Hardcordion posted:My girlfriend gets served up those back-and-forth videos on TikTok all the time and they drive me up the wall. Its always a huge multi-part STDH spiel about someone very calm and polite who works in hairdressing and their absolutely horrible moron of a client. I hate it enough when a story is filled with obvious lies and embellishments in a real life conversation-- Why anyone would willingly stick around to hear the whole thing is beyond me. I recently said something to this extent to my partner, who said "yeah i agree i hate those too," to which I asked "so why do you keep watching them in their entirety??" to which she said "idk lol"

Sorry, if the doctor didn't write down the magic spell, your symptoms aren't real.

Why does every URL now cost like $15,000. Why does ICANN allow this.

credburn posted:I've always hated "know what I'm saying" and "not gonna lie." Both of these seem to have by now just been interjections one just says without thinking about what they mean, but both of these took a long time for me to not get hung up on. Honestly, I have to admit, you know?

You know that ubiquitous symbol that means "external link"? A box with an arrow out of the top right corner? There's no Unicode symbol for that. Literally every time you see that symbol, it's not text, it is an embedded graphic. Very dumb.

I am an American living in Canada, so while I pay most of my taxes in Canada, I owe the US a pittance each year. This year I owe the IRS $71. In Canada, if you want to pay taxes to the government, you enter "the government" in the bill pay section of your online bank, enter you SIN, and pay. In America, you have to enter your entire life's history on a web form, which refuses to validate, so you have to sign up to pay $5 to some company to let you pay with a credit card, only to find out that they need the same life history and also can't validate it, so you try to sign up for an IRS account but they need a scan of your passport but you can't upload it from your computer you have to use your phone and they need a picture of your face for "liveness detection" but their app isn't compatible with your default web browser so you have to restart the process in a different browser and then since you don't have a US address you actually have to schedule a video call and submit two additional forms of identity verification. And, presumably, this is going to fail too for some inscrutable reason.

poo poo Fuckasaurus posted:Microsoft is doing the same with Office365. Documents are ephemeral, they're saved somewhere (OneDrive or SharePoint) but the apps do their damnedest to obfuscate that fact. Saving to the local machine is an option, but a scary popup comes up and says you might lose your work if you do so. It's bad and it's only going to get worse. A great side-effect of this is that none of my boomer clients knows how to attach a file to a loving email anymore. Everything is a MS365-generated "share" link that I don't have permissions to access and they can't give me permissions to access because they aren't the "document owner".

Every time I paste text in Google Slides, it adds two carriage returns after whatever I pasted. Why. Why would I ever want that.

I am peeved when corporate folks just mangle their metaphors horribly. Today I was told (read): "Friction holds us back. Frictionless propels us forward." Somebody doesn't know what happens to wheels in a low-friction environment!!

My pet peeve is the word "populism." It seems to be entirely a tool for saying "policies people like" but in a bad way. Did we lose track of the idea that adopting policies that are broadly popular is the loving point of democracy, or did we just finally accept that the US isn't a democracy, or...?

Riatsala posted:Flying an airline where everyone gets two checked bags for free and still everyone's fighting for a place to put their carry-on. Why do you need 30 pounds of poo poo for a 2 hour flight? Check that bag and get a backpack that fits under the seat. I mean, if you have a lovely boarding group it's probably going to get gate checked anyway. It's because of all the earlier people who put their coats in the carryon zone and slammed the door on a half-full compartment.

If your side rear-view mirror is angled so far in that I can read your lips from directly behind you, you need to angle it out more. Your center mirror is already showing you what's directly behind you, the side mirror is supposed to show you what's behind you and to the side! Hold music shouldn't exist, and ABSOLUTELY shouldn't be interrupted every 40 seconds by a smarmy message telling me how much my time is valued and advertising some new service. These things combined make it all but impossible to do anything else for the 60-90 minutes that I am on hold, unless it requires literally zero attention at all. Just give me a low tone, or at the most something extremely slow and ambient. Muscle Tracer has a new favorite as of 15:09 on May 2, 2024 |

Why are there so many image filetypes now, and why do they have such janky, uneven support distribution. I'm sure a webp is 1% smaller in filesize than a jpeg or something, but how have they been around for YEARS and still aren't supported by things like Google Slides or Imgur?

The "introduction" to a book should be written with the assumption you haven't yet read it. Don't tell me how the book ends in the second sentence of your intro, Daryl!
