oh to sleep in a comfortable bed
Irrational Pet Peeve of the Day:
Every time I see someone asking a stupid question on Twitter, my gut reaction is to link them to let me Google that for you. Sometimes I even wanna do it to myself.
Unimportant Pet Peeve of the Day:
I *can't stand it* when people are vague about downloading crap online. You know, when someone writes stuff like "I've managed to acquire this book/record/episode/movie through unorthodox methods" or some other euphemistic shit.
Because SERIOUSLY DUDE. You DOWNLOADED it.
[And it's even more ridiculous when it's someone actually putting something up for other people to download while themselves are being vague about the origins of the file. Because FOR REAL: everyone with half a brain -- and Google -- can figure out where you got it.]
So. You might think you're trying to be coy, but you're just being annoying.
Important Pet Peeve of the Day:
Every. single. time. someone in fandom posts any sort of "stop hashing my squee" essay/post/comment/twitter, I want to bash their head in.
It's been happening a lot lately, I'm guessing in lieu of RaceFail and GateFail and the other current Fails around. And you know what? Every time you bitch and moan about "oh those tl;dr SRS BZNESS posts about race and sexism and ableism and homophobia and trauma/assault survival" instead of doing the VERY DIFFICULT TASK of, you know -- skipping said posts and moving on with your squeeful fandom life, THE ONLY THING you're doing is showing your very white, very privileged ass in public.

Because SERIOUSLY DUDE. You DOWNLOADED it.
