No real directions, but this isn't a place for debate. It's a place for RANTIN' AND RAVIN'.

There is a rule: There is to be no calling out anyone by name in Rants, Chatter, or on the Meme itself. This only produces an atmosphere of animosity and it is no longer tolerated. If you see any names being ranted about, please link ( Read more... )

off topic by nature, rants

DAMN YOU MP4 FILES.

WHY CAN'T YOU BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE MEDIA PLAYER(S) I ALREADY HAVE?! SEA WALL IS COMPLETELY NECESSARY TO HAVE IN MY LIFE, BUT IT FUCKING TAKES FOR FUCKING EVER TO PLAY BECAUSE I HAVE TO BUFFER AND SHIT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I NEED MY ANDREW SCOTT FIX NOW.

anonymous March 17 2012, 02:18:38 UTC

Download VLC, it plays pretty much everything.

Funny that, I was just admiring Andrew Scott in a tux in The Hour.

anonymous March 17 2012, 02:24:29 UTC

I already have VLC, but it won't play it. It's actually the worst of them all; every time Andrew moves, the screen turns terribly pixelated and I can't see anything. Very distressing, because from the gifs I've seen he makes lovely hand porn. (Oh god, now I feel guilty for talking about hand porn in regards to this movie. D:)

Anyway, I've downloaded ANOTHER player, but it doesn't seem to be doing any better in the buffering department. *Sighs*

Weird! D:

What about Winamp with an mp4 plugin? Or Gom Player?

Also, try to close VLC and re-open the file, sometimes it goes a bit wonky with a file but works fine if you close it and open it again.

Help? anonymous March 17 2012, 02:23:11 UTC

I was born in a city and was raised there until middle school, but since then I've moved to suburbia and lost all of my "street smarts." :(
I have an interview at a coffee shop in a city nearby, and the place does not offer private lot. Seeing that I cannot parallel park for the sake of my life, I'd rather park at a pay parking lot nearby. My question is: how do I pay at the lot without making myself look like a total idiot? I don't have a credit card.

Re: Help? anonymous March 17 2012, 02:24:40 UTC

Pay cash like most people do?

Re: Help? anonymous March 17 2012, 02:27:17 UTC

Do you actually pay in cash? The last time I went to the city, almost all lots required people to pay in credit cards, as they didn't have attendants. Sorry I sound so stupid, gahhh.

Re: Help? anonymous March 17 2012, 02:34:03 UTC

Most of the lots where I am don't have attendants, but you can still put cash in the machines. I've never heard of a lot that required a credit card, though I suppose it might be different where you are.

Mean Drivers Suck anonymous March 17 2012, 02:24:31 UTC

HEY ASSHOLES. I KNOW YOU WANT TO GET HOME .00005 MILLISECONDS EARLY BUT STOP WITH THE AGGRESSIVE LANE CUTTING, TAILGATING & HONKING. ALSO PUT DOWN THE ^!^!^$#!)^ PHONE AND PAY ATTENTION.

Jeez. Makes me want to go all Anthea on your sorry asses.

Re: Mean Drivers Suck anonymous March 17 2012, 02:31:55 UTC

Where I live, people give you the fingers and call you all kinds of names on the interstate. All because you're not speeding 20 mph like they are.

Re: Mean Drivers Suck anonymous March 17 2012, 02:33:33 UTC

Assholes.

Re: Mean Drivers Suck anonymous March 17 2012, 02:45:23 UTC

Yes yes they are.
Although I do think that the drivers that OP encountered are equally sucky. I mean tailgating? That's some dangerous shit there.

It's 3.30am here. Good night, rant post and meme, see you sometime tomorrow!

OR MAYBE SEE YOU IN A FUCKING MINUTE IF THIS FUCKING INSOMNIA DOESN'T LET ME FUCKING SLEEP YET AGAIN. FUCK.
Not that you're not good company, rant post and meme, but I would like to keep my sanity and get some sleep. Did you know a person can die for lack of sleep before dying of hunger?

anonymous March 17 2012, 02:37:38 UTC

Did you know a person can die for lack of sleep before dying of hunger?

No, because that isn't even remotely true. Even people who have Fatal Familial Insomnia can survive for years past their initial diagnosis. Ordinary insomniacs aren't going to die from lack of sleep, unless they somehow manage to stay awake for the next ten years.

Sorry. I'm normally better at reading tone, but I sort of snapped at that, since I have seen similar claims made earnestly.

CARRY ON. NOTHING TO SEE HERE.

I might be just about to look like I've lived under a rock or something but... Who's that?

You aren't alone. I have no idea either!
