Mine *touch wood* hasn't been as shit as it is usually, weird |:

[Toadball]

Argh! I call bull on this recession being over nonsense, only jobs available to me involve testing experimental drugs for various things or bollywood choreogrpahy. Drug testing I like to let animals and idiots have the monopoly on that...

Damn this phase of generically sucky student indy bands* not having any financial aspirations incase they are deemed to be selling out!
Bring back unsigned metal bands I can at least get money from them in Glasgow!

*A further note of thanks to Emergenza for ceasing support for Glasgow based bands by removing us from the preliminary stages of the contest, way to remove incentive for unsigned acts! and indirectly crushing potential income for me!

People want to see you fail up your end :|

These new phone ads on youtube, or as I like to call them "oh hey, I see your browser hasn't crashed yet, here, let me help you with that".

I'm not against adverts (f*ck you BBC) but it seems some companies seem to have lost the plot slightly. I'm not a marketing genius, but I think making people despise your product and company isn't the best way to sell stuff. Jus' saying.

[pMASTER]

Daylight saving time. Hitler introduced it over here, that says it all!

Oh and speaking of ads and commercials: adult friendfinder-ish popups are truly a pain in the ass. Though it's funny to see how the girls they tout move to a new place every time I dial in again.

Getting up at half six (half past six, for you crazy German types who think half six means half five!), thinking you have an exam in an hour or two, only to find out it's actually in the late afternoon...

We need to revive the community! Do your part! Engage in fun threads!


What's annoying: cleavage shots where the model intends to arouse you with her cleavage, yet wears a necklace so ridiculously large that you can hardly see anything!

[pMASTER]

Surviving endless rows of captchas, countdowns and ads-ridden relinks only to get a 404 error upon attempting to download a desperately needed old driver.

[Benoist]

Since we're with the annoying things, I can add when more than two threads have new posts. It's always spam.

[pMASTER]

Ah! Sweet!
I fail to see why we don't frequent these threads more often - isn't it great to rant about annoying stuff and take pleasure in seeing that other people suffer from the same kind of shit as you do?

What I find very annoying is when something embarrassing ruins me entire day.
Had two of those incidents today (FML!).

One of the staff with my oncologist's is the cutest thing. Truth be told I never know if I want to bang her hard or just keep her in a glass like a butterfly. Anyways, as I was laying there waiting for the check-up to commence suddenly she felt urged to explain to me how to best conceal an erection if need be.

Oi! Wait, my day got even more embarrassing.

After my stay at the doctor's I went to the jeweler to have my broken wristwatch fixed. Way into the official opening hours I was still waiting for the shop to open at last. With me there waited a gal my age. As she was looking kind of annoyed too I thought I should chat her up and went for a joke: pointing at the watches in the showcase I said "It sucks when customers can see by the shopkeeper's own goods how late they are". She was like "uhhahaha, yeah, well...".
Finally the shopkeeper arrived - and who'd be waiting for me inside on the other side of the counter? The very same gal, who turned out to be the shopkeeper's daughter and new co-clerk.

And something entirely else: nanny state arrived on the internet. Today Firefox simply refused to run Flash Player and whatnot because of "This plugin is out of date. You should update it". Well?! Erase "should", insert "must", right? Screw you.

lol oh dude. wtf was she testing for that might give you wood?? and how the hell do you conceal an erection ... without hiding it in her
Sounds like your gunna get a whole lot of broken watch back there buddy lol Maybe when you go back you could ask her if you could help with her time keeping ^^

If had to rant at people id rant at the privacy morons.

Moron - "omg i dont want Obama reading my facebook updates, the internet polices itself we should ban spying and the NSA" ...
le me - "Sooo you'd be alright with people using facebook to organise terrorist attacks?"
Moron - "well no the authorities would catch them"
Le me - ..........

The world would be more pissed off if no one was actually monitoring electronic data for cells. 9/11 ... yeah we set that up on Netscape!

