Meltdowns! What trips your trigger?

[catcauphonic]

Well, I have kind of sworn off meltdowns and I am on the proper medication keep me mostly in check, but I really, really hate rude smokers. People who smoke in a drive thru line as if every other car in the line isn't being forced to breathe that poison in. People who smoke in parking garages so others have to breathe it in just to get to their car, and people who smoke around their kids.

The overwhelming science about second hand smoke aside, I have known since I was a little kid that the way you smell something is that elements of it enter your system through your nose. When you smell poop, it's because little poop molecules are going into your nose. If I can smell that smoke, them some of those poisons are entering my system against my will and that pisses me off. I really, really hate it.

Those poop molecules that went up your nose must've made you a little extra anal when it comes to smoking

I love the smell of diesel particulates, in the morning.

Who the duck says "ducking" anyway? Steve Jobs haunts us from the grave. Apple specifically disallows those to be in autocorrect AFAIK.

I have an Android LG G4, so that doesn't apply to me. I think mine just enjoys annoying the carp out of me.

When one person decides for all to shut down a project after multiple rehearsals and with concerts coming up because he is tired of playing the material. I informed them to never contact me in the future under any circumstances.

As opposed to the healthy hydrocarbon tailpipe emissions in the 2 examples you used ?

I understand what you mean, but still I had to lol.


And the kids, TOTALLY CONCUR...
and I'm a smoker fwiw.

Well, I was just answering the OP's question, I fully admit to having an irrational hatred of smoking. I see it as the epitome of willful stupidity even though I have some very smart friends who smoke. Now, I have certainly noticed over the years that smokers often bring up car emissions as some sort of justification for their own emissions. As if, by pointing out how noxious and filled with poisons cigarette smoke is, I am ignorant of what's in car exhaust. It's a defensive position that doesn't make any sense to me. We all know how bad car exhaust is and one thing does not equal another. By decrying the cigarette smoke I am in no way denying the harmful effects of auto emissions It's a perfect example of a straw man argument- a fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting a point that was not expressed by that person at all.

In the two examples I used, a)I live in the city so sometimes I have to use a parking garage. I certainly don't like breathing in the car exhaust that is in a garage, but it is much, much worse when some dirtbag is further polluting the air by ripping butts near the elevator entrance (usually right in front of the "No Smoking" sign). b) the only dive thru's I go through these days are for coffee. That's it. But I live in a suburb of Boston filled with trashy people who seemingly have no idea that other people may not want to actively breathe in their lifetime of bad decisions. I'd like to love in a nicer town, but I bought a starter home here and it's close to my work, easy access to gigs downtown, etc. I drive a hybrid diesel that uses low sulfur fuel. personally and wish I could do more to lessen my carbon footprint. Here's an interesting study that shows that cigarette smoke contains much higher concentrations of CO than most cars:

Not to mention the formaldehyde, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, arsenic, benzine, cadmium and DDT in second hand smoke.

But, again, I am not much of a meltdown guy anymore. I just don't have it in me.

Android is certainly not immune, it's not as frustrating, but still .

No, there should be an option for offensive words specifically.

I know now if only I could type certain color words here ....(TB)

Here's how to disable Android's autosuggestion word filter.

1. Navigate to Settings.
2. Select Language And Input. You might have to scroll down to see it under the Personal section.
3. Tap the Toggles icon next to Google Keyboard.
4. Uncheck the box next to Block Offensive Words.

I like how TB infantilizes by switching s*** to "poopie".

I like "ducking"- it gives you a second to reconsider before hitting send.

Aww yea, my trigger just got tripped. My Samsung Note 4 for some reason suddenly 'forgot' all of the slang and curse words I had taught it over the past year. To add insult, it won't 'relearn' new words as I fruitlessly try again to add them to the dictionary.

I know i didn't accidentally do a factory reset. Is it possible I got some kind of virus? In addition, it trys to get me to install uber & lift, and candy crush via pop up ads a few times a day ... which I've never had happen on a phone. This has all been going on for a month now.

I think it's amusing. Makes folks unaware of or incapable of following the rules look silly.

did you install a "free app" from the play store recently, game ETC-- some of those install malware. you should already have lookout antivirus installed. (it's just OK) look into getting Sophos on your phone (much better virus/malware protection)
and as far as the dictionary, if you received an update to Google core services, and or a upgrade to the samsung keyboard, that can cause a reset.
