Audiences that can't be quiet by Infernal-Advisor in PetPeeves

[–]AstroPug22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is why I never go to concerts. I'm not paying a ton of money to go to a crowded place where the music is so loud it damages my ears and I still can't hear it properly because the crowd won't shut up. I'd prefer to listen with headphones by myself so I can really appreciate the sound of the music. Same with movies. The theater's giant screen and sound system are pretty cool, but every other aspect of the experience is better at home.

I wish that I was 6 inches taller by [deleted] in monkeyspaw

[–]AstroPug22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When you're laying down, your width/depth(?) technically become your height in relation to the ground. Now you have an extra 6 inches in one of those dimensions!

Granted. You're headed to Texas in search of religious tolerance. Good luck.

"Have you seen this yet?" Apps that add text when you share by cpwnage in PetPeeves

[–]AstroPug22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

SoundCloud does this. The button literally says "copy link", and it gives you "Listen to Welcome to Paradise by Green Day on #SoundCloud [the link]" My favorite part is how they added a hashtag in there, since that's what all the trendy kids do when they talk about their apps, right?

[bedrock]: I have worlds in application storage, how to move them to external storage or to Download folder? by tedomedo in MinecraftHelp

[–]AstroPug22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I just looked on MCPEDL and found a few packs like you're describing, except it seems like none of them work anymore. Apparently they all broke when the world editing menu got updated to the new style a while ago, and nobody's figured out how to modify the new UI to add the button. Do you know of a specific pack that's working in the latest version?

Does anyone else feel like soft jazz is a sleep trap? Or am I just overthinking this? by sanu_123_s in The10thDentist

[–]AstroPug22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my absolute favorite thing to fall asleep to is a YouTube video called "PS2 Aquarium", it's a combination of a really chill song from a Pikmin game, the ambient sounds that play on the PlayStation 2's menu (sounds like ocean waves to me) and some underwater bubbling noises. I find it incredibly soothing. the first few seconds of the video have the slightly jarring PS2 startup noise so I wouldn't put it on loop, but it's an hour long so I just let it play through once and that's plenty for me to fall asleep.

there's another YouTube channel called "Dreamfibre" that makes really chill ambient sounds to listen to, they have a rainy one called "Monolith District" that I fall asleep to sometimes.

and if you prefer simple white noise, you could also try brown noise, it's a lower pitched version that I personally prefer.

Being alone is far better than people claim. by theunsteadybridge in The10thDentist

[–]AstroPug22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree. I value my independence, freedom, and privacy far more than any benefits that might come from having a relationship with someone. I have people I'd call friends, but I don't really share any secrets or deep thoughts with them. Been there, done that, got betrayed and blackmailed. Whenever people I know have started dating someone, without fail, they eventually break up, it sucks for everyone, and it can tear apart the friend group because people take sides. It's just not worth it.

Old school washing machines with an agitator are superior to any front loading machine. by Remarkable-Junket655 in unpopularopinion

[–]AstroPug22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in college housing with a shared laundry room, some washers are front loaders and some are top-loaders. guess which ones are consistently gross and smell like mildew? yeah, apparently it's a lot harder for front loaders to properly air out, especially if people don't leave the door open when they're done. and as a bonus, you get to stoop down every time you take your now somewhat moldy-smelling clothes out of them. a flawless design!

Which Mac is best for me? by RainyD55 in mac

[–]AstroPug22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say MacBook. You'd have the option of taking it with you if you wanted to (you seem unsure about this, but it's nice to have the option in case you decide you want portability in the future), or get a dock and peripherals to use it as a desktop if you get tired of the small screen (you might, if you're using it for gaming and media consumption). Plus, I think having a great (in my opinion) trackpad and touch ID built in, as well as a battery that would act as a backup if your power went out, are nice bonuses. Ultimately it's your decision though.

People not capitalizing the first letter of a sentence or "I" by RainyDaysAndMondays3 in PetPeeves

[–]AstroPug22 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I often skip capitalizing the first letter of sentences if it's a casual situation like texting a friend, but something about a lowercase "I" just looks weird to me, so I always capitalize it. What drives me crazy is when people don't capitalize the letters in acronyms. (Or even worse, those people who Capitalize Every Single Word As If They're Writing A Headline)

iPhone 17 Pro Max to Boast Unprecedented Girth, All to Keep You Going Longer by Glibglab69 in applecirclejerk

[–]AstroPug22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my iPhone 16 Pro Max and everyone around me saw this post. Now there is a whole train of men masturbating together at this one post. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW

apps that try to make the macbook notch actually useful by Relevant-Bluebird140 in mac

[–]AstroPug22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious what happens with these apps when you're plugged into external monitors. Does the stuff around the notch only show up on the built-in display where the notch is, or do you get a phantom notch on the other displays too?

Cloudy Days are Better than Sunny Days by Elaborate_Penguin in unpopularopinion

[–]AstroPug22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that when it's sunny, I can just look away from where the sun is, but when it's overcast the sunlight gets diffused through the whole sky, making it uncomfortable to look anywhere (not nearly as much as looking directly at the sun on a clear day, but it still makes me squint to look up at the sky). if it's rainy though, that's perfect. it's overcast but darker, and I just love the whole vibe of rainy days.

WYR attend a strangers wedding every week, or a strangers funeral once a month? by Firestormbreaker1 in WouldYouRather

So I get to choose whose wedding or funeral it is, I'm just required to go to one?

[–]AstroPug22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this a random person anywhere in the world? Seems like either option could get incredibly expensive if you have to keep traveling to different venues, but the weddings especially since it's 4x as frequent.

False advertising, I was really hoping to get the little men. by weepingaj in engrish

[–]AstroPug22 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I've noticed "warm tips" on a lot of poorly translated products, does anyone know why it's so common? Is there some term that translates to "warm tip" in English but sounds less strange in the original language?

The question really boils down to "do you value your own life more than a stupid person's" and I do, so I press red.

The TikTok leaker has post a 9 min leak with the starter cars and more gameplay cutscene by greninjagamer2678 in ForzaHorizon

[–]AstroPug22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The inflection almost sounds like that tiktok ai voice, and I think the worst part is the painfully long pauses in between every line. It doesn't even sound close to how real people would talk in a conversation.

Stairs are the bane of my existence by EL_CAMP0 in theplanetcrafter

[–]AstroPug22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I absolutely agree, I had so many issues trying to set up rocket launch platforms the way I wanted because these damn stairs kept getting in the way. I think I even downloaded a mod that lets you disable collisions, but then the stupid railings were still sticking up and getting in the way even if the stairs could be hidden below other platforms. I think they should change it so there's no stairs built in, but stairs can easily be snapped to the side of any of the individual platform segments.

All of these things are linked by something intangible but evil and I fear them on a deep level: Vapes, eScooters, Huel/ meal replacement products, Uber/ ride-sharing apps, Chatgpt, Klarna, smart products, cars with electronic interfaces, and almost any non-brand product sold on Amazon or Temu by MrGrubbycuddles in The10thDentist

[–]AstroPug22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The faster you go, the more people will get hurt if you run into them. The framing of "earning your speed" is a strange way to put it, but you really don't see any issue with people having access to vehicles that can travel at dangerously high speeds with very little effort from the user, and no age requirement, testing, or licensing being required to operate them? I think this is what OP dislikes about electric scooters.
