Social media is just fucked with the little things like that. Eg on YouTube they refuse to let you turn off autoplay on your Watch Later playlist. Not only is it annoying if you’re in the middle of reading or posting a comment and are suddenly taken away to the next video, but I swear they do it to soak up as much ad revenue as possible by making sure you start watching more videos than otherwise.
Social media creeps ever closer towards Fifteen Million Merits every year, and it’s fucking disgusting. It’s a shame that Facebook and YouTube each occupy such large places in modern culture.
Living with $800 a month
Another gripe about youtube is forcing 30 videos I've already seen or that have zero fucking relevance at the top of the sidebar meanwhile only 2 related videos are buried to the bottom.
Okay here’s one thing that shits me right off: the fingerprint scanner on my iPhone is absolutely hopeless, and never works when I need it to.
My car doesn’t have CarPlay nor even Bluetooth; I have to use good old aux. I have a secure dash mount for my phone, so I don’t have to fumble around for my phone when I want to swipe left or right in Spotify to change song. The fingerprint scanner function is fantastic when it actually works, so I can log in to Spotify and change song without taking my eyes off the road.
But the fingerprint scanner never fucking works, and if the touch ID thing fails 3 times, you have to enter your passcode. So then I have to momentarily take my eyes off of the road to enter my passcode, which is really dangerous. I’ve resorted to simply removing touch ID / passcode log in, but now I’m fucked if I lose my phone.
"I once played Skyrim for three hours straight, got an A- on a math test and used a keygen once! I'm such a huge nerd!!"
No. That's like calling yourself "the ultimate jock" because you played one game of basketball in PE class. No.
'Nerd' culture is the latest trend. Expect people to try and submerge themselves in it whilst also absolutely failing to do it convincingly.
Anywho, I wouldn't say the following made me mad, but instead kinda...uneasy and freaked out? I understand, at least on a basic level, how cookies & personalised advertising works (doesn't make it any less weird), and I've begrudgingly accepted it. However, about 5 days ago I, without my phone on my person at the time btw, went to the shop and bought some Quorn because it was on sale. Come home, and about 85% of ads that I've encountered ever since, whether that be on my phone or laptop, are all about Quorn, and I have no fucking clue how this works, and whether or not it's just really weird convenience. I probably seem like a conspiracy nut for finding this weird, but stuff like this genuinely sends a chill down my spine because I'm very reluctant to consider this a coincidence, especially since I didn't know websites like YouTube even had Quorn ads. But now they apparently do, and they just so happened to reach me at the most oh so spontaneously fitting time.
Minor gripe but....
Why do strategy games have to try to make you feel bad about dismissing units? I've been playing Final Fantasy Tactics lately and I have Chocobos that are breeding out of control. I start to thin the herd by dismissing some of them and it's like

Like fuck offfff. The guilt trip is just annoying. Human characters beg you not to let them go, like they're going to start cutting themselves again if you leave them. Is that what you want??
Instead of dismissing I've taken to dragging these units into battle and killing them for their pelts, which surprisingly gives you a pleasant jingle and cheap items in the Poacher's Den so idkwtf they're trying to do with this shit.
I work at a healthcare facility that caters to many "VIP" and "Classified/Confidential" patients that are brought over from the military base in my town.
Do you have any motherfucking idea how many passwords in this fucking place are literally.. just.. "password"

