My only day off this week and my dad is making me clean the garage.

Better than paying rent...

[drifter.]

That's true.

[Gnocchi Flip Flops]

How does a garage get dirty anyway?

[drifter.]

That's what I was wondering. The only conclusion I came up with my parents buy things for the yard of the car they're just gonna use just once and then stash it somewhere in the garage. Also, stuff has to be moved to like find an old hose or sporting equipment , etc. This keeps happening over time and voila , dirty garage that the only son in the family is gonna have to clean.

 

But it's cool though, me and my dad are gonna try to rebuild an old nova or chevelle once we have the tools, making space in the garage was the first step.

Quit using cheap headphones.

...... the headphones were old and used already ......

 

Anyway, OT:

Lost all interest in gaming. Start up Skyrim, only to leave 10 minutes later (I blame my current character run though, I'm still not sure what to do with him), have little to no interest in every other game - and ESPECIALLY PS2 games, GTAV continue to freeze, still hadn't gotten Savage Skies, The Ultimate DooM is a f*cking chore to play.....

 

..... combine all that with the following:

1. My right thigh hurts like a motherf*cker. Can't even walk properly. The weird thing is, I had a surgery on my Left thigh, which doesn't hurt at all, yet my right thigh doesn't have any issues.
2. Currently we have the Second Semester Exams. Its been on since the past week, and I haven't told my parents - I don't know why honestly. Until one of my mother's friends (said friend is a teacher) asked me about the exams and all, and I told her that we started for a while. Mother was shocked for the rest of the day, to the point of CRYING in today's morning. First time I cry on my mom since after I became 15, ugh. Felt sh*t for the rest of the day.

 

At least I'll pay more attention to school now that I'm not obsessed with games.

If anyone has 'Christian' and 'Trump' in their profile on any site, stay away.

 

Not sure why anyone would given that Trump doesn't represent Christians at all. His knowledge of the Hebrew and Christian bibles is poor at best.

He does have a wholesome amount of christian followers, mostly who are devoted to the Constitution and want Muslims out.

[sivispacem]

Not really. His followers aren't defined by any coherent conservative religious identity, unlike Cruz. Some doubtlessly label themselves as Christians but the Christian right hate him.

So apparently criticism of Islam constitutes being a "white supremacist". I guess with this logic, a Nigerian Christian criticising Islam constitutes being a black supremacist, or a Chinese shoelace maker criticising Buddhism constitutes a Chinese shoelace maker supremacist...

 

I'm seriously getting f*cking fed up with this leftist dogma sh*t.

[make total destroy]

Y'ALL READY FOR THIS

 

[sivispacem]

So apparently criticism of Islam constitutes being a "white supremacist".

If you're referring to the comment in the last page, it was about a hidden post copy-pasted from a white supremacist blog about how the white man will rise to dominance again. So yes, absolutely white supremacist.

Seriously F*ck Sydney Trains or what ever they want to call it.

 

I ended up missing the train / not hopping it on because they advised passengers on Platform 1 (The platform I was on) that the train terminates here and NOT TO HOP ON IT, they had cabin crew walking through the trains checking to make sure it was empty. 5 minuets later they finish what are doing and the train waits at the station for another 2 minuets before taking off. Station master advised me that the train was on service (Note he only came out as soon as the entry doors to the train shut) and told me that It was in service. Maybe a stuff up of my own but I wasn't sure and didn't want to hop on a train that could of been out of services for real and take me to heck knows where, but it's also a stuff up of Sydney Trains for advising people that the Platform 1 train was out of Service when it wasn't. Thanks I appreciate the f*ckup and confusion very much.

 

Anyway I walk back out the station and reverse my tap on (We have cards called Opal) and you use them to tap on electronically to pay your travel fares. Spoke to some nice Standby Bus drivers who work for ConfortDelGro Cabcharge (They own / manage my local bus company) and I asked politely when the next bus to (Insert Town here I needed to go to) would arrive. They weren't sure as they were on Standby for Emergency services in case a f*ck up happens and they need buses at the station pronto. but a nice fella wearing a light green shirt went and checked the bus stand timetable and told me the bus to (Insert town here I needed to go to) would arrive in 7 minuets. I thank him and the other drivers and wait for the bus. Bus comes 7 minuets later and I had no issues for the rest of the trip.

Gonna rant about consoles, especially PlayStation now.

I've only ever had 1 console which is the PS2, and it's still here and still works. I've had a f*ckton of memories on it. After the PS2, my parents won't let me buy any other consoles. I've had 2 handhelds, a GBA and a PSP.

So right now I've missed 2 console generations, 7th gen (PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii) and 8th gen(PS4, Xbox One, and Wii U)

I've missed out on a lot of games, but now I only want to play 2 games from the 7th generation, which is Red Dead Redemption and that game where you are alone in the desert and there are some beautiful views, other games are don't interest me (anymore). I was aiming for a PS3 (which had PS2 backwards compability) and replace my PS2, but I never got it. I don't really want an Xbox because most of the exclusives don't interest me or would be ported to PC later on anyway.

