WGYG? Standard Ramblings Thread.

Ah, I see that now, sorry about that mate.

 

[GTMail]

I searched your PSN ID and your YouTube account popped up.

Right now, I don't give a 🤬 about the other proof you've given us. It says right there that you're only 16.
Assuming that you're J. Cahill from Aslan Realty Group (I don't see anyone else bearing anything similar to your PSN ID/Gamertag), you joined ARG in 2001. If you're 16 now then you would've been around 5 years old when you joined.

Give.

It.

Up.

Ah I guess you foound my step borther's account as he likes to play Call of Duty. You can check my posts because I've said previously on this site that I don't play Forza too often because he's always on MW3. I'll try to find it for you.👍

EDIT found it: I have to make it this week. I like that car and love the track. See you guys Saturday! Oh and the constant COD playing is my 16 year old brother that lives with me sometimes. So please don't feel like I'm ignoring the race invites.

I'm still a rough 161 hours and 47 minutes aways from finally getting to play Diablo III. My biggest gear grinder right now.

I think there's a certain amount of animosity between the Bronies and anti-Bronies, and I think they see anyone who associates with the anti-Bronies as unfriendly to them. It's possible that if you open up and try to become more friendly with the Bronies (as if you're not doing that now), that they'll be more accepting. Try to make them understand what happened.

To be honest, I don't think that is it. I don't think they have a problem with Bronies interacting with Anti Bronies. I think they are just a little unfamiliar with having someone who was in my supposed Anti-brony position who has completely turned around to become one. I mean, I don't feel I exactly had a warm welcome to the GTP Bronies from some of the guys who had been there from the start, nor do I feel I have had a warm stay. But I'm not leaving, no. When I find my place in the community and start contributing more to the music area of it. Maybe then they'll realize there isn't a part of me who thinks that the show is wrong.

Ah, the MLPRG. The group I created as a joke to get people to stop posting about ponies in GTP's good ol' WGYG thread. Got to admit, I acted the part well. Enough to make W&N think I was serious .

As I said in one of the GTP premo threads:
"I'm not really a fan of the whole MLP thing, but people can watch, follow, or get off to what ever they want to."

Anyway, I do take responsibility for the fact that you are perceived negatively, though there's little if anything I can do to rid of those perceptions.

I think W&N has always taken it seriously. Because as we've learned in a recent thread on GTP, it's a VERY SERIOUS problem. It's taking over GTP. Except for one place... The forums.

Ah, so you keep the porn in a hidden folder. Smart dude.

So you've found me out have you?

Y'all are correct with this assumption. I've tried to get rid of my "anti" persona*, in fact I talk to Skython regularly, and Dylans10 on occasion.

Wooo, me!

*On GTP. I'm still keeping a "villain" persona on here, I love it.

That wold explain why you're part of W&N's anti Group.

I really would like to know why you think this.

And trust me, your situation is no where near as unique as you seem to think. Turn-arounds are so common it's surprising when I find a Brony who didn't start out being against the idea. If the Brony community as a whole, including the majority of the GTP Thread, weren't so accepting of people who have a change of heart we'd be so much smaller than we are today. There are no negative feelings about the fact you were part of an anti-brony group, at least not from any of the major contributors. Trust me on that.




Anyway, I've been meaning to post over here more often since I made this account, so:

Some of the people I work with lately have been grinding my gears. I can usually tune out people who say stupid things, but other than 2 cashiers I almost never hear anything better than stupidity. And the fact that most of these people seems to give no :censored:s about their job really doesn't help. And being payed the same amount as these people who don't seem to put any effort whatsoever into their work combined with that stupidity is enough to give me serious headaches.

Well, that and the fact they packed the front end of the store with florescent lights which just bother my eyes. Days when the couple really stupid people aren't there I'm fine, but when they are... Some days I actually just leave because I can't stand being around them. I'll be going into the Coast Guard soon, so even if I still get idiots, at least the ones who can't do their job won't be around for long.

 

[Skython]

Thanks, mate. That's all I needed.

And about your work situation. I reckon people in your case should be paid more than them. My brother works for my dad, and while my brother works hard throughout almost the entire day, the other guys (who get paid more) are slacking half of the time and doing nothing. Or the lazy should be paid less. It's good to know there are still people who work hard no matter what their job is, but it's sad to know that there are people that don't really try.

I try when I'm interested. Other than that, well....

My reverse grinds all the time. It grinds my gears.

As to that, I can't get down to second and first anymore, unless my car's at rest. It grinds my gears.

Oh yeah, people paying more for cars in the auction house than what they're at the dealership, just so you won't get the cars for less, that also grinds my gears.

^This.

You know how many times I've put or or in a facebook message, only for the girl I'm messaging to wonder what the **** I am doing?

getting kick voted in EVERY room I go in, sometimes before I`ve even been on track!
WTF?

