Most loathed website UI features

  1. Images opened in a new tab changing to stay the same size when you try to zoom in/out on them.
  2. uncollapseable side/topbars making the actual text window, like, three words wide
  3. Text not reorganizing itself when I magnify it so by the time it's legible I have to scroll horizontally across the screen to read every line (I mean, or give up and close the page. Which I do instead)
  4. And, of course, fucking autoplaying video/audio. Especially when there's no blazingly obvious mute/stop button.

got sucked into the cyber world and it's pretty boring but i can see thru every webcam on earth all at once and it's kinda like how i imagine insects that have 100's of individual irises clumped together experience the world but instead of grass and flowers from a thousand slightly different perspectives i see millions of office cubicles sadly draped in the personal trappings of their occupants and tens of millions of messy bedrooms covered in band posters and poorly maintained houseplants and they're all melded together into a tapestry of impersonal intimacy to me

did you guys know people roleplay succession characters on linkedin

also:

... I only roleplay my OC on LinkedIn.  (He gets more contacts from recruiters than my real account does, even though he’s explicitly and openly a wanna-be evil overlord attempting to take over the world)

Wait. Wait. I can just make up characters on LinkedIn and play with them like action figures. What are they gonna do?

Me golf commentating: These are evil, evil men... they have done wicked deeds to be here today. There are no winners today-- Beautiful drive there. Right onto the fairway.

“Where Were You?” – The Replacements at Berkeley Square, in Berkeley, California [December 11th, 1985]

The Replacements and roadies performing at Berkley Square in '85, photographed by Michael Conen

“The Replacements and roadies performing” because the Replacements regularly took to the stage so fucked up roadies had to step in and pick up instruments to finish (or start) shows

I hate the weaponization of disability language to advocate against public transit and pro cars. So so much.

Without going into the merit of how much cars actually benefit disabled people and especially ashtmatics… Cars. Notoriously safe in wildfires.

Wait I’m gonna go deeper into it

- Cars worsen asthma and do not protect you from pollution

- Disabled people are the biggest demographic in the US who’s less likely to drive and own cars (either because they can’t drive or because they can’t afford it)

- Cars are absolutely the worst place to find yourself while running from a wildfire
