I think it's supposed to deflect away from the author's enthusiasm by insulating their dedication to the subject in ironic turns of phrase. Liking poo poo ain't cool, friend. People on tumblr used to do that all the time, which gave way to the ever popular tag "all caps" where people could block basic information texts like "Did you know that mantis shrimp can see MANY colours?" that were worded like "LISTEN UP YOU SANDY MOTHERFUCKERS I AM ABOUT TO DROP SOME GOTDAMNED TRUTHBOMBS ON YA DID YOU KNOW SHRIMP CAN SEE LIKE A BUNCH OF COLOURS HOT drat DROP A BEAT" or whatever

People who refer to animal euthanasia as murder. Especially people who work in animal rescues. Look, I rescue too, but seriously, screaming that you will like humans more than animals when it's okay to kill humans the same as we do animals, makes you sound goddamn off the wall crazy. It's like the people who scream abortion is always murder. Even for a miscarriage? Along that line, the insane mentality of "I save more animals than YOU DO." For some people in this rescue, it's almost a mad collection to see who can take on as many as possible as fast as possible. And the week of Xmas the rescue always pushes the "Xmas Rescue" and asks that everyone take ONE more animal. It's almost peer pressure sometimes. And the group wonders why I'm backing out of fostering. poo poo, the time I complained I had seven kittens all with ringworm, I was blasted on Facebook as to how many more kittens other people had. Some people have 30 loving cats and kittens they foster. They also have no life outside the rescue, their entire house would reek of cat piss if not for the fact they have "volunteers" from the rescue come and clean their loving houses....and most have no jobs outside of the house. Peeve outside of rescue: the term and ideas behind affluenza. Because being rich means you never pay for anything.

Cowslips Warren posted:animal crazies I worked with someone who constantly took in rescues and she makes probably around $1600 a month, lives in downtown Toronto, and at the moment has three cats, three dogs, a turtle, a lizard, some fish and two rats (vets here are insanely expensive: she is in serious debt). She takes in poor sad animals who have serious behavioral issues and places this excessive emphasis on their emotions, and expects every one else to do the same. It's infuriating. When she realizes one animal is too much trouble she tries to pawn them off on people, but her standards for pet ownership are so strict that she'll keep seriously lovely animals for years because no one can live up to her expectations. To top it off, she also projects her emotional problems onto her animals. Like, she has a Westie who she openly despises and constantly offers to give away to people because he's nervous and wets himself sometimes. One of my friends almost took him despite the fact that he doesn't like dogs all that much just because it was so pathetic and weird. I bring this up because she's like 90% of the people I've worked with in rescues and foster programmes. It's a sad one-up game dominated by people who use animals to negotiate with their intense emotional problems and they exist because of a tiny minority of vapid assholes who produce an enormous influx of abandoned animals because they decided to buy an unfixed dog at 9PM while drunk*. *: Not a joke. A guy tried to do this once at a pet supply place I worked at. He was very unhappy to find out we didn't sell dogs.

Might be along the same lines, but people that aren't interested in anything you're doing until they see how cool/fun/interesting it is. I've had friends do that where we plan a trip somewhere, someone says "can't make it, sounds boring" or something similar, then one of two things happens: they get mad because we all had fun without them, or come in at the last minute after everything is planned/paid for and expect everyone to accommodate them. Nope, gently caress that, had your chance and blew it pal.

It's just that my car is 30 years old and the only way to lock it is to lock the trunk and see the little pegs go down, so when I borrow or rent a newer car, I have to hear the little toot-toot to make sure it's locked. I don't MEAN to be obnoxious, I'm just not used to cars that are more than 10 years younger than me.

DavidAlltheTime posted:Also: Being tall so doing the dishes kills my back. I'm not even that tall (5'11") and my back KILLS after only doing dishes for a few minutes. Kitchen counters are too drat short. I think the standard is 36"? But I'm pretty sure the standard was developed decades ago, primarily for women, cause back in the day they were more likely to be doing the kitchen work. A few more inches (let's bump it up to 40" maybe?) won't make it that much harder for the average 5'4-5'8" person to wash dishes, do cooking, etc... but it would make a world of difference for those of us taller than that.

That awkward period of time after a snowstorm where the ice and snow has melted on main streets and it's perfectly fine to drive the speed limit but nearly everywhere you could turn off on still has slush or snow or ice and is still slippery so you have to slow down a ton just to turn or pull into anywhere and then people ride your rear end while you do so.

The standard ergonomics measurements were compiled by WWII draft measurements, which means the standards we use today were set by teenagers in the 1940s who grew up during the Great Depression and therefore malnourished and smaller than today's average. There hasn't been a mass measuring of the general population since then so that's what we're still using.

I have been on a lot of long-haul flights in the last couple months, and they're lovely. I used to think the worst part of a flight was right after you'd landed, where everyone jumps up and stands around with their sweaty asses in your face and their bags dangling over your heads. That's pretty bad. But the actual worst part of a flight is when they try to cram four courses of a meal onto a tray the size of a paperback book. Then you have to eat it without spilling any on yourself, and they sit there for a loving hour with the precariously-stacked dirty dishes trapping you in your seat, hoping that some turbulence doesn't knock a piece of greasy foil or a half cup of Coke into your lap. It makes an already-uncomfortable situation practically unbearable.

When you pull into a store with a super small parking lot at a busy time, so there's no spots, and some jackass walks into his car, turns it on... And then pulls out his phone and starts talking on it! The jackass was STILL sitting there when I came out of the store 20 minutes later. People who are so afraid of saying the N word that they self-sensor when they're singing a song with the word in it. In the song Only by Nicki Minaj it's literally every 3 words in the chorus so it sounds really loving stupid to hear someone pause every second to avoid saying it out loud. Maybe I'm wrong here but imo there's a difference between singing a song and a context where it's used as a derogatory term. Conversely, "well THEY can say it, why can't I?" Also: "All rap music is the same" "rap is all about bitches hos money and curse words" and in general the people who act all high-and-mighty and smug because they don't listen to this "inferior" music.

If you want to talk to me when I'm playing a video game, watching a movie, or listening to a podcast, please say something and wait for me to turn off/pause/mute whatever I'm doing before talking. Maybe you can process three people talking about a movie, me shooting things, and hearing about whatever you're talking about at the same time, but I loving can't and adding me going waitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwait to the combo isn't helpful.

I have the opposite of this. Someone close to me somehow just can't process more than one source of sound at once. If you're in the car with him, he refuses to have the radio on unless everyone stays 100% absolutely silent. If you talk to him or to anyone else in the car, the radio instantly gets turned off and won't go back on again until everyone's silent again. If he's playing a game or listening to music and you say something casual that doesn't even require a response, like 'hey that's neat' or whatever, he has to turn it off and then have you repeat yourself. He swears up and down he doesn't have any hearing problems and his hearing seems normal otherwise, like he doesn't ask you to repeat yourself a lot during a normal conversation or anything. And it makes me absolutely insane. I just want to be able to point out a pretty sunset while listening to music okay

How is it that video games with autosaves still don't have a way to find out when you last saved? When I go to quit the game, telling me that I'll lose all progress since my last save doesn't really help much if I have no idea when that was. Why not just say "If you quit you will lose all progress since your last save, which was 2 minutes ago." Or better yet, stop pretending like you can't just save wherever and just make the option "save and quit". Or, actually far better option, let me just save whenever the gently caress I want, and create as many save games as will fit on my hard disk, because why the gently caress should I not be able to do that?