Of course, the calibre of criminal that uses facebook for that sort of thing usually ends up getting caught regardless (You've got to love the daily mail, tits on page 3, but god forbid we print the word "fuck" Oh wait I'm thinking of the Sun there aren't I? 'eh, not much between them anyway.)

Facebook "spying" is pretty dumb to begin with. It's really just data mining, people can't expect their personal details to remain secret if they put them in a public place. And it's not even like they're being encouraged to do so, it actually takes effort to do. It's like spray-painting your bank details on the side of your house. Someone's going to spend all your money, and I don't blame them.

[Elliot Carver]

In a world where you can go to prison for 2 years for saying on Twitter 'typical Muslims stabbing a soldier to death in London' and only get 13 months inside for raping underage girls ... 15 years ago (Stuart Hall) it doesn't really matter anymore, everything is too messed up on its head. Fridays budget - we saved 11.5 billion *yay* oh wait ... we still borrowed 120bn last year, another 80bn this year. In other words we borrowed the NHS or the Welfare budget. We'd have to completely get rid of the entire health service or the entire benefits system just to break even. What makes me laugh is if a country like Rwanda was allowed to borrow 100bn a year it'd be a first world country too

That little fun fact the government loves to hide - Dave and Osborne are working on the Deficit = the gap between the amount we make (GDP) and the amount we spend (Budget). Thats not our Debt. The UK national debt is £1.3 trillion (Q1, 2013) ... or our entire GDP for 3 years.
Remember we saved 11.5bn in Fridays budget...<10% of the amount we have to borrow in 2014, <0.1% of our entire debt ...

Look at the country again ... look at other countries, see how they have progressed over the past 5 years and we haven't. See how everyone is poor and has to "club together in these times of austerity" but behind the scenes the top 2% are getting massively rich. Thats why you don't vote Conservative. Or now Liberal Democrat who let these feckless twats in or Labour who were borrowing so heavily they nearly doubled the national debt in a decade and caused the financial crisis in the first place. 2005 General Election i abstained from voting as i said "there was no one who i felt fit to represent me" and i was really hated for it by friends and family who said 'our right to vote is what our grandfathers beat the nazis for'. 7 1/2 years later after sticking by my own guns everyone says i was right all along ...

Country needs a decent military coup.

Could rant all day baby but i got O2 modeling to rock

[pMASTER]

Absolutely! The worst thing is that today you cannot even advocate the full rigour of the law anymore as that is soooo reactionary and downright right-wing. But as you say, yet still violating the code of newspeech is a criminal offence.

lol oh dude. wtf was she testing for that might give you wood??

Mood question without having seen her.

and how the hell do you conceal an erection ...

Rubbing your forearm (with your hands, you bloody pig!) makes the blood vessels there contract more blood hence shrinking the erection.

without hiding it in her

I'm not happy with the NSA scanning the entire interweb either - the problem is it could even be legal as the whole net periphery is situated in the US of A of all countries - but it's not security concerns that kill my outrage but how people deal with it. I mean, why do people who post nudies online for the whole wide world to see complain about the NSA scanning their FB conversations for "suspicious" words? What is this? You'll show them your junk but when they scan for the word "bomb" its a breach of privacy?

Oh, yes, annoying things: Edward Snowden. Can't open a newspaper anymore without his goddamn mug being everywhere.

You have the right to vote... though, you can only really vote for the 3 main parties, and they basically stand for the same thing, raise taxes, cut public spending and line their own pockets as much as they can.

Don't like it? Throw away your vote by trying for someone else! They can't win because no one votes for them, because they'd be throwing away their vote since they can't win! Absolutely no problem with the system there!

Say, as a community, how much of the NSA's time do you think we waste with TERRORIST and BOMB addons?

[pMASTER]

^
How many parties you found on the last ballot? Only 3? Or wasn't it something like 13? 23? 33?!
You can hardly know that they really aren't up to the task if you never want to give them the chance. With all that talking about how much of a sucker the established parties are, how could that be the worse alternative? I don't get it.

