yeah I eat rear end posted:When people buy me a red text avatar about some drunkpost i made months after the fact. Like yeah it was a bad post, but how big of a loser do you have to be to comb through my post history that far back and get triggered enough to spend money to make me look like a moron? I do a good enough job at that on my own, you don't have to help. Well, uh, huh. Hmm. I certainly hope your pet peeve isn't people siding with the person who annoyed you!

docbeard posted:Well, uh, huh. Hmm. Mostly I just want to know who did it and what they were doing either reading a 6 month old thread or going that far back in my post history, because it's kind of funny. The argument is extremely dead and irrelevant anyway. I actually kind of like it because unlike that food network lady one someone bought me, at least I understand why they bought it and think that was a stupid post of mine. Anyway, another peeve: when you think someone really liked a gift you got them and then you find out months/years down the road that they just shoved it in a closet and never even used it. It should be socially acceptable to say you don't want/need a gift if that is the case - I could/would have taken it back and gotten them something else if they just would say so. I'd even rather they just give it away or regift it than keep it but never use it - at least let someone enjoy it. My mom is the worst with this.

When I was a teenager my dad would let me borrow his CDs and recommend bands he used to like growing up, and I usually liked them too. One year around his birthday I found out that one of the bands had released new music, so I got it for him thinking "Yeah! Dad strongly recommended this band, he'll love finding out they're still together!" Years later I found the CD, still wrapped in plastic on a shelf. I shrugged and asked if I could burn it for myself. He said sure. I wasn't offended, but felt a little weird asking about it, so it just remained a mystery. Years after THAT, I suddenly realized that when Dad originally told me about the band a decade previously, he hadn't said "Here's a band I used to like." He'd said "Here's a band I think you'll like." Turns out I had given him a CD from a band he hates (only to take it back from him later).  That's my story. Anyway, my coworker is still constantly telling me about her family drama whenever she has a moment of downtime. I remember last time I complained about this someone said to just tell her I had work to do, and I can now report back that she does not care. I can be typing, taking notes, pen in hand, whatever-- she just leans over the cubicle wall and starts up anyway.

Sorry if this is a repeat (I'll check after this), but: If I have to see/hear/read another "boo hoo my videos are demonetized", I'm going to flip a table. It's 2017. Even before all of this recent stuff started, the notion of earning your money off YouTube ads was increasingly a joke. Most people have adblockers anyway, and there's folks out there who'll pay a legitimate service option to have no ads. On top of all that, there's poo poo like Patreon that has been seized upon by creator to do what has been roundly established to be the way to make money off your content. And finally, as a selfish consumer-person, I'm not weeping about the notion that your videos don't have ads anymore. You're not going to stop making videos. You're not going to move to another platform that has 1% of the potential eyeballs. And if you do, it's youtube. You're replaceable.

I think ad-driven income needs to die. It's stupid. Make streamers and youtubers like their colleagues they don't like to talk about - camwhores. Charge money to let people watch you. That is the way of the future.

That's pretty much already happened with Patreon and Twitch has a paid subscription model built-in. The Youtube ad revenue dropped like a rock.

I’ve always felt ads are enormously overvalued. I’ve heard hundreds of blie apron, audible, etc ads on podcasts over and over, it just makes me hate the service. I don’t need to hear some podcaster hock you six times a day on my commute.

I knew someone with basically the same attitude. I got him to sign off that I gave him every drat thing he needed. 3 months later after I no longer worked there, he was personally offering $1500 in cash to do one of his assignments.

Then she called me at my new job (God knows how she got the number) and asked me how to do one of the things I spent an hour showing her. The SECOND time she called me, I told her that if she called me again I was going to charge a $50 an hour consulting fee every time she called me. Never heard from her again.

Fine. I shouldn't have to breathe your god-awful stench when I walk into a room. Related, and the cause of this being so common: it shouldn't be such a controversial thing to tell someone they stink. A lot of the times they just aren't aware of it, or think that nobody can smell it. If you tell them they will get pretty embarrassed (as they should), but will usually make an effort to fix the issue if you're nice about it. Other peeve: people who want you to do something/meet them/whatever and refuse to settle on a time. Like "hey could we talk this afternoon?". That could mean anywhere between 12-6, depending on how you define the start of "evening". At least give me an hour range. When you don't tell me it almost always means at like 6pm and you don't want me to say "oh how about tomorrow", which is very inconvenient because I come in much earlier than lunch like you and hate working into the evening. Even bigger peeve: when you tell me this, I wait around until like 5 waiting for the phone to ring, and I go down to ask if I can go home and I find out from the secretary that you left 2 hours ago. And yes, I've tried popping by a few times during the day and see if they are available, but they always either say "come back later" or are busy. Bosses who don't value punctuality/scheduling are the worst to work for imho.

I hate when the unpleasant parts of this forum bleed into the good parts. I was enjoying Warmal's Ocarina Of Time LP but he's moved entirely to youtube as him and his wife are no longer comfortable on this forum, which is a shame as now I'll have to keep an eye on his youtube channel. I like being able to just check what threads have updated without having to keep track of a million youtube accounts, so whatever happened to Warmal is a real arse. I know this forum's a lot better than it used to be, but it still obviously has a ways to go.

I knew someone who used to stink really, really bad. Eye-wateringly bad. People literally couldn't sit next to him for any amount of time. After lots of hinting which was ignored, it got to the stage where people actually started telling him to his face "You smell really bad, you need to wash" and he just laughed it off thinking it was some sort of joke.

My pet peeve used to be being forced to watch videos instead of being able to just read text in 1/8 the time to get whatever information I was looking for. That pet peeve is now that not only are videos ubiquitous online, but those lovely videos overlaid with text explaining what's happening in the video are everywhere. I am not a goddam toddler.

Job ads that, when you click on them, make you read a gigantic wall of marketing text before you even get to the job description. Then the job description is like two or three lines. Example: Project Manager - XYZ Corp. XYZ Corp is a dynamic, cutting-edge market leader that provides world-class solutions to our clients.....(goes on for about five paragraphs like that). Project Manager: Manages projects and does other stuff. Requirements: 3-5 years experience.

Like you read through the job duties and are like "yeah I can do that" and then at the very end they have the "minimum PhD in (very specific thing) plus 3 years specialized experience". Start out with that! Stop wasting everyone's time.

It drives me crazy when I'm trying to find a song by a musician or band and they have more popular songs that have similar themes or lyrics. I've been trying to find a specific song by the mountain goats where his alcoholic step dad chokes him out and he feels like he's drowning and there are like 5 songs that include drowning or alcoholic step dads or choking that are apparently more popular and I can't find it. It makes me feel like I'm going insane
