it just looked like a horrible untended garden or something

People who feel so compelled to upload something owned by a large corporation on YouTube that they make it completely unlistenable and unwatchable by fucking with the audio, cropping it to 1/10th of its size, vignetting the edges into near darkness and adding a filter that makes it look like you're viewing it through a sheet of digital hessian.

Drivers waiting to turn onto a main road that you are cycling along who stop three feet over the stop line, and/or don't even wait till you've cycled past before they start pulling out.

someone in my building was clattering up and down the stairs in flipflops yesterday. incredible racket. awful beast

that type of savagery would seem ok in Cornwall, but sometimes I see people in the local Onestop in their slippers and trackie bottoms on a morning, and I think fuck it, live and let live!

tbc it was just the incredible noise of someone strenuously slapping up and down the stairs which was strikingly savage, and gave lie to the idea that their clothing choice was about being casual or comfortable or in any way lowkey
― ogmor, Wednesday, 16 May 2018 09:48 (six years ago) link
the savagery that amuses me more than annoys me are some of the local skinny young lads, whose emaciated frames suggest they've been troubled neither with vigourous gymnasium activity nor any hard labour yet, and probably not eaten many greens. And as soon as it goes anything above 17 degrees they go bare-chested and adopt this *pushing an invisible wheel barrow* type parody of a hardman walk in gangs of 3 or 4.

I'm not sure how often skinny young ladies go bare-chested on the streets of West Yorkshire, best ask calz.

c'mon it's not symmetrical, women's bodies are policed totally differently, "how dare you expose your toes, they displease me" would resonate very differently in the lived experience of most women than most men, etc.

did i mention the fingernail clipper at his desk right behind my desk in this thread yet
also like who clips their nails daily (not a disg savage move but still)

My old boss would constantly clip his fingernails on calls, at one point he even took of his shoes and started clipping his toenails under his desk. How I did not quit on the spot remains a mystery.

People who engage in any form of blue dress/gold dress online viral bullshit, I am (mostly) silently judging you and finding you infra digital.
― suzy, Wednesday, 16 May 2018 15:46 (six years ago) link
Yeah, fuck people for engaging in anything, right?
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 15:47 (six years ago) link
That’s not what I said but go right ahead and misunderstand me, it will bring you some kind of temporary fulfilment.
― suzy, Wednesday, 16 May 2018 15:50 (six years ago) link
suzy, I am not sure I agree that viral bandwagon stuff is harmful, but "infra digital" is a really deft coinage. You have my undying respect just for that.

I mean, if people want to post a list of acceptable viral topics for discussion and those that aren't, that'd be helpful. Or just continue silently judging people for daring to take a modicum of interest in something beneath you and reveal yourself to be an asshole. Whatever works.

That's more pissy that I wanted to be, but I sincerely don't understand people who can't just look at something online, think "boy this is dumb, I don't get it and can't for the life of me understand why people would bother" and simply move on. Instead they have to demonstrably proclaim their superiority by refusing to engage. It's dumb and I just don't get it.
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 16:08 (six years ago) link
argh, my wording got completely butchered in that post. "demonstrably proclaim their superiority for not engaging" is closer to what I meant.

i'm not too interested in the laurel/yanni phenomenon, but ppl loudly tut-tutting about how they're above it and everyone else is dumb are about as cool and likable as the "oooh sports ball" crowd.

This is the Disgusting Savages thread, where we have a safe space to post about occasional common irritants and things on the internet that mark out some of our fellow humans as basic bitches, so I’m sorry you feel impugned by my post (but I’m not gonna waste another second of my life on shit that gets shared by all the people we know on FB who use Minions as avatars for their emotions).
As we say over in Scarfolk, for more information please re-read.

posted this on facebook. but anyone who makes one of these cover versions is on my savages hate list:
"I got aggravated watching The Leftovers when I heard that sad and pathetic cover of "You're The One That I Want". That guy who did the sad and pathetic cover of "Mad World" by Tears For Fears has a LOT to answer for. You can make any song with words sad and pathetic! The cheapest of tricks."
