Rant

I remember a time when the news would refuse to show something and I’d go to YouTube to see the uncensored clip.

But today I was reminded of how bad YouTube has gotten when a YouTube video censored a news clip because the anchor said “died”.

And this has led to the dumb trend of new terms like “unalive” and “self delete” like that makes it any different. It just moves to the next term that the algorithm will pick up on and lead to another dumb term to avoid the censors.

But for what? Like we did we get to this point? Who gives a fuck if they talk about suicide or death and it’s in context? Someone could be talking about a serious topic like their failed attempt and warning someone to not try it and that video gets removed/hidden. Good job, YouTube.

I’ve been making some videos too and it’s stupid the things I’ve had to avoid just to ensure my hard work doesn’t get hidden or removed because YouTube doesn’t like a term I used, even if it was in proper context. I’m not even getting paid for my videos but I don’t want my hard work going in vain. I release my videos on multiple platforms and it makes me want to skip YouTube, altogether, but I only keep it because it’s the most popular.

It’s so fucking stupid. The internet used to be the place to go to get the real story without unnecessary censors.

This is the kind of shit that makes me embrace piracy more and more.

Years ago, we bought this software that specializes in something we do at work. Super specialized software but met all of our needs. Expensive at $600 per license, but it was supposed to be for “life”. So we figured it was worth it.

Until we upgraded to Windows 11 this year because Windows 10 won’t be supported after October this year.

We upgraded the computers (yes, we bought multiple licenses of this, some even as late as last year, so only got a few uses) and didn’t think twice about it. But after upgrading, this software now shows as unlicensed.

No worries, we kept our licensing information in an event like this. Oh, it doesn’t recognize it. Oh, their specialized number changed too! Wtf alright, well I’ll just reach out to their support for help.

Their support is super slow and not just because they’re on the other side of the world. I have to usually reach out to “sales” to get someone to actually help me. Days later, they respond saying that we need to pay for a “reissuance” of the license because the OS changed.

Huh…?

It just upgraded! It’s still the same computer we installed it to. Wtf dude. How is this fair?

This is like your car’s transmission going out while still under warranty and the manufacturer denying a warranty replacement because the tires and color of the car changed. Yes, the VIN we gave the car is still the same, even the license plate is the same…but yeah, we won’t honor this without you paying us because it’s fundamentally a new car now!

Go fuck yourself. Truly.

This is not a new computer. This is the same computer. This is a new update that we didn’t necessarily want but we have no choice in the matter. You can verify that your software has been installed here since the day we activated with your license.

No pirated version exists for this nor would we use it since we’d get in trouble for it. But man, this is the kind of crap that deserves a pirated copy because this is absurd. I can understand being paid for your hard work and trying to avoid people skirting around paying you for each computer they install to, but this is overdoing it. You’re now being greedy and double dipping. No other software we use has this problem. And $600 is a bit much when you do this kind of crap. Even if you are only charging partial for “reissuance”.

Twice in a row now I’ve had to pull my dog in another direction due to people walking their dogs without a leash. Why tf do you feel so confident in your damn dog to not react? In fact I don’t fucking care. It’s a fucking law and it’s inconsiderate of other individuals and their pets. Seriously fuck you. Nobody cares how well trained your dog is or whatever the fuck you’re doing to stroke your damn ego.

Loud fucking people

Some people are just fucking loud. I'm sitting here in Starbucks and some jackass old man across the room is yapping so fucking loud. It's as if he's shouting and the entire fucking room can hear him yapping about some inane topic.

So loud people: are you oblivious to how loud and obnoxious you are? Do you just not give a shit?

I consider people who do this to be trashy, stupid, and obnoxious. Same category of people who FaceTime and watch YouTube and talk on their speakerphones in public places. I have contempt for every single one of you, and I will take every opportunity to be just as rude & inconsiderate to you as you are to everybody around you constantly.

First off, NO I wasn't on reddit all day lol second this shit is so prevalent in the r/horror and other related subs and it's pissing me off.

Hereditary is an ok/decent scary movie. Its not the best or the worst. I'm so fuckin tired of the shilling for hErEdITaRy. Like it's the best horror master piece of all time. Hello! That just means you haven't seen a lot of fucking movies.

What is with this cock sucking for Hereditary man? I don't get it and it's so fucking annoying to see.

What pissed me off,is in the first picture the first comment, the guy is talking about the movie Tusk, then, (idk if the second guy was being sarcastic or serious)

The second guy turns the discussion into fucking Hereditary..... like oh muh god. He's talking about tusk, NOT fucking Hereditary. Jesus this shit drives me nuts!

