People who think weed isn't a drug or substance or whatever you want to call it.

I give 0 shits about people consuming whatever drugs they want, unless it's killing them, but if you smoke every loving day all day and are constantly either high or wanting to smoke then guess what you're an addict, and also very boring because I like doing things with friends besides smoking

This is interesting! Are there any papers or articles on it?

Not that I can currently link from work but it is totally a thing. To me it's pretty noticeable in people who don't have regional accents. Like I'm from the southwest living in the east and among generic-sounding people I can absolutely tell who's from here and who's from closer to home. Vocal fry, like, things?

It's fine in this context and this time period but once every rube starts using it constantly I hate it. I just really hate cliched language, especially if it's common in advertising like "sorted" is now. Same reason I hate "is a thing" really.

I have an engineer that ends instructions with "sounds good." It's not "sound good?," or "sounds good!," it's "soundsgood."

I had a teacher that ended two thirds of her sentences by tacking on the word "quick" and wouldn't believe that she was doing it until somebody recorded it.

Judging by what other people love to do you should call all animals whatever sex your animals at home are. If a person has a female dog they call most every dog a her by accident. Not that they should be doing that but it does seem to happen a lot. The dogs don't care, they're just happy to be included in the conversation.

I admit to doing this with cats - defaulting to "she" but both my cats are female.

Hell, I call my cat a good puppy because I had only dogs for 40 years of my life and only had a cat for the last two. He doesn't care.

One of my ears is janked up and I probably only have 20% hearing in it, so every goddamn social situation I'm in ends up with a super quiet talker who wants to talk to me on my bad side, and the loudest conversation in the world happening on my good side so I cant hear poo poo. Also people get offended by me constantly asking them to repeat themselves but not enough to actually speak any louder or to actually acknowledge me saying "I CAN'T loving HEAR FROM THIS SIDE IF I WAS IGNORING YOU I WOULDNT ASK YOU TO REPEAT YOURSELF YOU SOCIAL BURDEN"

When people use stress as an excuse to treat people in their general vicinity like poo poo. Once you recognize it it's on you to calm the gently caress down or find a way to relieve the stress in a way that does not inconvenience people who have nothing to do with your problems. I have so far managed to do so without receiving a medal. You don't have to be superman, but there has got to be limits for how much of a douche you can be to strangers because you had a bad day.

Your life and your quest end here.


Public Transport Victoria's useless app, and the screens at bus and tram stops. They just don't give accurate information. Or even consistent information. I don't know how or why, but somehow the app and the screen can give completely different departure times and then the tram or bus shows up at some other random time anyway. And the printed timetables are just some kind of optimistic hypothetical.

Like I realize my personality isn't unique but that poo poo is embarrassing and annoying. Decouple your personal and professional relationships from the media you consume, please.

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.

Could be worse; a couple people have told me I'm like Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory. I think it's mostly because I'm basically the only science nerd they've ever met and I know about astronomy and stuff, but it makes me think holy poo poo, you just laid a scathing insult on me with a smile on your face, what is wrong with you??

No we do not have a meatball sub. No we do not have a cheese steak. No we cannot toast our bread. Yes there is only the one kind of cheese.

Your dumb asses should be glad I still deliver past midnight instead of yelling at me for not having your specific sort of sandwich that we are not advertising and never claimed to make

During the last Australian election mining billionaire Clive Palmer and his political party United Australia Party carried out a media blitz. He bombarded the entire country with his ads in every medium. They were everywhere, you couldn't switch on a TV, read a paper, walk down a street or watch a youtube video without seeing one of his ads. He spent AU$60 million and didn't win a single seat.
I was blocking his ads every single day for a couple of months on youtube because every time you blocked one a new one would appear.
I loving hate Clive Palmer and put him last on my voting preferences which is quite an achievement when nazi Fraser Anning and racist Pauline Hanson were on the ballot too (They were the bottom 3 out of 40+ candidates).
