When was Ellen Page snarky? Because like the snarky actress these days is Aubrey Plaza or like Anna Kendrick's Twitter while Ellen Page is like who

Pretty much in every movie she was in that predates Plaza and Kendrick.

I mean she was snarky in Juno and Super to a lesser extent than Juno. Smart People maybe but everyone in that movie was the worst. I get what the idea was but Ellen Page is more of a dramatic actress than an out and out snarky one.

She's both. I mean Zooey pretty much predates all three of them and I think does the snark pretty well; though Plaza's deadpan delivery is hard to beat.

Customers...

Had one today that verbally abused the living fuck out of me, called me a rude bastard, told me I didn't deserve my job, that I had no manners, that he was the customer I should be serving and for me to take my attention away from him to quickly ask another customer if they were alright was the most disgusting act he had ever witnessed. The other person had a 5 second question that he wanted answered... Which product is better? It was only a $5 item.

Worse part was it flared up my anxiety. The fact that I was publicly humiliated in front of customers and co-workers (even if they understood I was 100% in the clear), the personal verbal attacks, and me constantly trying to apologise and tell him I'm sorry for 'somehow' offend him. I know many people here would say that I should have told him to get lost or even piss off, but that is not how our business runs. We have the motto of being friendly and helpful, and it is part of a multi-billion dollar corporation that believes in this motto.

So yay... Thank you sir for giving me an anxiety attack because you, the amazing individual, failed to see that the helpful worker that was trying to offer you service also deals with depression.

Why am I always the one that ends up copping the most ridiculous amount of bullshit from people?

Reading is essential. I had a whole conference call of idiots that didn't bother to read my instructions. Apparently, it's n the category of 'common sense.' Not so common, as it turns out.

That moment when you can't find your key FOB, try to turn on the car in frustration more than our of any real expectations only for it to turn on.

Still no FOB to be found.

To both of you, real talk incoming from the dude with a Hello Kitty profile pic:

The problem with this is that problems aren't weakness, nor is seeking help or assistance to deal with it. All ignoring it or bottling up does is degrade effectiveness by not addressing core problems. Believe me, I've been there enough to realize that it's better to just rip the bandaid off and deal with shit before it starts getting worse. Bottling it up and lying about it did nothing except get me deeper into shit creek, so I decided to grab the bull by its nuts and get the help to deal with it. If you don't, then you get into impacting personal performance, which gets into organizational/school/work/career performance, and you don't want degraded operational effectiveness. It just spirals like the shittiest roller coaster you can imagine.

You need to expect your friends to start helping because they're your battle buddies. And they will, because they give a shit: I guarantee it. They're the guys and gals who will fucking drag your ass out of a burning car or some shit, and your wellbeing (physical, mental, whatever) is more important to them than you might realize. If they'll make you soup or some shit while you're sick and tell you the work you missed that day, then you can know they'll address some of the more lowkey invisible issues (or find someone who can.) But nobody can ask about it if they don't have that intel that lets them know something's wrong.

If someone else is bothering you with something, talk to them about it and settle it there instead of accepting it. If you think they won't understand, come through with a well-planned way to make them see your perspective. Most people are rational, they'll understand. If they don't, escalate it higher in a rationally proportional measure. My roommate wouldn't clean his shit so we talked about it and now he does and stops making me do everything. You just have to try.

TLDR, it helps to stop cheating yourself and just go over the top. It might take a lot of energy and it might be unpleasant and it might be scary as all fuck, but it will solve (or at least start to solve) whatever's actually causing these problems. They tell me the quickest way out is through, wether it be jumping off of a thirty foot tower into the water (I'm scared shitless of heights, by the way) or something personal like talking to my girlfriend about trust in the relationship. It's scary and it takes huge amounts of effort to do, but it's worth it in the end.


Aaron's tl;dr version: Join the army. Make it Washington's problem.

I hate seeing grown men who generally act intelligent to still be using gamergate laced arguments to critisize game reviews or opinions. Especially in 2016.

Never realized that being in the Air Force meant that I would be confined to using whichever bullshit useless network provider is on whatever base I happen to be at.

Boingo seems to be the only thing available here, and they suck dick!

I have been incapable of playing any of my games for the last three days because of this bullshit! And I have no choice in picking another internet provider! Fuck Boingo!

Sounds like it's time to do another 900 hour shift of repairing planes because nothing better to do.

Or brasso all the door knobs until they become as bright as a super-nova with the reflected light.

I guess I have a sign on me that says: "Look at me, I need Jesus!"
In the past two weeks I have been approached by 5 people that wanted to invite me to church, bible study, christian club etc. Its getting harder to politely decline and move on with my life. They always come at me when I'm alone on campus. Its like they prey on vulnerability.
