SoundCloud podcasters not making their files available to download, thus making me use an extension to download everything in 128kbps, even if that's wrong. :x
Most of these don't have a Libsyn page, mind you.

There's a huge assignment due on my birthday, which is in ten days. After which he'll assign an even harder project due a few weeks from then.

The first day of the national exams once coincided with my birthday; I didn't even have the energy or time left to celebrate anything.

That's never fun.

Up way too late as usual, one of my worst habits. Bill Burr nailed it - anyone can bug you for anything at 2 in the afternoon. WHO THE FUCK IS THAT PESTERING ME AT 2 IN THE GODDAMN MORNING?! Nobody, that's who! ^w^ Er, nobody you can't justifiably tell to piss off, at least. Unless you're a wanted man on the lam from plod or something, but then you're hardly likely to be relaxing much, I'd think. Ahh. But I somehow found myself reading a metal blog, compulsively clicking articles when *record screeches to halt*
In terms of musicianship and compositional skill, Peace Sells…But Who’s Buying? represented a monumental leap forward from the previous years Killing Is My Business… album. This time around, Dave Mustaine had assembled a posse of musicians who could match his knack for melody and dead-shot metal marksmanship and the results were uniformly stunning.
ITS THE SAME LINEUP AS KIMB YOU DIPSHIT :O MUSTAINE/ELLEFSON/POLAND/SAMUELSON (PBUH)
WHAT A COCK SUCKIN MOTHER FUCKIN NOOB :O
AND I WAS ACTUALLY READING THIS DOGGEREL

99.9% of everything on the internet really is trash isn't it? Never mind shump lunatics, not even casual music appreciators can feel safe. I oughta go to bed. 3;

Wait -
I love Heavy Metal. Always have. Always will. As editor of Worship Metal - a site dedicated to being as positive about Metal and its myriad of sub-genres as possible - my aim is to 'worship' Metal through honest reviews, current news and a wide variety of features; offering the same exposure to underground bands as we do to mainstream/well known acts. Our mantra; the bands are partners and we exist to serve the bands \m/
Now I feel bad ;-; Almost as bad as the time a younger, more impetuous me took an innocent Raiden Fighters Aces reviewer to task in an autismal infamy I still cringe at! But baldfaced misinformation serves nobody, metal blog person! Especially not a Mr. Chris Poland who could probably use all the good press he can get FFS. This exceptionally talented man might be in a soup kitchen right now because of your shit! :[

two things work related:

1. the girl who sits on the other side of the cube who constantly sniffs up snot and swallows it. I thought it was only going to happen for a short while, but it's been happening every day (a couple times an hour) for the last few months. even if I tried, I couldn't do it that frequently. I usually have to throw on my headphones to concentrate.

2. I don't eat many sweets so I don't know why this one bothers me so much, but whenever someone in my department brings in donuts, someone from my team usually cuts one in half and eats the other half. I get that it would otherwise be thrown out and they're trying to "offer" the other half to someone, but that other half almost always sits there for the entire day and then gets throw out by the cleaning lady. you're already eating the donut and you're not doing yourself a huge favor by only eating half. just eat the whole thing.
what I imagine this person saying in their head:
Spoiler
"I'm trying to be healthy and I really shouldn't eat this, but I'm going to treat myself to a little taste"

I would definitely help out a lonely half-doughnut left at work, along with the whole one I'd also take.

Also no-one wants to be the person who takes the last one? Don't mind if I doooo! Basically I have no self-control when someone brings in free cake-related goodness.... there are four cakes and two tubs of mini-muffins? Best have one of each!

I need you here to eat that donut and alleviate my frustration. seriously don't know why it bugs me since I don't want one anyway, but it bugs me.

if someone brings in beer or beef jerky on the other hand, I'm all over it.

I saved up over $400, and was pretty happy; I had enough money to either buy something expensive like a PC-Engine, or multiple cheap things like games without having to worry too much.

Today in English class, as I was walking to the board, I accidentally knocked a girl's iPhone off her desk (she left it on the edge) and cracked the screen.

Now I'm gonna have to pay. :( :( :(

Windows 10 changing the screen resolution/refresh rate settings from Control Panel to Settings for no fucking reason. Why???

Shadow Warrior 2 not saving Nvidia multi-res shading, forcing me to manually reactivate it every time I play.

That setting is a godsend, by the way. Makes night and day differences in framerates with all the particle effects this game throws around.

An oligarch walks in and grabs nine cookies for himself.

Then he says to the white dude "Watch out for that black dude, he wants a piece of your cookie!"

I also have to praise the inclusion of resolution scaling in SW2 (and more recently nuDOOM too) for allowing me to play them at a reasonable framerate in the first place

Speaking of Nvidia, it's annoying how the Nvidia control panel settings have all these similarly named power management options with no description of what they actually do.

Inconsistent drivers!

Okay I'll overtake you because you're doing 60 in the centre lane with nothing in front of you.... I'm alongside you, why are you now speeding up? Okay I'll drop in behind you because you're doing about 80 annnnnnnnd FFS I've caught you within 30 seconds because you're doing 60 again.

Fuck. Off.

I used to be annoyed by that too for a long while. At some point I stopped giving a fuck. If your website isn't business related and it's an english site you probably don't have much to fear.

I'm just assuming france has similar bukllshit nonsense laws like germany. :lol:
