His blog is full of horrible entitled crap about how he respects Japanese homeless people because they don't beg. At one point he follows up with a story about a totally selfish Western homeless girl who wanted a whole dollar instead of the quarter he gave her. e: The eyes on that chibi thing are free-floating in front of its hair.

Jeek posted:Also, an intentionally awful vampire romance novel. I don't think anyone as self-aware as RazorBunny would write four novels of such quality in a row. I did start working on an equally horrible gay werewolf romance set in Rio, but I never got anywhere on it. I'm tempted to post the Amazon link to my terrible novel (I published it via Kindle Direct)...it's under my real name, but it wouldn't take very much internet detective work to find that out anyway.

In a couple weeks it's the MCM Expo in London, (MCM - Movies, Comics, something else) and though I'm not an anime fan I did go last year to take pictures of furries and other strange people. Looking through the fan events during this years convention I saw: quote:Event: MCM Hetalia People world conference How do you even pronounce that name? Is it a name? I don't know.

He's Jimmy Choo's son. This Jimmy Choo.

Mad Hamish posted:After going through this thread I realize that the people I hung out with in high school were far less hosed up than I thought they were. That's a game of mental chicken you could've been playing there. If you've ever known someone who was off like Denise (or even to a lesser extent) and they just unloaded all of their crazy on you, that's just a lot of crap for your brain to handle. It might make for some good - if not great - stories down the road, but at the time that it's happening your brain can pop. It's very emotionally draining to deal with people like that. I have mad respect for psychologists who train themselves to be able to handle this stuff, give constructive criticism, and still be alright when they come home for the day. The reaction of most people when they encounter folks like Denise is "run away!!!" for a very good reason - my girlfriend, despite liking anime, fled when three girls in her high school started referring to each other by the names of the main characters in Gundam Wing - but not everyone has that choice... I'm impressed that the OP came out ahead after dealing with her crappy situation in high school and Denise at the same time. Whatever rough stuff you're going through right now uglynoodles, I'm sure that everyone posting in this thread hopes that you get through it all OK and emerge from it for the better. I'm also sure that I'm repeating something people have been saying ad nauseum, but it's worth stating again. I came to this thread for the title, but stayed for the stellar writing.

Funny enough, lots of poor people think the same thing, but that's more a combination of media telling us we can be anything we ~*~DrEaM~*~ and Objectivist rich people telling us the same.

Even trust fund babies usually get cut off by their late twenties if they don't bother finishing college and using their connections to get a corporate job. (Or, if female, marrying a rich guy and becoming a housewife, which is also hard work.) Once you're in corporate America, you will be working hard. If you're incompetent you'll just be working hard on things that don't matter until the next "rightsizing".

No one is saying they don't work 'hard', just that the amount of work is in no way connected to the amount of money or power earned. Not even close. As a general rule if you're rich you got there through a combination of circumstance, connections, family and social structure, in addition to whatever you personally do. People in almost every single career path work 'hard', not just the richest. Even if you want to argue all of those things away, you still have the economic and educational systems that allow you to get that knowledge, which aren't open to a shitload of people. This is super duper off topic though, so; I know a girl who is incredibly into these doll things and she has admitted she looks at lots of them in a sexual way. Her room is filled wall to wall with these creepy, dead-eyed monsters. Any time she links me to some more dolls she wants or whatever and I mention that they look like 5 year olds, all she does is say how they all have huge tits and hips so obviously they are adults. She's really attractive and smart, and all of this came on only recently, relatively speaking. I've been watching this slow descent into Insane Animu Time for the past year or so. I think it's at the point where I have to start cutting her off though, if she posts one more bloody Doll article on her facebook, I think I'll end up on some list somewhere.

I think the best part about this thread is reading about the people who have no limits and comparing them to those just-barely-tolerable ones we know. (There is this girl in my Japanese class who chose to do a report on Japanese samurai in fiction just so she could put Prince of Tennis pictures in her Powerpoint presentation, and she fangirls it quite a bit before/after class, but to her credit, my Japanese class is an advanced one and she doesn't act as though she's married to the underage animu boys. I want more tales of less limits.

He takes all sorts of poo poo for granted, like the fact that he never had to pay for his college education which is what keeps a HUGE number of people from getting better jobs. This is pretty typical of kids of rich people, really. It isn't just this weirdo.

It's really easy to raise a kid who thinks money doesn't matter if you're that kind of ritch. There's this one guy in my dorm this year, let's call him Bob. Now, Bob's dad is an anesthesiologist, something he's reminded us about twice a week. In his first semester, he only signed up for three classes and dropped out of one. Anytime he has to do work he makes an obvious fuss about it, probibly because it cuts into time he could be grinding for something in Guild Ward. He's the American dream gone totally wrong. Both Bob and Choos fathers had to work their asses off to get rich, and both their sons are entitled assholes. Bob is also afraid of partys and masturbates in front of his roommate, so these might just be two very extreme cases.

Yeah, you don't have to be a Danny-Choo-level loser to be an entitled rich kid. I may have mentioned this guy in the thread before, but during my freshman year of college, I lived in the suite next to a scion of the hyper-rich who was convinced that, since students on financial aid were receiving the same education he was for less money, they were all literally stealing from him. (Keep in mind that this was an expensive private college with need-based financial aid, so almost everyone had at least a little; in fact, I think Richie Rich here was the only person I ever met who had no financial aid.) His proposed solution was to have the college get enough subsidy deals with private interests that everyone could get a free/cheap education, and while that wasn't as bad an opinion as he could have held, it was still amazingly out of touch with reality. Strangely, this wasn't the most awkward conversation I ever had with him -- that would be the one where he looked at someone's Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets movie poster and exclaimed how hot Hermione was. "She's 12? So what?" ... Maybe this guy actually was a Danny-Choo-level creep, in retrospect.

