I recently had taken a flight and realized only too late that I should not have gotten on the conveyor belt. Everyone just standing on the loving thing, nobody moving. A man using a walker beside me being just slightly faster than we're moving. The belt is to speed things up you loving lazy fuckers

Youtube Shorts has now shown me videos with the real corpse of a cat featured on screen twice now and it's not less upsetting the second time. I blocked both channels but idk how to teach the algorithm 'don't show me a dead cat please'

It's annoying when music streaming services only have the deluxe / special edition of an album, so when the album's last actual track finishes, it runs straight on to some demo or live track. Can really ruin the vibe sometimes.

It's already taken out a section of our fence after a windstorm, why the gently caress doesn't this guy have to pay for it

2 layers of peeve:

1. I hate it when people ask me to play ambassador or messenger between them and someone who's not communicating with them. I always want to say, "Hey, if someone doesn't want to talk to you, that's their business. Don't make it my job to nag them for you," but that's often an inappropriate response (like when the request is coming from a manager at work). I hate that it takes me so much effort to scrape around for some idea of how to respond to this request in a mature, adult way.

2. I hate that because my dysfunctional family made me play this role between all the various people who wouldn't talk to each other (and I hated it then too), this has made me over-sensitive to anyone who asks me to do this now as an adult and I always get angry over it. I hate that I can't tell if someone is approaching me with a polite request and I'm getting bothered simply because of my history, or if they're doing something out of line and it's appropriate for me to feel bothered. I hate how family dysfunction and abuse fucks with your perception of what's normal/reasonable/healthy and what isn't, so you can't trust your own mind to interpret situations accurately.

Always helpful to remember: you are NOT the manager, that's THEIR job to track someone down. You're not an admin assistant or someone's "gofer" when they suck at their job. They have the title, pay & job description of manager - until you're in their spot, it ain't your problem. No different than asking someone to do the work of another person/team you're not involved with - if they want to provide the pay & additional title(s), go for it. Otherwise they can pound sand.

I went outside and that tone is happening again. I determined it's just around 3100 hz, so if anyone wants to know what I'm hearing while I play on the swings with my son, put that on for an hour.

Edit: actually there's a second tone about 50hz higher that starts up randomly alongside it and oscillates for a bit and then fades out, so add that in.

I hate how virtually every single person that plays Fifa online plays as Paris Saint Germain, to the extent that no matter how tight you make the matchmaking criteria, you come up against them like every other game even if you're playing with a dramatically inferior team.

I'd rather wait a few minutes to find an opponent than be forced to repeatedly play the kind of unimaginative, joyless oval office that just repeatedly pings it to Mbappe for 90 minutes, every single game.

Sure, when you beat them playing as Cardiff there's a sense of savage triumph, but the other 50% of the time it's so futile that you may as well give up before you've even started.

I know it's because this game is targeted at children who enjoy that sort of thing, rather than bitter old men like me, but it's just so irksome that it's impossible to have a good, fair match online unless you play with a CL level club.

Oh well, back to banging in infinite goals against the AI I guess.

I feel you. I started hearing something like this while inside my house right around the start of COVID, especially at night, and when inside. Right at the edge of my hearing. Sometime it was a constant hum, other times it would rise and fall as if two separate sources at nearly the same frequency would sync and unsync. This phenomena is most often reported by men over 50. But I am sure this noise is real, as I only hear it at home. And If I wore earplugs, I could not hear it.

After a year of it, I started to go loving insane. Driving around at night looking for the source. In the end I never found it. I suspect it may have been a series of large pumps that ran at night when electricity was cheaper, pumping water from low elevation up to the water tanks at the top of a nearby hill.

I am now able to ignore the sound, but it is still there if I let my mind fixate on it.

Good luck

My theory was it's some sort of air compressor inside the maintenance bay at the back of the school, just based off other weird, windy sounds I hear blasting out of there... but then it kept going all night long last night and I could hear it when I woke up to piss at three AM so, that seems unlikely. Probably something fucky in the ventilation system? I dunno, but I called and summarily got a "weird! well, uh we'll let custodial know to check it out." Which I'm sure they did, absolutely.

Also if they're edging the grass and finishing up they only need to hit spots so holding down the throttle the whole time is pointless.

If they start doing it right off they could be warming up the motor since if you start working a 2 stroke cold you can damage a piston.

Was at a restaurant with my partner and there was a dude at the table behind us that just kept going on and on about the stuff he'd been doing and every time someone else would start to talk about something else, he would find a way to drag it back to him. Like dude, let someone else talk! I felt so bad for the people he was with.
Bonus: from what we overheard (dude would not lower his voice, everyone in the restaurant heard what he was saying) he was an aspiring youtuber :rolleyes:

Probably the same justification they use whenever they remove functionality from a product, “we simplified it for you!”

Meanwhile the simpler and less functional something appears to be the more of a pain in the arse it is to fix when it breaks.
