    I do too, granted there are some things AI is okay to decent at, but Ads ain't one of them. It is like all they want to sell me is Placebos for things like Male Pattern Baldness and disguise it as Breath mints. Seriously Where is the FDA when you need them the most.

    That is what I always disliked about living in the Upper Midwest. It was always extremely freezing in winter. I especially disliked it Sophomore year of High School when I had to wake up nearly at the crack of dawn and trudge through the snow, guck and sub-zero temperatures away from the warmth...

    Amen Brother, I remember when I first got Spotify for my MacBook I was like "Oh great there's ads and they are unskippable or unhideable this is an absolute outrage." I had a phase at one time where I was like, "Screw Spotify I am going to cheat and use YouTube with an adblocker I had downloaded...

    This happened last night when I was still on vacation in Toronto. I was sleeping in my hotel room at around 2:05 A.M. All the sudden I hear this loud sound coming from the hallway, little did I know that the fire alarm got tripped for some mysterious reason. To make matters worse it continued...

    I was at the Gym today doing my usual cardio followed by swimming, hot tub, steam room, sauna and shower routine. Only to find that some idiot stole my shower gel when I was in the pool. Seriously who the hell does that?

    I had to make an urgent trip to Kansas.

Worth because of...

    I was sitting out on the deck on my deckchair listening to some music when out of nowhere a caterpillar decided to slink across my armpit, If it weren't for me wearing a T-Shirt I probably wouldn't of noticed it. I couldn't blow it off instead I resorted to using my phone to brush it off my...

    I got back from my vacation in Arizona last night, I flew into Charlotte/Douglas International Airport, What I didn't realize is that even at 10:40 P.M. on a Sunday is insanely congested and it took me nearly 25 minutes to find and take a shuttle bus to the parking lot where my car was parked.

    My mouse for my MacBook Pro gave out, At first I thought I could rectify the issue by adjusting the sensitivity in System Preferences as said in most Mac troubleshooting forums, but no it did not respond to that so I came to the conclusion that it crapped out on me. So I had to make an...

    A robocall spammer woke me up from my sleep this morning, I unlocked my phone only to find out that I was text message spammed three times by another spammer when I was asleep and to add insult to injury the same robocall spammer I mentioned earlier left me a voicemail. Seriously folks what ever...

    Sketchup is phasing out their free 2017 Version in favor of a web-only version. this is so irritating because I have some unfinished projects and I need the capability to download components to finish my projects. Worst of all the version that fits my criteria is going to cost me nearly $230...

    I am being robocall spammed like there is no tomorrow, even worse they are using caller ID in order to deceive me, I thought the FTC and FCC were cracking down on robocalls, apparently not and I am doomed while they do very little to help rectify what I consider a violation of my constitutional...

    I tore a little bit of the insulation off my MacBook battery charging cable, Thank god I had some electrical tape on hand, but what I find annoying is Apple charging me more than $25 for replacement cable that is quite flimsy, at least my current MacBook does not use the magnetic connector like...

    I was at the Y the other day, getting back into lap swimming, which I have not done since the pandemic started. What annoyed me was I had reserved a lap lane only to find to my irritation that the Y's swim team was practicing in five out of the six lap lanes in the pool. So not only was the pool...

    I was bingewatching Beavis and Butt-Head on Paramount Plus, I have the premium subscription, and all the sudden in between episodes I got a streak of 4-5 unskippable Ads. What annoys me besides the obvious is that I thought that the premium subscription entitles me to Ad-free streaming...

    I think Youtube's algorithms are miscalibrated on purpose, seriously I watched a video or two from a channel I am not subscribed to and all of the sudden that is enough to engage video suggestions that are not even remotely relevant to what I was watching or listening to. This really does not...

    Preaching to the choir, Disney Plus does not highlight the exact source of the problem that prevents the creation of a new subscription. I only solved this by going through PayPal.

    Scam Texts are the freaking worst, I especially hate it when they masquerade as something Official like a Parcel delivery notice, however they always seem to leave their "fingerprints" at the scene of the crime; the web links they provide are always to a fraudulent website.

    I agree conspiracy nuts are some of the most irritating people in the world, if anything it proves that they should of stayed in school rather than binging on infowars and 4chan as they cover all parts of their body in tin foil. Seriously people pick up a damn history textbook for once rather...
