LET US DISCUSS PROBLEMS OF THIS NATURE SUCH AS HOW WHEN THE IMAGE IS SLIGHTLY DISTORTED ON OUR FUTURISTIC MOVING-PICTURE DEVICES THAT WE MAY COME DOWN ON THE CABLE REPAIR MAN WITH WRATH NOT UNLIKE THAT OF A GOD. FOR WHEN LORDS OF THE EARTH ARE UNABLE TO WATCH "16 AND PREGNANT" OUR WORLD IS SHATTERED.

For example, my magic game box is slightly less impressive now that I cannot play high-tech interactive games over the internet. Stupid PSN.

My apartment is a mess and despite slaving 30 some hours a week selling cellular phones in a heated and air conditioned store, I just can't scrape together enough money to hire a maid.

Why has God forsaken me?

I am an extremely gifted writer, and I have such stories to tell, and thanks to the pampered welfare society I live in I'm free from such worldly concerns as making a living that could take time away from the work, but because I don't have any pressure it takes me a very long time to make any progress.

It's too easy to get distracted with the infinitely accessible entertainment available to me!

I only have access to high-speed internet for part of the day and some of the week. This means that sometimes, when I want to download something very large, like a new game, I have to wait...perhaps for up to three days. I often have no recourse but to amuse myself with the games, shows and music I've already loaded to my laptop WHY MUST I BE PUNISHED? WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS?

For example, my magic game box is slightly less impressive now that I cannot play high-tech interactive games over the internet. Stupid PSN.

This pain, I feel it. I've had to go back to playing the slightly less high tech ps2 instead, and that required first a setting up of said machine, and repeatedly requires the changing over of scart cables and power leads when switching between it, the ps3 and normal television for watching other things on my 19"1080HD TV. The hassle you know?

Also my massive timesink of a procrastination device (otherwise known as my computer) is being a fucktard and keeps either a) lagging all the time (I might have to wait up to 3 minutes to load something up!), b) crashes all the time (a further 5 minutes of waiting as I restart the thing) or c) loads up pages that i did not ask it to load up, forcing me to move my mouse hand slightly more and click a button to get rid of it!

Oh and don't even ask it to stream more than three episodes of a show at any one time, because that kills the speakers, forcing a return to problem b).

My god!

EDIT: See??! Just posting this very post took well over 2 whole minutes! The fuck?!

And whilst I'm still here, why the fuck is fuel for my car so damned expensive? Seriously I can't even go for a frikkin' month without having to fill up for another £20 worth! And where's all this dust coming from and ruining the paintwork and coating it in shit and where did these fucking scratches on the side come from and who the fuck dented the drivers side door?!!

And why does Portal 2 have to cost SO fucking much? 40 fucking pounds?! Are you shitting me?! I will NOT pay anything more than 30 thank you very much.

My problems? I end my work as civil slave next monday and have to find a job again to earn the money I need to buy the fuel for the car I need to get to work.

Well, tough shit, first I need a car to pollute the environment with because I rocketed my last one off the road some months ago.

I also need new glasses, fuck that.

All these necessary possessions bind my freedom loving soul to the money. Which is a pretty abstract concept anyway. Fuck that, I'll just win in the lottery and solve all my problems forever. Err, I mean I'll revolutionize society by some means and make everyone happy.

Here's a real problem: New Firefox is ugly as heck, and now tabs just randomly pop in the middle of the other tabs with no rhyme or reason to it. I had to download an addon to use to make it not ugly terrible, but it doesn't fix the tabs popping in the middle of other tabs, but at least I figured out how to get the tabs on the bottom of my stuff again, as they should be.

Why didn't Mozilla realize that a ton of people who use their browser hate dumbed down stuff, and that they might want to use the old style of everything that is a real menu system?

My current job pays wonderfully while allowing me someplace to live and breathe, but I am significantly antisocial because at some point it becomes painfully obvious I am gay, which until someone tells my de-facto national leader, his staff of beauracrats, and everyone that surrounds me that it is okay to be gay now I will get me fired.

Note: Considered first world because in a third world country I'd be hanged, and it is not okay to be gay and my excellent pay would be in female virgins to rape. Which are not a very highly tradable commodity even if I'm not going to rape any of them.

I had to punch down two lions and three boars to be able to access this computer and then I see this thread.

Come on guys.

I'd like to tell you all about a story of a fellow compatriot who somehow manages to not have to fight lions to live: the other day some of my friends got together at the house of one of them and one who couldn't go was HORRORIZED that we were going to do something without him, since he couldn't go because his father didn't let him use the car that day. Walk? No! Take a bus? No! Take a taxi? No!

The first world has taken him. There is no turning back now.

Still, spell check. What kind of crap is this convenient piece of software that allows me to retain a second grader's spelling ability? Seriously. Now I gotta right-click that "convinient" up there to see how it's actually spelled, because I did not spell it right the first time. Off by a vowel; curses.

