That sucks.

@TheHappySpaceman  
Do you have any close friends/family members that would be willing to drive to where you are and get you to school before class starts tomorrow?

@Background Pony #52C4  
Also, fuck you people who keep commenting on those pieces of shit.

@Background Pony #52C4  
There is a great deal of fetishes out there that I have no interest in, or that I find disturbing. I just try not to look at it or think about it too much.
 
If the people here don’t know which one of those bothers you, they can’t use that information against you I guess.

UUUUUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
 
Just need to get that outta my systems.

@SeraphimDawn  
You okay?

@Mike  
Yeah.  
Just releasing workplace energy.

@SeraphimDawn  
I see.

I want to scream

Being a user of the Internet, I ended up reading a lot of stuff about the eclipse today.
 
Said stuff included the fact that it’s possible for retinal damage to occur from looking at the sun without you ever realizing it’s happening, and the fact that the symptoms often only appear the next day.
 
So now I’m sitting here at 3 AM, paranoid as fuck, almost scared to go to sleep, because I know I definitely looked at the partial eclipse without proper eye protection more than once today. I don’t think it was ever for more than 1 or 2 seconds at a time, but I’m still kind of worried. I’m not currently experiencing any adverse affects (close to 13 hours after it happened), but again: apparently the signs of damage can sometimes only occur the next day.
 
I know I’ve definitely looked directly at the sun in the past and haven’t experienced any lasting damage, but it’s definitely never been for more than like a second at a time, and I’m worried that it could’ve happened when I thought it was safe to look (my thought process basically went “if it doesn’t actually hurt to look at it’s probably alright”).
 
I guess we’ll see. (Or maybe not, lol)

@SuperSupermario24  
I used to look directly at the sun for 5 seconds at a time when I was younger… I don’t think any damage occurred
 
But, who knows
 
I personally don’t see how staring at the sun for a few seconds could cause so much damage
 
I used to do that all the time
 
It just doesn’t make sense… It’s not like it’s SUPER bright or anything

@Rainboom Dash
 
Do you meant that you aren’t using those sunglasses because you are blind? \s
 
What I had read was that looking at the eclipse when it’s going away would be a problem, because your eyes would be accostumed to darkness and then look directly into the sun, but don’t seem any different than opening an window and looking in the sun shortly after waking up (in darkness).

Why the hell do I want someone to request something I hate from me just so I can tell them to fuck off

@Background Pony #52C4
 
Probably because you have pent-up anger, or you want an opening to let people know you dislike that.

Been out for 9.5 hours and I still feel dead.
 
Oh and finding out Jerry Lewis died. Time more for movie backlog.

Seeing code that tops my “dear god why did you think this was ever a good idea” list.
 
And I’m the one that needs to fix it.

Well it’s now the next morning (technically 12:09 PM but fuck it) and I’m still not seeing any problems, so I think I’m good.

@SuperSupermario24  
Problems?

@warc9  
he expects eye complications from viewing the eclipse without proper protection.

@PonyPon  
Oh.
 
 
I hope everything turns out ok for you, maybe talk to an optometrist?@SuperSupermario24

@Corrderio  
And one last rant: I want to smack whoever made updates to the database table this application uses.

I have a good rant for ya.
 
Don’t you just love it when people are being dipshits so you tell them to please calm down and they throw the classic “you’re not a mod so fuck off” card in your face? I just wanna bitch slap those arrogant fuckers…

@PonyPon  
I think I’m probably in the clear, since I don’t think I looked at it for a much longer period at once than I usually ever look at the sun, and I’m not having any issues 24 hours later.

Y’know, I was thinking about actually writing a fanfic. A dramatic one.
 
I ask you guys, because I’m actually using inner fears and emotions to fuel the writing, like, give it a good plot, and make the writing good, because I’m using parts of my life into this, like, minor references. Is it okay if I tell you my idea?
 
I don’t wanna tell it in the Fanfic general because I feel the audience would be better here.
 
Hell, I joined derpi for the fanfiction, I just moved on to RP because it was like a story that can go a long way.

@Dave33333  
Sure, fire away.