Now that I've missed the 7th generation, I'll just skip to the 8th, and there's some chance that my parents would let me buy a PS4. I won't buy the PS3 now for 2 games only. but I still want to play RDR so badly and PS4 got no backwards compability for the PS3. Xbox One still doesn't interest me. There are a some exclusive games on PS4 that I want to play too, such as Persona 5, Disaster Report 4+,and upcoming games. Now that PS4.5 is being worked on, I feel frantic. It's an updated PS4, but it might still not have PS3 backwards compability and the high price will probably be a turn off.

Now about handhelds. I've had the PSP and it was really great. Now I'm interested in the 2 current handhelds, 3DS and the PSVita. Being a PS guy, I would go for the Vita, but there aren't any big or many good games on it, although I would like to play Persona 4 Golden, God Eater series, Uncharted, etc. and it could play PSP games which is great. I feel like mobile gaming is killing the Vita. But I would like to also play the 3DS to get into Nintendo for a little with SMB, Fire Emblem, Pokemon games, etc. but the developing Citra 3DS emulator also is straying me away from buying it. PSVita doesn't look like it's going to be emulated for at least 5 years from now.

I'm also concerned about the age, what if I buy a PSVita and a new PS/Nintendo handheld gets announced?

So yeah, might still be getting the Vita for my birthday, but I'm worried of all the stuff above.

Jeeze What has the f*cking world come too? Seriously I was on the Google News page and I came across this article (lots of other sites are reporting it so it's not just WP reporting on it) and a Teen is suing Snapchat for negligence because apparently snapchat has a "feature" that allow you to see what speed you are going at. I don't use Sc (Snapchat) so I don't get why that feature would be there anyway.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/04/28/lawsuit-blames-snapchat-for-107-mph-crash-in-mercedes-caused-by-teen-girl-using-speed-filter/

 

 

Article mentions she was on a suburban road outside Atlanta where the speed limit was 55mph, She was doing 107 miles and crashed into a Uber cab.

 

I think shes in the wrong here for the following reasons

 

* Her own negligence

* Lack of care for the road and Safety of others

*Speeding

* On the phone ( I don't know USA Laws but I'm sure they don't allow you to use the phone at all if your a driver even if the vehicle is stationary and not moving)

 

I bet you the F*cker will find one way or another to pull some bullcr*p and get the case her way and win it. I just hope she gets a Dam judge who says "hmmm, speeding, on the phone while driving, not paying attention". Not allowing it case dismissed something like that.

 

Seriously try pulling the same sh*t here in Australia, won't work like that and you'll be up for charges instead and some criminal records on your name.

 

Why did I post this here? Well it sh*ts me how people who are suppose to be in control of a vehicle use mobile phones or break laws and then try to blame others for their issues or mishaps, Seriously Stuff like this sh*ts me and p*sses me off at the same time. Why the F*ck should the girl be allowed to sue anyway when she was suppose to be driving and paying attention and not putting others at risk.

 

Well This is 2016 so welcome to life i guess. if I can take a snippet at what the Next crazy / braindead motorist will be suing for it'll be their own mobile / cell company's for letting them use phones while driving and not putting some (lock on it where the phone disables if you are say going 10-15 mph)

Oh you'd be surprised... I think only 16 or so states and Washington DC (Federal District) have proper restrictions on handheld devices. Most other states only have temporary restrictions based on age, with South Carolina (I believe) giving authorities the power to fine people for using their phone while driving, although it's not against the law to do so. Though, a lot of states do completely prohibit bus drivers (and presumably other professional drivers) from using phones.

 

As for the car not moving. It depends what driving is defined as by the local laws. Here in the UK, if the car engine is on, from a legal standpoint, the car is being driven.

EDIT - I know this is just going to start an argument so I'll keep it to myself.

There is a lot of animosity toward the actions that "white" people have taken in the past. And the present... and probably the future. True, we are having more and more equality applied when it comes to the activities that fall in the realm of Crimes Against Humanity, but I'd say Caucasian Nations are the Champions of Hatin'.

 

Also, it might be a social thing of "punching down," it's not cool to kick someone when they down, so picking on those not in power isn't accepted. Mocking those who own the power, it's funny, cool and acceptable.

Honestly f*ck people. Rude ass f*cks, don't even know you but treat you with the utmost direspect, hosility and arrogance. People are just so nasty and I fear I'm turning nasty right along with them. Sucks to try hard to be nice or mind your own business then become subject to prejudice or hate and lose all patience.

I understand all that.

 

Maybe it's because I've grown up in a city with no dominant race, so I've seen racism directed at everyone (and again, I mean as in genuine physical attacks not name-calling or jokes), but no-one cares unless it was white people doing it.

 

I mean I had a friend in college, he was middle eastern and he got jumped by a group of kids who weren't white (I won't name race because I'm not instigating) because he was a 'terrorist', he went to the police but they denied it was racist because the guys who jumped him weren't white. Nothing was even done for him, f*ck all. They even had the names but still, nothing done.

 

I think I jumbled up my first post didn't I? I would just like for people to accept racism can come from people who are not white. It's the simple, anyone can be racist and that's my problem, no-one wants to accept that.

[AlienTwo]

That story sounds pretty sh*tty... one thing I do agree with is the fact that when non-whites are racist against whites, it is racism. Not "reverse racism" which is an insanely misused phrase, it should refer to when people deliberately act nice to people due to their race... i think. f*ck all people who judge any other culture as a whole, that's one of the two things I cannot stand in this world. The other is the Dutch. f*ck the Dutch...
