Random Rants

[Catharsis]

I hate the phrase 'for a joke'. It's often used to attempt to justify an action that has brought you comeuppance.

"...and then, for a joke, I called his mother a prostitute. And he punched me on the nose! Some people. "

In fact, see post #977 of this very thread!

I HATE passwords with a passion. They're the most useless thing in the entire world.
I need a password for my three email accounts. I need a password for my cell phone. I need a password for my Windows session at work. I need a password for my healthcare provider. I need a password for my online banking. I need a password for my online cellphone provider. I need a password for logging to my landlord site. I need a password for Civfanatics. I need a password for my MMORPG. I need a password for my ebay account. I need a password for my Paypal account. I need a password for my Amazon account. I need a password for my Hotwire account. I need a password for my Expedia account. I need a password for my Open Table account. I need a password to open a request to my IT services at work. and I'm sure I forgot a lot of them.

The consequence is that of course I have one simple password for 95% of my applications, completely defeating the purpose of a password.

And of course sometimes it's just silly. I mean, a 8-character-long, with numbers, letters and special characters, password for my IT helpdesk? WTH?!?! Are they afraid someone's gonna use my login to enter a fake request for fixing the projector in the conference room or what?
And a password for my voicemail at work? OH NO! Someone might listen to my WORK MESSAGES! TEH HORROR!

And the best part of all is when you have to update passwords every so often, and YOU CAN NOT USE A PREVIOUS PASSWORD. Like for the most critical thing of all, my VOICEMAIL. So now of course I have a post-it on my phone with the password since I can't be arsed to remember it, given that I use my voicemail every other month at most.

I will praise the day where passwords will be replaced by fingerprints or DNA analysis. I don't care if some uberevil government uses the information to I don't know what exactly, if it can get rid of my 50+passwords, kudos.

Why is it most everyone in my family is having a nervous breakdown today? Seriously, I love them to death, but is there something in the water? It's irritating, to say the least.

My headache might have something to do with that though...

I hate it when my mom cleans my room. I can never find anything once she's done. And the worst part is I leave things lying around, in particular illicit things....gah....I noticed today that my box of cigarettes was missing. Not good...

Just got a couple of really cute kittens, but it seems that my brother is allergic to them after all. We shall probably have to give them to somebody else.

Is that rant or is it just random?

Its a rant, and my little cousin is watching what they claim to be "the best action movie ever". Shudder...

 

[Swedishguy]

Why are all the polish hyperboling about Poland not being in Civilization? Seriously, stop.

 

[salty mud]

Why do Swedes come up with terrible jokes, and complain about Poles complaining?

 

[Swedishguy]

Why do people accuse me for being a swede all the time?

 

[jeps]

i hate foreigners with bad english lecturing me about mine.

I also hate foreigners tell me that I'm not practicing my culture right.

I do enjoy their cultures though.

Why are all the polish hyperboling about Poland not being in Civilization? Seriously, stop.

1. Check Polish History. I'm sure you'll change your mind.
2. No, Poles are saying why HRE is in when Poland, Austria, Isreal, Hittites, Polynesians, Brazil, Gran Colombia aren't in. But most have giving up by now and are only posting after people who bash poland like you. And if you stop, they'll stop.


On topic, Today i feel like punching an ignorant fool in the face. (My damned Brother broke my tv! )

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

The game has way more European civs than anything else anyways. Did Ethiopia make the cut? I would put them ahead of Poland, and is there anyone from Southeast Asia?

 

[TheLastOne36]

Yes Khmer and Ethiopia are in. But talk about overcrowding Eastern Europe even more with the Holy Roman Empire. Poland is in a hole in eastern europe which should be filled. That is why Poland is good in the game. (please no more Polish discussion after this).

Back to my brother breaking my TV, I just put Itching Powder in his Underwear and Socks!



No joke.

 

[silver 2039]

Wait....they put the Holy Roman Empire in BTS?? WTH!!

Thats it....there's no way I'm buying it now....

 

[Ultima Dragoon]

I hate it when people make an assumption on something completely based on someone else's opinion.

 

[TheLastOne36]

Wait....they put the Holy Roman Empire in BTS?? WTH!!

Thats it....there's no way I'm buying it now....

Take a look at the craziness that's destroying the BTS Forum 10 days ago. Everything because HRE got in, and Poland did not.

Things seem to have settled down now...

My connection has decided to make a sit-down strike. It says that it is working very well and the connection is very fast, but about every 10 minutes it decides to stop working. And computer says that connection is still working swell. Must be conspiracy.
