Strategic Tea posted:Are US polling stations so sparse people can't just drop by coming home from work or whatever? Granted I don't live in the countryside but I never heard of anyone needing time off to vote. The lines are really loving long and it's always on a Tuesday so I guess it can kill a huge chunk of my workday. The only election I've voted in on Election Day in my young adult life was the primary this past spring, and that was in and out. I just voted for the general election this morning at an early voting location and the other two I've done were absentee.

Why are people buying 32 or 40 oz yeti tumblers? Do you really need to keep a day's worth of soda on your desk at all times? I also see people getting 32oz thermos and filling it with coffee. That's a lot of loving coffee for one day man.

People who "let you in" on their dumb conspiracies. They're building a new power station outside my work, and one of our guests stopped by to tell me some !!hot secrets!! about how construction workers rush the hard parts and then lollygag on the easy stuff. The way he told me about this you'd think he was giving me insider trading tips about corn futures or something.

Pet peeve: people who make up stupid bullshit just to participate in a conversation they know nothing about. When I went to get my emissions inspection done for my car, the guy ahead of me struck up some small talk and I happened to mention that I drive a Mini Cooper. He immediately replied, "oh, those are terrible, they get horrible gas mileage and they handle like crap." I get fuckin 34 mpg on average, guy, and it handles beautifully, but good job baselessly making GBS threads on my choice of car trying to sound like you know something. Dude drove a big fuckoff truck, too, probably gets 16 mpg on a good day.

That doesn't even make any sense - Minis are known for sharp handling and they're fairly small, of course they're going to get decent fuel economy. Dude's probably confused and is conflating your car with a Smart car, which gets lousy mileage(for its size) and handles terribly. I would have made a comment about the survey that just came out about how the men with the smallest penises drive big pickup trucks, but I'm a complete rear end in a top hat.

Yeah but why do you want that much water? I'm not talking about having a glass of water on the bed stand. I'm talking about having like a 40z tub of water. I don't know why the gigantic sizes are the best sellers.

I'm at a hotel and Aliens came on, which is cool because I haven't seen any of those movies in so long that I didn't remember anything. Really enjoyed it. Reeeeaaally got invested in Ripley saving that adorable little girl. Good ending; satisfying. Alien 3 came on immediately after.

So is the pet peeve Alien 3, or dog killing? Or both? Anyway 40-64 oz of water isn't some obscene amount. I've seen fairly often people carrying around gallon milk jugs of water and nobody really gives them a second look. This is much smaller and has the added benefit of keeping it cold all day. It'd be a lot to drink in one sitting, sure, but the whole point of things that keep things cold/hot for a long time is doing the opposite of that.

It's hard for me to articulate exactly--the way a character was fleshed out and treated as so important, and then unceremoniously killed off-screen just to make way for the next story. Dogs dying in movies is a separate pet peeve (I always skip the first part of Jon Wick.)

Above everyone else agnostics: Every single time a debate about religion comes up some fucktard thinks hes being a genius because he understands that you cant prove a negative. However while this epistomological position is sound it is not practical term to use because people conflate that understanding with being a fence sitting moron who cant make up their minds about if a magical sky daddy exists or not. Which BTW if you are of the latter that sort of agnosticism is a position just like not being able to decide what to order is buying pizza. You dont need all the facts or to look into every nook and cranny of the universe to have a belief one way or the other. If you spent a good month thinking about it and you still think "maybe he exists, maybe not" you are just indecisive. Anyways, back to the arrogant prick. If this prick actually took any time to understand the context of agnosticism he would know that it can apply to either: -A claim that one cannot possibly know if God exists or not (sound argument) -One who claims he does not know if God exists or not (sound argument) -A person who is neither a theist or atheist (indecisive gently caress) Most importantly the word "know" or "knowledge" is used for agnosticism and any definition of atheism is bound to have the word "belief", "disbelief" or any variation of that. Which not only means that agnosticism is a different claim altogether, but that you can actually be both. Which is why agnostic atheism is a widely used term in the skeptic community: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnostic_atheism Also worth mentioning that all of the good definitions for agnosticism are useless unless you are in a philosophical circle. Just saying that you are an atheist gets the point across. You dont believe in God. You have made up your mind about it and decided that you dont think God exists. You have no intention of misleading people so you say "what you believe" when it comes to that subject instead of trying to tip toe around it. If it werent for theists and agnostics trying to say that disbelief in God requires faith and then call it a wash we would probably not need to have this debate over semantics. Just making it clear, agnostic started this poo poo. Midig has a new favorite as of 22:39 on Nov 6, 2016 |

This is really me being upset with myself, but restaurant waiters taking everyone's plates away while I'm still eating, then giving me a confused look when I say that I'm still eating. I've always eaten pretty slowly, but over the past few years I've developed ultra slow eating habits as a way to combat the effects of my colitis. ESPECIALLY if I'm also trying to have a conversation. I know waiters are basically expected to come after a certain period of time but I enjoyed the food and I don't need a box. Stop looking at me impatiently, I can't help it

Magic Hate Ball posted:My coworker is a big brassy black lady with an easy-to-pronounce Japanese name, and our guests get totally addlepated over it. We've had people who only correspond with her via email coming in looking for "the Asian woman", people who talk to her over the phone who come in and ask for "Shaniqua", and people who just can't figure out how to pronounce it. It's a really simple name but every week it's "Hi, can I talk to Coco?" or "Hi, is Shiriko there?" like, if y'all can pronounce Tchaikovsky you can pronounce this easyass name. This is similar with my name. Every sound in it exists in English. "Janos"="Yah+Nosh" It's not hard. When I get a phone call and I say "My name is Janos, J.A.N.O.S. Janos". "It's pronounced "Yah-nosh". Yet every rear end in a top hat has to say it phonetically based on the spelling. They all say it like Janis as in "Janis Joplin". You just heard me say it mother-fucker! Just parrot it back like my 7 year old can do! My loving dog knows what my name sounds like. I don't care at this point and I don't even correct people anymore unless they ask to be corrected. Often times, they can never learn that a "J" can sound like a "Y" and that an "S" can sound like a "sh". My best friend still can't get the "sh" part and we've been working together for 16 years.
