Mini-Rants Thread

Why is it, in games, when attempting a task (like completing a difficult mission/quest/dungeon/level/whatever) that on the first attempt I can get about 3/4 of the way to completing whatever it is; but on all subsequent attempts I am completely s**t and fail to come even remotely close to achieving my goal?
Also: why is it that when I replay games that I had no problem with when I was like six years old, now, I'm also completely s**t at them?!
I beat Super Mario Bros 3 on my uncle's SNES when I was like five, why can't I now?!

Is there a part of my brain that has no f**king work ethic and screws me on effort after the first try?

 

You must train, train, and train harder grasshopper or you will loose your ninja skills over time turn way now do not follow the path of slackassness as I have.

 

Im sick of copying my stuff from my external drive to another one so I can reformat it NTFS. It says 19 hours remaining now but keeps changing as low as 1 hour.
Im also sick of fat32 not been able to store ps2 games which is where the above problem started.....

I hate learning that my 2yr old is out smarting me.

 

...
*SO TEMPTED TO SAY SOMETHING*!!

 

i hate that often parents dont give a child a choice of religion

 

Ja fuck you goat! lets see another 2yr old shut off the power to the house with out disturbing the main breaker.

 

I fucking hate it when I bite into a piece of pizza and all the cheese comes off with that bite. Stay on and wait your turn god dammit.

 

I know, it blows. If I wanted sauce pizza, I would have ordered it damn it!

 

OMG YES. People just expect their child to believe in the same things.

 

Children do believe in the same things, it's just when they get into their preteens and teens they want to go away from anything their parents had.

 

I've never really shared the same beliefs as my parents and older brother. I'm just too logical to find something such as religion to be plausible in any sense. I'm tolerant of course though. I have religious friends that I like, and I would prefer to keep them as my friends.

This is the most annoying message. A serious detriment in the Forum Games, Jokes, and Random forum.

The problem would be the hell I would go through if I ever admitted or acted against the religion my family is. You have no idea.

 

See, that's the problem. People expect you to be tolerant of their religion, but most won't be tolerant of yours. Religion is complicated, often backwards, and it creates unrealistic expectations.

 

Seriously?! That's got to be something to be proud of though, right?

 

My plan is to wait until I'm 18 then move somewhere and forget about it.

 

I've been atheist for the past few years. I don't dare tell anybody but my sister (who shares the same views) since my parents are very religious and honestly wouldn't understand or be tolerant of my decision.

 

I hate all the atheists that are like, "I'm right, you're wrong, and I'm going to make a big deal about it."

 

I just don't believe in any god. I'm tolerant though.

 

You two must be the two blasphemers who made me cry in elementary when they told me Santa wasn't real.
