Everything's amazing, nobody's happy
category: general [glöplog]
The video is so true. I got an iPhone 4-5 months ago and for a moment i was amazed how cool everything was etc. Then i got pissed off with no physical buttons and even the smallest little glitches and things like the horizontal-to-vertical-animation and i sold it away. Nothing is ever enough.
anyway, you can never fulfil happiness by filling in with objects, despite all the efforts of marketroids to make you believe so.
I'm happy with my sony ericsson v610. Vodafone keeps offering me new phones, but this one is good enough for what I need. And I don't have time to get used to any other one.
My point was that, sometimes people isn't happy with some demos that get released when in the other hand they contribution isn't a lot.

Mentor: I didn't say I wasn't. There's nuuuuuumerous times I've just discarded things as shit when in fact they're quite amazing. I think we all are like that sometimes. =)
Mentor: However it IS a fun observation, and as I said also it can be applied to the scene aswell. :)
Rename the thread to MacOS is amazing, nobody's happy with it's boot loader size.

No.
You just did. Ha!
This video made me happy
well, for one, i'm happy!
I love Pouët: Some guy comes around and posts something that is relevant to most of us (if not all) - a perspective which, if you would adopt it, could make you so much happier. And then, 90% of the thread from there is about size-coding. Wonderful :)
goatse.cx.... so amazing, but nobody's happy when staring at it

The actual financial crisis is so amazing, and I must say I'm quite happy. Exciting times.
This is all because people nowadays have no sense of history. That's sad because we don't know where we come from, which means we can't appreciate where we are, and all the people that have fought and worked hard to achieve what we got technologically and as a society. We also have no sense of what might have been better in the past, that we have lost in the process. This means we have no qualified opinion on where we should go in the future. We only care about what we can get here and now, which is a very narrow perspective.
This might not apply to everyone, but I think it does to most, at least me. I blame the history classes in school which really sucked. Basically we were watching bad VHS movies all the time.

gosh, so it was just me thinking that people innovate in order to sell?
Well, it's just the usual stuff: Most people define themselves by what they are against, not what they are for. It's much easier to say what you don't like and live by the rule "I know who I am because I know what I dismiss."
That's how it goes if you are poor and that's how it goes if you are rich.

In what way does me saying "I don't believe what you are saying" make any sort of confirmation of your statement?
"I don't know what I want, but I know what I don't want."
The argument is mute, seeing as any statement either towards or against something automatically carries with it the inverse feelings for the opposite statement to a certian degree. One could argue that some feelings are indeed stronger than others, but I don't subscribe to the idea that hate is stronger than love, rather the opposite (as indicated above, which for some reason made Salinga "rest his case").
The point being: someone going "I disagree" does in no way, shape or form, "prove" that "people are defined by what they are against". It just means that something was said that someone disagreed with. The fact that people speak out more often against something than for something is rooted in the obvious: if you agree, you usually don't feel the need to make that voice heard, even though the feeling of agreement is indeed there.
i love those people who complain all the time about that people complain all the time.
