...the whole gift giving thing is overrated to be honest. We rarely know what people want.

Gift giving wouldn't even be so hard if it weren't for the weird performative mindset people have of "the gift giver must read my mind and absolutely know what I want, and I'll be upset if they don't know". Just either be blunt and tell them, send them a list of things you'd like and have them pick from it, or just be grateful that someone thought of you and gave you something.

Yesterday I clicked on some video, only to realize what happens in the title is 19 minutes into the 20 minute video. Clickbait should be banned.

I only bothered to watch because somebody in the comments section posted the time stamp.

The worst is the modern foodtubers who rarely show the recipe they make in full and, rather than give you the full recipe in the video or comment section, will tell you to go to their blog or buy it from their cookbook/app.

It reminds me of a YouTube video I watched that was about cutting bangs as DIY. It should have taken one or two minutes but it took five or ten.

Those gifs wouldn't look so grainy if they saved them as their original size and design instead of optimizing like most people do.

I’m speaking from a position of illiteracy here. I barely understand how to make a looping picture on ezgif. It just seems every website has its own gif rules, hence the shoddy optimization.

Come to think of it, I almost got suspended from a forum (won’t name names, but he has a thread in the TGWTG section) because people kept posting that Sisko facepalm from Deep Space Nine. Apparently it was “using too much bandwidth." What a cheap asshole.

When you don't realize a page hasn't loaded completely when you click something, so you end up clicking the wrong link because everything shifted the moment you clicked.

This one website at work is notorious for this - you'd think I'd have the muscle memory by now to click below the link.
 
For me, it's when a business or organisation jews you in some way or another, but rectifying the issue is like some fucking Clockwork Orange Franz Kafka Terry Gilliam's Brazil fever dream.

The website redirects you in a circle a thousand times before you finally find a phone number, and when you call it you have to wait on hold for an hour to get through. There's no e-mail. The offices are closed any time normal people are free. You know the system is glitched but there's no recourse in the system to get a real person to look at it.

That is the kind of thing that makes me the rabidly, mouth foaming, irrational boner kind of angry. It happened to me today.

Side question but why do you get a boner when you are pissed off like this, like what did evolution mean by that
 
Several things currently
1. The cost/quality of everything, especially food.
2. The lack of customer service.
3. That pooner in the fallout TV show.

I’m intimately acquainted with the Dunkin five-dollar meal. Not because it’s good. I wouldn't feed this stuff to a raccoon.

The commercials are bad, too. Grimacing actors who are contractually obligated to like this slop.
 
1. People who let their dogs walk and run around a store without a leash.

2. When I sit at a bench and have to in a tiny corner because the entire bench is taken by a homeless person and all their shit.

I got three days off because my boss thought I was gonna show up with the Communist Manifesto or some shit. Anyway, I’ve been watching a ton of TV, and I gotta ask...has there ever been a long-running show that did a “let’s go to a foreign country” episode anyone actually likes? The Simpsons doesn't count.

.My fridge isn't working properly.
.Make an appointment for the maintenance man.
.Maintenance man shows up.
.He barely fixes anything and all he pretty much does is adjust the temperature.
.Because of this my food is now going bad.

Now I have to call the maintenance man to show up again because he didn't even do anything the first time.
 
It’s not even something that annoys me, it’s just data: every Bostonian I meet is like 40, bald, and his whole affect is this exhausted, performative machismo.
