SPAM random annoying things

You're a person who in a real world setting I would probably dislike and avoid interacting with. But see, that's the beauty of the internet, you get a pseudo free society where even pouring shit out of a gaping hole in text form is tolerated, and you can co-exist with normal people. See how that works? Apply that in real life, maybe?

Women.

Wife just spent £400 on a pair of fucking glasses, whining that she needs some anti-glare pish for night driving. She drives 2 miles a fucking day, if we go anywhere I have to fucking drive.

Haha ive just had to shell out 370 quid for exactly the same reason! "And i get some sunglasses half price" great. I suppose ill be buying those for you as well will i ? So thatll be another £180 in the next month or two...

Get better eyes

 

[dysfunction]

If you wear glasses all the time then £400 while a lot of money is actually worth it.
Cheap frames and lenses don't do you any favours.

 

[Ormorof]

The anti glare is a huge improvement on not having it, previous glasses i had did not and the glare causes reflection on the inside glass meaning i often couldnt see in front of me if there was a light coming from behind or to the side

 

[Raven]

Meh, I have wank eyesight, so bad I cannot wear contacts (astigmatism and shit). I don't spend £400 a time...

Also, bollocks, glasses are essentially a bit of moulded plastic, in this case a bit of moulded plastic with some pretentious cunts name on.

Coincidentally we just had a meeting with our Medical insurance company (Aetna) and found out that they we can claim back up to 1200 USD per year on frame/lens and optician charges. My wife is blind as a bat and my son needs glasses for reading, had no idea we could claim for this. Result! \o/

They also detailed their new app and some programs to help people manage weight loss and things like hypertension. What I found quite disturbing on that is that the app ties in to the Fitness Apps, so effectively your insurance company can get your fitness data. Is that even legal in UK/EU/US or is it just a case of consent? I can see it would easily be open to abuse on their side.

I know I'm behind the curve here but Chrome becoming a shit browser fills me with random annoyance

 

[Raven]

Yup, used to think it was great (because it was) now its just a bloated piece of shit.

I have wondered about that. We're all fitbitted up here since xmas and food/exercise/heart rate logging.

To be fair - if the insurance companies are getting hold of our data they'll find healthy food, good heart rate and declining body weight alongside much better than average exercise regimes - but still...

It shouldn't be legal (I don't think it is) - but I'm 99% sure that it's probably happening anyway, given the clusterfuckery of every other bit of our non-existent "privacy".

People who eat meat/fish then moan about animal cruelty in relation to river/lake fishing. Going to try my hand at fishing this summer so bought a rod and equipment to get me started, nothing fancy. Millennial pipes up that it cruel to fish without having the first clue how his tuna makes it from the sea to his tin of fish. He claims he is thinking about becoming a vegetarian because he has decided cows shouldn't be bred for food. He actually believes that if we didn't eat them there would be herds of them roaming free, where, he couldn't explain.

I have no issue with vegetarians and in the past I have considered it but they should really think about things.

 

[Zarjazz]

Vegetarians are useful for society because when the inevitable zombie apocalypse comes it just means more food left for normal people.

 

[caLLous]

I wouldn't want to eat a vegetarian though, I bet they don't taste of anything.

You guys should give Opera a try - it's based on Chromium, but developed differently.

Currys. Order new telly on Saturday, confirmed by store to be delivered today as wouldn't fit in the car. Book day off to get delivery and set it up, get to end of delivery slot, no sign.

Call up Knowhow (lol!) who say the store have managed to book a delivery with no date, now the earliest we can get it is Sunday.

Tossers.

 

[Raven]

Moan at them about having taken a day off, insist on compensation.

They only way useless companies learn is by being hit in the pocket.

She Who Must Be Obeyed has decided we need a new TV Stand, so we're going down to the store later on tonight to see what we can get.

Hitachi drive which had all my portable media on it died Pain in the butt having to download/transfer everything again. One I take on trips with me and to UK when I go home.

I do, they're (mostly) libtard cunts.

Really? Most vegetarians I've known have been lovely and unassuming and never rammed it down my throat.

Vegetarians tend only to get "high and mighty" when some cunt starts asking them to "justify" or "explain" why they're vegetarian, rather than just accepting that they are and not thinking anything of it.

It's only because vegetarianism is unusual in the UK that this is even a thing. In India about a third of people are vegetarian, for example...

Indeed, all my Indian pals are vegetarians who are a) extremely picky with what they eat and b) there has to be a reasonable amount of attempt on my / our part to accommodate their vegetarianism.

One year at Christmas they got torn into a plate of nachos (with beef) and couldn't believe how delicious it was (for a non Indian dish). Their faces when I told them they'd eaten cow; a true look of disgust. Weirdos.

 

[Scouse]

Damn those tricky reasonable amounts of attempts eh m8?

Thing is mate, you sneak in a bag of awesome (bacon, beef, etc.) and they're like "THIS IS LIKE CRACK" then they get affronted when you tell them "HAH, CUNT, IT'S MEAT" - maaaaaaaybe if they let some super crackled BBQ ribs into their life they'd be less a uptight bunch. Maybe not.
