yeah I eat rear end posted:and the titles DO that THING to try and get people to EPICLY REACT and CLICK on them And then if you watch them the Channel 4 social media fuckheads will review their metrics and nod and go "hmm yes our titles are clearly working BETTER DOUBLE DOWN ON IT" And while we're on the subject people are doing this with Fool Us clips now and it's twice as annoying because they're not even the rights holders. They're piggybacking on the brand value of two guys who have been in magic for decades while making them look like complete rubes in the preview stills, and magic may be a carny business but that poo poo is downright sleazy.

WHAT? My manager gets really mad about this and asks for another person to talk to sometimes  Peeve: people who don’t believe you have bad hearing just cause you’re not 100 years old, and ESPECIALLY people who get MAD at you that you can’t hear them.

I email back that it is in the client folder just waiting for his part. Exactly one month later.

The fancy coffee shops are replacing almond milk with oat milk because apparently almonds are bad for the environment. But oak milk tastes like rear end.

Thin Privilege posted:How the hell are almonds bad for the environment?? Because they're mostly grown in California in the US, and they take massive amounts of water to grow, compared to say oats. The water usage is in huge focus due to the large droughts there. Not to mention the fact that you can get around 1 glass of dairy milk from ~100 liters of water. Meanwhile you need 4.4 liters of water to grow a single almond. If they were grown hydroponically, or in greenhouses in other areas of the country where water is more plentiful, it would be a total non-issue.

Eek... I didn’t know that. That actually is another peeve: companies changing stuff without telling you why. I went to Jimmy Johns the other day and they had a COMPLETELY new menu that was confusing as gently caress, and I asked the register person why and they were like, “I don’t know, I’m confused by it too.” I think this is a new trend to make customers buy expensive items or ones they don’t need; target is doing this as well by remodeling their store layouts to make NO sense. So; for example you’re wandering around trying to find their basic $8 shirt and then some cute earrings pop up and you’re like “omg I need these!” when you’re just there for the shirt but you are in the middle of a bunch of a variety of poo poo (long sleeve, dresses, sweaters, and then somewhere in that is the basic shirt shelf). Thank god for the Zillions managzine they made us read in 4-6 grade so I see through all that bullshit. Thin Privilege has a new favorite as of 11:21 on Sep 19, 2018 |

The appeal of almond milk is that it's low in calories while looking creamy so you can fool yourself into thinking you're drinking a healthier drink. But yeah it's still 99% water and sugar. On the other hand I really don't want my coffee to taste like oats.

Maybe it's just the brand my mum gets but in coffee almond milk is the opposite of creamy, it goes weirdly coagulated/ split and settles at the bottom of the cup. It yuck. So far oat milk has not done that to me but to be fair I only started drinking it like two weeks ago and I've been using the "Barista" version which has a bunch of poo poo added to it so it foams and behaves more like normal milk  I am now living gluten free (ceoliac), red meat free (cows and pigs are cute) and dairy free to see if it helps my skin and I do honestly hate myself a bit when I think about it.

It shouldn’t be reacting to coffee. I put it in coffee refills to reduce the calories I drink from sugary creamer and it’s fine.

The trend for "healthy" food to use stevia as a sweetener instead of sugar, sucralose, etc. Stevia tastes straight-up like bitter chemicals to me, and has the same effect as cilantro -- it ruins everything and turns the flavor into " POISON DO NOT EAT"But also along that line, marketing which promotes caloric sweeteners like honey and agave as healthier options than table sugar -- they too are made of sugars just like, you know, sugar.

They also changed their pricing so it used to be sandwiches 1-6 are $5 and 7-17 (or whatever) were $6, now it’s some random thing like # 1, 3, 4 are $6 and 2, 5, 6 are $7. All just a scam. People who loudly scoff with an unnecessary assumption even though, in reality, its going to be a zero second delay but they’re just assholes and assume it’s gonna take a while before hand beforehand. I have a face cream that has to be mixed up by the pharmacist so the register lady was like “oh one of these has to be—” and AS SOON AS SHE SAID THIS, this jackass in those cheap $2 sunglasses and a beer gut and logo shirt (you can probably imagine the stereotype) scoffs VERY LOUDLY. I literally just have to pay for my medicine and sit in the chair next to the counter, and the register lady didn’t even finish her sentence. Then he went on to ask some random long question to the register lady. My transaction took like 30 seconds, his like 2 minutes. Dumbass. I bet he makes an even louder scoff if it’s an old person who comes up to the register at the grocery store. E: please don’t say “to be fair...” because he didn’t even hear the last part of the sentence and even if he did, he would have heard me say “no problem” and walk away. That’s another peeve. People who say that when it’s unwarranted. Thin Privilege has a new favorite as of 18:59 on Sep 19, 2018 |

it's harder to find just regular-rear end silk vanilla soymilk now because there's 40 other types of non-dairy milk available and while that's awesome for ppl who can't drink dairy or soy products, I prefer soymilk over any of the nut/other non-dairy milks :/ I haven't seen the smaller sized containers of silk soymilk in a long time. the half gallons are okay but, for the same reason we don't buy full gallons of regular milk, I doubt we'll use it all before it goes bad.

Places that sell sandwiches with pre-designed contents but you still have to customize it. Like if I order a philly cheesesteak sub from publix, why do I have to go through the "want lettuce on that? want olives? want mustard?" routine? I want a philly cheesesteak. Why do they always act so surprised you want it the way it's advertised?

Somewhat a FWP too, but a somewhat estranged friend of mine posted on Facebook that she is finally pregnant, after six years of trying! The peeve is SHE IS ONE AND A HALF MONTHS PREGNANT and showing pictures everywhere and even as a woman who will never get pregnant, I cannot see how this is a good idea when she has PCOS and the chance to miscarry is possible! It's like she is trying to fish for attention and is starting to chum the water instead of waiting patiently to be safe. edit: She's had many close times in the past few months where she was sure she was pregnant only for it to not be so, so yes this is an excitable time...but almost every other pregnant girl I've ever known has waited until at least four/five months in.