But it's on the first god damn "page" so you have to click load more another 50 times to get back where you were. Whoever started this stupid infinite page thing needs to get slapped because not only is it a pain in the ass to navigate it eventually slows the browser to a crawl.
Oh yeah I get that but you have a hard cap on the number of units you're allowed to have at one time and monster party members breed and multiply even if you only have one. You have to do something about them in order to avoid the unit cap. It seems a little silly to get dialogue like I'm doing something bad when it's a fairly routine part of the game.
so i just got a new graphics and i was given a code to get Battlefield 5 or Anthem and it doesn't fucking work
Dear almost all movies,
Stop using bombastic, quasi-chipper orchestra music that makes my ears hate themselves. Please change this in the future. Thanks in advance for understanding.
thanks.
So,my iphone battery drained extremely fast,so i asked my mom to purchase a new battery.
She said its better to get new one,so we discussed with my brother which phone is the best for me.
The next day,my the mother told me that my relative mother purchased me one without telling us.
I got it,but the phone is kinda like expensive crap,because:
-Low storage (I saw on storage is 16Gb,but actually only 8gb available for use)
-Poor performance (Frequent freeze and stuck keyboard)
-Can't fucking move my app to sd card
Part of me want to get angry because its crappy shit (Especially i can't move my app to Sd card)
The other one told me to be grateful that i got free phone
Moral of story:Always check the spec before buying
Just because the brand often appears on tv doesn't mean said brand is always good.
why must people cruise in the passing lane? if you're going to make the effort to lane shift twice, at least make the effort to go faster. people really lack some serious spatial awareness to not notice the pile-up of cars behind their 2006 honda cr-v as they're yapping on the phone
Even worse is when they're next to a very slow accelerating big rig and make sure to match the whole speed every time. This happens a lot on 31 which gives us every fucking red light. Also people who time lights to turn red right when you get to it should be forced to drive through 50 of them.
Where the fuck these flying ants comes into my house,on goddamn second floor
Like really,i have to sweep em using broom since i can't risk them getting swarmed by ants
I am so weak that I even got sore muscles in my whole hand just by going bowling for the first time. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to whipe your ass with the wrong hand? It's a fucking nightmare
Co-workers who drink themselves sick and call in every weekend.
There's no megathread for the new Metro game, and I'm too retarded to make one on my own. :L
Even worse I reckon is when people try to merge onto a motorway while going substantially slower than the motorway traffic. ‘Oh there are trucks flying by on the motorway at 110km/h? I know what to do, I’m going to merge in front of them while only doing 70km/h’.
It is so fucking unsafe but yet so many people do it. They even make the on-ramps downhill so that drivers can match the motorway speed in time. But no one does.
So I got an iPhone 7 a while back and it is perhaps one of my more regretful purchases. I don’t know how they managed it, but it is one of the most terribly designed devices I have ever used. Reasons include:
the volume and power buttons are at the exact opposite ends of the device. To apply force to a button to push it, you need to apply an opposite force on the other side. That means that when I want to adjust the volume, I keep on accidentally pressing in the power button and turning the screen off
The fingerprint scanner never fucking works
The protruded rear camera lens thing is one of the most idiotic design choices ever made. I can’t believe something like that made its way to the end product
The materials are so slippery and it makes the phone really awkward to hold. It just won’t sit still in your hand
Software quirks too. Eg it’s pathetic that they continue with the change volume display being an opaque box that takes up a substantial chunk of the middle of the screen, and hangs around for a few seconds
I have no fucking idea how a multi billion dollar company would think any of the above would be acceptable design choices. It just boggles my mind that Apple designers are somehow okay with their products
I'm quite fond of the Android Pie and OnePlus approach to the volume and power buttons. The bar for volume appears next to the buttons themselves (depending where the hardware buttons are on the device) and disappear as soon as you've stopped adjusting the settings. The same applies to folders and turning the iPhone off, there shouldn't need to be a large icon that takes up most of the display for a single option like turning the phone off, or looking through folders.

The same applies to folders.
To be fair, I actually like that. It shows you're about to do something relatively important. My Note 8 does the same thing.
Got a letter from my old apartment saying I owe almost €1000 in unpaid municipal taxes.
Turns out my old scummy landlord claimed I still live there and that I owe the taxes instead of him as he's not found a new tenant.
That sounds illegal as fuck. Didn't you sign any sort of papers that show when your lease ends?
Want to reinstall skyrim into different directory,backed up my custom sound files and my Player-exclusive animation.
When i nuked it,those 2 folders gone,even though i already moved it into another folder (Perhap nexus can detect the folder outside the Skyrim one)
Well,here goes my hours of work sorting the animation and configuring the sound files
After 5 years, GTAV is still plagued with blatant gameplay problems since release like:
Broken NPC/COP spawning system that spawns enemies way too close/right behind you
Blatantly cheating Police A.I.
Player blips being visible to everyone in a session (What is the point of this other than to give a huge advantage to greifers?)
Can not switch shoulders in 3rd person, even though this was a thing in RDR, which was before GTAV and even used the same engine
Completely inconsistent vehicle crashing. Crashing into a wall straight on won't make you fly out the windshield, yet going 20 mph while turning into a small rock somehow causes your character to fly at 10x the speed you were going at and in a 45 degree angle to where your velocity even was? If the issue is where I think it is, then it is super, super easy to fix.
Characters calling you all the time with the same recorded dialogue you've already heard a thousand times before. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad if it didn't happen DURING COMBAT and it didn't AUTOMATICALLY HOLSTER YOUR WEAPON
Yes but if the landlord doesn't declare it (as he didn't) then it doesn't automatically end.
In any case I have evidence that I no longer live there so I'm not gonna have to pay it but I'll need to go to a civil court thing probably.
Getting this shit suddenly since a few days ago. It'll do this a few times then just load the video. Getting really fucking annoying.

When you finally find a good server with more than enough players and excellent ping, and then everyone votekicks you 0.5 seconds later for absolutely no reason. I love when a bunch of random people just decide "no! you don't get to play and that's final!!! >={{" Bonus points if it's a game where you can't really cheat or grief anyway, almost negating the reason for a votekick/ban feature in the first place.
