Sad potato man, loves grunge & metal, beer & animals!
Sat outside waiting for a hedgehog to come back and wondering how you take a photo in such low light.

Can hear all my neighbours sneaking out to water their lawns thinking the others are all in bed 🤣

Jesus Christ. #Cross on prime. Makes you watch a "what's on then next episode" then a recap...

Just let me watch the next episode, immediately, like every other fucking TV show!

If you don't care about the pope then Reddit is not the plane to be today. Even r/atheism is waffling about him.

Excellent night at #thebandghost #Skeletour in Manchester.

21000 people singing Cirice, Kiss the Go-Goat and Square Hammer.. fucking awesome!

In #Manchester to see #Ghost and loving the vibe!

Life would be so much better if every day had this percentage of goths and Papa Emerituses

How come in streaming TV you only get subtitles in your own language?

Currently watching 2 guys have a long conversation in Farsi.

Turned subtitles on to find out what the chat is about:

[Both are speaking in Farsi]

Really fucking helpful!

I've hit the point with #ChicagoPD, #ChicagoFire and #ChicagoMed where COVID lockdowns kicked in.

Odd watching TV that's partly how things were and partly how they worried it would be!

All these people who survived wearing masks!

Holy shit. Pressed pause then resume... It jumped to 15 minutes in.

I pay for #PrimeTV only to get adverts... Black spaces where adverts should be... Constant push for shit I hate like sports and reality TV, shit I have never and will never watch, no way to block topics.

#piracy is the future
Watching #ChicagoMed and chuckling at the difference between Brian Tee in this versus #Reacher.

Was finding the episode confusing...

It turns out when I clicked "skip recap" (I'm not American) it jumped to the last 7 minutes of the show.

Jesus Christ. They fucking mangled the ending. #Reacher

It would've been way better if it stuck to the book version. I've waited 8 episodes for that fight and now we get this instead #Reacher

Cars need some signals on the back for "Sorry, my bad!" and "TURN YOUR FUCKING HIGH BEAMS OFF YOU CRUSTY JIZZ SOCK!"

I open Amazon or Netflix and get constant adverts & recommendations for sports and reality TV despite not once watching either in 5 years.

You couldn't pay me to watch that shit.

But someone pays to have me ignore it.

Great, so now Mr Free Speech is going to buy our election too? FFS!

If the cookie consent doesn't offer "reject all" in one click I don't even visit the site.
Things that annoy me far more than they should:

- Cookie consents
- Those bottle tops that don't separate
- Word documents default line spacing when you start a new one

YouTube adverts are now worse than terrestrial television and Google/Alphabet can choke if they think I'm paying to remove them.

I just refuse to buy anything advertised to me if it being advertised inconveniences me. It's genuinely disadvantageous.

People who go on a band's social feed to tell them they don't like their sound are a special kind of dull.

Is there anything more cringey than perfume/ cologne adverts?

They make me feel embarrassed for everyone involved!

If you're going out to see a gig, don't listen to too much music on your way there. You'll ruin your music appetite and spoil the evening for yourself.

Also the new trend of subtitles working the whole time that the characters are speaking your/their language but suddenly stop working when a new language is used for a quick interaction! 🤬
I know there are bigger issues to focus on, and I haven’t lost sight of them…

But can movies/TV figure out sound so one volume works the whole time? Why is the dialogue a whisper, but a passing car sounds like it just drove through my wall?

Rant over 😑

Is it possible to change the interests specified at sign up?

I ticked the very generic "music" one and now my feed is all Drake, Kendrick and Taylor Swift.

Artists & genres I simply have no interest in.

Does this work if the person being impersonated doesn't have an account?
