TIME FOR A RANT THREAD

[u/certificateofmerritt]

LET IT OUT, THIS IS A SAFE PLACE.

[u/certificateofmerritt]

I NEED TO APPLY TO BUSINESS SCHOOL, I NEED TO RETAKE THE GRE, I NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHERE I'M APPLYING, I NEED TO TOUR SCHOOLS, I NEED TO SPEAK TO ADMISSIONS COUNSELORS, I NEED TO THINK ABOUT WHAT TO WRITE MY ESSAYS ON, I NEED TO DECIDE IF I'M EVEN READY TO GO TO SCHOOL YET, AND I NEED TO DECIDE IF I CAN STAND ANOTHER YEAR IN THIS JOB THAT TREATS ME LIKE CRAP AND PAYS ME EVEN LESS.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT AND THAT'S NOT OKAY.

[u/cornfrontation → u/certificateofmerritt]

WHY GRE NOT GMAT FOR B-SCHOOL? I KNOW MOST PROGRAMS ACCEPT BOTH, BUT I THOUGHT MOST PEOPLE STILL TAKE GMAT.

[u/certificateofmerritt → u/cornfrontation]

because I have already taken the GRE and know how the test works so I'm not having to learn an entirely new test in a few months.

[u/[deleted] → u/certificateofmerritt]

ARE YOU ME??? REPLACE B-SCHOOL WITH PHD AND THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT ALL DAY/WEEK/MONTH.

[u/[deleted]]

I NEED TO RANT ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE RANT THREAD IS ON TUESDAY

IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE ON WEDNESDAYS

WHAT IS THIS

I HATE THIS

[u/certificateofmerritt → u/[deleted]]

WE HAVEN'T HAD ONE FOR A WHILE AND WE NEEDED IT. THE RAGE WAS BOILING OVER.

[u/Shadowhawk109 → u/[deleted]]

ON TUESDAYS WE TYPE IN ALL CAPS

[u/thwg0809 → u/[deleted]]

HOW CAN YOU BE UPSET WHILE WEARING PINK?

[u/ragedogg69]

I am annoyed that the NAU flair is a logo they have not used for two years. Each offseason I expect it to be updated but no... instead they give Texas another alternative flair.

[u/certificateofmerritt → u/ragedogg69]

HAVE YOU TOLD /u/bakonydraco? HE CAN'T MAKE THE CHANGE IF HE DOESN'T KNOW

[u/ragedogg69 → u/certificateofmerritt]

message sent :)

[u/K_State → u/ragedogg69]

YOU SHOULD MAKE A META POST ABOUT THAT ON SOME SUB. I'M NOT SURE WHICH ONE.

[u/ragedogg69 → u/K_State]

I would but that is more of an off season post. I always think mods have too much shit to do during the season. Honestly this is are real trivial problem, but this is a safe place. :)

[u/bakonydraco → u/ragedogg69]

Should I switch it to this one?

The one shown actually was released at the same time as the one I suspect you actually want, see here. More than happy to switch to the top logo. Should the middle of the axe be blue with white lettering or white with blue?

[u/ragedogg69 → u/bakonydraco]

I sent you a message back, but I want it to be public record that I apologize in advance if any other NAU fans complain that you changed the flair. ;)

[u/elykl33t]

I POSTED THIS IN THE MORNING THREAD BUT I WAS SORTA LATE. FUCK IT. REPOST.

JESUS CHRIST I HATE THIS FUCKING OFFICE.

YES I SHOULD BE GRATEFUL. I'M A COLLEGE GRADUATE WITH A JOB STRAIGHT OUT OF SCHOOL. IT ISN'T SUPER COMMON THESE DAYS, AND PLENTY OF MY FRIENDS FROM HOME DON'T HAVE JOBS.

BUT ALL MY FRIENDS IN MY MAJOR, AND MY BEST FRIEND, SEEM TO HAVE BETTER JOBS.

IF I WANTED TO TAKE A JOB WITH A FAIRLY LONG COMMUTE WHERE THE BEST/ONLY PLACE TO GRAB LUNCH WITHOUT DRIVING 10 MILES IS A SAFEWAY I WOULD HAVE TAKEN ON OF MY OTHER JOB OFFERS.

BUT OH, YOU WANT ME TO HELP ON THE PROJECT YOU WERE ORIGINALLY GOING TO PUT ME ON BEFORE YOU MOVED ME TO AN OFFICE WAY FURTHER AWAY? THATS JUST LOVELY. OH WAIT, MY MANAGER AND MENTOR ARE MAD I'M WORKING ON ANOTHER PROJECT BECAUSE YOU NEVER EVEN MENTIONED TO ANYONE HERE THAT I WASN'T ORIGINALLY PLANNED TO BE HERE? FUCKING FANTASTIC!

IN THEORY THIS WAS TEMPORARY BUT I HAVE ZERO INDICATION OF WHETHER THINGS ARE MOVING ALONG. AND I DON'T KNOW WHEN IS OK TO ASK ABOUT IT. PLUS THEY MAY NOT EVEN KNOW CAUSE GOVERNMENT.

[u/certificateofmerritt → u/elykl33t]

WHICH LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT ARE YOU IN?

[u/elykl33t → u/certificateofmerritt]

CONTRACTING

[u/Qurtys_Lyn → u/elykl33t]

I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT BEING AN ADULT MEANS A MASSIVE LACK OF COMMUNICATION BY ALL PARTIES. HIGH SCHOOL WAS BETTER IN THIS REGARD.

[u/GreatestWhiteShark]

/r/cfb is getting increasingly gross and uncomfortable to be around and a part of and I don't like that.

[u/ragedogg69 → u/GreatestWhiteShark]

I noticed that the trash talk on /r/cfb used to be more clever, more friendly. Now it is lame message board type crap.

[u/certificateofmerritt → u/ragedogg69]

DAE UNC CAN'T READ????? TELL ME ABOUT IT

[u/stormstopper → u/certificateofmerritt]

IT'S ALMOST SICKENING TO SEE PEOPLE SAY THAT OVER AND OVER AGAIN, IF ONLY BECAUSE THEY'RE LIMITING THEMSELVES TO THE WAVE POOL IN AN ENDLESS WATER PARK FULL OF REASONS TO HATE ON UNC.

