  • Yes, clearly you're the asshole. :P
  • What the fuck is wrong with advertising nowadays? The video popped up a survey after an ad for Disneyland before I could watch the video.

    Fortunately I just hit X.
  • Ads have QTEs now? Thank goodness for adblock.

    No just a one-question survey asking if you were more likely to buy tickets to Disneyland now. I clicked the X button to exit it and it let me watch my video.

    I've had my new external hard drive for less than two weeks and its already gone belly-up. Worse, it was in that slim period between my second new hard drive arriving, and me having fully transferred all my media to it so that I could free up space on my computer. So while no work or anything was lost, 500 gigs of tv and movies are locked on this stupid thing.

    It's not bricked, because the light is still flashing and the hard drive is spinning, and my devices detect a USB Mass Storage device, but it's not showing up as a drive. Bluh.

    Press X to Disneyland?
  • I chipped my tooth while eating boneless wings and all the dentist offices that would take my coverage are currently closed.
  • Took me three variations of spoiler code to get one that WORKS on Vanillaforums.

    Yeah, the spoiler tag is pretty dodgy, especially given that it doesn't conform to the SGML-based approach that's used for most other things.

    the one that worked was BBCode but by now I'm used to HTML. D:
  • That's a pretty great example because it supports every argument save for "more guns=less violence" and similarly odd phenomena.
  • I do feel even just having a record of arrest, whether or not it leads to a trial, needs to be a yellow flag.
  • Those bits must be expensive to ship!

    Wow... I had no idea the gouging was that bad... No wonder the Australian government is laying the smack down on them.
  • I have never once felt badly about pirating Photoshop. I pay for all of my third-party filters, though.

    I'm 100% sure I have said this before on the forum, probably more than once - It would absolutely be cheaper to fly to the US, have a short holiday, buy CS6, and fly home than it would be to buy it here. Christ, I'm pretty sure that on at least one occasion I said it, we couldn't even BUY CS6 here, so I was going by the price for CS5.

    Even in the industry, it's not too uncommon to pirate photoshop, at least for small operations . Students do so almost universally.

    This is sadly too true. The number of times I was just told "Can't you just download it?" No, No you can't! I'm not going to commit a felony just so the business can save a grand. It's not worth it on moral grounds, ignoring any legal justifications.

  • --I'm practically running my lab group right now.
    --One of our group members is not giving me his set of slides.
    --They're the discussion slides, so they're the most important part of our oral.
    --I've got an exam and a 5pg report due tomorrow, and on top of that, I'm also probably going to have to do this asshole's work.

    Fuck everything about this.

    At some point in college I started just doing the entire project myself, or at least as much as I could do, to mitigate the inevitable failure of my project-mates. No one really liked being told not to worry, I already figured they'd try to fuck the rest of us and did their work for them.

  • Just spent 45 minutes arguing with a self-professed "History teacher at a prestigious high school with a Master's degree" on reddit who insists that Socialism and Fascism are utterly synonymous.

    *sigh*

    You're not a professional graphic designer. My wife is. We have to pay for that stuff. It sucks, but at least it's also a tax deduction.
  • Creative Cloud, dudes.
  • It snowed in Leeds. This can mean only one thing, that despite it forecasting snow, the council did nothing about it, so the whole city centre grinded to a halt. So instead of taking me 20-30mins to get home on the bus, it took me 2 hours. And that is only because I got bored for waiting for a bus and decided to walk home.
    Oh it only snowed a tiny bit, like 1 cm, if that.

    Of the two group projects that I had this year both have been ruined by one guy who could take no criticism and made the worst slide shows ever.

    Those people rank just below the self taught amateur. The cruel irony being that in history at least having an MA doesn't mean squat. Its either a PHD or a BA the MA is only good in an academical sense as a stepping stone to a PHD. If you are bragging about your MA then you could not cut it at higher education.

    I need an aspirin. Seriously.
    I don't even...
    I am so sorry, brain, for what I just subjected you to. Let's read some white papers. That'll make you feel better.

  • Wouldn't a chart showing that the top 1% pays 75% of the taxes be seen as proof of income inequality?
  • It's disconcerting how easy it is to identify the "really crazy" among the "crazy" by poor grammar.
