Ever be reminded why you don't like something?

[Mooshi]

Just as the title states, ever give something another chance ect and remember why you were turned off in the first place? 

 

For me, it was last night and cemented why I don't like Apple. It isn't the price tag, it's everything else. A good Windows PC can be more expensive than an Apple device so it was never about the price tag. So, last night the GF and I were tasked with a simple task--to load her mother's iPad with music for a trip. 

 

Simple enough, right? NOPE. Now, her mom had an Apple computer forever ago, but has an HP slimline present day that I will be replacing soon for a custom build. This woman doesn't have an Apple ecosystem, she only has the iPad because her other daughter gave it to her. Step one? Loading the cancer of iTunes to my computer. 

 

It was loading cancer for a good cause, so I reluctantly had the GF install it. And what do you know, by DEFAULT it tries to sync my ENTIRE library to a device with 16GB of storage. There is the first fail.  After hitting cancel in a panic, we went to clean things up and noticed fail #2. For a company whose bread and butter are creatives, Apple SUCKS when it comes to file format. 

 

A good chunk of my music are lossless formats or close vs the standard mp3. iTunes fails to acknowledge the existance of .ogg files. So, lemme get this straight. Apple is better than everyone else for content creation and yet this company is stripping away ports and has limited formats it can recognize? Makes perfect sense to brag on those credentials. ?

 

Countless hours later (I was asleep while the GF soldiered on into the morning hours), only a fraction of the songs were on the iPad from converting to compressed mp3s (and iTunes being reinstalled since after the first incident, it was uninstalled)...this same process has taken under half an hr for my GF's pixel thanks to logical drag in drop AND being able to support more than scrub formats. 

 

Tl;dr iTunes is trash and the Apple ecosystem is more of a PITA than intuitive.

I've never had iTunes do that to me. That's super odd.

 

On another note, politics can go fuck itself. It unleashes the true character of everyone, including myself.

Cheap chinese fast food. I am not sure if that was chicken or chicken-shaped rubber, but I could feel it brewing in my stomach for days.

 

Leading to the realisation: 'Oh yeah, I actually hate that shit.'

McDonalds burgers. Got one hell of a burger last time. The El Maco deluxe. It had two beef patties in it.

Barely tasted any meat what so ever.. 

Another time i risked it and got a chicken burger. Wasn't happy when i bit into a piece of cartilage.

Those are from two different restaurants too. 

 

Lager beer. Continuously reminded that i really can't stand it as my friends have endeavored to find one lager beer i like..

All of it should be rebranded as pisswasser in my opinion

 

Kiwis. Had one yesterday. Don't get it.. Hairy fruit.. why?

 

I have a ton more. But i won't clog up the thread with it

So much yes. Secretly though. I don't want to get lynched as lager beer is Finnish past time hobby #2 after self hate.

It's usually bland tasting, and just fills you up without any satisfaction. It's okay if my only purpose is inebriation because it's cheap.

There is something about the aftertaste that just irks me. Can't stand it. 

Thankfully i don't get that with dark beers.

My flatmate, she is just horrible but there is bliss when I forget that every so often.

Lol same.

 

mine is Ubisoft. On siege for example, they were fixing matchmaking, other connection bugs came in, they fixed that, now they have a net code problem, then they fixed that, infinite loading screens now, fixed that now we have infinite matchmaking errors, they fixed that, now their servers are down every now and then for no goddamn reason. Fixed that, now we have net code problems, cant wait for the cycle to continue.
