Why do modern laptop keyboards have a massive CAPSLOCK key that never, ever, ever gets used, and anemic half-sized cursor keys and a stunted space "bar" which all get constant use.

And thats what #grindsmygears

@joshsusser there is this ridiculous structure where the other senior EA (i'm the other one) flexes this pseudo supervisory role over the other admins. there is no need, benefit, or actual basis for this.

our "monthly” meeting today was converted to “Office Hours” with her. why? because she's that kind of arrogant.

i cannot tolerate this kind of thing. #GrindsMyGears

A pet peeve: social media content presented with ungrammatical/all-caps questions: "How ENGLISH is used?"

IDK why this is increasingly common. Have people heard that The Algorithm prefers titles/content with a final question mark? Most of these would be fine if it were dropped.

In any case, it reminds of the 20 year-old “How is babby formed?” meme and leads one to expect a similar level of thought. So it's an auto-skip for me, along with AI slop in title cards etc.

Minor gripe. Google docs always suggest “go pageless by default”! As if it is some great innovation.

Does anyone use this?

I like pages, it compartmentalizes information, you can clearly see when you need to cut words. It’s way easier to reference, it’s in tune with how we memorize things.

Additionally, pages are better for PDF export (which is what most of my documents end up being).

My main frustration is that they always suggest it. Let me decide and accept my decision.

Nothing as annoying as the obligatory squeeky toy sounding laugh overlay on TikTok videos.
It is almost as though TikTokkers practice these thinking they will get more likes.

You know what really #GrindsMyGears....

People that hear the term UFO and immediately think you mean some sort of alien spacecraft.

The clue is in the name.. Unidentified Flying Object, so an object you can see that's flying but you can't identify. It could be anything. A plane, a balloon, a drone.

Ok, so I guess that could also include an alien spacecraft but there's an overwhelmingly more likely chance it's just something earthbound you just can't identify.

Getting architect constraints after the work was completed is, uhm, not great.

@rgriff My background wallpaper is a picture that is stored on an iCloud drive. Sporadically, macOS decides to offload it, so I frequently return to the default Ventura wallpaper. #GrindsMyGears

"Dear Mr Hippy

I hope this email finds you well. "

Well actually, it makes me feel rather homicidal, determined to do terminal mischief to whichever PR droid directed your entire staff to use this opening line in every. single. email. Old timey meaningless fluff. CUT IT OUT! Email like a human, not an AI powered corporate drone.

Kind Regar... No. STOP IT. WTAF is a "kind" regard? GAH!

We will now return you to your regular program.