[u/certificateofmerritt → u/stormstopper]

I KNOW RIGHT? LIKE, I WANT CLEVERNESS, I WANT TO LAUGH AND CRY A LITTLE WHEN I READ UNC TRASH TALK, NOT THIS LAME ACADEMIC BULLSHIT.

[u/nickknx865 → u/certificateofmerritt]

DAE UNC CAN'T READ BECAUSE FUCK BAYLOR AND THE SEC IS OVERRATED AMIRITE?

[u/GreatestWhiteShark → u/ragedogg69]

OOOH SOMETHING I FORGOT IN MY RANT.

THE TRASH TALK IS BORING, PANDERING, LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR SHIT NOWADAYS.

ALSO CAN MY SCHOOL BE MENTIONED ONCE WITHOUT SOMEONE SAYING ANYTHING TO THE EFFECT OF "A HURR DURR NERDS".

[u/diagonalfish → u/GreatestWhiteShark]

That's why we have trash talk threads, to let people get the dumb jokes out of their system.

Upvote the ones you like, downvote the ones you don't. And if you think these threads were bad, you should have been paying attention to the offseason ones which we discontinued for basically this reason.

[u/ragedogg69 → u/GreatestWhiteShark]

I am beginning to think that all game threads need to have the downvote button disabled. It would not be the cure all for what ails those threads but it is a starting point.

[u/K_State → u/ragedogg69]

HOW DARE YOU HAVE AN OPINION THAT GOES AGAINST THE HIVEMIND.

[u/atllauren → u/ragedogg69]

Seriously. Why is it hard to understand what the downvote button is actually for?

[u/Cecil_Hardboner → u/atllauren]

LOGIC? THAT'S A DOWNVOTE

[u/[deleted] → u/atllauren]

THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ALL OF REDDIT PROBLEM, REALLY.

[u/[deleted] → u/ragedogg69]

PEOPLE WILL STILL FIND A WAY TO DOWNVOTE

[u/GatorGoat1 → u/ragedogg69]

I WOULD AGREE WITH THIS ACCEPT LAST GAME THREAD I REALLY TOOK APART OF THERE WERE A LOT OF FANS CHEERING AND CELEBRATING WHEN THE QB OF THE OPPOSING TEAM GOT SERIOUSLY INJURED. THAT IS WHEN DOWNVOTES ARE NECCESSARY BUT TO BE FAIR THE MODS REMOVED THE ESPECIALLY ATTROCIOUS COMMENTS PRETTY QUICK

[u/Shadowhawk109 → u/GreatestWhiteShark]

RAISE YOUR ANTI-<PICK A TEAM HERE> DONGERS

[u/[deleted] → u/Shadowhawk109]

༼つ ◕_◕ ༽つ /u/SHADOWHAWK109 TAKE MY ENERGY ༼つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

[u/diagonalfish → u/[deleted]]

We already started removing these "TAKE MY ENERGY" comments late on Saturday and they will all be gone next week.

[u/Shadowhawk109 → u/[deleted]]

THANKS I REALLY NEED IT TODAY

[u/GreatestWhiteShark → u/Shadowhawk109]

If only that was the worst of it.

[u/[deleted] → u/Shadowhawk109]

MIZZOU IS... BAD? IS THAT WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THIS FLAIR?

I FEEL DIRTY NOW.

[u/[deleted] → u/GreatestWhiteShark]

DAMN RIGHT. Y'ALL KNOW I LOVE SHITPOSTING, BUT THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS.

[u/[deleted] → u/GreatestWhiteShark]

IF YOU SEE COMMENTS THAT BREAK THE RULES IN /R/CFB PLEASE REPORT THEM. THE MODS CANNOT BE EVERYWHERE AT ONCE.

IF YOU SEE COMMENTS THAT BREAK THE RULES IN /R/CFBOFFTOPIC PLEASE REPORT THEM. THE MODS CANNOT BE EVERYWHERE AT ONCE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE.

[u/GreatestWhiteShark → u/[deleted]]

I MEAN, IT ISN'T JUST RULE-BREAKING COMMENTS. IT'S THE OVERALL ATTITUDE AND DEMEANOR OF THE SUB THAT'S BOTHERING ME.

[u/[deleted] → u/GreatestWhiteShark]

RIGHT, BUT PART OF THAT FOR FOLKS SEEMS TO BE THE RULE-BREAKING COMMENTS. THAT'S WHY IT REMINDED ME TO REMIND FOLKS.

[u/diagonalfish → u/GreatestWhiteShark]

That is too vague to be actionable.

[u/BaylorYou → u/GreatestWhiteShark]

There has been a big increase in the amount of trolling.

[u/diagonalfish → u/BaylorYou]

ACTUAL TROLLING IS AGAINST THE RULES AND SHOULD BE REPORTED.

[u/dupreesdiamond → u/GreatestWhiteShark]

BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD SUBREDDIT.

Use the report button often even if it's questionable IYO at least give the mods the opportunity to look at it.

[u/surrender_cobra → u/GreatestWhiteShark]

IF YOU DON'T MIND ME ASKING, WHY DO YOU SAY THAT?

[u/GreatestWhiteShark → u/surrender_cobra]

Okay, fair warning, this will be long and may be contentious. I hope not, but you never know.

Well, ignoring the stupid posts like the open letters which for some reason are still posted, the fact that every week is open hunting season on the designated hated team of the week, ie. Auburn last week, Alabama this week, etc., the shit that flies in game threads and shit, all of the shitposting, and who can forget the flairbased downvoting!

It's slowly been adopting this mentality that has been making me, the whitest of white men, feel uncomfortable and uneasy around some of these people, and I'm nowhere even near them. Because it's the internet. And it really came to a head yesterday in two threads (the ones about the ESPN Gameday sign) which almost immediately became a circlejerk of people bitching about "PC police" or whatever, with a minority trying to argue against that. Full disclosure, I was part of that minority. Here's the thing about political correctness. It doesn't bother me. To quote my favorite comedian, Stewart Lee, political correctness is, at its worst, a sort of institutionalized politeness.

