Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

I find that a wonderful way to slide through life on a charm….. is simply to mind your own business and don’t involve yourself in the problems or complexities of other people..

Unfortunately it’s too late in life for my old man to learn this and it’s meant we’ve both been dragged into helping a person who let’s say doesn’t do much for you barring holding a door open and saying hello….

I took my sleeping tablets at 10’oclck and w’m still awake

Isn't tiktok the right place for brain-dead drivel?

Uhhh thanks, I didn't know that one! It would annoy me too if I'd have known.

Similarly I hate the HSE being called the HSC.

Those ridiculously big and ugly Stanley mugs that a certain type of woman is infatuated with.

People who can't wait, pacing and huffing and puffing, radiating all their stress to everyone else in the waiting room

I used to have a work colleague like this. If she had any bit of work to do which didn’t involve her sitting on her fat arse all day she would start huffing and puffing like a bellows and leaving out long sighs. It would create an atmosphere of tension around the place.

TA that every time I Google something now, the first response is from AI. 😡

Remember when Google was the biggest library in the world, and somewhat honest.

Don't know what it is now… some sort of own brand supermarket or market stall with a bunch of weirdos following you about, looking over your shoulder at what your buying, rummaging around in your bag, asking to see your phone, telling you to buy something else.

Yes, it's true that Google is increasingly displaying AI-generated responses at the top of search results. This is due to Google's "AI Overviews" and "AI Mode" features, which aim to provide immediate answers to questions based on their AI models. While there's no way to fully disable AI Overviews, you can still access traditional web search results by using the "Web" filter or by using a Chrome extension to hide the AI-generated summaries.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
What's happening:
AI Overviews:
Google's AI Overviews are AI-generated summaries that appear at the top of search results, providing answers to your questions.
AI Mode:
Google Help has introduced AI Mode, which allows you to ask questions and get AI-powered responses, with follow-up questions and links to related web pages.
Default Behavior:
Google has integrated AI Overviews as a default feature in search results, meaning they are shown by default.
How to avoid AI Overviews and get traditional web results:
Use the "Web" filter:
When searching, look for a "Web" filter below the search bar and select it. This will display regular web search results instead of AI-generated summaries.
Chrome Extension:
CNET you can use the "Hide Google AI Overviews" extension for Chrome to remove the AI-generated summaries from your search results.
Switch to a different search engine:
ZDNet you can also switch to a search engine like DuckDuckGo that doesn't use AI-generated wànk and bollöx.

On google , my TA is everytime I google something I get ads for buying crap and not an actual answer
