Hardcordion posted:My favourite example of this kind of thing is Micheal Buble's cover of Santa Baby. He changes "baby" to "buddy" and alters a few lines in the verses but it's still very obviously a song about seducing Santa so he'll give you expensive presents. Oh God, same. I knew he was human TV static but I didn't know he was also a sexless coward Anyway, I'm in San Antonio today and I'm astounded that a city so hostile towards every form of transportation other than driving *also* sucks to drive in. All that money and planning to me this into a hellscape of asphalt and concrete and what did you even accomplish?

It was a revelation when I realized that buying a change of clothes at my destination was way cheaper than checking luggage and easier than dealing with a carry on.

News networks play on the TVs at work. I'm increasingly annoyed by how it'll rapidly slingshot from "thousands dead in Mariupol" type stuff to "HERO OFFICER SAVES PUPPIES FROM GARAGE FIRE :3" puff pieces and then back to horrible tragedies. Especially because boomer targetted puff pieces inevitably have good guy cops.

I saw one of those this morning and my first thought was "Heartwarming: Cop does his job" Feels like in the last two years, I've been seeing a lot more of it, I'm sure it has nothing to do with the calls to defund the police.

She's a returning guest star. And we'd even looked her up the first time we saw her, my IMDB still had her name link colored as visited

I've just been offered a new job, which I got via a recruitment agency, my cv, and some interviews. Yay me. However, in order to get my contract, I now need to fill in the employers bullshit application form on their recruitment portal, including precious career experience, educational achievements etc. And I'll have to do it all on my phone, cos my laptop belongs to my current employer, and I haven't got the balls to do it on their property.

Having your home this chaotic will make you feel worse!! I understand not knowing where you put something when it's a new thing or something you use very rarely. The whole "wait, what drawer or cupboard did I decide made sense to put rubber bands in the last time I used one, six months ago?" issue. But something you take with you every time you leave the house and bring back every time you come home; how does that not have a specific place it goes, that you know the location of like it was instinct?

It really says to me "I am so constantly distracted that I cannot even perform brainless routines like automatically putting something where it belongs" which also speaks to general organization skills far below what any given adult should be expected to manage. Brain on autopilot smh. Pay attention to your surroundings If you have a toddler constantly trying to electrocute themselves I guess I understand but noone I know has kids

My keys live in a little wooden bowl on the side table in the entryway by the door. My wallet, too. My girlfriends keys live in her purse, or her pants pocket, or the center console of her car, or the coffee table, or the dining table, or the kitchen counter. She asks me where her keys are, how in the blue hell should I know??? And yet I'm an unorganized rear end when I leave a mate-less sock on top of the dresser until its pair surfaces.

"Inspiring" music played during awards ceremonies. First of all, those feelings are supposed to be in our hearts, not our ears. Second, they're always generic knockoff brand unlicensed songs and sound like it, too. Danny Glover just got a lifetime achievement award and this is the soundtrack he gets for it? Duuuuunnn, dun dun dun duuuun, duuuuuun, dun dun duuuuun Terrible.

I, too have always been confused about the common trope of frequently losing one's keys in one's own home. Mine are always in one of two places: my pocket, or the spot on the counter where I always put them. How does anyone gently caress that up? There's only one proper response to someone who's lost their keys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--9kqhzQ-8Q

Congrats on both fronts \o/ Although being able to hang huge amounts of bags off the back of a baby buggy is awesome, sometimes you just want to be able to leave the house in under an hour and go get milk, and teenagers are easily bribed.

 This type of thing happens super frequently. And if you look at the discussion page, several people will have posted that they've reported the exact same error, over the course of months, and it hasn't been fixed. Is anyone actually looking at the reports or is that button there just to make you feel like you've done something?

Yeah there's a lot of phrases the Chinese course throws at me that I've just learned you gotta translate in a real unnatural way Because That's How The Owl Wants It 'I want tea and also milk', the 'also' is MANDATORY they just added new voice sets to that course, which overall is good it's important to listen to a wide variety of speakers, but one of them I s2g was recorded on one of those beige stick mics you'd plug into your speakers in the 90s

When you’re in a line of cars because someone far up the road might be going slow or something, and someone keeps trying dangerous passes like the shoulder of the road or the opposite lane to do their best to only pass one car before they need to merge back in. It’s fine to be annoyed by that front driver, but you’re just putting everyone else in danger.

If I have an armload of poo poo, my keys tend to get set down on the table by the entrance, 90% of the time I loose my keys it's because I left them there. Other reasons I can't find my keys: - There's a piece of paper on top of them - They fell off/missed the mark and are somehow partially under the table that they normally go on (I blame the cat).

Iron Crowned posted:If I have an armload of poo poo, my keys tend to get set down on the table by the entrance, 90% of the time I loose my keys it's because I left them there. Yeah, but at least you KNOW that. Like, if the keys aren't in the key spot, like you said, 90% chance they're in functionally the BACKUP key spot. My girlfriend is a lot like other goons GFs and wives, it seems. She'll walk in the door, armloads of bags or whatever, so keys and wallet get dropped in whatever random room she may or may not be bringing that stuff too. And not even consistently in the same spot in a given room. Something going to the bedroom? Keys and/or wallet (cause they often aren't together, even more baffling) could be on the dresser...or her nightstand...or my nightstand, for some reason...or they fell on the floor...or in her pants pocket...or jacket pocket...or her purse...or her backpack...or she left one or both in her car...or she was wrong and it WASN"T the bedroom she left them in it was the living room, so it could be on the coffee table, or the bookshelf, or the other weird shelf we have, etc... It's maddening when we try to leave somewhere and not until we're already trying to go out the door does she THEN decide to look for keys and wallet. But what's weird is just about everything else in life, she's more organized than me. Pantry+fridge, paperwork for all sorts of things, just general "house items" (I can't recall which drawer has the tylenol vs the extra soap, but she does). Just her wallet and keys are in a constant state of super-position where they exist nowhere and everywhere at once until I help look for them, at which point the waveform collapses and they are in my hand.

I mean yeah, it'd be nice to come home every single time I leave the house and gently deposit my keys in the official Key Place, drop off my badge in the Badge Depository, etc. But sometimes my arms are full of poo poo or I want to wash my hands right away (yay pandemic) or I have to change, or I put them in my pocket instead of my purse, or I'm just kind of thinking something other than "Oh golly better make sure I put my keys in the right place" when I walk through the door. And my short-term memory is poo poo, so even if I do set my jacket down thinking "Okay, the keys are still in there" if I have to do anything else it's likely I'll just forget by the next time I leave the house. I don't know, as someone who struggles with this kind of thing I guess my pet peeve is people acting like it's just so easy to be organized, who could even lose something like keys?? (Of course, my secondary pet peeve is myself, for not being able to do those things) And don't even get me started on how being late to something apparently makes you a garbage person who is directly insulting the people who invited you.

But I mean, even if your arms are full of poo poo don't you need to put your keys in your hand to open the door? And then they go from your hand to on the hook or dish or whatever right beside the door, this seems like one smooth action to me
