The $%*! frustration thread

[alfadorredux]

If I'd realized at the time that my last post could be misread as a serious remark rather than a joke, I would have...added at least one more smiley, I guess. 

[GenesisOne]

In that case, it's not as easy as interpreting it as to HOW you said it.  It's WHAT you said.  

I can't imagine how "The world is going to end" can be a joke.

How does one even joke about such things?

[alfadorredux]

Cultural divide? Or just the usual "tone of voice doesn't carry over teh Interwebz"? Where I come from, "[Some trivial unlikely thing happened, and so] the world is going to end," is a common joke formulation.

[GenesisOne]

Maybe it is cultural divide.  Who knows?

Unless it's a video clip of you saying it, I wouldn't be able to tell if you were joking or not.

Tone of Voice simply doesn't carry over teh Internets.

[Thought]

It's the general lack of audio.

Insurance.  Or more specifically, acquiring insurance.

What a nightmare and a half.

[Truthordeal]

I fell down the stairs again. Luckily, this time I managed to land on my feet, so all of my limbs and digits remained intact and unsprained.

But now, a rather frustrating tale: Earlier today, when I was at Gamestop, I had the opportunity to buy Sands of Destruction. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it, so I left for FYE, rather disappointed. I could not find it there, either, so I instead bought the newest Fire Emblem game. After perusing through the mall, I went back to Gamestop and found Sands of Destruction hidden behind two other games...and because I had bought the aforementioned Fire Emblem(plus a book at Books-a-Million), I was short five dollars.

So, while not as frustrating as insurance finding, through nothing but my own sheer stupidity, I missed out. Gah.

[Thought]

Raw diets.

I look forward to the eradication of the need for sleep.

[V_Translanka]

Maybe an alternative solution would be a greater capacity to control our subconscious so that we could still be active even during REM sleep...Sleep itself seems too necessary (& sometimes darn fun) to do away with completely...

[Zephira]

Never again will I leave the house without at least eight Motrin in my purse. I'm fine for the first six hours of school, then what I had with me wears off, and then two flaming beavers gnaw on my spine for the remaining four hours.
At least I learned that the Adobe Community Help Search feature is actually useful now.

[GenesisOne]

Sorry to hear about that, Zephira.

@Z: Unless we can build a working Enertron (after reverse-engineering one), sleep will have to make due.

And even if it did work... well...

"But you're still hungry..."

The song "Let It Be" by the Beatles is frustrating.

Yeah, give up and feel warm and fuzzy in your mediocrity. What a fantastic message.

[GenesisOne]

Z, that song was written as a reaction against the psychedelic and progressive music dominant in the previous two years which made extensive use of studio trickery and complexity.

It's got nothing to do with what you're accusing it of being. 

Geez, I can always leave it to you to find the negative in everything.

[Thought]

Inside of every silver lining is a dark cloud, and at the end of every rainbow there is a leprechaun getting mugged.
