The "Fuck my life" thread

wololo programming

Picture it: Sicily, 1942Angelo State University, San Angelo, Texas, 1994.
Our narrator, a young computer science major, has entered Hades.
His boulder, CPSC 211. Assembly Programming.
His unending hill, the venerable IBM 370.
His boat captain, the professor, reminded him of none so much as the weird little psychic lady from Poltergeist.
Ol' Blue could read files from hard disk, but still called them "stacks" of "cards".
Every time, he tried entering the carefully crafted programs.
Every time, when it came time to load his stack and execute, he'd wait for the printer to chug out the outputs, and instead of a neat row of numbers, it would come back with register dump and n to the millionth memory protection errors.
He could not figure this rock covered in hieroglyphs out, but he kept pushing it up the hill, only to see his GPA crushed again and again.
Alas, it was too early in the age of super nintendo, and IT (then known only as MIS) did not exist, except as a weird business school specialization.
So he cast aside his boulder, and renounced his degree path. Our narrator then called upon Tesla's angels, ascended out of Hades via a transfer to TV journalism, where he could play with wires and buttons all day.
And yet he saw himself sinking deeper into debt with graduation going farther and farther down the calendar.
And his weird Internet friends said "Come to Silicon Valley and learn UNIX, everyone needs a sysadmin."
A degree would have made it easier, even if it were in Creative Writing, and the job market today would eat me alive if I were just starting out, so my experience may not be directly relevant.

I did the responsible thing and canceled a hotel reservation because I didn't have enough in checking.
So the hotel charged my debit card with smaller and smaller amounts until they found one that would go through :/

WTF?

They were determined to get the cancellation penalty. When I worked at hotels I'd run the cancellation charge once, and if it got declined, I'd leave it alone.

@Crow: Deliver Every Luggage To Atlanta.

I'm still in the UK. Not only have I had to burn the slack day I built into my travel schedule working instead of dicking around the UK, but I'll probably have to extend my visit.

On the plus side, the dog killed the evil comforter without tainting the bedroom with the reek of powder.

Sweet

So my best friend Connor moved to this shitty ass place Dansville (it's really boring, like people hunt there for fun and shit (no offense to anybody who hunts but you really dont need a day off for it)) and it was kind of rough at first, especially since he has a girlfriend. For the most part she is okay even though i kind of hate her and they have been going out for a while which is cool because they're a great couple and all. Anyway at first she had a rough time with him moving because now he lives like 40 minutes away and shit but they were able to make it work, at least until recently...

Yesterday i was hanging out with my boo thang* who is friends with Connor's girlfriend and she let it slip that apparently my buddy's girlfriend has been cheating on him for the past couple weeks or so with other dude(s).

That shit made me really mad, but it's especially frustrating because they have been dating for over a year, and normally high school relationships don't last nearly half that so to think that she would just straight cheat on him was ridiculous, but i decided that in order to not cause a shitload of drama i would confront her and explain to her that she needs to cut this shit out

So today i confronted his girlfriend and she actually lied and told me she hasn't been fucking around with other guys, but this dude has been flirting with her way more than normal and she's okay with it because she's unhappy with Connor. So, because I knew this was a lie, I told her she needs to stop all of this messing around or whatever she is doing right the fuck now and if she does stop, I will not tell Connor for the sake of their relationship. She said okay, then literally 2 hours ago I get a call from my boo thang saying "why did you yell at Liv, she told (man she has been cheating with, who is actually an okay guy except for the whole being the cheatman) and then he told me to stay out of his business, you can't tell anybody because i told them i wouldn't." Also she told me apparently they went and fucked around RIGHT AFTER I TALKED TO HER ABOUT IT.

So now, here I sit, hiding the fact that the only girl my best friend has really ever dated is cheating on him with a dude who's not even a huge asshole, and I can either 1) tell my best friend and sit through months and months of an absolute shitfest of a break-up or 2) say nothing and PRAY TO THE HEAVENS that his girlfriend stops cheating on him before I lose my fucking mind

It's really not fun.

*plus side is i had sex with my boo thang which was fun

No, you do. You're completely wrong.

[Didzo]

Is a boo thang a type of fleshlight or something?

Probably, who let Turtle back in the forums anyways?

[rumsfald]

It's funny, you are all like "boo thang this" and "boo thang that," yet the simple concept of "bros before hos" seems to elude you.

Turtle, you are either a friend to your friend or you are not.

^this. That is all.

[Vongore]

If the girl says she's unhappy with your friend, why'd you try to save that relationship. It's not like they're married or something.

