What’s the Use?

April 23, 2007

Seriously. It is disgusting.

Here we are, NYRA, trying to make some kind of difference for young people. Youth are treated like shit in our society, and nobody cares. Hell, they want it to happen. They want it to keep happening and to a greater extent.

I know anyone who is reading this already agrees, but screw it, I’m saying it anyway. YOU are the problem! YOU are destroying the world!

Pathetic Dumb excuse for a File

March 24, 2007

What’s so great about PDFs anyway? I’m sick of coming across these stupid things all over the damn internet.

“Oh, but it shows what the document would look like once printed! It’s so great! Yay!”

No, it’s not great. I mean, I can see where they have their purpose now and then, sure. But you get to some of these webpages that seems like every page is a damn PDF!

Tattoo Taboo

March 12, 2007

I hereby decree…

Quit the tattoo discrimination!

Personally, I would never get a tattoo. Not only am I deathly afraid of needles, but I just don’t fancy a permanent painting in my skin. Not my bag.

However! I’m sick of how society seems to view people with tattoos with such disgust. God forbid someone isn’t standing perfectly straight with perfectly short groomed hair in a perfectly pressed little grey suit.

iPod for the Lose

March 4, 2007

And now, for a handheld musical edition of…

YOU SUCK!!!

I think it’s obvious at this point. iPods suck. Granted, I don’t have one. I’ve never really used one. I’m sure they work just fine. So what am I bitching about if I don’t even have one? Simple. It’s the hype around them and the idea that they’re somehow so special that it seems everything needs to be about them.

Teenagers, Oh My!

January 31, 2007

I know this is two in a row now, but here’s another set of people who seriously should…

SHUT THE HELL UP!!!

These whiny parents and grandparents who feel like they just have to make the same tired “joke” about the “ordeal” it is when their children are teenagers.

“Oh, kids are great, but then they become teenagers!”
“Wait until your kids are teenagers, then you’ll feel sorry for all the horrible things you did at that age.”
“Have teens around makes you age very fast!”

*headdesk*

Lost Six Days!

January 14, 2007

And now, for a furious, data-loss induced edition of…

YOU SUCK!

I refer to web host, UN Site Solutions. They don’t host this site, but they host NYRA. You know, it’s always a damn problem with them! We keep having major server issues, lots and lots of downtime, and occasional lost data. Then today I get on to find we lost EVERYTHING since January 8!

They don’t back things up as often as they should. This is not acceptable! We lost important e-mails. Important message board posts. Important member information. Everything!

Not to mention they are really fussy about CPU usage crap that other hosts don’t care about. It’s irritating as all hell.

Plus, lately we’ve been having a problem of threads disappearing on the NYRA forums. No idea why. None of our tech staff knows why. UNSS certainly doesn’t know why. Despicable.

And they tend to lock IPs out of being able to access their hosted sites, for no reason.

Just sick of it. We pay them ridiculous amounts of money to host us, and they do this crap all the time. Sad thing is, they’re still better than the host we had before.

L-L-Lay Off D-D-Dubya

January 3, 2007

Now for a political, oral version of…

SHUT THE HELL UP!

Okay, believe it or not, I’m actually about to defend the president, George W. Bush. Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t vote for him. I’m not for this “war” or the Patriot Act or for really any of his policies for that matter, although chances are there might be some here and there I might agree with, but not nearly enough for my support.

So, enough of the part where I tell the liberals to get back in their seats and extinguish their torches, time for some pwning.

Don’t Watch It

January 1, 2007

First off, Happy New Year! This is the very first entry of 2007. Huzzah!

Anyway, back to it.

You know what I’m sick of? American Idol. I keep hearing ads that its new season is starting up soon. Oh, my, I’m wetting myself with joy. Not. Of course, I’m not alone in this sentiment. Anyone with half a brain can tell you that American Idol, as well as the plethora of similar shows tainting what could be somewhat decent network airways, is about as interesting and intellectually stimulating as a wet ball of brown paper towels. No, scratch that. The wet paper towels can be interesting sometimes.

Coffee Please?

December 29, 2006

Now for a caffeinated, customer service lacking edition of…

YOU SUCK!

Office Depot. They seriously suck.

So, at work, we’ve got this little single serve coffee machine with a bunch of little cups of coffee and tea that go into it. This one company supplied it for us, and, honestly, their service sucked ass. As does the coffee itself, but it’s all we’ve got. They got orders wrong. Orders got delayed. Major mess.

So then they get bought out by Office Depot.

And, if you can believe it, they are even WORSE!

Mouths of Babes

December 17, 2006

Anyone else sick of this shit?

“The strangest things come out of the mouths of babes!”

The standard chauvinistic adult remark at some off the wall comment a kid makes. The basis of that stupid ass show “Kids Say the Darndest Things”. Yes, let’s not treat children like they are communicating. Let’s just laugh at them and their little naivete. Not like they’re people.
