Can we discuss pet peeves here? (1 Viewer)

The people in meetings that keep asking “did you consider adding AI” any time a new site or app at my company is launched or enhanced.

we had a corporate email go out celebrating the interns that won a contest to bring the most innovative idea to the table.. out of like 500 people or something

their winning idea: "use AI"

REVOLUTIONARY

15 years ago it was "use social media".

30 years ago it was "use the internet".

Good point I forgot about social media was the thing. I’m in insurance so about 8 - 10 years ago it was all about how will this help us adapt to self driving cars

I remember back in 1990, in our small construction office, the question was do we spend all this money on an rolled onion-paper style fax machine when we don't really see how it will change our communications any.

When I hear fax machine I think of Die Hard, “Just the fax” and a few donkeys here sending unsolicited faxes to each other at your work some 15-20 years ago.

Unhoused is just political correctness evolving and getting worse.

Yeah, plus I am thinking if I was homeless I would have bigger issues to worry about than what people labeled me as. Being called homeless wouldn't hurt my feelings.

I work in affordable housing and hear the term "homelessness" plenty. Those that use other, "softer" terms are just loony.

I grew up in DTLA. I’m oldish I still call em bums. Apparently that’s frowned upon.

I miss washing machines that were capable of causing death.

New washers don’t really clean and require way too much of my time babysitting them.

Stupid thing goes OOB (out of balance) 30% of the time. Fleece? Almost impossible without me present.

Maybe you should get a better machine. I just set it, and forget it. (Thank you, Ron Popeil.)

My laundry comes out daisy fresh.

May have been mentioned but people need to stop saying things like "un-alived" instead of "killed", or "un-housed" instead of "homeless". I'm more on the woke side of the spectrum than not woke, but this is getting ridiculous.

My kids are unhoused at the moment. They each live in an apartment.

No, but one has an apartmentcat.

For their publicity stunt?

I was watching a college football game last night and one of the running backs had a 95 yard touchdown run. Took it to the apartment.

Probably already covered, but I miss the days when you knew how much your drive thru/pickup total was before you got there. Now it's always a different price depending on what day of the week it is or the time of day.

The NBA thread in this forum should be in the basketball forum.
