Peoples use of the word "extremely".
I heard a person in an interview disappointed that he wasn't "extremely happy" with his life. Happiness is a rare state in itself, when you think about it - what people usually mean is content.
I've heard people answer "extremely well" or "extremely productive" when asked how it's going.
Really? Do you expect to be EXTREMELY happy with your life more than twice in a lifetime? Are you actually EXTREMELY well or EXTREMELY productive?
Stop it with the fucking hyperbole.

- you sound extremely angry about this.hans_glib
- I am somewhat annoyed.jagara
- With the points made by jagara, do you Extremely Agree / Strongly Agree / Agree a little / Neither Agree or Disagree / ...?shapesalad
- Part of our collective problem in society today is the use of over exaggeration for the mundane. Words don't accurately reflect the moment. Not everything isShenanigansTV
- awesome. Nobody has a billion things to do. So, as a result people now say "super" to express something that already has an accurate word for the measurmentShenanigansTV

I'm trying the 1 month free trail for Youtube Premium. Lovely not to have to skip endless adverts which are totally inappropriate - I'd be fine being served adverts for brands and products/services I'm looking for or want to use...
But you still get the 'sponsered' part of youtuber's videos... pity it's not cheaper, happy to pay $5 per month.
- I use an adblocker on Firefox and have the same experience. I can't remember the last time I saw a popped-in adNairn
- same here. tho the youtube app is more tricky to spoofhans_glib
- I mostly watch via my iPad though.. so ad blockers aren't going to work.shapesalad
- I love YouTube Music but I still resent that they killed off Google Play for music. You could actually scroll though playlists before you died.CyBrainX

Vertical video.
Imagine the years of work this has caused, 2/3 of your TV screen being pillar bars. This is all on Apple and Google for enabling it.- I'm sure this has been mentioned before and probably by me but I'm reminded of this as I prepare templates and designs for an entire TV station's promos...CyBrainX
- with two week's notice. No one bothered to check with me about how long it might take.CyBrainX
- (for social media)CyBrainX
- I general hate vertical video, BUT ... it does make a great replacement for OOH posters.Continuity
- As an OOH format, it's pretty killer, and quite effectivem if my media planning colleagues over the years are to be believed.Continuity
- Old man yells at TikToksNBQ00
- you can't blame the techies, it's the morons who use the tech. ffs they don't watch tv on it's side, or lie down at the cinemahans_glib
- yet they insist on holding their phones that way. punches for them, many many punches.hans_glib
- and kicks. lots of kickshans_glib
- Yes. Of course blame the users but the techies are in the business of anticipating how stupid the average human being is.CyBrainX
- What are you complaining about again? That people watch vertical video because of smartphones?NBQ00
- move the composition window to the left of all your AE panels... is the only way to work with vertical video in AE.shapesalad
- What I'm complaining about is this.

Apple for shipping the new Apple TV without a cable to recharge the remote.
- You don't have any spare cables?
None? At all?Nairn - You need a lightning cable for about 2 hours every 6 months to a year. That’s it. Like Nairn said, don’t you have a single one?monospaced
- Apologies, I was wrong. It’s usb C now and it’s the same charging cable as their computers and most phones.monospaced
- The problem is the GF and I haven't bought any other new Apple products that use USB-C.CyBrainX
- It is stupid. One shouldn't need to have extra cables.dopepope
- What's stupid is getting the same cable every time you make a tech purchase. I have boxes filled with useless cables.Nairn
- The problem is...that Apple updates, upgrades and or changes their cables for every single product release.utopian
- but most devices are USB C moving forward so you really should have onemonospaced
- I think USB C is moving toward not needing "extra" cables.doublespaced
- I don't have a problem with new cables every few years. It's that with no warning they ship devices require them and aren't supplied.CyBrainX
- You don't have any spare cables?

Christmas
Not that's it's a 2 day holiday - that it's an entire season that some people start right after Labor Day. An entire exercise in bad taste. Absolute garbage music, decorations, entertainment, admittedly ugly sweaters and other clothing. The list is endless, retail and capitalism at its absolute worst. The travel, the obligation to appear, cook, shop, etc. What a nightmare. That's not even getting into religion.- Please, it's called 'Winter Closure Season'. 'Christmas' is offensive to non christian religions.shapesalad
- That's the spirit.slappy
- Ok Scrooge. I’m an atheist and I embrace materialist Christmas fully :)monospaced
- It’s possible and fun still to do it without all the sweaters and over the top capitalism. Seriously.monospaced
- Even the Jews love Christmas.utopian
- I have an actual good time with my family.jagara
- I have a good time with my family too. I'm not against it as a thing that's two days. I'm against the seasonal phenomenon and all its awful impact.CyBrainX

Budget Airline Booking, in this case WizzAir.
Tried to book a return flight from Italy, went through the process and stupidly clicked a "join WizzBullshit and save EUR15", which on the next page told me it would cost EUR45, ok, sod that, back a page. "Hmm you appear to want to amend your booking - you'll need to start again" ..er..ok? Start again. Oh, look my price has suddenly jumped EUR40, er.. ok? How do I undo that - refresh - "You appear to be a bot! If you are not, here's what to do..." I'm not doing any of those things.
Ok, fuckit, Ryanair it is. Well done, WizzAir?

