Pet Peeves

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

You misread in the other thread: we couldn't think of an example as egregious. And indeed you provided examples that precisely weren't as egregious. Which doesn't amount to saying they were not dishonest, just that they weren't as dishonest.

They said 5 police officers were killed during the 'insurrection'. That's patently false.

And if it comes out that they said that even while telling each other in private that they thought it was patently false, then, and only then, will you have a comparable situation. Not impossible, but also not an actual fact. Yet. I was saying all along there's no way Carlson believed everything he was saying, I said so on here. But now there's proof, and that changes things. No surprise at all he's pushing the Jan 6th thing so much right now; he knows his viewers hate "the left" more than anything, even more than him blatantly and cynically playing them for idiots.

Lads, yis are boring. Have a beer and fuck up.

[Caomhaoin]

I agree.

I've spent months bitching about my boss, only to get a message from his brother telling me he's sent a present back from Hong Kong for me. Pet peeve: feeling guilty.

Change.

I just don't like it.

A lot of the time it works to my benefit but still I don't like the process.

Google's obsessions with bullshit ideas that nobody wants or needs, yet keeps getting forced on them. Webp format images, Google Lens, tabbed groups for Android etc.

People calling podcast episodes "pods". The pod in the name refers to ipods.

Those annoying Vodafone ads whenever the rugby coverage is on off the ball. 'We all belong to the team of us'. What the fuck does that mean?

Fuckin' knackers doing stuff like this