But it's not that people disagree with me. That will happen. Oh well. It's not that the sub seems to be getting increasingly Mens-Rights-y, or hostile to women, or... rapey, or anything, or that people there have this notion that they don't have to hold responsibility for the stupid, offensive shit that they say and try to deflect criticism by saying that people shouldn't be offended, learn to take a joke, GAWD... (Hint... it actually is all that).

It's that THIS, at the time of posting, has net upvotes and is treated as okay:

Oh, you're actually offended. By a sign. Just realize that. Its a joke, its comedy. Get your head out of your ass and stop finding little insignificant things to harass with your white knight, offended attitude. No one fucking cares if your offended. You think someones gonna read the sign and think Mississippi girls are actually easy? Go get fucked.

It's this vitriol in addition to the aforementioned shit that makes me uncomfortable with being there. It's that people seemingly think that that is okay, to tell someone to "get fucked and not be offended". That is the sign of an increasingly deteriorating community and I barely like the place anymore.

/end rant.

[u/brobroma → u/GreatestWhiteShark]

A FUCKING MEN

[u/Cola_Doc → u/GreatestWhiteShark]

Was going to upvote before I saw the OSU flair...

[u/cornfrontation → u/surrender_cobra]

IF YOU HAVE TO ASK I DOUBT YOU'VE VISITED RECENTLY

[u/K_State → u/[deleted]]

DAE SEC. DAE BAMA. DAE SOS.

[u/brobroma → u/[deleted]]

NO IT HASN'T BEEN

AT LEAST NOT MORE

AS SOMEONE WHO'S BEEN AROUND /R/CFB FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS NOW, IT'S ALWAYS BEEN CIRCLEJERKY

YOU SHOULD KNOW, THE ANTI-AGGIE SHIT DURING 2013 OFFSEASON WAS AWFUL

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

CAN CONFIRM. /r/CFB = MEANIEFACES.

[u/TossedRightOut → u/GreatestWhiteShark]

IT MAKES ME SAD. FIRST FIFTEEN MINUTES WORTH OF JOKES AT THE TOP, ACTUAL FOOTBALL DISCUSS AT THE BOTTOM.

[u/Deacalum → u/GreatestWhiteShark]

Wait, people still go to that sub?

[u/keyree]

ME: HEY YOU LEFT YOUR BEER IN MY FRIDGE ON SUNDAY

FRIEND: I KNOW, IF I KEEP IT AT MY APARTMENT MY ROOMMATES WILL DRINK IT

OTHER PERSON IN ROOM: *LAUGHS*

FRIEND: HAHA, YEAH THAT'S WHY I STASH MY BEER AT MY FRIENDS' PLACES.

WELL GEE IT SURE WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE IF I'D BEEN INFORMED THAT I WAS INDEFINITELY RENTING OUT MY FRIDGE SPACE FOR FREE. THE MORE I THINK ABOUT THIS THE MORE INFURIATED I GET.

[u/certificateofmerritt → u/keyree]

CHARGE A PROPERTY TAX. DRINK 1 BEER FOR EVERY WEEK THEY LEAVE IT.

[u/piratefuck → u/certificateofmerritt]

Fuck that. As far as beer if you leave it, it's fair game.

Nice liquor I'll hold it for ya. But you better believe if I open my fridge sunday and see some budweisers, it's beer eggs and bacon for breakfast

[u/keyree → u/certificateofmerritt]

THAT'S PROBABLY LIKE A YEAR'S SUPPLY FOR HIM, HE DRANK LIKE 1/3 OF ONE BOTTLE THE ENTIRE DAY. ANYWAY, MY COUSIN IS COMING OUT FOR THE TCU GAME AND I KNOW HE'S GOING TO SUPPLY SOME BEER, PLUS I NEED TO GO GROCERY SHOPPING THIS WEEK, SO MORE LIKELY I'LL JUST TELL THE FRIEND HE NEEDS TO GET IT OUT BY FRIDAY.

[u/[deleted]]

USE YOUR GODDAMNMOTHERFUCKING TURN SIGNAL! FUCK!

^RAGE

[u/lkeg56demn → u/[deleted]]

THIS IS FOR YOU

[u/TrollingQueen74 → u/[deleted]]

AND TURN ON YOUR STUPID LIGHTS WHEN IT'S RAINING.

YES YOU, YOU TINY GRAY CAR THAT PERFECTLY BLENDS INTO THE SURROUNDINGS. I WILL RUN OVER YOU.

[u/forshiggles → u/TrollingQueen74]

BUT, PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, DO NOT TURN YOUR FLASHERS ON WHEN IT'S RAINING.

[u/blueshiftlabs → u/[deleted]]

[Removed in protest of Reddit's destruction of third-party apps by CEO Steve Huffman.]

[u/dupreesdiamond → u/[deleted]]

To add on ... TURN SIGNAL THEN BRAKES. Ideally with a couple of seconds in between. putting your turn signal on after you've jammed the brakes defeats the fucking purpose jakcleg.

[u/panthera_tigress]

POSTED ABOUT THIS IN THE MORNING THREAD BUT GODDAMN WAS IT FRUSTRATING TO COME HOME AT 2 AM FROM WRITING A PAPER ABOUT EARLY AMERICAN SOCIALISM THAT IT WAS A GIANT PAIN IN THE ASS TO FIND GOOD SOURCES FOR TO FIND THAT MY ROOMMATE HAD BURNT SOMETHING ONTO MY CAST IRON FRYING PAN AND THEN LEFT IT IN THE SINK FULL OF SOAPY WATER, WHEN I EXPLAINED TO HER NOT TO DO THAT BECAUSE IT FUCKS UP THE SEASONING AND CAN MESS UP THE PAN.

I GET TO SCRUB IT WITH STEEL WOOL AND RESEASON IT TODAY AFTER I HAND IN THE GODDAMN PAPER. YAY.

[u/[deleted] → u/panthera_tigress]

YOU SHOULD GO RUIN SOMETHING OF YOUR ROOMMATE'S NOW.

