And going to generalise, but they never play anything decent. Personally I've got this weird fear of my phone playing from it's speakers instead of my headphones and everyone knowing what terrible music I listen to.
Choo choo! All aboard the Complain Train!

I have the same fear haha. Accidentally play something from the depths of your catalogue and now everyone around you thinks you're a psycho.
I mean, where I'm from there's a type of person who generally does it and so I can pick the music, but you never know. People always, always, always start playing their Tik Toks out loud when they get on my trains for some reason. Listen and watch to what ever you want, I'm no pretentious gatkeeper, but keep it to yourself in pubic. Especially when the carriage/bus is full, just have some quiet time for 40 minutes, that's all I ask.
Fable II was the only of the original Fable trilogy not released on PC, and it was my favourite one. Its honestly really, really weird.
Told that my department has to come in for 12 hour days for the next three days and now it feels like my throat is trying to strangle itself.
I once had to work 10 hour days 6-7 days a week for about 3 months.
Mm. It's just we've already been really nose to grindstone already so it's just keep me of... not good on top of everything else.
"But don't you want all your friends to know up-to-the-second what you're playing? Don't you want to be able to play multiplayer at any moment? Are you one of those anti-socials? Should we call the police?"
I don't want people to know what music I'm listening to. It's none of their business. I'll even turn down my car stereo if I'm stopped in traffic, regardless of if my windows are up or not.
I used to be the same way, but outgrew the stigma pretty quickly. If I have to hear their lame shit everywhere I go, they can suffer MY weird shit for the 45 seconds we're in proximity at a stop light. That said, indoors, I tend to keep my music to earbuds, but I expect the same in kind. I had a co-worker who had a desktop radio he used to leave on some pop station even when he left his desk. It irked me, so one day I did the same, putting my phone on with my music. Two songs later, he leans over and asks incredulously "what are you listening to?" I acted surprised, and said "oh, is it too loud?" We tacitly agreed to use earbuds after that.
Funny story, I remember in 2015, I was at a stop light. I had Soul II Soul's "Back to Life" playing in my car, via 10th Anniversary Vol. I Album playing. Funniest and awesome shit, a Latino guy was at the cross walk, heard my music and was dancing while going on the cross walk. The man was dancing good too. We both had great laugh. I wish was able to record that at the time.
NEVER!
People that walk around in parking lots and intersections as if they can win a fight between them and a motor vehicle piss me off. If you're elderly or disabled that's one thing but so many people with perfectly working legs just casually stroll about like they're Superman or something. I'm a safe driver I think, but what if I made some slight slip up or something with breaking late or what if someone else isn't a safe driver? "Lady! Do you have any sense if self preservation at all?!" Freaking hell...
Or kids that skateboard in carparks when cars are coming in and out and get grumpy at having to get out of the way of one of the biggest killers in out cities.
I think you meant to reply to Rogue Wolf but somehow tagged Specter instead.
Now imagine that, times 10, and add even more dipshits on motorcycles who probably illegally obtained their permits, and you get the 3rd world experience. Although I primarily drive my own car, it's really not by choice. When I was in high school the car represented adventure and freedom, now it represents traffic, rage, and the absolutely sad state our country is in.
Not to play down your experiences, I could just really relate. Although I've come around from "Fuck these idiots" to "Our shoddy transportation infrastructure forces people to act like maniacs on the road, but also still fuck these idiots".
Ah, indeed that's what happened. Sorry, @Specter Von Baren.
It's no problem. The same has happened to me before. Seems to be a weird glitch that pops up ever now and then.
One possible cause is if you quote someone to respond what they said and then change your mind and don't post, the next time you load that thread that quote comes back and you can miss it if you press the reply button to respond to someone else. Happened to me a few times.
Ok, this is certain to be a hot take (/s), but I really hate political ads during an election cycle. Not only do they cram them down your throat over and over again, but most of them are so blatantly hyperbolic containing a grain of truth (at best) whirled in an ocean of lies and misdirection, i.e.: John Smith said he supports women's right to choose, his opponents?" JOHN SMITH ATE 37 BABIES FOR BREAKFAST!! WE HAVE TO STOP HIM AT ALL COST!! VOTE FOR JANE DOE; SHE PERSONALLY GAVE BIRTH TO 7 UNWANTED CHILDREN THIS MORNING WHILE SOLVING WORLD HUNGER AND CURING COVID!! VOTE FOR JANE DOE!!"
I'm glad today is election day, and they'll all go away for a while.

Oh yeah, we just had our federal election in Australia, and while there's a law that says ads on TV and stuff have to knock it off a few days before the election, this does not apply to youtube ads, so every time you try and watch something on youtube we'd get "There's a hole in you budget, dear Labor" or Clive Palmer (Australia's less charismatic version of Trump, who spend zillions and got zero seats) blathering on about something.
My daughter moved out to be near work after Grad School and near the big city to party. Covid hit and with WFH, it didn't matter where she lived relative to work. And she found friends and family were near home rather than big city. So she moved back into my house with the goal of having a condo or house rather than rent w/i 2 years. I posted before, while I have one bottle in the shower (shampoo, conditioner and body wash in one: been noted to improve it also needs to be toothpaste) she has lined the tub with bottles that fall everywhere. And a dang scrungee sponge she hangs from the shower knob that is always in the way.
Well, housing prices have gone thru the roof. Like, insane. So, 2 years is now going to be 3 (spring 2024) And she got a dog. So I basically got a dog. Thought the next time I had to deal with poop, it would be from one of my grand kids.
