Things That Are Bullsh*t (47 Viewers)

Is this so you can start and stop your shower remotely? Why would anyone buy this? I can’t think of any benefits that a screen interface would add to a shower. Maybe if you had a teenaged boy and wanted to limit the length of their showers or something I guess.
Can you download shower statistics from it? Does it give feedback to help people take more efficient showers?

Hot water "as a Service"?

 

[Highli99]

Having to shower in the kids bathroom because the master shower uses a screen/tablet interface and somehow screen/shower are no longer connected devices.

Not everything HAS to be a screen. Almost nothing should ONLY be a screen.

I guess that might explain why the live stream has been down. Please fix asap.

I’ve switched to pool and hot tub for meantime.

It’s still a Bubly Barrie Bonanza, but less risqué.

Its everywhere over here.

My couch had an offered subscription. Cars offered it. The one I actually pay for that’s ridiculous, the dogs collar has a subscription for invisible fence.

Wait. YOU'RE EKRICKET??! You seem so much nicer than on PCF

This sums up how I interpreted all of his posts before:

What’s bullshit is forming an opinion on someone from an *allegedly* incorrect perspective based on their posts, waiting to meet an asshat and being confused that one of the nicest and most thoughtful folk at a meetup is THAT GUY.

*I’m the villain in this scenario.

XaaS has officially jumped the shark.

Heated car seats as a service? GTFO.

Hell, there are washing machines over here with subscription based features now….

Just the idea of this makes me angry!

Jeepers, didn’t realize y’all were getting it as well. From my very little subjective experience, the greater EU public and consumers did not seem like the people to mess with.

I would’ve thought that XaaS creep would’ve been stopped with how strongly consumer protection is, y’all got the right to fix on electronics, staved off a couple of other shittifications of products.

Feels like a living episode of black mirror.

We're making the script for future seasons...

Man, ain’t that the truth.

Come to think of it, every single thing we’ve purchased for the house has asked for login. Buy a fridge? Had to get the Samsung home app. Setting up adt security? Had to get google home. Tv? Wouldn’t even allow me access to download apps like Hulu and other streaming services until I signed into a google account.

And everything is a click wrap agreement.

Lol every company in the world has all my data, yet I still have to drive around with all my birthplace documentation.

Confusing times to be sure.

”Tonight on…”, ”in this episode…”, ”after the break”.

I’m gonna watch the thing ffs, I don’t want any tl;dr cliff notes/spoilers.

 

[Zandy]

Broccoli.
Intermittent windshield wipers with only one setting.
The use of black ink to sign documents.
Generic Post-its.
The argument against the Oxford comma.
Jumbo index playing cards.
Restaurants that close before 11pm.
Non-means-tested government benefits.
Skinny jeans.
Apple maps.
The fact that my office power has been out for an hour.
@bentax1978's opinions regarding broccoli.

In before "This thread."

Jumbo index playing cards are the best ones otherwise valid list

Welcome to the “Reels” generation!

I mean, who even has the attention span to watch a full 30 minute show anymore?!? I can just get the important parts from 10 different 30sec reels??

That crap goes back at least to the 80s/90s, been hating it ever since.

Yeah, but I feel it’s gotten significantly worse in recent years

9 years after that post, I wonder if Jbutler still has the same dislike for readable Jumbo indexes.

Hinting at what is going to happen after the break and recapping what happened before the break are signs of low-quality content, IMO.

I hate it too.

 

[dpeks13]

my PM requests to hack @BarrieJ3's coffee pot have gone up in the last few days, I guess this thread is the reason

Even worse when they constantly announce "After the break..." and the thing being announced only comes at the very end of the show.

Me trying to update the front door code (it’s still 0000).

You have to go with 12345. Better password. I use it on my luggage

"It's in your home ... it could be killing you ... we'll tell you what it is ... tomorrow!"

"You've been eating it since your mother made it ... it could give you cancer ... we'll tell you what it is ... a week from Tuesday!"

My favorite from a local news broadcast:

"Escaped killer in the Nashville area. We'll tell you which neighborhoods need to be on the lookout at 10."

Yet you make every cellphone at my poker game blast an Amber Alert at 10:45 pm. Believe me, I'm much more likely to take action like locking the doors and seeing off my guests at the night's end, than I am to go outside and report every 2015 blue Ford Fusion that may have a disgruntled parent with a 4-year old in the back seat.

Look, I only said that you could attend the game, but you had to wear pants.

No matter how many times I type the word “denoms,” my stupidphone tries to correct it.

Also, denoms are bullsh!t.

I hear you. I've had it with fracs, and ones too. Also 25s and hundreds. 5s are ok, but they're on notice.
