We could create a chain of react videos. It'd be a like a game of telephone; the first person reacts to some video by laughing. By the time we get to 15, the person will be reacting with intense anger.

You know how in the last 5-10 minutes of a meeting, there’s this energy in the room as people start gathering up their things and preparing to wrap it up? Yeah strap yourself in, there’s at least another hour to go.

credburn posted:I know this is probably old ground, but "reaction" videos are different than what I thought they were. I guess I've been seeing occasionally this side-by-side set of videos, one that is funny or confusing and the other that shows some person uhhh... laughing at it or being frustrated by it. What upsets me so much about this is that I didn't know that the reaction video was added on afterward; I thought all these videos were made together, by the same person. So it's an already funny video, or a video that already has some kind of premise, and someone crams their stupid face next to it so I can see how they react? Why is THAT the version being shared? It's the same loving video just with an added person reacting to it. It's like adding a loving laugh track to a show that doesn't need it. It objectively makes the video worse It's a bullshit way to steal other people's content and make money by plastering your face onto it. At least some "react" people do actual commentary or a review but 99% of the videos are poo poo. I kind of like those Corridor Digital guys explaining stunts and filmmaking but the way they keep begging you to subscribe turned me off.

It is an absolute coin flip whether my dad texts me with SMS, Signal, or Facebook Messenger (which I have told him a million times I don't have on my phone and won't get until I'm on my PC) I s2g he is uniquely problem solving 'how do I message kyg' every single time

Crespolini posted:it's hosed up that people want to know when the thing they're waiting for is going to happen, but why don't you just give a vague estimate? like within x days or something if you're so scared they'll call you about it? I forgot I posted this, but basically we send issues to one of several local offices where we don't know their schedule, how many people they have capable of responding, how many other issues they have to call people about before this one, if they're going to request more info from us first, etc. I figure the company thinks it's just easier to say "I'm sorry, we're not able to provide a timeframe" than try to make a guess with that many factors (and inevitably disappoint people). Besides, my main peeve was the people who hear that and jump to "you're telling me it might be literal decades before I get a response!!" as if that's not patently ridiculous and they know it.

The reason people leap to absurd timeframes is to highlight how ridiculous it is that the company refuses to tell them how long something might take. Anyway, my pet peeve is when there's a cool song on the radio, and they don't tell you what it is afterwards.

Yeah I work in a field where we send off applications for clients into the ether and have no control whatsoever how long they will take, but I can almost always still say to clients "it will be a matter of weeks and months" or "it might take a year or possibly two" so they have some idea.

I guess to some extent it's impossible to ever fully guarantee that anything at all can ever be done within any fixed period of time. We should do away with estimates altogether.

There's gotta be the same psychopathology at work between the people who make responses like that, and the people who respond to mild criticism by immediately taking it to the extreme. Like, you ask your roommate to please make sure he closes the freezer door all the way, and he flips out and yells, "Fine!! I'll just never use the freezer ever again!!!"

A few houses down from where I live, there is a dog that barks almost every day at 6 in the morning, and very often around 11 to midnight. Also just generally throughout the day at anyone who walks by, or just because. My next-door neighbour, a really cool old guy who I have over for dinner every Friday evening, went over to that house a few weeks ago when he saw that the owner was just leaving for work. He asked the owner if he could maybe keep his dogs reasonably quiet, since the bylaws state that 8:00am to 8:00pm are dog-barking times. The owner lost it, and claimed that the only way he could "make them SHUT UP is to PUT THEM DOWN" and that he would come by his house in a few days to "GET THE BILL for the COST of THE INJECTION!" Like what the heck?

Cooking-show judges who describe an al dente (or harder) texture as "toothsome." "Toothsome" means "delicious." It has nothing to do with texture or hardness.

"al dente" means "to the tooth", and "toothsome" is also a valid description for "al dente".

I have my phone set to go into silent mode (Do Not Disturb) on a schedule, namely when I'm working and when I'm sleeping. It did this no problem for years but twice in the last month it has just randomly nuked the schedule entirely with no warning, resulting in my stupid nerdy SMS tone going off when I'm in meetings and such! Bitch I put this poo poo on an automatic schedule for a reason! Cut it out!

Windows Defender: *WARNING! SECURITY ISSUE, ACTION NEEDED!!!!!* You open the panel and the only 'issue' is that you've disabled one of the 'we send whatever we want back to microsoft, pinky swear we won't misuse this.' phone-home features. Microsoft, this is how you get people to ignore warnings. When you ping out these important seeming notification things for trivial poo poo like 'user has disabled some of the telemetry', all you're doing is teaching them to ignore you. Why even let me disable it if all you're going to do is constantly whine that I have?

2nd flat tire in, like, 9 weeks. First one was my bad, I'll own it. During the big ice storm in late Feb, I came around a corner and there was a surprise rock. I decided to let the tire eat it instead of try to dodge and spin out on the ice and probably get broadsided by oncoming. Today though, the tire that is supposedly brand new as it wa replacing the flat, just delaminated out of nowhere as I'm cruising down the road. I didn't hit anything, just BAM heart attack. Not 10 minutes after I got through sketchy, windy roads above a raging river with no guardrails though so I'll take it happening here rather than there. But what the gently caress, goddamnit.

The local arcade uses a card you load a balance onto, which to its credit, is way more reliable and accessible than requiring coins. But instead of just saying 'your card has $20 on it, this game is $2', it's got a convoluted point system 100% intended to make you not do the mental math on how much you're actually spending. I just wanna play video games

Killingyouguy! posted:The local arcade uses a card you load a balance onto, which to its credit, is way more reliable and accessible than requiring coins. Reminds me of how a lot of online services used to (some still do?) work where you could only load up your account in, say, increments of $5 but no purchase would ever be divisible by $5, so you always had unused amounts. For my own pet peeve of the day: The bathrooms at work have changed to a much, MUCH worse paper towel. It's so thick/has such a tight weave, it's like trying to dry my hands with printer paper.

There's been this non-stop high-pitched whine in my neighborhood and I can't figure out where it is or what to do about it. It's like an emergency test signal is just on somewhere. I know it's been going since it was cold out, but now with the windows open I can hear it inside. It sucks major rear end
