Mac computers

Unbearably stupid systems that make the promise of staying virus-free hardly worth going through figuring out the overcomplicated layout.
Also, for something that assures it cannot have viruses or malware, I can't say the millions of pop-ups and advertisement banners my sister's boyfriend gets when browsing the internet convinces me of that fact. If the claim is that "at least your files will be safe and it's just when browsing", I am not impressed. Especially not when looking at the price tag of these things.

Mac is certainly not for the regular person, and while I've had a Mac in front of me more than once, I can't help but grunt every time I meet up with this thing. There is no getting used to it, it lacks logic. It's like Apple watched Windows and said "We can make the same thing, but make it so complicated, nobody could ever say we're copying these guys, and people who willingly buy our computers will feel smarter than the rest of the world".

When people get more famous than me for doing the same thing

And doing it weeks, months or years later.

Let's not pretend that no one wants to get famous, or at least "well-known", and I'm not going to pretend to be modest. It stings when your idea could've taken you to the top, but instead, it brought someone else to the top or that person gets all the credit for it.

Though, it's usually the case that that person was already better known than you, and then it only makes sense when they get the credit.



Asking respect for bad behaviour


A little while ago I heard the song "Stay High" (the Habits remix) for the first time, and while I really like it, upon taking a closer listen to the lyrics and having listened to the original song, I was already thinking about writing an article about my dislike for people who drink and fuck their brains out just because they're depressed, but after reading the comments on both songs, there was something that annoyed me a bit more.

There are actually people that say things like "The disapproving people just don't understand, they haven't experienced real sorrow", or something in that sense.

What? So, are we supposed to understand and respect those who land their tongue in the throat of every person they come across, just because their partner broke up with them? Their ex will be thrilled to know that, especially when he/she is considering to come back to them.
Never mind that an ended relationship is hardly a reason to act like a bitch (go to a third world country to get some real problems), how about demanding our respect for the people who actually get help and go to therapy, or those who simply don't drink, party and have sex till they drop to "numb the pain"?
Our society is so trained to embrace the extreme cases, while we ignore all the good efforts done by people who experienced the same pain, or even worse.

Do not ask me to respect addicted whores. There is never a good reason to be an addicted whore.

The Pokémon characters in Smash Brothers

I've seen multiple announcements of "all the amazing" playable/unlockable characters in the new Super Smash Brawl float by, but I'm not sure if I'm really impressed.

Why do we always get these specific Pokémon characters? The Pokémon you get to play as are always so random, I'm not sure what the point is. The continuous return of Pikachu is the only one that makes sense.
Nintendo's choice to add Mewtwo in the second game was understandable as well, as he was a legend in and outside of the game, but why was Lucario the one to stay? Why did we get the Pokémon trainer character, which is basically all 3 starter Pokémon in one? And why Jigglypuff? The thing sucks and already looks too much like Kirby.


Why did Mewtwo never make a return to the Smash Brawl series; but friggen Jigglypuff and Lucario do? Of all starter Pokémon, why do we have Charizard in this new instalment? Of all the new starter Pokémon, why Greninja? He's the least cool, in my opinion.

I once thought that they were following this rule where the most popular Pokémon at the moment gets added, but if that were the case, Lucario and Jigglypuff would not be in this game two times in a row, and characters like Meowth or Zoroark would be a part of it by now.

The Voice Kids Australia

I talked about the bullshit that happens on TV talent shows before, but while I'm watching this year's The Voice Kids auditions from Australia, I just can't contain myself:

I found the judges on this particular version of the show to be sucking the dick of every child that hits the stage. This in the sense they turn their chairs for every single shitty singer that barfs out their song, simply because it's a child.

How will you teach children anything if you make them believe a "try" is the same as a "victory"? You don't have to be a dick, but come on, send these children away with some helpful criticism. While I'm browsing through the Australian auditions, I have yet to find one singer I even slightly like, but these pussy judges turn their chairs for all of them. Just what the shit. The fact the ability to vote is disabled on these videos says enough.


I'll give you the last drop and motivation for this article:
