Maybe you shouldn't talk about it if you can't even correctly identify it?

 

 

Oooooooh.

[PhillBellic]

This Morning, the Internet Connection to my House wasn't working. This was an ISP-Side problem. Just as I was leaving for Work, the problem subsequently was Resolved.

 

This makes me Grumpy, as browsing this fine Forum is a part of my Morning Routine.

it all sounds like the same crap to me.

 

Maybe you shouldn't talk about it if you can't even correctly identify it?

 

 

Isn't that a valid complaint, though? It all sounds so similar that I can't hear the difference..?

Keeping up with all my youtube subscriptions is a pain in the ass.

My threshold for subbing is pretty low lol. A lot of channels I've subbed to only upload something interesting like 10% of the time. But yeah I kinda should unsub a few channels.

It's valid if you can name the genre correctly first-- that shows that you at least had the integrity to look up more information and confirm your bias on whether or not it was all the 'same crap.' Otherwise you come off as a dated cynic with no ability to understand what you're trying to talk about.

I don't think lack of knowledge invalidates the criticism.

[Tyler]

The criticism may be valid, but validity is not the only factor to determine whether or not someone should actually speak on a topic. You may feel as though it is fine for people to talk about things of which they cannot even identify, and that is fine. It doesn't make their opinion one worth listening to for most people. It certainly doesn't exclude them from ribbing or casual dismissal, either.

[*MURDOC*]

Oh god damn it, just let it go, why do you even care if it's "not worth listening to" then?

 

F*cking Christ, that's irritating.

I love reading this forum stoned. It makes me the opposite of grumpy

[Gnocchi Flip Flops]

That's like claiming someone can't say that all BMWs look the same if he doesn't know a thing about them. Does it matter what he knows? All he knows, all that matters, is that they all look the same to him. That's his opinion. He can back up why he feels the way but he's not obligated to know jack sh*t.

 

Don't be an ass.

Pissed off before my day has even started.

Nice going Kate, you f*cking pleb.

[TheMcSame]

Some asshole almost ploughed into me earlier AND had the nerve to flip me off... Taxi drivers in a nutshell that is. The road might not have the best layout, but that doesn't excuse sh*tty driving.

[TheMcSame]

^Can't say I know, though given that most taxis I see are being driven by Asians it wouldn't surprise me if he was.

[Star-Lord]

There are Christmas products in the shops in town already. And it's still summer weather ffs!

Yeah. Seen some folks stocking up on Christmas lights, for next year!?

I'll become on octopus if I have to, most bags that you get from shops aren't worth a penny, never mind 5 of them.

Tractor drivers. The 10 foot high tyres are a give-away that it is you who goes up on the steep bank on narrow lanes. not the other way round. After being told to go f*** myself when pointing this out to the 3 eared farm hand, I agreed with his conclusion. Took my keys out of the ignition of my car. got out, sat on my bonnet, rolled a fag and grinned pointing out that i was on a day off and could sit here all day. It took him 26 seconds to realise that it was him I was actually going to f*** with rather than myself. How I laughed. As you can imagine he did not share my humour.

 

Oh. and got my own back on the Supermarkets. Nicked a box of carrier bags from them today. 2000 of those bad boys. Stick your 5p charge up your arse Tesco's

People still think that "McDonald's employee wins all this money in online jackpot and quits his job" and that annoys me. There's literally dozens of instances of that story posted on facebook and such by radio stations and other things, all copy pasted word for word and the only thing changed is the city the Mcdonald's is in.

 

You're a fraud and you know it.

I just love it when games crash all of a sudden and make an annoying loud buzzing sound. Happened to me while playing Max Payne.

^^^You weren't around when ZX Spectrum ruled, right?!

 

Edit - Ohh, the memories of it, sadly couldn't quickly find some nice fail sound on yt, but do trust we failed a lot before we succeeded...

This seems a bit appropriate though:

You just reminded me - when games crashed on GameBoy handhelds, you'd hear a terrible noise (depending on the model, maybe?). Only happened If you hit it near the cartridge slot the wrong way, or if you removed it.

 

Kinda nostalgic, personally

^^^You weren't around when ZX Spectrum ruled, right?!

 

Oh wow, I had a Sinclair ZX81. With a little breadboard magic, you could "network" it with say, a Commodore 64 with a little shared RAM in between and transfer BASIC instructions... but of course the dialects were very different; it became an exercise in POKEing and PEEKing data through the RAM in between to do anything meaningful.

Rage inducing tech.

You've come a long way, baby.
