The ranting thinking thread

[Rebel Dynasty]

Dear nature,

I hate black flies. And biting midges. And deer flies. And frigging horse flies.

Also, mosquitoes as a whole can spontaneously combust, now.

signed,

someone who is actually having an allergic reaction from the number of bites on her right now.

Praying I don't have endocarditis. That's still 25% fatal even with all the antibiotics in the world. I hope we've caught it early if so.

 

[Goldsickle]

Woke up with a surprise fever, coughing and sneezing issues.
I used that sweet, sweet heavy-duty painkiller surplus I used for my previous ear-infection problem earlier this year.
Felt better but the effect only lasts about 5 hours.

Henry Cavill as Geralt looks pretty dang spot on.

But despite that being the general consensus, there's still a few ignorants who have stupid gripes. "Why no beard", "why no two swords"...

These self proclaimed "fans" only have the videogames in mind when it comes to The Witcher, and they absolutely can't get into their skulls the fact that the show is meant to be an adaptation of the books. In them, Geralt wears black clothes most of the time, with a studded leather jacket and yes, only one sword on his back. Usually the steel one, as the silver blade is carefully wrapped in cloth and transported on his horse, he never risks ruining it by carrying it with him. If I have to nitpick something, it's be the absence of silver spikes on his gauntlets' knuckles but that's pretty much it.
As for the beard, once again that's something Witcher 3 brought to the collective imagery, even the previous two games had him beardless and before 3 came out, no one associated facial hair to Geralt.

I don't know if these people are just ignorant, or trying to justify the nonsensical backlash they pulled when they first shat on Cavill for those test pictures that came out some time ago (when the hell will folk learn not to downright judge something before it's actually finished).

What is up with the pollen?? I'm popping one-a-day pills multiple times a day just to take the edge off.

Also, I recently rediscovered why I abhor Facebook...doesn't warrant repeating but suffice to say, if you're a one dimensional, hypocritical, manipulative attention whore, Facebook is the platform for you.

 

[V]

I guessing the weather flip-flopping between toasty and dull/cool is causing the plants to go nuts and release pollen all at once on some days.

 

[Angel]

I'm starting to believe I don't even have hayfever. I have some kind of alien super rhinitis that only plagues me and, hilariously, my daughter.

Trying a different antihistamine today - it's Benadryl but with acrivastine, one I haven't tried yet.

Put an animal in a bin and maybe you’ll get arrested and spend some time in prison for it.

Lick some ice cream at a store and put it back as a “joke” and you’ll get 20 years...

Oh, so this is how the world works?

I tried to mash an avocado earlier and it was a complete disaster. How exactly are you supposed to mash them without a blender or special utensils? half of it shot out of my hand and behind the kettle on first go and I had to wash that and retry. It ended up looking like a bowl full of chopped/flattened frog parts. Very appetising

I'm starting to hate the phrase:

"Indie love letter to [INSERT GENRE]."

Are you sure it's ripe? I've only ever had flying avocados when they weren't ripe. But usually we just slice or chop the avocado and squish squish squish with a fork.

I've no idea. This is the first time I've ever bought an avacado. How do you tell the ripeness?

So in Banjo Kazooie there’s the almighty ruler of the Jinjos called The Mighty Jinjonator.

Then in Banjo Tooie there’s King Jingaling who’s supposed to be the ruler of the Jinjos.

Make your mind up, Rare.

I wonder if they’ll ever change these stupid things about tennis;

The women only play to three sets.

There’s no tiebreaker in the fifth set.

Both of these things **** me off equally.

 

[Angel]

Vodka, why you burn so much? And why do I insist on downing shots rather than mixing you so I don't feel the burn so bad?

And now I'm a little bit drunk. Oops.

 

[BrawlMan]

It's been raining on and off with humid weather all week. Only in Michigan does weird things like this happen.

 

[Goldsickle]

Dear YouTube, when I'm looking for "scary moments" of a video game, I'm looking for montage of jump-scares and creepy moments of a horror game.

NOT "reaction videos", showing the reaction of random people I don't care about.

That's why I'm glad for the brands that put a plastic seal on. Some people are gross.

Oh agreed. But my point was how is this a bigger offence compared to an animal being mistreated? I read that some guy was given 10 weeks in jail for putting a dog in a bin and this person could get up to 20 years!
