The 'Things That Piss Me Off' Thread

Learned today that both my broadband and phone tariff are going up. Presume the poor execs at Sky and O2 won't be getting their bonuses this year with times this tough. Might even see them at the food banks with the 8,500 frontline staff Sainsbury's are going to lay off.

That pisses me off. They are clearly understaffed as it is. What next? us helping them stack some shelves, for club card points? FFS!!

Most of us are already checking out ourselves. And if you need advice? good luck on your hunt around the store. The supermarkets could have all the money in the world, and still want more! They did a roaring trade over lock down. Yet still.. their service is half arsed.

They killed off the butchers and bakers to a large degree. Promising us the convenience of getting it all under one roof.
Now they have shut the Deli counters and is now pre packed. At least with lidl and aldi, you get more bang for your buck.
 
Every time I get the urge to play FC24, I have to install every bi-weekly TU.
It wouldn't actually be a big problem if you had to check every time whether used mods have already received an update.
Yes, if it weren't for the problem with the paid mods, some of which were last updated almost a month ago. Fifer Realism Mod - sigh, sigh. And some others too.
Or in general, that apparently you can only get mods for cash. And then always refer to this Discord for help. I don't know anything about Discord and I find it totally confusing anyway. Yes, maybe I'm just an old fart.

But the way the modding scene has developed for EA's football games is just sickening.Pes has been dead for years. What's left... Except growing older lonely in the armchair in front of the TV.

And all just to make you even more pissed off because the gameplay is so modest. So much so that you want to eat the gamepad and throw it out the window.

I could puke in all four corners of my apartment. Honestly! Who else enjoys this?
In any case, I don't enjoy it anymore. If it weren't for the desire to play authentic and realistic virtual football.
And yes, any retro or indie games don't help much.

Sorry for rant.
Translated with google

I'm done! :RANT:

Definitely not. Get out there (if your well enough) experience more, meet new people. At least give younger people the benefit of your life experience. Being "lonely" could be a time to reflect without distractions, what you really need in your life. And if needed make adjustments to be a better human being.

I know with your health issues buddy, that this may not directly apply to you, but i hope you can take something from it.
Loneliness & depression are unfortunately friends of mine at times. But the lighter nights always give me hope. I think i may suffer with S.A.D. disorder. Because in the uk the last few months have been pretty dark and overcast in the daytime. I found it very hard to lift my spirit.

And you have a drink or few to enjoy the life with such beauties! 🙃
Life is to short to get pissed off every day because god damn EA or Konami.
 
Watching a documentary on Swedish TV.
It's about CS and skins, and how those skins are used as "money" on special gambling sites.
It's so fucking embarrassing that in game content is allowed to be bought.
Lootboxes should be banned
 



STOP THIS SENNSLESS MADNESS!

I can no more. Why the fuck it doesn't ends. No, the politicians bring death more and even more to the people... 😭🤬



Gives me the TV show "Fallout" a bit of sour & bitter taste.

From what I've understood, everything started with the Yuzu emulator. The wrong itch was scratched and it snowballed to Citra too (the N3DS) emulator.

They occasionally hit sites that host ROMS, but the last years it gets more frequent.

I've seen in the past Nintendo lawsuits, but it was for specific projects and usually when the time to license something was coming, like Pokémon Prism, a fanmade ROMhack.

Wasn't this the classic noob move since always?

-Register to a forum

-create a thread with a simple question (no matter if the answer is in another topic)

-after the first 5 minutes that nobody replied, being impatient and create 2 more clone threads with the exact same question, as title

-bonus stage: go your third clone post that nobody replies, and start flaming with quotes like: anyone!!!???, where is everyone? Where are my replies, ef you all!!!

This one fucks me the hardest.

I get it, no one is born all knowing and we all know nothing about something new. But for fuck sake do a bit of discovery first, It's never been easier to find something out from 5 seconds of typing on your damn phone, we all have the most powerful resource for knowledge in the palm of our hands and you use the same energy to type the question into a search bar to get an instant result instead and type it into a PM that could take a day to get answered.

Fair enough if you've tried something and it's still not working and you are stumped, but when it's a low effort "send me download link bro" - Fuck off.
 
American Supreme Court is already preparing for Trump to become a dictator and isn't even hiding it. There is fresh news of bullshit decisions from them every other day now. I'm thinking about maybe taking a trip to see New York late this year before the whole country goes down the sh*tter.

Wait until she starts going to kindergarten and early years in elementary school. You will remember diseases that you thought were extinct since 2 centuries ago.

Until now my son has got past, Flu type A, streptococcus (wife was also infected by those two) and maybe rubella, not sure about this, he had red spots around ears for five days but without fever thankfully.

I am always amazed cause he is fully vaccinated of course, and that when I was going school in the 90s , I never get any of those diceseas.

Now, especially after COVID lockdowns you can see 15 kids of a class of 20, been infected by the same thing, especially during winter.

These little surprise games when picking up the daughter from kindergarten, what's on the sheets at the entrance door. "Hand foot mouth in the hedgehogs group", "Lice in the rabbits group", "Scarlet fever in the mice group". Ah those were the days... 🤒

She's in nursery. In Scotland you'll have kids attend nursery at different age groups from as early as around six months to four/five years old, depending on when they start primary school. It's obvious she picks up a lot of it there, given the number of emails they send about various outbreaks! Then you have to keep them away from nursery, leaving you to scramble around for childcare or take the day off work. And of course you don't get your money back from the nursery, which is the best part of £100 a day!

She spends one day at my parents with her cousin. And another at my girlfriend's sister's with her two kids. So that's more avenues to get sick. It's constant! God bless Calpol.
 
I don't know where to post this, so sorry if it's wrong here. But I'd like to say, that I hope, that all my fellas english daddys here on evoweb and his daughters are healthy after I heard about that horrible and terrible knife attack that killed 3 young girls.

My condolences to the families! 💔🖤

So glad we have the system we have here, i was on a fully paid paternity leave for 9 months, and my then gf had 9 months prior to me, and i think daycare costs a maximum of 100 euros a month.
Not rubbing anything in, just glad to have that system

That's wild. Is that company or government policy?

My girlfriend's work doesn't have its own policy so it was the government's of:

Statutory Maternity Pay ( SMP ) is paid for up to 39 weeks. You get: 90% of your average weekly earnings (before tax) for the first 6 weeks. £184.03 or 90% of your average weekly earnings (whichever is lower) for the next 33 weeks. She was granted a full year but after the 39 weeks her pay stopped completely.

I had two weeks of leave at full pay.

The cost of childcare here is outrageous. So expensive AND places are limited. The two probably go hand in hand to be fair.
