Here's my rant about Batfleck:
Nothing. I don't really MIND the idea. haven't seen him do anything, so I don't know.
My rant on Ben Affleck as Batman:
Who [expletive deleted]ing cares?!? He may be good at it, he may suck the [expletive deleted]ing big one, or he may be completely forgettable, but it really doesn't matter one [expletive deleted]ing bit! I stay away from discussions about these sorts of things online as a general rule, but some people in one of my gaming groups were discussing it a while back and both seemed to think he was going to ruin the franchise. Not happening. If the Batman movie franchise could survive nipples on the suit, Ahnold and Jim Carrey as bad guys, and Adam [expletive deleted]ing West, I think it can handle Affleck. And if it doesn't, good! I won't have to avoid yet another movie about a "superhero" I've never had any interest in. So, rock on Batfleck! Do your worst and, as for your detractors, [expletive deleted] 'em!
This gets +2 Rant points. Mainly because it didn't go into a tirade about Ben Affleck as Batman but it simply expressed what most of us are thinking. I'm sure that some people are very upset that Ben Affleck has been cast as Batman but I have three words for them Batman and Robin. Because of that movie we got Christopher Nolen's trilogy. So, it may be a blessing in disguise.
Hey man, I can respect that. I get the same reaction when I tell people I don't like beans in my chili.You too? I love chili, when it's meat and spices and not just beans in red sauce. I hate beans.AMEN. I was born and raised in Texas, and apparently it's only in Texas where "chili" is explicitly different from "chili beans/chili with beans". So I grew up on "chili" meaning "meat and spices in sauce" and "chili beans" being "chili with beans".
Soon as I moved to Arizona, and now living in Tennessee, I've learned that everywhere else apparently "chili" implies that it has beans in it, and you specifically have to request "chili with no beans" everywhere else.
Which IMNSHO is utterly ridonkulous because it's so much easier to add something extra if someone wants it than to remove it once it's in there if they don't. I run into that problem at restaurants all the time with not just beans but also onions and peppers, especially at Mexican places that think you have to stuff every dish to the gills with onions. I love Mexican food but I hate onions (which, in addition to me hating the taste, are the one food that for some reason my acid reflux medicine just can't handle, onions will give me heartburn every time whether I've taken the meds or not).
So yeah, internet fistbump to fellow lover of chili, hater of beans.
EDIT: Eh halfway decent morning minirant, I'm okay with this.
And for your efforts you get +1 Rant point.

*returns fistbump*
I too hate onions, but I love when they and peppers are cooked with my food, same goes for a lot of vegetables.

Heck yes.
I feel like I have failed in my rant as it did not disturb the talk about chili.
BTW, I had chili for dinner with beans and sweet potatoes.
There was meat in the chili. Chili without meat is blasphemy. Chili without beans, is just that.
What if it's chili with beans without meat on a hot dog?Then you blaspheme against the hot dog... why would you do that?
Yeah man, respect the hot dog! Or don't, if you like. I'm a Discordian cultist, not a cop.
Just an FYI, there will be no rants about the Playtest.
Is that a "I will be doing no rants about the playtest" or "I am banning rants about the playtest in this thread"?
I will be doing no rants about the playtest. Sorry for the confusion.

Okay, so I really, really need to rant about this cause it's driving me nuts...
Rant About Movies
I am so [expletive deleted] tired of people who can't just let it be because someone else [expletive deleted] likes a movie when they don't. It can't just be that they have different [expletive deleted] taste. No, the person who likes the movie is somehow emotionally stunted and immature because being a [expletive deleted] child is the only possibly excuse for such poor taste. *eyeroll*
First it's the people who like [expletive deleted] art films. Because they're so [expletive deleted] original and 'intelligent'. Except they're [expletive deleted] not. They're every bit as [expletive deleted] predictable and formulaic as the fun films that are [expletive deleted] dismissed as not culturally worthy. Seriously, thirteen weeks into a foreign film class and I could make an awesome art film drinking game.
On second thought, I think it's probably a bad idea to mix art films and alcohol...but I digress.
I expect that kind of [expletive deleted] snobbery from fans of art films. But it really [expletive deleted] pisses me off when people who are fans of genres like kung-fu films or super hero films or monster films start ragging on their fellow fans for liking a movie that they don't. I don't [expletive deleted] like Game of Thrones, but I don't think that there's something wrong with people who do. Yeah, I know, TV series not movie, but same idea. I don't [expletive deleted] care if they like the same stuff I do. But I am really [expletive deleted] sick of people making [expletive deleted] comments about how you have to be a [expletive deleted] child to like the movie. [expletive deleted]. I think I'm starting to repeat myself now so I think I'll end this before it gets really circular.
This rant gets +2 Rant Points. I especially like how it is like one of my own. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so consider me flattered.

