Randomness and Anger

Page history last edited by David 15 years ago

 Feel free to post about anything that is random or really pisses you off. Games, relationships, the economy, writers, whatever you want.

 

Today my cat shit on my floor and sadly that didn't bother me as much as the stuff I've seen on TV. A plane went down today in NY. I don't think anyone died and it wasn't a terrorist act. It turns out the pilot grounded the plane in icy waters after two birds, geese maybe, flew into an engine and caused it to fail. I'm sure the passengers were terrified, but this is not "breaking news" why would anyone want to know that a plane went down for an entire day. Why does it piss me off? Instead of reporting real news, (like: why gas prices are going up again; why our economy is in a shit state of affairs; why our nation is slowly sliding into a sciolist democracy) they report on a story that scares the shit out of people. It was on at least 5 channels, maybe 9 at most. Other than that, the bush "farewell speech(es)". Don't get me wrong, every president since W.Wilson has been/is a scumbag, but it really confuses me when I see a debate on a channel about whether or not Bush was a good president, and the question of how future generations will look at him. He's just a scumbag with more technology and persuasive techniques than past "defenders of the constitution and nation". This bullshit crisis was bound to happen. The more restrictions placed upon anyone, the more chaos it invokes. So when you hear about how this "advocate of change" president is going to fix everything, don't hold your breath. Watch his hands, instead of his mouth, and watch what his advisors do. One last note, watch the person's eyes. I believe, from reading different articles about psychology and poker, that eyes can show you quite a bit about someone.

 So today I was driving home from school, almost there, when Matrix ran out into the street in front of my car. I slammed the brakes, pulled over, and got out holding the leash that I keep in my car. Matrix is my neighbor's dog. He gets out all the time because the fence is short and he can jump it. He's excitable and young and tends to get into the street. He's also fucking magnificent. He's like a border collie, black and white, but bigger and fluffier and more beautiful. He behaves incredibly well and is very affectionate. If I could steal that dog...well, then I'd steal that dog. He jumps the fence because he is a dog; a dog and not a commodity. They put him, a gorgeous young border collie, one of the most active dog breeds you can find, in the backyard. Day after day after day. And not only that, as if locking up and denying him proper exercise weren't enough, they're too lazy to even add a foot to their fence so he won't get out every day and risk getting hit by a car. I'm so bloody sick of animals being treated as furniture. They need exercise and they need to see people every once in a while. People don't seem to understand that animals are a responsibility, much like a child, and not like plants to just be fed and watered and ignored every day. They're not expendable and they shouldn't be treated as such.

Is anyone else really fuckin pissed at these bullshit updates companies and web services keep forcing us to change to? Fuck PBWiki, I got the hang of font size in the old version, because it's the exact same as Word, numbers instead of percentages. Who the hell thought of this dumb idea. Maybe I'm retarded for not getting it. what the hell is the size of 85% font? I'm going to show how it messes up. This is 100%. This is 85%. This is 100% after selecting 85%. This is 115% look familiar, a second ago it was 100%. Now I've clicked on 85%. It shows 115, but in the pull down it shows 85. Anyone else experiencing this. My whole point is, why change something that works. Percentages are arbitrary, I like size 12 font, that doesn't change.

    Next, I-tunes. What the fuck? Even though you buy the songs, you actually rent them. You can only authorize 3 computers, so guess what you have a comp that crashes and your song are gone, unless you back them up. I still buy CD's and I still have a CD player, and I burn CD's. I also have an I-pod, any7one want to debate the sound quality talk to me. Anyways, I-tunes 7 something allowed me to actually burn CDs from I-tunes, now with 8, the driver isn't found. Call for support, they send you a bullshit article made by other people. I just want this shit to work so I can download music without 2 hours of headache. I'm starting to think what luck I might've have is running out. My main Comp received a virus, took it to Geek squad (which fixes something and breaks something else, much like mechanics) and because of some stupid site, all my files were corrupted. Backed it up to an external, but still have to go through the hassle of reloading, which I still havent. Now this crap with I-tunes, and forget about getting those 3,000 or so songs I previously downloaded back. 

   Obama's Craptastic webcasts- The commander-in-chief for some reason like to think he is technologically advanced, yet the streaming videos he posts to the loudspeakers (media) seem like they came out in the 90s. Can't this guy's tech advisers update a little bit? He must've hired some interns from a business school, certainly not programmers or tech-savy henchmen. You want proof that we are being run-over by the Japanese, look up some of the shit they've had for 10 years, and new stuff they've invented. Wars used to be fought for conquest through might, then the cold war through building explosives which never would've been used due to the ultimate destruction of all life. Now it will be through the ease of communication and technology. Hell even the Germans are beating us when it comes to solar energy. But let us keep saying we are No.1. I'll repeat something from Louis Black. Imagine if there was one guy in an office/school who constantly told people he was the best and that were it not for him, everyone else would be lost and homeless. That's US, and we're almost out of reasons for why this is so. For, by, and of the people. Not the media, not politicians, not the banks, car companies, or investment firms. It's easy to fool people into socialism if it takes a long time getting there- David. 3-20
