Rants

Post Reply New Topic

They stopped covering the birth control pill Yazmin that I was using under my health insurance. They substituted with Ocella, and I took it and it f****d me up all over the place. My hair started falling out, I felt absolutely nauseous for about 6 -8 hours a day, my right breast became extraordinarily tender, and my emotions spiraled out of control. I'm on an antidepressant in the first place, because I'm prone to interpreting cognitive stimuli negatively, but this was an absolute hell. I wouldn't wish my absurd takeover of emotions in place of reason on anyone.

So i quit after a couple of weeks and now I have to go back to condoms and their percent failure rate is so much higher than the pill. And on top of that I have insanity-inducingly painful menstruation symptoms which Yazmin really helped dampen. Now I have to experience that nightmare every month again.

There's a f*****g reason I go to the track at ungodly hours and immediatly abort my running and LEAVE when I see someone pulling up late at night:

f*****g rude walkers who think they own the track. You see those lines? You're suppose to be on the outer ones, or you two can maybe walk BEHIND each other. I know it sounds like I'm being a petty dick (I am) but nothing sucks more than to be sweating up a storm, getting your run rhythm down then suddenly having to hit brakes and do a loop around someone so you don't slam into them. The rude looks you get either way are "great". I'm going to buy an alarm clock and start setting it for 2 or 3 am. I have social issues so I don't like others to be around while I'm running and can always avoid folks at those hours, before 2 or after 3:50 am its a gamble.


This is also why I avoid running in the evening or late afternoon, all the stares you get for f*****g jogging like it pisses people off while they walk and socialize on the track. Like "Oh gee...great...one of them, we've got to pay attention now..thanks a**hole ."

I hate the tricks that certain people use in their attempts to popularise mathematics. I'm not some elitist who thinks that mathematics needs to be arcane nonsense that is inaccessible to the public, but there are certain tricks of omission and sloppiness that I believe totally betray the spirit of mathematics, and result in the public not really understanding why mathematics is interesting in the first place.

My most hated pop-maths slogan is "we define i to be the square root of -1". This gives off the impression that mathematicians are allowed to do whatever they like, and therefore gives the impression that mathematics is just a word game. It would be much more honest to say "there is a number system called the complex number system, which contains the real number system as a subsystem, and in which there is a number i such that i^2 = -1". Is that really more complicated? In some ways, it is actually simpler.

Another thing that I dislike is the furthering of the idea that mathematics is "about" numbers. This is very misleading. For one thing, most mathematics is not "about" numbers, and only uses numbers as a convenient labeling system. And even if you are a number theorist, you are not studying "numbers"; you are studying certain algebraic objects up to isomorphism. The interesting thing about the natural numbers, for instance, is the ordering on them, from which we can derive the concepts of addition and multiplication. If we didn't have this ordering, there would be nothing special about the natural numbers. They would just be some set which has countably infinite cardinality. By the same token, the theory of natural numbers would apply equally well to any ordered set of the same isomorphism type, such as the set of all possible words which use the Latin alphabet.

STOP ALL THE NOISE.

I HATE ALL THE THINGS.

I wish I had somewhere comfy and safe, but no. SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP.

So f*****g furious over some f*****g HR f*****g blind bastard who thought it would be a f*****g great idea to f*****g re-start some f*****g pointless training with less than 24 hours notice to sit in some f*****g stuffed up room when the f*****g weather has finally, FINALLY turned f*****g decent for three, THREE f*****g hours in the middle of the morning, and as for the senior who as a favour I worked over SEVENTEEN HOURS OVER THE WEEKEND, what the f**k do you call this s**t, I scratch your back, you scratch mine, you dumb f*****g moron and I thought you were fairly f*****g decent.

There. I'm getting absolutely steaming for this waste of f*****g time tomorrow morning and if they want to complain they can f**k off. Or they'll be getting a free trip to A & f*****g E - and I'll make sure the f*****g nurses there give them hell - because they also owe me favours.

I will not talk to you again. You are negativity personified. I have a high tolerance for negativity, but you broke it. You have permanent PMS, even though you are a man.

I shouldn't reply. I really shouldn't. But, you clearly like to start a fight, and I'm looking for ANY OPPORTUNITY RIGHT NOW...so ding ding, capache?

First off, this is called the Rants thread for Ranting in a (Supposedly) safe environment - so what do you think messages are going to be? Happy? Cheerful? No, einstein.

Secondly, did you look outside today? 27c, cloudless, warm and sunny. Perfect in other words. Have I complained about today? No. I'm complaining because some blind, senseless person decided to be a jobsworth and a killjoy and force my attendance to a training session, I do not need, require or have ever attended in my current employment - which stands at over 4 years - in some stuffy, crowded office at the other side of town for three hours with less than 24hrs notice. I made plans for tomorrow morning. Those included:
Making pancakes.
Showering the dog
Walking the dog in the park.
Going round with the morning paper to my elderly nan for a cup of tea and chat.
Going to town with my friends.
All positive, feel good, independent activities that I enjoy. Taken away from me without due notice. How am I supposed to feel now? Happy? That I wil not see my nan till Friday?

