Things that kind of bother me

I"m getting sick and tired of this new style of journalism that has appeared in the last 2-3 years, It goes a little something like this....


Someone did something and this guy had the perfect response
Some guy totally got owned today on twitter. He said something and this other guy had the perfect response.

(mind you these are all twitter links or screen grabs)

Guys says something
other guy replies.

And now the internet just can't even

Someone comments on the reply

someone else comments on the reply

Someone makes comment on twitter about Obama

Someone comments on reply

(if the story was about a woman this is where the twitter screen grab of some white knight says something about body imagine or being the gender you want etc...)

And then the story just ends.

Also on the subject of "journalism" Whats with the video only stories? I want to read news not hear it. can't we have both? KOAT down here has a website that's seems to only be videos. Am I just old already.

TURN THAT DAMN MUSIC DOWN!!!

Sorry, I am also getting bothered by these damn auto play news videos. They are slowly becoming my pop-up ads.

Attention span of the modern yute.

That, and the fact that they can't read.

I will add, it's easier to feed them "facts" visually. If they actually read the story, their brain may actually process information and formulate cognizant opinion.

Except for the fact that modern journalists have lost the ability to actually write stories.

Sub titles on tv or in movies. Especially the news. I'm listening to the news and some gibberish is spoken, but I miss it since they feel hearing gibberish with subtitles is more important than dubbing the translation over it.

No need for subtitles in movies either. A foreign accent is good enough.

People who cut me off mid-sentence to change the subject.

Also some of it is simply soft spoken people, which drives me insane. Speak. Up.

This is becoming common.

Speaking directly to someone now can be "intimidating." Outside of a TED Talk, of course.

Amen brothers.

According to the audiologist, my hearing is fine, yet I can't hear most conversations, I get about 50% drop outs (forget about my hearing anything if there is background noise). If people look at me when they speak I can use the visual clues with what I heard to correctly formulate what they said most of the time. When folks won't speak up AND talk to me while they're looking away from me it becomes frustrating. One would think that by the third time I ask someone to repeat what they said they'd look at me and speak louder; but no.

Folks with hearing problems get a pass. What I meant was people that habitually say, "Huh?" or "What?" when you know damn well that they heard you.

Extention.
