The reason they're so insufferable is that they have to shove it into everything. Everything NEEDS PONIES, Fallout, Skyrim, TF2, pillows, conversations, Starcraft, Minecraft, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Really, if they just watched the show and kept it to themselves there'd be no problem. Not every conversation needs to be all about whatever the cartoon animals did.

Imagined posted:As a parent, it's also kind of frightening, because I suspect that a lot of these people would've eventually turned into functioning, normal members of society, but they accidentally stumbled into this internet cesspit that encouraged and reinforced and fed their socially awkward dumbassery until they've made it a core of their identity. Does posting about internet cesspits in an internet cesspit qualify as mild schadenfreude?

Say Nothing posted:Hello. I used to work next door to a hotel that was a long residency kind of thing, and every day it rained we always looked out the window because there was a car there that ALWAYS had the windows down. They'd drive up and the windows would be up, but when they'd close it they'd lower em, and it must have rained in that car 3 times a week easy. One time it was a huge mess, big thunderstorm came through, and when the lady opened it water just poured out of the car. It was kinda distressing at first, cause we were thinking "Oh poo poo that car's gonna be hosed!" but after she left the windows down for the 5th time we just figured she was kinda dumb. Still, watching gallons of water pour out of a luxury car is always a fun sight to see

I Don't need to get up for work till 8. This reminds me of a story my mother told me once about one of my uncles. When she was a little girl in the middle of Louisiana, they had to sleep with the windows open, and cicadas would sometimes perch in the tree right outside her brothers' window and just make their horrible noise for hours. Well, one night there was a particular large and loud one that kept my elder uncle awake until finally he'd had enough. The rest of the family woke to the sound of his revolver going off and ran outside to see that he had climbed the tree, found the offending cicada, and put the barrel so close to him that he could have stuffed him in it before pulling the trigger and vaporizing the critter. Everyone went back to bed, neighbors didn't even turn on their porch light; that's just country living back in the day.

I sympathize with your uncle(Aunt), but not on the subject of Cicadas. Cicadas make a nice white uniform noise, they're easy to sleep through. Growing up in Wedafakarwi? county, we had a shitload of cicadas and crickets every night. I can sleep through that easily. Birds, though? Apparently birds know to shut the gently caress up till daylight in the wild. My apartment complex has deliberatly grown trees habitual to native birds, and excluded everything else in terms of plant-life or habitat or predators. There are zero bird-predators other than the occasional lucky housecat. The various species of bird have free reighn over the 8 acres of corp appartment complex. And they Will Not Shut The gently caress Up while I'm trying to sleep. They start the bullshit random chirping around 4AM. Every Single loving Day. I really, REALLY want to introduce a natural bird-predator into the system. How expensive / effective are Wolf Spiders to import? I'm not a cat person :P

Yeah, it seems like the easy solution would be to tax homeowners $75/year, rather than making it voluntary. "But what about the people who don't feel like paying it and DON'T have their houses burn down! How will they get that $75 back!" Jesus, a basic Netflix sub costs more than that.

GrandpaPants posted:I know it's not the same, but here are people whose houses caught on fire and the fire department chose to ignore it: My mom's the fire chief for our volunteer fire department. Last year one of our residents threatened to file a restraining order against the entire department because she told him that if he kept shooting fireworks off the roof of his house across a public street (super super illegal, but the guy is rich and our county cops are lazy as gently caress) she'd turn a fire hose on his entire party. She just told him to do it because then they wouldn't have to put his house out when he eventually does catch it on fire. He ended up celebrating the 4th somewhere else this year which is a shame because for once we actually did have a police presence during the 4th and they were actually planning on ticketing him if he did it again this year.

"But what about the people who don't feel like paying it and DON'T have their houses burn down! How will they get that $75 back!" That's really the issue with those. The county government refuses to levy a tax to provide fire protection for the rural residents. The city fire department is covered by the city's taxes, but they're not going to cover the rest of the county for free. As a compromise, they offer coverage to the county residents for a $75 annual fee - essentially a voluntary tax. Those who refuse to pay it don't get fire protection, period. So the real problem is the county government refusing to set up any sort of fire protection system for its residents. That's who people should be getting mad at.

The schadenfreude is on the entire population of the town and county for being libertardians. And indirectly on the US for encouraging that sort of behaviour. And now the schadenfreude is on me for being from a country whose government is now trying its hardest to emulate all that  trickybiscuits posted:The fact that she's covered in it and still smiling makes me happy.

trickybiscuits posted:eta: So many people getting woken up by birds- am I the only person in this thread who wears earplugs? Apparently so. I'm OK with the natural sounds of natural critters for my environment. I can sleep through cicadas and crickets and a few birds without a problem. The problem is that I live in a corporate complex that has eliminated all natural predators of all bird species, and provided habitats for EVERY bird native to my state. Awesome if you're a bird-watcher or retiree. Shotgun-purchase inducing if you just want to loving sleep past 4AM. I can tune several repetitive noises out and sleep through them, but because there are 20 different species competing every morning. They aren't predictable or repetitive, they're small dinosaurs trying to attract mates with creativity. They wake me and several other normal-working-schedule residents up. They're not regular enough to ignore. Tiny has a new favorite as of 05:20 on Jul 23, 2014 |
