Nowadays there's always some slow-walking jackass in the middle of the goddamned sidewalk moving at a snail's pace, people walking out of businesses and not looking to see if someone's in the way of the door, folks blocking an entire aisle of the grocery store with a shopping cart while they look for their cans, it's just infuriating. And you walk around a person going 0.003 mph on the sidewalk, not looking up, not saying anything, not making eye contact, they act like YOU are the rear end in a top hat.

This also applies to driving. People just blazing up to hazards in the road, or completely ignoring signs. Constantly amazed there aren't more accidents. I don't like the weird paranoid old man I've become. ... Oh and Google maps looks like garbage again. Guess Alphabet needed to break something this month to fill their quota.

Many, many genres, always horrendous autotune.

Honestly, if you’re going to talk loud into your cellphone anyways, I say let me hear the other side of the conversation so I can at least have some context. I don’t want no “if it wasn’t for my horse, I wouldn’t have spent that semester in college” poo poo rattling around in my head from the freezer aisle

Yeah, if you try to convince people not to be loud assholes in public, they will just decide that not shouting at their phone all the time is woke.

Christ I hate speakerphone. My boss always uses it and not only can I not hear him worth a poo poo, I don’t know who’s in the office with him, so I have to be exceedingly careful not to inadvertently offend or piss someone off that’s listening to our conversation.* It’s like ‘dude, I’m calling you because I don’t want to put this in an email, for Christ’s sake, have a clue’. * I don’t mean in a politically correct way, I mean in a ‘this other department are being asshats’ way.

Shithouse Dave posted:Not that I’ve ever heard someone playing good music on their phone speaker in public, but even great tunes I really like sound lovely through phone speakers I was on the train yesterday and this couple were watching some sitcom on their phone via loudspeakers. Guy was holding the phone, lady was standing behind him eagerly watching over his shoulder. Super eagerly, in this weird creepy way like she's watching him set up the heroin needle. The show was the one with Erkle in it maybe? Something annoying from the 90s with a super annoying laugh track. The whole thing sounded horrible and I have no idea why the people treated it like crack. That was one of the most bizarre things.

Somehow, they just made Slack worse. Now all your workspaces are bundled up under one icon, so you can't tell what has notifications and what doesn't. Two of five workspaces I'm in have the new UI applied, and the other three don't, so as you change workspaces, the entire UI flips between the new and old design. And they completely changed the themes, everything's a gradient now.

They also changed Slack so you can't have a thread open in the right hand pane unless you're viewing the channel that the thread is in on your main pane. Why?! The whole loving point was so I could have a side conversation in one pane but still do whatever else I needed to do in the central one. It's objectively worse in every way.

I’m pretty good at going with the flow as a teacher, but the start of this year has me worried that I can’t possibly keep up with students needs anymore. I’m still getting high school students who have been “homeschooled” through Covid, who can’t write their names or interact with people, but they have no history in the system so there is no support provided. And of course those parents sign them up after school has started so we can’t get enough staff. At the same time, more and more students escaping from Ukraine are arriving and being put in regular classes, with no more support then “use translate app on your phone to talk to them”.

Some math (I can get by the language gap if the kids have a strong math background), and programming/soldering. Those aren’t fun to do if you aren’t confident it is safe for the kid to do the work.

If someone has ever downloaded a Google drive in one go before please let me know. Also, gently caress you Google. There doesn't seem to be a way to see who has permissions on a shared drive. The only way to figure out who has access to what is to manually check file and folder permissions for every single file and folder on the drive. Apparently, this is fine and there's no security issues at all.

For some reason, spotify on my work laptop keeps telling me that multiple people can control the device if I decide to do some sort of shared session. It tells me this after every other song, and it steals focus to do so, popping up the application window. It makes it completely impossible to use spotify while trying to focus, which sucks because that was my primary was of drowning out my rear end in a top hat coworkers who are taking calls from their desks.

I voluntarily homeschooled myself from ages 15-17 because the schools were just that lovely. I looked at homeschool student groups in an attempt to be normal at socializing and the kids that had it done to them as a religious thing were almost universally illiterate. Edit: like it was a net gain being around them and they were decent people, but it was bizarre trying to show them an RPG i was working through on my Game Boy Advance and them just being like "this has words".

Hit reply and it went through and I saw it posted there. Then the post immediately disappeared. So I posted it again with slightly different wording and it showed up in the sushi thread while this post wound up here. Like… what? Or maybe I’m just a weenie doofus who posted in the wrong thread at first. What a fuckin’ weenie doofus
