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

Concert venues where ticket holders and seekers have to stand in the same damn line
― Hammer Smashed Bagels, Sunday, February 15, 2015 4:43 PM

Or even if they don't there is usually never any kind of signage as to who stands where and if you ask the people already in line or the security guys they just grunt and stare at you so you stand around for ages wondering if you'll make it in even though you've already paid for tickets

Firefox supposedly reopening on the pages you closed it on but instead reopening to pages you were on much earlier.

It's taken me forever to figure out how to stop Firefox from doing that. I don't want all my old pages opened. Sometimes, they're the ones that caused the crash in the first place and when Firefox tries to open them all back up again, guess what happens.

I admit, I'm not the greatest user. Sometimes I'll look up and realize I've got 30 tabs open. My solution is to close the entire window and open a new one. But at the end of the day, I'll just quit all at once.

POint with me was that I did want it reopening the windows that were open when i shut down but it seems to bookmark at some earlier stage. Don't know when exactly. is it being overloaded by having a few windows open?

Get a session manager add-on. Whichever one I use is very helpful, though I got under the hood a little too deep and muffed up something up. Now it re-opens to pages I will not visit until years in the future.

When people ask me to remind them about something later. Take a load off Annie.

Today I learned that the lyrics are "Take a load off Fanny" which name/word's first meaning for me is has become the British one.

When I scroll down to read the comments/info under a youtube video (yes, I know, my gravest mistake right there) and then I want to go back to seeing the video and I press the Home key, which rewinds the video to the beginning

(all other overriding of scrolling keys like up/down arrows also pisses me off but this is the worst. THE WORST.)

online & podcast film/tv critics who are pathologically hung up on plausibility and often employ the phrases "totally took me out of it" "you have to follow the rules of the world you create"

idk I mean I'm completely eyeroll-y at people who hem and haw about "plot holes" for films like Batman (srsly saw a 35+ post thread about whether it was possible for Batman to escape the nuclear detonation in Dark Knight Rises), but I do think films should be internally consistent at least.

these two doofuses rolled up in a van behind me tonight at the gas station. waiting for my pump. apparently the two unoccupied pumps on the other side that were unobstructed by any object or vehicle were insufficient or they were unfamiliar with the concept of turning around. went inside to the food mart after gassing up, coming back out minutes later to see them still waiting behind my car, waiting for my pump at an empty gas station.

fuckin eyeroll nonsense imo. you are 100% notm

TO THE BATTHREAD

just 35+ seems awful low for a superhero-related argument tbf

(ftr if anyone can escape a nuclear detonation it's batman i mean come on)

oh what he's got his anti fuckin nuclear cape on that day bollocks

five posts and counting let's make this happen guys

anti fuckin nuclear cape and cowl

idgaf if he was wearing simon cowl he's the worlds richest rarebit after that blast

c'mon man he's the fuckin' batman - his superpower is being prepared for everything! no way would a mere trifle like being at ground zero of a colossal nuclear explosion do anything other than maybe ding one of his cowl's ears.

all this so he could what take a sneaky fortnight off in Paris with some chick from work? bollocks.

actually it's pretty well-documented that the batman is skilled in bomb disposal:

I think everyone has their own level of how much internal inconsistency/implausibility they accept. My brother drives me nuts on this, he will dare to enjoy literally ANY FILM even when major plot points hinge on complete nonsense and won't be argued into not enjoying it. 'it was fun, you shouldn't read too much into it' gahh

Never watch season 2 of broadchurch btw

love that neither the nuns or the mom are phased by the bomb in the least

"oh look it's Batman - go get em tiger!"

The kind of stuff I'm talking about is this: I heard some guy from Battleship Pretension saying he couldn't watch "Jane the Virgin" because they have a multi-generational household in it, and he didn't think it was realistic that people would want to live with their grandparents. Another guy pointed out that such households are common, especially in lower income families. The first guy's response was "Okay. But I wasn't buying it. It took me out of it." The fuck?

That gif perfectly describes my current work status.

