fade-are you legitimately saying that hillary is a better option than trump?

or gary johnson? or jill stein?

you cannot legitimately convince me that any of those would be better than trump, especially taking into account hillary's corruption and past, gary johnson's support of the TPP, and the fact that jill stein is straight up nuts

lol dude

you can point out how stupid the conservative platform is without promoting hillary

that said Trump would be worse than Hillary, but Hillary is also a godawful option for the presidency. I'm just not voting. Fuck it.

I'm sorry I ruined this venting and sharing post into a political topic, with me talking about Koreans turning into conservative protestant Christians, because it meet's their needs. I sexually harassed a girl once in school, and I probably made her feel really uncomfortable and I would smh in shame.

-protomost modern right wing politicians are corrupt, homophobic, racist, sexist, xenophobic old white men. the fact that most don't "believe" in climate change alone is proof that conservatism is an out of date political philosophy. how can intelligent rational people be against liberalism when the other option is this??

The broken 2 party system means that I can't express my mixed conservative and liberal values into a vote because I'm forced to vote for either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton :(

This frustrates me very much

I honestly don't get why is anime such a huge issue to some people, it's just cartoons after all just like Futurama or Rick and Morty, etc.

Although I do acknowledge that there are some weird people (including myself) who take their appreciation of just Japanese cartoons to a whole worse level, that still makes a very small minority compared to the people that just watch some cartoon series for fun or enjoyment. It's like people think in their minds that the popularity of sitcom series there are out there to have the same popularity of all cutesy Japanese stuff does.

Plus, I barely do see EU people react to anime this badly, it's always NA guys.

When I was unemployed I felt pretty bad because I wanted to do something but was too lazy to do it (its a great evil circle). Now I have a job and feel like I have no time over for hobbies or even to properly sleep. Life is good!

TFTV; CHILDHOOD STORIES EDITION

When I was young I would change schools a lot, 6 times though 7 years ? or so. It was my parents decisions and I was too young to understand, bare remember anything. We also ended up moving places three or so times so I didn't really have many long-term friends or hell I'd even say not at all. I got into gaming at a young age and my dad saw it as the "devils tool", heh. It was a pretty conflicting childhood, we had no internet at home until I was 14 so I didn't get much social interaction but I always felt a desire since my parents didn't really cut it and we moved around constantly. TF2 came out and we got a connection at home I ended up meeting people over the years and I thought it was the coolest thing ever that you could play and talk to people at the same time. Things escalate. I would never have imagined being here 6-7 years ago.
Its amazing that my dad still doesn't understand the concept of having online friends, playing any video game competitively or having different hobbies but I never had good communication with him either. I had to teach myself a lot of things and feel stressed about if I was doing them right or wrong. Our relationship is an extremely lost case, but I never cared much for it since as long as I remember I've disliked him. At least I didn't get beaten to death.
Surprisingly I didn't mind it too much. Its just how "family" was to me back then and I made the best out of hit. Its pretty fucked up when you think about it.

I look back on these things and I guess its a life experience and how I ended up finding something I enjoyed and friends and all that but I don't know man, I've had great times with this game and the community and my friends and I don't regret it and I'm happy how it turned out in the end. But its pretty hard to see my younger experiences as something valuable. The grass is always greener on the other side, and there is always someone who has it worse than you.

catfaceI use to get sick often when I was in middle school and high school, so badly to where I had to keep a bucket next to my bed because I couldn't make it to the bathroom. My mom always thought I was faking it for some reason and would yell at me every single day I was sick because she took her anger from fighting with my dad out on me. The constant verbal abuse coupled with kids at school making fun of me made me so depressed that I had to go to a psychiatrist, where I was diagnosed with severe depression even though my mom swore that it was fake and it "wasn't a real disease." The psychiatrist I saw weekly also was very rude to me, probably because my mom fed him lies about me. He would always tell me that it's my fault that I was depressed, and basically ignored everything I told him about the bullying at school and the constant fighting and arguing at home. Sometime after I stopped going to the psychiatrist my parents got a divorce finally, but after about a year of my dad being gone he started texting my mother threats, telling her he was going to kill her and burn our house down. 2 years of this goes by and we end up with multiple different sets of slashed tires, gunshot holes in our house, broken windows, 4 dead dogs and many, many arrests. After I got to the 12th grade I couldn't take my life anymore so I dropped out of high school and moved 10 hours away from home to my gf's parent's house and I can finally say for the first time in 6 years i'm starting to finally be happy. I've used tf2 for all of these years as a coping mechanism to help me get away from all the suffering that was my life and even now I still do it. It's hard to stop playing even though I get very little enjoyment from it anymore.

man, you are one hell of a hero in my book for getting through this like a pro. i wish the best of luck with life, money, love, and the pursuit of happiness.

i think this belongs in this thread and not the other one:

speaking from experience, getting out more helps in general. people irl (at least every state ive been to) are generally pretty nice and welcoming if you give off positive vibes. learning how to talk to people respectfully and without memes is one of the best skills you can learn. learn to talk to people in a way that is respectful, not awkward, and makes them feel good; people love it when you kiss their ass, whether they know it or not. every person who is good at socializing was once shit at socializing, nobody is born with it, thats why people say 'fake it till you make it'. exist in an uncomfortuable situation until it becomes your comfort zone. don't be afraid to get out there and feel awkward and out of place.

when i was in highschool i was a prisoner of my own thoughts. i always assumed people thought the worst of me. do you ever wonder if your friends don't actually enjoy your presence, but tolerate it? you can't allow yourself to tell yourself what is reality and what isn't. you can't hold court in your head, assuming what people are thinking about you is always true, trying to read their alterior motives. the reality is, most people are often thinking about themselves, with their own worries, problems and insecurities. everyone's life is a movie to them, and the rest of us are supporting actors. everyone has value to this earth, and we're all here for a reason, so be nicer to yourself in general.

I don't really like men that much anymore since a bad experience but I don't get any attention from girls at all, since I'm small and skinny and not particularly masculine- so I just kind of will myself/kid myself into thinking I'm still attracted to guys, because it's so much easier than facing the truth that I'm not even slightly conventionally attractive and my standards are set way too high from years of men fawning over me.

(i dont think i ever heard them call me by my name when i say their's all the time)

everytime i ask them something they pause for a good 10 sec and just give me a disgusted look. there were some lowkey racism here and there but i didnt really want to overreact. they make me buy them coffee out of my own pocket even though i receive less than minimum wage (late pay cheque by a week). when i asked them for my pay stub, they hide from me the entire week

stuff like this really wears down my confidence about myself as a human being.my coworkers and customers on the other hand have been very pleasant and i get along with them really well

sorry for the rant i usually dont get stuff like this off my chest that often. i have that problem where i just hold stuff in

dont let a life expectancy rule you. you cannot plan out your life based on an idea of when you may die. not to sound morbid but you could very well die in a freak accident before you turn 27- anyone can at any time. i say that because its like, why fear death, yknow? what do you have to lose except for all the potential experiences and enjoyment you are missing out on by fearing some 'death sentence' of a life expectancy. and there is a very good chance you will live longer than 27, as said above science and medicine is always advancing. doctors dont know things for certain when they tell you what your expectancy is, its just a guess. if you dont think further education is worth it i dont blame you, but you shouldnt rob yourself of a good career. what happens if you end up living into your 30s and you never started pursuing your education because you thought you would die early? what im getting at is dont let the number 27 stop you from doing what you want, because its just a number, a concept in your head, and it has nothing to do with all of the things that you will find worthwhile.

Geel9fade-are you legitimately saying that hillary is a better option than trump?

or gary johnson? or jill stein?

you cannot legitimately convince me that any of those would be better than trump, especially taking into account hillary's corruption and past, gary johnson's support of the TPP, and the fact that jill stein is straight up nuts

lol dude

you can point out how stupid the conservative platform is without promoting hillary

that said Trump would be worse than Hillary, but Hillary is also a godawful option for the presidency. I'm just not voting. Fuck it.

instead of not voting, consider supporting a third party! while they may not win this election cycle, they will get equal funding in the next cycle if they receive 5% of the vote!

i cant get better at tf2 no matter how hard i work and i feel like im even getting worse. i have a spot on a plat highlander team but feel like i dont deserve it and keep seeing myself drop further out of the skill level i used to be at.

i get good grades in school but could be working a lot harder, and it makes me mad at myself that im not doing more, but when i do i just do worse and it gets hard to justify.

i feel like im losing friends irl and even when hanging out with people i feel like im on the outside, trying to be with them instead of them wanting to be with me.

im becoming a worse person because of tf2 and while i am actively trying to stop i always end up thinking that the horrible person that comes up every so often is who i really am which makes me feel worse.

e: oh ya im also a completely uninteresting person