Also, I realized while I was writing it that your style of ranting is quite fun and a good outlet for the crazy. :)

I'm not crazy my mother had me tested.
Aaaaand did she tell you the result? =)
Funny story: My mother would constantly tell me I was "dumb as a fox" because some doctor told her that when I was younger. From then on, I was expected to be "smarter" than other people. I am probably slightly above average in that department so I guess mission accomplished.
So, any new rants from other people?

Who the [redacted] thought this Google+ thing was a good idea?! Nothing freaking works properly now. Especially on [redacted] YouTube. And guess who the first people to figure out how everything [redacted] works now? Yeah, the same old [redacted] that made YouTube a hellhole in the first place. The spammers, the same [redacted] stupid arguments, the people demanding "look at my [redacted] channel", and all that sort of [redacted]. So really did anything change? Not in the population anyway. Not like there's much worth fighting the new system to make comments for anyway, so nothing of value was [redacted] lost. So maybe that's what you should take away from this whole [redacted] debacle - Google is saving YouTube from itself by mechanically enforcing the fact that YouTube comments sections are a [redacted]hole. Soon as they come up with a mechanic that lets you hide the whole comment section, everyone will probably suddenly be happy.
So yeah so that's how my rant about Google turned into a rant about how Google screwing things up is for the [redacted] best. Make sense of that.
+2 Rant points. :)
Just finished a new rant which means....
RANT INCOMING!!!
| 4 people marked this as a favorite. |
Welcome back rant fans! I’m sticking with that (expletive deleted) phrase so get used to it. This rant is about Writer’s Block. As I consider these rants to be somewhat of an amateur writing…(expletive deleted) what is the word that I’m trying to say here? No, no more answering (expletive deleted) rhetorical questions. Let’s just say that I consider these rants to be something an amateur writer would do. Which makes me somewhat of an amateur writer and thus prone to (expletive deleted) “writer’s block”. I bet you are all wondering how many times I can get the word amateur in this rant. Obviously it will be as many times as I (expletive deleted) need to. Anyways, as many of you have been following my rants for some time now, you may have noticed that I will get writer’s block from time to time. I assure you that writer’s block is no joke. There is nothing worse than sitting in front of a computer staring at a screen and thinking to yourself “(expletive deleted)” as you realize that you have nothing worthwhile to type up. What’s worse is when you do have something to say but you can’t (expletive deleted) figure out how to say without sounding like some kind of (expletive deleted) moron. What many of you may not know is that writer’s block happens all the time. See, right there. It just happened. I was just typing along and then I just sat there in front of my computer thinking “what the (expletive deleted) do I say now?” and decided to just walk away so I don’t have a (expletive deleted) aneurysm. This is not the same as when I get stuck because I’ve already typed the rant up and I reread it and get (expletive deleted) frustrated because it looks like a monkey with (expletive deleted) brain damage was pounding on my keyboard. I am often my own worst critic. This has been solved because I have zero (expletive deleted) to give anymore. That’s right ZERO (expletive deleted) to give. Don’t ask me because I’m fresh out. And we are back to writer’s block. No, I mean like it happened again. Are you even (expletive deleted) paying attention? (Expletive deleted)! Now I’ve started asking questions again. See what this (expletive deleted) writer’s block does to me? (Expletive deleted) (expletive deleted) (expletive deleted)! Ok, I’m done. Rant over.
Tune in next time when I rant about…Outdated internet memes. What like those (expletive deleted) videos on YouTube or those (expletive deleted) pictures that people put on social media?
Rant List:
Outdated internet memes
Stupid bloodsucking critters
Athlete's foot
How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?
Room for one more.

Can I request:
Christmas adverts
or James Bond movies?
So we are officially one week from Xmas. Perhaps if you are good I will provide a rant.

I think that one can stand on its own being that short, as nobody wants to see a full-sized rant on that subject. Really.

