Things That Annoy You

[chitoryu12]

On my old computer I suffered a problem with the playback: it would play the video without audio, pause the video after 7 or 8 seconds while the audio played, and then begin playing the video when it matched up.

It happened if I left Chrome running too long, and I think it had something to do with the increasing amounts of memory being used by the browser slowing everything down gradually until I closed it.

Am I the only one experiencing a weird bug with YouTube where it'll play for a bit, then play the previous few seconds of audio again, while stalling the video?  Like...you're 12 seconds in, but the video hiccups, pauses, and the audio cuts back to 8 seconds in.  Its really beginning to grate.

No, you are not. Whenever the video resolution changes (either automatically or manually), it does that.

I don't know what the fuck's been going on with Youtube in the past fortnight or so, but they really need to get their shit together.

I have that problem, too.

Yeah, me too. YouTube has become quite the irritation. It's the only place I can watch the LPs I enjoy, but the videos shit themselves on a daily basis. They'll either refuse to play in fullscreen, they'll have the aforementioned issue with sound, or they'll just completely crash and tell me to try again later. Google really needs to stop sucking pure ass.

I had almost all of my issues with YouTube on my old computer, which was already lacking in power and rapidly became rather bloated. It couldn't even run anything in HD because not only did it refuse to stream unless the video was playing, but just streaming HD video was enough to turn it into a chugfest.

I just read an article written by a mom who was complaining about her toddler being overweight. Rather than take responsibility for feeding him too much crap, she said GMOs were to blame. Fuck you, irresponsible parent.

My female friend's roommate thinks I'm flirting with my friend and is getting ridiculously rude and defensive, and now I'm being told that I seem like I'm hitting on her.

I seriously had to say "What kind of weirdo flirts by talking about lesbians making condom balloon animals?"

[ironbite]

......you know that's a good question.

[chitoryu12]

And now I'm finding out that my HHN castmates were spreading rumors about me behind my back and outright lying about shit I said about my friends.

This is all sounding like a repeat of October. There was a girl in that cast who thought I was hitting on her (I called her pretty on Facebook once, and I saw her outside of work less than everyone else on that cast), so she complained to the stage manager instead of talking to me about it. I didn't know anything was going on until I was put in front of a woman from HR and had it laid out for me.

This kind of shit is exactly why I barely talk to anyone from that cast except my closer friends from it. You don't hear about what you're supposedly saying or doing until months after the fact if you're lucky. If you're unlucky, you're hauled into Human Resources and find out that people are saying shit that could get you fired. It's like high school, only with people who are nominally adults.

Had this wonderful fucking conversation with someone today:

Them: What, so you don't think there's anything else beyond this life?
Me: No.
Them: So it all just stops? You think that you just don't exist once you die?
Me: Yes, actually. I don't see any evidence otherwise. Not saying I couldn't be wrong, just that I don't see any evidence for an afterlife.
Them: What, so you think your grandpa (who died just last week, mind you) just doesn't exist anymore?

And now they're wondering why I'm so angry with them.

Can you imagine if this conversation had been flipped around, and I'd sarcastically said something like, "So you think your *insert loved one here* is flying around in heaven?" to someone right after that person had died? I'd be crucified, and rightly so. Yet apparently the same rules of human decency don't apply to atheists.

This makes me want to punch somebody. Preferably the sociopath who actually said that to another human being.

[The Right Honourable Mlle Antéchrist]

I'd be lying if I said there wasn't a tiny piece of me that wanted to punch her when she first said it. I've cooled off a bit since, though, so I'm pretty much content with waiting until tomorrow to calmly discuss it with her.

I answered a similar asshole comment over my mom's death with, "She suffered at the end. That her suffering ended instantly into oblivion is just as welcome a thought for me as your vision of angel wings is for you."

I really like Big Red chewing gum, but they stopped selling it in the UK about 15 years ago and the only time I get any is when my nan comes back from her holidays to America.

I found a few packets that I had forgot about last night and was so excited by this discovery that I ended up chewing a whole and now eating is quite uncomfortable.

So I open up my new Anno 2070: Complete Edition PC game, which includes four DLC packs!

"Exclusive unlockable contents may only be unlocked one single time with a unique key."

Forgive me if I'm misinterpreting, but what the hell? I legitimately purchase this game brand new and it won't let me install the DLC as many times as I want? I bought and now own this thing, so I should be able to do whatever non-illegal thing I want with it, shouldn't I? I don't see what this is meant to accomplish, apart from pissing off legitimate buyers.
