X now with a pop-up every single time you block an ad, asking if you want to try premium or whatever to block them. I bet Twitter is gone & replaced with a new app by someone else by 2026. Ppl who like Twitter, headlines & links from all traditional newspaper sections (if you will) news-business-sports-politics-etc in one place with credible ppl directly able to be followed... can't be that tough a migration from to another. I've never used Twitter and never will use "X," but I could easily see it failing in the near future. I suppose if Elon Musk wants to truly be the modern Charles Foster Kane he can resign himself to lose millions on it each year just because he feels like it, but every decision he has made with that company seems to have been a colossal failure, and "X" has got to be the worst rebranding in history. Bloomberg estimates that the move discarded somewhere between 4 and 20 billion dollars in brand recognition. Nobody will ever be comfortable calling it "X" ever. He will blame anyone and everyone else, but the failure of that clearly very valuable company will all be solely on him. Now he's popping up for muting ads. As it is, I've slid down to 2-3 visits a week. It does remain a portal for me, as mentioned, but even credible ppl &/or business I follow there have slowed well down as well. It does feel like younger gen isn't having it, & X will die like MySpace or erode from rot like Facebook.

The other day, I was ready to watch on NBA-TV one of the replay game that I didn't watch live and had no idea how it will go. Then on the scoreboard at the bottom screen, popped the final score for the game that was about to begin. Why the hell do they do that to ruin those who watch it the first time?

Fax machines. I guess they don't actively "annoy" me, I just don't understand why anyone in this universe still utilizes this technology.

The little time I have to watch telly....and those slots offer me: King 0f Queens Everybody Loves Raymond Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased)
All desperately and depressingly unwatchable sh!te.
The fact that the more odiousness, the aged trump reveals...the more redneck, reactionarys and blinkered idiots seem to want him as a prez.
Oxygen thieves who have full volume emanating from their cell-phones playing games on public transport
The girl above my flat who thumps about like a goon and seems like she takes a long run-up to shut a fucking door.
Stupid questions that are asked sportsmen by interviewers post-match.
Alleged Sports 'fans' who talk absolute bollocks on live phone-ins.
Oxygen thieves that like to shout for no apparent, discernable, logical reason to the person they're standing next to or whilst they're on their phones.
Noisy cinema-goers.
People who say Spag-Bol.
Canned Laughter.
The 0nly Way is Essex, Big Brother, Geordie Shores, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Made In Chelsea, Two Broke Girls, Father Dowling, Family Guy, Southpark, Eastenders, King 0f Queens, Big Momma's House, The Sun and The Daily Mirror and the Daily Mail...........and similar depressing ilklings , and examples of the absolute nadir of alleged entertainment.
Water Chestnuts........ vegetarian jelly,pies and meat substitutes.
Apart from those above......life is brilliant

That should've been fixed in 2003 or something. If a replay/highlights of an event are playing, have them watermarked scrubbed from their ticker. Happened to me watching a Masters recap.

Not sure how to do that in the setting. I have a Samsung TV.
I see they have overpriced product for this

I've done it with cushions from the couch if that counts. The criminal worst is a late night full replay of a game, with a f'n live ticker. I mean... what are we doing. AFC Title game for those who missed it... annnnnd, the Ravens lost btw.

Shrinkflation mis-honesty...
It's one thing to visually shrink products for inflation - Bicks' pickle jars are narrower, you can see what's missing.
Quite another when you've got to know the f'n exact volume you're missing out to notice... Premium Plus saltine crackers - the exact same boxes as before, only with noticeable shorter sleeve packages within. Oreos - same exact outer wrapped packaging, only now with more plastic/shorter rows inside. Gum - more plastic, fewer pieces inside, same cardboard sleeve outside.
That's fcukery.

I hope some day they would end starting the baseball season outside of North America, outside of USA to be specific. They played a couple games in South Korea and then not another regular season game until more than a week later. I forgot which was the home team, Dodgers or Padres, or one of each for the two games. It is like they lost at least one home game in the regular season. It played so early in the day that I couldn't watch them live anyway, worse in the west coast. Just make those games as exhibition game please.

They are still used on transfer deadline day in football (soccer)... Something to do with contracts being exchanged on paper rather than verbal or virtual agreements being legally binding.

Surprise that organization as big as that have not upgraded to multi-function machine that print, scan, and email documents. I'm no lawyer, but it's about what qualifies as a legally binding contract... During the earlier transfer window clubs will meet or courier contacts to each other. Can't do that on deadline day, not enough time. But a fax contract is a legal document. I guess because unlike an email or verbal agreement, it's origin and time/date is provable 🤷🏼♀️

Grrr Dude, the singing photos asking not to be deleted was instantly the worst commercial I've ever seen, and they knew it would be played 342,000,000 times over a three week period.
