The human body in general is a pet peeve but I hate especially how I get loving sleepy after dinner. My rhythm is set to me waking up at 6:10 AM for work so I'm supposed to fall asleep at 10 or so, meaning I get sleepy at around 9 already even if I don't eat. My wife and I usually eat at 7 or 8 and have a few glasses of wine and watch something, after that my blood sugar levels plummet or something because I can simply not stay awake or even sit in a chair at that point. I get home, do a few chores and prepare for the next day, eat and fall asleep. It blows. I don't even have the energy to play games or gently caress. The next day I'm always wide awake at 6 though.

Tiggum posted:Is "vegetarian" not a standard option where you live? They've usually got capsicum, onion, olives, mushrooms and sometimes pineapple. In any case, a plain cheese pizza is a food crime. At least get a margherita or garlic pizza. You've got to have some flavour on there. I agree, there's nothing "normal" about a cheese pizza. Why get a pizza of nothing? Nobody is willing to order that because nobody is going to eat that. There are no "standard options" where I live (have to specify every ingredient every time, another peeve), but peppers, onions, olives, and mushrooms is exactly what I usually get.

I’m a bit late to pizza chat, but goats cheese on pizza is amazing with some red onion chutney on there too. I normally prefer meaty pizzas, but lately I’ve been opting for that instead. Here’s a pizza peeve: when I’m serving on the custom pizza counter at work and I get a pizza made up for someone, wrap it and label it and give it to the customer thinking I can get back to what I was doing before, only for it to turn out they want another one making. Tell me how many you want first so I can do them all in one go!

Short beds suck. I'm in the UK staying in AirBNB's temporarily, and they all have short beds so my feet stick out the far end unless I sleep with my head right at the headboard. I'm only 185 cm, tall but not very tall, why don't they just make every bed at least 2.20 or so to give people some margin?

Sesamestreet.com is a broken piece of poo poo. My daughter likes to play the games after her breakfast and practically every other day the site crashes or flash doesn't work or half the games say I don't have flash despite the other half working just fine... I literally spent like ten minutes in clearing cookies and cache and restarting, anything so my daughter can pretend to brush some monster teeth while she works up her morning poop. Even now it's throwing up error messages about the games "possibly having moved to another site" while she cries "broken!" This site is doing the opposite of what it was designed to do, it's making a child cry.

I've come to the conclusion that the podcast generation is aging into having children. I now get ads for 4 different parenting podcasts in my feed. I normally don't mind ads, but they're all trying way too hard to be fun and hip and being a parent is amazing and  I understand that I'm probably not who they're targeted for but, drat, I'm getting annoyed. The BBC is the worst offender, I listen to Witness every morning and for the past two weeks it starts with a 30 second ad for Parent Land, then it ends with another 30 second ad for Parent Land. Motherfuckers it's a 10 minute long history podcast, one ad is fine, two is ridiculous.

I was recently bingeing a podcast that covered a true story over 10 episodes. Each episode was about a half hour long, and each both began and finished with an ad for the Ron Burgundy podcast. With an ad for it in the middle as well. With it being at the start and end, I would hear the same ad back to back. I don't care if the Ron burgundy podcast is good or not. Being bombarded with those ads over and over turned me off of it forever.

For stuff self contained in an SWF file, you can save that and even if Flash disappears from modern operating systems completely it'll always be possible to install an old browser in a virtual machine or something. For more complex stuff that pulls in external data from a server somewhere, I don't think anyone really has a plan made.

Some goons hate David Cummings, but I really like how on the nosleep podcast instead of ads or endless hawking patreon/merch/dtc you just chuck twenty bucks at him twice a year or so and get the podcast. 20 bucks for 25 two hour episodes and seasonal bonus ones is well worth it considering how much time I spend on other podcasts hearing about underwear and mattreses.

