Reading through the "known issues list" for our latest product release, I really feel like we could save a lot of paper by just saying, "If you are an idiot, this product will not work correctly for you. Please choose one of our competitors' products."
Case in point:
- Reported issue: You cannot model more than 1200 layers of management in your company
OK. Whoever found that "issue" and decided it needed to be reported needs to be slapped and banned from using the application. It's that simple.

John --
Hang in there, dude. It grieves me you've been having such a rough time of it lately. Anything I can do to help?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Duh. Seems my life was too calm and too stress free for too long...
So my brother mailed my mom that he is under the threat of eviction for incurred debt for not paying the administration of the building. His flat is the one he got from our grandfather, the mom's father, and is the place where my mother grown up.
She was upset by the situation, she was upset by the fact that he basically demanded money to pay up the debt (no please, or anything). Now I am upset as I don't really want to deal with my brother. Especially if he really gets evicted and will try to crash at my place, which is the flat we both grew up, and which I got from our parents.
Family...
The source of both some of the best times and most jarring frustrations you'll probably face in life.Hang in the O great Drake of the North-western Carpathians.

I'm suddenly reminded of a sequence from Looney Tunes, or similar, depicting a bound feline being carried about by a host of mice led by an executioner-mouse (complete with grievously-appealing axe and hood), while a dreary funerary march plays in the background . . . .
My mother teaches English, Scint -- and sometimes she asks me to read over some submissions. My *cells* crawl in revulsion just thinking about it.
Deepest sympathies.

I at least get to have fun leaving comments on the grammar problems. It keeps me sane.

The rubric also helps. I do an initial skim to see if they have an intro, conclusion, and works cited page. Then I actually start reading. If there are sufficient errors/lack of necessary detail, I can ease off and skim the rest after marking a few key points of "this is why I have dinged you in this category."
I don't have to fine-tooth comb to tell the difference between "errors make paper unreadable" and "consistent errors interrupt reader-writer communication (but still legible)."

Neither. It's a rejected rocket fuel formula the Navy "safely disposes of" from a parked Jeep in a back alley.

As someone born and raised in the deepest heart of Southern Hospitality, I'm admittedly flummoxed as to the problem. Unless there's something major missing from this retelling - which given your previous records of excessive detail, seems unlikely - it sounds to me like it was all in their heads.
My best guess is that they expected NBW to stand up, shake hands or hug each and every one of them, individually tell them how welcome they were and how happy she was to see them, and to have been personally escorted to seats near her (as they clearly believed she was the hostess of the gathering and thus "near her" would be the "important seats") and attended to throughout the dinner with constant discussion and inquiries to secure that they were happy and all their needs were being quickly and adequately met.
Which, all in all, is incredibly pompous, rude, entitled, self-absorbed, and assumptive, not necessarily in that order.
More likely they're just stuck-up, self-important dimwits who were looking for a reason to get offended in hopes that Southern Hospitality would demand you scramble about trying to "make it up to them" in some way.

Seems sound advice, looking in on him would be prudent, even if your brother might not be as appreciative, depending on his state of mind.
Then again it could help him calm down , and make him see that you care enough to looking in on him.Good luck man. I think I speak for most of us here when I say we'll be with you in spirit at least.

So when I was growing up I remember that I always thought those women who were still dressing all in tie dye like the seventies never actually ended were such losers and I was never going to be like that....
Today I was walking around the arcade with the kidlet. I had dressed like I normally do: skinny jeans, doc martens, black T-shirt, and a flannel shirt, with too much silver jewelry that mostly featured dragons and/or skulls. Basically I was dressed like a background character in an episode of Daria. And I realized that oh my god, I’ve basically turned into the nineties version of the tie dye ladies....
....and then I shrugged and went back to playing skeeball because, much like those tie dye wearing ladies from my childhood, I am comfortable with my sartorial choices. Also adult me is aware that teenage me was kind of a judgmental a&@@%$+. :P

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I didn't *think* it was a "Southern Thing" (Shiro's entire family is from Kentucky, and he wasn't just baffled, he was deeply offended -- I've rarely seen him so livid), but I figured I'd post so you and TL could chime in.
I think it's more likely that Younger Brother's (ex-)girlfriend was pissed at him for some other reason, and decided to take it out on us as well.

Now I just need to get reincarnated and then I'll be on the sweet road to 16-18 hours of sleep a day, and actually being invited into bed with someone for once :p.

Had I been there, I would've probably be been just as cheesed off out of my mind as Shiro. Now that I'm not trying to theorize an explanation, my more cynical side really thinks my latter explanation is the core, combined with yours - she had a reason to be annoyed, or thought she did, and took it out on your family with hopes that playing toward her expectations of hospitality and preferential treatment would get her something she wanted or force your family to treat her deferentially.

RE: Game Stuff, Builds, and Balance
I strongly suggest an examination of the Spheres of Power/Might system. Here's a link. It isn't *quite* the same thing as the ideas y'all have been kicking around, but it could dovetail well with some of those ideas. I'm no game designer, really (though I try it from time to time), but I believe it could provide new perspective, and perhaps even some insight . . . . :D
Link is broken. Is this accurate/comprehensive?

Drejk, best of luck with your brother.
Lynora, I will probably be changing all interested parties into cats soon, be ready for an influx. Stock up on kitty litter and the good wet food. I am not turning myself into a cat, however, as I like having opposable thumbs.
Just a mort, be careful with HI.
Nobodyshome, I will be sending you a desk with a nerf foam area in it for head-beating.