[A. Crow]

Delta- I am just in awe of how their reps will lie to you.

lol, high school relationships are hilarious shit, especially when they act like they're not in high school


time to grow up, boys and girls, reality is starting to set in and the first one there is the one who is held in high esteem

[Turtle]

do you guys not get the concept of "my best friends girlfriend is literally fucking another dude behind his back and i have to tell him this so it's probably a serious matter" like i get it you guys like neg repping me and trying to make jokes instead of helping whenever i come back but the "fuck my life" thread is probably one of the worst places you could do it.

LET ME ADDRESS EACH OF YOU WITH HAND CRAFTED RESPONSES

rummy i understand bros before hos but that doesn't mean i can never hang out with my honey boo boo and i like poontang so whatever, and honestly theyre a good couple this chick just has her "im actually an idiot help" moments and instead of just completely breaking their relationship (which is totally not my place), i am trying to mend it

darkchief you're one of the least mature people i've had the pleasure of meeting so you talking about growing up and facing reality is also hilarious shit

sogo you used that joke a year ago when i came back the first time.......

didzo i cant afford a fleshlight theyre way too expensive



usually when i come back to occasionally post i sit there hoping that most of you (except rummy he's okay) have left or gotten banned and only the people whose opinions i actually respect will reply to my dilemma, unfortunately that is never the case.






















didzos okay too i guess

[Neptune]

They may be a bunch of rude assholes, but they're right.

Sit him down, let him know you have a suspicion, let him work it out with his girlfriend.  Mature adults don't let other break ups affect their own relationships, so you can keep getting laid.  If she's not a mature adult and freaks out, then you're better off without her.  Jerk off in the meantime until you find someone else to help you jerk off.

Oh, and it helps to not refer to her as "boo".  Treating them like children makes them into children and it's not a good time.

[Vongore]

Problem number one:

So far all you've cared about is your state of getting laid with said friend of a friend. From what I can tell you don't give a shit about your friend's feelings.

Problem number two:

What Neptune said.

Problem number three:

Kids shouldn't have sex as their top priority

Problem number four:

If you consider yourself a friend of this guy, telling him is the best and reasonable option. Each day that goes by he thinks this girl likes him (Is it okay to say "love" when on highschool? At least I never did) and she's unhappy with him. What are you waiting for? Oh, yeah, see Problem number one.

Problem number five:

When people commit theirselves with each other, that's called a serious relationship. What Darkchief is saying is actually right. Highschool relationships aren't actual relationships by definition (except in like 5% of the cases) so trying to save something that never existed is beating a dead horse.

Problem number six:

Welcome to puberty

[rumsfald]

Let me be more clear.

The girl who is cheating on your guy friend is demonstrating no integrity.

The girl (your boo thang) who is friends of cheating girl wants you to keep your trap shut so her friend can keep riding strange cock. She is proving to you that strange cock is more important than trust or honesty. If you continue to stick your dick in that you risk getting a surprise STD from whatever other cocks she entertains when she is not in your sight. Probably when her and the other girl decide to threesome some dude who is not named Turtle.

You have nothing to do with mending any relationship but your own. You are not a matchmaker, and you are not a yenta. The only people who can mend that relationship are one person who cheats and lies and one person who thinks you have their back.

You have a choice to make. Either you value your friendship or you value keeping your dick wet.

EDIT: I hear you that you want people to take your situation seriously. Please, don't confuse the fact that I, and others, are being blunt as hell with the fact that we aren't being serious. I'm not wiser than you, I've just been around much longer and have had more opportunities to make many more mistakes.

[HeK]

I'm sorry, all I can think of in this thread is..


Turtle sex.

[Turtle]

whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa guys you have it all wrong. I get laid regardless, like my girl will probably be mad at me for talking to them about it but that will last about a day and thats it, like when i said my girl and his girl are friends i meant vague friends, not bffs till they die or anything. I am not at all concerned about the well-being of my penis in this scenario as long as it doesn't fall of or anything then i might be concerned. the problem is i don't want my friend to get hurt by just going up to him and telling him "she is cheating on you" without doing all i can to help in a better way.

Also can we stop this "oh its a highschool relationship so who gives a fuck" thing? Just because we are in highschool doesn't mean it doesn't hurt really fucking bad when the girl you've been dating for over a year breaks up with you, so when you say that their relationship "never existed" youre acting like highschoolers dont have feelings and understand nothing, which makes no sense.

Sex is definitely not my top priority, it never was. I ain't thirsty homie.
