I have to wonder how many accidents have been caused by UI engineers randomly moving poo poo around in music apps. I have YT premium since YT Music actually randomly has a great algorithm for finding new music (and it's nice not having youtube ads generally) and once every couple of months they'll just move buttons to other places or nest them in drop-down menus and it completely messes with my muscle memory while I'm driving. I know I shouldn't even be touching my phone, but it shouldn't be a struggle just to hit "shuffle" while I'm still watching the road 100%

Aside from Discord being awful for finding useful information, it also serves to make social forums actively worse. There's a forum I've been going to for going on 20 years and ever since Discord has become popular it has driven the vast majority of toxic drama on there. You get these splinter groups of cliquey posters who gossip with and about each other and then bring that pettiness back to the main board. The mods have actually done a good job this past year in reigning in a lot of that through bans on particularly offensive people who still posted like it was 2004, but there's still issues where their friends will relay information back to their Discord groups so those banned users still have an influence on the discourse. On top of that even the "good" posters get into their own groups so a lot of topics end up being filled with incomprehensible in-jokes that clog up the boards. It's part of the reason I've moved over to SA more and more even though that place still has a place in my heart.

skooma512 posted:Wait, you weren't talking about SA? Lol no, but I'm sure someone who goes there will know what site I'm talking about since there's a lot of crossover between user bases. The nice thing with SA is that it's much larger so I can just read the megathreads about random interests and not run into a ton of drama most of the time. There, if poo poo goes down it's literally all anyone is talking about.

The engine auto shutoff is so annoying for my commute. I usually take a back route to work that includes about 6 4-way stops out in the boonies. Unless there's a bunch of traffic, most people do slightly rolling stops since you can see traffic from a mile away as you're pulling to the intersections and I can't tell you how many times the sudden loss of acceleration causes confusion because people think you're letting them take right of way before your car suddenly decides to turn back on. Probably more of an infrastructure problem but still a gripe I have.

Pennywise the Frown posted:You guys wanna hear something loving gross? I get texts like this probably once a month because I bought my house for cheap (67k back in 2017) and these property management companies apparently go through and just mass text people who could make a significant profit on their property now that the market is insane. Yes, I realize I can make 60+ grand if I sell my house, but then I'm stuck paying over double my mortgage renting from these same slimy corporations that bought me out. I usually just block their number.

I have on two separate occasions had an accident where I got cut down to the artery and chose to do a makeshift tourniquet and drive myself to the hospital to avoid paying thousands for an ambulance. The second time I even poured a bunch of vodka on the wound before leaving and the er doctor said that was badass lmbo
