Pet Peeves

Did you subscribe?

No. I have never subscribed to anything YouTube.

Really irky pet peeve:
If a business asks for a like and subscribe. I on purpose don't do it. How do I know if I like the business if I don't even know anybody there.

Youtube videos the same way, if someone has to ask for a like and subscribe, do they actually have quality content or is it a game everyone plays?

Oh yeah! I don't watch many YouTubes, but, how about when you've just logged on to a site, barely started reading, and BAM! It gets covered up with a great big banner wanting your opinion about it? Would you recommend it? Will you take a poll? Dude, get out of my face, I've only been here three seconds! Grrr! Or almost worse, they want you to subscribe to it before you can read more than the first three lines. I am so outta there.

Did you know you can't feel your emotions and talk about them at the same time? So one of the biggest buzzkills after winning a big game, for example, is to have someone stuff a microphone in your face and ask you how this moment feels to you. That's a peeve of mine. It's emotional robbery. Let the victors have their moment, jump up and down, yell and scream, cry, turn handsprings. Ask them how it felt after they're done celebrating.

I'm confused. You are saying that you can't be happy and talk about being happy at the same time? Or be crying and say why? Sounds like a lotta hog wash to me

The part of your brain that deals with language is different from the part of the brain that experiences intense emotion. Just watch what happens to athletes when they are asked to describe what they are feeling in the moment. Either they are so excited they are inarticulate about it and turn away from the microphone, or the light of enthusiam fades as they try to describe it. Try it yourself next time you experience intense emotion, try to put it in words as you are feeling it. Bet you can't. That's why talk therapy works so well for trauma victims. It lowers the intensity of the felt emotions until you can handle them.

Sorry, hope I didn't ruin anything for you!

I see what you mean with the stopped match. I think it was the right call regardless, but the ref should have been more on top of that count out. And the other one that led to the overall champ I would have scored the other way, but I'm not a judge.

Being lectured for pouring 3 fingers of Oban at 10 AM. You have NO IDEA what my day has been/is going to be, so shut your cake hole.

I don't watch sports but if the athlete can't talk, I chalk it up to idiot reporters asking stupid questions

Both those loser robots got screwed in my opinion. Minotaur should have won and so should have Hydra. Final battle was so boring

Minotaur V Witch Doctor is one of my favorite matchups, but I gotta admit I'm a purple and green fan. Either way I couldn't lose in that bout, but I definitely won seeing WD obliterate sawblaze next. And I would have loved to see a WD/hydra rematch. OR Minotaur/hydra.
