My parents are being assholes?

Don't laugh it off, you'll look weak and pigeon hole yourself into a position of perpetually inflicted cruelty thinly veiled as manly jestings. Don't make it okay to be insulted.

Just ignore people. Not worth the time to give a shit or respond.

Edit: Assuming you're what you say you are and not trolling.
 
There is nothing "weak" about completely dispelling an insult by turning it into a joking matter.
 
I don't think making it easier to publish is exactly destroying the industry, and god forbid someone upsets the old titans of the publishing industry - you know, the ones with the prior monopoly.

Multiple publishers distributing to multiple outlets is a monopoly? :err:

Maybe Amazon treats its employees poorly, maybe they don't, but some anecdotes from a few disgruntled former employees aren't proof positive. Based on some of the unrealistic demands I've read in some places, no company treats their employees well.

Nah dude, I'm cutting off your truism right there. Educate yourself on their employee practices if you want to have this conversation. They are exceptionally oppressive, including monitoring employee's every step with digital monitors to track the number of steps employees take from point A to point B. This isn't one crazy foreman, this is their business model. The goal is to compel workers to go as fast as possible during what are often excessively long shifts in giant warehouses that can often become severely hot. Heck, there was one location in Allentown, PA where it was over 100 degrees in the building and instead of paying for AC to be put in, they simply had ambulances wait outside the building to take away the employees who passed out.

But yeah you're right, what employer treats their employees well? I mean I only get a 30 minute lunch break :Smug:
 
so were you just dumb enough to say that nobody here takes me seriously?

Do you think there's a single person here that takes you seriously? Let's see if anyone comes up then. So far I've only seen people telling you that you were an idiot. And I'm not listing them it's like 3 people every day. Let's see someone from the other group then. Who here takes UltimateApathy seriously people? Go through some of his older posts if you need to make sure.

You just posted a serious post about whether people take me seriously, hahaha

Monitoring workers working is hardly oppressive, and I haven't hard of anything over 12 hours. You know who works 12 hour shifts? A *ton* of people. So less than 12 isn't excessive.

The AC issue could provide an example of terrible practice, but I would be interested to know more about why there wasn't an AC. Seems hard to believe it would be just because "well fuck those guys".
 
You have to admit, UA's efforts to bolster his own self-esteem are praise-worthy. At least he's never had a breakdown like the OP.

That said, I take anybody that resides in a complete fantasy world very seriously. Seriously. You don't what those nutjobs might do.
 
I'm done making threads here...... don't ever fucking say something on this thread please so i can stop seeing it. i get it it was my fault being a bitch but please I'm tired of seeing it.
 
I'd be inclined to say ITP is someone pretending to be something different but the commitment to immaturity is bizarre.
 
did we ever work out if profanity was a troll (and, if so, the greatest of all trolls)

or metal paddy for that matter

i'm almost certain i discovered the latter was one of my buddies being a dick but i can't remember for sure.
 
UltimateApathy is fucking hilarious, that's all I can say. I hate him and love him at the same time.