The Vulcan Lady Says it all really. Christina was convinced she was a Vulcan. The summer was a particularly hot one and one day, everyone was complaining about the heat. Christina: "I don't mind, it reminds me of home." Everyone: "Oh, are you from the South or the Southwest?" Christina: "Oh no, from there" And she pointed to the sky. Everyone: "!" I wasn't present for this conversation, but I later worked with her. In real life, she was a gossip who liked to be the bearer of bad news and (sadly) had ended up at the end of a divorce responsible for her husband's debts and rather than trying to fight it, worked constantly to try and pay them off.

Poison Cake posted:The Vulcan Lady  Here's the next segment. Sorry it took a while, I had to put it all together. I'm figuring out how to use my tablet to draw on Photoshop so these comics are digital! Yay learning! Energy Balls As I mentioned earlier, Alan was a firm believer in his own “magickal” prowess and excellence. Being in the Pagan Club, I was sitting right in the middle of a dimension of delusions. Every single “serious” member of the club believed in “energy”, specifically the kind of energy you can manifest physically using your super saiyan powers. Alan wasn't even the first person to bring it up to me, people's conversations in the Pagan Club almost always gravitated towards energies. Had a fight with your girlfriend and broke up? Well it was obviously because your energy was earth based and hers was fire based, ultimately resulting in her being a destructive force in your relationship. Welp, should have listened to the Pagan Club members who warned you about this obvious obstacle right off the bat. Of course, I had yet to see for myself an example of actual energy summoning. I had just heard about it offhandedly from members who talked about it so matter-of-factly that it was starting to really pique my curiosity. I was “educated” by Alan and two other prominent members, Green Bob and another batshit crazy lady who still plagues my Facebook (we'll call her Teresa). Now, I mentioned earlier that people in the Pagan Club believed that Green Bob was spiritually a tree (hence his nickname). This strangely serene, 6-foot-tall redhead despite being treated like some sort of enlightened god was legitimately a super nice guy, really. He was so chill, people around him could not help but feel chill too. Teresa on the other hand was very, very, unstable. She was one of those polyamorous pagans but the real awful side of her was based on how she would talk awful poo poo about people behind their backs. Nobody was safe, friend or not.  One night I was sitting with the three of them in the clubspace and of course, the subject of energy came up. I chose this moment to express my lack of understanding about the whole deal. Teresa puffed out her chest and stepped up to the plate to explain the intricacies of this hallowed subject. Teresa: “Well, you know that everyone has energy. Without it, you wouldn't be able to feel happy or sad or whatever, kay? Kay. That's why when a psy-vamp is around, you feel tired and depressed. That's them sucking the energy out of you, kay?”  Alan: “And why we forbid them from entering this clubspace.”  Green Bob: (sits serenely in the corner) Me: “Okay, that makes sense, I guess.” Teresa: “Kay so, everyone's energies are different, like they have different elements.” Alan: “Mine's fire”  Teresa: “Yeah and I'm air, and Green Bob's obviously earth” Green Bob: (smiles and nods ethereally) Me: “But, how would you know? How can you tell what element your energy is?” Teresa: “When we make energy balls, kay?” This meant to say that when they conjured these energy balls, anyone would be able to feel the type of energy they produced. Of course they decided to demonstrate right then and there. Teresa was the first to do this. She sat on her knees, hovered her palms over each other, closed her eyes and began breathing heavily. Not much to see, but eventually she murmured, “Now stick your hand in”. I was supposed to stick my hand in between her beefy mitts. What could I do? Three other people looked at me expectantly, one of them my boyfriend. So, like any curious, peer-pressured person, I slipped my hand in the space between her palms and felt...nothing.  Me: “Um, I don't feel anything” Teresa: “Exactly! The air I'm generating between my palms is preventing you feeling my natural body heat. Like a cooling system! It's great, isn't it?”  Alan: “My turn” As expected, Alan's energy conjuring stance was much more exaggerated and Dragonball Z-like. He took on the same position as Teresa only while holding his palms parallel to each other, he stuck his elbows into the air as if this took incredible strain. His face started to turn red. His breathing became faster and deeper while his eyelids were crushed together with the sheer force of his effort. His face shifted to purple.  Finally he let out this incredible release of air and said “There, now feel it” Oh I felt it alright, except this time, his palms radiated with the sweat and heat from the obvious strain he put himself through. His response was, “Well, that's because I'm a fire element”. I had seen enough. Thankfully Green Bob didn't feel the need to give his example. I guess his magical element was giving people back rubs.  *Edited cause I'm an idiot and forgot the last sentence*

Hahaha! It's always poo poo like this with people who believe they manifest energy aligned with the elements, no? I was once told by someone who thought he was psyonic vampire that it was an effort trying not to take energy from the auras around him, then, when asked to cup my hands so he could "feel what sort of color my aura was," (and I did so, like a blithering idiot) after sticking his hands in, his eyes glinted and he almost licked my hand, were it not for my maneuvering it away. His response? "Gold. Warm. Mmmmm, the best kind. You'd taste DELICIOUS."

My Digimon boyfriend believed it, and it seemed like it came from DBZ. However I do remember wanting to learn it (yes and it wasn't just curiosity, I was pretty gullible) and it was his Mom who was giving lessons to him, me, and another girl on their back porch. She didn't get it from DBZ, so there's a possibility it comes from somewhere else (Isn't that what you're supposed to be doing in Tai Chi? Or at least pretending to be doing?) But the more I remember that hosed up family she could have been pretending to be very knowledgeable about something her son had already told her about.
