Edgar Allen Ho posted:Cats that don’t get socialized, raised, or otherwise treated like a pet. They’re standoffish weirdos by nature, but they get along with humans with a bare minimum of effort and why the gently caress would you own one if you don’t like or want a cat and the responsibilities it brings? They’re less high-maintenance than dogs but if you want a pretty decoration get a loving corn snake. Tell him I love him

Cats that seem to know I am allergic to them and become overly friendly are my sort-of peeve. Not only do they make me sneeze 30 times a minute, when you give in and pet them they show you the rear end. I'm making a sacrifice here, is that really necessary?

In perfect posting harmony, Prince Prettyboy scractched a gnarly wound in my lower arm today as I tried to feed him. It’s bad enough to get 911 called but I’m fine. I hate Prince Prettyboy more than ever. Also the scar will definitely look like I tried to commit suicide

I've got a couple of friends that I group chat with all the time and they have the weirdest loving texting style. Like I'll send a hilarious animated gif and they'll say, "Laughed at an image." Or maybe I'll say something, like, "That was a good movie" and one of them will respond, "Emphasized 'that was a good movie'." Or sometimes it's not emphasizing, it's liking or disliking or whatever. I assume it's an automated thing, but it's weird and I don't like it. Just say haha or LOL, christ. I've never seen anyone else do this. This is a peeve because I'm the old fart in the group, isn't it.  ETA Oooh ooh one of these people also constantly sends pictures of her chat logs. I love her to death but I also hate this. At least there's usually some joke that somebody made that she wanted to share, but she just sent a super long one that's her and another friend talking about whatever and I have no idea what I'm supposed to be getting out of this, aagggh artsy fartsy has a new favorite as of 00:07 on Feb 16, 2019 |

It bothers the crap out of me when I get pizza and the cheese has just melted enough together that pulling off a slice results in a handful of crust and a pile of cheese on the box.

as a phone user with a terminal case of owning Android phones I'm pretty sure the iPhone messaging app has features beyond standard SMS and that's what gets sent to anyone not in the exclusive walled garden of liking text messages Apple has built

E: lol, yeah ^^^ that On an iPhone, if you double tap or long-press a message, you get a pop up with about six canned replies. If you choose one, it’ll show a bubble with your reply if the other person is using a newish iPhone. If not, it “translates” it. What (almost certainly) happened to artsy fartsy is they sent an image, the other person long-pressed and chose the “Ha Ha” icon, and it sent “laughed at an image”.

People "above" you at work who don't dismiss you when they are done with you. At least wave your hand toward the door, I don't care how insulting it is, just tell me somehow that I am free to leave, otherwise I'm going to keep standing there. I've tried guessing when it's OK to leave before and it never ends well. I'm always wrong. I need the formal get out of here treatment.

I'm honestly amazed at the number of people that still send SMS' with a different experience depending on platform. I only ever SMS my mother-in-law, and message everyone else on Signal, which is the same on everything.

Inspector 34 posted:The gently caress is Signal? It's an open source messaging app. It has Android, iOS, windows, Mac and Linux versions that all work essentially the same. My friends and I looked into a bunch of them and decided on it for infosec reasons I don't really understand, but people I trust do.

Interesting, I doubt I can get many friends to jump on it but it might be good for staff messaging if it allows us to text each other without sharing phone numbers.

That's actually its #1 issue - your identity on it is tied to a cell number. Being able to have an email-based account has been their top request for more than a year now. It doesn't affect me because I'm only texting friends and family. Have you checked out Slack? I'm on that for work and professional groups, might be what you're after?

I use signal as my sms app because the default one suddenly stopped giving me notifications and only one of my friends also has it so for him I need to be on wifi or nothing ever sends or receives, because when you both have signal it encrypts your messages. Actually slightly annoying because I don't have data but as a normal sms app it's fairly nice. I miss putting custom backgrounds in my conversations though. Maybe I'll start a fork of signal just for that

This is only funny to me because I'm picturing someone like, chilling at a diner having a burger while some nearby folks chat and then when one of them mentions Signal in passing they get the above response. All jumping up from the counter spilling a drink and startling the waitress, Kramering over agitated about an app

Region protections. I still use a physical bluray/dvd rental plan with netflix and most of the things I get work, but the movie I got today came up with a big "this can only be played on Region A players" or whatever. I did buy my PS4 in europe but I'm using it in the US, i'm a US citizen, what's the point in not letting your stuff play? Region protection should work based on your internet connection location, not where the player was made. You could say "well you could just use a VPN then", but as I found out when I couldn't VPN to other countries with better netflix content anymore, they are pretty good already at blocking those. I just want to watch the movie I paid for.

The point is making you buy a new DVD player and/or replace a bunch of your old DVDs. Well, the main point is preventing people from importing DVDs from other countries where they're cheaper and/or came out earlier, but making people re-buy stuff is a nice bonus.

Warhammer poo poo has the insanest regional pricing of all and the dumbest part is that since it’s all plastic toys there’s no way to region-lock it. If you’re not british or north american afaik it’s cheaper to pick whichever is closer and just pay the exorbitant shipping to buy direct from the US/UK.

People in crowded parking lots that hold everyone up because they want to back in to a spot instead of parking like a normal person. Especially if they suck at it and have to do like 10 forward/reverse switches. I don't even get it. I guess it's slightly easier to pull out? But you spent like 10 times as long parking so what's the benefit in the end?