The 3 other pictures is just proof of the circle jerking for that movie. And guess what? Low and behold, there's even a sub for that movie wow but I should have at least figured that.

STOP IT! HEREDITARY IS AN AVERAGE MOVIE! FUCKS SAKE!

Don't get me wrong, I love my makeup and dressing up, but gosh, it's just a Hassel sometimes. I wish I had that makeup shot gun from That one Simpsons episode so I can just shoot it on my face and be done with it lol 😆

I mean dam.

Yall really fucking suck. Obviously not everyone but most of you. What's wrong with you guys ?

I know life isn't great for everyone, but where are all the fun trolls and people who like to joke around?

Seriously you guys are a huge fucking bummer. Posting is also a thankless waste of time.

Because you guys want to jerk off to your own opinions about politics and talk about literally nothing else.

Not to mention none of you post anything. You complain about lack of x y and z but you don't offer or make any content.

It doesn't have to be amazing but you could at least try. Reddit is so much more fun and actually laid back in comparison.

It's like nothing but miserable leftists here that offer nothing to society other then posting political garbage on the internet.

That's so lame.

Do you tell people 'thank you' for dealing with you in real life?

Cause trust me, anyone who can tolerate the way you behave in person deserves a noble peace prize bc y'all are fucking insufferable.

Sorry it's just really annoying. Nothing but political bullshit and arguing. There's next to zero actual fun and socializing going on here.

Uhhh I guess I've seen a lot of people concerned about AI destroying jobs recently but I remember some years back... we were kind of rooting for AI to destroy some jobs?

The doctors, lawyers, and other such professions have had legally held monopolies on their professions, creating artificial barriers to competition... I was very much looking forward to their "professions" being leveled for having defended such destructive compulsory environments, from schools to workplaces.

Much to silence the critics that say, "would you really want your doctor to have a degree from 'youtube university'?" (answer: yes, in some cases, indeed) I can now look forward to AI replacing such doctors, with the normies not complaining about it.

Of course, the various "professionals" agreeing to voluntarily allow competition to their professions (to allow for schools to open in competition and to not require licenses to practice certain professions) would be an acceptable alternative. But since these "professionals" refuse to give up their (stolen?) privileges, I guess I (we?) were rooting for AI to destroy their (taken?) privileges in this way.

Anyone else still have this attitude? (I suppose some of the other disrupted "unregulated" or less regulated industries are more collateral damage in this "attack")

Fucking tired of goddam politics all the fucking time. Is that all people are interested in now ? I mean fuck.

I watch fox news everyday, so its annoying asf seeing politics online everywhere.

Like I've got my news on alright? I'm good not fucking interested in seeing that shit online all over the place

Fuckin Jesus christ

Every one needs to chill already

Clean Up Your Life

Consider your circumstances. Start small, Have you taken full advantage of the opportunities offered to you?

Are you working hard on your career, or even your job, or are you letting bitterness and resentment hold you back and drag you down?

Have you made peace with your brother? Are you treating your spouse and your children with dignity and respect

Do you have habits that are destroying your health and well-being? Are you truly shouldering your responsibilities?

Have you said what you need to say to your friends and family members? Are there things that you could do, that you know you could do, that would make things around you better?

Have you cleaned up your life? If the answer is no, here's something to try: Start to stop doing what you know to be wrong. Start stopping today.

Don't waste time questioning how you know that what you're doing iS wrong, if you are certain that it is.

Inopportune questioning can confuse, without enlightening, as well as deflecting you from action.

You can know that something is wrong or right without knowing why.

Your entire Being can tell you something that you can neither explain nor articulate Every person is too complex to know themselves completely, and we all contain wisdom that we cannot comprehend So, simply stop, when you apprehend, however dimly, that you should stop.

Stop acting in that particular, despicable manner.

Stop saying those things that make you weak and ashamed.

Say only those things that make you strong.

Do only those things that you could speak of with honour.

They did an update for both of those lemmy apps and they don't fucking let me login man.

It sucks ass. Idk why, but the jerboah app just seems more? Clear? I guess?

I'm bouncing back and forth from different lemmy apps, and it just seems like a lot of them have too much shit if that makes sense.

It's so annoying. I love the jerboah app. Man, I bet you they made it to where you can't use it if you're an isolated instance.

I know I'm being dramatic. But come on? What the fuck ? This is so annoying. I hate it
