I recorded a song I like from a game I'm playing and put it on Youtube. It's gotten minimal views. Today I notice someone downloaded my recording (I can tell because there's an issue with volume dipping at one part where I edited 2 recordings together), puts it on their channel and gets thousands of views in less time...
Why?
Why?
Maybe they have more subscribers who got a notification for added video? Or maybe they had a specific title that crops up faster during search.

Edit: My computer is back. The audio jack works now, but the cooling fan is much louder. I've half a mind to complain to the store after the CR staff meeting tomorrow.
I'll always love you, Max.

Holy crap what the FUCK was that!? What bullshit way of ending things! And I mean everything from practically the last five chapters. I would've been fine had those last five chapters not happened. It would've been okay, even if it would have been kind of predictable. But those last five chapters... that was not a good plot twist! That was a out of left field over NOTHING plot twist!
Just because you have a plot twist that comes right the fuck out of nowhere without proper foreshadowing does NOT mean it's a GOOD one! Holy shit that was stupid!
edit And the same mangaka also created Judge, a manga that sounds SO FREAKING SIMILAR TO THIS ONE.
...who am I kidding, we know I'm gonna read that one, too...

Windows Movie Maker is such a stingy bitch. I can't do what I want, and placing a new audio or video clip causes a fade in that I specifically disabled.

Ditch Movie Maker and get an actual good editing software. Pinnacle Studio is a good one, buy a dazzle at your nearest electronics store, it comes with an installation CD for Pinnacle. It depends on where you live, though. Some places might not sell Dazzles.

Essentially, two of my very close friends had developed feelings for one another, and while this usually wouldn't be a problem, they're both with someone right now. And they don't even want said feelings. Taking all of that into consideration, I thought it'd be best to have them handle it, not really step in too much.
Turns out I was wrong. After hearing about how they nearly crossed a self imposed line one too many times, I stepped in for a more aggressive role. I policed them and I eventually had to break one of them to have her see the truth about what she'd lose if this shit continues.
Thankfully, I've had her see it...but it didn't last, since I noticed that they were starting to slip back, only this time I was going through some pretty rough stuff myself...and I cracked a bit. I fell down into some dark place I don't ever want to go back too.
After that, I had a long talk with one of them, which concluded with us going to sit all 3 of us down in private to talk things out, I finally have someone on my side. Turns out we had nothing to worry about, the other friend was already on the same page, we just didn't know it.
So this big mess that's been going on is finally going behind us, the future looks pretty bright right now. Thank you Court Records for letting me get all of this off my chest.

Uh, maybe it's just how I see this, but I don't think you should've butted in to begin with. Even if they were gonna cross a line they had said they wouldn't cross, it still has nothing to do with you. Let them make their own mistakes. I mean, it sounds like this problem is solved and all, just... I dunno, kinda feels like you should've let it play out to begin with.

Similar thing happened to a few of my friends once, sadly didn't end as well as you did. Good to hear it turned out ok.

You were judging him negatively. This is just a place for people to vent free of judgements or care. No reason to put doubt in anyone's mind by going "hang on I don't think you did the right thing."
Otherwise if that's fair game you can expect me to rip the crap out of you a lot more often here.

-If I dislike tomatoes, that doesn't mean I'm calling for the conversion of all tomatoes into apples. I order my dish without tomatoes while the restaurant continues to serve dishes with tomatoes. What's the problem?
-Rather than trying to reduce homophobia, it's shoving the homophobic label onto people.

Fuck that person for saying it. That is the DUMBEST comparison I have read to date. Yes, I am one of the people who says "I have nothing against homosexuals, as long as they don't shove their sexuality in my face". That doesn't mean I hate homosexuals - if it did, I'd have a TERRIBLE relationship to my aunt, but I don't.
I could say the same about heterosexuals, actually! I don't mind someone's heterosexuality, as long as they don't shove it in my face! Be it constantly talking about how they totally got laid in the heterosexual way just last night or even making out in front of me, or in public. It bothers me. It's your private business IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME, DON'T TRY TO METAPHORICALLY SHOVE ME INTO YOUR BEDROOM! I don't want to know what's going on there, it has nothing to do with me and it's none of my business.

