rolling FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS thread

Only saying that there will be justification for this, you wait.

I've had some rental cars that do this annoying thing where the stereo gets loud when you step on the gas, but then gets really quiet when you slow down or stop. It's actually some kind of setting that you can change if you find out how to work the menu on the stereo.

I've noticed that before too, that the stereo would go down as I turned a corner. Took me awhile to figure out it wasn't me.

There are some damn stupid features cars get sold with these days.

haha yeah my car has speed-sensitive volume, i've never tried it tho sounds kinda dumb

Not everything in this world needs to be goddammed automated.

I forgot about that! My car has it too, kind of nice but I am twitchy so I turned it off.

I mean, talk about your FIRST WORLD PROBLEM and all, but who the hell raised so much of a fuss about not being able to hear their radio when the engine revved too hot.

oh i dunno. i for one am sick of having to turn down the volume manually every time i turn a corner.

Can I get a home stereo system that automatically lowers its volume when the needle first hits the record or gets to the label? That scuffing sound is going to ruin my speakers.

my ex's car had that and it was real annoying at first until i discovered that the stereo's RPM-sensitive volume feature actually had three or four ~different levels of sensitivity~

once i got it dialed in to the level that worked for me it was awesome

i blew out my speakers years ago when i maxed the volume when Hollaback Girl came on the radio

songs where it's fun to spell c-a-n-k-l-e-s 2 the beat

You shouldn't have to do this. It's like Microsoft engineers have taken over the auto industry.

no, it was like driving w/o having to adjust the volume knob ever

How loud are these engines? Of all the things that interferes with whether or not I can hear something, the RPMs are down on the list.

It would even be more distracting for me since if I'm slowing down, I'm probably looking for a street number and i don't need the volume popping back up.

well presumably, the faster your engine is going, it usually means the car is also going faster-- more friction from the road/wind etc.

It would even be more distracting for me since if I'm slowing down, I'm probably looking for a street number and i don't need the volume popping back up.

this is when the volume would be rolling back down, pp.

luckily, my truck makes so much racket that the only setting that makes sense is MAX VOLUME at ALL TIMES

See, I'm already getting confused. Just leave it set at 12 and I'll manage on my own.

FYI, J0rd, the display literally said "VOLUME LIMITED" when u tried to turn it up.

I had about 4.5 hours driving today. I lost maybe 45 minutes of my day. Totally worth it.

What, was i going to be alone with my thoughts?! Literally the only thing I like about driving is blasting rap records.

im with whiney on this one guys sorry

I even played kreayshawn for u j0rd u_u

What, was i going to be alone with my thoughts?!

I think he's found an argument we're not gonna beat

Has anyone referred that tweet to white whine yet?

Last time I submitted something to whitewhine, the person whose fb profile it was threatened to sue me and the site for 'breach of copyright' and actually got the post taken down. Amazing.

^^^ first world problem

Yeah I felt like I was trapped in a recursive first world problem with no escape. Probably got over it by eating some cheesecake or something.

how did they know it was you

Ha well I did then post a link back to whitewhine on their fb profile. I thought he'd take it 'the right way'.

what a cad

i feel like i have seen that before? did you post it here or did i actually see it on white whine?

Must have been on white whine. It was on a couple months back. The guy threw a hissy fit in the comments, then the whole thing vanished.

What a dickweed. I've never had a maid, but of my friends who did when I was growing up, I remember that they had to have the place somewhat tidy for her to do her job. I think Tom might misunderstand.

i just wipe my arm over the table and let all the plates and glasses clatter to the floor and scream "FINISHED!"

Actually, there are some maid agencies that will do hoarder/extreme messiness cleanup work. The agency I worked for had to call in some of them for new dementia clients.

re the new malkmus record

there was an ad for the this in spotify telling me to listen to it so i clicked on it and it wasn't available for me to play

ordering glasses online so i went to my optometrist to get my prescription, but i didn't have him measure the distance b/w my pupils, so i have to do that manually, or i have to go back

protip: i just walked into a lens crafters (no appt, already had my script from a diff doctor) and they did it for me. no cost, no hassle. then i ordered online :)

protip: don't do this These Eye(glasse)s

A friend of mine was recently laid off from a medicinal marijuana farm and paid a severance of $5000 in weed.
