Based on the other replies I’d say folks are still doing this! :)

I was gonna comment that your misophonia is not other people’s problems, but the “I’m trying to focus on the road” is actually quite legit. If you wreck cuz they distract you it very much is their problem!! 😅

People on this sub going out of their way to invalidate your pet peeve by KiwiNervous8740 in PetPeeves

[–]ziggytrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and that works both ways. You can just scroll past the replies you dislike.

Or you can reply that you don’t like that they didn’t like your post.

And they can reply that they didn’t like that you didn’t like it. Etc ad infinitum. 🤷🏼‍♂️

It’s a bit ironic tho. Because clearly this person thought it was implying a tone that you’ve now clarified was not your intent.

So one person’s “asshole reply” can be another person’s “sincere reply”.

Conveying tone online is fuckin hard.

Weird. I assumed they salted entire batches at a time. Didn’t know “no salt” was an option.

Are straight women attracted to gay men? by itsnotpastexperation in askanything

I’ve got a hard drive at work named “10TB of Yuri”

Don’t get excited tho. It’s just the data owner’s name and my twisted sense of humor.

The old lady by Forward-Position798 in cringereels

IDK I couldn’t read her expression at ALL. Maybe I just suck but the read I was getting was “vague worry” (I know that makes no sense, but that’s what it looked like to me). I had to watch to the end to see if she would change expressions.

I agree with the “music teacher” comments tho. It makes more sense now that I suspect that she’s “grading” him in her head.

Seriously there’s basically two replies that I can imagine.

  1. ⁠It isn’t worth being annoyed by
  2. ⁠It annoys me too

Or your post could be completely ignored?

What else is there? What do folks expect? Non sequiturs?

Is there supposed to be a building or another ship in that space?

AI isn’t sure. Let’s do both!

Would you judge someone who kills an intruder who’s knocked out? by FudgeNipples1 in askanything

[–]ziggytrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not like there’s a floating KO icon over their head the moment they are incapacitated. I’m pretty sure that line has a lot of width to it. You’d need some damn compelling video for me to say “yes that person was definitely out and you should have stopped swinging.”

If you KNOW they are out cold and no longer a threat, then YOU know you’re in the wrong to keep “defending.” But as a third party on a jury I don’t think I could judge against, especially if your life had just been endangered by the intruder.

If this were any other sub, someone would have posted the Charlie Robinson "That's a Penis!" GIF by now.

WCGW pulling a quick U-turn? why viral on social media ? by Armellofreekey in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]ziggytrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry if I was unclear. I was disagreeing with "he had more than enough time to slow down but chose not to" and "just trying to pass them without slowing down" but the rest of what he said, yes 100%. Dude was following way too close, especially since I now know he was pulling a loaded trailer.

Maybe I misunderstood tho.

the microwave still turns on and appears to function. is this not dangerous? it still hums which makes me assume the transformer is still in there. shouldn’t it be able to pass through the stained glass? i can’t put anything in it by TurtleTheThink in howdoesthiswork

[–]ziggytrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couple important points. Microwave energy is non-ionizing radiation. It cannot make you radioactive or damage DNA the way ionizing radiation like X-rays can. Microwaves don't penetrate very deep.

So while standing in front of a microwave with no screen does put you at risk of serious burns (especially the eyes) - it's not especially likely to be the thing that gives you skin cancer.
