterial soap on all the doorknobs on our floor as a prank. That shit has alcohol in it, alcohol eats through wax, the morons fucked up the floor finish running the entire length of the corridor. Didn't think it would be that bad considering the amount of people on the floor but for some reason they decided the women had nothing to do with it so were exempt...

    I hate election days. There have been at most 20 people who voted today and these people can't close out the voting machines in any kind of prompt manner. No one showed up in at least the last 2 hours... what the fuck could possibly take so long to pull out the receipt, match the numbers and file the districts? I want to go home, I got a girlfriend cooked dinner waiting for me that I'd like to get to before she goes to bed.
  • kind of preemptively miserable but if it takes me 5 years to get a 2 year degree I will have a nervous breakdown.
  • If it makes you feel better by comaprison, it's taken me almost 10 years to get my AA. On the plus side...

    EDIT: Wow, best typo ever.
  • yeah, but I've been unemployed the whole time so I don't have an excuse of why I haven't been taking 3 or 4 classes and in some cases 1 class.
  • Excuse for who, your parents? If someone else, why care?
  • On the one hand, grateful for coworker letting me know that there are tacos for lunch so I can skip it, not really a big fan. On the other hand, man...
  • How kind of your roommates.

    Kill them.



    Anyone who has consumed that many Tootsie Rolls has already sealed up their entire gastrointestinal system. They'll get what's coming to them.
  • My GM canceled our game of Paranoia. Boo-urns.
  • That sucks. I had a Heroes Unlimited campaign that fizzled because the GM got mopey that his crazy girlfriend broke up with him, and most of the players moved away due to work/school.
  • That's why I do most of my gaming over Skype nowadays. It's become too much of a hassle to get everyone in the same room for gaming on a regular basis.
  • Fuck low flow toilets.
  • Every time I take a crap it insults me by not accepting the poop into its innards and then proceeds to be clogged for hours on end despite much flushing and plunging.
  • You should be able to adjust the amount of water in each flush by messing with the hardware in the reservoir.
  • I've never messed around with a toilet before, I don't want to risk somehow messing up my dorm's toilet and getting fined.
  • I'm no tolietologist, but in my experience I think the best thing you can do is stuff a whole bunch of toilet paper into it and then flush it. You might be able to clog it up so much that it becomes unclogged.
  • Stop eating family-size dinners fatty.
  • I stop when I start getting fat.
  • Just constantly complain about it being clogged until they decide to fix it.
  • I put in a work order for it, so it'll hopefully be fixed by the time I get back tomorrow. I just don't like that toilet calling my poop freakish in size.
  • Why don't you try cutting it up into smaller pieces before you put it in the toilet so that it might flush better?
  • Yeah because that is where you needed to take this conversation.
  • Do you mean like on a chopping board, or pinching it off into smaller pieces? Pinching is just asking to make my ass a mess, and I'm not sure, but cutting it up outside the toilet just seems like asking for ants.
  • I just took things to their natural conclusion.
  • You're telling me you don't keep a pair of shit scissors in your bathroom? I don't know how anyone can expect their mess without it. Just go to your local Ace and get you a pair.

    You can't blame me, if you get a fastball down the middle you're going to swing for the feces.

  • I usually have a knife on me, but cleaning that would be a pain.
