Pointless But It Does My Head In
shit i know people MY age who is like that. they're not anti anything per se, but work in fields which have nothing to do with media or tech, and couldn't be arsed to remember teh most basic shit that i've repeatedly told them, shit that would save them quite a bit of time and frustration.
asking me time and again where the downloads go. WHERE EVER YOU TELL IT TO YOU FUCKING IMBECILE. and when i find it for them there are invariably 27 copies of whatever.pdf
copying info from a website on paper and handing it to me. um... do u remember what i told you last week? select the text, COMMAND C, and then COMMAND D into an email to me. that way i won't have to type it again either! it's laziness which makes them end up doing more work is what it is
"can you burn a cd for me?" it is 2010. and there are people who don't know how to use TOAST.

But it's hardly a case of 'mastering' it, it's just learning the bare basics. And it may be boring, but that doesn't mean it's not useful. You'd think someone was pretty special if they drove every day but had to ask someone to show them how to use the pedals each time they got in the car, wouldn't you...
person in question has the latest mac powerbook pro. all he uses it for is check email and a bit of surfing.
luka it's not like we're talking about kerning type or warping wavs in ableton (which... i do sometimes but that's not the point).
we're talking about mastering the art of selecting multiple items in finder by holding down the apple key.

Officious cunts fine driver £440 for warning other motorist of speed camera.
Fucksake. The nominal purpose of speed cameras is to make motorists slow down, right? And if you slow down because you know there's a speed camera there, then it's done its job, hasn't it? Unless their real purpose is simply to raise revenue, but that's unthinkable, surely...

yeah that's what i always figured until the other night when the coppers stopped a car in my mostly posh (except for the likes of renters like me) canadian neighbourhood and found an "IED" inside. the police spokesman said that "it's what might often be called, colloquially, 'a bomb'." colloquially. then again, the car had quebec plates so maybe the "crude, shifty, untrustworthy" thing still applies.
interesting sidebar: a bank just about 3-4 blocks away was fire bombed (fire-IED'd?) less than a year ago in some crude, Olympic-related act of rebellion, but they don't think they're related. otherwise it's a very dull neighbourhood where the greatest danger is being run off the sidewalk by nannies and jogging-mummies pushing baby-SUVs.

There's a specific personal moan about the expensiveness of cambridge and the fact that fer chrissakes, I've spent my years studying hard and all that and sold my soul to The Man and got the good job, can I have my reasonably nice flat in a sensible location please rather than having to traipse around tiny grimy places in the arse end of nowhere because I made the mistake of not having been born 20 years earlier, but in general, the whole process is such an absolutely intense pain in the arse that I'm now yearning for a communist government who'll just inform me that I've been allocated to residential unit 254241b and that will be that.