Then tell them that. Preferably not in the way you're saying it here, but say that you generally work much better when you're alone... but would be willing to work in a team, if it was necessary. Though I will say your presumption that everyone you could potentially end up working with being an asshole is... pretty stupid. For one, you don't know. You could find someone at a job who is okay, if not great. Second of all, so what if your co-workers are assholes? I can't think of anyone who found a job and likes every single co-worker, supervisor or boss and was liked back. You gotta WORK with them, not hang out with them. Different things.

If you try to argue back with any of them they will just say "Why are you defending them,are you gay?".'cause that's totally a valid argument and obviously if someone defends a group they obviously HAVE to be part of that group,right?

I'll repeat that: THE PERSON WHO CAME UP WITH THE BIG BANG THEORY WAS A PRIEST! That is the definition of irony.
I know man,most people I know are both Christian and homophobic but there's also a lot of accepting Christians,even a nun at my school.Also it is pretty stupid for anyone to think that any kind of Christian is related to the Westboro Baptist Church,those people do things which any Christians (or any sane person,for that matter) would disapprove.

When someone tries to go their old "you must be part of that group" routine on me, I always feel very tempted to retort "So, are you dead? Do you support murder?" Because by their own logic, you have to be a murder victim to be against it. -.-

It's the vocal minority thing. And how the few ruin things for the many.
Though I could also say there are a lot of christians who behave absolutely atrocious and blab at you with their religion, when - from what I understand - christianity is about acceptance, love for the next person and kindness. But again, it's a case of the most coward dogs being the ones who bark the loudest.

Thanks for reminding me how glad I should feel for not having to live with roommates.
It's sad because my roommates were great guys and I couldn't ask for any better - I still hated having to share so much with others, though - and having to change my daily schedule for when they had friends over, yikes.

Holy shit Cat. You don't call the cops if your roommate is a bit noisy, that's way overkill for something that can be easily discussed and solved.
Hey Guybrush, why don't you simply ask your roommate to give you a message if he's bringing friends over? That way no-one gets an unwanted surprise

Hence I asked why he simply didn't ask him to be a bit quieter to begin with.
And so? If asking nicely doesn't work, you get proper authority.

When I started this semester, I thought I wouldn't graduate for another year, at least. Then I switched majors, which put me at graduating after the fall semester. It all seemed to happen so quickly for me, but I thought it was overall a good thing.
Then yesterday, I got an offer to graduate even earlier. By taking the last two classes I need in the summer, I could finally have my degree and work toward getting into the graduate program. This should absolutely thrill me. Except . . . The grant money I received while going to school is what kept my family and I afloat during the month of August. Without that, we don't have financial security.
I might receive grant money in the summer, but I don't know how much. I'm going to go to the financial aid office soon to talk about it.
I decided to take the leap and do the summer classes. Unfortunately . . . I don't know whether that was a mistake. If anyone else in my household crashes and burns, they can bounce back, but me . . . I can't. I keep holding back out of fear. If I make a mistake, my whole family suffers, not just me. I can't let that happen. The problem is, I've been waiting for years now for my life to begin. Now that it finally has a chance to, I'm afraid. I have medical issues. I have had medical issues for years. These . . . things keep holding me back. Why can't I be healthy? Why can't I just do what I want to do?!
I'm 24. All my friends have graduated, found jobs, moved out of their parent's houses . . . some have gotten married and had kids. And here I am, stuck. Graduating is the one thing I can do on that list of things everyone else has already done. I should feel like I'm finally catching up. Instead, I feel like I'm bringing everyone to ruin. Like I'm dragging everyone down. Like I'm some kind of burden. I try not to be. I do what I can. It's just, what I can do never feels like it's enough. When will it be enough?!
I get it. It'll never be enough. I'll always be behind. I'm trying to find a way to make everything work, anyway. I'll figure something out.
But really, it's finals week. This is when I should be focusing solely on those. Instead, I'm worrying about everything else except my exams. I hope this doesn't wind up bringing my grades down. I worked so hard all semester to earn them. I just feel like I want to scream. Maybe I should try typing out a scream instead of actually screaming irl.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
That helps. The circumstances in which I find myself are still a bunch of bull, though.

