Tunicate posted:Sounds more like a house style, there are a million of those. I was taught it in school. It's kind of like the correct way to draw each letter (like, you start "R" at the top left, draw the vertical line, lift your pen, return to the top left and draw the rest) in that it's the "correct" way to do it and you're taught to do it that way, but it's not as hard and fast as spelling so you can get away with not doing it. And in the case of numbers there are a lot of situations where you would write the digit for a number under 11 and a few where you'd write the word for a number over ten.

Tiggum posted:What, in a language I don't speak? How would that work? You just fuckin do it and expect that you'll both gently caress up? Idk I'm a moron and somehow managed to learn kazakh before ever attempting anything beyond stock memorized phrases to my wife who speaks it natively. And now I speak fluently enough that I live here and people are shocked at a yank who speaks like a real kazakhstani? And same goes for french, which I speak natively, like, overwhelmingly my memory is people who constantly need to ask how you say x, I'm practicing, etc never get anywhere, whereas people who just power through and use french knowing they will gently caress up rapidly improve. Duolinguo is like, never progressing beyond stock phrases you stick together. It's a bad system. peeve I came here for: I try to match my cologne to the season, but it always comes in too big a bottle. It's time for winter cologne, but I still have way too much autumn cologne to justify getting a new scent. We'll be nearing spring before I run out of this.

I take deliberate effort to leave as little scent as is physically possible.

If you're saying that once you've reached a basic level of conversational fluency then actually using the language is the best way to master it, sure. With you 100%. But I'm far from that level. If a Japanese person starts talking to me in Japanese, I've got no hope of picking up more than a random word here and there.

Sometimes Duolingo will give multiple hints for a given word in a sentence, but none of the hints are the correct answer. (757-day streak and top 3 percent Galactic Legend learning style )

The concept of being 'hangry'. Well, okay, I get that being hungry can have an impact on your mood and attitude. However, to be a functional adult means not always being comfortable, happy and/or sitting fat and happy with a belly full of food. If, when hungry, you turn into a massive rear end in a top hat? Grow the gently caress up.

My wife is lovely and perfect, don't get my wrong, but her sense of temperature is making me grumpy It's currently -22, she's wearing my coat over her own coat because she got too cold, and first thing she does when we walk into our bedroom? Turn the fan on. Still wearing both coats. Lady, are you too cold or too hot? Pick one!!

One of the longest running battles in my marriage is the thermostat. She's constantly adjusting it depending on whether she feels too hot or too cold at any given point in time, and no amount of mansplaining will convince her that it's just easier in the long run to leave it on the same temperature, as half the reason she's too hot or too cold is because she will have previously turned it too high or too low earlier that day and arrhfjfjfj

# ? Dec 8, 2023 15:06 |

Oh, yeah, I feel that one. I lived with my mother for a few years in my 20s, and the thermostat was the biggest source of friction between us. But it was all her fault because (god bless her heart ), while she was an otherwise intelligent lady, she was a total idiot when it came to thermostat. Like she would turn the A/C off in the summer because "we don't need it -- it's already cool in here." IT'S ALREADY COOL IN HERE BECAUSE THE A/C IS ON HOW DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THIS HOWWWWWWW

Why do people who use power tools all use the exact same obnoxious rhythm?? First of all just use a dang regular tool, but ok, whatever, people gotta work and sometimes that means the boss demands you use power tools But cmon, can you at least use them at a consistent pace instead of powerwashing at 1am all vrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm, vrrrrr vrrrr vrrrrrrrrrrrrm, vrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm, vrrr, vrrrr vrrrrrrrrrrm It's like these people all conspired to come up with the most annoying noise pattern in the world. At least somebody can get used to a consistent hum. Might even be able to sleep through it. Hell no, gotta keep it just inconsistent enough.

I live across the street from an auto shop, I wake up to the whirring sound of pneumatic impact wrenches every day. i don't mind honestly, it's nowhere near as annoying as the delivery trucks that park in front of the building and leave the reverse warning beep running for literally half an hour while they run around to all the apartments delivering poo poo

Another wife-based annoyance: My high school best friend, my current best friend, and worst of all my loving mom are all pissed that I like the woman I am married to more than them. They all act like I'm trying to or have replaced them. They'll be like notice how this bitch dresses nicely and does her makeup every day, Edgar, you used to hang with us and not focus on this new person who has clearly seduced your dumb rear end. And like no shut the gently caress up, you're on 13 spouses between you, I'm on 1. I really am not married to my wife because you're supposed to get married sometime and she's pretty. I just loving love her. A lot more than y'all. She's funnier and smarter and kinder and just happens to be a total hottie on top of it all. Force me to choose, I'm choosing the sick rear end woman I exchanged rings with. Woman's the fuckin best even when she does annoying things.

For a split second I interpreted a shadow in my coffee cup as a hair, and my brain just won't let go of it. THERE IS NO. HAIR. IN MY COFFEE. JUST DRINK IT. DRINK IT. It's hard to do mind over matter when your mind is what's the matter.

InediblePenguin posted:"i don't understand how to do this thing" getting a response of "lol just do it you idiot" is absolutely a loving peeve I've overseen people give that "just figure out!!!" responses to very specific requests for clarification of expectations, and it's the worst. "Did you want a high level summary of the Canada/USA tax treaty implications for this proposed reorganization, or would you like to budget a few additional hours so we can provide a more detailed analysis on the key areas of risk?" "Quit wasting time and get this on my desk ASAP!" "Yeah, but does the client want..." "Just do it!" "...thanks man, great." It is good though because it makes it very clear who to avoid working with.

I've been noticing an awful lot of youtube thumbnails are just AI generated garbage now. It looks super gross and I hate it. Its somehow worse than the infestation of soy face and face palming thumbnails (which also still exist). Also every youtube video of any song will have some comment near the top about how this song was their dad's/son's/wife's/dog's/dog's sister's favorite song and they're dead now. It doesn't matter what song it is. Sam Stone by John Prine? Little Timmy told me this was his favorite right before he rode his tricycle in front of a bus. Hammer Smashed Face by Cannibal Corpse? Pop pop loved this tune, he literally just died in my arms right now as I typed up this youtube comment

Feel fuckin sorry for some of y'all who seem, much like my former loved ones, really fuckin upset that you can't find anyone pretty to love you. That really sucks. You're a fuckin sad peeve though.

I really can’t find someone to love me. I’m not pretty, or clever or funny or cool. I’m not even a particularly nice person. Sometimes I meet someone and it goes really well for a bit and I get excited but then they break it off abruptly (usually because they’ve met someone actually cool). My peeve is myself, I’m a bit poo poo, a massive dork and too old for people to see me as a potential partner. My other peeve is how you’re not allowed to be old, as a woman. You just go invisible somewhere around middle age.

Phone peeve: the "stupidification" of smart phones. Specifically taking away features to "streamline" the experience or w/e. It's horse poo poo and I hate it. I just got a new phone, and suddenly I don't have the option to use an SD card like internal storage. Ya know, put apps on it and suchlike. Googling has revealed that this feature has pretty much gone the way of the dinosaur! Well, it sucks and I hate it! Let me do what I want with my phone, if you please! loving phones.
