What pissed you off today? Mark II

[_Necrosomantic_]

“God chose you to be her parent because of your patience.”
"God only gives you what you can handle."

Feel better? Feel like you've lifted the world from my shoulders because you spewed some cliché? Never mind reducing my child to a problem diagnosis. Would 'God' have given me a child without autism had I been short tempered and willing to take her for granted? What traits do I hold that 'God' felt I should endure you? I'll gladly do away with them.

Yes, nothing quite like people acting as if God just called up on the hotline and imparted such deep wisdom to them, so that they may flippantly pass it along as opposed to attempting some semblance of empathy or conversation. I don't care what intentions were, that crap comes off as dismissive and insulting. Offer them a Coke and a smile, and a big ol' bowl of shut the fuck up

I swear, people that go around saying that kinda stuff are complete re...

* Looks down at own sig *

... Shit.

Nothing today, but I'm getting pretty fucking crabby as the night goes on.

I would be particularly offended by the fact that what they're saying directly implies that God 'broke' your child and dumped them on you as a test of your character. And yet have the audacity to frame it as though this jackass is complimenting you.

Yet again, I find myself split.

Part of me says nobody broke your child, as God (if you believe they exist) put each person in whatever family they did either with the medical issues they had, or giving them the issues later after they knew what family the child was in.

On the other hand, they wouldn't have done so if they didn't either believe you would be able to handle it, or as a test to see how you would respond/if you'd know how to.

WPMOT? Tuned-in for "Final Jeopardy!" (Watch any of the show less since lived alone, so no competition.) Knew answer/question immediately, so texted immediately to sibling & mother. (Knew father was busy tonight.)

Mom sends me positive feedback, whereas sibling (college grad home-schooling own child, who parents treat & talk about as though better than I, since I never attended college or had kids) replies off-topic about my cell phone.

I may be an agnostic or something else; I really have no clue. What pisses me off is people at that church I spent a-decade-plus in (like many everywhere) seem 2-faced to me. They will thank God when they survive a disease or accident, but not blame him for it happening. Some blame bad things like these on a devil, but last I checked, "God" was oft referred to as all-seeing/all-knowing, meaning these people can't have it both ways or choose/change things as it suits them.

There was a dreadful "accident"* in Queensland yesterday. Fun park water ride, the boat flipped, four adults killed pretty horribly, two children thrown clear and survived. Both saw their mothers die, poor kids going to be messed up. But apparently them surviving is a "miracle from God".

I don't get why people think that makes any kind of sense.

*scare quotes because it's starting to sound suspiciously like criminal negligence.

It's nice to think this is why my son doesn't look at me 90% of the time.

I didn't know this about you Bramble. Thank you for sharing. I have a son who is moderately autistic. You give me hope

I can't speak for your son; we're all different, what holds for me might not for him. But it's certainly a possibility

For me - speaking with strangers, or even moderately good friends, sometimes feels a bit like speaking a foreign language. I know it fairly well, but I still have to make a bit of mental effort to translate.

Sometimes that means reminding myself to look at the other person every so often, in case they should think I'm uncomfortable/disrespecting them/etc.

Sometimes it means deliberately swearing and raising my voice, because I need somebody to understand that I'm angry, and for some reason if I just say "I am extremely upset about this" in a quiet voice they don't get the message. I feel kinda manipulative when I do that, because in a way it's acting... faking the sort of emotional cues other people would give, even though it's not a natural way for me to talk, because it's the only way to get my actual emotions through to them.

But when I'm with somebody I know and trust, I don't have to devote a chunk of my brain to translating. I can express myself as comes naturally, and trust that they will understand the language I'm speaking.

I've been with my partner nearly 20 years now, and we don't make a lot of eye contact while speaking. But we're pretty fond of one another

This made me laugh so hard. Thanks

Nothing!

A random private message from someone I've never met, judging me on things they don't have a clue about. Why was I surprised?.....such is the life in chat.

Let's just say work and leave it at that.

Trump tells supporters to watch polls in urban areas

"As one Trump voter, responding to the candidate’s call, recently explained, 'I’ll look for … well, it’s called racial profiling. Mexicans. Syrians. People who can’t speak American. I’m going to go right up behind them. I’ll do everything legally. I want to see if they are accountable. I’m not going to do anything illegal. I’m going to make them a little bit nervous.'"

Learn American, y'all! Especially all you English people trying to sneak in and vote in our election.

My phone is extra festive for Halloween with this new spider web like crack splintered across it. Extra points if I cut my fingers on it.

Another reschedule. Sigh!

Remembering.
Aaarghhh.
Dear brain, please shut up.
Please :/

Aw that sucks!

It does. I would keep the phone longer with the cracks but pieces of my screen are coming off little by little.

My fucking internet pissed me off today. I have AT&T uverse and have had problems ever since they gave me these damn new digital fancy fandango modem/router. I never had a problem with the pos one they gave me when I first got their service all the way until it died. Everything has a life span, and that one lived it's life. Now I have to deal with this shit. I pay for 6Mbps this morning I was getting 1.7Mbps, now its back up to 6.XXMbps. I have had them out over and over they are even coming out tonight to deal with this shit. God damn it don't they know our lives revolve around the internet?

The truck might be a little extreme.

I still do not have enough Suramar world quests to complete the emissary quest that spawned yesterday because Blizzard lowered the number of world quests that come up in every zone. Good job Bliz those world quests were keeping me playing the game. Guess you don't want me playing...

Eeek, id be afraid I'd get shocked or it would start on fire
