I hate when I'm reading or watching TV at night and I'm getting tired and think, "Oh, okay, I guess I'll go to bed." Then I get ready for bed, change into my pajamas, wash my face, brush my teeth and hop into bed --- only to be not tired anymore and toss and turn. Welp, time to get up again. Grrr. In this same vein: If I'm in bed and thinking about too many things, I'll be restless and not be able to sleep. But in the morning, if I don't just get up right away when I wake up and start thinking of things -- it makes me fall back to sleep.

People who think a "two minute Google search" = actual research.

Can't get my Pathfinder enthusiast friend to either go back to relive D&D 3.5, or go forward to try D&D 5e or Pathfinder 2e.
I get it was a shelter for him during the dark days of D&D 4e, but wowzers

I hate that when you go on a lot of websites now, you always have to be told there are cookies and you have to select your "preference" on what privacy level mode you want - gee, do you think it would be swell if we sold all your personal information, hm? NO!!
Or sometimes you even have to sign up and create an account with your name, email and address and such.
CAN I JUST LOOK AT YOUR DAMN CONTENT?!! IS THAT SO MUCH TO FREAKIN' ASK?!!

I like to look at room designs on Pinterest. So many pictures lately are AI generated and people are "wowing" on these pics and asking how much something is and where could they get it and saying "great job with the room" and such.
Websites that feature pictures really have to get on the ball and make their uploaders specify whether or not it's an actual photo of a real place, or whether it is computer generated. The tech is just going to keep getting better and it's going to not be easy to tell very soon.
There was even an artist on there that had a link to their etsy shop that put up pics of "upcycled" furniture. All the pictures I saw looked fake and AI generated, even though there were prices for them. And each picture said "note this a SAMPLE" (emphasis mine) and if you want a "similar" piece to let them know and they will commission it for them. That's fine, but how 'bout some ACTUAL photos of finished pieces?
The world is getting easier and easier for swindlers and liars.
Grrr.
