What's Bothering You?

None of my friends play anymore. It’s honestly sad. I can’t believe they have ALL abandoned their islands... and me

1. Was only half serious when I posted this
2. This is from two and a half months ago lmao

Missed a game event because I had to adult.

so this vest I got actually fits pretty well except there's one spot where it starts to split a little between the buttons... my chest.


god I hate being a woman lmao

I don't mind it but yeah, sure a smaller chest could have been nice cause I'm kinda tiny in general

Since the Blog Tree has been shut down, some non-violation posts are being flagged as rule violations and get deleted, some healthy discussions are getting locked too early, and the staff getting stricter about what you can write, I’m beginning to feel that I’m no longer free to write whatever I want to on this forum. It used to be that I am free to talk about whatever I want as long as I don’t harm other members, go off-topic, or post something offensive or inappropriate. But as soon as ACNH came out, this is no longer the case. I wonder what has changed.

If I had to choose between the freedom of speech or common decency to make everyone feel welcome (which means I can’t talk about some stuff because it’s too “insensitive” to some groups or not inclusive to all groups), I would choose freedom of speech over common decency. While I refrain from attacking others or posting stuff that’s blatantly offensive (even in cases where I share my frustrations), I should be free to say whatever I want. But, others have the right to not listen to me. It would be better for others to not listen to me at all than to silence me.

It's a difference debating and arguing in a constructive way and hearing all sides rather thinking one side only is right and ignore all others. It's not really what freedom of speech is about anyway, nor when people think being rude is being blunt. You can still stand with an opinion but literally speaking down everything, no.

(there is one opinion that I'm never gonna budge on (pro-choice) cause I've never ever heard of any good argument on that one(pro-life) and I've debated it also)

really doubting me getting through this credential program, sometimes i question how i even managed to get my degree
ofc i'm just stressing over a paper i have due in a little less than 2 days and i'll probably feel fine once i finish it but also the 70 hrs of fieldwork by the end of the semester that i've barely started
but this is probably just sleep-deprived me at 4am stressing myself out

but on top of that my best friend's kinda been going through stuff lately and i feel bad i can't even make the time to be there for him right now

Mom wanting me to make an apple pie but she can't clean up and when she wants me to do the dishes and stuff she basically staples then in lukewarm water with largest stuff on top

That’s not what I mean. Here are some cases in point:

- The most recent case was that I made a thread about the worst fandoms or hatedoms on the internet. We were allowed to discuss topics like this during the vBulletin Era, but it got locked after eight posts, showing that we can no longer discuss this. It’s like criticizing a political group or party rather than another religion, and it has nothing to do with Animal Crossing. That, and it’s not discussing other members on this forum or containing prohibited content. So why lock it?
- My Capitalism vs Socialism thread back in July got locked very early, and I was trying to have a nice discussion. And they still don’t want discussions like that.
- Earlier this year, I made a post on the Coronavirus thread about why we aren’t getting any relief, describing how lack of compromise between both parties is to blame. The post was not a rule violation, and I wasn’t writing it to be mean to others. But they deleted it.
- They’re now moving posts on the General Discussion to other threads to where they’re more suited for discussion. And they’re not taking controversial discussions on the General Discussion too lightly anymore.

Since the Blog Tree was closed due to lack of interest, I started posting what I would normally post on the Blog Tree onto the regular forums. At the same time, the staff is starting to get stricter about what can be posted on the forums. Which is why I feel like I’m no longer free to discuss whatever I discuss. What has changed?

got woken up today by a stupid fire alarm. it wasn't too bad ig except I can't handle loud noises so I had to wrap a blanket around my head before I went outside.

luckily I'm not in a bad mood or that prob would've ruined my whole day lol.

 

[Alienfish]

Spoiler: Trigger warning, proceed with caution

My sister hurt herself today. My parents already comforted her but I still feel uneasy. She even went into my room after and asked if she could show me. I said no. I already saw some on her leg. It shouldn’t have gone this far.

This may sound a little too shallow, but I am deeply sorry.

I hope she can recover. You, too- I understand how crazy hard this must be.

Don’t worry, you’re not being shallow at all! I just would’ve never expected that from her. The recovery process is slow, but it’s heading in the right direction. She has my parents as well as myself. Thank you for reaching out, it really means a lot.

My internets been out for over an hour and I can’t study or do my homework. I’ve also been off my meds for over a week now because they don’t have any in stock right now. I feel like my head is under water. I’m trying so hard and everything is working again me lately.

as someone who used to do that + knew people who did as well, i just want to say that i’m so sorry and that i hope things get better for you both.

My sister keeps showing them to me. It’s not that I don’t care, but I just don’t want to encourage it more than she‘s doing. Solutions have already been put into motion, so time will tell. Thank you for responding, I hope things are getting better for you too! ❤

 

[Midoriya]

Honestly hating myself right now, but when has that ever been new for me?

I do have a bruise on my left arm that’s healing though. Other than that I’m okay.

 

[xSuperMario64x]

my lower abdomen still hurts from doing exercises this morning. def gonna have to take tomorrow to rest and then pick it back up on Tuesday. hopefully this post-workout soreness will subside soon.

I also had to stop doing schoolwork cause it was legitimately making me cry and gave me a headache. felt better as soon as I stopped. god I really wish I could take a week off.

You guys are one the sole reasons why my mentality is so awful. Just ask me about my studies, or just a simple "how are you?" Please be engaged in my life and be supportive of me. Stop the politics; stop the comparisons and complaints - please just let me feel like you care about me developing into a smart individual. I'm quite depressed at the moment because you guys just simply do not care. You treat me as a kid, and you seem to dislike my adventurous personality. Maybe it's too boyish and not ladylike of me. So me facing and overcoming the things that I used to find challenging - that's nothing important in your eyes. A part of me wanted to show you all that I can do it, but it looks like whatever I do isn't praise-worthy. I just wanted some acknowledgement.

My neighbors are being loud, playing music. . .dude can u not. Be considerate.

Well... time to survive another 5 day work week. I really want to take a day off soon but it just seems impossible. Me and my other coworker are the only ones able to do the 11-7 shifts right now and if you want to take a day off during one of those shifts you have to find someone to cover for you. The problem is most of my other coworkers who work 8-4:30 don't do 11-7 shifts and no one wants to cover for a Friday which is my desired day off. Plus I have a 9:30-6 shift added on top of that which I don't know if you need to find someone to cover or not. It's just been so busy lately still and I am getting anxiety going to work not knowing what kind of day awaits me when I sign on due to how unpredictable it is. I really should try to get something else. It's just hard with COVID making unemployment so low and I enjoy being able to work at home like I am now. Not sure what to do.
