"Deep dive" no, your 19 minutes YouTube magnum opus is not a "deep dive" into the plug socket. gently caress off calling what's at most a Wikipedia article's TLDR "deep". I expect at least 3 semesters of material if you want to call your content "deep dive". Even better, never use that cursed expression ever again. And it's always used for the most superficial crap "PC connectors deep dive: learn to tell a HDMI port from a USB port", gently caress off!

Every time I'm certain I need one more good night's sleep to get over my illness, I have a poo poo night of sleep and wake up feeling even worse. I'm thinking I might actually die next time I go to bed.

People posting snapchat stories that are just "went to the gym today" Like ok cool that sure is you in a locker room at the gym, never seen that, except for almost every day. Congrats, but I've been in those too. It smells and an elderly person will definitely get naked in front of you. Especially when it's my best friend cuz like, pal, we talk daily and I know you're more interesting than Hawkeye posing in sweatpants!!!!!

That said, there are some awful cases of passive voice-itis due to people being so social media posting-oriented. A guy I dated would occasionally just send these insanely detached messages, as if he was posting somewhere to pull in replies/status updates. 'really nice with some fresh waffles  ''enjoyed a run around the park.' Said guy was also a tedious dweeb, so i guess it was just a yellow flag. I still see him stalking my dating profile every now and then, like 8 years later, Christ. E: additional peeve, there was Lego at Copenhagen airport. But my bag could not fit a 10,000 piece, 1meter tall Lego eiffel tower in it

Passive voice would be like, "Waffles were eaten," emphasizing the object rather than the subject. It's used a lot in technical writing where first person is just Not Done. I don't know what you'd call that style of writing, but I hate it too.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:People posting snapchat stories that are just "went to the gym today" This might be a kind of accountability thing? Like if you don’t have a gym buddy to jolly you along into going, you do a post to say you went. It’s the kind of thing I would do ten years ago when I was learning to lift by myself. Like, a proxy pat in the back for getting my poo poo together on the regular. It’s good to be internally motivated but some people need a bit of external motivation and accountability to keep up their healthy habits. E: I never posted locker room photos. More like a picture of the weights I had on the bar, or a “hey I squatted 160lb today it’s my best yet”

When you're in someone's car and they take a phone call and never mention that there are other people present. Say "Hey, you're on speaker and Tiggum is also here" otherwise I'm being forced to eavesdrop. The person who phoned you doesn't know anyone else is listening if you don't tell them.

Having to introduce my wife to no one in particular and explain things hurts my feelings I get why perhaps it's annoying to constantly be like "my wife thinks..." But people like my mother also get aggro if I'm too "my wife" and like idk I'm sorry, but she's the best thing that ever happened to me, my 3.5th favourite person after the people we literally made, and like there's no possession when I say "my wife", she says "my husband," constantly, it was a mutual decision!! Having a courthouse marriage and avoiding people during was a big rear end deal!! Plus she's a bodacious babe just sayin

But I can also see how you get a rep as a wife guy, on the forums at least. Still, it is good to live your partner so I can’t hate on that.

Ok this is stupid but I'm irritated I have a blog about local history. I share my posts on a couple local history Facebook groups. The biggest of these groups has an admin that just locks down the posts in pending. My last entry has been pending since Thursday; he's let through multiple extremely off-topic posts since then, including the huge colorful words saying WOW WHAT A GEEAT PIC or THANKS FOR LETTING ME IN THE FROUP I LOVE HIDTORY but passes over mine every time So I tried switching to a decently-populated local history subreddit and it was auto-deleted. I'm going out of my way to make thoughtfully-researched posts about the topic and the actual administration of every single place I can post I actively deleting it in favor of literal spam. gently caress it I give up, people can just find me if they're so inclined

Halloween has a weird placement here in Norway in that it's not really an official thing, but it's popular with kids/etc. You do get the raving bands of sugar crazed kids, depending a lot on where you are. But I think this is the first time I've encountered kids going 'Was that X? I don't like that'. And my god child, one of the core parts of Halloween is bartering, swapping, and trying to trick other kids into trading the things you don't like, for things you do like. There are a couple extremely small, extremely polite kids too, so thankfully it evens out. (And they like the giant 3d printed lego decoration.)

I actually had this happen last year. I started giving out full-size candy bars after COVID and my house got popular. I had box from Amazon with Three Musketeers, Milky Way, Twix, and Snickers bars. I let the kids pick one. One kid comes up, looks at the box and says, "I don't like any of those." At first I thought I misheard him. So I told him to pick one. Again, "I don't like any of those." The kids behind him were like "Dude, just pick one." Finally he looks up at me and says, "Do you have any others?" I had to exercise a lot of self-restraint but ended up just saying, "Nope, sorry." So the kid walks off with nothing. I don't know...at least the other kids were thrilled.

Love it when somebody emails me asking me to do something last week, I respond the next day saying "Okay I did thing. Left a few comments in the document. Please address those and you're good to go," and then get an email today asking if I did the thing. Yes. I did the thing. I told you last week. I can see the email I sent in the chain! I just copy-pasted what I sent before and sent it again. Like people PLEASE READ YOUR EMAILS for the love of god.