...morphine. Meyer keeps saying Carlisle uses morphine on people. Now, morphine CAN be used. BUT NOT THE WAY HE'S USING IT AND FOR WHAT! Okay, first of all, morphine is a highly controlled substance. And Carlisle apparently has a ton of it at home and on his person. At all times. ARE YOU SAYING HE'S TAKING IT FROM THE HOSPITAL!? THEY WOULD NOTICE! He would lose his license (IF HE HAD ONE TO BEGIN WITH, I DON'T KNOW IF HE DOES) and go to jail!
Oh, but better yet, he uses it when Bella apparently severs an artery in her arm... which he, btw, stitches up in his kitchen. And on Jacob, who had several bones fractured. Now, those might sound like moments where morphine is a good idea, to avoid intense pain. But he keeps pumping morphine into Jacob, because his werewolf-high temperature burns it off very fast.
...I know she doesn't research things (and is proud of it) AND that she "doesn't think about what she writes" but what about HER EDITOR!? Did NOBODY read this shit and say, "Hey, you can't pump someone full of morphine. Werewolf, vampire or human, it would shut their system down. They wouldn't be able to breathe. They'd DIE." Not to mention that morphine is highly addicting.
I looked at the withdrawal symptoms of morphine and holy shit that's disgusting and scary. But seriously. DID NOBODY THINK TO TELL HER THAT MORPHINE DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY!?
You know, if she actually paid attention to her own canon of vampires being "stuck mentally and physically in the state they were in when turned" and took it over, they could be interesting! Carlisle originally wanted to become a pastor, so he has no knowledge of medical training. If he did, it would be that of the 1600s, so his stupid practices MIGHT make sense. But there's no way he'd get a job as a doctor!
And the others would be horrifying! Esme is apparently forever stuck with her depression and grief over having lost her child and trying to commit suicide, Rosalie would be in the constant mental state of a fresh gang-rape victim and Edward would spend his eternity as a lethargic, weak Spanish Flue victim.
If that would be done, it would actually be kinda interesting!

Wow, I feel I can relate a lot right now to how you feel. I thought I might be suffering depression and after reading this, it more than confirms it for me. I don't know exactly what you're going through, but it just sounds so similar to mine.
I had a stroke in February, was hospitalized for two weeks, and to this day, I'm still recovering from it. Even though, in the beginning, mentally I was fine. A lot of support, a lot of people taking care of me and helping me, it was easy to look on the bright side.
After those two weeks, I've been having my mother take care of me. She's been having to bathe me, clothe me, help me walk as I had lost use of my right side and still slowly getting it back, and for a while, my speech as I could barely get syllables out. Since being back home though, things have been slower. I don't see as many people and it affects me. Never in my life before have I felt so emotionally vulnerable or even this sensitive. Because of this, I lost my job, it's been putting so much pressure on my mother, and never have I felt so useless as I do now. The times when I've tried to stay positive, I seem to be on the road to recovery, I have setbacks.
The thing that gets me most though is when I'm alone in my mind. I don't consider myself suicidal, but I've had so many moments where I think that if I die, I will lift the burdens that I've put on my loved ones. I think of how little I've accomplished, wondering if I even have any abilities worthwhile to sustain a good job if I get better, feeling like a bother when I hear from friends, and feeling lonely and miserable when I don't. And everytime, my mind goes back to how useless I am and how much better things might be for others if I weren't around. And bless my mother, she's patient, but when she gets stressed at times and lets it out, it only makes me feel worse. I've even had moments where I've just cried and cried, having no control of it.
The thing too though, is that all these emotions are so new to me and I don't really know how to handle them. I used to be able to look more positively at things, not care about being or feeling by myself, but since this happened, it's so difficult to control my feelings. I used to think as long as you were aware of depression, it could be controlled, but I just have days where it feels impossible. While I feel I can relate more to people who have these emotions now, at the same time I wish I didn't.
The worst part about this though is I can't really express how I feel to anyone. This stupid stroke gave me an annoying stutter and it's still hard for me to lay out one sentence at times and I get worn out if I say too much. It's like I'm being forced to keep all these emotions bottled up inside. And I hate that I'm such a burden because I never wanted this to happen to me. It wasn't my choice. And I guess so too, you never know how it feels until it happens to you. Though I was physically affected, it feels more like a mental struggle more than anything.
I'm sorry for this mess, I usually don't vent, but with the way I'm feeling and now that I'm able to type more without killing my arm, I figure that maybe getting this off my chest will help me feel a little better.
