Things That Annoy You

I dont use the subscribe button. Nothing is interesting enough to warrant it

I can usually manage to find what I'm looking for, but their system is incredibly convoluted.

Also, along the same vein: Infinite scroll. Especially on blogs, but it's annoying on any site.

Agreed so much on the infinite scroll. If a blog on tumblr has it on I usually don't get very far cause my computer hates loading it all. Give me pages, please. Any day.

Particularly when most Tumblrs are full of animated gifs and reaction images.

I got into an email-based shouting match with a relative today. I found out (from shoulder-surfing my mom while she was on FB) that she wants to use the Pearls' methods of child abuse discipline, as detailed in To Train Up A Child, on her firstborn daughter. You know, the book-turned-free-PDF that has a parent talking about how a child should have his or her will broken by the age of one year? The one that says children should be conditioned to immediately obey any command to avoid getting beaten? The one has has parents deliberately putting their kids into dangerous situations (near a pond, by an open stove, holding a gun...) and saying "No" to teach them obedience?
I read bits of TTUAC in order to better argue with my relative and found myself so severely disgusted I had to close the tab and look at kittens and corgis for a while. It's a manual for child abuse, wrapped in smug "righteousness". She insists it's not abuse, it's simply g-d's model for families and even goes so far as to claim anyone who doesn't beat their children hates them. Let me say it in internet shouty text: THIS BOOK ADVOCATES BEATING CHILDREN FOR ANY OFFENSE, NO MATTER HOW MINOR, UNTIL THEY SUBMIT COMPLETELY TO THEIR PARENTS.
If that's not child abuse, I'll eat my fedora with a fuckton of hot sauce and wash it down with razor blades.

People who say that they are "transabled"  piss me off.  Anybody who envies me for being disabled is stupid to want to be legally blind,  deaf in one ear, and unable to walk properly.

Everything about my ex, Devin, enrages me. EVERYTHING.

People who end their sentences with "lol", "lmao" or similar acronyms annoy me,  and it pisses me off when it's used after something offensive.

The "Faustimentalists vs Hasdrones" war in the Brony fandom makes me want to smack a bitch.

“…then use whatever force is necessary to bring him to bay. If you have to sit on him to spank him then do not hesitate. And hold him there until he is surrendered. Prove that you are bigger, tougher, more patiently enduring and are unmoved by his wailing. Defeat him totally. Accept no conditions for surrender. No compromise. You are to rule over him as a benevolent sovereign. Your word is final.”

I don't even know how to react at this point. My brain has just gone "Nope, fuck off, I'm done". I'm going to move on to bitching about stuff that will just make me look bad.

I hate people having more control over something I'm supposed to control than me. It's bad, and kinda pathetic, but I just hate feeling powerless. Been there far too often, and so fucking sick of it.

I remember talking about that book before. I am still astonished and disgusted that anyone could even consider tormenting their children like that.

[Witchyjoshy]

Odd, I can use it just fine :S

But I will agree it's getting worse as a site.

You mean the page where all of your subscribees' uploads are arranged in rows of four rather than a single column?

Eh?  I just use the front page.

And if I need more, I generally go to the specific Youtuber's page to look for videos that don't show up in my subscriber feed.

Like I've pretty much always done.  I've basically never used the "subscriptions page" to look at my subscriptions.

Well that explains that. For the past few months, the subscriptions page was been inaccessible unless you knew the URL (any links to it were disabled). Now Youtube has nuked it entirely, and we're all stuck using the incredibly shitty home page.

[Igor]

...it's right under "what to watch" on the left side of the main page, isn't it? It is for me...

[Art Vandelay]

Not that one. It was the one where your subscriptions' uploads were arranged in rows of four rather than a single collumn, so you didn't have to scroll down just to see more than the last three uploads. This ironically named video ought to clear up what I mean.

Years ago, there was an episode of Tales from the Darkside or something similar, where the father, a retired soldier, used bootcamp methods to discipline his son.  At one point, he told his son so stand in place and not move.  Then he accidentally fell into the swimming pool.  While he yelled for help, his son just stood there, exactly as he was ordered to do.

I think any parent who thinks of training their kid by that book should watch that episode.  Now if I can just remember the exact show it was on . . .

I got a cheap laptop for school work. It suits its purpose, but I'm still whinging that it won't let me play wow.

You have seriously fucked up relatives. Seriously, I don't even know what else to say about this. I think I might have to go look at some kittens too after  just imagining what your relative wants to do to her children.
