AWKWARD ZOMBIE

But

You always laugh when I make fart noises :(

DO I, TATZEL?
DO I?
(yeah yeah I do)

I want to stab myself in the head with a rusty spoon every time someone shares an article from The Federalist Papers on Facebook.

"Obama wants to change the way the Fourth of July is celebrated FOREVER"

REALLY?

I feel the same way but with blog posts by Matt Walsh from TheBlaze.

He is the ultimate in "bitter superchristian bigotry".

But aren't random articles from sketchy sites the ultimate in trustworthy reporting and unbiased sources?

I just had to cover my old shift at work and now I remember why I was rustled all the time last year.

I saw a top ten video about "the worst types of board gamers" and... yeah, it got me thinking.
I think it's pretty bad that trying to get my family to finally understand even just one aspect of a board game feels just as hard as it was trying to do the same with other kids when I was in elementary.
I think worst of all are people who make assumptions about the rules. At least, they make assumptions whenever they're able to be wrong about it. With actual parts of the game they'll need to be told ABSOLUTELY COMPLETELY EXACTLY how it works, no extremely probable or even practically 100% probable guesses here. ("You can draw two cards, either face-up or face-down, but if you draw a face-up wildcard then that's the only one you can draw." "Oh, so you could draw face-down and then draw a wild." "...")
But as long as they're able to be wrong about it, anything's fair game. And then they'll say "Oh, I didn't know" when you tell them that, yes, in fact, that thing that was not ever stated, suggested, or implied in any way whatsoever at any point in history is not actually part of the rules. And they'll say it in a tone that implies they feel like a victim. A victim of not being told that the thing they silently made up was wrong.
And usually what they make up is seemingly the result of them asking themselves "What is the least likely way this game works? What is the least likely way any game ever would work? What is the worst possible choice a game designer could ever make?"

I'm pretty sure I posted the worst case of this that any human being could ever make in this thread, the post about my cousin and I playing Wii Party U (not a board game but same idea). Thinking back I can't believe I posted that case in this thread and didn't "upgrade" it to being a post in the things that piss you off thread because holy shit. Holy shit.

Power got knocked out briefly at Dad's from a small storm blowing through. Power came back on after a few seconds, but the wi-fi went down indefinitely, with no service available until tomorrow at the earliest. Had to abort that visit early.

i have decided to give my two weeks tomorrow and i'm terrified

I got spontaneously logged out a moment ago, and for the past few hours AZ has been running bizarrely slow for me.

I have these random moments where I briefly see, read, or even just think something that makes me slightly anxious, but it isn't important enough to remember, so I forget what it was but the anxious feeling remains. So I'm left wondering what I was worrying about 5 minutes ago and hoping it wasn't something important.

It's July 8th.

But I can't get my AP scores until 8 A.M.

Went to the therapist today during school time, I was there for only 15 minutes and then I was dismissed again, geez.

Sigh.

Like a week ago me and my brother were doing weird shit brothers do like insulting the length of each others' legs and demonstrating feats of strength (surprise piggyback rides, dragging each other across the floor, etc.). I ended up getting a carpetburn scrape thing on my elbow and it has been slowly healing and it itches SO BAD OH MY GOD I want to just chop my arm off to be freed.
