CelticPredator posted:Sometimes it does work?? Sure, sometimes it works. That's why, as you demonstrate, you remember the outliers in which it did work, rather than the countless times it didn't. Confirmation bias is a hell of a thing. Sure, I'll be pleased if Lucifer manages to get picked up somewhere else, but it was a bubble show and getting too worked up over a bubble show getting the axe is a waste of energy and effort. To see such waste, wait for it, is a pet peeve. Do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars, etc. MisterBibs has a new favorite as of 01:04 on May 13, 2018 |

My peeve relating to canceled shows is exactly the opposite; the people who, whenever someone dares so much as hint that they're sad that a show they liked got canceled, can't resist popping up talking about THIS IS HOW RATINGS WORK and TELEVISION IS A BUSINESS and shut the gently caress up I understand how it works, I just am not happy about it, okay? (To be clear, no one in this conversation right now is doing that.)

i hate 'Save Show X' campaigns because if it got cancelled, it was probably bad and deserved it, and really no tv show is so good that it's worth outing yourself as a person who cares that much about television take that passion and start a garden or something

Killingyouguy! posted:i hate 'Save Show X' campaigns because if it got cancelled, it was probably bad and deserved it, and really no tv show is so good that it's worth outing yourself as a person who cares that much about television Generally I agree but at least one time the continuation ended up being pretty good: Jericho. I can see why the ratings weren't great but I liked that show and the second season everyone asked for was just as good if not better. The thing I hate is when a show I like gets cancelled and all the "fan campaign" accomplishes is a comic series continuing it. I liked it as a TV show, if I wanted to read a comic book I would have done that from the beginning. It also pollutes any conversation about a show because the comic book people barge in saying "well in the comic.....".

The Zim comic owns. And I’m happy it exists as well as a new TV movie.

ulex minor posted:generally you agree shows get cancelled because they are bad except when it's a show you think is good I mean, yes, I did like it and was happy to see it back but that wasn't what I was talking about. I meant that usually when they give in and restart a cancelled show it seems to be poorly received, even if the original show was good. Jericho is an exception because the second season is generally higher rated than most of the original show.

Midig posted:I hate it when people say "I could care less", when we know they mean "I could not care less". I'm cool with this, because usually when people claim not to care about something, they actually do care about it. So "I could care less" actually ends up being correct.

My pet peeve is driving related. My commute involves a ramp that goes from 2 lanes to 1 lane that merges onto a highway. The assholes who go all the way to the very end practically scrapping against the guard rail then stopping dead and "merging" in (read cutting anyone off to get in). This causes tons of backlog traffic as assholes will cut off people slowing everyone down and people trying to not let them in (never works). If everyone played nice it would go a lot smoother, but that will never happen. 2nd peeve is people who tailgate. Does this ever work? When someone tailgates me I will match my speed with a car next to me just to piss them off.

Most tailgaters don't even realize that they are doing it. Sometimes it's road rage, but it's usually just poo poo driving.

Comics. Idk how people get through them. Even with great art that I’d love a print of, the format of sitting down and reading through it seems so tedious to me. I can enjoy a page or two though, so the internet is cool for people just posting screencaps of highlights. Two that I specifically remember are: one where 1940s Superman smashes up a bank Jesus-style and then delivers a Bernie Sanders speech, and one where, after the red scare comic codes end I think, the real Captain America shows up and berates the comic code rear end in a top hat Right Wing Ultrapatriot Cap, and maybe outs him as a nazi impersonator.

People you barely know who post birthday greetings on your Facebook. Like, your husband and I were friends years ago but now only really see each other once or twice a year at parties we both happen to be invited to, and you yourself I would probably walk straight by in the street without recognising - so why are you acknowledging my birthday? We're basically strangers. What are you getting out of this? What am I supposed to be getting out of it?

Tiggum posted:Yes. Sick! May birthdays are pretty ok. That said, I kind of agree. I don’t have many people on facebook but that just makes it even weirder when people I otherwise never hear from post a single, unembellished “happy birthday” on my wall. I always feel compelled to comment, but never know what’s appropriate. “Thanks, how have you been for the last four years?” just seems rude - though I can’t explain why.

They should just do away with the birthday notification thing. If you are close enough to wish each other happy birthday every year, you should just know when it is without a thing coming up guilting you into saying something. Plus it's just depressing when you're still friends with dead people and you get that yearly reminder of "oh yeah, I haven't thought about this friend dying in a while, thanks facebook". There are people that post happy birthday wishes every year that are enthusiastic like "hope you have a great one!" and I have to wonder if they realize he's dead.

It's easier to just continue pretending they don't exist.

Facebook "reminded" me about my wifes birthday recently...at 3pm on the day. Gee, thanks for the heads up. Not like I've already given her presents ![]() Even if I had forgotten a birthday, thats too late! Remind me 2 days before so I can get something.

Comics and wrestling are two things that sound fun when their fans talk about them but that I cannot get myself into at all (partially because there are too many comics. To me it’s like if I just now decided to get into music). I enjoy learning silly things about them from people who care.

My birthday is no joke september 11th. I am so sick of everyone who cards me or learns my birthday commenting on it. I turned nine and got a gameboy advance, I didn’t really comprehend or care about how tragic it was. Incidentally I remember sitting with my grandma playing pokemon sapphire on that very same gameboy advance when dubya gave his ultimatum on tv declaring Not-War on Iraq.

That thing in TV shows and movies where someone makes a heroic sacrifice to buy everyone else time to escape, and everyone just stands there and watches, making it completely pointless.

And the way it gets drawn out. "Go!" *Stares intensely* "Get out of here!" *Tears in eyes* I'm not leaving you!" "I'm dead anyways, go!" "You can make it!" "There's nothing left for me out there; at least this way I can buy you some time!" *Shaking head, lip shaking* "Run!" "It's not worth it!" "Remember what I told you when this all started?" "I- I can't just go!" "There's no other choice!" *Looks at bad guys who have been coming around the corner, shooting, for five minutes now* "But--" "Run, you fool!" *The realization dawns that they must escape now* "I'll come back for you!" "I've always loved you!" *Tearful close-up* *Tearful close-up* *Tearful close-up* *Whispering* "go"

One of my favorite take-offs on this was the series finale of Seinfeld, when they get sent to prison for a year: Elaine: "David?" Puddy: "Yeah?" Elaine: "Don't wait for me." Puddy: "Okay." *Walks out*

Along that line but with any movie about an infection/zombie outbreak. Discuss the plan BEFORE you get bit! Do you want your loved ones to kill you right then or give you a few minutes (depending on how fast you turn)? Peeve: any studies that say we shower too much. gently caress you, I shower 1-3 times a day because I work in a physically demanding job, and it's over 100 here on a good day, and 24 hour deodorant is a LIE.

People who give advice that have no business giving advice. Our neighbor, who literally has not mowed his grass this year, told us we should cut our grass a little higher because we're "scalping" it. Yes, you moron, a 3-4 inch tall grass is going to look scalped compared to your 2 foot tall jungle ![]()

The words "yummy", "ooey gooey", and "scrummy". gently caress off, you sound like you're speaking toddler language and the sound of it puts me off food. Also gently caress people making sex noises in food commercials. Specifically in those new "food interpreter" commercials McDonald's is doing. Nobody should go "mmmMmmmMm" while they eat it's gross you sound gross.