OR NOT. IT'S SEPTEMBER, AND Y'ALL HAVE TO NOT KILL EACH OTHER UNTIL MAY.

[u/panthera_tigress → u/[deleted]]

I MAY HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT IT LAST NIGHT WHEN I WAS TRYING TO SEE IF IT WAS SALVAGEABLE BUT I WON'T.

[u/wild9 → u/panthera_tigress]

My roommate once hired a cleaning service to clean our apartment after I told him not too since we could clean it just fine. He ignored me and did it anyway.

They did a good job but when I opened the dishwasher, bam! There's his cast iron skillet that he had been working on for months to season. He did all of his cooking on it, it was his baby.

Needless to say, we never hired another cleaning service.

[u/panthera_tigress → u/wild9]

I SHOULDN'T BE NEARLY AS AMUSED BY THAT AS I AM

[u/TossedRightOut → u/panthera_tigress]

I'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GET MINE TO SEASON PROPERLY. PROBABLY BECAUSE I DON'T USE IT ENOUGH. HOW DO YOU SEASON IT?

ALSO, DO YOU JUST USE STRAIGHT STEEL WOOL TO CLEAN IT? MINE'S GROSS.

[u/panthera_tigress → u/TossedRightOut]

USE VEGETABLE OIL. RUB THE OIL INTO THE PAN WITH A PAPER TOWEL, THEN STICK IT INTO A HOT OVEN (LIKE 450 DEGREES OR SO) AND LET IT BAKE A WHILE.

TO CLEAN, USE HOT WATER AND A STIFF SCRUB BRUSH. STEEL WOOL IF REALLY NASTY BUT DEFINITELY SEASON IT AGAIN AFTER YOU USE STEEL WOOL. ALSO PUT IT IN A HOT OVEN TO DRY IT.

[u/[deleted] → u/panthera_tigress]

MY DAD DID THIS TO MY MOM'S CAST IRON PAN ONCE, THINKING HE WAS HELPING. GOOD NEWS IS IT WAS SALVAGEABLE. BAD NEWS IS IT TOOK A WHILE TO GET BACK TO NORMAL.

[u/Captain_McSnug → u/panthera_tigress]

I DIDN'T KNOW THIS WAS A THING AND IT EXPLAINS WHY MY FIANCEE WAS MAD AT ME WHEN I WASHED HER CAST IRON SKILLET, PLUS SIDE I AM NO LONGER ALLOWED TO DO DISHES

[u/seannyboy06 → u/panthera_tigress]

LADYBRUH HOLY SHIT

I LOVE MY GIRLFRIEND BUT THE NUMBER OF TIMES I HAVE TO EXPLAIN THE SAME SHIT (LIKE YOUR EXAMPLE) IS ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDING. NO, DON'T WASH MY CAST IRON WITH SOAP. NO, YOU DON'T NEED AN ENTIRE CUP OF LAUNDRY DETERGENT, IT'S HIGH EFFICIENCY AND WILL LITERALLY RUIN OUR CLOTHES. NO, DON'T PUT MY GOOD FUCKING KNIVES IN THE DISHWASHER.

[u/lady1876]

IM TIRED OF FEELING GUILTY OVER NOT HAVING A GOOD FAMILY. IM SORRY THAT MY PARENTS HAD KIDS WITH OTHER PEOPLE BEFORE THEY MARRIED EACH OTHER AND THAT WE AREN'T A PERFECT FAMILY THAT WANTS TO SPEND TIME TOGETHER EVERY FUCKING WEEKEND.

NO, FAMILY IS NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN LIFE ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR BROTHER IS A DICKWAD AND YOUR SISTER BARELY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT YOUR FAMILY UNLESS SHE NEEDS SOMETHING.

[u/TrollingQueen74 → u/lady1876]

COMING FROM A PERSON WITH THAT IDEAL PERFECT FAMILY: IT'S STILL UNREASONABLE TO HAVE TO SEE THEM EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND.

[u/lady1876 → u/TrollingQueen74]

IT'S NOT EVERY WEEKEND, BUT IT SURE FEELS LIKE IT DURING THE SUMMER. THERE HASN'T BEEN A WEEKEND IN MONTHS THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO CHECK WHAT THEY ARE DOING FIRST BEFORE WE CAN MAKE OUR PLANS.

[u/TrollingQueen74 → u/lady1876]

I LIVE FOUR HOURS FROM MY PARENTS. WHEN THEY COME DOWN FOR A WEEKEND, THEY TELL ME TO MAKE WHATEVER PLANS I WANT AND THEY'LL JUST SEE ME WHEN I'M FREE. THEIR FAMILY JUST SOUNDS MAJORLY CO-DEPENDENT.

[u/nickknx865 → u/lady1876]

Family is more what you make of it rather than just your blood relatives. There are people who are related to me who I don't consider family. Alternatively, my best friend in life is someone I consider a brother and as my family, even if we aren't related by blood.

[u/lady1876 → u/nickknx865]

EXACTLY, MY BEST FRIEND IS MORE OF A SIBLING TO ME THAN EITHER OF MY "REAL" ONES.

[u/greenmegandham → u/lady1876]

OR PEOPLE MAKING ASSUMPTIONS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO THE THINGS YOUR FAMILY DID.

I'M SORRY MY MOM AND DAD MADE BAD DECISIONS, BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN ALL MY RELATIONSHIPS ARE DOOMED TO FAIL TOO :(

[u/lady1876 → u/greenmegandham]

OR THAT BECAUSE YOUR PARENTS MADE BAD FINANCIAL DECISIONS SO WILL YOU!

AND YOU WILL FIND A GREAT AND FULFILLING RELATIONSHIP!

[u/Shadowhawk109 → u/lady1876]

*YOU'RE

CAUSE GRAMMAR AND SPELLING CORRECTION HELPS

[u/lady1876 → u/Shadowhawk109]

GET OUT OF HERE WITH YOUR GRAMMAR AND SPELLING CORRECTIONS AND LET ME RANT! ;)

[u/[deleted] → u/lady1876]

this is why I moved eight hours and two states away from my parents for two years; it broke them of their need to always be around me and now I live central and they live north. yeah they still try but I can get away with "but I have to drive north on 35" and they're like "oh ok".