I SO feel your pain. I can blame it on my wireless internet and being two floors above the router, which is also on the other end of the house. But loading youtube vids is something I often just don't do. ESPECIALLY IN THE INTERESTING INTERNET STUFF THREAD WHERE OFTEN ENOUGH BARE VIDEO LINKS WITHOUT EVEN THE SLIGHTEST HINT ABOUT ITS CONTENTS CAN BE FOUND!!!!!

Well, at least people can't just post vids in the discussion forums and just go "yoyoyo, discuss, yo" anymore without incurring the wrath of the mods. And I don't even post there too much. Or ever. Most people just wouldn't really be okay with my tongue-in-cheek way to discuss some rather serious issues.

Token isn't entirely wrong, you should try some manual labor. It is hard yet rewarding work that honestly feels like you are achieving something in this world. As a terrible person once said, "The world need's ditch diggers too." Check out some construction work or something like that. It is a charming life from what I got out of it, I just didn't have the love for it my dad did.

Ants routinely invaded my house growing up, like every winter. I didn't know they were something considered something piling up. They were carpenter ants, too, and trying to destroy the house! :P

The little hexagon-type things, that have ant poison inside that the ants go into, get the poison-food, then bring it back to the den o' ants, work alright, and the liquid/syrupy poison that you put onto the little orange squares of cardboard and leave around work really well, but just be careful you don't do what I did and shove your hand into it. And also, be aware that you now have poison sitting around your house, and probably ought to wash your hands before you eat and stuff, more especially than usual.

Sorry I don't know the names of the products, I honestly didn't pay attention.

Apparently part-time jobs don't exist in Saskatoon. Currently I am bored out of my mind and spend at least 7 hours a day on the internet or watching Netflix, and 2 hours a day in the gym.

My favorite artist as far as famous ones go is Salvador Dali. He wasn't particular to critics and usually responded with overwhelming narcissism. Remember kids say you are a genius long enough and eventually people just give in.

Holy crap. It makes so much sense. Dali was trying to draw realistically, and then was criticized, then was all, "SHUT UP IT'S MY STYLE!"

Still got another seven to go! Which is more than five!


Also, who cares what critics say? I honestly don't get the whole not liking criticism thing that people have. I personally love to have stuff criticism'd, because generally when I make the changes that people have criticized, the work comes out a thousand times better. And also, if you encourage -all- feedback, when people stop criticizing, that's when you know that you have something good! XD

If only that was the only reason this year sucks worse then the last.

My first world problem is when people use "worst" instead of "worse." Every time I see it happen, I die a little. And then I kill a little

Ever felt like you just can't seem to stop ticking people off? Like being quite is the only reason anyone even bothers to like you?

Man, I really need to seriously fix my personality.

No, you need to be more offensive. I swear, being offensive is an inverse bell curve. When you're not offensive people like you, when you're kind of offensive people stop liking you, but then you just get so ridiculously offensive that there's no way you can seriously be like that, demonstrating an appreciation for irony AND PEOPLE LIKE YOU AGAIN. Seriously, about two years ago I just accepted that I'm snarky and inappropriate as possible, and ran with it, and now people's mental image of me includes sunglasses and dreamworks-esque smirking.

Due to immense suspicions that I am doing drugs I have been repeatedly woken up early for various piss tests. Anyone who knew me personally would find the suspicion laughable, but I ain't laughing. This shit sucks.

Also, K-bu remember the wisdom of Cave Johnson (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8ufRnf2Exc).

This chodemunching nutjuggler is right. Be as offensive as possible.

Here's a real problem: New Firefox is ugly as heck, and now tabs just randomly pop in the middle of the other tabs with no rhyme or reason to it. I had to download an addon to use to make it not ugly terrible, but it doesn't fix the tabs popping in the middle of other tabs, but at least I figured out how to get the tabs on the bottom of my stuff again, as they should be.

Why didn't Mozilla realize that a ton of people who use their browser hate dumbed down stuff, and that they might want to use the old style of everything that is a real menu system?

I still haven't updated to Firefox 4 :D

Oh, I suppose I should say something on topic:

First World Problems... I'm engaged to my girlfriend of three years, we're getting married next summer, and we don't have a kid yet. Did I mention we're under age 25? What the hell is wrong with us, we're doing it all in the wrong order or something.

Oh, and we're trying to move the hell out of the madhouse full of people into an apartment on our own and we can't find anything that's less expensive than "an arm, a leg, and your firstborn child."

Well, that helps you be less of a madhouse full of people.

It's only a negative asset if you happen to be the firstborn.

We're still naive enough to think we can get away with just "an arm and a leg" and we don't want kids for at least seven years.

Well, that helps you be less of a madhouse full of people.

I am a firstborn child. Thankfully, my father had the good sense to get a home BEFORE shit hit the fan.

My friends suck because they all cancel when I actually find a baby sitter. I don't even keep track of how long it is between nights out anymore.

Its okay though, I have 3 seasons of scrubs and no children.

That just means that you could have foregone pants, and people would have still been jealous of your bitchin' jacket and jeans.

Or you could have gone nude, and people could have been jealous of your bitchin' genes.
