Who's Going to Step Up?

I use my cell phone a lot. I am quite interested in my pedometer as well as with playing Rummy 500. I could easily make the case that I'm addicted to my cell phone.

And that's why this article I just read about abstinence isn't an option for Internet addiction is just complete and utter bullshit! Of course abstinence is an option! Turn off the cell phone and put it in your safety deposit box! Give it to a trusted friend that you don't see everyday!

I think we can all agree that NO ONE was born with a cell phone in their hand, right? Thus, to me, cell phone 'addiction' is a choice more than an illness. I know it's a line that seems to be fuzzy to some, but to me, NO, IT'S NOT FUZZY! People exist on this planet without a cell phone. If I didn't have my cell phone, I wouldn't know how many steps I walked from June 2017 through December 2017.

I WOULD STILL BE ALIVE!!!

You can read this article if you want, but I think it's total bullshit. Internet addiction: How do you treat addiction when abstinence isn't an option?

Dumb

Some articles / pages on the Internet are beyond my comprehension. For example, if you are titling your page "How to Convert to MP3 With Windows Media Player," why would you have a tip at the bottom that says "This procedure will likely only work for .WMA or .WAV files."

The title indicates the article's subject is converting to MP3 but the tip says the procedure "will likely only work for .WMA or .WAV files."

That's like saying, "In order to reuse the same words across multiple documents, follow this procedure" and then having a tip that says "This procedure will likely only work for graphics."

I was so dumbfounded I pasted the text from the article below. The original page is here.

How to Convert to MP3 With Windows Media Player

Submitted by Jason Gordon

Windows Media Player is built-in to Windows and is not a very powerful software application. It is primarily designed to rip Audio CDs to WMA or MP3 formats and play them back. This means your options are to either use Windows Media Player to burn a CD and then rip to MP3 or find a program that will convert to MP3 without wasting CDs.

The Main Steps

Open Windows Media Player. Insert a Blank CD and choose "Burn" from the menu. Select "Audio CD."
Add the audio files that you want to convert to the Now Playing Field.Click on "Start Burn."
Click on "Rip" when the CD is finished. Select the "MP3" format from the drop-down Menu. Click on "Start Rip."

THINGS YOU'LL NEED

  • CD-Rs

TIPS & WARNINGS

  • This procedure will likely only work for .WMA or .WAV files. To convert from other file types, try one of the programs listed in the "Resources section."

Why I Hate the Internet

I hate the Internet because stupid a$$holes make finding simple information an exercise in stupidity. All I want to know is the answer to this question:

Who the hell won PSU v. OSU?!?

That's all I want to know.

Instead, I keep getting this shit:


I don't have a virus and I sure as hell do not want to install an anti-spyware or anti-virus software from a company that does this shit.
