The Letting Off Steam Thread

Other video games, TV shows, movies, general chit-chat...this is an all-purpose off-topic board where you can talk about anything that doesn't have its own dedicated section.

Stupid fucking iTunes has to be worst software in the history of horrible softwares.

I've never seen a popular program as sneaky and unflexible as this one. This piece of shit is forcing me to re-import yet again all the songs I had on my Nano. I have it on my laptop which is always connected online, and I figured I'd use one of these free softwares like Yamipod, Sharepod and others (which are MUCH easier to use) on my desktop, which has a much faster DVD drive when I want to add songs in it. Only the latest versions of iTunes seem to detect this right away and pretty much lock your device as a consequence. Even after backing up the entire "music" folder that's located in "iPod controls", restoring the iPod and putting all the songs and artwork back, it doesn't detect any of the tracks anymore. You can't even add manually the mp3s you have on your PC to the iTunes Library (the one in "my Documents"), because it knows that the songs have not been ripped through iTunes, and the program won't detect any of these mp3s.

I'm sure there's ways around this, but either way, considering that it also installs a bunch of useless side-programs that are most likely spywares, and it takes up a ridiculous amount of memory when running, it has to be the most impractical piece of crap I've ever used.

Care to elaborate Drex?


As for my steam, if I hear another statement of how ants are good role models of being industrious, I'm going to blow my head off or rant to them like an insane ranting bum madman you occasionally find on the sidewalk.

Well...I had an awful day!
1st of all, like 3 months ago I though how awsome it would be to have a driving licence and to own my own car...I still say it was a big mistake to give me a driving licence. Anyways.....I hate to drive, but I still drive because of the comfort a car can give you. So today I had my last english exam, and comparing it to the last years, this one was fucking hard. Even the EILTS test was much easer, and i went to that with a nasty hang-over. But the day got even worse, I got 7 in maths final exam, only 2 points from 8 (the best score is 10), that shit was so easy, I should have got a 9. Anywys it got even more worse, after the exam, I was driving after my new passport, the traffic light is red, so I just stand there, then sudden somebody crashed into my cars left side.....I still can't understand how stupid can you be, if you are parked with the front, and go backwards, when a car is just right behind you. And that rich bastard guys car didn't have even a single scratch!.....while mine car on the other hand has a nasty flexure...FUCK THIS!

I had a better idea, since we both had the same car insurance, I took his registration, and when I will need to go to a serviss, so they can say how much is the damage, I will ask one guy I know, who is working there, to ask so much money that he fixes the new flexure and also the scrathces I made on the other side!....

I'd say stick with your mom, she needs you now more than ever. The girls can wait.

You know what, I'm about to post another girl-rant but I think it'll just cycle up again. Heh.

Hmmm...I already posted a reply to this here a couple of days ago but it somehow disappeared. Did some mod delete my post or something? Or it might have been my busted internet connection once again.

Anyways, thanks for the kind words, guys. And Lean, of course I'm gonna stick with my mom. It feels bad no longer being with my girl but I can't even imagine how terrible it'd be if my mom actually had cancer. Plus it's forever and always gonna be MOB for me. Mommy Over Bitches that is :lol:

Well, I applied to the American School of Milan last month. I even managed to get recommendations from both my current English teacher and my current school's principal.

Looks I won't be going anywhere, though, since ASM apparently gives scholarships just to the seniors that have previously attended the school (I'm a junior and I have not attended the school before) and I just cannot afford €20,000+/year.

Oh, well. Fuck them. Guess I'll apply to the exchange student program.

Dude, I know how this feels!...i attempted to apply for Worcester in UK, well for the basketball schoolarship, I got accepted by the school, but they denied my application for the basketball schoolarship! Now I'm struggling to get an academic schoolarship in 2 other UK universities!

Today I released something!....I REALLY FUCKING HATE MY DRIVING LICENCE AND MY CAR!.....my life was so much more awsome before all this, okey, i can go to the beach anytime I want, to school instead of 40min, I can get in 15min. But damn, the most important thing, i can't drink a beer, while I'm at the wheels! I hate to be the driver all the time...atleast one friend is kind enough to be the driver, while I have my beer (but he just loves to drive)....It's so freaking awsome hot outside, all I want to do is lay around the beach and have my Weissbeer!...

For reals! Tough luck JT_57. Go and look for another!

And am I missing some kind of joke round here? Is there any reason why JT_57 and JT_55 have similar names?

Thanks for the pic, Q. You know, seeing my name on that ladder reminds me that I've also been friend-zoned recently. Two days ago, to be exact. But whatever, fuck the bitch.

This question has been bugging me for quite some time, though: Do girls actually tell other girls who they've friend-zoned so that they can friend-zone the poor dude too? I've been wondering about this for a few months now, since it's happened to me (and to other people I know) that a girl's (that had previously friend-zoned me) friend also friend-zoned me.

Anyway, don't take it seriously, Shadow. She's not worth it. Not one of them is worth it.
