My husband turns to me & says “Do you have bandwidth for something? I really hate orcs in 5e because of their teeth.”
I looked at him with wide eyes, “Do you know HOW LONG I’ve been so annoyed by this? And what the frick is their culture?! BORING.” 2/2 #orc #DungeonsAndDragons #petpeeve
Thinking this is Mastodon is like thinking the entire Internet is Chrome just because that is what you personally use to see it.
I hate when people say "quote unquote" before saying something. You just unquoted. So, it's not a quote? Quotation marks usually bracket the thing. One comes before. The other comes after. If you did that in coding, you'd break your code.
Recently growing pet peeve: People sharing a screenshot of some social network twoot. A few pixels of irrelevant avatar, a name and a short message.
The part that annoys me is that it's encoded as a JPEG or PNG and instead of using 200 bytes for the message and name it uses 1024 times that for the image.
Instead of repeating it in the alt text to make it accessible, just frigging omit the screenshot. Paste the fucking text. It's what quotation marks are for.
Nobody with a dialup modem would've ever thought this was anything but pure mindboggling insanity.
Bothers the shit out of me and I refuse to boost any such, no matter the message.
"Though the moon had not yet set, the sky in the east was stained with light...."
What is that "though" doing there? These two states are not inherently contradictory! Either the moon is at a phase where it normally sets at or after dawn OR it isn't, and the moon shouldn't be up at first light, and this very mainstream litfic novel is about to turn magic realism on me. And I'm pretty sure THE ESSEX SERPENT isn't about to do that on page 355.
FAIL!
Small Pet Peeve rant
It's Iran, not Eye-Ran. 
Why is that so hard!? 2 syllables.
Do they say Eye-taly? mumble.. mumble.. grumble..
