'henshin' means transformation so maybe you're really bad at hearing?

My phone keeps nuking my automatic Do Not Disturb (silent mode) settings. MotherFUCKER you stupid goddamn phone.  The reason I put you on silent on a schedule is so I don't have to remember to take you on/off silent when I'm working or sleeping! I forget all the time to take it OFF silent when I put it on, so then it doesn't ring when my mom calls me or whatever. That is the point of a schedule, so I don't have to loving remember! If you keep nuking it, this completely defeats the purpose of a schedule!Is there some expiration somewhere that I have neglected to turn off?! Why has my phone suddenly started doing this?!

credburn posted:I just learned, "hentai" means like "transformation," which would explain why I frequently hear that word used in Japanese media and the subtitles don't seem to indicate any tentacle rape is afoot. 編隊 means "formation" 変態 is only used to mean "perversion," just like "pervert" used to have a much more strictly nonsexual meaning in English

My phone's "speech output" is set to "none (unless hands free)" which is apparently as close as you can get to "none, ever, under any circumstances, shut the gently caress up you piece of poo poo" but it seems to just randomly ignore that and talk to me anyway. And nothing - nothing at all - enrages me like a machine talking to me. I absolutely cannot loving stand it.

The lovely, hyper pruned trees you occasionally see around cities some places. Where they get cut down to just the trunk, and all you're left with is an awkwardly nude cylinder that gets partially covered in leaves before it gets pruned to hell again. They're just so sad.

I'm on a facebook group that posts historic photos of my city and you're SUPPOSED TO identify where the building you're posting is/was located. People keep just posting contextless photos like "look familiar?  " so all the comments are variations of "where is this" "where's this" "where was this located" Just give us the info up front so we can discuss the contents, LIKE THE RULES STATE

Old amazon returns process : take your item to a nearby shop, scan a qr code, then hand it over. New amazon returns process : Email your friend a bunch of labels you need to print, visit friend to collect the labels , return home, package up your item and tape all the labels on, await collection by Evri, hope that they come in on the day they're meant to, or that you've managed to get through the first few steps before they've arrived, pray that nothing goes wrong because the whole returns process is entirely divorced from the Amazon customer service system and there is no help whatsoever. Wankers.

At every new restaurant I've been to in the past year you either have to choose something in the 30 seconds it takes your waiter to fill your water glass or wait half an hour for them to check back in. And like I'd be spiteful too if I had to wait on people all day but c'mon, can we compromise to 5 minutes? Like I'll know what I want when I see it but the qr code menu hasn't even loaded yet.

Wait, so the restaurant has a thing to scan to get the menu on your phone, but you can't order through it, you still have to talk to a waiter? The whole point of those things is that you use your phone to order and your food is brought out to you.

The other point is they can change the menu and/or prices without reprinting menus.

I did see an article in either the Washington Post or the New York Times about customers (and restaurateurs) having lost patience with QR-code menus and longing to get back to good old paper. Let's hope.

I've never seen or heard of a QR code menu. What happens if someone doesn't have a phone? The Mexican restaurant near me just writes the day's menu on a chalkboard and it's fine. E: come to think of it, even if I do have my phone with me I have no idea how to make it read QR codes. Dip Viscous has a new favorite as of 06:43 on Jun 5, 2023 |

Tiggum posted:The restaurants I've been to that have online menus (which are mostly accessed by NFC rather than QR, actually) also had printed menus. You could order with your phone or go up to the bar and order there. iPhones recognize a QR code if you just point at it with the default camera.

The QR code for the menu leading directly to a point of sale system isn't common in the US but I've seen it a few times in major cities in the last couple of years. It's kinda nice except for the hassle of pulling out your phone and reloading the website when you just want another beer or whatever. Android phones have Google Lens for QR stuff if the basic camera app doesn't work. Tangentially-related, because it's "post" pandemic stuff, I've gotten really tired of guys that signal by insisting on a handshake. Dude, I'll fist bump you, but this isn't an interview and if it was you'd have failed. stringless has a new favorite as of 09:40 on Jun 5, 2023 |

Tiggum posted:On my phone you have to open the QR code app or Google Lens and then "search with your camera". I had to google how to do it the first time because people say "just point the camera at it" but that doesn't actually work. Ah, Lens did it. Thanks. FreudianSlippers posted:In 2023? I have a phone but I don't carry it around with me unless I'm going to be away from home for more than a full day, and a lot of people I know don't have data plans. Taking my phone with me wouldn't be a huge hassle but I'd have to know about it ahead of time.

I don't like the qr menu system cos it means that the first five minutes of your meal everyone is just staring at their phones. I guess it makes me a luddite old man, but that somehow feels more alienating and antisocial than a bunch of people reading menus.

The dumbest QR code encounter I've had was when I went to a play and instead of handing out playbills they had a code you could scan for a PDF of one. Then they kicked people out for using their phones in the theater.

Playing Magic: the Gathering and seeing a ton of opponents all playing the same deck they copied from some tournament winner or whatever. For one thing, it's boring. Once I see what deck it is I may as well just concede because the person you copied is a better player than either of us and I already know I can't beat them. For another, what's even the point? Putting the deck together is such a huge part of the game that if you're not doing that, you're barely even playing. You're essentially acting as a proxy for whoever did. Your victories mean nothing because you weren't the one who came up with the strategy. How is that even fun for you? Also, almost certainly some kind of confirmation bias or whatever, but I could swear it happens in bunches. Like, some nights it'll just be match after match of "Ugh, this deck again." and other nights it'll all be novel strategies that I haven't seen before (or don't remember). There's a good chance I'll still lose, but at least it'll be fun to see how it goes.

There's a very good series on YouTube that's the history of Japanese tcgs that outlines how the metagame for yugioh was notorious for having this pattern - everyone had the same game breaking deck and noone could counter it, because the game designers hadn't thought through the consequences of certain cards. Really, it's more on the game designers for not offering interesting ways to counter a specific pattern than the individual players

I don't think the decks I'm complaining about are unbeatable. MtG usually doesn't have that issue. They're just not beatable by me because I'm not on the same level as the people who are winning the high-profile tournaments.

Deckbuilding skill and playing skill are two entirely different things, and they're both important to winning. At the professional level, MtG tournaments are won by people who are highly skilled pilots of decks that are designed and workshopped by many people who are not them. But those same decks are generally piloted by many people, some of which suck rear end at actually playing them. So, just because someone has a good deck doesn't mean they're going to beat you. A bad deck can make you lose, but a good deck does not guarantee victory. So you shouldn't give up hope just because someone is using a deck strategy that you've lost to before. If there's a particular deck that's really annoying you in your local tournament scene, you can always adjust your sideboard (or even your main deck) to really gently caress over that one specific deck, which can be very satisfying.

They use this system at a food hall/bar set up in my town, and I rather like it in that context. You can seat yourself, order everything from different restaurants as slowly as you want, and a food hall employee brings it to you. I imagine it saves a lot of time and money on their end, since they don't need so many people to run registers or take orders. Only time I've seen that sort of system in the US though. It's a little impersonal but do I really need to be friends with my poor, beleaguered waiter?

Another thing: I really wish they'd add a button you could click to ask your opponent "Are you sure about that?" and let them take something back. Like, when you can see that they only attacked because they didn't notice your creature had First Strike or whatever. Anything where, in a face-to-face game, you'd point out the mistake and let them change their mind.
