Jippa posted:In the UK/Ire calling some one a oval office as an insult is just a catch all word meaning very bad that has no reference to gender. Tarantula posted:Uh yea it's a friendly greeting to people you know well and it can be used as a compliment too eg: "dazza is one tough oval office, cunts built like a brick shithouse".

I have two friends who are sisters, and on Facebook, they often refer to their children as their "minions." It's a stupid thing to even notice and I shouldn't care, but for some reason it gets my dander up every time I see it.

Cowslips Warren posted:A friend of mine did a surprise documentary.....about himself. He did it over a few months, and it's actually getting shown in a small theater here. What's it about, other than himself? How most people have watched 2k movies in their lifetimes, but he is up to 10k and will keep going. I don't understand how anyone can tally that poo poo, and who would care, let alone WHO IS GOING TO SEE A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT A GUY SELF-FELLATING HIMSELF with pants on. I have a friend who's in her young twenties and is a self-proclaimed writer. She kept updating her social media accounts about her book she was working really hard on, with like, an entire wall filled with post-it notes, all the stress she's having, etc. I was like cool! You're working really hard! Can't wait to read it! And then I found out it was her memoirs and more than half of the book consisted of the time she backpacked through Asia one summer. Who the gently caress cares about that, you're like 22 years old, in what reality would anyone else other than you find this interesting. At least she finished the book though

On a related note, it makes me unreasonably angry when people call themselves a "writer" or "artist" or "musician" or whatever when they have never truly successfully done it for a living, let alone made any money off of it.

People who call themselves and other "Gamers" Like what the gently caress. If I come home from my job as a painter, mow the lawn, do the dishes and then play some video games. It does not make me a painter-gardener-dishwasher-gamer. It makes me a painter who sometimes plays games on my spare time.

Jerry Cotton posted:"I'm a biker." It's implied. If you don't do it for a profession then you are just a guy who draws/writes/whatever as a hobby. At least call yourself an amateur or something. It's the same with any profession. I couldn't rightfully call myself an astronomer until I got hired as one. Until then I was just a guy with a degree who wanted to be one.

The best thing to do with a woman on your team is to have them say something and then mute voice chat forever on the other team

Claiming a thing/person is someone's "spirit animal". It's incredibly obnoxious.

Being a girl in a chat room and getting only pms for cybering. Sometimes its straight up and obvious with the "hey *random compliment* do you have skype?" and stuff, but sometimes they try to pull "Oh no, I would never even think of asking for that! Let's just talk. About what hypothetical sex with me would be like. In detail." Luckily they are easy to kick from rooms. I do have to give props to one guy, he opened with "I hope you have a 24 hour vet nearby because I am about to destroy that pussy". How could you not give it up with an ice breaker like that?

I even have a tendency to pop in to random parties that pubs invite me to and its not uncommon for a woman to be in there and I've yet to really see any obnoxious sexism. Even if the party ends up being a bunch of annoying gamer bros. That may very well just be the games I play though. I'm also virtually never in public chat. I'll make a party even when I'm playing alone so I don't have to listen to them.

Chat rooms have come to the future, its pretty neat when you have cool interesting people from around the world. Also when people get super wasted on camera, thats fun too.

The poo poo you do see is the angry shitlords who think they're gods at the game and rage at their teams for every mistake, major or minor, real or imagined.

I don't know about "good hearing", maybe just being incapable of living around other human beings. People make sounds. If you live in close proximity, you'll hear some of those sounds. If you can't tolerate that, go live by yourself in a cave like the crazy hermit you are obviously meant to be.

It never seemed like noise in general was the problem there, just excessive noise. Noise is a part of living in apartments, sure, but there is a threshold where a person can reasonably expect their neighbors to stay under. If they are regularly waking you up at normal sleeping hours, it is probably beyond that threshold and complaining is warranted. Still, as you learned in your last place I think, I doubt complaining will do anything so unfortunatrly you will probably have to make do with earplugs or something.
