What's Bothering You?

[Iris_T]

Kinda bothered about 'adult' stuff, wasn't much happy on my current job and after closing for a while because the quarantine I have to go back tomorrow...is not the worst, but even before the virus it wasn't easy to find a new job so...meh.

Edit: Okay, actually I have a better one to post.
Have you ever just realized you are really bad at a game? Why am I doing this Splatfest?

I just lost all respect in the moderators. I written a valid argument on why divided governments are bad and a valid reasoning on why the government couldn’t take care of the COVID-19 pandemic, but it got deleted without warning, and it was not a rule violation. I’m not going to write that argument again to avoid anymore controversy, but I am angry at the staff.

EDIT: I just learned what was actually wrong. Yeah, I’ll go ahead and admit that I have attacked the other party for adding things that have nothing to do with the pandemic (I also admit reading too much TownHall, a news publication more conservative than Fox News and far more trustworthy than Breitbart), but I still don’t like seeing posts getting deleted out of the blue. To avoid posting another argument, I’m going to stay away from the thread.

They are in the odd position of favoring hospitality over hostility. You could benefit from learning proper debate etiquette. You're not the only one.

ahh what a feeling to be disgusted

Yeah, I admit being rather harsh to the Democrats, but what is actually true is that they are adding things that have nothing to do with the pandemic and rather for their self-interests. There’s no way they could pass in the Senate when the Republicans are in control. Granted, they will agree on the COVID-19 aid. What they’re not going to agree on is the other stuff. And that’s why we’re not getting any relief. I was right to point this out as this is a bad way to handle the pandemic, but the way I did it was rather uncalled for.

Now if there was a lesson to show, it would be two things:

1. If you’re dealing with an emergency situation, do not try to add stuff that have nothing to do with the emergency or stuff that nobody could compromise on.
2. If an emergency plan is written, you got to accept what was written, whether or not it agrees with you.

Came here to honestly say almost the same thing. Although I do think that we should be cutting ourselves some slack, I don't know about you but all my normal uni life just stopping and the only thing that's left is being on my own and doing way more assignments than usual to compensate for all the missed seminars and normal exams is really grating. But I could have been a lot more productive these last few weeks, and I'm afraid I will fail some stuff now

I'm sorry to hear that that sounds worse than the situation I'm in.

We kinda continued on as normal, but our mid semester break was pulled forward, which meant that all the assignment due dates were pushed back making a **** tonne of stuff due in a small time period. Pulling the break forward didn't give us a break at all as our lecturers were emailing us 20 times a day, like "hey I know we're on break but heres some stuff to do as I'm sure you'll have time on your hands hope you're doing well!!". Yeah bro I was doing okay UNTIL you emailed me while I'm trying to mentally recover from a global pandemic. We didn't even get to hand in the first lot of assignments before they started talking about the second lot of assignments haha.

like you I just haven't had the mental willpower to pull through I hope you do well with your studies and I'm sure we'll both pull through

--

some other random things bothering me:

1. Work - far out I miss my old manager. She definitely had some faults, but I miss being able to chat with her about anything and having a good time working with her. She was so nice to me and became a good communicator before she left. My new manager is MIA half of the time as she's more admin focused rather than actually running our department on a day by day basis. Yet they're enforcing what I call the "zero-mistake policy", where if you make a mistake you get a written/verbal warning. I hate this mentality so much. We're all human, and we all make mistakes. Even our best, most efficient workers in the department make mistakes. Yet they'll pull you up on some mistake you made 4 weeks ago and be like "can you imagine the RISK you're putting us at?? This this and this could've happened"...yeah bro I realise that, but why are you only pulling me up on something from 4 weeks ago now, if you notice a mistake notify me then and there and I can fix it and prevent having a meeting about it?? Some mistakes are literally so so easy to spot, how do people not notice it?

2. Looks like I'm taking the lead on this group assignment ffs. At least my teammates seem pretty reliable. I'm not waiting up til 3 am again waiting for stuff to be done though, I'm over that.

ya’ll mean to tell me that the guy who sings this song got arrested for child p*** and i’m just finding out now? this is one of my favourite songs of all time bro c’mon :/

Whaaaaaat!? I've listened to this band for quite a few years but NEVER knew about this! D:

This guy didn't do some of the actual albums like EOTGM and Dead Days, right?

Six hours later, I have to say that I’m still mad at the staff over deleting my argument. I was rather tempted to make further more insults against the moderation team as a whole and make other disrespectful comments, but that’s going to land me in a lot more trouble. It’s okay to criticize the moderation team and their actions, but to outright be disrespectful is a whole different thing. It’s normal for people to get angry when their posts get deleted for no reason, but to get disrespectful afterwards is not okay. I’m going to let it go for now, drop the subject on “the argument, the bias, and how the staff handled it” (quotations intended for clarification), and move on, but I still don’t like it. Never have I ever written an argument for the sole purpose to annoy others, but I admit that I am biased and close-minded. I’ll reconsider how I debate here on this forum, but if you guys want to know why there isn’t any relief, it’s because of compromising failure.

Eeee thank you!!! ;v;

My sleeping schedule...

I'm concerned about the well being of a peachy fish.

 

[SarahsNY]

I have all the time in the world, yet no motivation to do anything. I can draw, write, learn a new skill, continue work on various personal projects... but I just... don’t. I hate depression and I hate quarantine.

If you wish to discuss this then please make a thread in Contact the Staff instead of airing your grievances publicly, thank you.

Hopefully it heals fast. Sunburn is the worst.


The large wound in my hand has formed a horrible yellow scab. It's not infected, but it's still unsightly.