eBike rental companies such as Lime for the amount of times I see their bullshit shitty bikes left right across a pavement. Conditons are icy outside at the moment, and there are two of eehse shitty piles of crap laid right in the way of the only passable path with no black ice.
I don't even blame the ignorant pigs who rented them and left them there - they're just arseholes, but they're not arseholes that have predicated their entire business model on the abrogation of responsibility and outsourcing of costs to society generally.
Fuck these cunts.
- look at the bright side: people get money for collecting these, so it creates jabs and sure some angry old ladssted
- :Dsted
- I've just cable-tied the chains.
I hope that spoils a couple's day.Nairn - good one. i usually kick them into the roadhans_glib

- Punches for eBikes, get a bike yo f***ng fat arses ;)OBBTKN
- The e-scooters are much, much worse offenders. The number of times I've fantasised about walking around with a disc saw for concrete ...Continuity
- lol @ cable-tying the chains, ffs, that's vicious :)monospaced
- e-bikes cause jabs indeed, they are spreading germs on their filthy handlebars.shapesalad
- Get vaccinated now! Against e-bikes.shapesalad

- I think they're a great idea when done 'responsibly' - we've had 'Boris Bikes' in London, with designated bays, for years. this free-for-all bullshit? Naa.Nairn
- I do sorta wish we had quick rent eScooters in this part of London, mind. I would like to try one. Just not to then dump it at my ass, in other people's way.Nairn
- I used two cable ties on each bike - one at back hidden, one at front, not-so hidden. Easy to undo and none-damaging, but a pain in the ass.Nairn
- This has been an ..er.. festering issue.. for a good year now.Nairn
- On the way home, saw another egregious example, and was annoyed I didn't have any cable ties in my bag., I usually do. I will make sure to from now on.Nairn
- Whew! Got to read my decade quota for abrogation. Thanks bud!stoplying

Some of the web design trends currently going on. Like The Verge for example https://www.theverge.com

YouTube for not having a filter that prevents my 7 year old daughter from watching sad, mundane, generic vlogger adults and kids from spending 3/4 of a video talking about the thing they're going to do, and their dumb lives, and 1/4 of the video doing the actual thing my daughter wants to see.
She loves gymnastics. She loves ninja courses like American Ninja Warrior. She finds tons of videos of kids doing that stuff, and they pretty much go like this in a 45 minute video:
5 minutes walking around the house, mom making breakfast, jokes, talking about where they're going that day.
15 minutes of the car ride to get to the place.
5 minutes walking into the place and taking videos of staff
5 minutes putting on shoes or gear of whatever they need to do.
5 minutes talking more about the thing they're going to do.
5 minutes doing the thing they have been talking about doing.
5 minutes begging people to subscribe to their channel to watch more of the meaningless content and less of the stuff people want.It makes me insane.
- or recipe pages where you have to scroll thru screeds of shit about who knows what just to get to the actual recipe.hans_glib
- NO ONE IS INTERESTED IN WHAT YOU THINK, JUST COOK/NINJE/WHATEVERhans_glib
- YESS to post and commentsPonyBoy
- dude, she's 7, she should not be near a screen tv or tablet etc. should be at a piano, a book, a piece of paper drawing etc.shapesalad
- you should be the filter that prevents her from looking at tv/computer/smart phone screens. then you don't need to moan about dumb YouTube content.shapesalad
- Got kids Shape?Morning_star
- ^ exactly. I'd love to say that screens aren't part of my kid's life but they aremisterhow
- I have kids and we managed to raise them without screen addictions so far. They’ve never even used a tablet or seen YouTube. It’s 100% not hard to domonospaced
- It’s absolutely possible to steer them toward other activities that aren’t screens. This is no criticism on mg33, just a response to shape and co.monospaced
- Look at shapesalad with the big assumptions... My kids do plenty of that stuff, daily. They don't use tablets or TV constantly...mg33
- ...anyhow... thanks to the rest of the feedback. Can't keep them away from that stuff completely, fortunately they do a lot more. I like that my daughtermg33
- seeks out informative, educational stuff that she's interested in, but so much of it is embedded in the crap I described.mg33
- Hans_glib - Recipe sites SUCK. At least there are often "jump to recipe" links these days. The "content" is so vapid and pretentious, it's blows my mind.mg33
- Maybe the problem is with the creators not with the labeling or filters. I think you know how hard it is to repeatedly create 45 mins of valuable content.sted
- Now I don't have kids but I would expect that it is much harder and less joy for a kid if there are other expectations than having fun and trying to stand out.sted
- *trysted
- Idk how other parents/kids think about this but why not look at this like you found an opportunity to create a masterclass for kids :Dsted

- @Ape, i dispair when i hear shit like that. It's like saying kids shouldn't go outside on their own. Idiotic.Morning_star
- Well, it's such a hard topic, and I'm not judging anyone. Just think screens are as a bad as sugar for kids... but hard for anyone to not engage with.shapesalad
- Feel your pain dude. My 5 year old girl watch the fucking Ninja Kidx BS on YT. Ive banned it. Cannot block it from YT. The entire family and their perfect teethnylon

- "The entire family and their perfect teeth"
LOL - Their insanely large, perfect teeth.
I put a stop to that fucking family with the quickness.BonSeff - The whole genre of parents making channel vids with their kids for clicks is disgusting.BonSeff

- Oily 10 year olds? Large ninja teeth?
Fuck it. I’m raising my kid in the Mountains. We’re mountain people nowfuturefood - The way I see it he won’t be able to avoid all this shit at some point later, so no need to introduce it willingly until it’s absokutely necessary. He’s 5.monospaced

YouTubers who "didn't have time for x in this video". My guy you can make videos 12 hours long, time isn't the problem. You're more interested in meeting the algorithm's fickle criteria than covering a topic to a sensible depth.
