Why would you do this to me Microsoft?

Posted in Uncategorized on February 3, 2010 by schellinkhout

So it was about three years ago that I bought my xbox, December 25th 2006 to be exact. After saving up my money, trading in my old xbox and getting my giftcard for cristmas, I finally got it! I have been playing xbox almost everyday since then. 

I love playing 360 games, shooting twelve year olds in the face online makes me feel warm and fuzzy  inside, but there have been moments which I will admit I was quite unsatisfied. The most prominent memory would have to be from this last cristmas, where after turning on my xbox 360 I was treated to the sight of my 360 freezing on the opening cinimatic. So my holiday is screwed, but hell, whats two weeks to have it repaired? I’ll still be able to play right? WRONG.

as it turns out, after multiple attempts to “see if it was just an error” my console decided to throw up the E 71 error, aka the one that is only covered by the two year warenty I bought with my console. Now this may seem pretty simple, a “sucks to be you situation, but you know why exactly Im bitching? This is my fourth 360, over the last three years I have had to send whichever system I had at the time for repair, and each time I got a refurbished console. So is fair that the console they sent me is under my first consoles warranty? I have had this console for less than two years, but Microsoft cant replace it because the warranty  is out for my first console, which I haven’t seen for two or more years? anyone else find this to be a bit unfair?  I dont have the cash to pay for the repairs, I live in a certain “Corperation” concerning “Jobs” and make next to nothing, and all of that goes into what little savings I have.

    Honestly though? it doesn’t really matter. Im still going to play xbox, hell I have been every chance Ive gotten.  If my original harddrive dying didn’t stop me this sure as hell wont, but I still wish I hadn’t gotten shafted like this.

The internet is hitting on me.

So, Drugs. Everyone has their own view, and It seems Concerning Cannabis, that they can usually be swept into one of two categories. First are the advocates of substance usage, arguing anything from It’s natural, just like fruit and tobacco, to the belief that it will stimulate the economy. While Those opposed to the legalization of cannabis, based on the thought that it will ruin lives, and that it is a hallucinogen, and would have to be maintained at a level greater than alcohol.  Both sides have  good points, but at the end of the day, do you know what matters?

No, you don’t. I haven’t told you yet. What matters Is what you think. You don’t have to keep reading, hopefully you can form your own opinion, if you haven’t yet, or your some yuppie who can’t think for him/herself, please continue to read. My personal thoughts on drugs are pretty much this.

  • Cannabis: Tried it before, does nothing for me, whether it was my genetically  high tolerance, the fact that I  already have a stress relief, the knowledge  that I cant afford video games and weed, or the fact that I expected nothing from smoking, and got it in return.
  • Anything with needles: Meth, heroin, god knows what else. I can’t stand needles, and stabbing one into me to get high isn’t my idea of fun. Never tried, never will.
  • Pills: I take ibuprofen when i get a headache, that’s about it for pills. Been offered before, but it could of been anything from an allergy tablet to a roofie, fuck that, I don’t care how awesome it is, you’re stupid.
  • Other ways to indulge: I don’t care if I could snort it, drink it, swallow it, shove it in my ear or lick it off a muffler, I’m not trying it, I have enough fucked up happenings without adding hallucinogenic substances into the mix. Someone would wind up dead.

Now I know that I’m going to get a dozen comments ranging from “yur A PU55Y!!1!” to actual intellectual talk, to arguments, have at. It’s an opinion, and we’re all entitled to one, I do not, and will not do drugs or drink, not because It is the right thing to do, but because its expensive and I’m awkward enough to be borderline “that guy”, I don’t need to pass it.

Also fuck you “straight-edge” pricks, I ain’t part of it, but people assume that since I don’t drink or smoke, It’s because of this group. I’m avoiding that stuff out of indifference, I have lived without it till now, I can keep going. But, you pricks who do this, stop going to parties and parading around that fact then acting like everyone’s beneath you. You look like an asshole and your setting a bad example. If someone asks you if you would like a beer, the response you’re looking for is “No thanks” Or “I’m the DD” lie if you need to explain, if you say “No way, I don’t pollute my with that shit” this will automatically make you look like an asshole to anyone within earshot. Sure, there are straight edges who are nice about it, but the 30% who do it so they fit in act like this, and soil the name. Plus they chose it for some stupid reason, mines better.

As for alcohol, I could care less. For the most part, all alcohols tastes so bad they’re mixed with something else to dull the horrid taste of it, the rest I don’t care enough to think about. And yes, I realise there are plenty of people who love that stuff, fine, you’re a connoisseur. Who cares? You’re not going to win me over, you like it, then drink it. I doubt this shitty little post will do much harm to the industry.  But continuing on, I don’t like the taste, and the best explanation I’ve gotten is “you drink till it doesn’t taste like piss”. I prefer not to sink anyone of my little cash on frivolous  things like “beer”, and “food”, I need power and a tv with an a/v or hdmi input, that’s it.Wait, and running water.

I would like to thank Tracy, from her now inactive blog  Tenant tales, more specifically this post which is what brought up this topic. Read the comments, does anyone else think that those people are assholes?

“Why am I not surprised to see a landlord collaborating with the security apparatus? The decent, moral, and honest response would of course for you to tell your tenants — WHO ARE PAYING YOU MONEY FOR THE QUIET ENJOYMENT OF THEIR UNIT — that the cops are watching them. But no, you’ll cheerfully extort your monthly vigorish, extracting your share from their drug money, and then sell them out to the pigs.

Typical.

If I lived in your buildings, I’d have a tenants association organized on your ass faster than you can blink.”

I like the part where he states a decent, moral, and honest response is to tell the boys the cops are watching them, I believe a decent, moral, and honest thing is to not sell drugs out of your home. They were not paying for the quite enjoyment of their unit, they were paying rent so they could live some place other then the street. And im pretty sure the whole extorting money then “selling” them out requires her to: A.Have been aware to the fact they had been selling any drugs in the first place. B. Blackmailing them with evidence or threats to call the police so as to get money from them. And C. called the cops on them in the first place. how do you know they paid rent with drug money? they could work multiple jobs and have a trust fund for all you know. Whether you agree or disagree, I don’t care. they got busted later, which you can read about here I personally think the first comment is priceless. But as they say, ignorance is bliss.
