Venting

[MessyAshy]

I think we could do with a thread to vent some of the little annoyances in life.

Like goddamn fucking technology... "this app is not responding" what does that even mean? It's not fucking sentient, it didn't just decide to roll over this morning and sleep in... It gets a command, it does the fucking command, it's the only thing it can do. What is actually going on where sometimes i push a button and it does a thing, and then sometimes it doesn't do a thing? Did electricity momentarily stop following the laws of physics? Did the code suddenly switch from binary to hieroglyphs? Imagine you're having dinner and every 5 minutes your knife just stops cutting stuff for a few seconds and a little loading icon appears on the handle. Why can't technology just do the only fucking thing it is designed to do?

Speaking about technology... the answer is NO! No I don't want to read about your new feature that you just released in your software as a service that nobody asked for. No I don't want to sign up to your newsletter (but I know you'll sign me up anyways.) No I don't want to opt-in on all your privacy infringing settings to help 'improve' your software. No I don't want to share my location. No I don't want to try your new game. No I don't want cookies but I must accept them or else your website doesn't work so what is even the point of asking? And NO I definitely don't want to ask your chatbot because if it would know the answer to my question I would have figured it out on my own already.

Whenever I see a popup on any website or any software I just click NO or the X without even reading what it said! Seriously!

Technology sucks every time I go to my favorite sites I always get these awesome ads for hot singles in my area but when I click on it they ask me for my damn credit card and social security number! I just want to meet the hot singles but the ad can't even take me to the right place! It's bull shit!
