Tangentially similar one: when my Tablet decides to go back its homepage when I'm in the middle of a session (uploading a video, doing online work etc.). It might be an overprotective Android thing, but I dunno. I regularly clear my cache *shrug*.
Dude it all started for me when I found out Final Fantasy 3 was not, in fact, FF 3 and that there was a whole bunch of Final Fantasy games to play that at the time had no foreseeable future of being localized.
I have to laugh as I'm now playing the Pixel Remasters in order with my kids.
It's amazing to me that what ended up being a life changing decision started with wanting to play the actual Final Fantasy 2, which I never did ha ha ha. I mean, I downloaded the ROM and got tired after translating like, two lines of text.
Yeah, that's pretty much how it got started for me. There was a series of RPGs on the GBA where the first two games got officially localized, but the third (and IMHO, the best) one never did. Heck, to this day, it still doesn't have a fan-translation, though it's not for a lack of trying from the community. So I decided "What the hell," and started teaching myself to read 日本語. Printed off a sheet of Katakana and Hiragana as a high-schooler and began sounding out the onomatopoeia in manga to myself.
I don't know that one, but I just remembered mine was really easy to flip through the radicals and find what I was looking for while shopping. It was a brick though!

Paging through mine again. One thing I noticed is that while it does do a good job on teaching you mnemonics for kanji, how to write them down, and provides a translation for each one, it doesn't actually give you any readings for them, which is a bit of a let-down. It does have several indices in the back which organizes all 2,200 kanji in several different ways, though.
And yeah, this things a bit of a beast, too. 484 pages.
I remember hearing about Mr. Beast's "Team Water" fundraiser. I didn't know that he would put other streamers on the spot to just donate. I hate when people do that; that could've been a private conversation. Don't put people on the spot to do something even if it's "a good cause." That's emotional manipulation and very scummy.

Even before all the drama came out about Mr. Beast, something never sat right with me whenever I saw his annoying face.
It wasn't just his annoying face. It used to weird me out that he kept up that "look how generous and nice I am" act on camera. It screamed fake to me.
This was back when everyone liked him. But yeah, it all felt like an act.
Genuine people do nice things in private. That's why I didn't like him.
Oh Christ, people like this REALLY piss me off. You were too polite, I would have told them felons should be sterilised and/or put in work camps or used for medical experiments. I have known too many victims of crime (and been the victim of some lower end crimes myself) to be remotely sympathetic to career criminals. I regard them as less than human
Believe me, I would have loved to have been harsher, but I can't power level too much at work or I risk losing my job. But I agree with you!
Thread tax:
Because I'll have to deal with it again tomorrow, lines in the post office. Especially when it's caused by homeless people who think they have a PO box and get mad when they find out they were never customers there to begin with. I see this too much and it pisses me off.
Father’s Day cards. My kids had to look for ages to find me one that wasn’t “you’re a fat farting retard” or “we wish you liked us as much as fishing.” Especially since every single Mother’s Day card is “we’re sorry that we’re slovenly dick-waggers that make you want to drink, O divine domestic goddess.”
Honestly he wasnt that bad when he did the minecraft intro videos (he would rag on kids shitty vids) or right in the beginning of his actual videos where he was shooting guns at stuff or destroying/blowing up cars. I think it was around 2018 when he started becoming how he was now. Thats when i knew he wasnt genuine anymore.
I’ve been on a Clint Eastwood kick as of late, and sat down to watch For a Few Dollars More, but the version on YouTube is a fucking VHS rip. Now I have to contrive a solution.
I've realized this with non-relatives. One instance saw someone expecting me to be their personal chauffeur so they could get cigarettes at the nearby party store.
Someone else expected me to take them home after budget cuts ended the bus route they used in the past. Said person neglected to tell me he only showed showered once during the summer at the beginning and let himself reek of BO all summer long. And yet he genuinely wondered why I'd always try to sneak out before he could ask for a ride each week.
My pharmacy is making prescription refilling more of a pain. The phone system uses AI that relies on you knowing a hidden option to actually request a prescription to be refilled because the option is never presented in the normal voice menu tree. Worse, the place now uses check-in kiosks when you arrive to pick up the prescriptions. They take longer than the old process IMO and seniors who lack tech savvy or have vision issues won't be able to use the kiosks.
I once had the opportunity to watch a soccer championship game. I was unimpressed by the 0-0 score that stood after 90 minutes of regulation play and 20 minutes of overtime, necessitating a shootout that's neither as quick or as exciting as it is in ice hockey (tangent gear grinder: "sudden death" being deemed too violent for a reference to overtime when the replacement "golden goal" phrase sounds way too cutesy).
I recently bought a clipboard and I had no way to tell that it was made thinly and cheaply until it was shipped. It took an unexpected blow and although the backside remained intact, there's now a raised crack on the front face where papers are clipped to the surface, making it impossible to use for writing purposes. Companies don't seem to mind the fact their cheap production methods are resulting in stuff that has a shorter life span and alienates customers that don't buy items blindly and expect an iota of basic quality.
There is a fine line today between items being so cheap one gets what they pay for and paying too much for an item in terms of its value and quality. There seems to be less and less middle ground when buying pretty much anything these days.
I blame the watering down or decreased emphasis on grades and grad school testing which allows more people to enter medical school who don't belong there because they lack the academic knowledge or aptitude to be in the profession.
I had to order something recently from a place who is just close enough that I could order something from their in-store inventory and have it waiting for me by the time I take the short drive there. But no, they keep some of the stuff they know will sell quickly in their warehouse in a location hours away because sense and Corporate America are somehow required to be mutually exclusive.
The one for my part of Kiwi Land has generated similar debate. I've seen a extensive thread debating whether traditional CB radios are still allowed because they aren't phones per se, or if people here have to use hands-free Bluetooth CB radios to comply with the law -- all with no definitive answer.
The irony of the hands-free device laws means I can set up my phone to connect to my car's blue tooth to make and receive calls hands free. However, receiving a text message requires me to touch the center console screen to close the pop up notification because there's no apparent voice command to do it unless it's obscurely buried in the back of the car's operating manual.

Gatekeep your fandoms. I'm serious. Do not let in younger generations; be a bully if you have to. Make them lose all interest in it. It's better for a lack of interest to result in content dying than letting pussy snowflakes influence companies.
My example is video games, so I was leaning about posting this in the game chat, but I think it can be applied to pretty much anything, really. It's just video games have it really bad right now.
Persona 4 Revival was announced and already people are all "I really hope they remove this scene, they change this scene, they make Naoto trans, and they clearly say that Kanji is gay". I already noticed they censored Kanji's dungeon and my hopes are low because Atlus has censored every single remake/remaster they've put out so far.
I'm so tired of nerd shit getting targeted to be woke. Persona 4 straight up has a misogynistic incel calling women bitches and killing them for not sleeping with him. Are they gonna nerf that too?
I dunno, I, myself, find Catherine Tate, Tina Fey, and Rachel Sennott funny. But to me, and I'm gonna come up with a sort of phrase, it's a 'Why Do Black People with No Musical Talent or Originality Fall Back on Trying to Rap?' effect. Or conundrum. You (hopefully) get the gist.

I know he's a horror movie "aficionado", but James Janisse is either gonna become more relevant, or practically redacted, due to lack of relevance.

I hate the pretentious way youtubers title their videos. “How this film hides the twist in plain sight,” and it’s just a recap of some obscure korean film. Luckily it had timestamps and let you cut to the chase. Every time I see a title like that I wish I could tell the uploader to kill themselves. Additionally, the little AI feature google added gives you the least helpful description of the video in the typical AI fashion.
