Things That Annoy You

[Sigmaleph]

People using phrases like "I want this game to have a diverse protagonist". Diversity is a property of a group, meaning that its has multiple elements which are different from each other in some relevant way. It doesn't make sense to speak of a single person being diverse. I know what they are trying to say, but it still bothers me.

When people get in their cars and immediately pull out without checking for other vehicles on the road, almost crashing into them.

That happened to us.

So, I've been on the east coast for about a week now, and the big thing is drivers. More specifically driver in NYC. Is there some genetic defect that makes everyone an asshole when they get behind the wheel?

There was a beetle in the salad at the cantina today.

Ew.

It's a cultural thing:

1. NYC is a very fast-paced town where shit has to get done ASAP and competition is high. Chances are every local driver is in a hurry.

2. Because of how slow and inefficient cars are in the city, the only people driving (outside of clueless tourists) are going to be either business drivers on a tight schedule or people who are find taking public transportation undesireable in some manner. Those are generally your one percenters who don't want to be exposed to the poorer folk, like my grandmother.

Someone on facebook said "ordasity." They were trying to say "audacity." I can't even.

I'm trying to validate my account on Telltale's website, but every time I do, even if I do it within seconds of sending the validation e-mail out, it complains that the validation code has expired.

I've done this several times now and I've given up for the day.

Skype ads are getting even more intrusive...

Apparently Neverwinter Nights and ATI don't like one another.  It wouldn't be a problem if I could find this mythical "Catalyst AI" setting in my control panel which, as of this writing, is still managing to elude me.

(I'm still pissed off that AMD, my one true love of CPU manufacturers, partnered up with fucking ATI instead of nVidia.  Alas, if its a choice between which I hate more, ATI or Intel, I'll always hate ATI a little less than Intel.)

Firefox keeps crashing. Am I the only one who has this problem?

[Sleepy]

Did you update to the most recent version? I updated a few days ago and haven't had any issues so far.

[Art Vandelay]

I did indeed. Still crashes at least a couple of times per day.

I'm all for the fat acceptance movement, but I wish they'd stop trying to redefine "curvy".

Motherfucking shitheaded little fucking kids!! I just got my laptop fixed, screen was cracked, charger was broken, ordered new ones, put in the new screen, charged it, and went to go use the free wifi by my apartment complex's pool. Was walking past it on my way to the shady area nearby, and some little fucker ran by and knocded out of my arm, into the pool, then ran off laughing. Fried the whole goddamned thing. Am back to using my Vita for internet until I save up for a new one because I have no clue who the kid is, who his parents are, or where he lives, since my first instinct was to try to get it out ASAP so I could try to save it, rather than chasing the little shit down.

Not an annoyance, a straight murderous rage here. I just found out that my girlfriend, who is staying in Myrtle Beach, SC with her cousin for a month got raped day before yesterday by the guy she's been hanging out with a lot since she got there. He claims it wasn't rape because (seriously tmi)

(click to show/hide)

she's really submissive and we kinda have a(n entirely consentual) master/slave aspect to our relationship, and since I asked him to watch her for me she had no right to refuse.

Her cunt has been bleeding almost constantly since (though not much, she says), and she refuses to call the cops because, by the end, she had started to enjoy it.

So, yeah, I'm fucking livid. Would call the cops myself, but I don't know the guy's last name.
