wonderful the politics thread is locked for an hour, that will solve everything. Gotta love it, we don’t do anything about the likes of Darth Id and Dinkins, but the moment some regulars get upset at could possibly be disaster for the country the politics thread gets locked. Sometimes I can’t stand this place.

Warb, as a friend, please step back. Take a breath. Go do something you enjoy and forget about OT.com, forget about politics, don’t let this eat you alive.

maybe you’re right.

Locking the politics thread was a good choice.

whatever.

What did Dinkins ever do to you?

he’s a troll.

I don’t know man, it seems like there’s definitely a select few people that get picked on,

and one of them seems to be me.

but you’re the only one that legitimately wants them banned.

why anyone wants the likes of Darth ID and Dinkins here is beyond me.

This is Off Topic, the appeal is that it’s not moderated very heavily.

locking the politics thread is not light modding.

I have a cousin who is the same age as I am and over the past couple years he has always been a real dick to me, to put it bluntly. I am as kind as possible around him and he always brags about himself and asks why I’m not the same. I played a couple years of football in middle school. I was the starting running back and was pretty good. I quit cause I didn’t have enough time for it. He still plays and gives me so much shit. “Why did you quit, you pussy?”.

I also have loved to play basketball for most of my childhood. I had played since 3rd grade. I did many club teams and started on my middle school team. When I got into high school I decided to quit since it’s pretty hard to make the team. It’s a 4A school that wins State like every year. I chose to focus on Academics. It was a tough decision for me. He gave me shit like always. He’ll say “Bro, I play football AND baseball. You quit basketball too? Dang, your not athletic at all anymore.” Even though I still regularly play ball with my friends and am on the school tennis team. Currently I’m getting shit from him that really stings. As a Mormon, I’m not allowed to date girls till Im 16. Me and my cousin recently turned 16 and he already has a girlfriend and has taken her to many school dances. I have a group of guy friends who I hang out with all the time and have many girls who are great friends in a lot of my classes too. But I don’t have a girlfriend. Iv been 16 for only like a month. He gives me so much damn shit over this. “Dude are you terrified of girls”. " Stop hiding under a Rock". “Have you even made out with a girl yet?” “Do you even try to talk to girls?”

I feel like absolute shit. God, he just makes me feel like so much less than him. I have a 4.0 GPA, am very involved in school clubs and have a great group of friends. I should be happy about myself but he really tears me down.

Try not to worry about what he thinks. He doesn’t know what he is talking about.

Sometime ago the squeeze was not in work for a bit and found the sound of my Jane Fonda style home exercise regime too annoying.
So I got a gym membership.
I paid a little extra so I could take breaks now and then while visiting the folks down south and it was quite a nice arrangement.
The gym was well equipped, the cleaning staff etc were friendly and helpful.
I got this job and they don’t have a branch where I work so I thought I would suspend my account.
The lady at the reception told me to use the website to suspend it so I tried to log on but it kept telling me my password was wrong. So I tried changing it but I was caught in an endless loop trying to prove I wasn’t a robot.
I ended up being directed to multiple sites, being pushed to download an app on my phone which I haven’t got space for and finally getting some really sarcastic comments from a representative on facebook.
I just lost my temper and cancelled the debit now they want me to pay £50 and are threatening to charge me another £25 every time I refuse to pay.
How can I go from being happy with them and wanting to suspend my account to be really furious with them and being robbed via so called service charges?
I hear this is common practice for lots of debit transactions so why is it allowed to go on?
I will never pay for anything by direct debit again.

Gosh, what a bad business. I definitely won’t be getting a gym membership with them. I hope this gets straightened out for you.
