Shit happens. A 'qualified' (?) individual is thrust into a situation which requires them to face challenges, solve the problem and save the day. If one can add back story, and other narration during the 'quest' instead of bombarding the viewer with an hours worth before anything happens, I can usually stomach that. I like quests, but not fetch so much.... Spoiler

Heh. Freaking confirmations. They have a time and a place, but they can get really out of hand (and of course be totally abused, such as what you're talking about). I forget now what game it was, but years ago a friend of mine and I were so annoyed by the constant (and often in our opinion, 'backward' defaulted) confirmations to do freaking anything in this damn game, somehow when we started laughing at it in frustration, we perverted the prompts into "Do you want a sammich?!?" because frankly, it was just about as relevant and useful anyway. Again, I don't recall HOW exactly we got to that point, but for years and years, it'd give us a great laugh any time we hit this sort of behavior in some game somewhere. One of us would bust out the line and we'd just crack up, which at least prevented us from smashing a hole in the monitor or busting keys or something in pure frustration.
Kendo 2 Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 Media Elites; they go to the same bars, restaurants and parties and they all know one another. One of them says something, the others pick up on it and in the next news cycle WE get to hear their 'revelations' presented as facts. Their 'anonymous sources' are one another. Given enough time it becomes their Twitter 'truth'. It's like woke Hollywood, normal and sane human beings are an enemy to be confronted and coerced.

Context, however was you posting the opposite of this about a year and half ago via a certain nif altering program. There's a clear difference between "nigga, you totally changed this topology, go look again before hitting that button or you're gonna be 500 DKP MINUS!!! and +20 blood pressure when you see the results in game" and "this game/app is either essentially or actually legalized gambling and we're gonna pressure the fuck out of you because we are literal scum".
KoolHndLuke Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 Tim clearly doesn't appreciate the bold move of boring accurate, legitimate news into "creative journalism" that dares you to try and prove them wrong. Spit-balling it is so much more entertaining.

Kendo 2 Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 The current interglacial warming period we're in? Nope. Man made climate change. The current solar minimum were in now will last from 2015 to 2031 and it's the harshest since 1100 A.D. Nope, that's man made climate change too. Most likely the bought-and-paid for 'scientist' at the UN will blame the intergalactic hunk of ice hurdling our way on man made climate change as well. Gotta keep that tenure. Fun Fact; roughly every 10k yrs the planet goes through this. Drastic climate shifts, plagues, toppled empires, violence and superstitious intolerance, etc. Only difference this time is there isn't 'the will of the gods' or 'the Devil' to point the finger at. I hope that fucking asteroid slams into the Earth and causes a mass extinction. Maybe whatever replaces humans in 10 million years will be better than we are today.

Let's just forget that 1816 was called "Eighteen-hundred-and-froze-to-death" by people at the time. We won't mention the fact that a volcanic "burp" puts out more CO2 in an hour than humanity has generated in 8,000 years. Nope! Nope! NOPE! It doesn't happen! LALALALALALA! I CAN'T HEAR YOU! Al Gore please save me from the science denier! I'm so sick of all the climate bull. They've been trying to tell us that it was all going to end since the 1960's. Every single one of their predictions has been wrong. Even Madam Rue the Gypsy Fortune Teller gets a prediction right once in a while. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Honestly what is really pissing me off is that one of my co-workers has decided that she doesn't like how I do my job. Lady, we're supposed to be working together to fix the problem. Working together does NOT involve you telling me that I'm not doing things the way you want them done. Your job is to do 'x'; my job is to do 'y'. I did not ask you to also do 'y', you started doing it on your own. I would not come in and start telling you how to do your job, so shove off and let me do mine without your input. Stop confusing my being polite and considerate of you with my being nice. I don't give a rat's ass about you or your opinions. Our goals here are not the same, because our objectives are not the same. I am busy making sure the client doesn't drop us from the job and you are having a fit about whether or not the client is getting proper service. The people the client has a problem with are YOU and your boss, and the only ones who doesn't see it are the two of you!