 

[itsbenjibrand]

Nevermind what I said earlier. Mods, delete this post! Please and thanks in advance.

My sister is strange... She suddenly decides she wants to play keyboard again... So I asked why, I presumed she is doing it for attention, because that's what she does... Then about 5 minutes later she comes in my room with the keyboard and putting it back saying, "I'll play it at midnight when you're not going to criticize me for copying you." Before I thought she was just doing it for attention, but this assumption that I think that she's doing it to copy me just makes me think that is what she's doing... All I said was, "What has sparked your re-interest in playing keyboard?"

EDIT: Youtube doesn't allow name changes? I want my age to be accurate for 🤬 sake! Remind me not to let someone start an account with your email, and then take over it (renaming it too).

 

[saskman1950]

Aah, you're in a worse situation than me. My dad is a good person, just sometimes when he feels stressed he gets a little mad. Though he took me being a Brony very well. He even watched an episode... And liked it.

Anyway, the smell I've created in here. I'm sorry to come off as immature (I know the mods don't like it). But I had baked beans on toast for dinner with sausages and cheese, and now I'm up at 12:41 AM farting and it smells really bad! And I have school in about 8 or so hours!

26:04:12

At dinner, my mother suddenly tells me, "I have a problem with you!" And then when I asked what it was she ignored me completely. I don't feel that I've done anything particularly wrong at home or at school. So what in all of Equestria is she on about? It's just annoying me.

Oh my, quarter of the posts in this thread are mine... Almost.

I hate the damn **** my brother is. He's just driven me to say my most hated word in the dictionary. Thank **** the site blanks them out. He comes into my room and he's going through everything. He's run through every pony thing and mocks me with it just in five minutes. I don't mind him not liking, it. As long as the **** wit doesn't say anything, but when he comes in here. Asks, "Why the **** are all these stupid ponies everywhere?" Then steals my MP3, rips out the headphones... TWICE!! Goes through everything, stands there mocking for about five minutes, and then leaves.

He insults my appearance, I don't care. I'm not a looker so I have no place to give a crap. My friends, I don't care. Their not his friends, so why does he care? But no, he insults the two things which are dearest to me. First, about a year ago or so, my vocal ability, and second, as of today, MLP. As pathetic as it sounds I feel strongly about it, and I really hate to see people mock it when they haven't watched it. Especially when I'm forced to consider them family. My brother is a complete ****ing arse wipe, and he deserves to live a life of pain and misery, if I happen to get somewhere good in life, I'm not helping him get up, he can find his own ****ing way because I'm not interested.

And to add, there is a thing I like to have, which is privacy. The only thing he didn't go through was my PC. He went through my drawers, my wallet, my MP3, my millions of bits of paper, every cabinet in sight. For the entire time I was fighting the strongest urges I have ever had to punch him, I didn't know where, just somewhere where it would hurt, and maybe damage his sorry body for life. Which he would deserve in every single aspect. I can't wait for the insensitive arse hole to move out, and be gone from my life.

I feel sort of bad for saying this now. I think he realized that what he did could have been hurtful, because he made a really nice offer. Because he is thinking of setting up a recording studio, and he wants me to work with him. So he said $75 for the TV, and it goes towards the mic. So I'm feeling a little bad now.

"you can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family"
My suggestion, toughen up, grind out a few years, then one day things will work out. It is hard having someone in the house not respecting your space....

Yeah, very true.

Anyway, New Zealand has the worst courier services I've seen. From experience it is possible for something to be purchased from America and have it sent over to NZ in the time something can get from Auckland, New Zealand to Wellington, New Zealand. If the services would get off their butts and bother trying to get things sent around the country... Without breaking them things would be a whole lot better. I live about 10 minutes drive from Upper Hutt city, and about 2 minutes from an area with quite a lot of houses. Yet they can't be bothered taking most parcels or packages over to us, we have to go over to the courier to get it ourselves. Except two minutes drive away and they're taking things out there.

They get paid to deliver packages, and they don't even do that properly. But this isn't the only problem with the services here. They also charge ridiculous prices for sending things. A kazoo, that's right. A kazoo, costs $1.50 to purchase... Yes? To get it sent half way across the country (keep in mind how small of a country NZ is). It's $7.90! I could buy 5 kazoos for the sending price alone! And a kazoo is simply tiny too, it's not like I'm asking for a large fragile bucket or something. The fact of the matter is that America can send something over to New Zealand without damaging it for the same price that you'd pay and time to wait to get something sent from New Zealand to New Zealand (and receiving a damaged product). Damn useless.

I want my kazoo, dammit. I may have solved the kazoo problem, they're probably sold at the music store... But even then, I can't get my slide whistle, because according to the site they don't have slide whistles. Which is the one I want most!