When I have déjà vu, I tend to announce its occurrence out loud. It's a habit I've had since as long as I can remember even having déjà vu. When I do, if there are other people around, someone will inevitably ask "Why?" gently caress, that annoys me. I don't know. No one knows. You've just asked a question that has plagued humanity for hundreds of thousands of years. Sometimes, someone will ask "About what?" About this exact moment, you drooling mouth-breather! In the future, if you see someone suddenly stop and look around, then say "déjà vu," shut up and let that person enjoy this particular mystery of the mind.

Maybe they're asking why you don't shut up about your deja vu? I totally get the frustration with people not being able to read you mind though. They should definitely understand that it's the situation in general and not the black cat you saw in the hallway or whatever, that really sucks man.

It doesn't happen nearly often enough to make it an annoying problem, so I highly doubt they're telling me to shut up about it. Perhaps they're simply trying to form a conversation? Maybe I'm being too hard on them? I will have to think more about this. Probably not now, because I have a hamburger to eat, but eventually. If I remember.

I wish more podcasts would have the option to get an ad-less feed in exchange for some support, honestly. With all the various patreon-based podcasts you get a private feed you just slap into your podcast listener of choice, and I wish it was more common. Podcasts are usually hosted by larger networks, with them managing distribution + ad insertion, so it's weird that they don't offer this kind of stuff. Surely the revenue would be worth it, any podcast of note is likely going to have a lot of longtime listeners willing to chuck in some cash.

Office managers are incapable of choosing appropriate pizza for pizza lunch. They always go 50% cheese 25% pepperoni 25% weirdass veggie pizza It should be 35% pepperoni 35% supreme (sausage and like 2-3 random veggies) 20% cheese 10% veggie

LOL if you consider veggie pizza a health food. My pizza peeve is when pizza ends up so overloaded with toppings that it becomes a sloppy mess. I don't mind a little grease or whatever, but pizza does not need ALL the meats, just pick one or two. Same with veggies, just a couple options are fine, but if there are a ton it's even worse and will sometimes have water cook out and just make everything sloppy and it never reheats as well with the crust all waterlogged.

Inspector 34 posted:LOL if you consider veggie pizza a health food. Agreed 100% My pizza pet peeve is that when someone is ordering pizza for a group, they spend hours asking everyone what toppings they want. “Ok so Bob wants ham, ground beef, and onions, but Sheila doesn’t want onions- can we do half with and half without? Larry wants veggie supreme gluten free and Amanda wants double mushroom-“ gently caress. Just get some pepperoni, some cheese, and some veggie. It’s free loving pizza.

People who don't eat their crusts. So hard to share with them because they're snarfing down their 5th slice while I'm still gnawing on my breadstick The lady and I do a lot of Cooking for Exactly Two. Her first plate is also absolutely ridiculously tiny (sub 100 calories for sure) and I scoop the remaining 95% of the food onto my plate because I assume she took half. "I was gonna get more after you" DAMMIT woman just take half to begin with, I'm getting fat and you're mad at me for eating all the food

Sorry but that's on you. Take how much you want, not how much is left. If you're eating 95% of two portions, that's too much food. You're getting fat because of too much food, not because the other person is portioning it out. Just because it says cooking for two doesn't mean you can't have leftovers despite splitting it between two people every single time. Like I've been able to down an entire large pizza, but sometimes I only want one or two slices. "It's there" doesn't equate to "gotta eat it, right now". e: also pizza crust is trash in most chain pizzas. If it's a thin crunchy crust, sure, but if it's the super doughy standard at pizza hut (excluding stuffed crust) or dominos etc, it's poo poo. Why "gnaw on a breadstick" if you don't want to? It's dry and chewy, i want to eat some pizza. If you're so mad about people stealing "your" slices, then order more pizza or be that "slow eater but also wants to make sure they get their share" guy who piles like 5-6 slices on a single plate.

sometimes people like to go back for seconds. If they took that much it is still very weird to say "well i guess that's all they're eating, i won't even ask, i'm just going to shovel it down they are obviously done".

It would be very weird if I said or thought those things, yes. Are you usually using all 1,000 of your IQ points when you're splitting a meal and serving up second? You can't imagine a universe where someone would scoop up whatever's left on autopilot?