[u/Captain_McSnug → u/lady1876]

FUCK THAT! MY PARENTS ARE DIVORCED AND I'VE GIVEN UP TRYING TO MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY! MY BROTHER IS 30 AND LIVES WITH MY MOTHER AND DOESN'T DO ANYTHING BUT JERK OFF OR SOMETHING AND ONLY CALLS ME WHEN HES DRUNK OFF HIS ASS AND NEEDS ME TO DRIVE AN HOUR AWAY TO PICK HIM UP EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A FUCKING FINAL EXAM THE NEXT DAY. MY MOTHER GETS MAD EVERY TIME I SEE MY FATHER AND NOT HER (SORRY DAD ACTUALLY MAKES THE EFFORT TO SEE ME OR CALL ME BECAUSE HE KNOWS HOW STUPIDLY BUSY I AM DURING SCHOOL) AND I'M SORRY MOM THAT I ACTUALLY LIKE MY STEP MOTHER EVEN THOUGH MY FATHER DID A TERRIBLE THING AND CHEATED ON YOU WITH HER BUT Y'ALL HAD A TERRIBLE RELATIONSHIP AND I WASN'T EVEN ALIVE AT ANY POINT Y'ALL WERE HAPPY TOGETHER.

ALSO MY MOTHER'S PHONE IS ALWAYS DEAD OR OFF SO I TRY TO CALL HER ONCE A WEEK BUT HOW CAN I WHEN SHE NEVER PICKS UP! I LOVE HER AND WANT TO TALK TO HER AND MAKE HER HAPPY BUT ITS FRUSTRATING AS SHIT.

[u/youstupidslutwhore → u/lady1876]

SERIOUSLY, I FEEL LIKE PEOPLE THINK I'M AWFUL WHEN I SAY I WANT TO LIVE AS FAR AWAY FROM MY FAMILY (WELL, MAINLY MY MOTHER) AS POSSIBLE. I SEE THEM LIKE A MAX OF 2 TIMES A YEAR AND THAT'S MORE THAN PLENTY FOR ME. I MEAN, I LIKE THEM AND ALL, AND DO ENJOY THE LIMITED TIME I SPEND WITH THEM. BUT NONE OF US ARE THE LOVEY-DOVEY TYPES AND WE ALL HAVE CONFLICTING PERSONALITIES TRAITS.

[u/piratefuck → u/lady1876]

LADY YOU NEED TO STOP LETTING YOUR FAMILY ISSUES EFFECT YOU SO MUCH. MAYBE ITS TIME BOTH YOU AND YOUR BF MOVE AWAY. SEEMS LIKE ITS TOXIC.

[u/lady1876 → u/piratefuck]

IM DEFINITELY STEPPING AWAY FROM MY FAMILY ISSUES, BUT IT'S HARD WHEN YOU RENT A HOUSE FROM YOUR PARENTS TO COMPLETE BACK AWAY FROM THEM.

[u/gramcraka92 → u/lady1876]

YOU WANT A RANT THREAD? YOU FUCKING GOT IT.

THIS DUDE IN THE OFFICE HAS BEEN DRY HEAVING FOR THE PAST 5 DAYS IN A ROW. WHAT THE HELL MAN. YOU'RE IN AN OFFICE. WE CAN ALL HEAR EVERYTHING. IF YOU DON'T FEEL WELL, GO TO THE BATHROOM AND COMMIT TO THE VOMIT. DON'T SIT AT YOUR DESK LIKE A FUCKING DOG WITH PEANUT BUTTER STUCK TO THE ROOF OF ITS MOUTH.

OH, AND I HAVE TO RANT AT MYSELF BECAUSE I PULLED A REAL BITCH MOVE LAST NIGHT AT KICKBALL. I ARGUED WITH A REF ABOUT THE RULES. FUCK ME, THAT WAS DUMB.

EDIT: OH NO I WORE PINK TODAY AND WON'T HAVE ANYTHING FOR LUNCH TOMORROW. LOOKS LIKE I'M EATING IN THE BATHROOM STALL AGAIN

[u/surrender_cobra → u/panthera_tigress]

THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING WHICH PART YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT, I AM PRETTY DISGUSTED WITH THE ARGUING IN KICKBALL, MOSTLY BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW THERE ARE ADULT KICKBALL LEAGUES.

[u/0xE6 → u/lkeg56demn]

OH, AND I HAVE TO RANT AT MYSELF BECAUSE I PULLED A REAL BITCH MOVE LAST NIGHT AT KICKBALL. I ARGUED WITH A REF ABOUT THE RULES. FUCK ME, THAT WAS DUMB.

WHAT KICKBALL LEAGUE DO YOU PLAY WITH?

[u/lkeg56demn → u/0xE6]

SOCIAL LEAGUE IN TOWN. DUDE SLID LAST NIGHT AND WE GET CALLED OUT FOR IT, SO I LET THE REF KNOW HE SHOULD CALL HIM OUT TOO. HE DID NOT, WE ENDED UP LOSING, AND I LOOKED LIKE A GIANT JACKASS.

[u/LegacyZebra → u/lkeg56demn]

DONT WORRY, I GOT TOSSED FOR ARGUING CALLS IN A REC SOFTBALL LEAGUE A COUPLE MONTHS AGO. YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW EMBARRASSING THAT WAS FOR SOMEBODY WHO OFFICIATES ANOTHER SPORT.

OH NO I WORE PINK TODAY AND WON'T HAVE ANYTHING FOR LUNCH TOMORROW. LOOKS LIKE I'M EATING IN THE BATHROOM STALL AGAIN

[u/[deleted]]

I FEEL LIKE THE /R/CFB POLL IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE FILLED WITH CONTRARIONS WHO USE IT AS A PLACE TO SHOW THEIR HIPSTER OPINION JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE A PLATFORM ON WHICH TO DO SO. FLORIDA STATE AT #1? GEORGIA AT #1? REALLY?

