My rear end rules and I love getting rare angles of it. How often do you even get to check out your own rear end?

You are naked, bleary, slightly hungover, very tired. Your ear is kinda hosed up from the plane - it popped, but only kinda, and now it alternates between dull bass noises and hissing. But, by golly, you're in the hotel, and you're going to enjoy this shower! You turn it on. It emits a feeble dribble of lukewarm water. You wait, but it just continues to dribble. There's a shower unit on the wall.. It has 45 dials, 8 buttons and a hand crank. Invisible to the naked eye, and placed totally at random, are a tiny blue dot, a tiny red dot and a tiny very red dot. You turn a dial. A pipe starts to shake with a rhythmic CHANG CHANG CHANG CHANG CHANG CHANG CHANG. The water remains unchanged. You press a button. A vent near the shower kicks into life, sprays out a couple of spiders, and shoots a jet of cold air up your tuckus. Two doors down, a Chinese man is annoyed that you keep shouting for him. You try another button. The water stops, then starts shooting into your groin from a previously-unnoticed sprinkler system. You spin a dial. The water is now hotter than the surface of the Sun. Lobster pink, and making monkey noises, you dive out of the way and stand, simultaneously burnt and freezing. Thick steam obscures all vents, your glasses are now a dim suggestion in the middle of a ball of condensation. You reach in, contorting yourself furiously to avoid the molten jet, and spin the [wrong] dial. The hot jet of water is now ice cold, inexplicably aimed directly at your genitals, and you turn a rather pleasing shade of blue. You put the dial in the middle, and the water alternates between freezing and molten. Dial #8 increases the water pressure to tooth-loosening levels. Grimacing, your skin dimpled in a good two inches, you twist -something- on the shower head, and now it shoots a fire brigade style jet of rusty water, backwards, onto the shelf, knocking your shaving kit to the floor and staining your toothbrush. In desperation, you push every button and twist every dial, and grit your teeth and endure several contradictory unpleasant sensations simultaneously. You dry off inadequately with your condensation soaked towel, and shuffle back into the room. Your girlfriend, cheery and crisp, goes "oh finally" and goes in to enjoy a perfectly enjoyable 15 minute shower at the perfect temperature, pressure and height. While this happens, Mr. Chang informs you that he does not appreciate having his time wasted. You are me. Congratulations.

I love when there's a mirror across from the shower so I can see myself. It's only annoying when it's inexplicably low, like the one at my sister's new place, so you can see you entire body but not your face.

This is weird but There's this one person I talk to where no matter how much time goes by quietly, just doing or watching something mutually... The second I go to say something to them they cough or sneeze and obliterate the first few words. It's the worst because it's not their fault (I guess?) but it's extremely jarring, completely fucks with the extemporaneous, makes you forget what you were about to say half the time, and makes you think "seriously? Again?" I just don't understand, it's like their aural nerve detours through their sinus cavities before it reaches the brain or something. Normal conversation is fine, but it's those long moments of quiet followed by trying to say something.

YouTube won't stop changing audio volume. It'll be fine for a few videos in a row, then all of a sudden I get my eardrums blown. It's not just completely forgetting its settings and resetting to a default because it's a slightly different volume level every time it does it, but what it picks is always loud as poo poo. I can't just lower the volume system wide because YouTube is somehow three times louder than anything else that ever plays audio.

Netflix keeps forgetting to play the next episode. I'll go into the settings and hit save without changing anything and then it will be fine for a little while, until it forgets again and I have to watch the preview for You for the millionth time.

Speaking of netflix, what's the deal with the "watch that again" feature i've seen in a couple newer movies, where it will pop up after a scene they think you think is good and rewind you to the beginning of it? The worst was when it popped up after I fast forwarded through an overly-long karaoke scene. No, I was sure I didn't want to watch it the first time, thank you. Do people really watch movies like that, see a good scene and say "I need to see that again immediately" and rewind it? Who is using this feature? I mean I guess if you got up to go to the bathroom or whatever and missed it I could see using it, but that's what they make a pause button for.

