Why are people such self-centered assholes?
Apr 06
I’ve been around to many parts of this country, and I’ve observed a lot of people, and one of the biggest things in common that I have seen are that the majority of the people in this world are self-centered, arrogant, assholes. If all of us human beings on this planet would just be nice to each other, the amount of problems in the world would drop considerably. Imagine if things like war, poverty, political feuds and so much more just went away. Simply because we all started being nice people that looked out for others as much as or more than we do ourselves. But no, most people today think that they are the center of the universe, that they are better than everyone else, and everyone should treat them in a special manner. And we wonder why society is imploding, LoL. Here’s a nice example, and the video that made me write this post. If the driver had just been a decent human being and cooperated as he should have, this whole thing would have been over much quicker and without wasting so many people’s time:

So today, I was wanting to do some file transfer speed testing and therefore wanted to have a file of a specific size (the contents of the file were unimportant, just the size) to use as my test file for bench-marking transfers. I couldn’t remember the best way to create such a file on Windows (I’m a UNIX/Linux guy after all) so I did some searching and found a great article that not only gave clear instructions on how to do this very thing via command line, but also linked to two nice utilities that made it much easier and added cool options to boot. So, I thought I’d link it here for anyone else that might need it and happened to be stopping by …
Well now, it appears that in the latest WoW update (v8.1.5) the devs at Blizzard are once again making changes that are completely unnecessary and telling us that it’s what we want and is for our own good. Among many changes, including adding new content (which is good), the devs are removing many if not all of the portals that we the players have been using to get around. And yes, I know that they are putting a bunch of new ones back in, in the major cites (like Stormwind and Orgrimmar), but why dammit? Why take away the portals at the panda shrine for example, that you gave us to help us get around, just to move them someplace else? Now there really isn’t any reason to even go to the shrine unless you are questing there. But more to my point, if it ain’t broke, why do you keep trying (and failing) to fix it? Just like the time you removed 13 of my hunter abilities because of fucking “button bloat” … ruining my character. You have dumbed down the game to a point where it’s absolutely no fun to play. It’s boring as hell now since you took all the fun out of it. I played for years, putting up with the bullshit and then had enough and quit for a couple years. I much prefer
I’ve decided that I want to get caught up on my “MARVEL Universe” movies, so I grabbed some data from Wikipedia and put together a list of the MARVEL movies I need to see and in what order. I thought I’d post that list here for anyone else that might be interested in getting right with the story-line like I am!
