Dat moment when a sore knee is keeping you up.
I think a lot of people who support communism just think "Well if it weren't for all those power hungry dictators it would have worked.", but the thing is, the fundamental problem with communism is it leaves the door wide open for power hungry dictators.
Sorry about your knee bro.
So I'm in an awkward situation with housing. My friends and I are trying to find a house to move into next year, and we located one which has room for us plus one other person. My friend Jordan's girlfriend (Amber) is currently living with her sister in a school apartment, and we've all been friends with his girlfriend and her sister for a long time. My friends girlfriend didn't turn in her housing application because she's going to live with us, but that means her sister loses the apartment because both of them would have had to sign to keep the same apartment. This shouldn't be a big deal because her sister was planning on moving out anyway.
Well the sister freaked out and went running to her mom "Amber got me kicked out of the apartment, now I'm homeless, blah, blah, blah." (She's not handling college well and has been known to be completely irrational at all times.) So their mom told Amber we have to let her live in the extra room in the house we're looking at. As I said her sister has not handled college well. She's very irresponsible, does not clean up after herself, has shitty friends who break stuff and don't own up to it, and all she ever does is complain about how hard her life is and how much her day has sucked. Needless to say, my friends and I refuse to let her live with us. Now she feels like all her friends have abandoned her, and she wants to know why we won't let her live with us.
I should add that since the sisters have been living together all they've done is get more and more mad at each other, and its pretty clear that the only way to fix that is to separate them. I do still care about her as a friend, but for the past two years she's just been kind of a crappy person. Nothing is going to get better for her unless she starts taking responsibility for her own actions, and until then I just can't really deal with her anymore,
It would have been nice if Amber had just put her foot down and said no, but instead its kinda fallen on the rest of us to stand our ground. The problem is she has a lot of trouble with depression, and we don't want to add to that, but honestly, living with us is just going to make it worse because she'll keep being overly dependent on Amber and she won't grow up and learn how to take care of herself.
Yeah. You need to look at it from a long-run perspective, like you're doing.
Well, sounds like you're doing the right thing, Danjo.
Yeah, its just feels like we're kinda kicking her while she's down. But maybe I should think about it more like a Momma giraffe, knocking the baby over so it learns to walk.
Every time I see Inst post on UG, it kind of reassures my decision of not talking to him. We don't have any similar interests any more, and he's turned into Ichikurosaki 2.0, albeit a more crybaby version. Also he's taking Japanese class, and now he thinks he's Mr. Japan, and I hate talking to those people, especially when him being a stereotypical weaboo was enough to annoy me. It really grinds my gears when weaboos throw random Japanese words into their sentences, as it sounds retarded, and I've never met a Japanese American that does that.
Also I get weirded out when he fawns over little sisters, and thinks its cool to say he's a lolicon and his waifu obsession. It's kind of pathetic that you're so in love with your waifu that you bought the same bass guitar that she owns and he wanted to play bass thanks to her. Being inspired to play bass because of a character you like is one thing, but getting the same exact bass is taking your obsession too far...
