Me crush ass to dust

There are sites that refuse to let you create complicated passwords. Why am I not allowed to use every key available on my keyboard? And why am I limited to 14 characters when all my passwords are usually over 30.

relatedly, a site's password requirements should be listed where you log in. if i know you require a capital letter and a number I'm much more likely to remember my password

I can't count the number of times I've clicked the "reset password" button, seen the site's password requirements, and then remembered what my old password was.

I hate complicated password requirements for poo poo that I don't care about security for. Like I don't care if someone finds out that my password for an account on a flash game website is something simple and guessable, let them log in and steal my score, I don't give a gently caress as long as I can have an easy password or even just type in my username and go.

I have a friend whose favorite color is yellow.

Nobody's favorite color is yellow. Your favorite color should be blue, red, pink, purple, even green or black or white if you're kind of a weirdo. But not a bland banana color like yellow. He's trying to be an rear end in a top hat by having yellow as his favorite color.

same, but not lime green. Forest green = best green.

I definitely agree about yellow though. In grad school someone thought using bright yellow text on their powerpoint presentation was a good idea. I could read it but it wasn't pleasant.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.
Favorite colors are my peeve. They're for young children. If your aesthetic sensibilities are so loving childish that you actually think one subsection of the color wheel is somehow superior to all other sections, jesus, grow up.

I think that when most people say "my favorite color is blue" they really mean "when I was seven years old, I kinda liked blue, and everyone had to pick a favorite color because that was a thing grown ups ask you, and I haven't reexamined that decision since."

It only becomes as dumb as you seem to think when people think their favorite color means anything. Having a preference doesn't mean you think it's "superior", it just means it pleases you to look at it more than other ones. If you go full breaking bad and have your entire house and wardrobe be predominantly purple or whatever, then yes it's silly, but if you pick a green couch instead of a gray one because you like the color better, what's the big deal?

I hate when I am on the treadmill at the gym and my leg itches early in the run. I have to try to stoop down mid-run to scratch the calf briefly on a pass, interrupt the workout by pausing the treadmill which throws off my rhythm, or try to scratch by rubbing the top of the other shoe over the itchy patch for a brief scratch.

Itches are interesting though because it seems like it's your nerves thinking that there is a sensation where there isn't one, so scratching it makes the sensation that it thought was there and stops the feeling. It's like you're rebooting the nerve cluster.

Please stop attacking me

Seriously, I've been getting asked since I was a kid what my favorite color was when I really didn't care so ended up just picking one and sticking with it into adulthood.

I picked blue.

In Windows 10, sometimes you can press the space bar and it will let you put in your password at startup, and sometimes it requires you to press your mouse button. What's the difference between these two states? gently caress knows, but if you've turned your computer on and the screens are still warming up, you can bet that pressing space bar and then entering your password will guarantee that nothing will happen and you need to press a mouse button.

"Orange is just a shade of red so your favorite color is actually red."

One of my earliest clear memories is a teacher from pre-school telling me that my favorite color doesn't exist.

I love how people who argue technicalities inevitably do so by using defined terms incorrectly.

A "shade" of red would be red hue darkened with black, opposed to a tint which uses white. Orange is red and yellow mixed together, which is literally how you make a secondary color, so saying a secondary color "is not a color" makes one look like a capital dipshit.

Thus, you win, and have won by default forever.