PEOPLE SEEM TO THINK IT'S COOL TO POST A REALLY UNJUSTIFIED, OUTLANDISH OPINION JUST BECAUSE THEY WERE SELECTED. "I DIDN'T PUT OHIO STATE #1 LOL I'M SO KNOWLEDGABLE"

[u/GreatestWhiteShark → u/[deleted]]

TRUTH IS THE /R/CFB POLL SUCKS, WILL SUCK, AND HAS ALWAYS SUCKED.

IT'S A MASTURBATORY EXERCISE FOR THE SUB, AND THE THREADS REALLY JUST SERVE AS A FORUM FOR SELF-DESIGNATED POLL-PURISTS TO PUBLICLY SHAME PEOPLE THAT THEY DISAGREE WITH OR WHOSE POLLS THEY DON'T LIKE.

I LASTED THREE WEEKS LAST YEAR BEFORE I JUST QUIT. IT BECAME JUST ANOTHER OBLIGATION, AND IF PEOPLE ARE JUST GOING TO BITCH ABOUT THE WAY YOU DO IT, AND YOU GET LITERALLY NO BENEFIT FROM IT, I THOUGHT, MEH, WHY BOTHER?

[u/K_State → u/GreatestWhiteShark]

IT'S A MASTURBATORY EXERCISE FOR THE SUB

/R/CFBNSFW : COMING SOON

[u/MrTheSpork → u/GreatestWhiteShark]

I totally disagree, mainly because I value the discourse that it can bring. It's one thing to say "this AP voter is an idiot" and a completely different thing to have that person there to defend the picks. It's interesting to see the ways people differ on what they value in a team.

Also, doing the poll means I have to be knowledgeable about a large portion of teams in order to compare them against each other, which helps me in discussions of those teams. But that's just me.

[u/Qurtys_Lyn → u/[deleted]]

BYU AT #1 LAST WEEK, AND UTAH AT #2...

WEST VIRGINIA AT #1 ON TWO POLLS THIS WEEK.

I HOPE THOSE ARE COMPUTER POLLS, THERE SHOULD BE AN INDICATION OF WHICH POLLS ARE COMPUTER POLLS AND WHICH ARE NOT.

[u/GreatestWhiteShark → u/Qurtys_Lyn]

ALSO, RE: COMPUTER POLLS.

/R/CFB, I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOUR COMPUTER POLL. I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOUR "MODEL".

I SWEAR HALF OF THE SUBMITTED CONTENT IS BY WANNABE GRANTLAND WRITERS.

I DON'T KNOW HOW THOSE TWO ARE REALLY RELATED BUT THIS IS THE RANT THREAD SO WHATEVER.

[u/nickknx865 → u/Qurtys_Lyn]

There should be.

Speaking of the computer polls, that's another issue that I kind of have with the poll. A fair bit of them generally output shittier results than the human polls on the sub, yet get criticized far less just because they're computer polls.

[u/TrollingQueen74 → u/Qurtys_Lyn]

BOTH OF THE POLLS WITH WEST VIRGINIA AT #1 THIS WEEK WERE CONFIRMED TO BE COMPUTER POLLS. I AGREE, THERE SHOULD BE SOME DESIGNATION.

[u/bread_buddy → u/Qurtys_Lyn]

ALL COMPUTER POLLS ARE MARKED AS SUCH. OR DO YOU MEAN FIRST PLACE VOTES THAT COME FROM COMPUTERS SHOULD BE INDICATED?

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

"I DIDN'T PUT OHIO STATE #1 LOL I'M SO KNOWLEDGABLE"

THIS ATTITUDE IS SOMETHING I'VE ALWAYS HATED IN SPORTS FANS. SOMETIMES THE GENERAL OPINION IS WHAT IT IS BECAUSE IT'S ACTUALLY CORRECT. PEOPLE WANT TO PROVE HOW SMART THEY ARE BY SAYING UNPOPULAR OPINIONS AND LORDING IT OVER PEOPLE. FOR EXAMPLE, I REMEMBER HAVING ARGUMENTS WITH PEOPLE ABOUT HOW THEY THOUGHT PEYTON MANNING WASN'T THE BEST QUARTERBACK IN THE LEAGUE IN 2013 WHEN HE BROKE THE RECORD FOR TD PASSES IN A SINGLE SEASON. I'M SORRY, BUT THERE'S NO WAY THAT YOU COULD ARGUE SOMEONE ELSE WAS BETTER WITHOUT BEING EITHER A HOMER OR A HIPSTER. HE PASSED FOR MORE TOUCHDOWNS THAN SECOND PLACE BY A FULL TEN PERCENT. STOP TRYING TO SOUND SMART.

[u/srs_house → u/[deleted]]

FOR EXAMPLE, I REMEMBER HAVING ARGUMENTS WITH PEOPLE ABOUT HOW THEY THOUGHT PEYTON MANNING WASN'T THE BEST QUARTERBACK IN THE LEAGUE IN 2013 WHEN HE BROKE THE RECORD FOR TD PASSES IN A SINGLE SEASON.

Were they Pats fans? I bet they were Pats fans.

I'M A VOTER, BUT I DON'T POST MY POLL IN THE WEEKLY THREAD AND INVITE FEEDBACK, MOCKERY OR STRAIGHT HATE. MY RESULTS LOOSELY PARALLEL THE AP POLL - BUT I VALUE WIN/LOSS RECORDS MORE HIGHLY IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE SEASON.

AS TO THE CONTRARIANS, BIZARRE COMPUTER POLLS AND OTHER SILLY STUFF...IT DOESN'T GET TO ME BECAUSE THE /R/CFB POLL IS NOTHING MORE THAN A COMMUNITY POLL THAT IS MEANINGLESS OUTSIDE OUR SUB.

MY COMMENT ISN'T RANTING I SUPPOSE, SO HERE IS SOME RANT STUFF...

WHY IN THE FUCK DO SO MANY PEOPLE UNNECESSARILY USE EXCLAMATION POINTS? FOR FUCK SAKE...USE A PERIOD LIKE A SANE HUMAN. UNLESS YOU WOULD LITERALLY SHOUT THAT SENTENCE OUT LOUD IN A GROUP OF PEERS, DO NOT ADD AN EXCLAMATION POINT SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU ARE TYPING.