Thirdly, I usually enjoy the company of my seniors. They're a great example of people who actively try and make an effort to not appear to be authoritive and bitchy. As such we staff are happy to help them out when needed, because we know they care & we'll get a favour or two in return. It's called a healthy working partnership.
On Friday morning, I received a call saying that cover was short over the weekend and if I could help out, it'd be really appreciated and I'd get a couple of favours in return. I happily accepted this deal, after all, I knew I'll get those favours repaid when neccessary. So I did the long and double shifts over the weekend to help the team. So when I get a phone call, that railroad's me into an un-neccessary training session without an opportunity for a later course without due notice, I do feel a bit angry at this treatment - considering I saved there bacon over the weekend. They didn't want to come in over the weekend and I proposed the long and double shifts that meant they could stay at home with new-born relatives. Is it wrong, that I expect my favours to be repaid likewise?

I feel my emotions are accurately described above. Because I expect common sense and favours to be repaid when earnt.
You're quite lucky that I'm still quite restrained despite drinking doubles...

I wasn't talking to you. I was ranting at someone who won't read this board.

Oh. Sorry.
I should really be asleep since I have work in less than six hours...

Wow. I can't believe you actually just said that.

You really need to read what is actually written first and not what you want it to mean. And secondly you need to stop putting words in my mouth.

I would never use anything as an "excuse" for DV, SA or RC. Ever. Especially since I work 1 or 2 days a week with those who have been victims of it. And even more so since I have been a victim of all three things myself before, ffs, so how about you consider who you are talking to before you start talking crap?

Clearly you also know absolutely nothing about sociology. If you did you would realise that as social beings, we have a certain level propensity which varies from person to person to follow our natural culture or a sub-culture, one that no amount of "individualism" can overcome.

A social commentary and the evaluation of conditions which are more likely to lead to such behaviour is not an "excuse", far from it. Nobody considers it an "excuse" when we look at conditions that lead to gangs or poverty.

And finally, if you haven't acquired the ability to be mature, read, write, and reason things through by 37 then I think you're fighting a losing battle there, come back if you actually manage to get those basic things down.

I am very tired of trying to 'assimilate' myself with the humans. Since I do not know how to communicate with them I thought that if I found my niche in life that would suffice. I thought the natives would be eager to get to know me better. That certainly didn't work at my last job. Now I am trying another way which isn't working either.

I don't even understand what it is that I am doing that makes me so different than most people.

I usually like to think I am the guy who can out of a sh***y situation if it is made blatantly obvious to me that a sh***y situation is possibly incoming, but no, I'm not and I never have been.

I lost my childhood home due to a horrible lack of foresight on my part even though I was given hints by my parents they had plans to do this. Now I'm stuck in their sh***y situation, my house is going to sale, my dad is piece of s**t!! !

Psychiatrists are actually drug-dealers. But the patient is often not aware about the drugs and the motives. Unlike a junkie, who purposely seeks the dealer to get high. So that is completely voluntary but illegal (yeah addicts are one step beyond voluntary) And in the pharmacology, it is often forced and thus drug abuse, yet a well respected business and study (or sometimes regarded as a science)
This makes no sense. . . . a flaw in society

I am somebody that naturally does not grant anyone for their self-sense of entitlement or authority. It was scientifically proven that most likely everybody will get drunk on power.

In mental hospitals, asylums, psychiatric institutions, w/e, There is many physical (besides the emotional or psychologic) abuse going on. While any patient (adhd children or criminally insane adults, w/e) was hospitalized for the sake of their safety and surroundings... This is the place where people go mad! By the actions of the ones that work there, and these people will be respected for their job, they who claim to help the weak.

Same story in prisons, A sentenced pickpocket or a graffiti artist, they go in feeling sorry, they come out feeling nothing. Eventually they became criminal in prison and able of true dehumanizing acts

Nobody takes responsibility in this society (btw i'm european) and everybody just walks around kicking each others s**t around and sh*****g on each other. And when things get 'official', that is when people are hypocrites and frauds. THATS ALL

Why is the urge for competition so gigantic? This does not apply to me. It is not even necessary IMO.

society, up yours. this was my rant. about stuff that doesn't make sense to me at all and it's these things that are intolerable to me but for the vast majority it goes unseen. they disregard the possibility to contribute positively or negatively or even neutrally to a development or evolution and the outcome is of course not predicted but just too careless and malfunct . (:idea: this emoticon looks like a lady bending over )
great fun writing my first post on Wrongplanet. I will now eat a ice-cream Bye take care
maybe i will make more rants in the future....

Think I'm going to have a meltdown later. I wanted to write it down, here seems a good place. There should be a law requiring house parties to contain a maximum number of people, and for other residents of said house to be able to evacuate somewhere else easily in the event of one. There's nowhere to go, and today has been really stressful, and I don't know if I can put up with 6 hours of drunken screaming, karaoke and "the voice". I would tolerate it, but the fact you are forcing me to stay downstairs and socialise later is just IMSULTING after I have asked for escape, and today is going to be bad. Thankyou for cooking the delightful jacket potato and chilli recipe as well, something I always wish I could eat, since I strongly dislike both foods, just another stupid issue to add to my stupid pile.
Goodnight.
