In either case, I have to ask the question a second loving time, you know, once everyone has finished applauding. On the flip side, when someone asks a question that could have been a yes/no question, but goes out of their way to phrase is so that it's not. "Do we still have some beer left, or did we run out?"

Small little stupid jokes like "I guess it is free" is a way for people to connect. it is a social grooming behavior that says "I like you and we are all in this boat together". people bitching about it is part of the overall trend towards misanthropy that the internet encourages. reject anomie and embrace life.

Counterpoint: Answering “Sex” with “yes” and then laughing at your own joke for ten minutes like a child makes you a unfunny time wasting dickhead Gary.

I care if they crack the same unfunny joke I've heard every single goddamn day.

I swear down I once had someone try to make light and joke when I was trying to work out if his elderly dad had had a transient ischaemic attack (mini stoke). "Did you notice if he's had trouble doing up the top button on his shirt recently?" "He's always had a fat neck ha ha ha" "Riight and does this mean he can never do his top button up or are you "having a laugh" sir?" gently caress off Gary.

On my non-dominant arm, I've gotten a fracture at the elbow and a torn ligament in that thumb (not at the same time). Non-dominant arms/hands don't get enough credit, nor does that evolutionary miracle, the opposable thumb.

Just a thought but I think if your approach to parking at a gas station with a small parking lot is "its okay, I'll only be a moment, I can invent a new parking spot that inconveniences everybody else" then my approach to your vehicle should be "two stabs on each tire, one on the sidewall and one on the treads" I am so tired of being stuck in parking spaces or gas pumps because some dumbass parked with their headlights literally shining into the front door of a gas station (parked at a 45 degree angle, naturally, for a faster exit). It's a tiny-rear end gas station parking lot in a small town, Gerald! Just loving park toward the side of the building where there are lines painted on the ground!

The way that Steam will let you schedule updates for times when you're not using your computer, but will check for updates any time and stop you from playing games that have updates available. The game that I was playing just fine yesterday has an patch out this morning, so suddenly I can't possibly play it until I install that update, which you've helpfully scheduled for 2am tonight? OK, I can tell you to just download it right away, but (depending on my internet speed and the download size) that could take a while. Why can't I just play the loving game right now?

Pretty sure if you switch to offline mode you can skip that if you've gotta play Right Now Can maybe go back online for Steam stuff once the game is running but that may require restarting Steam and thus kick you out of the game, but if you've gotta Play Right Now... stringless has a new favorite as of 04:29 on Mar 22, 2022 |

FFT posted:You never realize how often you use your non-dominant arm until you sprain that elbow. Even weirder, you don't realize how much you use your non-dominant pinky. It's a finger you never think about ever unless you play an instrument. I f'd up my left pinky bad when I was in HS. Like dislocated it sideways and had to put it back. All of a sudden, I discovered that I used if everything. Apparently I used it to pick up pencils, carry notebooks, hand people tools, scratch my balls, etc. It was ridiculous. I remember having to pick up my notebook then I screamed in agony and dropped the notebook. Turns out I always picked up my notebook with my left hand with heavy pinky action. Very weird.

Sometime in the last couple weeks, Twitter made the genius move to change the volume options on videos to the following: max volume or muted. No option to turn the poo poo down if you want to if you're using an Internet browser. It seems such lofty options as "volume adjustment" are now relegated solely to the cell phone app. gently caress YOU TWITTER. I ain't using your lovely mobile app. If your aim is to annoy me into using it, well it ain't gonna work. gently caress YOU. I hope you step on a Lego.

On Grindr you can freely change your username, and a lot of people have blank usernames. A bunch of guys tend to go through periods where they'll go from having usernames and icons to blanking it out. (because the probably don't want further attention, I guess?) That's fine, but it makes them hard to remember because suddenly they're one of dozens of blank icons without names in your chat history unless you obsessively block/delete chats. I've had a couple guys annoyedly message me for ignoring them, when I genuinely just lost track of where their chat was because it slid down the history and they removed their name + icon without me noticing at some point. You're partially responsible here, too, my dude. Especially since just popping onto the app to answer a message on a weekday, at any time, usually ends up having a couple no-username people firing off messages, pushing everything else in the history down.

Boomers who use the disabled toilets, instead of the men's room, as their own personal poo poo palace. you stand there outside waiting for ages, but you don't want to say anything because it could be an actually disabled person, but nope here he is again, the boomer dude who stomps out past you aggressively challenging you to say anything with a big smirk on his face and yup, he's blocked the toilet and it stinks in there. Thanks fucker.

Probably a minor one, but... In my area we get these dumbass Cox cable commercials on TV & radio. Most recently was one where Cox talked about being able to "turn off wifi" - the example they used was some guy who paused wifi because he saw a bug that looked like a piece of dust crawling across the coffee table. Excuse me, but why the gently caress would ANYONE turn off wifi because of a goddamn insect crawling anywhere? Of course the strong, independent, non-scared wife comes in & smacks the bug for her weak, frail husband before turning the wifi back on. What in the everloving poo poo is the point of ANY of that? If nothing else, it makes me glad I get my service from another less idiotic, clueless company who doesn't treat their customers like mental handicaps. It's the dumbest poo poo I've ever seen or heard since Trump was president.

The the oven I have now has the control knob match up the temperature setting with the degrees of the circle. So if you want to set the oven to 180 °C then you turn the knob 180°. Which is such an obviously great design that I'm annoyed not every oven is using it and that it's taken this long for me to encounter it.

There's a bunch of cats in the neighborhood I moved to, which was pretty neat when I moved here. They'd chill and check out what you're doing, get some pets etc. One of them followed the kids around at Halloween like an adorable little chaperone. But now that it's spring it sounds like a lot of them aren't spayed, and there's just so so much cat fighting and screeching at night. On the plus side there aren't many/any dogs here, and I'll take some cats screeching a bit at night in the spring over 'a dog, somewhere, is always barking.'.

And my wife is a flight attendant so she has to actively help and explain this poo poo to the people doing it. How the gently caress are you so dumb that a five nothing woman has to help your 6'3" rear end get luggage out? Thank god we're on different airlines or I'd be fistfighting passengers by now.