There's always the super a.i. we can build to restart things later when we finally realize we fucked up and are thoroughly fucked. I actually think a machine overlord would set our dumb asses straight- or decide to eradicate us. All we seem to know how to do is argue and war with each other like children with ever more deadly toys. China has a very sharp focus.... and are thriving. We could learn a thing or two. If we can't stand united, with a common purpose for the greater good of our societies, then perhaps we don't deserve our freedoms. We've squandered- and even mocked- the bloody sacrifice of our ancestors.

AKM Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 2 hours ago, Psalam said: 1962: I'm sure that, in magazines, "the end is near" cartoons go back even further. It goes back through the ages, and is, in the individual's reality, 100% accurate, even though most, especially in their youth, choose to ignore it. Just look at the censorship of the words 'death' and 'died' in U.S. culture. We're so afraid of death that even our medical professionals in many, many areas have gone to using euphemisms instead of calling it what it is. The patient expired (like a magazine subscription), or passed away (there's that wonderful place 'away' again, guess they're going to join all the stuff that got thrown there), sometimes, but rarely, 'deceased' is used. 'Terminal episode', 'negative patient care outcome', 'went to be with God, or Jesus, or whatever name you choose to give your Higher Power of Choice. But 'So and so died'? You almost never hear that. It's like: 'If we avoid the truth, it will be slowed down - as we waste our miserable lives in the pursuit of keeping the upper crust swimming in money, spending $1.20 for every $1 earned, just to 'Keep up with the Jone's', impressing people who we don't care about who don't give a shit about us, either.' "Look at him, Dan! He's 90 years young." One of the realities is that the individual actually dies twice. The first time physically, then the second when the last person who remembers them speaks their name for the last time/ remembers them for the last time. THAT is true death; when the individual truly ceases to exist, even in the minds of those who knew them - in any capacity.
---nikoli Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 Peoples inability to label their stuff correctly. I don't care if you're into straight, lesbian, homosexual, bestiality, getting hammered by intelligent plants, or whatever else revs your engine, label it right. I am so tired of typing into a search engine and seeing 80% of the items shown to be completely different from what they are labeled as. For those that are having difficulty figuring it out... A female has a vagina. (This is mandatory) A male has a penis. (This is mandatory) A futa has both a vagina and a penis. (This is mandatory) A shemale has tits and a penis, no vagina. (Though they hate to admit it, most guys weighing over 330lbs/150 kilos would fall into this category) It shouldn't be that difficult to figure out, look at the image or video you're uploading... If there is a penis involved, its not lesbian. No vaginas? Then its not straight, lesbian or futa. ...and if My Little Pony is involved, please do the world a favor and kill yourself.

A bit harsh but hilarious nonetheless. XD But yeah people using incorrect tags/labels is just downright annoying, it gives me the same feeling as seeing people making minor grammatical mistakes consistently. It's doesn't make me straight up angry but it does irritate me whenever i see it. Like okay i can understand making typos every now and then but consistently using "too" instead of "to", "your" instead of "you're" and worst of all, "where" instead of were/we're"? What's up with that? How do these people not ever notice these errors?

What's up with that? How do these people not ever notice these errors? Out here in cyberspace, I try very hard to give the benefit of the doubt a lot. English is a very messed up language to try to figure out for someone not born to it, particularly I'm told if they're of Asian origin. By comparison to virtually all other derivatives of Germanic or Latin based languages, many of our letters don't sound as many people in the world would expect - such as our letter e and i. This is why you'll see quite often people typing out giggles as "hihihi" because their i sounds like our long e and they're e never sounds like that, but rather closer to our short a and... heh. Anyways, so yeah. You can usually tell before long though, so I definitely have two categories. People who just plain don't want to use real words and make some attempt at grammar? Drives me nuts. People who are damn well trying but still working on making sense of this English disaster? I give 'em big props actually. More effort than I've made to learn any of their languages, after all. Oh, and I'm totally utterly on board if we decide to get a MLP hunting party going. I hate those damn things. xD
