Yeah in Korea they want white people teaching English. If you're Asian then gently caress off basically.

Youtube's policy of seemingly not letting you play their videos with the screen of your phone off, or without the video stream, so that you can't just use it as a podcast or music player, is really annoying and petty. I just want to listen to some music or a person talking. I don't have to see the clip or watch their face.

That's deliberate. I can do it, because I have a family subscription to Google Play Music, which comes with free YouTube Red.

I guess it has ads now, but it’s been that way forever. I’m kinda surprised that they let it play in a tab you’re not viewing.

I see "podcasts" on Youtube now where there is no way to subscribe with a podcast app. It's just a video of a bunch of people sitting at a desk and talking about movies. You have to watch it on YouTube because that's how they get ad money. Then don't loving call it a podcast if i can't use my podcast app.

I'd been using a variety of apps but usually they still require you to keep the screen active, they just let you use other apps while the video plays in the background at least, but that's still not ideal.

Old rpgs where, too often, the challenge is “die miserably once or twice to find the gimmick, then counter it” Let me just play out the badass fantasy, or maybe come up with enough different enemies and situations that “RANDOM CRAP FROM NOWHERE, betcha wish you planned two levels ago?”isn’t the main challenge. Like in this game I’m apparently in the “every encounter has two enemies with stunlock spells” phase. Creative strategy should take place over the game, not “you die, then easily counter what happened and move on”

That's why I play games on their easiest difficulty. Sure, I'm not as teh hardc0rez as others, but I've never claimed to be good at video games, and something like Divinity: Original Sin II (the last single-player game I've finished) is super good fun on easy. When you don't figure out the thing that beats an encounter, it's a bit harder, when you do, everything blows up enjoyably.

When I'm serving on the pizza counter at work and the customer gets fussy/pissy about having the toppings spread out more because one: I already make an effort to spread them out a little so it's hardly like they're all bunched up in the centre, and two: you have hands! You can do it yourself when you get home! We don't cook the pizzas and the toppings aren't welded on, you're more than capable of re-arranging them yourself into the shape of a dick or whatever in the privacy of your own home I've thankfully not encountered her yet, but apparently we have a recurring customer who's so anal about it that she's been known to lean over the glass and move the toppings around herself while the pizza is being made, which is like the polar opposite of the previous peeve

Any customer who does not respect the sanctity of the glass is a sociopath. A single gesture suggests: believing oneself to have superior knowledge of another's job; disrespect of another's workplace; disregard to the health of others; disregard for public boundaries; the desire to exert control but still demand another perform the overall task; and many, many more bullshit classics you won't see in collections available at stores. Call now, our operators are standing by to berate your callousness.

Didn't they already do that not too long ago? Or are you talking about the site? Also Pocket Casts on my tablet has started streaming incorrect chunks sometimes, so in the middle of a podcast it might suddenly start streaming in audio from other ones. Not sure if it's just grabbing various ones from the same network, or from random other podcasts I've subscribed to, but it's annoying whenever it happens.

Move settings into a small icon inside the profile tab, oh yeah terrible design just gets me OFF. Well this is utter trash. And I guess I might start looking for a different player, though losing sync/progress is probably going to suck. e: Or maybe just start using it through the web browser on my tablet instead, maybe.

My Shield TV android box used to have a small tab for 'hey there's a new update! Want to update?' and had a prompt whenever the device was turned on with a cold boot. Now it does it every single time it wakes up from sleep.

This week I've been peeved by error messages. One said "Oops, something went wrong!" the other said something like "We can't get you online right now but, fear not, we've got a gang of magic unicorns working away to fix it!" I'm not sure what annoys me more. The uselessness of the message is pretty annoying. While I have no idea what "Error 0x12345678" or "Overflow in the KernelBase" or whatever means, at least I can type it into google and see if someone says how to fix it in plain language (assuming they haven't made a 17-minute YouTube video with 16m30s of vlogging filler for what would be a five-step, 300-word written guide...). Or is the infantilisation which seems to be creeping into more and more of daily life worse? "Something went wrong" is more friendly than "Your computer has performed an illegal operation", but why does it need to be dressed up in a load of curated epic-bacon-monkey-cheese 'quirky nerdiness'?

I've complained about this a couple times. I hate it because it seems like it's a catch-all to obscure bad programming. Like you say it's not like we can do anything to fix it, but it's still nice to know how serious the fuckup is. Everything from "your internet connect was unstable for a second" to "we just hosed the main code up and have everyone working on it, estimated time to fix: 1 hour - 7 days" is just lumped together as "teehee the pesky pixies are at it again! oopsie!".

People who second guess me and tell me how they would have handled a situation so much better than me. Me: "I was in Speedway last night when it got robbed by a guy with a gun." Person: "What did you do?" Me: "Kept my hands where he could see them and didn't move." Person: "Man, I would have grabbed something and threw it at him, then when he was distracted kicked him in the balls and grabbed his gun." Me:  Me in my head: "No, you would have simultaneously pissed and poo poo your pants, then fell on the floor in a sobbing heap until your mommy came and picked you up."

Also kind of weirdly obsessive about their interests, but eh. Certainly no worse than foot fetishists or people who like muscular women. In the grand scheme of things, that's extremely mild. Some of them are legitimately talented artists, and I wonder why they aren't doing more mainstream things. Or maybe they are, I dunno. KozmoNaut has a new favorite as of 15:46 on Mar 8, 2019 |

North European and Anglosaxon cultures and their conservative food cultures. Most restaurants suck. Most stuff in the supermarkets sucks. There are dishes from various cultures available but they're almost invariably filtered through some Jamie Oliver-type shithead's idea of what the dish should be like. Everything is dumbed down and boring. Things with three chilies on them are not actually spicy and if you order them the clerk has to give you a warning because white people have sugar-coated tongues and can't eat anything. There are of course good restaurants but they're usually expensive michelin type affairs or aimed towards a specific ethnicity (e.g. Indian) and while those are great, the general public consists of awful picky eaters who won't try anything new and expect things to be adapted to them. People making weird faces when you tell them you enjoy tripe or insects or even fruit they've never heard of. Sushi restaurants that advertise with a sign that says "we don't just serve raw fish!" even though sushi is, by definition, raw fish. Shibawanko has a new favorite as of 18:07 on Mar 8, 2019 |
