Joey Freshwater posted:Gmail search has the same rules as google search. If you want something specific, put it in quotes. If you’re getting a lot of results that have something in it you don’t want, use -(word) to force a removal of that word or phrase. That's the point. They hosed up search so badly that it only works properly if you use operators and filters, and usually I don't know what operators I need until I discover that searching for 'ducks' is giving me results for 'geese' and 'Oregon'. Regular Google search would at least put a few of the 'ducks' results first before deciding I didn't actually mean to search for half the words I typed.

I get mildly annoyed that when I tell people I hate flying they always seem to jump to "well you shouldn't be scared, it's the safest form of travel!" I'm not scared or nervous...I just loving HATE IT. It's a hassle, we all know this. Every hack comedian for the past 40 years has a bit about flying sucking, and half of those jokes are pre 9/11 and TSA measures, even. Getting to the airport is a pain and expensive. I live in a small city/large town, like 40K people, maybe 100K total if you add up all the surrounding towns. So it's functionally a regional airport with no good public transit access. So I either drive and pay for parking, which for a trip less than 5/6 days is actually not a bad option cause at least the airport parking is cheap here, or pay like $50 for a cab or Uber/Lyft from my place to the airport. And, since it's just a small regional airport, unless it's a major city on the east coast, or Detroit or Chicago, there will not be a direct flight there. And the timing of so many of the flights out is really bad for a lot of connections. So I get to my airport at 5 AM for a 6: AM flight to JFK, land at like 7, but when you account for taxiing, delays, etc... I can't rely on any connecting flight before 9, but then I find out there really aren't any 9 AM ones anyway so I'm stuck waiting till 10 or 11. My GF and I are going to Hawaii in March and I am not looking forward to the travel remotely. It actually seems like our "best" option is drive ~5 hours to Boston and convince my sister into giving us a ride to Logan in the morning so we can actually take a direct flight there.

I have a peeve: Time off and podcasts. Don't get me wrong, I like having days off from work, but I listen to podcasts all day. A 3 day weekend is easy enough to absorb into a work week, 4 days depends on if anyone else took that holiday off. My work shuts down for Christmas, which for me ended up being 11 days. I'm still catching up, and that included deleting a few episodes, I probably won't be back to zero for another week or two

I can tolerate flying, but I will never, ever be able to remove the swirling background thoughts of plummeting to a terrifying, firey death out of my mind for even a single second of a flight. I have a minor panic at every single bump, change in engine sound, 'seatbelt on' signal, worried looking cabin crew. Amplify it all by ten times when flying over the ocean. It's super annoying to have such an irrational fear.

It’s weird I’m full of anxiety so much every day but during a plane ride whenever it gets wack I just stop caring and go whatever. If I die I hope it’s quick. I think I really hate flying that much. Pain in the rear end and deeply uncomfortable lol

The Perfect Element posted:It's super annoying to have such an irrational fear. I mean, given that flight has been around for like .001% of the time in which we've had to evolve our lizard-brains, I don't think it's at all irrational that your brain interprets flying 35,000 feet over the ocean at 600 mph in a thing made by people as dangerous. For me, the fear is alleviated just by reminding myself that at this point there is nothing I can possibly do to survive or die if something happens. Since it's out of my hands, it's no longer a concern!

I don't really mind flying in itself, but I really don't enjoy being stuck in close quarters with a lot of people and flying is about the most "stuck in close quarters with a lot of people" it's possible to be.

Yeah, my issue with flying is apparently no airplane designer believes men with my shoulder width exist, so I wind up effectively compacted in a tiny box for hours trying not to get in my neighbor’s space. My shoulders inevitably are in agony afterwards. Bus seats at least seem somewhat better about that.

I find flying relaxing for the most part but one time during a flight from New York to Copenhagen, it was pitch black outside and I couldn't see any land anywhere despite the fact that we were actively in the process of landing, and my general thought was "I've had a good run   "

It's like flying into Sitka, AK or to a lesser extent SFO. There is nothing but water underneath you until you are distressingly low.

The Amazon music app is an absolute piece of poo poo. It crashes all the time, is incredibly janky, poorly designed, and just in general doesn't feel like a product created by one of the biggest corporations on earth . But it has a fairly comprehensive library and costs £8 a month for uhd audio, and I can't really justify paying more than double that for any of its competitors.

I can listen to people talk and type it quickly enough that I don't have to ask the them to slow down at all but I will never get how people read at the same time too.

So if someone handed you e.g. an encyclopedia article and asked you to type it up as fast as you could, you could quickly transcribe it but wouldn't really know what it said by the time you were done?

That's not unusual. When I was in jail I used to transcribe legal documents for some inmates in exchange for soda and stamps. I am an extremely fast typist; I once competed in a tournament and won second place with 136 perfect WPM thank you thank you but anyway the point is no please sit down everybody haha hold your applause the point is, I would transcribe a lot of documents but it was all just like, words going into my eyes, words being output by my fingers, and by the end I'd have no idea what any of it was about.

Because eyes and facial features on thumbnails make them more eye-catching, people are slowly editing them more and more to see if they get a handful more views. I've started noticing more and more video makers editing in giant eyes, and at this rate I fully expect that half of youtube's thumbnails will look like Greys in a couple years. The perpetual chase to game the lovely algorithms just keep making the web less and less human every goddamn day.