OK JMD031 here you go ...
<rant>
So here we are 2 days before Christmas and I can hardly wait for it to be [redacted] over. Not because I hate Christmas ... I honestly think the fact fact there are so many holidays in and around this time of year, both religious and secular, to be an emphasis as to how important it is to take time to celebrate/spend time with one's family and friends/reflect on the past year (or more)/allow our charitable sides to show through/reconnect with our spiritual side/etc.
No, I can hardly wait for this [redacted] time to be over and [redacted] done with so I can finally escape all the cloying and purely annoying [REDACTED] that is associated with it!
[Redacted] inflatable Santa's and Polar Bears sitting 6'+ tall in my neighbor's yard since THANKS-[REDACTED]-GIVING.
That [redacted] radio station that started playing Christmas songs after [REDACTED] HALLOWEEN!!!!!
Advertisements for all sorts of [redacted] that no one really needs. With special pricing for the ever increasing number of "holiday specific" shopping days ... Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday ... how about a "Go Buy More [Redacted] Wednesday"? I actually heard a marketing rep say that Labor Day is the new Black Friday ... WHAT THE [REDACTED]?!?!
I thoroughly expect all the other [redacted] to follow this apparent move so that we're all hearing Jingle [Redacted] Bells on the radio non-stop from the end of summer on through the end of the year, watching 24 hours of a [Redacted] Christmas Story every 24 hours for 3 months, having [redacted] animatronic reindeer and other [redacted] lawn decorations scattered throughout our neighborhoods for the better part of the year because IT ALL FOLLOWS THE [REDACTED] MONEY!
You know what doesn't? The things this time of year really should be about. Being kind to one another. Making time for family and friends. Opening our hearts to help those who need it. Sure, folks get nice right around Christmas, but [redacted] you if you have the last [redacted] piece of commercially popular [redacted] in the store sitting in your cart instead of theirs. Peace of earth and good will towards all? Yeah, [redacted] right.

Welcome back Rant Fans! This rant is about Outdated Internet Memes. Now at first I was like, which of these (expletive deleted) things are considered “outdated” because I have a very low tolerance for the absolute (expletive deleted) stupidity of the internet. Man, I almost used the word internets there. That would have made me look pretty (expletive deleted) stupid. Anyways, “internet memes”, for those of you living under a (expletive deleted) rock for the past 10 years are often pop culture phrases and sometimes pictures that exist on the internet at a (expletive deleted) attempt at “humor”. Notice the word humor is in quotation marks because often these things miss the mark, although I will admit certain ones, like the “Shut up and take my money” one, are pretty funny. Most often these are repeated ad nauseam. And for a matter of fact I (expletive deleted) do know what ad nauseam means even if I had to (expletive deleted) look up how to spell it, (expletive deleted). Anyways, most of these are not funny to begin with, then are funny for about a minute and then become unfunny again. My brother is really (expletive deleted) annoying when it comes to these because he’s all like “Dude! You have to check this out!” and so I do and I have yet to not be (expletive deleted) disappointed. Essentially, while I may find a few funny, I find most of them to be (expletive deleted) lame. Much like puns, which most of you know how I feel about them, I have an extreme dislike for them. I mean, not so much that I would do a rant about them before, but enough that I could muster up the words for one now. To be honest, this rant is (expletive deleted) me off because of how lame it is, much like outdated internet memes. How is that for (expletive deleted) meta? Did I just blow your (expletive deleted) mind? And since I’m back to asking (expletive deleted) rhetorical questions, this rant is over.
Join me next time when I rant about…Stupid bloodsucking critters. Is this a lawyer joke? No, don’t be (expletive deleted) obtuse. It’s about (expletive deleted) mosquitoes and other suck critters. Let me tell you about…

Since it may be a while before I get to one about Christmas Adverts, I didn't add it to the list as I'm trying to keep things topical.
They have ointments for topical issues...

Mean people stink. People who go out of their way to mock or be mean not because anyone else was mean to them but just because they are miserable human beings. Yeah those people what is the point why do you need to bring everyone else down? I mean why go out of your way to mock someone else's fun time are you that miserable that you feel the need that you need to bring everyone else down to your level? Why can't you just go and be miserable by yourself or maybe go find other miserable people who like to be miserable. Leave us happy people alone who want to be happy.
Mean people suck. +2 Rant points.
Methinks I better not add a rant. I have a tendency go on forever >.>
DO EET.
