Things That Annoy You

Happy to be of service.

And I'm sure all the dispassionate scientific analysis is really helping Fish deal with it.

It is, actually. I've always been curious as to what separates humans from most other placental mammals in that regard, and now I know. Thanks! It's a funny little reminder that Mother Nature is more like the folks who rig ugly-but-functional "jury rigs" than any grand designer with any sort of plan.

That's what always bugs me about the insistence that we must have been designed as we are because of the supposed "perfection" of life. Evolution tends to do some crazy stupid and inefficient shit, mainly because of how it operates: it adapts you for your current environment, and you need to pray that your species evolves to adapt to changing conditions instead of just going extinct. Humans are loaded with superfluous features, some of which we still don't know the exact reasons for their existence.

An excellent example of evolution being imperfect is the panda. Pandas evolved to be the best at surviving in their environment. The problem is that this survival is 100% reliant on a specific climate with large amounts of bamboo, and their digestive system isn't perfectly tuned for a vegetarian diet. It's basically a "good enough" jury-rig and the main reason why pandas started to suffer when their ideal environment started disappearing.

My handwriting is not sloppy. At all. I filled out a form and wrote 5 to represent the month of May, and these assholes thought it was a 6. So now I have to redo the whole form and the whole process because they apparently can't read a 5. Mofos, it looks like a fucking 5. If you can't read that, you need to get a different job.

The teacher gave us an assignment and showed us an example. He said he wanted twice as much info in half the pages.

Thing is. He packed everything into his example with almost no page breaks, and everything is barebones information.

That just makes no fucking sense

Maybe he wants you to use a smaller font?  XD

Or bigger pages.

Come to think of it, I'd pay actual money to see someone hand in a university assignment printed on A1 sized paper.

Looks like I can't watch the Daily show episodes on their website anymore. Either it is just that the newest episodes can't be seen yet or worst case scenario I can't watch ANY of those episodes from Finland anymore.

I have an itch beneath the callus on my big toe.

Can you watch them from behind a proxy based in the US?  It might make things a touch slower to load, but it could help.

Or those huge sheets of construction paper you get at arts and crafts stores.

When it rains yet isn't completely overcast. I just looks completely wrong, goddamnit.

People who pronounce the "r" in "foyer".

[Sleepy]

^ That's how I've heard most people say it, honestly.

[The Right Honourable Mlle Antéchrist]

Up here, it's usually pronounced "foy-eh".

Up here, it's usually pronounced "foy-eh".

That's the most Canadian thing I've ever heard.

When a youtube video is loading and gets interrupted, it'll usually pick right back up when the connection is reestablished.  Not so with blip; if a blip video loses connection while loading, it'll just stop loading entirely.  You either have to refresh the video or skip slightly ahead or back in order to "reboot" the buffering.
