I currently live with my parents. I came home today to find out my dad slapped my mother. she was helping him find some summer clothes and accidentally dropped a suitcase on his toe which caused him to suddenly lash out. he is 67 years old, she is 61. my mum called a DV helpline, which ended up with police at the house and an AVO being taken out. they are scheduled to appear in court in 2 days. this is not exactly new behaviour on my dad's part, but it's been a while since he has physically attacked her as far as I'm aware. also police/legal action has never been taken before, and I'm both surprised and heartened at my mum mustering the courage to do so. she did the right thing and I think she should have done it sooner given my dad's long-term marital behaviour. I feel kind of heartbroken and angry and worried all at the same time. mostly angry, which I'm trying to control. I foresee some fallout from this but I can't exactly tell the nature of it. I have been struggling constantly with both my mum and my dad for some time now, ever since they returned permanently from overseas and we've been living together. it's just a mess generally and I worry both for my mum's future and my own. I don't really know what to do but I'm trying to be strong for both of us and lead us out of this. I just don't know what to do though.

it kinda came close to being funny because I thought you were making shit up

why did you copy-paste the whole plot entry from Wikipedia?

that's what the screening appointment is for, innit. I'm hoping they do a good job of determining my suitability (and also that I'm actually suitable for the procedure). I'm told the process is more accurate and developed now than it was, say, 5 years ago. out of curiosity, when did those people you know do their surgeries? like, how long ago? and did they get screened properly? did they do it at a dodgy place? lol. "mein Fuhrer, I can see!" another related anecdote: after I started wearing contacts regularly, I bought a bunch of them from overseas while I was there on holiday. the guy told me they were monthlies, so I was wearing the same pair for a month at a time. later I find out there are no monthlies for that type and I've actually been wearing fortnightlies for 2 more weeks than I should. never had any problems though, so I've just kept on doing it saves money. I must agree with this. a certain level of fakery is tolerable for the sake of fashion, but this is crossing the line imo. at least have glass/plastic in them or I'm gonna prod your eyeballs through the frames.

we still have like another 20 years before they come down to Aus again.

I too am saving for lasik. I've got a screening appointment next week. I've worn glasses since I was 9 or something, been wearing contacts for the last few years. I'd just like to wake up in the morning and be able to see clearly without needing either, I don't like the dependency. -8.5 in both eyes btw. ludicrous. and I never really did anything to worsen it, it just kept getting worse and worse on its own as I grew up. I did read a lot and play a lot of video games up close, but those things didn't contribute to the problem as much as I was led to believe.

lol thirded. this reminded me of that old bash.org gem about Tetris being unrealistic.

I think if he were alive he would just smirk at the stupidity of all this. as someone who wrote constantly about the meaning of reality and reality vs personal fictions, he must find all this current day garbage movie-fare amusing.

working through my list of unplayed games, I started FEAR 2 today. it's gotten boring quite quickly. they've dumbed down some of the stuff that made the first game good. for example they took leaning away for some reason, I have no idea why. it added to the physicality of the player character and his sense of movement/action. overall the devs seem to have lost sight of that cool John Woo-style gameplay that was so much fun in the first one. plus it's just not as scary. edit: also holy the fuck the BLOOM! there's bloom on EVERYTHING, it's insane. fire: bloom. bloodshot sky: bloom. flashlight on tiles: CRAZY bloom, to the point where you're blinded if you shine it inside a small tiled room. edit edit: like this I've also been replaying Mirror's Edge. I forgot how short the main story playthrough is! got through it in about 5 hours (of course I did know remember all the routes and puzzle solutions so that probably cut down a lot of time). I'm excited to see what they'll improve on with the upcoming sequel.

I cannot even comprehend this! me neither. I was about to ask why anybody would think this but decided it was best left alone.

Sounds rough man. There were occasional fights that broke out at my high school back in the day, and I think half of them were guys fighting over some girl. But it was tame compared to what you seem to be dealing with. I hope those kids in your PE class get their asses kicked. the media thing sounds like it's getting worse but other than that it just sounds like school has always been (for the last x decades). I honestly think being a teacher is one of the bravest professions ever, both in terms of dealing with cunt students and also in terms of resisting becoming jaded and careless. maybe you should consider changing schools before dropping out, yshf.