That Jane the Virgin critic is a wiener.

xp that is unreal.

PEOPLE WHO SNEEZE LOUDLY

my irrational explanation is that they need to get laid or have better sex

he couldn't watch "Jane the Virgin" because they have a multi-generational household in it, and he didn't think it was realistic that people would want to live with their grandparents.

The whole of Italy and Greece would like to have a word with this chap.

PEOPLE WHO SNEEZE LOUDLY

This is very IA-inducing. Also multiple-sneezers. Even if it's like, a family member who suffers from seasonal allergies and I KNOW he is miserable and doesn't want to be sneezing. After like the 6th sneeze I want to scream at him to shut up.

Also I'm sure I've mentioned this in a previous thread but it cannot be overstated: people with colds who sniff constantly instead of using a goddam tissue. Especially in quiet commuter trains.

The obnoxiously bright sound of the Martin "phosphor bronze" strings I just put on my guitar. So assy.

Oh man I am a hardcore serial sneezer and I try not to be too loud but sometimes after the fourth one I just have to really let loose so I can stop fucking sneezing.

Anyway, constant sniffing makes me utterly completely bananas and I hate it.

Also, one of my favorite tweets that I think about a lot: https://twitter.com/karenkilgariff/status/488154696557662208

Here's something for the thread: K's third bday party last weekend. Woman we used to be closer to, now divorced with new weird boyfriend, shows up very late, with boyfriend and WITHOUT her son (excuse about last minute problem with ex, but who the fuck comes to a kid bday without a kid?!), and the second they come in they corner me and start pitching me their new business idea in this very obviously practiced but terrible speech. With perspective, it seems more sad than IA-making, but at the moment I really felt like these people were violating something important to me.

I had to cut them off because H was telling me it was time to bring out the cake and they were oblivious and continued to spew their bad business idea. Definitely never inviting them again.

OK, I can get wanting to come anyway without kid in tow if reasons neccesitate and yr close, but yeah thats way out of line. Ugh!

I sneeze loudly, need to get laid, and have better sex. Thread otm.

same

xp I never really thought of her as close to the point of coming to my kid's bday without their kid, although I guess she's more H's friend than mine. It also came in a context of this hardly being the first odd shit she's ever done.

a good loud sneeze does feel heavenly, i do admit

One of the managers in my office does this insanely loud HAAAA CHOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW sneeze that is so ridiculously theatrical and loud, it cannot be necessary. It scares the shit out of everyone when it happens.

gtfo I'll sneeze how I want its a little orgasm and its all mine

geez ok i take back the sex thing, sorry

Woman on a plane sneezes loudly several times within a minute and furrows her brow.

Woman next to her says, Are you ok?

Sneezer says Yeah, I'm fine. I just have this condition where every time I sneeze, I have an orgasm.

Oh, my, says the second woman. Are you taking anything for it?

Yes, says the first woman. Pepper.

I do not like thee, Doctor Fell,
The reason why - I cannot tell;
But this I know, and know full well,
I do not like thee, Doctor Fell

For Doctor Fell, substitute a certain coworker whom I'm not going to name here. Difficulty: He is the in-office trainer, and I need his approval if I am to be certified as an HTML prepper.

is that in case HTML takes over the world and we all die in anguish

I'm trying to use Google Calendar for the first time and I am losing my fucking mind because there is no margin at the bottom of the page. Is there a way to create one? My eyes and sanity can't handle it.

Given that the job involves the preparation and distribution of U.S. Federal Government documents, the idea of going off the grid and living off the land in, say, rural Montana has a greater appeal than is normal for me.

I am on a web meeting/presentation deal where there's slides on the computer and then a conference call for the audio, and someone is on the call without muting his phone and is snorting and sniffing and blowing his nose pretty much constantly and I'm torn between being grossed out, amused, irrationally angry, and irrationally embarrassed about it.

Just politely ask them to put mute on. Happens all the time.

If I were a presenter, I would but as a participant, I would feel presumptuous.
