TTBM #4? 5? I don't even-

The original Tron is a technical feat...almost no CG; all hand-drawn, hand-rotoscoped effects (even the 3D graphics). It's also a great movie. Ninja-recommended. []

OH GOD WTF!!!!!!

...how do you know what those two hentais contain?

Cuz I clicked on those without knowing they were these things......

I quite agree. The graphics have their own charm to them.

Also, this is pretty fun!

Fun fact: I watched Tron in Compsci.

TTBM: Opposite sex couples should be the only couples who are allowed to get married because they're the only couples who run the risk of unplanned pregnancies.

Whut?

Surely that's an argument AGAINST hetero marriage.

Having clicked on the link...yeah, it makes about as much sense as you might imagine.

"It is plainly reasonable for California to maintain a unique institution [referring to marriage] to address the unique challenges posed by the unique procreative potential of sexual relationships between men and women," argued Washington attorney Charles J. Cooper, representing the defenders of Proposition 8. Same-sex couples need not be included in the definition of marriage, he said, because they "don't present a threat of irresponsible procreation."

Purely out of curiosity, what website was it?

TTBM: So, yeah, a few weeks ago a budget happened over here.
Something flew under my radar until recently.

They're cutting things for adults who want to get back into education so bad that I don't think I will be able to afford to go back to college in the next five years.

I won't be able to get a loan, because I had no credit history and no one willing and able to act as a guarantor.

At this stage, I'm thinking I should just wait until I'm seizure free for long enough and see about joining the US military.
EDIT: More specifically, the Marines, because they're pretty fucking badass.

Shit happens, I guess.

They're finally allowing women proper recognition for serving in the military! Maybe I'll join up with you.
Except I don't want to be sexually assaulted.

TTBM: Oh great, I'm back in the cycle of doing stupid shit so that I don't keep angsting.

This is not productive.

TTBM: Baby's fingernails are sharp so he keeps scratching my face for some reason. Iunno.
TTBM2: My brother had been annoying me much more than usual. This is not any fault of his: he is doing all normal things for him. I have not been able to tolerate his shenanigans this week, for some reason. He is attempting to show his affections by his usual gentle messing-with-me methods and I responded by angrily telling him to leave me alone. I know I am hurting his feelings but I cannot help it. I have had a long sleep-deprived week and I want to feel and act better now that it's over, but my family's telling me I have become a moody teenager is fostering resentment. I work very hard and I would like a hug or two instead of somebody telling me I need more sleep or food or comparing me to my sister at my age.
They're probably right. I just don't like being told what I'm about, which, whenever I mention this, my father tells me is merely a GT kid's opposition response. Which, you can imagine, I'm always glad to hear.

What's upsetting me more now is that I haven't told them about any of this. I hadn't realized how non-communicative I've been. That is not constructive.

TTBM: I keep writing walls of text and then deleting them.

I do that all the time.

TTBM: I am at negative motivation and going nowhere fast.

TTBM: Dude talking politics who think he knows what's what. Disavowing the lifetime work of millions of people because he says it's not a global issue so it don't matter.

RT: I feel all nauseous, cold and headachey. I wanted some motherfuckin' pizza, but if I eat any I'll barf.

TTBM: So there's this girl who we practice Kyukido with. We typically give her rides to the academy whenever we go, with her little sister tagging along to watch.

Well, there's a lot of backstory to this, but basically their mother is a total fucking control freak. She constantly berates them, takes the older daughter's money that she earns herself, occasionally rants about how she wishes she never had the older daughter whenever they argue, and is overall a very unfit mother.
Despite this, the two girls have been able to handle this with surprising calmness, at least when they talk about it with us.
That was until tonight.
When we picked the two of them up, they were both in tears, because their mother had gotten particularly malicious towards them, culminating in her telling them to "get the fuck out."

The two of them are strong strong people, but I'm worried that their strength is getting too weathered, because we've never seen them so upset before.

And all we can do is listen and offer shoulders to cry on, which we have been doing, but is apparently not fucking helping if the situation is getting worse and worse. If we were to try anything more to help, their mother would likely find more ways to strike at them, and could possibly end up taking them out of the academy, which would virtually cut us off entirely from them except for phone communication, but even that has been complicated by the fact that the older daughter's phone was taken away indefinitely following the most recent altercation (After her mother threw it against a wall of course.)

There's barely any fucking thing we can do here. If we call DCFS, then either they fail to get the two of them out of that home and their mother responds by likely cutting htem off from the academy, or DCFS succeeds, but may not place them with their father, instead splitting them off into seperate foster homes.

I'm so fucking scared for them, but I don't know of any way to help. Like I said, just being there to listen and offer empathy seems to not be doing fucking enough, because it's getting worse.

God fucking dammit.

TTBM: My parents treating me like a fucking child.

Yes, I get that I'm an adult now, and that I got responsibilities and all that other bullshit. But for fuck's sake, if I want to spend some of my free time playing video games on the computer, I should be able to play as much as I want without being told "you're wasting your life on it", that "your games are bugging up the computer" even though my sister illegally downloads music, and some retarded story about some dude my dad met at a store that used to be addicted to WOW. You don't want to moral me? Then don't. What I do with my time is my own business

Yes, I get that I'm supposed to be working on something important and the deadline's soon. Thanks for reminding me hundreds of times and then complaining that you're reminding me hundreds of times. I know you want above all to see me succeed, but, and this might come as a surprise, but I can take care of it. I can take care of it while also having some fun on the side. Just because you don't see me working on it 24/7 doesn't mean I forgot all about it. Here's a thought: why don't you let me take care of it, and occasionally ask me how things are going? And if you notice that I'm not going as fast as you'd like, why don't you motivate me to work instead of citing the many consequences that will happen if I don't do it on time, all of which I am fully aware of? That'll get me ten times more motivated than "you need to work on it RIGHT NOW. DROP EVERYTHING ELSE."

But of course, if I try to explain any of this to them, I'm the one in fault, because my parents care for me.

So fucking forget it.

Thing That Doesn't Really Bother Me:
This commenter:

The good thing about all of this is that with all the advantages that having a world class propaganda machine working to mislead the public (and that is exactly what they are doing), the democrats can only manage a slim lead in a presidential election that is so full of voter fraud that there is no way Obama could have won if the voter ID laws had been passed.

is fuckin' hilarious. Trololol.

TTBM: I'm sick

TTBM: Come on now, Pittsburgh....

404, apparently. That was quick.

I copied the link incorrectly the first time. Try again. []
