    Things that annoy me but.... should?

    Perfectly quotidian conversations that take an unforeseen hairpin turn into The Politicized Zone.

    Stay the hell away from youtube comments is my advice. And don't watch any of the degenerate channels(Jake Paul can go choke on a coat-hanger).

    Why would you want them? They're the ugliest earmuffs I've ever seen.

    This... so true... avoid YouTube like the plague.... or Superman after eating a can of baked beans...


    True... but should be extended into general religion and ideologies territories as well.

    Youtube itself is good as long as you avoid the bad bits scrupulously.

    Yes. The problem is that there seems to be more bad bits then good ones.


    Also, it is also a bit like joining the dark side.... it is a slow a gradual process that you don’t realise until your in the middle of it.... then it is too late to escape.

    If you step on their feet they'll either stop, or move out of your way... :dry:

    This also annoys me, but its generally my 6 year old granddaughter in front of me, so I can't step on her feet or walk over her. Even worse is when they stop right in front of you and you end up body checking a kid straight onto the ground. :dead:

    They can happen anywhere on youtube. Made a comment in a Janet Jackson video about how one of the actors in the video looked exactly like Adam Levine, but obviously that's not possible because Adam would have been like 14 when the video was made and the dude in the video was clearly older than that. A couple of weeks later I come back to see that the comments that had sprung as response to my original comment had gotten fucking whiplash as they careened into someone's idiotic anti-trans tirade. I was like "What the fuck does this even have to do with what I said? Are you taking the piss, or what?" And that set the troglodyte on an anti-Brit tirade, and I was like, "Dude, I'm Puerto Rican, I just know how to read and pick shit up", to which he responded, "You can't be Puerto Rican because you're speaking English you *&^%&Y^ Brit...."

    o_O

    Sometimes I feel like the end of our species to make room for something else to have a chance, can't come soon enough.

    I repeat, avoid the comments. Video youtube is good. Comment section youtube is usually degenerate.

    The weirder you go though, the safer it is. Dr. Sandra Lee's comment threads can run 5k or more, but they're the most civil place on the internet, present forum included.

    Mildly related....

    When the person in front of me at the ATM machine is engaging the machine as though it were reverse-engineered alien technology. They pause. Their hand hovers. They pause again. It's taking forever. And ever. And ever. And I'm like, "All I want is a fuqing 20. Slide my card, enter my pin, hit the Fast Cash button, hit 20, hit no receipt, get my money, leave!"

    That’s... almost always true for anything with more than two or three comments. Even for seemingly innocuous videos.

    Imagine if we were discovered by a race of intelligent aliens, and the first human interactions they translated were Internet arguments.

    When someone tries to be intimidating and when you stand up to them, they back the fuck down quickly but some how you become the badguy in the end. Oh well... I wasn't going to take shit off of some mouthy moron.

    Expanding foam - it's horrible stuff. Used it for the first time today to fill some cavities around my front door. Whatever that stuff comes into contact with before it sets, will not come off. It's the stickiest thing in the world. The only thing stickier is when Sticky the stick insect got stuck on a sticky bun.

    Gotta love it when humanity forces you into a situation where you will regret all possible courses of action.