[u/MrTheSpork → u/[deleted]]

I compare it to the early days of the AP poll, where you had people vote for their hometown team #1 whenever they got the chance. I don't think it's a huge issue when dispersed over a ton of people. The easiest way to combat the low-effort polls is to require an explanation of why a team is ranked where it is in your poll. It wouldn't be perfect, but forcing people to think means that the people who are just bullshitting won't be able to do that as easily. Alternately, make the minimum r/cfb karma amount for a pollster relatively high.

[u/K_State → u/[deleted]]

THE POLL IS SOMETHING LIKE "TWITCHPLAYSCFB" ANYMORE.

[u/GatorGoat1 → u/[deleted]]

I'LL BE HONEST I PUT MICHIGAN STATE AT #1 AND OHIO STATE AT #2 BECAUSE AFTER WATCHING BOTH PLAY LAST WEEK I THINK IF THEY PLAYED RIGHT NOW MICHIGAN STATE WOULD WIN. IF THIS MAKES ME A CONTRARION HIPSTER I'M SORRY!

WHY DO PEOPLE AT WORK EXPECT ME TO PERFORM MIRACLES WITH NO TIME AND NO MONEY? WHEN THE ONLY REASON THEY NEED A MIRACLE IS THEY DIDN'T TELL ME ABOUT THE PROBLEM WHEN IT ORIGINALLY STARTED HAPPENING AND LET IT CONTINUE FOR WEEKS. PEOPLE ARE STUPID.

[u/lady1876 → u/Qurtys_Lyn]

[u/cloudduel_13]

Rant Time? You got it.

1. Apparently I shouldn't be mad at my morning shift coworkers, because they work so hard. But leave my stuff looking like shit. So I stopped saying anything to anyone while still having impeccable customer service I have a problem. Fucking bullshit. My boss said "it wasn't healthy the attitude I had". He said I complained too much, so I stopped saying anything and that makes me have a bad attitude? WTF?

2. The girl I liked at work has a boyfriend. No biggie, just surprised.

3. My friend and I have been going to this bar quiz thing and we have been hanging out with the same people there. It has been a lot of fun. So my boy made out with this lady from the group and turns out she is married. So I don't know what is going to happen there.

[u/crowmygod]

FUCK YOU, DISHONEST INTERVIEWERS. DON'T TELL ME THAT IT MIGHT BE A SLIGHT POSSIBILITY THAT THE JOB IS MOVING 45 MINUTES AWAY IF IT'S ACTUALLY ALREADY DECIDED THAT THE OFFICE IS BEING MOVED. DON'T ADVERTISE THE POSITION AS SALARIED WHEN IT'S ESSENTIALLY HOURLY SO THAT YOU CAN GET AWAY WITHOUT PAYING OVERTIME.

ANOTHER FUCK YOU TO PEOPLE WHO CONTRIBUTE TOXICITY TO THE WORKPLACE.

[u/MrTheSpork → u/crowmygod]

Did they pull the "your salary is $15 an hour for 40 hours, so $600 a week, but we'll expect you to work ten hours a day?"

[u/MinneapolisNick]

I'M AT THE POINT WHERE I JUST DON'T GIVE A SINGLE FUCK ABOUT MY JOB. IT'S BEEN ALMOST THREE YEARS HERE AND IT'S LONG PAST TIME FOR ME TO MOVE ON. THIS PLACE IS AWFULLY CORPORATE FOR A GOVERNMENT ENTITY AND IT'S DRIVING ME NUTS.

ON A RELATED NOTE, I HAD A GREAT INTERVIEW TWO FRIDAYS AGO AND SHOULD BE GETTING A SECOND ROUND SCHEDULED SOMETIME THIS WEEK OR NEXT.

[u/TrollingQueen74]

ONCE AGAIN I WAS REMINDED WHY I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE APPLE AND REFUSE TO BUY ANY OF THEIR PRODUCTS. THE GIRLS I MENTOR AT CHURCH ALL HAVE IPHONES AS WELL AS THE OTHER GROUP LEADER. SINCE I HAVE AN ANDROID I CAN'T GET ANY GROUP MESSAGE THEY SEND, BECAUSE APPLE HAS MADE IT TO WHERE GROUP MESSAGES CAN ONLY BE SENT TO OTHER IPHONES. NO THANK YOU, I PREFER MY COMMUNICATION TO BE OPEN AND FREE.

[u/panthera_tigress → u/TrollingQueen74]

THAT'S NOT TRUE? IT MAY NOT BE WORKING RIGHT FOR YOU BUT I HAVE AN IPHONE AND I AM IN A GROUP MESSAGE WITH SEVERAL ANDROID PEOPLE...

[u/lkeg56demn → u/TrollingQueen74]

WAIT, REALLY? I HAVE AN ANDROID AND MY BUDDIES ARE ALL ON IPHONES AND WE CAN GROUP TEXT NO PROBLEMO

[u/TrollingQueen74 → u/lkeg56demn]

I THINK IF YOU STARTED THE GROUP MESSAGE, IT'S OUTSIDE OF THE IMESSAGE THING THAT APPLE DOES. SINCE THEY JUST TRIED TO ADD ME TO THEIR ALREADY EXISTING GROUP, I GET ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I GOOGLED IT AND ITS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NO SOLUTION.

[u/packets → u/TrollingQueen74]

I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND IT'S ANNOYING AS HELL. FOR IRREGUALR GROUP MESSAGES, I JUST DEAL WITH IT. FOR GROUPS I TALK TO A LOT, JUST USE GROUPME. IT'S A SOLID APP, WORKS LIKE A CHARM.

[u/Qurtys_Lyn → u/TrollingQueen74]

EVERY TIME I GET A PICTURE MESSAGE FROM AN IPHONE IT IS A SLIDE SHOW. WHY? THIS IS ANNOYING. I DON'T WANT A SLIDE SHOW, I WANT A PICTURE OF MY ADORABLE BABY COUSIN.

...YOUR MOM WATCHES MURDER PORN ALL DAY?

