People who apparently think the pandemic is only happening to them, and want to hijack zoom meetings to vent, as if these are administrative problems “they” could fix, if they wanted to. Bonus points for angrily asking questions its quite clear no one can possibly answer. People that don’t read their damn emails, and then complain that administration doesn’t communicate. ---

People who want to talk to you, but show little or no interest in what you have to say. I call Dad every day or 2. He’ll talk for 30-40 minutes and never ask how I’m doing, where I’ve been, what my plans are. Every call is 95% him talking. ---

If I want to watch a YouTube video on the BIG SCREEN instead of my celfone, I just cast it from my fone to my tv. ---

You’re getting the next video the algorithm has in mind whether you want it or not. Screw you, viewers. When did this start? I watched some videos on youtube this morning and it didn’t AutoPlay anything. ---

It’s been several years since I have bought yogurt in the supermarket, but I still distinctly recall that a serving size is supposed to be 8 ounces. Why am I only able to find 6 ounce cups of yogurt? This is fucking nonsense. ---

I watched some videos on youtube this morning and it didn’t AutoPlay anything. It started just a week or so ago for me. It’s apparently creeping into everyone’s YouTube. Google “how to shut off autoplay in YouTube on a PC” or something similar you’ll find I’m not the only one. It’s started on my work PC. Now my home one is like that, too. It’s driving me crazy. ---

> [@Capn\_Carl](#): > > People who want to talk to you, but show little or no interest in what you have to say. I’ve got friends (so to speak) like that. I also have kind of weird friends who will call, and then…sort of sit and say nothing, leaving _me_ to do all the talking. All I get from them are occasional “uh-huh” and “oh, yeah” comments. I have to carry the whole call. What’s the darn point? After ten minutes, I cut if off and say I gotta go now, good to hear from ya, thanks, bye. ---

WAG it’s something in your set up. On every tech I use, it’s toggled off. I have to choose to toggle on. ---

Funny that - last month at home I had it toggled off and had no reason to change it. Since I’m the only one with access to this computer I’m not sure how the F you’d explain that - other than YouTube or MicroSucks dicking around with my computer. Which is not beyond possibility. ---

ZOOM Bombers Most 12 step fellowship meetings are not meeting in person now. Most meet online via ZOOM. They are regularly scheduled and most have a password to enter. All meeting etiquette rules apply. Whatever your feelings are about 12 fellowships are, that is not important. We set up attend these meetings for ourselves, We let anyone seeking recover in. A ZOOM Bomber is an asshole who is not there for recovery. When they volunteer to share, they quickly spout off racist or vulgar words, as many as they can, before the host boots them out. Some with computer skills will make their pictures play porn images while they say racist things. Fuck all ZOOM Bombers. Lowlife pieces of shit who have nothing better to do than annoy others. I mean, you have to wait till the host unmutes you, usually after the readings and main speaker, so you had to wait sometimes _30 minutes_ just so that you could shout ‘nigger’ or some other mindless trash. Even a racist shitstain has better things to do. ---

> [@Procrustus](#): > > Repeating things more than two times. When a radio add repeats a phone number twice, fine. When they read it a third time, my head practically explodes. Not sure why my brain drew that particular line in the sand. What I hate are voicemails that ramble and repeat all sorts of jibber-jabber before finally getting to the point (“I’m calling about a case…” What? You aren’t calling me on my work phone just to say hello? I’m crushed…) and then stating the case number and phone number to return the call with the lightning speed of a livestock auctioneer on meth. ---

> [@CorpusNeptune](#): > > When you’re watching a YouTube video On the subject of YouTube videos, there is a plague of idiots who post five-minute videos to explain something with no meaningful visual component that could be explained perfectly well in a paragraph or two of text that could be read in ten seconds.
