Delightful Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Remind me not to read youtube comments. Storming anti-Semites hanging around ruining everything. Seriously, go find something actually constructive to do with your life and stop leaving hurtful comments just lying around. GET A LIFE. Yes they're just trolls and yes it's youtube comments and yes I should just ignore it because they post these things in order to be hurtful. But G-D I wish I could go punch whoever wrote that in the face. And I'm aware that I'm complaining about The Internet and it's a futile exercise and anyone IRL and probably (?) you guys would just tell me to ignore it but I'm so angry right now. Someone get me a punching bag. 2

navybrandt he/him Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I hate tailgaters... if you've been a driver for very long you know what I mean. Enough said. 2
Joe ST he/him Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 *sends you all cuddlebots* we won't ignore your protests about the horribleness of some corners of the internet. It's horrible but you're allowed to rant about it. 1
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 The batteries in this house's smoke alarms are apparently dying. Rather than send a card or flash a yellow light or something a civilized smoke alarm would do, these alarms announced their impending demise with a piercing wail not unlike the one they would give in case of actual fire. According to these smoke alarms, the best time to do this is 3:30 in the morning. When I'm home alone. So because of their sensitive ears, I had to evacuate the pugs out the back door, then rush around the second story frantically changing batteries. I didn't have enough for the bedrooms, so I'll have to run to Walmart as soon as I'm presentable. I feel like I just got beat up by someone in Shardplate. 5
Joe ST he/him Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 OGOSH that sounds AWFULLL *sends you a big bunch of cuddlebots to help look after pugs and punch the heck out of your alarms before fixing and rebatterying them* 2
Voidus Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I second Joe's suggestion of punching the problem until it's fixed. 2
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 You both have good ideas. And thanks. I know I'll have to get up off the sofa soon....but it doesn't feel important right now.
Joe ST he/him Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 *sends some more pugbots to compliment your actual pugs for sofa-cuddles until you're ready for the world* 1
Joe ST he/him Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 they do whatever it takes to make sure you're having a nice day 1

They never go off in the middle of the day, it's always in the dark of night and right when you're in the deepest level of sleep so you wake up in a panic and spend several minutes freaking out trying to figure out why the world is ending. And naturally, the only way to shut them up is to take out and/or replace the battery, which usually involves finding a ladder. 2

Not if you're me! 6' 7" has its uses. > Anyways, yeah, fire alarms suck. Like the one time I stayed up practically the whole night 'cause of one alarm's "low battery" chirping. Not because it was loud, but because my cousin had scared the wits out of me earlier with a scary story. Or the time the fire alarms woke us up at 6:45 in a hotel in England. And it wasn't a drill. Somebody had blown a fuse, and now I'm being woken up by a loud, red, blinky thing on the ceiling. But, of course, we tolerate them as they may save our lives one day. Maybe. Assuming we're not too desensitized to their noise to just ignore them. Edited July 7, 2015 by Slowswift

My experience is it comes with a lot more back-pain than usefulness but being able to not need a ladder is pretty nice I suppose 1
Delightful Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Back pain is directly height-related? Or you mean from ducking?
FeatherWriter she/her Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I second Joe's suggestion of punching the problem until it's fixed. A very Cullen Rutherford way of thinking... 1

I have no issue avoiding spoiler boxes and that kind of thing, but YouTube comments ---that black hole sucks me in, and I either end up sad and angry, or just feeling really really dumb. Thank you.
Joe ST he/him Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 *sends some cuddlebots which will hide the comments for you, and replace them with cute pictures and silly cat videos*

I don't think there's any need to feel dumb. If I read one YouTube comment, all of a sudden I have to read them all. It's like…it's like the blatant hatred and idiocy is a train wreck of words, and I can't look away, no matter how horrible and sickening I find it.

Just when it's aimed at you, especially if it's from some perfectly innocent video, you feel like you've been punched in the heart. Edited July 7, 2015 by Delightful
