True, was just looking for something to vent. Needing to repeat the class and getting by the skin of my teeth now has me on edge a bit. Doesn't help that I have two weeks before finals to get my shit together soon.
fucking flies. recently in ireland it's been five quadrillion degrees celsius and the flies are festering all over the damn house. they're everywhere and my fly killers have just gave up the ghost and fucking died. this shit is getting unbearable
Police incident caught on tape:
“Just wait, people will ask for context again!”
Like it’s a bad thing.
Hell the grade is leagues better than last semester. One missing assignment sure, but I'm 100% prepared to do everything on time with the best of my retained knowledge.
Need this motivation.
Trying to sell an older car is miserable.
First you say oh, I need a new-ish (used) car anyways so i'll see what a trade-in could give me. I mean hey, maybe they'll lose a bit on the trade to make the bigger profit off the car they sell you.
Then nobody wants to take it, or they offer something insultingly low ($400 for a car that's running decently, has a near pristine interior and good exterior? Fuck off).
Then you post it on craigslist/whatever other sites exist and you get a bunch of scam calls and nothing else.
Flies that keep landing on your face every 2 god damn seconds.
But what REALLY gets me is bullshit clickbait articles that say "<thing>: release date and more", you scroll down and the release date isn't a fucking date and is some bullshit guess. I wish sites would get fined hard for this type of bullshit.
Alright this is a mega gripe that's exclusively reserved for fucking RTS games.
Stupidly short ranges on unit weapons.
Look at me I'm in this tank with a BIG GUN, lemme just drive 5 meters up to this guy to get in range
very young kids that have their own expensive smart phone or tablet makes me irrationally mad for some reason
miserable mother with that shitty soccer mom haircut (you know, the type of person that wants to speak to your manager)
Is it this one?

My internet has been absolute shit as of the last few days and I have no idea why
Windows as a service is horrible.
summertime depression hitting me something fierce today huh.

The random "Save the stranger within 5 seconds!!!!" events in Red Dead Redemption.
Like 99/100 times I fail because of stupid shit like "Oh the bad guys are shooting at the good guy" but you can't even tell who the bad guys are in the situation because they don't show up on the map unless you've already shot at them. And you can't even make them out because the game's such a blurry 460p 30hz mess of pixels that half the time I end up shooting the wrong fucking guy
Or the person who I was supposed to save from being hanged. I don't understand what I could've done different. I shot the guys before they did anything and it still happened.
Or the woman who was being chased by coyotes. I failed that because the game takes ages for you to get off the horse but ONLY WHEN YOU REALLY NEED TO DO IT FAST and by the time I was even able to aim at the coyotes, the woman had fucking 5 of them on her and she died.
The fucking horses man, when you really need to get off of them, they just fucking go full speed into a tree.
I hate my job.
I basically make web pages for this internal system that is very complicated. I don't understand any of it, I just make what they ask for. The work isn't that bad but it's everything else that sucks.
They give me a task in the issue tracking system, and the guy in charge of deciding what code is good enough to merge tells me what I should do for it. He's picky but that's his job. It was really complicated, but I made something up to his standards and I felt kind of proud of it, but then at 5 when I'm about to leave, our manager messages us and says it's completely not what I was supposed to do. The task in the system did say to do something different from what I did, but these ALWAYS end up getting passed around and have their meaning changed because making a new task is kind of annoying, but no one ever records the changes in the system. Plus work on the task had already been logged in the system, and the page it said to make already existed, so I assumed that what the task said to do was already done.
The merge guy just told me to make what the task was originally for and didn't apologize and wasn't even sympathetic. Apparently he had a misunderstanding when talking with someone else about it, because of course he did because no one writes anything down in this fucking company.
The worst part is I tried to talk with our manager about what I made this morning but he is so busy all he has time to do is tell people to do things and then yell at them when it isn't what he wanted.
What I ended up making will probably be used at some point so it's not a total loss, but I just feel so drained.
Drawing or writing left handed is absolute shit. You can't see how you're writing your words so your handwriting would be blown away by a 1st grader and the drawing part isn't any better either.
"I don't this, this is stupid."
Two things. This is such an atrocious complain, tt literally says nothing about the things you're complaining about game. Also, it's a contradiction. If it was stupid, it would be pretty easy to understand. Both say something about your intelligence.
My alarm clock didn't go off today, so I was almost late for work! Luckily I checked my phone early enough for me to make it, but still.
Usually you can just right click and block that too.
The worst one I saw was one that refreshed the page when you scrolled past the adblock message.
Still was fast enough to download the thing I was there for.
Can’t wait for Apple to “invent” this!
Apple rarely ever claimed to invent anything. They talk about innovation, but I guess that word doesn’t mean anything anymore.
Also, people like to forget how right Steve Jobs was about Flash... and CDs... and floppies... and how he bought Xerox’s technology instead of stealing it like Gates claimed they both did.
I just wish more people bashed Apple for legitimate reasons like any other corporation.
innovate as in give an existing invention an apple aesthetic, slap a logo on it and sell it for 3 times the going rate to people who don't know any better... then yeah... innovate
So the first iPhone wasn’t innovative at all? What about the Apple Lisa, or the iPod?
There’s more to a device’s value than its specs: you must consider its research & development costs, such as hardware solutions & software, including its Unix-based operating system specifically optimized for the hardware.
Shattered some of my phone screen somehow.
$199 to replace it
The iPhone's main innovation was a multi-touch touchscreen, which was pretty amazing at the time. It was not, as many people seem to believe, the first smartphone. Blackberry had been making them for years (though calling them PDAs, which were just smartphones before the name changed), as well as things like the Danger Hiptop (aka the T-Mobile Sidekick).
The Apple Lisa was an over priced machine with a terrible processor which bottlenecked the rest of the system. It was also a system which required a whole new OS if you wanted to use a different keyboard. The MacIntosh released only 1 year later was much faster (though less powerful overall) and cost less than half of what the Lisa did.
The iPod was not at all an innovation and it probably one of the best examples of Apple claiming to have innovated something when they were several years behind. Digital audio players like the Rio PMP300 or the MPMan (though the MPMan was widely considered to be pretty crap). Not to mention Sony had been keeping the Walkman brand alive as a portable CD player through the 90s.
Just like the iPad, which Apple showed off as an innovation, they generally take concepts which already exist and give them a sleeker look while marketing the fuck out of them. Apple don't really innovate, they mostly take things which are gaining popularity and use their money to jump to the front of public reception.
And these days, unlike when Steve Jobs was in charge, Apple don't give two shits about quality any more. They're pretty much solely riding on their name now.
I suppose that’s fair, so can you give examples of companies that are more deserving of the innovators’ title?
I don't think any company is particularly innovative or that we should be praising them as such. Many companies have innovated one or two things and used it to be successful, many have done the same and failed, most companies don't innovate at all and succeed based on the quality of their products and/or their marketing.
The vast majority of technological advancement is iteration, not innovation. Building on old tech and making it better is a slow but steady means of advancement, while innovation can only happen with the right circumstances and the right people. A company can not be consistently innovative because the circumstances which allowed one innovation do not necessarily beget another.
Product quality and consumer support is far more important than who jumped on an idea first. I don't care who made the first smartphone, I care who made the best smartphone.

thanks for telling me this riiiight after i redeem my code for the closed preview of this one game
why the fuck do you have to be 18 to even open the xbox insider app
I think the better question is why didn't you like about your age like everyone else?
Also, why do I have to send in my charger for a screen replacement Samsung?