Annoying: Rejectionists.

[D@V£]

^
How many parties you found on the last ballot? Only 3? Or wasn't it something like 13? 23? 33?!

Far too many. And that's also part of the problem, there's so many "alternative" parties that not enough people vote for any one of them. Which leads to the wonderful situation where you're "represented" by some asshole flown in to a safe seat by the Labour party because his hometown kicked him out for being a corrupt bastard. Don't like him? Your other option is a some Tory asshole who knows he's not going to win because it's a safe seat for labour, so didn't even bother campaigning and spent the money on a new allotment instead.

End result, you end up with the lovely situation where Labour and the Lib Dems both get around 25% of the vote, yet, somehow Labour have 40% of the house and the Lib Dems only have 10%. Democracy in action, ladies and gentlemen!

Sure, you can vote for Uncle Ewyn's home grown vegetable party, since the system isn't proportional, and there's no transferable vote, Uncle Ewyn could come second in every constituency in the country, actually have the majority of the votes in the entire country, and still not get one ounce of representation in government. It's lovely how fucked up our voting system is.

Of course there's people who want to change it, but since it's massively beneficial to Labour and the Conservatives, no one's ever going to support in parliament, instead, they're more than happy to vote on far more important issues, for example, an increase in the amount of money MPs get paid!

[Elliot Carver]

Which is exactly why i said "there was no one who i felt fit to represent me". I know so many liberal democrat voters who feel ashamed their vote was used to let the conservatives into power, im glad im not part of that bunch. So if i don't vote for the main 3 my choices are murder a black person or live in a cave whilst waiting 30 years for British industry to catch up with the rest of the world. Or i can vote, as you say, for someone with a personal agenda to change something local, like stopping a wind farm or cuddling TB infested badgers.

I want a party that will actually do stuff to tackle the sh*t country we now live in. Stop underage pregnancy, stop the booze culture, stop the slut culture, make education free again, build a decent military, get rid of nukes, stop paying people not to work, make glasses available on the NHS, lower transport costs, actually use taxes to pay for things, tackle crime properly, install a proportionate justice system, not build HS2 and spend the money on replacing Heathrow ... the list is endless. All we've had for 5 years is insignificant cuts to the public sector and the pseudofear of recession.

When a political party starts saying the things i want to hear then i will invest my vote. Until then my vote is staying with me.

[Elliot Carver]

Also to rant some more - Snowden

I refuse to believe that a sh*t hot analyst at the top of his field with access to the entire NSA suite and 4 years planning only made it for 10 days before getting stuck.

• Why not gain asylum first before you make the USAs most wanted list?
• Why travel to China and then Russia and not direct to Ecuador or Venezuela?
• Out of all the media outlets he goes to The Guardian newspaper, Why?
• He spends his entire career hacking, spying and stealing for the NSA, CIA and private black op shell companies then suddenly has a change of heart throwing away a $200,000 a year, mansion in Hawaii, FHM top 100 girlfriend and a Ferrari 458 lifestyle?

There must be more to this than is being reported in the media

[D@V£]

A sense of morality, perhaps? I can see why, with modern media, you'd have reason to doubt this exists. But, hey, it's an explanation, and a good enough one for me I mean, if people are dumb enough to believe in stuff like Christianity, then I don't see how someone thinking they shouldn't be spying on each other is too outlandish

(Don't get me wrong! I enjoy spying on people as much as the next guy. The next guy is Mark, though, so there may be a degree of bias in that statement.)

As for the path, getting from the US to Hong Kong is pretty easy, Ecuador, not so much. After the leak, they revoked his passport. Have you ever tried going somewhere without a passport? It's not as easy Hollywood would have you believe (Or at least, not as easy for someone who's used to modern comforts. Something about being huddled in the back of a freezer truck for a few days with a hundred other bodies, a corpse or two and very little air doesn't appeal to westerners. I can't imagine why.)
