Ever had one of THOSE days? I'm having one of those WEEKS! (gay snit inside)

[Bubba]

Bear with me here, I need to get this off my chest.

Begin hissy:

This week started off with me killing off 3 cartos in less than 3 days. I fiddled with voltage, wattage, juice, etc. Came here for advice, none of it worked. Went through a ton of juice due to this

Decided I was done jacking with the carto tanks and started using my Vape Only BCC. This thing has really been a tank. Until this week. Have gone through the last 2 heads I had for it. It floods, it gurgles, it makes tons of julienne fries! Everything but vape. Wanna mouth full of juice? You got it! How about alternating draws? No Problem! Wanna vape? Go $*%^ yourself!

So right now, I'm using one of the few remaining cartos I have until the new BCC's and heads get here. I can only hope that the new heads perform like they're supposed to. Once my carto's are gone, it's back to the Kanger T3. Nothing wrong with it, just mutes the flavor and tends to have a burnt/plastic taste. (Hence why I got into carto tanks)

Finally, while eating lunch at my desk (since I don't have time to actually stop for lunch), my beloved turkey sammich (that I've had daily for years) started tasting like farts. It was truly like eating a fart sammich. Of course I ate it anyway, since that's all I brought for lunch.

End hissy.

OK, I fell better now. At least a little

Not much of a flounce I must say...seen better...

and yes...I think everyone has had periods where everything just goes bullocks up...

 

[Rachy_B]

Yep...I've had a rotten week for cartos too! They were getting really gunked up really quickly! Bad times for us...but hopefully they're as bad as they're gonna get and things can look up from here!x

 

[Bubba]

Not much of a flounce I must say.

I'm not afraid to admit that I just had to look up "flounce"

Re-reading the OP, it is more of a protracted whine than a snit or hissy

Do we have to use "gay" as a negative term?

I wasn't using it in a derogatory manner...

So if I started a thread called "Girly worries about electricity", or "Being Jewish about cartomisers", it would be OK?

Whats a BBC?
User error? ( thats a dig BTW)

1. please lets not make this something that it is not. op said nothing out of line.

2. op promised a gay hissy fit..which i love to watch...however, i found this to be more on the lines of a vent. not a hissy fit..which is the correct term, wasnt even close.....but i do feel for ya...loosing all your vaping gear one piece at a time is a "true pisser". so op, i say to you ......vape on!

Based on the thread title, I entered under the assumption that Bubba is 'gay'. If so, then I got what I expected. If not, then I agree with you.

The PC police strike again!

Sometimes terms of abuse are normalised again, and lose their abuse character. There are situations where a white person can use the 'N' word to a black person, without being abusive - it's totally dependent on context. Still doesn't mean I'd use it on a forum without being very precise about what I meant.

Most of the LGBT people I know still find the use of 'gay' or '...' as insults, or signifiers of something wrong or inferior, offensive. They still feel that it normalises their oppression. Frankly if someone unironically calls someone a '...' online I think they aren't very literate.

Sorry to distract from the thread, but I think it's imortant to say that it isn't yet considered an 'apolitical' word by the people on the brunt of it.

There are probably hundreds of words you could pick to mean whatever you mean by "gay", so why pick that one, if that implied subtle insult by association isn't what you mean?

 

[AngelsBreath]

Who decided that a word that has been around for decades should be used to describe someone instead of what the word was originally intended for?

The term was originally used to refer to feelings of being "carefree", "happy", or "bright and showy"

And who decided that it was politically incorrect to use it anymore in the way it was originally intended? In fact, I have a friend named Gay! People get so hysterical over the smallest things.

I'm just sayin is all.

 

[AngelsBreath]

Oh and P.S. I thought the fart sammich was absolutely hilarious.

 

[generic mutant]

OK, fine, but negro just meant black skinned once.

If you are telling me calling someone "A negro" doesn't have political content, then you're wrong...

 

[gal66stang]

Bubba - sorry your turkey sammich tasted like farts...that sucks! Hope your new cartos get in soon...

 

[Faylool]

Oh for heavens sakes. I didnt even notice gay as anything in particular. But BCC i dont get.

 

[nickvegas]

Amen,I feel the same here there was no intent wat's so ever in his statement.

 

[JBL-37]

Oh, I thought there was happy snit in here, sorry bout your bad juju on the equipment...
Stay gay, it will all be ok...

What does a fart taste like anywho?

I'd have expected "a queen's rant" were that the case, or some other term that's not typically used by the general public in a demeaning fashion.

But alas, you may be correct. Apologies for derailing the thread. We can now return to the OP and his mouthful of juice.
