artaxthehappyhorse,

Ok here’s my personal gripes/nitpicks

Music:

  • overlay band name on band tile. I know the name is up top, but I don’t recognize a lot of those tile pics and have to go one by one trying to find the right one.
  • when I click a band tile, the “Albums” icon is too small. Ideally have album tiles horizontal along the bottom, but at least make the icon bigger and put next to Instant Mix, also a “all songs” next to “albums”.
  • Instant Mix is confusing, it seems to be shuffle just name it shuffle, and if you hit shuffle from a band details I’d expect it to shuffle just that band, vs “Shuffle All” from main screen, or Shuffle album from album details, etc.
  • when playing and play/pause is focused, if I could push “up” to focus the progress bar, and then left/right to fast fwd/rewind, or “ok” btn to enter a time to skip to (think, where I left off in this 20 hour long audiobook)

Movies section had some nitpicks too. Like wishing there was a quick bar when you focus a movie, or at least putting “un/mark watched” in the asterisk menu instead of having to drill into it. The rest is probably just me needing to get used to the playback button design, like pushing up I’d expect to see progress bar and some quick functions but instead I see file info which doesn’t seem like a common thing I’d care to look at. Similarly, being able to click the progress bar and skip to a time would be wonderful vs hitting “right” a hundred times on my crappy Roku remote 🙂

Hope you found my complaining useful!

artaxthehappyhorse,

I believe the thank you was regarding the mod-friendly mindset of early valve. A section in the game menu for loading new mods and it shipped with a mod (TFC, which was based off a community mod for Quake)

artaxthehappyhorse,

Now to get all our lazy family and friends to stop supporting ad terrorists and support something worthwhile for once. Life is exhausting

artaxthehappyhorse,

When you’re juggling too many interrelated tangents in your brains RAM and start getting cache misses like crazy and go full core dump

artaxthehappyhorse,

Then you better start finding common ground with swing-obama-trump voters and find some non-israel things to compromise on, bc if far-lefties all stop voting or vote 3rd and all the non-lefties still show up to vote Republican, you just lose more ground to fascists.

artaxthehappyhorse,

Reminder that Facebook hates you and pays people to develop ways to manipulate and control your behavior. Request to download your account data, delete your account, and go outside. It’s less scary than you’re making it and you’ll feel better in the end.

Washington State and Illinois in a showdown

artaxthehappyhorse,

or it drifts into arrogance, then you’re attracting an entirely different type of person

artaxthehappyhorse,

…which still could be fine in theory: You have a close friend for companionship and you’re both getting your primal fun elsewhere… but that’s entirely in theory. somehow we manage to screw that up, as with most things humans do

artaxthehappyhorse,

I would think if someone’s up to some actual shady shit that they don’t want to draw the attention of any authorities, they’d be better off using a combination of several of the most popular web mail accounts, like Gmail, and manually encrypting the message before pasting it in or something I dunno, just bc it seems like surveillance systems become less effective with more collection volume, and Gmail has a lot of users

artaxthehappyhorse,

Think of all the unnecessary strain on our health care system. The lost economic output. All the mental health issues that compound due to physical health issues relating to fatness.

artaxthehappyhorse,

They’re saying that there seems to be a lot of people [online] who support cigarette bans, but probably don’t support bans on the junk foods they enjoy that contribute to a far more severe problem.

Also probably, folks attacking anyone online, including health professionals, who frames being overweight as a negative thing. I’ve seen these exact things [online] myself. I understand it’s a vocal minority though, as is often the case [on the Internet].

artaxthehappyhorse,

I remember being in school back in like 97,98 the teacher would turn on the news in first period. All I remember was everyday that school year there was coverage of Israel and Gaza blowing each other up.

artaxthehappyhorse,

What’s broken is human behavior. None of these clowns would be there if we all weren’t so dysfunctional. I really thought, “2016 will be the year the third party wins the presidency, I mean look at those two scumbags out there!”

That election was when I realized, it’s not just Republicans that are the problem.

artaxthehappyhorse,

I have this huge fear that working for an actual good cause that I admire would make me feel constantly guilty that I’m not doing enough, or doing a good enough job. I find a lot of comfort in knowing I work for a soulsucking for profit corporation.

And yes, I also hate that I feel this way

artaxthehappyhorse,

Because people have been more and more conditioned to obey year after year. To be absolute pushovers who never fight against the grain, never question groupthink, etc. Grandfathering the criminalization (using violent enforcement) of something like smoking a cigarette is a shining example of what’s to come.

artaxthehappyhorse,

Sure are a lot of authoritarian apologists up in here today

artaxthehappyhorse,

You ironically found yourself pointing out something valid. Banning companies from putting addictive substances into everyday products has always been a good idea (Meth in Cheerios, no thx). Banning an individual from choosing, by their own free will, to make a bad decision that doesn’t do any great harm to anyone else… is oppression my guy.

artaxthehappyhorse,

Add in the danger of having the following mentality: “what are these rights laying around that I’m not utilizing? What, that person over there enjoys having these rights? Well, I don’t like that person, so I don’t care about their rights fuck em”

This ladies and gentlemen, is how you Nazi 101 (but with rainbow flags and affirmative action this go-around)

artaxthehappyhorse,

It’s not shoving down their neck if they’re educated about the danger and choose to do it anyway. That’s called free will. Your job isn’t to sculpt or control your kids (bc that doesn’t ever work), your job is just to show them the ropes and hope they don’t fall down too much/too badly.

artaxthehappyhorse,

Many of us do it for sport tbh. A healthier way to gamify life sorta. I’ve been vegan since 2015/16 and it does increase the difficulty setting somewhat, but also it’s unlocked a million fun mini games for me along the way and provided much needed community.

artaxthehappyhorse,

Give it a shot, can’t hurt. You won’t become Buddha overnight, but it can certainly put you on a path toward much different ways of seeing yourself and everything around you.

artaxthehappyhorse,

What on earth happened to all the small businesses in my “poor” rural village? Oh right, that pedestrian unfriendly stroad next to the freeway with the Walmart and all the fast food restaurants sucking up the village’s life force happened.

artaxthehappyhorse,

Nah def not. Imo, from the evidence I’ve gathered so far about how the universe works, silver bullets don’t exist. Every solution has warts somewhere. Things we call “good” tend to require good old fashioned struggle and discomfort, so people need to stop pleasure seeking and chasing imaginary silver bullets. But they probably won’t, bc they’re conditioned to pleasure seek by capitalism and advertising and pop culture. Blah blah negative blah blah /rant
