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?

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

Oh of course, it goes without saying that i wasn't including people who don't have english as their main language. It's often kinda easy to tell which one's the case with someone if you look closely. I was more talking about the ones who have spent their whole lives speaking, reading and writing english but make fundamental mistakes on a regular basis and get defensive when you point that out to them, which is not something i care to do actually but i see other people arguing over it in comments and it's just hilarious and irritating. I can however make exceptions for instances where they were clearly done for comedic purposes, i do that myself sometimes too lol.

Gah.. even that much fudging with grammar makes my brain bleed.  I think if I'd have stuck some 1337 in there to boot, my head would have literally exploded.  xD

Just every time I get a fucking quest in a game where the asshole is like "You look capable" or "Please, no one else will!".  Bitch, I'm tired, beat up, wounded, out of gas/water/food/ammo/patience- but let's forget about my fucking problems and focus on your shit since I'm just stupid like that. Can't remember the last time I heard a MoFo say "Got no problems. How can I help you?".

If every NPC was like Angi (who already went on her own revenge mission before the Dragonborn even arrived in the country and just wants to be left alone in her cabin in peace) in Skyrim, there would be a lot more off-kilter quests in RPGs rather than the usual. A casual archery lesson/competition over a chat is not what most think of when recalling the events of some over-blown action-adventure romp but such moments are refreshing whenever they show up.

Don't get me started on Americans using 'then' and 'than' incorrectly. It's a great example of people being sheeple. No of them were taught to misuse them that way at school, it is entirely due to following what is done on the Internet.

Mercifully, it has not reached over here yet.

Lol yeah it's fucking annoying, for the life of me i can't understand what the hell goes on in their head when writing like that. I see far less british/european people in general writing like that, they write with much more clarity and precision minus the typos which everyone makes every now and then so not a big deal.

To be fair, it's probably at least worth mention that a part of why this has (again) become so prevalent is that in this mobile-technological age, virtually everyone is using some form of spell-check.  Personally I do my best to avoid using devices where the default behavior is "auto-correction", and try to limit it to suggestions at most.  My old eyes barely notice some of the bizarre "corrections" many of today's devices come up with, which would be even worse on those tiny screens I can barely see.  ;)

 

Clearly, that's not the entirety of issues like to too two, than then, your you're, etc...  But I suspect it's definitely a fair contribution of the problem.

Well, there was this incident on the Nexus...oh

 

Big provoking signatures that forces your attention away from the actual post. Today I saw the most tasteless signature on LL, which made me disable them all. It's like posting a porn movie in the middle of a thread without spoilers. If people want to watch porn or have a certain fetish I'm not judging them. But they could keep it to themselves instead of shoving it in the face of other members who are here to read stuff.

Was it mine? It was mine wasn't it? Shit! I told brain in charge not to do it but nooooo! They just had to be a smartass. Or maybe it was ***** 2. He says he doesn't care but he cares.

 

I remember a cat said something about fetishes and loverslab. Then again they won't admit they like cooking. LIES!

No. It's annoying but also a bit funny. It breaks the rules for signatures by being a gif though. I would show you the one, but I can't find the option to enable signatures again. ?

 

Could it be Salem from Sabrina the teenage witch? He was the best character of that show.

 

Spoiler

When you open your browser and your tabs are fucking gone.


There's a way around that to get your browser to remember your tabs and open them every time.  At least on FIrefox.  Not sure what you're using, but I've not had that problem since doing some digging and fixing it to open everything, every time.

I found if you force kill a browser like chrome by killing it's .exe file in the task manager when you bring the browser back up it'll ask you if you want to restore those tabs. At least that is what I have done before if I didn't want to loose my tabs but had to close the browser and then I came back later I was able to start the browser and then restore the tabs.

Additionally, I've seen a lot of situations where something stupid (like being in the middle of typing and windows popping up a box where my typing somehow defaults to "update now") will close everything, and opening Chrome at first is just one blank (home) tab - but it's gotten better and better recently about using CTRL-SHIFT-T to 're-open closed tab' which in such situations will also open an entire window of multiple tabs most of the time.

 

During some of my worst 'deep digs' for something I've had this work on like 5 windows with probably 20+ tabs each, though it DOES fail some of the time, and I almost always have to open one "extra" window because for whatever reason it likes to make two identical windows for the first one, but once everything's back, I just close one down again.

 

Anyways... if it helps anyone.  ^_^

And it just happened again and there goes more tabs. What fix did you use?

I'll have to look it up.  If it makes you feel any better, I didn't know that you do NOT use the 'New Private Window' setting, as that will erase all your saved tabs if you do it just wrong.  Guess who now has to go tab-hunting? (Sigh)

Right, here you go:

1. Click the 'Menu' button (3 horizontal lines, extreme right of toolbar)
2. Click 'Options' ("wheel", half way down the list)
3. Under 'General', which should be the open tab, look for 'Startup' and make sure 'Restore Previous Session' is checked.

Note: It's a WHOLE lot easier to retrieve your tabs by going to History -> Manage History -> Go to the top, and click the 'Names' so it will sort them by alphabetical order rather than usage order.  That way, you can *Right Click* -> 'Open in new tab', and it will do so, while maintaining your position in the history file, so that you can continue from where you left off.  If you don't do that, you'll find yourself at the most recent section, as the tab you wanted open is your most recent tab, at which point you'll have to go hunting for what was near where you were that you didn't click on.  A royal pain.

Here's the page I found the information on:

FF is just acting stupid and I decided to move to Brave browser. Pretty much didn't care about restoring tabs anymore. I wanted to fix the issue of just tabs constantly closing every damn session. My settings didn't change and uninstalling and deleting all associated files and doing a fresh install sacrificing all my bookmarks, and setting it to not close tabs, FF still closes tabs. thanks for the help nontheless.
