Edgar Allen Ho posted:I mean you're doing the exact thing. I'm not trying to brag but she is a legit cutie by objective standards, and it fuckin sucks to have people I'm close with (or was, honestly rather) be all "drat you love that bimbo slut now" Aren't you like 5'3 and dying of cancer?That's pretty interesting lore imo. Let's hear some more about you instead of just the wife all the time and I dunno, maybe you have a new strain of covid or something?

I resent songs written by wealthy musicians where it's like a critique of people who work boring desk jobs and are just busy doing the daily grind and climbing the ladder (ie people like ME). buddy, if I could make a living in a band then I would, but whoops that didn't work out, and I've gotta afford a roof over my head and tickets to your show somehow!

I don’t like when I’m typing my e-mail address in and as soon as I type one letter it says, “This is not a valid e-mail address.” I know, mother fucker, just let me finish! Also my wife’s huge tits are constantly knocking over my brass candlesticks. Sheesh!

Wanted to try a simple multiroom speaker thing I could easily cast to, so I tried a Google Nest Audio, after learning that they have a physical switch to disable the mic. I'm pretty happy with it audio/usage wise, but they're intentionally being annoying if you do turn the mic off. Normal mode: The device has 4 lights to show status, they pop on when things happen / volume gets adjusted, etc. At night they can be dimmer as to not be as distracting. Most of the time they'll be off and the speaker looks just fine. Mic off? 4 orange lights on the front on at 100% strength, forever. It's really obnoxious because it is very eye catching when you've got a bunch of glowing lights on the shelf. No option to disable it either, because they only have the button there to shut up people complaining about assistants spying, not to be a useful feature in it's own right. It's just so wildly childish that I can't just go 'yes, I know the mic is muted, please make the lights behave as normal.' The lights could still be orange, I just want them to not be on 24/7. (You can apparently disable the mute light on the Nest Wifi, but not Nest Audio. Why on earth would you not have this work consistently across your ecosystem.)

The latest version of the Windows O/S. Copy and paste are now icons when you right click on a file instead of text. I understand this may have some benefit for international markets, but I have been using PCs since the Commodore 64 days. Text has been working just fine for the last several decades and I am quite accustomed to it. Will I adapt? Sure I will, but for now it's my peeve; that and the fact that my hot wife keeps loving me so hard it hurts my family. Did I also mention she is Russian? And hot?

People being gender essentialists about their dogs I wouldn't bring this up at all but someone at the christmas fair got mad at me for misgendering their french bulldog. I didn't; I remarked their dog was cute as it was passing by and then started recounting a story about *my* dog to my friends, but the passing dog's owner kept correcting me every time I said "he" (referring to my dog). Just stood there and interjected "SHE" really loudly every time until I explained as politely as possible that we weren't talking to or about their dog. Your dog doesn't understand the concept of gender, and they certainly didn't affirm to you their cis identity at any point. You are not defending anyone's feelings but your own, and your feelings are stupid as poo poo!

BOOTY-ADE posted:I did this out of pure spite because I loving hate stupid M$ changes that make functionality worse  Another dumb little peeve is how I can only seem to pour anything out of my properly spouted Pyrex measuring cups about 75 percent of the time; the rest of the time, the contents pour directly down the outside wall of the cup and onto the counter. This seems to happen especially when I'm pouring something hot, just for that extra gently caress-you.

Put something long and thin on the outside of the spout, in contact with the glass, to pour it down that. We would use glass stirring rods in the lab.

I know service is an important part of the dining experience, but if you're going to leave a Yelp review, talk about the food and not a random-rear end encounter you had with the delivery person. People are more interested in hearing about whether the food is edible and not that your waitress was two seconds too slow in bringing you another Coke.

I don’t like insomnia. I slept like 2 or 3 hours and have been awake from around 2 or 3am to know. I miss my schedule where I got up at 2am normal now it’s just I still get up at 2am but there’s nothing to do for hours so I just post with tired eyes And it’s an entirely, opposite time zone and schedule, so I shouldn’t be struggling. But nope, my brain insists the clock is 2 so I must awaken. Been about three hours of postin so only about… 4 more hours till the sunrises and but a merciful three till I can justify hitting the shower and getting ready for work Also babies but I don’t care I love them. Someone let me sleep tho Edgar Allen Ho has a new favorite as of 00:24 on Dec 14, 2023 |

Many a time I've flashed forward but who the gently caress is gonna know what that's about, they probably just think there's a deer or cop up ahead. If they can't have the self-awareness to not have such bright loving lights, at least let them be paranoid.

I've honestly toyed with the idea of putting flip-down mirrors on the back of my headrests for this purpose. Or just a super bright LED flashlight I can shine back in their stupid faces.

Oh my god people from online parenting group, please stop referring to your babies with a million nicknames like “squank” and “stinky” and “pukelord” I’ve got two babies, who have seven names each, and I still manage to refer to them by appropriate names and not some dumb nickname like they’re an unwanted dog. They are babies, but also fuckin people who will one day use their real names and not Squank Edgar Allen Ho has a new favorite as of 16:54 on Dec 14, 2023 |

Bonus points if there's multiple names and you can establish a theme with them.

When I was a child every one called me Jimmy except my mom who called me poo poo head. I was told on the first day of kindergarten I got into an argument about my name with the teacher long enough that they had to call my dad in to convince me my name was actually James.

Clearly you missed that. We did porn. Not ashamed. Got paid to gently caress when we'd gently caress anyway. Hell yeah. Have posted about her nationality. Have posted about her grandpa killing nazis.
