Killingyouguy! posted:My bad for interacting with Tiggum in the peeves thread, but unless you're seeing people telling others 'it's not called a vaccine it's called a jab' or something then lmao wtf, people are allowed to use slang instead of being obligated to use the ~correct~ terminology Nah this bullshit is why we are forced to say 'wear your face covering' instead of 'put on a mask' in retail and commercials and even PSAs in America so screw that. This isn't some Adobe™ Photoshop™ type situation where it's folks going 'well TECHNICALLY'. People do it because they're uncomfortable talking about the subject but I don't care, they can get over it and be adults, the time for playing off like it's just a thing you're doin' after work happened a couple hundred thousand unnecessary deaths ago edit: I say this because I had to really push my grandparents to actually go and get it, they were just gonna do it "when we go get our next round of shots" because people keep minimizing its importance CJacobs has a new favorite as of 00:28 on Apr 15, 2021 |

When a dump truck is just trundling down the highway with an unsecured load of some bullshit, branches and huge dirt clods and construction debris, and then having the absolute loving balls to be sporting a sticker that says NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BROKEN WINDSHIELDS! So I guess I can just drive around throwing, like, sandwich bags full of nails out of my windows as long as I put a sticker on my car that says NOTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOU IN MY PRESENCE IS MY FAULT

Tangentially related, but I remember being in middle school and throwing poo poo out the back of the bus on the freeway, those people looked pissed. Now that I'm old, I probably would have been too, but it was hilarious to be a little poo poo at the time. They didn't have a sticker like that on the back of the bus.

Those aren't legally binding fwiw. Turns out if you call the company and start talking about "dashcam footage" and "unsecured loads" and "getting police involved" the asshat construction managers will cough up a check for your windshield replacement in a real hurry.

I don't know which is more of a peeve, when Wish sends me stuff that is decidedly poo poo (a pair of bluetooth headphones that don't, directly, or through the manual, tells you which random gibberish is the item in question), or the fact that my racist-as-poo poo Dad's voice is still in my head and I can hear him being racist about 'lovely Japanese products'. Also in the theme of FWP, I want to go to the zoo, even when COVID is still a thing and it's not exactly walking-around-the-zoo weather.

Setting up a Call of Cthulhu group. Basically similar to DnD for those who dont know. To have a game it requires having 3-4 people online and they have to meet up consistently. I give out time zone. I set the time. Its 14:00-18:00 eastern time. Get loads of requests, half of them from the US basically signing up for playing a horror game at 8am on a saturday...

Unless people demonstrate themselves to be massive flakes, I don't see the problem here? If people want to play a horror game at 8am on the Saturday then... cool? Also where in the US are these people where 14:00 eastern equates to 8am?

I'm misunderstanding you a bit there. Are you upset that their timezones put them in the morning, and you're upset that they'd be playing a horror game in the cheery morning? Or is the issue that they're barreling through, going 'lol wut r tim zones?' and applying for the incorrect times? From playing some board games with goons online now and then, there are absolutely a bunch of americans up for playing games early in the morning, and as long as they show up it's all good. e: ^^^ beaten

I've always preferred playing horror games during the day rather than night because I'm a bit of a baby and the atmosphere often overwhelms me otherwise.

There's no day and night in the unfathomable depths of the ocean or the yawning celestial reaches, and the place where they fold in on each other is especially wonky time-wise. I don't think the sleeping gods mind terribly when you play!

I bought two cheapy bluetooth earbuds on wish for me and my partner, different brands and poo poo, and both don't even bother to tell me what name it sends to my phone. I know, get what you pay for, but I live in an apartment building, and at any one time I've got a handful of bluetooth devices my phone picks up. Just say "oh it'll pair with the name XXXX" so I don't try to attach to my downstair's neighbor's vibrator, or whatever.

The man in the apartment next to mine shares custody of his two teenaged sons, and when they stay with him, they continuously make thumping and banging noises against the floors and walls. What is so aggravating to me is that I can't figure out what they're doing over there to make those noises. It sounds like they're throwing furniture around or playing tackle football, for hours at a time. Just continuous, irregularly-patterned sounds of heavy things being hurled around the room and hitting the floor. I can hear them through the walls when they yell at each other, but they're not yelling when they make these noises, so I don't think they're fighting or rough-housing. What are they doing in there???

Inspector 34 posted:This reminds me of the groups of older/middle aged women who walk together in my neighborhood. They walk in the street instead of the sidewalk and always like 4-6 of them side by side completely oblivious to any cars coming up behind them. There is a reason sidewalks exist ladies! In my neighborhood it's always two people walking together, with strollers and a dog walking with traffic instead of against it and absolutely oblivious to anything around them. They don't even wave back when you drive around them.

I'm an upstairs neighbour but I'm generally conscientious about noise. I only have my TV and video games as loud as I need them to be to hear them properly, and while I've got back into practicing my piano I try to keep it to sociable hours, like middle of the day kind of time, not starting that before around 10am.

Sites with passwords that don't have a Show Password option. I bet the percentage of times I've had to change a password because I flubbed a single letter is over 50%.

I have a peeve in general for US-americans who have never been anywhere else and consider someone who can explain the difference between the UK and England fascinating, but insist that the USA is the worstest most dumb most nationalist nothing good ever happened here country But the person I'm dating is russian and we're livestreaming russian tv now, and holy poo poo russian tv. It's like someone took a parody of cartoony election coverage and made it russian. Russian tv is literally the worst US tv x1000000000000000000 The time they slaughtered all the nazis is still cool though.

Your password needs to be 17 characters long. It needs to have a mix of upper and lower case letters. It needs to contain at least 4 numbers and special characters. It can't start or end with a number. No exclamation points allowed, because of reasons. But we'll only tell you one of these rules at a time until you guess them all.
