Pet Peeves

'Not blown'

How's your flute is great, they either disengage or they have a proper chat.
Try it in the supermarket or the likes.

One that gets me is when journalists walk slowly towards the camera, or in step with the cameraman as he walks backwards, while giving their presentation. Just fucking stand still, dude! I wonder if it's a little technical detail that is considered difficult to pull off in the industry, and is a way to get nominated for an award, because in terms of viewing it's really fucking (very mildly) annoying

That reminds me of this - Not a pet peeve as it's only happened for a week I was there - but doing jury duty walking up to the court entrance you'll get the court paparazzi turn to you, point the camera in your face and start taking photos, it's really unnerving. Since going digital they just take photos of everyone coming in and out no longer need to be selective or need to know who is who. Strange feeling like an invasion of privacy.

I'M INNOCENT!!! THEY'LL NEVER PUT ME AWAY!!! And then just fucking leg it in the door with your jacket up over your head.

I used to work in the courts. You got used to it, but there was an American girl who worked there who would shout and give the journalists the finger as she walked in the entrance. She was an "activist" who wouldn't shut up about being queer even though she was married to a man. ...I don't really have a point, just highlighting that she really was an awful fucking wagon.

Trying to get used to wearing hearing aids, a necessary evil!

I hear ya man 😅.

From my own experience if they're still uncomfortable after a while it might be worth trying different sizes domes/inserts. The first ones I was issued were way too big.

Genuine question for ye heads with hearing aids - would ye still use headphones for music? Like pop out the aid and insert earphones? Only at home or still use them on the go?

My hearing is all good (but I might need laser surgery this year to stop me going blind, so this declining health shite is all swings and roundabouts  )

Depending on the brand/model you can stream audio from your device to the hearing aids, however I find the streamed audio for my current aids is quite tinny - Android Bluetooth.

I use overhead earphones (Sony WH-1000xm3s) with the aids in and fine tune the hearing aids with the app if too loud/tinny.

For longer listening sessions or for flights I just take out the hearing aids and adjust the mids/highs on the EQ - it's more comfortable.

This new trend of "anyone here in 2026" in the comment sections of songs on youtube. Very annoying I only started noticing it a few months ago seems it has been going on for longer. In the last two weeks I have seen it on almost every video I have looked at. Another example of people desperate for approval in the form of likes from strangers.

Its been like that for a few years now, complete attention seeking shite

[Giggles]

The YouTube algorithm gets annoying. It's been going on a few years but I'm getting sick of the shite headlines that youtubers have to use to stay in the game:  'THE TRUTH ABOUT x', 'THE REAL REASON BEHIND y', 'THIS ONE HACK WILL COMPLETELY TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE'.

Then a bunch of YouTubers copy each other's stuff, so you just get shown the same shit, and then when they get sick of that, they start online wars with each other. All the while posting ridiculous thumbnails of themselves pulling retarded faces.

Edit: thanks for the likes

YouTube is as bad as FB, Instagram and the likes...its all just a minefield of AI garbage now which had rendered it almost unusable. I reactivated an Instagram account just to check out various bands, tattoo artists etc (given that actual websites are seemingly a thing of the past) but its hard to navigate through all the usual nonsense...videos of ICE behaving badly, clips of Joe Rogan extolling the virtues of taking food dye to ward off depression, dickheads with cameras asserting themselves as 'citizen journalists'. Fuck off.

The Beckhams and their spoilt brat can fuck off