This is happening to me too, and it only started recently. Dunno if there was an update or something but it sucks. Also, peeve: loving dog beaters. Yes, your dog will be submissive and docile if you hurt it. No, this isn’t the “natural” state of affairs in canine hierarchy. gently caress you.

People who don't understand how to be a good dog owner in general. No, you shouldn't be terrifying your dog into submission. The "alpha" thing is bullshit. Cesar Milan is bullshit. No, you shouldn't be leaving your dog outside most of the day because you don't give enough of a poo poo to interact with it. Why do you even have a dog? No, it's not "mean" to train it at all. It's cruel not to train your dog at all, because dogs appreciate having structure in their lives and interacting with their owners. And it's not loving cute when your dog is constantly begging for food, jumping on people, being destructive, etc.

95% of the people here buy a dog and then never interact with it again beyond leaving out a bowl of food for it sometimes while it wanders around as it pleases, tearing poo poo up and attacking people. Then they acted shocked and confused when it gets returned to their house with a bullet in it. What's the point of having dog licenses if they aren't going to be denied to people that through four new a dogs a year?

People who drop someone off at the grocery store, then just park and wait in front of the doors with their hazards on. There's a whole god drat lot full of spots right next to you! Use one of them and then go pull up to pick the person up when they come out. Also, you should only ever be dropping off people or loading up in front of the doors if you or the person you're dropping off has a disability.

Aggressively OK is a pretty good descriptor of it. It angered me because it's just "hey, these famous actors are old as poo poo now, here's a movie about them being old and not wanting to die". It's hard to feel many feelings about the characters dying because, well, they're really old, that's what they do. Also one is Chevy Chase.

Sat down briefly at an unused office cubicle at the school where I work. Taped to the abandoned monitor is the root name/password. Which is the same for every single computer in the building. If a student got that password and had any idea what to do with it, it'd be a loving disaster. Why does no one take security seriously?

DontMockMySmock posted:Sat down briefly at an unused office cubicle at the school where I work. Taped to the abandoned monitor is the root name/password. Which is the same for every single computer in the building. Because the majority of people just view computers as a magic box. Even the ones that have had accounts hijacked or whatever will usually know so little about PCs that they just see it as magical cyberwizards whisking away their account. As opposed to them using a common password, or one datamined from a database breach, etc. It's just so abstract for them, and they don't want to spend any more time or resources than they need understanding it. And then like a case in norway recently; the moment a student does reveal that 'holy poo poo the IT security here sucks and people could easily misuse it', the school will hunker down on trying to punish the people that expose their lax security. Instead of immediately trying to fix it. Hopefully in the future biometrics + multi-factor authentications can zero out a lot of these issues. Not having to trust an old with a password+login but instead something they can just have on their keychain + a pin/fingerprint scan will probably solve a lot of these 'problem between keyboard and chair' security issues.

Sometimes I wish I could write my login info down...i have to remember my username, a 16 character password that includes special characters and can't have more than 2 repeating characters in a row, and an 8 digit pin. It's a pain in the rear end. If I left it on my desk though i'd fully deserve to be fired and denied any form of clearance ever in my life. job specific peeve: I got hired a few weeks before the shutdown and had all my paperwork filled out before i was hired. I still haven't received my work laptop. How can you hire someone without having all their stuff ready, and more importantly, why would you want to? I am wasting their money every day I don't have a computer. I mean, I don't mind because I've gotten like 2 months of pay for doing basically nothing, but I feel like a part of the government waste that people including me hate so much. Don't start paying people until they can work.

speaking of work: people who intentionally work a late schedule and get mad at the people who come in early and leave early. I like to leave home at sunrise and get home before sunset. Driving in the dark blows especially on a snow day like today. Just because you like to waltz in just before lunch and stay until a normal person's time to go to sleep doesn't mean I should have to, unless you're my boss, which you're not.
