What's your pet peeve in RL?

And so the reason behind Cid's rage is starting to take shape.

Is your hatred of Tumblr somehow related to the bigotry thing? Or is that just a separate pet peeve?

As far as I can tell, Tumblr is where this shit festers and is perpetuated.

The reasons for my rage are numerous, but if you're looking for a singular one you should boil it down to: Humanity is awful.

It's 2013 (nearly 2014) and I still can't italicize or bold words on Facebook. Why isn't this a thing yet?

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

I'm tired of having to use caps for emphasis. If people abuse bold or italics (or both), I'll hide them from my feed. Which is such a great thing. Now I can stop seeing the stupid bullshit you post without offending you for deleting you as a friend! Everyone wins!

One of the big things that helped Facebook take over myspace was that you have only a very limited amount of customization. It keeps things useful across a wide range of platforms, and things look so much better and more consistent.

The other thing is that the comment box is meant to be simple and usable without a bunch of hassle; introducing formatting would ruin that pretty quickly.

Well that would be fine if I generally spoke in a monotone voice with no emphasis, but since I don't, it doesn't work for me.

Myspace became stupid the minute it started allowing glitter graphics and shitty music on people's pages. I think that a text editor is not that big a deal. I doubt 85% of the users would even know how to change to italic or bold to begin with.

They could always use Markdown or keyboard shortcuts without touching the GUI at all. Kinda like how you can do advanced searches in Google straight from their simple, featureless search box with just a few quotation marks and plus/minus signs. Power users get to eat their cake and things still Just Work for the average user.

And to be honest I don't know why we needed a feature that auto-plays videos in the feed, even though they play without sound, it's pointless. I never wanted to see all of my friends' videos in the first place, so I don't know why they are forcing me into it now. It needlessly slows down the page's loading times for something I should have total control over. That's a bad change.

So it looks like now that the GTX 700 series is on the market all the 600 series cards are just up and disappearing. I guess I should have seen this coming, but I was kind of holding out for a price drop so I could get my hands on GTX 670 without having to drop $300+ on one. Now I have to research the 700 series instead. What a drag.
