Yeah, but you do have to engage with them a bit to figure that out or not. I've known a guy and two who chilled the gently caress out the moment they realized they don't need to be hyper-social to stay in touch with me. Sometimes it's just people testing the waters, or thinking they need to be hyper-proactive in case -you- are one of the needy, demanding people. And then it's also annoying to meet someone interesting, but then their attention demands just turn you right off after a bit. Also, do podcasts just add random amounts of dead air at the end to throw off people setting up auto-skip to skip ads? It could just be the people editing it forgetting and accidentally including up to a minute of dead air at the end of a 30-60 min podcast, but it could also just be them blatantly trying to circumvent people using features like 'skip first XX sec, skip final XX sec.' on their podcast players. Unsurprisingly, said podcast now also includes an ad in the middle as well, which I'm not sure it used to have. (And of course, constant duplicate ads because of there only being 2-3 active ads at any point in my region it feels like.) I really wish there was a standard thing where I could just chip in 1-5 dollars a month towards these giant, popular podcasts that run ads, but don't have any kind of patreon-y structure. (That said, there's a super blatant difference between 'get this podcast ad-free' and 'support this podcast you like on patreon'. I'm not ready to slap down 5-10bux on -every- podcast I listen to.)

Similarly, the epic game store free game notification can pop up at bad times and it doesnt go away. It just hovers until I clear it which is annoying if I’m couch gaming with a gamepad

Men's rings suck rear end anyway. I don't want to wear the one ring in its cool state. If I get married and get a ring, gimme something ethically-sourced and fancy.

fizzymercury posted:Dude I did this. It wasn't drag queens, but a really mean guy at work made fun of my engagement ring that I wear on a necklace and kept busting my chops about it until I cried in the walk-in over it. He called it a "huge dorky disney princess ring" and it really hurt my feelings because that's exactly why I picked it out. Your ring sounds great. At a bar I used to work at, my coworker lost her ring in the ice drawer and got upset, and the very drunk manager who wanted her to just DO JOB threw a pint glass in. I have a cool scar on my hand from me digging with another coworker to get the ring out before we dumped the ice and glass. Edgar Allen Ho has a new favorite as of 22:50 on Jul 12, 2021 |

I just did a clean reinstall on my computer after years of cumulative updates. A whole lot of stuff is working way better, but now I've got to spend the next month or so stumbling over all the little things not working quite how I expect them to because of settings and customisations that I don't even remember making.

The apple podcast app has gotten so loving bad, every update for a decade making it worse. The new update is the tipping point for me making the obvious and way overdue switch to another app. It now defaults to swapping to the next podcast episode of any podcast you are subscribed to. Maybe this is great for the people that listen to lovely talk radio type podcasts. But I listen to mostly things like serial fiction, history podcasts, reread/rewatch stuff, all things where you variously obviously want to listen from episode 1 on, and want to listen to the next episode of the thing you're on if your listening time consumes a full episode. It also has your library, by default, organized by last updated podcast, instead of just loving alphabetical. These are mostly all settings you can change but it's become so increasingly worse.

Every time my Chromebook updates I get a whitescreen of death and have to spend the whole day waiting for the battery to die so I can do a hard restart and get to work. If it does it again I'll probably just throw it in the garbage and set that on fire then pour the ashes into a small rocket and fire that into space. I paid $190 whole dollars for you 5 years ago, STOP MAKING ME SAD.

It just comes on with a white screen an hangs out until the battery finally dies and I can force it to start up with the power cord. I have tried every. single. other way to fix it and nothing. You only have 3 more years to suffer before it hits EOL anyways. The darn things only get eight years worth of updates before you need to replace them.

No contact delivery is cool but you would think that after 16 months the delivery person would figure out to not put my food down directly in front of my outward opening screen door. Especially if they open it first to knock on my actual door. Especially if they open it first, walk the 4 feet across my small porch, knock on my front door, take the food with them back across my porch and out the screen door, let the screen door fully close, and then put it directly in front of the now closed screen door.

Surely that $5 is the "import fees deposit" - it's coming from another country. Amazon started doing this a while ago, selling stuff on marketplaces on behalf of a vendor in another country, and the "pre-paying import duty" came in later.
