Not gonna watch a two hour video on this. What's the general rundown? Aside from the Brian Dansereau thing you mentioned.

Couple years ago a lady bought a house that was known as a haunted location, was being an absolute Karen to her staff, making weirdly controlling rules, threatening to sue anyone who complained.
The problem I have with it is the lawsuit threats. Her staff apparently were afraid to cross the owner for fear she would take them to court and they'd end up financially ruined from paying defense lawyers even if her complaints were dismissed.
I hate that shit.
(Because of the nature of the business this particular group of people are in, I feel there's probably some heavy-duty lying going on from all directions. However, this lady has a Look in her eye that I recognize.)

tl;dr tl;dr, Empty-ish lawyer threats used purely to manipulate people pisses me off, so I bitch about it.
 
My co-worker smokes, and tracks the smell of cigarettes into the office foyer.

Why can't he just vape in the bathroom, like I do?
 
Calls from these telemarketing scams from India or Pakistan or some other street-shitter region. "Hello there, my name is Paul from Chicago," he says, as he sounds like Fiji from Bombay...

When people think calling the cops will automatically make them on your side. If there are two people involved, the cops will get both sides of the story. It's not like the cops could do much anyway.

Actually, if cop retention continues to decline, people would/will just take matters into their own hands.
 
We still don't' have reactions notifications, I have to track down my fucking posts to see if anyone even gave a fuck manually.

I hate them especially when I'm busy and I stay extremely busy. They are calling me from the same companies/entities over and over. I told them just take me off your list about 4 times in a polite manner then I realized it was the exact same company/entity calling as from 2 weeks ago. Now I answer the phone pretend to have tinnitus and make them yell and repeat themselves as much as I can get away with. One time I pretended to be confused and acted like the Pajeet was an old friend with a wife who was dying of cancer "Bill, omg, we haven't heard from you in so long, I'm afraid to ask but, how's Andrea's chemo going? Is she going to be ok? We were scared to death when you never returned our calls." The fucking hilarious part is the Pajeet actually starts playing the role of some guy I made up named "Bill" who's wife is dying of cancer, he answers medical questions I ask about her condition in a vague and confused manner. You can hear he's hesitant and confused but, answers all my questions slowly and vaguely. I did this while my wife is sitting next to me in my car confused beyond words what I'm talking about. There other fun thing to do is ask them to tell you more and curse at them in Hindi quitely, there are a few words that translate in "sister fucker" that makes them mad. One of the angriest Pajeets I ever had I told him I was interested in his services but needed to see proof he could make good on the results, asked for the work upfront before I paid him he started yelling about coming to India or something, really mad before he hung up.

Unironically Vivziepop's version of Hell is pretty close to more modern interpretations where Hell is basically just like Earth but people have had their connection to God severed completely. So basically a realm of self torture instead of literal fire and brimstone. C.S. Lewis' The Great Divorce is basically the template for that.

Or to put it another way, like the version of Hell in Wristcutters where everything is like it is on Earth, only worse.

I can't describe it, but do you know when old people talk, you could hear them swallow or gulp after each pause? They'd talk, stutter, pause, then you'd hear their mouth trying to salivate or gulp something in between. Decrepit voice speaking or something. That gets annoying. Like you don't know if their next word would be their last breath.

Fat people do it too. I know one guy who gets out of breath walking across a room and has to gulp down air, or do a quick loud sucking sound during a conversation.

Japanese beetles. I hope the guy who first imported them to this country is burning in hell. I don't care if it was an accident. Fuck that guy.

I've more seen people who do like one set of reps and then spend five to fifteen minutes sitting at the machine on their phones. Maybe a gymfag can tell me I'm wrong, but I don't think you need that long of a recovery period when lifting weights.

The consensus of the newest research is that optimal recovery is self-monitoring over strict timing so when you're ready for your next set. You don't need even five minutes for anything that you'd see normal people do, but sometimes for heavy weights with heavy exercises.

Click the "Reactions received" link when you pop down your profile menu.
Not as lazy as it used to be, but still a useful list.
 
Who started the brilliant trend of leaving vehicles turned on for HOURS? Shitloads of annoying noise because they also tend to leave the radio playing shitty music on top of the motor running, a waste of fuel, and it's ALWAYS in AM hours, when everyone is supposed to be sleeping.
 
>like a game/show/etc
>trannies become obsessed with it
>call it "peak trans" and "transcore"
>make themselves synonymous with it
>can't talk about it on places like Kiwifarms or 4chan without getting called troon
>only places I can talk about it are Reddit (criclejerking) or Groomcord
Daily reminder to gatekeep your hobbies.
 
Fruitflies. Those dumb fucking little annoying shits. I thought my garbage can in the kitchen was sealed enough but no. Despite all the traps and spraying it's been an uphill battle to get rid of those little suckers. What a fucking useless insect.

Or having vehicles go into "stand by" when you go idle?

Is that an electric/ hybrid car thing? I have a weird negative reaction to hearing cars start up when it's time to go forward at a stoplight.

My grind: music that literally flips from left to right speaker. Example: The Perfect Kiss by New Order. Absolutely love that song, one of my faves of theirs, but on headphones it nauseates me bc at 10 sec in there's a measure with all the sound going back & forth btw left speaker & right speaker.

This version (just music not the vid):

Still awesome music just hate that back & forth in headphones.
