"What's Upsetting You Right Now?"

[Dr. Wily II]

Lost a friend today.

Don't really wanna talk about it because the reasons behind the loss are kinda dumb and really could've been fixed, had the person given it a chance.  So, I'm frustrated and sad.

*hugs Quickie too*

[Sakura Leic]

*joins in the hugging*

I'm sorry it had to come to that conclusion Quickie.

[Strider Xhaiden]

My condolences. That's.....that's gotta be rough.

*gentle pat on back*

[ViperAcidZX]

*joins in the hugging* I'm really that things turned out that way for you, Quickie.

Unfortunately, I have some [parasitic bomb] I'm dealing with as well.

[spoiler]So a few days ago, I had to put up with my mom bitching about how my pig of twin brother is never being arsed to man the [tornado fang] up and clean his damn room (my mom has been bitching about this sort of thing for a long time now and frankly I'm sick of hearing it), only to find out a gun under the bed. A shotgun to be exact. I have no idea what the [tornado fang] by brother is thinking in bringing that into the house, but I don't want to know. All I want to know is how to get rid off it before my dad comes back from Ecuador. I don't care if I have to chuck over a fence, bury it away, or call the cops: I just want it out of the house before someone gets hurt. At times like this, why can't my parents just have the common sense to kick my brother out of the house without any fucks given.[/spoiler]

[Sakura Leic]

Holy [parasitic bomb] man that's really [tornado fang]'d up.

[Phi]

I'm sorry to hear that, Quickie.

What you described sounds similar to what happened with my aunt.

Since I was away at PAX East, I didn't get a chance to mention this, but holy [parasitic bomb] can 2016 stop taking away music artists that I love! Bowie, Phife Dawg, and now Prince. Siiiiiiiigh. Prince is one of the greatest guitarists who ever lived.

His guitar solo in this tribute to George Harrison's While My Guitar Gently Weeps is so [tornado fang]ing amazing. (3:25) This one hit hard. 

The excellent David Gilmour of Pink Floyd included Prince's Purple Rain in his performance.

Okay, now that I've had some sleep, here's the gist of what happened.

That friend was part of our group where the majority of us are non-binary and asexual.  He's cisgender and straight.  That's fine; that wasn't an issue.  We supported him.  However, when it came to the others in the group, he accused us of being part of a "fad" and simply doesn't support anything beyond his own gender/orientation.

We tried several times to get him to understand.  We offered to educate him and help him.  We really wanted to keep the friendship going.  But, he didn't want to understand.

He decided to move on.  We decided to move on.  And now he's blaming us for "flying our gay flags."

[Sakura Leic]

Ugh yeah I don't blame you guys for not wanting to put up with that [parasitic bomb].  Some people just don't want to understand and accept things.  Again my condolences for having it go down like that.

*pats back*

[Amatiramisu]

He's a dick and not worth losing sleep over.

When you put it that way... Argh.

That sucks

I just dealt with someone on a friend's status regarding those dumb bathroom laws and I mentioned how it seems that cis people who don't exactly look the part getting arrested for using the bathroom and he just... didn't... get it. We tried to get through to him but he just didn't get it. Then he claimed it was okay if a random homeless person got arrested (and it's okay for them to [parasitic bomb] themselves) but not for a person using their requisite bathroom?

Yeah my friend and I both stopped after that. Then this moron messaged my friend and was like WELL FINE LETS NOT BE FRIENDS BECAUSE YOU OBVIOUSLY DON'T GAF.

So my friend unfriended him. And then this moron complained about my friend unfriending them?

Some people are just too dense regarding these issues.

[Quickman]

And then my mom called me to tell me that my aunt is terminal.

[Sakura Leic]

Ugh I'm so sorry.

[Dr. Wily II]

And then my mom called me to tell me that my aunt is terminal.

Goddarnit. *hugs*

[Blue Valkyrie]

And then my mom called me to tell me that my aunt is terminal.

I'm so sorry Quicky. 

[Quickman]

I'm still trying to process it.

[Amatiramisu]

What the [tornado fang] is going on?

I can only offer my condolences, but I am stunned.

[Quickman]

Long-standing infection that's shutting down her organs.

[ViperAcidZX]

My god, I'm so sorry for, Quickie. You have my deepest condolences. As for my situation...

[spoiler=some clarification]So I was able to chuck the gun I found under by brother's bed to winds and hope for the best, but I found something.

1) It's was BB gun, not a real gun that can hurt/kill people.
2) Said BB gun looks like it's in a bad shape with half of looks like it's gonna break apart with enough force.
3) The BB gun looks more like a rifle than a shotgun.

Regardless, I'm sick of my mom bitching about how petty and irresponsible my twin brother is time after time. I really don't want to hear any of this negative bullshit from her anymore because it's getting old and she repeats that same nonsense rather than actually do some actual disciplining.[/spoiler]

I need one more Gold award in TimeSplitters FP's Arcade Leagues before I can say I'm done with that part of the game.

I keep getting screwed out of that Gold award by a combination of a brutal time limit, crappy spawn points and God-Moding AI.

I know this isn't anywhere near as big a deal as other posts here, but.....it's frustrating.

[Mirby]

My sunburns are upsetting me D:

[Sakura Leic]

I think a few of these can help.

Why are all the good jobs so far away from my area? I cannot find a ride to take me where I want to go.

[Phi]

I need a job so I can spoil my future niece.
