I don’t know what I did yesterday but now my back is tweaked. Right between the shoulder blades. Dull pain all day long with quick jolts when I lift my arms or turn my head or even take a deep breath. I know a good night’s sleep would fix me up but I have to be up at 3am to volunteer setting up a local marathon that is running tomorrow.

Another is people that claim to be a big fan of say comics. But keep reading a comic they hate. If I don't like a comic I stop reading it. But then look at how many people hate WWE and/or TNA. And watch it every week. I am sure I got way more free time than most people, but even with more free time I am not going to spend it watching something I don't like. I will admit, I did this with Naruto and Bleach. I was so far into the story when it started to go downhill, that I needed to see how it ended, regardless of how bad it got.

Re-sign and resign Ex. “I hope (random athlete) resigns in the offseason.” Really? You want him to quit? The hyphen makes all the difference. I've seen thus in written print many times. For the first time today I actually heard it in spoken word. A local news anchor was talking about Steve Pearce re-signing with the Red Sox, but for some reason clearly pronounced it "resigns" instead of "re-signs".

Twitter.
I'm not on it and have avoided it from the start. But it unavoidably creeps up on "articles" online or typically when people complain about what people are saying online. Iono how people do it.

Iono how people do it. When it's used to back up any news story ever. 20 years ago, would you have seen ANY news article where they quoted random people on the street as part of the article? Now pretty much everything has a "people on Twitter reacted with..." section.

Or sometimes the subject of the article itself is "Twitter is reacting ______" and Im like "Who gives a f***?"

People who only focus on one thing. Like my mother would watch Castle and ignore the side characters because she only cared about scenes with Beckett and Castle in them. Ryan and Esposito deserved love too, geez.
Or friends who refuse to pay attention to great wrestling because they only have eyes for ONE guy in a company... their loss, but damn it makes it hard to talk to them about stuff sometimes.

Google recently did something so that the complete=0 function no longer works, meaning I can't turn off auto-fill/suggestions. f*** you, Google. Anyone have any suggestion to disable Google auto-fill/suggestions in Firefox? Hopefully permanently. Edit: Never mind, I found a solution.

Those dumbass commercials for on demand sports or whatever. They start out with a person in shadow while the announcer says stuff like, "He's found the endzone ten times today. He's a professional football player...watcher." And it's some asshole with a remote control.
Like, am I supposed to think it's cool that you sit on your ass watching sports all day? Or do you expect me to think it's an actual player who scored ten touchdowns or played forty minutes in an NHL game? So dumb.
And also, any commercial that has a living room full of friends watching a football game. Somebody has on an Antonio Brown jersey, another has on Rodgers, another has on Brady, another has on Khalil Mack, Aaron Donald, etc. But they all act like something amazing happened on the tv.
What f***ing game are you watching where a Steelers, Patriots, Rams, Bears, Seahwaks, etc. fan would react the same way? If half the people were wearing Cowboys and the other half were wearing Redskins or whatever, and some cheered while others looked upset, that would make sense.
This annoy anybody else?

Picture this:
You’re at a get together of some kind. A fun, casual social event. Perhaps it’s a party with a meetup group or club you’ve recently joined. Perhaps you’re simply at home with some friends. You want to break the ice and put everyone in a good mood. And suddenly, someone comes up with the perfect idea: “I have the Jackbox Party Pack! Who wants to play Quiplash?”
You eagerly say yes. You love Quiplash! It’s a great chance to have some laughs, and also brush up on your own comedic talent; you consider yourself something of an amateur comedian, if you do say so yourself, so it’s always fun and engaging to make some jokes of your own.
Everyone takes out their phones and logs into the game, and soon it’s begun. You look at your prompts: they’re ones with lots of potential, such as “If a winning coach gets Gatorade dumped on him, what should a losing coach be dumped with?” Or “A roller coaster you probably shouldn’t ride would be called...”. You pause and think, and come up with a couple of answers you’re pretty proud of. They may not be the greatest comedy ever written, but they’re witty, use some good puns, and all in all, it’s some good work of yours. You’re sure you’ll easily get enough votes to win the round.
Finally, your prompt comes; the first one is maybe the roller coaster one. It’s time for everyone to see the jokes you had written! Yours comes up first, and everyone lets out a hearty laugh. You are encouraged!
And then, your opponent’s comes up, and it simply says...”I’m Pickle Riiiiiiiiick!!!!”
Yes. Your opponent has simply put in a completely out-of-context pop culture meme. In your mind, you can’t help but feel a sense of disdain; that’s literally not even a joke! That took no effort to come up with! And shouldn’t people just plain be sick of hearing stupid memes like that?
In less than the half second it took you to have that thought, however, you hear something else which makes your heart sink: the rest of the players are laughing uproariously at your opponent’s answer. Dread dawns on you. They actually LIKE that?
A minute later, your worst fear comes true: everyone playing unanimously votes your opponent’s out-of-context pop culture meme to be the winning joke. You can’t help yourself: you say out loud to the entire room: “Really guys? Seriously?” Everyone just kind of shrugs, with someone making some vague comment about how yours was good too.
You try not to lose heart. Your second prompt comes up. And this time, your opponent’s joke answer is...”Sempai noticed me!!!!”
Yes. Again, it’s not even a joke. It’s a worn-out subcultural meme being thrown in completely out of context. And once again, everyone playing guffaws at this and unanimously votes it to be the winning joke in that round. All your hard work thinking of something comedic, for nothing, because people are just that damn easily amused by tired memes and eager to signal “look at me! I know what that reference is! I’m part of the in crowd!”
The next time you hang out with these people, they ask if you want to play Quiplash again. You decline with some vague excuse about how you don’t feel like it. Perhaps you slowly stop hanging out with these people altogether. You beat yourself up a little bit over this: it seems so petty and silly on your part, right? Part of you says that it’s just a game, and anyway, humor is subjective.
But another part of you can’t help but think, on some level, that these people are complete and utter tools.
