There was one point I couldn't figure out why the detergent hatch kept failing to open, the problem was so random that I could not tell what was failing... Turns out I have one pan that would push up against the little hatch and hold it closed, resulting in just a tiny bit of water getting in to gently caress up the detergent but not release it. Drove me nuts for like a dozen or so washes.

The people living above me seriously need to oil the hinges on one of their doors. I can hear it squeeking constantly at night.

If so those are the most ponderous thrusts in the history of sexhaving with each squeek somehow lasting a full 30 seconds often with more than a minute between them.

i hate working opening shifts because even though we don't open until 9, we have to be there at 6 to unload the truck and stock the shelves, and that means i have to be awake at loving 4:45 in the goddamn morning

when your computer beeps out of nowhere. i'm just using the pc as always and for a while itll kind of slow down and i can hear the fans run a bit faster and then itll stop with a windows beep sound, i think its some dumb program updating itself in the background or failing to for some reason, but since it doesnt give me a dialogue box i dont know what it is and im too lazy to find out.

related: the loss of windows dialogue boxes that dont just say OK and CANCEL but instead just have a single button that says "got it", i don't think there's a more dystopian phrase than "got it". also the loss of basic HTML based internet so the browser's back button takes you back much further than you actually want because the new page you opened is just another CSS frame or whatever

Also the mobile-ization of the internet meaning increasing amounts of design decisions that annoy you if you're browsing on desktop. I don't need the top bar of the site to follow me down as I scroll. I'm not going to be confused and alarmed if I have to scroll back up/hit the home key to get to whatever links are up there. I especially don't need your stupid loving autoplay video to follow me down after I've already rushed to pause it. I don't need your site's articles turning into an infinite scroll instead of the page being allowed to just end, either. At this point adblock is for squashing dumb page elements as much as it is for blocking ads. Haifisch has a new favorite as of 22:43 on May 16, 2020 |

A site I recently encountered demanded a captcha (that new stupid one where you rotate an image.), but the captcha itself was set up so that it wouldn't show if you had adblock running.  Honestly it just gets worse and worse and worse. And seemingly browsers seem to do the same. Checking out Brave or something is insanely tempting, considering how utterly bloated and slow Chrome is. (Why, 5 separate instances of adblock running, each using 300-500MB ram? Why Chrome, it's not even my birthday, you shouldn't have.) I remember back when I first started using Chrome it was because it was so much lighter and faster than Firefox was at the time. Now every time I open it it seems like there's some new, arbitrary change -somewhere- implemented.

I mean, individual dogs I meet I can get on with just fine, but collectively they're just awful. They bark, they smell, they have the potential to ruin any country walk by jumping up on you and covering you with mud. You also have that moment of first coming across one by itself in the woods. It stops. It stares. It barks. Its tail's not wagging. It's an impasse. You have your toddler with you, who in general you're pretty attached to and you prefer it unmaulled. Then its owner appears to scoffingly tell you that he's FINE he's just SHY. Or alternatively, to shout angrily at the dog and grab its collar. Which makes you wonder what could have happened if he hadn't turned up in time, or the dog was in a less reserved mood. In short, gently caress dogs (plz don't gently caress dogs).

One time my dog accidently jumped onto a guy who was taking pictures of birds, while she was chasing said birds. The photographer kicked my dog, and she ran back to me because she's a wimp. I yelled at the guy, and he glared at me, and I did nothing because I'm also a wimp. Long story short, dogs are cool and chill and I've never met one I didn't like.

Years ago my husband was riding his bike around a parkland in the city we lived in. He was riding past a car and a woman opened the rear door of the car and an unleashed dog jumped out, immediately chased after my husband and ‘caught’ him by clamping on his leg. The woman retrieved her dog and bundled it back into the car and drove off before my husband could even say or do anything other than swearing profusely and bleeding on the floor. He still has a scar to this day, so gently caress that woman and her untrained dog.

Use Firefox, install Ublock Origin, Privacy Possum and Decentraleyes, go to about :config and change "privacy.firstparty.isolate" to true and "privacy.firstparty.isolate.restrict_opener_access" to false (the first one restricts all site resources and cookies etc. to only be visible to the originating domain itself and not to other sites, and the second one loosens the leash a little bit to allow cross-domain login flows). All of these are basically set and forget. If you want to go even further, I can also recommend Cookie Autodelete and ClearURLs, but they are likely to break sites.

Kickin a man's dog when the dog wasn't being aggressive is a dick move anyway. I doubt this wildlife photography expert would kick a person if they scared away his birds. edit: He may kick them if they jumped on him though but humans generally don't do that to my knowledge

I guess it partially depends on how familiar with dog behaviour the person is - if you don't know much about dogs in general, it can be scary to have one coming bounding after you apropos of nothing, you might not know whether it's being playful or whether you've in some way pissed it off. If you panic you might get more aggressive than you need to.

I love that feature on Prime when you can pause what you're watching and it shows you the names of the cast who are on screen, and sometimes the name of the music that's playing. It's absolute witchcraft, but it's great. However, I keep on trying to use it on Netflix or iPlayer or whatever out of habit, then feel minor annoyance that other services don't have it. This is why enhanced functionality, convenience or luxury is ultimately terrible for humankind.
