Since the last update to Chrome on my phone, it now submits the form when using autofill for my credit card. But it can't autofill the cvc number (by design, which is sensible), so the payment fails. This is also the fault of websites that don't validate the presence of a value for the field before submission, which is also very stupid.

My wife has family members who tried to watch the first season of True Detective and literally could not understand what they were watching, they were so used to “hold your hand network shows”. They were mad that they couldn’t understand and wanted Rust and Marty to solve a new murder each episode and couldn’t believe they were expected to remember stuff.

Yorkshire Pudding posted:For like 10 years the US clothing store/product line "Express" (maybe now it's called Men's Express, or they split the men/women's section?) was my go to "affordable but decent quality work clothes and suits" store. Like every pair of slacks, button-up shirt, and suit jacket came from there since 2012. You could get clearance stuff for like 50% a lot because it was "out of fashion", and I used to buy several pairs of good quality slacks for like $50 each and they'd last years. They also regularly had "slim fit" versions of shirts which fit my narrow frame perfectly. The old producer pants were some of my favorites. They had excellent memory and didn’t need to be ironed and had nice elasticity. You could wear them as dress pants, casual pants, and roll them up and they were shorts just fine. Very breathable on your junk too. Then the fabric on the black ones changed and a few years later the white ones. Just garbage, always wrinkled, the thin fabric had no give and would fall apart faster. I ended up throwing away like $250 worth of them before they even gave out because I’m not going to bother trying to iron plastic melty pants just oh so right.

I do not visit yelp all that frequently so I have no idea when this change was made. Theres a shop I’m visiting later and wanted to check out some of the pictures others had posted in their reviews. However, yelp is blocking me from being able to see them unless I download and install the yelp app, which I’m not doing. Yelp was always lovely so all they’ve done is outdone themselves in their capacity for shittiness.

Related: the first three reviews on any given Yelp page are NOT reviews for the business you've looked up, they are reviews for related businesses or random poo poo in your area. If you want the actual reviews of the place you looked up you have to scroll halfway down the page. Everything about their web platform is actively hostile to mobile users and is deliberately designed to force you into installing the app. loving shameless.

Has anyone else mentioned Halloween candy? I realized over the past few years that there's like 3 variety bags that everyone buys at whatever big box store. I remember in 80-90s Halloween that we got all sorts of weird candy that we'd never try otherwise, like wax teeth, honey sesames, or colorful tootsie rolls Now it's a sea of Mars products for both chocolate and fruity types of candy. The conglomeration of another industry.

I just got back from seeing The Marvels at an AMC. I'm actually not going to complain about the film, or Marvel movies, or whatever (that debate has been done to death anyways). Instead, I'm gonna complain about the fact that there were a full 35 minutes of previews beforehand! It's nuts that I showed up 20 minutes late (because that is the standard amount of ads nowadays), and I still had to sit through 15 more minutes of previews. And the most annoying part is that the amount of ads is wildly variable — I showed up 20 minutes late to TMNT earlier this year, and missed the first five minutes of the movie because there were less previews than normal. So "just show up later" isn't really a viable option if you want to see the whole movie.

I know the article goes for the Algorithm, but the "Algorithm" is corporate suite tummy-feels and attempts to avoid invoking their wrath. I've done this work before for numerous businesses, it starts with a specific site or type of site blocked and then a request to include them and after enough companies get the same tummy-feel pressure there becomes a list at an ad server level. Theres no "algorithm", just a mashed table of "no one in corporate will complain if you block this" and" will potentially scream bloody murder if you don't". Edit: I once had to pull a list of more than 4 thousand websites for a corporate exec to trawl through so they could line by line strike out the ones they didn't like.

Atopian posted:That's presumably by design, or everyone would start showing up (reliable number of minutes) late, and that wouldn't do. I got out of theatre work in 2017, so I can't speak to this exact scenario, but it wasn't nearly as coordinated as you'd expect. Movie comes in with a list of trailers to run on opening weekend (sometimes an exact, you must follow this or be reprimanded list, sometimes "A, B, C, + two more family friendly films" list) and then every weekend those lists get pruned to remove films that are opening that weekend. Only rarely did replacements/additions get made to films that held over into their third, fourth, etc weeks. So if you roll into TMNT on week three or four and its trailer pack has been pruned down to half its original length, you could easily miss a few minutes by trying to avoid trailers. I used to give my box office employees lists of trailer lengths to help customers avoid that sort of situation, but that was years ago and before covid.

Athletic sweat pants have gotten to me. I laid out the XL, L, M, S all on top of each other at the storm the other day. Maybe a half inch difference in length from one size to the next. You almost have to be 6’ tall to wear the S without pulling it up to your chest.

I've seen one movie at AMC in the past like 5 years and it was 30+ minutes of ads and trailers. Find a smaller, regional chain. The one I go to has like two trailers and an ad before the movie starts.

My municipality renogotiated the private trash pickup contract such that the garbage man having to roll the trash bins out from the back/side of apartment buildings now costs a lot extra. So now there is a cottage industry of independent contractors (aka a guy in a yellow vest) who landlords hire to come by the building and put the bins out on the curb the night before and then come by again after pickup and return the bins. Sometimes that guy shows up and sometimes he doesn't, but there is really no way to check aside from the tenants maybe noticing that the trash bins are overflowing for some reason and connecting the dots enough to complain.

I know this is the things that got shittier thread, but reading about the 35 minutes of ads in front of a movie made me realize I see maybe one movie a year, if at all. There's no point rushing to a theatre when I know it'll be on streaming in like 2 months tops. Which is honestly fantastic, remember when we were kids and they made people wait over a year before putting out the VHS of something? And they'd release it to rental stores first, then only for home purchase a few months after that. DVDs hosed that whole system up, thankfully. The pandemic basically got rid of even releasing things in the theatre and they're clawing it back, but I'll go back to a movie theatre pretty much never. I can't smoke weed, drink, and yell at the screen there. Plus, the food I have at home is way better than the frozen poo poo they toss in a microwave.