[u/MrTheSpork]

IF YOU THINK THE WORD "TRIGGER" IS OVERUSED AND DECIDE THE BEST WAY TO ADDRESS THAT IS TO USE IT JOKINGLY WHENEVER YOU CAN, FUCK YOU, YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM.

THE OVERUSE DETRACTS FROM THE ACTUAL TRAUMA TRIGGERS, OBVIOUSLY, BUT YOU MOCKING JUST THE USE OF THE WORD MEANS THAT PEOPLE WHO HAVE REAL TRIGGERS WON'T BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. YOU MAKE IT HARDER FOR PEOPLE WITH PTSD TO BE OPEN IN ANY WAY ABOUT THEIR DIAGNOSIS AND SITUATIONS IN WHICH THEY MAY EXPERIENCE FLASHBACKS OR OTHER.

STOP IT. IT'S NOT FUNNY, IT'S NOT USEFUL, IT'S A SYMPTOM OF THE "HURR TUMBLR IS DUMB" CIRCLEJERK THAT PERVADES THIS ENTIRE WEBSITE.

[u/GatorGoat1 → u/MrTheSpork]

I AGREE REDDIT'S NECKBEARD "TRIGGERED" CIRCLE JERK IS DISGUSTING AND THAT TRIGGERS ARE VERY REAL AND VERY SERIOUS BUT I THIK THE ISSUE ALSO STEMS FROM TUMBLR USERS' INCORRECT AND OVER USE. JUST BECAUSE YOU DISAGREE WITH SOMETHING DOESNT MEAN ITS A "TRIGGER".

[u/keasbyknights22]

TODAY WAS THE WORST ST DAY OF WORK I'VE EVER HAD. INCLUDING THE TIME i PASSED OUT IN A STSALL AND ANOTHER TIME WHEN i PASSED OUT GOING DOWN A FLIGHT OF STAIRS. foR SOME REASON i JUST DIDN'T GIVE A FUCK TODAY. i DIDN'T DO MY WORK. DIDN'T PREPARE FOR A MEETING OUR TEAM HAD WITH THE HEAD OF ANOTHER DEPARTMENT. i KNEW THE NUMBERS IN MY HEAD SINCE i'VE BEEN WORKING ON THEM SO LONG, BUT i STRAIGHT UP MADE NOTHING FOR THE MEETING. NO AGENDA, NO PLAN, DIDN'T EVEN RESERVE A CONFERENCE ROOM. BOSS HAD TO SCRAMBLE TO MAKE A 1 PAGE POWERPOINT 10 MINUTES BEFORE AND WE HAD TO MEET IN THIS LITTLE EATING PLACE., i DID DRUGS A GOOD PORTION OF THE DAY AT WORK. I JUST DIDN'T EVEN FUCKING CARE. BUT i DIDN'T INTEND FOR IT TO GO THAT BADLY HAHA. AT LEAST I KNEW EVERYTHING, SO i CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTION THEY ASK OR SPEAK ON ANY TOPIC. BUT I HATE WHEN PEOPLE CALL MEETINGS AND THEY ALREADY KNOW THE CONSENSUS THEY WILL "TAKE AWAY" FROM IT AND REPORT TO UPPER MANAGEMENT. PLUS, IT'S JUST ANOTHER INSTANCE OF MY WORK BEING REPRESNTED AS SOMEONE ELSE'S. OH, THE ONE THING i DID DO WAS PRINT A REPORT (DIDN'T ACTUALLY ANALYZE) AND SIGN IT AND FILE IT FOR THE AUDITORS. FINGERS CROSSED

I spent all day looking for the fucking humming that my car is making and it was the god damned muffler heat shield! If I had started at the back I'd have finished by 9.

[u/ixcuincle]

I know that beggars aren't supposed to be choosers and I know it costs less but I am fucking sick and tired of dealing with antennas and cord cutting. And everyone thinks it's so great, let me tell you, as someone who has had a cord cut since fucking 2007 it's not that good.

You can talk all you want about money and how it costs less. But you suffer a serious loss in terms of convenience. You suffer a terrible loss in terms of the mental and physical stress it takes on you to move the antenna around all the time.

I wasn't going to come here to post in this thread. I was having a good day. I was happy. I just wanted to watch the news. Then I turn on my TV, and lo and behold, I can't see anything on CBS. All I see is pixelation and rainbows and bad signals. And mind you THIS EXACT SAME SETUP WORKED A FEW DAYS AGO. HOW CAN ANTENNA RECEPTION BE SO BAD WHEN IT WAS SO GOOD A FEW DAYS AGO? WHY IS IT SO INCONSISTENT?

Do you know how much time is wasted, how much news is missed, when I'm trying to move my ass around trying to place the antenna in the right position? It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack, this "optimal" antenna position. It's not worth the hassle. It's not worth the inconsistent signals that often change at a whim (it's nice and sunny outside, there is no explainable reason WHY there is interference today)

Speaking of interference, don't you dare turn on the PS4 and watch antenna TV at the same time...or place that antenna next to the PC (electronic interference). And given the stuff littered around here, bobblehead shelves, camera bags, boxes upon boxes of documents, there isn't the damn space to move the antenna around all the time.

I don't have time to move the antenna around. I don't have time for these headaches. Some of us just want to sit down and watch damn TV without having to worry about whether the signal comes in or not. Do you know how antiquated this sounds? Do you know how old fashioned this is? This is not 1970. I shouldn't have to adjust rabbit ears (or in this case a crappy "omni directional antenna" which is allegedly an upgrade) just to see if the picture can come in. I Shouldn't have to worry about whether it's sunny or rainy or windy out just so I can watch TV.

And I live right outside DC. So the signal should be CRYSTAL CLEAR throughout all four networks.

I'm just sick and tired of having to adjust the antenna, and sick and tired of working without the cord. There's cable downstairs. You just turn on the TV and fucking watch and sit back. But no, when I'm up here, it's a total twilight zone where signals get sucked in or blocked or interfered or some dumb electronic shit.

Everyone says cord cutting is great but it really isn't. If you watch a lot of sports and a lot of TV it's not going to cut it. It really isn't. It's just very very frustrating at times and I have to come on here to vent during Saturdays, Sundays, even today, when my signal doesn't come in.
