Open Bar: Arguments About Turtles, All the Way Down

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

It would be great to do it to an admin and see if I could get banned from a group over it.

On FB, your posts are a canvas for other people to paint their hopes and desires upon.

Yeah, every so often I post something that reminds me why I don't normally post anything that delves into my real life on FB.

Three of us invented the "blocked" troll, and that's largely all I do anymore.

Wait, what's that?

I came up with a new FB troll the other day, but I haven't had a chance to try it out yet. It's simply picking one person, preferably one who kind of annoys you, and only ever replying to their posts with "hahahahaha". Same number of "ha"s every time. Pretty sure it would send certain temperament types right up a wall.

Person A posts a mildy provocative article.
Persons B & C respond to it.
Person A responds to someone who never posted, accusing them of derailing or being a bigot or whatnot.
Persons B & C argue with the OP and become more and more abusive toward nonexistent person D.
People watching think they're talking to someone they have blocked or who has blocked them
People ask who it is.
Person A, B, or C respond to non-existent person D with "how did this turn into a vaccination/circumcision/gun ownership thread (whichever is LEAST appropriate).
Persons A, B, & C sit back and watch EVERYONE WHO HAS READ THE THREAD go fucking ballistic over the subject. 
Nobody says who the "blocked" person is.

Rinse, repeat on same page in 3 days.  It never stops working.

That's goddamn diabolical.

My new philosophy is "Give people what they want.  Good & hard."

It came to me in LA. 

Note that this is in addition to, rather than instead of, my old philosophy of "laugh while everything burns".

I like this.

My boyfriend is basically nocturnal. He wanted to spend  the night, and refused melatonin when I offered it to him, and has been in my bed fidgeting every 3 minutes for the last two hours. I am desperately tired and stressed with school, and have to get up at 7 am.

And I am a light sleeper who is easily awakened by movement near me.

Basically I am in my own personal hell right now.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Also my oldest children do not appear to give a fuck about my stress level or sleep needs. It's one fucking AM and I come downstairs and they're down here just traipsing around doing whatever the fuck they feel like.

Seriously, just fuck everything.

Alternadly, enjoy the other's willing participation in your deranged fantasy.  Just, put a shirt on next time mnkay?

Wow.  You're an asshole.  Way to go.

This is one of the only things the fiancée and I ever fight about, I am a fidget (and find very few beds comfortable), I turn every few hours and about once a week I need to get up to the bathroom. She is up at 6:45 to get to work. Maybe I should try melatonin.

Turning every three hours I can live with. Random fidgets every three minutes followed by snoring = massively incompatible sleep style, given my "often insomniac hypervigilant" sleep style.

Not saying it's him. It's not him. But it's also not tolerable.

"It's not you, it's me. I hate you."

[LMNO]

Ah, that sucks, Nigel.  If I'm asleep, then nothing much bothers me.  But if I'm trying to get to sleep, any little thing will keep me up. 

I hope he finds the couch comfortable.

Who do we have here? And how many posts?

Please say we've got a Pennsylvania IP...OH PLEASE, SAY THAT!!! I'd really love to be pushed over the edge to taking actions I'm finding less and less objectionable by the minute.

EDIT: Registered 2011. Dammit. Would it be immoral to blame Pennsylvania for this douche's bullshit anyways?
