Mildly Infuriating

It means this

Anyone have this?

Is anyone else getting dozens of spam messages every day claiming they won some prize? I blame DOGE for leaking my private email address

I don't get how we are in the year 2025, most advanced technology we have ever had in human existence.... And everything is behind a paywall. Literally everything. Whenever I search the web for a solution as an individual person, not a business or Mega Corporation, just a simple person trying to do a few creative things... Everything is behind a paywall

Walmart near me has started using receipt checkers lately and they don't even really do their job, it's kind of a gimmick really. They just look at the receipt for a second Don't even look at your cart, but they stop you every time. It's just such a waste of my time when I'm in a hurry. I had one person even tell me that it was required by law. No it's not! There's no law in the USA that says they have to check your receipt.

And I'm sure it's annoying you too. You can't view a single YouTube video anymore anywhere one is posted, without that stupid notification popping up. Which forces you to have to go to the shitty YouTube site, log in, hope through whatever verification checks that there is and finally, you can watch the video.

Got spam today from someone trying to tap this new market and create a following.

Dude was obviously baited into a staged situation. Words are worthless anyways. People that focus on words are imbeciles. Actions are what matter. Words are as hollow and meaningless as intentions.

I have lupus and other health issues, so getting sick knocks me on my ass way more than the average person. Of course I come down with something just before a week where I have plans that coincide with the expected nice weather. Guess I'm not gonna do what I had wanted to. -_-

I like Firefox as my preferred mobile browser, so I pit their search widget on my home screen. But every time I reboot my phone, it removes the widget. It can take a couple attempts before it shows up again in the widget selection screen too.

The only time my neighbor starts a fire in their back yard is when there is a red flag fire warning. We don't have many of these warnings per year, like one or two. On these days, they have a fire without fail. Yeah, they're a libertarian. Loves Rogan and Musk. Fucking dangerous, these people. Adolescent contrarians have more functioning logic.

The news of the tragic death of Gene Hackman (RIP!) reminded me that even tho I had always wanted to watch it, I had never seen the French Connection. I did a web search to find out who was streaming it, and I noticed in the search results that archive.org had it on their site. Just Watch said on their site that Amazon Prime could stream it for free. My wife has a Prime account, so I made a mental note and decided to go to Archive.org and watch it there since I'm sitting at my computer. It loads up and starts playing, no problems, and then at about 10 minutes in, my browser throws an error, and Voila! just like that the video is gone, suddenly no longer available. I get immediately suspicious and log in to Prime, and no, in fact, I cannot stream it for free, but I can rent it for $3.99. Nobody on this planet can convince me that Amazon's greed didn't have something to do with it getting yanked from Archive.org...

Okay so a friend convinced me to donate blood so I went there today and all of my vitals were fine but I had to fill out a form and while I was doing that I started seeing weird shapes and then everything went black.

It's almost as if American tabloids have learned they can generate clicks by refusing to recognize the reality of the situation.

I'm sick of being laidoff. Got laid off again today, second time in 4 years in a big corporate layoff. Seems I can't ever find any respite these days. No matter how hard I work or how much I put in, just bound to be laid off and even though I've been recognized officially through merit repeatedly, these companies here in the USA just keep laying people off And then passing all the jobs on to India for 3K a year salary....

but everytime I search for it, my TV just says, "sure" or "ok," and increases the volume.

My policy normally has renewed in October, but I had made huge changes to it in April ‘24. I thinking it has changed the due date I went to look at my upcoming bill to find out the policy is inactive.

I have an older Canon MG6320 ink jet printer with a touch interface.

These are some of the charges filed against Phillip Koons.

In the past 24 hours, I've gotten three calls from mortgage companies looking for my ex-wife. I was pretty sure that she wouldn't put my phone number on her applications, so I asked the last guy who called how he got my number. He explained that they watch EVERYBODY'S credit, and when a mortgage inquiry pops up on anyone's report, they call every number that's ever been associated with that person, just so they can try to snatch the business from the company that ran the inquiry.

So the code hosting site Codeberg has been experiencing attacks by far right organizations for a bit now. Recently, the attacks escalated when someone created a repo and then mentioned a bunch of usernames in bulk. The result was that people includong myself received email notifications containing hate speech.

So instead of my usual tube of store-brand I grabbed a tube of Pringles because they had fancy limited edition flavours.

My car is stuck at the dealership waiting for a part since November. I'm now sitting in their waiting room waiting for them to service their own car that they are lending me.

This happened to me a few times lately.

Context: I started [email protected] to be an English-language comm for Norway. There's an existing Norway comm which focuses on Norwegian-language content and discourages too much English in the comm. I posted a simple "Hey I'm starting this comm" post, because obviously relevant. The mod took down my post without any comment, reply, or reason. Now they lurk in my English version comm, and downvote like half the posts. They've never actually upvoted a thing.

There is an "actually infuriating" community. Go use that for political and other terrible things happening in the world. That is not the purpose of the community. All of that is important but not the point of this community. Go post where it belongs and let me have a break from it here.
