FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS

Nique · 05-06-2011, 01:33 AM

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.

The light on my water filter is red. My drinking water is not pure.

I could fucking die.

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!

ALSO CHECK IT OUT HOW IS MY FAMILY SUPPOSED TO FUNCTION WITH ONLY ONE CAR?! I DON'T CARE IF SOME KID IN THE DESERT HAS TO EAT DIRT FOR A LIVING BECUASE AN OIL RIG IS SUCKING ALL THE WEALTH OUT OF HIS COUNTRY WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO TAKE THE BUS?!

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?

So when Nique makes a thread...

Nevermind, I too am saddened over the loss of internet on my black game box.

Dude, I drink water straight from the ground with no alterations at all.

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

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."
