start a victory garden and ration your IRRATIONALLY ANGRY feelings, part 3

Is that posted because Cuba is actually in the northern hemisphere, or because of the recursion?

In communist cuba, star looks at you.

Amazon reviews not being edition specific is a right pain too.

That I had to go and get management to sort out buzzing distortion on film sound before Birdman.
Not sure what it was cos I don't know the equipment. It got sorted pretty rapidly when I told them.

Am left wondering if other people recognised it wasn't likely to right itself. Or what the problem was. A whole range tinnily distorting. Right on the frequency or whatever people talk on.

Got sorted right in the middle of the 50 Shades of Grey trailer. The existence of that film/book series is bad enough itself

signage or printed materials that have e' instead of é, i mean COME THE FUCK ON YOU HAVE A POWERFUL COMPUTER IN FRONT OF YOU SURELY YOU CAN FIGURE OUT HOW THE FUCK TO MAKE é APPEAR!!!

It looks so weirdly sloppy and awful!!! I HATE IT SO MUCH

Had Tea' as a name in a story last week. Not Téa, as in Fox Mulder's wife, or even Teá, but T-e-a-apostrophe.

It's got to be hard for Americans who have an accent mark in their names. And some people get named with inappropriate apostrophes.

Amazon reviews not being edition specific is a right pain too.

It bugs me when people give a low rating to a product b/c a seller screwed up delivery, or on Netflix when a movie when the quality of sound is bad. They fuck the ratings.

What I was referring to was Amazon having reviews of all versions of the same recording mixing together in a hodge podge so you can't really tell if a certain version is the one to get because all other issues of the record will be grouped together.
Or even all recordings under the same title when it comes down to an artist having both an lp named after what goes onto become a hit song which in turn leads to various compilations having the same title.
Thankfully there are a few other places where you can check different editions but it would make things a lot easier if Amazon made it policy to separate reviews for the editions they were intended for.
Not sure if taht was clear from earlier post.

My first name is Tre. T-R-E. But thanks to this joker:

I get called Tré every so often. As if my name is French for "very" instead of Italian for "three".

2 big ones

-how insanely difficult it is to plug a cord into a power outlet in the dark
-how when you're outside and on the phone with a business, somewhere in their automated menu tree, and every time a slight breeze comes up the business thinks you are saying something so the whole process gets reset or messed up

how insanely difficult it is to plug a cord into a power outlet in the dark

arrrrgggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh SO ANGRY! For a while I had only 1 bedside outlet to share between my lamp and my phone charger, and this was HELL. It would have been quicker to just get out of bed and turn on the overhead light but NO THEN THE FUCKING PLUG WINS

-having to press number options for support calls on a mobile phone

choice between not hearing half the options because you're fucking around trying to get the keypad to pop up and the screen to stop going dark or putting the thing on loudspeaker and irrationally angering those around you

The top pin on my three pin plug for my phone charger folds down on a pointless hinge mechanism. This makes it almost impossible to use in the dark. The pin moves slightly down of its on volition and the pins then don't line up with the holes.

I get a strange feeling of victory when I manage to shock myself by touching the prongs on a plug when I'm plugging something in, sight unseen. It's a victory tingle.

i heard another promo for ~invisibilya~ and i think one of the more annoying things about it is that the hosts sound like they are trying to make their topic sound sexy with their intonation, tone of voice, etc. like covertly. yuk.

fucking slobs in our office bathroom who can't take time to discard paper towel IN the trash, just let it fall to the floor in the general direction

there's a recessed trashcan in the wall under the papertowel dispenser and a freestanding trashcan by the door

there's always a paper towel on the floor by one trashcan or the other & it makes me INSANE

Well.

Man, I thought Lee Renaldo would accomplish so much more after Sonic Youth broke up.

mm hmm

Woke up angry in the most irrational way. I had a dream I was at the doctor and somebody took the turkey leg and thigh I'd brought and roasted, leaving me with a semi-cooked lump of gristly beef. I got so upset that I said unforgivable things to my closest friends. I woke up growling and grinding my teeth and I still feel angry :(

this is a really irrational one, but i lurk on some weight-loss message boards and everyone there talks about their "journey," which i find off-putting for reasons i can't articulate. i don't know whether it's because it's sort of a new-age cliche, or because it seems a little melodramatic to describe shedding some pounds in the same language as going on an epic trip around the globe. but weight loss is a very emotional process and it changes your life for sure. so i feel like an asshole for wanting people to "use other words please."

Ha, totally with you on that one. But I don't like 'journey' even to describe life's big upheavals. The happy-balanced-eating board I'm on tends to talk in 'process' terms and I like that. They are also quick to admit being put off by anyone who uses what they call 'woo'. There's a hell of a lot of it about when people talk about fat loss on the internet.

also, "journey" implies an endpoint and if you struggle with your weight, there really is no endpoint in your lifetime. you can't take a journey on a treadmill.

They get around that by talking about 'evolving journeys', 'continuing journeys', etc. If you see life as a journey, I guess perspectives on weight, food, movement and so on are just a sub-narrative of your journey.

five year mission to seek out new snacks and new civilizations

mustard that tastes primarily of vinegar

the tube-style packaging for shampoo where the lid is on the bottom -- the lid ends up filling with water while it's in the shower caddy so the next time I go to use it, cold water comes out when I open the cap and uuuuuuuuuuuugh

i swear I'll never buy that kind of packaging again but inevitably once a year I forget :(

... how can the lid end up filling up with water? sounds like a faulty lid

water runs down the tube into the cap
& under the cap itself

tilt the tube even slightly and water comes out, or when u open it

that's really stupid, with that design, water should drip around the cap. i've used tons of those bottom-cap tubes in the bathroom and never had that problem

argh yes! j'accuse, head & shoulders.

There are a number of shampoos and face and body washes that are packaged that way and they're terrible. It's not just the cold water dripping out, but they also grow black mold. They're disgusting.

VG, I think you've posted about your IA about product design before and I think we could base a FAP around the topic. Tonight I bought Tums antacid mints with a foil seal without a tab to remove it and having to use my knuckle to unseal it bugged the shit out of me.

ugh! i hate that!

totally down for product design fap

With you on those caps. Also I have ia towards screw caps because I always end up trying to screw the cap on with one hand full of shampoo/holding my toothbrush with the toothpaste on it, or whatever.

Not having the facility to lay fabric out at full length so I didn't see that if I changed what I was laying out I could have had jeans as well as a jacket out of the length. So I now have a piece i could have substituted another fabric for cut out of this one fabric and have still to cut something I really have to use this fabric for out of the area i could have cut the jeans from.
I could have cut it from the area I used for the thing I should have substituted/gone int the contrast fabric for. & this thing won't look good with this other piece cut out of the contrast, since it looks like cartoon flowers and would have looked good for the smaller area this is covering not the larger area that has to be covered. - the inner rather than the outer sleeve.
Maybe it will teach me better to think through the possibilities of laying out instead of cutting when I'm half ready but is a major drag.

that was always my biggest failing in dressmaking. i never economized the space of the fabric well enough. it's hard!!
