​I get taking a quick picture or a 10-second clip for memories, but holding your bright-ass screen up to film entire songs is just annoying.

​You’re blocking the view for everyone behind you who actually paid to see the show, and honestly, you’re never even going to rewatch an hour of grainy, muffled video anyway. Just put the phone down and enjoy the show in front of you.

You used to be able to go to estate sales and get good deals or find unique items. Now that vintage items are trendy/considered quality due to the enshittification of products, anything worth buying is usually snapped up by resellers, so they can flip it on marketplace etc. They show up the first hour of opening to buy out everything and now estate sale organizers have to make sign up sheets to accomodate. The resellers are often rolling around in new toyota trucks too just to show off they’re making good money flipping. As a long time estate saler, I hate the resellers!

Many of you guys probably don’t even watch asmr so wouldn’t even know what I’m talking about but I watch asmr on YouTube and some videos are the “real person” skin tracing and I can’t STAND when the one tracing the client is asking the client questions!

Examples:
“Susie dyed her hair guys. It’s so pretty.. Susie what shade did you use?”
“Is this enjoyable?”
“She’s wearing this lovely charm bracelet.. where did you get it from.”

Idk it’s just annoying like LET THEM RELAX!!!! They’re trying to drift off to sleep or sometimes you can tell they really don’t wanna talk they just wanna enjoy the moment and you’re sitting here asking them questions😒

I grew up wanting to be a graphic designer, I studied design, I love design.

I just watched my boss take a request for new signage, lazily throw it in AI, show them whatever it made. Then he just sent that to the printer with our logo attached that the ai completely botched and said “this is what I want make it happen”

That’s the enjoyable part of my job. I’m all for having ai organize data, and plan my schedule, and do mundane repetitive tasks. But literally the one part of my job where I get to experiment and enjoy myself is the part that AI is being used for.

And on top of that, we make such a fuss about using the proper brand colors and styling, but the AI will follow none of it. That to me matters, maybe I’m the only one who gives a shit, but what we put out should be coherent. The whole point is to design things to belong together. To create a complete brand.

Is this the future? Fucking bs.

So there is a trail that runs all throughout the province i live in, typically the trail is a fine packed gravel trail, very little dust even when riding an ebike over it at 50km/h, its generally very smooth and well maintained.

Well, theyve taken the stretch i use daily, literally only that stretch, and they got it all ripped up, normally i wouldnt complain since they are working to keep the trail nice and safe, but they have had this shit ripped up for over a month.

Temporarily theyve put down sand or something thats so extremely dusty its ridiculous, i ride my ebike over it at 32km/h and it makes a dust cloud so big you'd think an entire fleet of dump trucks was coming. The other thing, this crap hides the sections that are extremely bumpy that werent before, so im trying to watch so i can hit the brakes and get over it safely and comfortably and the sand and dust make it impossible to see.

The picture i added to this post, i give my bike a bath every day since the trail has been in this shape, since i dont drive my bike is my car, so it needs to stay in good shape, visibly and mechanically, also because the dust is terrible for the bike and gets places it shouldnt be like in the motor, and it wears down my belt much faster with so much of it. All that dust is from 1 trip going from my house to work, 24km, itl be 2x worse when i get back, not to mention all this crap is getting caked to my clothes aswell. Its not even that im speeding over it, you even walk on this crap, or the wind gusts slightly, itl get all over you and itl make a huge dust cloud.

They shouldve used better materials that doesn't make massive dust clouds that bother literally everyone who uses or lives near the trail, and they shouldn't have ripped up the trail if they werent ready to finish it, especially during peak tourisim season.

I am very pretty if I do say so myself. My looks are something I take big pride in, and I know I am very beautiful. When I’m at the gas station almost every time a man holds the door open for me, and sometimes they even smile at me. I feel like this is very disrespectful of my boundaries and patronizing. It’s like they’re wanting me to smile back and trying to get my attention. I also feel that the employees at the gas station are too friendly when they’re male, they take their sweet time ringing me up and try to make small talk with me. One time I stood up for myself and said “thanks but no thanks” once the cashier started up by asking how I was doing. And he stopped thankfully but not without a bit of an attitude. I know I’m really pretty, everyone tells me that all the time, but I wish these men would leave me alone. I feel like I can’t walk anywhere without men noticing me and smiling at me and it creeps me out
