Non-Political Ranting: Unleash Your Anger ITT

i don’t get mad at much anymore, but youtube commercials that you can skip in 30 seconds but if you don’t are like 5 minutes long does it every time.

like, if your goal is to have me engaged during the commercial, making me find the remote to avoid a 5-minute delay ain’t the kind of engagement you want… :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

The only media subscription I pay for that I feel I need is YouTube premium. It comes with YouTube music as well, which is as good as Spotify for my needs.

YouTube premium. Highly worth it imo

This might be among the nittiest of grievances, but I get extremely annoyed when purchasing something for say, $12.63 and hand a cashier a $20 bill along with three ones and they look at me like I’m from another planet and hand me back the 3 singles

What’s less likely? That a customer older than 5 doesn’t know 20 is a larger number than 12.63? Or that I want a fucking $10 back?

Maybe they think you’re a moron who thought the twenty was a ten.

I’ve considered this, but even so, why not just give the moron his correct change back, which is 37 cents plus a ten dollar bill

Can’t answer that without knowing what the cashier thought of your face.

I have like a really a nice countenance. Maybe the best one ever. People are saying

And as long as I’m ranting here’s another thing from today…

There is only one way this should work. You go up on the right and down on the left. This is not up for debate. How do people not know this?

i feel like i’d walk up or down whichever side was closest to where i started.

if it’s busy, yeah sure. if it’s empty and i was along the building coming down, i’d probably stay along the building. if i passed someone on the same side walking up, i’d challenge them to a duel.

Yup, came to the same conclusion.

I have 6 songs on my phone that I’ve actually paid for. Guess which songs I couldn’t listen to while hiking with no cell signal? “Not available in your country or region.”

Fuck off the whole system that produces this.

And now I’ve spent the last 15 minutes trying to get one fucking song from my computer (my up-hiking DJ set that was on the phone last year but inexplicably disappeared) onto my iPhone and as always when using iTunes (now Apple Music) I’m in a total blind rage.

Are you sure you want to [confusing thing you didn’t ask for where doing it sounds bad but not doing it also sounds bad]?

No Apple, you fucks, I am not sure I want to remove all photos on my iPhone and replace them with photos from my computer, which is why the sync photos box is explicitly unchecked. But thanks for asking and scaring the shit out of me.

Finally got that one song on there, and for 10 minutes it wouldn’t play. Click the play button, nothing happens. Just don’t feel like it. And now it magically plays.

No you fuckheads, no one asked for this. Stop syncing stupid shit.

Problem I see is the lack of space to switch sides at the platform levels.

I understand people need something to hold on to when it’s slick, but sufficient room to change rides to avoid a traffic jam doesn’t strike me as unsafe.

Calculators in school man, calculators in school. Although I had a big 'ol calculator in school, size of a game boy, my mom made me a sweet denim cozy for it…

If I listen to music when I hike I inevitably go too fast and blow up so audio books and podcasts only for hiking.

It’s not even worth it. Transferring an audio file from your computer to an Apple product is a task of epic proportions.

I had a knockoff mp3 player that worked just like a thumb drive, ya drag files into the little folder and then they’re right there on your device, I miss that little guy so much.

I’m tryijg to avoid anger bc it wont help, but … my neighbor about a half mile away opened a sawmill.and his kiln makes an awful racket 24/7 when it’s fired up, and so my home which used to be dead silent but for the birds at times now has a low key industrial background for days at a time.

It’s a right to farm community which is probably a doubled edged sword. I likely have little recourse, but its that farming starus, no zoning, that lets me live off grid as i do (largely ignored by the town).

buy a roland mini recorder and make your own mixes.

You can record straight from youtube.

You don’t need a device for that. Plenty of free sites will convert youtube to MP3 for you. But the youtube sound quality isn’t as good as a typical MP3. I did a blind comparison.
