i don't care why. just fix it #1

seriously

this is why people pirate shit.

how many fucking weeks do i have to wait for this? if you advertise it over here, make sure we can fucking buy it. it's not that fucking hard.

i love my ipad kindle app, it lets me buy things at what they're actually worth, minus the assortment of taxes and penalties and such that we pay here in australia for, well, just about anything. despite having a higher exchange rate than the $US. downloaded stuff just shouldn't cost more because the physical product does. there's no printing costs, there's no postage, there's no courier charges, it weighs fuck all, and the writer is probably getting buttfucked by the publisher anyway.

but the titles available are limited by whatever bullshit excuse for drm restrictions, copyright crap and a whole lot of other bullshit we have in australia. so i can search for shit, i know it exists, i could buy the physical book but i can't buy the ebook.

Dear Government Arseholes,
Fix this shit. You've finally given in on the whole R18+ category for video games, so get with the rest of the digital program.

Stop being a pack of useless retards about everything and just fix shit.

—Yours Sincerely,

the letter m.

my life as a compulsive reader

see, i read. a lot. i can't seem to help it. i read anything that has words. as far as i'm concerned, libra designed their odd spots for people like me.

not that long ago, this was an advantage, but as the news cycle got shorter and shorter, and most of the articles on the local newspaper website became cut and paste jobs, it just fills my brain with stuff i don't want to know, stuff that pisses me off, and pretty much endless arguing by people paid to submit reactionary comments on subjects they pretty much don't even remotely understand attached to articles they apparently don't even read.

i'm hoping one day google will become sophisticated enough to just crawl the web and present me with stuff that i actually want to read, and will just trim out all the morons for me. i don't see it so much as censorship but protection of my blood pressure. i'm actually that easily annoyed. also, that lazy.
