Disgusting savages; list them ALL itt

Action Bronson, in a stoned haze, made grilled octopus with raspberry sauce (on Fuck That's Delicious), and people seemed to like it? Maybe they were just kissing his ass...

Probably could have skipped "in a stoned haze" in that sentence, as it's implicit.

fruit and cheese are a combo as old as time

― harold melvin and the bluetones (jim in vancouver)

froot and cheez, however, is a much more contemporary combo

people who request a read receipt on every email they send. worse than scum

Don't think "savages" is accurate but I'm astounded there is an audience for Last Tango In Halifax that has kept it going for years. There's so much apparently mainstream entertainment that feels like a particularly tough arthouse endurance test.

...

Have to say that's one of the more leftfield suggestions itt

Once read a bookseller complaining about the condition he finds books in. Like books with their hardback covers broken in pieces, books that look like they've been purposefully tortured.
When I buy discs I tend to buy new copies unless they're too expensive or unavailable, but sometimes I get a "very good" condition disc that looks like it's been used as a food dish or the greasiest children on earth have handled it carelessly hundreds of times.

Once bought a second hand Dreamcast that was covered in food stains and had an Iron Maiden CD left inside that looked unplayable because of the scratches it had.

Hackers have infected every public computer in the St. Louis Public Library system, stopping all book borrowing and cutting off internet access to those who rely on it for computers.

The computer system was hit by ransomware, a particularly nasty type of computer virus that encrypts computer files.

This form of attack renders computers unusable -- unless victims are willing to pay an extortion fee and obtain a key to unlock the machines.

According to the library, hackers demanded $35,000 in the electronic currency Bitcoin -- but the library refuses to pay. Instead, it'll wipe the entire computer system and reset it, which could take days or weeks.

The cyberattack hit 700 computers at all of the city's 16 library branches, according to spokeswoman Jen Hatton.

assholes!

Lol. Lettuce and burgers visually reminds me of what Gremlins look like...can't go near that.

People who use Twitter. Or ilm.

In the balcony for last night's Sunday in the Park with George ($59), some geezer in the next section chose the climactic Act I duet "We Do Not Belong Together" as his cue to *yell* at the woman behind him "YOU KEEP HITTING THE BACK OF MY CHAIR!" I need to be declared king of something so I can command private performances of everything.

Also some woman behind me was doing the wrestling-with-a-plastic-snack-bag thing for much of Act II. Wish I had my Luger.

I think snack bag ppl need own circle of hell with most vicious demons really, my fam thinks there's something with ME.

wrong with me

doing it in a cinema is bad enough, but a Sondheim musical on Broadway? and of course ruining everyone's night by screaming in a non-medical-emergency situation... Sartre was right.

cucumbers are trash

those who don't break down boxes before putting them in the shared recycling bin

People who use a car horn as a way to indicate to their children where they're parked. Ends up giving pedestrians a shock, can't they just use text or call out?

Anybody who uses a horn for anything other than the following purposes:
1. An actual emergency, serious for real life and limb shit
2. Forcing an ignorant driver to realize they are not alone (i.e. "Stop backing up" or "It's green now")
3. Some kind of collective car horn choir performance like sometimes happens in tunnels when people are feeling silly
4. Being childish (or being an actual child) during a test drive around the parking lot while car shopping

And #2 is just barely permissible imo; city life has finally made me realize it's common practice, but discretion must be exercised.

otm

recently saw someone honking at a minibus as it not-especially-slowly took on passengers from a nursing home, now that's some savagery right there

2. Forcing an ignorant driver to realize they are not alone (i.e. "Stop backing up" or "It's green now")

"stop backing up because I'm behind you and you're getting p. close now" = yes
"it's been green for a few seconds (perhaps you have not noticed a filter light)" = eh maybe a tiny tap on the horn
"it's been green for 0.0001s and I am a massive boy-racer dick" = fuck yooooou

Yes

Wish cars had a smaller, friendlier sounding sort of bicycle horn option meaning the above things, e.g. hey I'm over here, the light has changed etc.

Some people are supersensitive and reactive abt horn honking, personally I'm grateful for this kinds of heads-up but have been flipped off for trying to give it to others

also: people driving way under the speed limit on single-lane road who upon getting (legally and safely) passed get their panties in a bunch

erm by single-lane I mean two-way road with dashed line

In my driver's manual, there was some suggested rule about honking your horn before passing another driver, to alert them that you were about to overtake them.

Which, in theory, may sound like a good idea, but ...

No, that's not a good idea anywhere, unless a meteor or a volcano has blacked out the sun, every lightbulb in the world has been destroyed and they can't make any more, and the car you are driving that needs to pass the other car is an ambulance.

imo only two permissible horn sounds should be La Cucaracha and "chinga tu madre cabrón"

the my brother my brother & me podcast proposed a three horn system

regular hey dipshit horn for get out of the way, watch where you're goin

neutral/special occasion horn for non-traffic related things, celebrating sports team wins etc

great job horn for dope traffic maneuvers, narrow-misses, perfectly executed parallel parking & ppl driving the same car as you

i only recognise horns for ppl driving the same car as you, this is important information to celebrate, the rest can gtf and indeed eat my fuc

neutral/special occasion horn for non-traffic related things, celebrating sports team wins etc

as long as this one is silent I'm on board

hate it when some shitty football team wins a shitty football match and then for the rest of the day you have to hear that stupid honking pattern over and over again, it is suddenly ok for drunks to wander round the streets from 4pm until 4am bellowing incomprehensibly at strangers, etc

I hate fun but also hearing any sound not entirely of my own choosing, except maybe birdsong, but only after I've got out of bed in the morning

There is this—I hesitate to call it a group of people—it's more of a mentality, I can't pin it down.

Someone is exiting a shop, house, or other structure just as I'm walking past. They see me, bustle hard to get in front of me on the sidewalk, then slow the fuck down immediately and sort of waver across the sidewalk like a drunk.. I'm a fast and purposeful walker and this makes me deeply annoyed. Why can't you possibly just perceive the rate at which I'm walking and decide to hang the fuck back for one second in the doorway? Do you:

A) Have some inbuilt shitbag mentality where "getting ahead" literally means "getting ahead"
B) Have some sort of cognitive deficiency as far as perceiving the velocity and trajectory of objects in motion
C) Struggle to not be a parasite.

Aston Martin drivers who feel their car is too flash for a regular parking space in Sainsbury's, and so take up the whole of the paved motorcycle parking area.

my version of fields of salmon's is, when biking, idiot hotdog bicyclists who pass me in order to run a red light, but then in the next straightaway I get stuck behind them because when they're not doing reckless stupid things they are slowwww, so now I have to pass them. repeat at next red light.

his description also fits car drivers in Austin, TX to a T

basically at this point the most ubiquitous and galling savagery consists of being thoughtlessly in the way. living in nyc seems to consist of just endless variations on this theme per day.

one time in the office, one of our seasonal contractors basically jogged around me on the right to get to the cafeteria, and muttered (without looking back) "psst, slow traffic keep right"

People who put gifs in their goodreads reviews

people who don't respond to timely texts for over a week because they don't want to deal with them. even worse when this is just their operating behaviour

You just made me respond to one. Thanks Ross!

:)

People who shoot guns at approaching hurricanes. Deadly weapons are not props for some kind of idiotic performance art.

that’s really the only only social good for them tbh, I am torn

same here honestly. but chances are they'll hurt somebody else, not just themselves

anybody commuting to their office job in a pickup truck deserves severe physical pain

Not so much robbing from charity shops, but haggling.

Dude who wears over ear headphones into a movie theatre, that persistently flash a distracting light

>:( wtf
