Things that shit me

The fact that 1 in 3 Americans aged between 18 and 24 believe the Earth is flat (Unimelb article)

Going to the original article linked there (here): Of the 34% that don't reply "I have always believed the world is round", nearly half (16%) say "Other / Not sure" (hard to know what that means - but notably there is no category for "I used to be unsure or believe the world is flat, and now I believe it's round").  9% are saying they are now skeptical of the earth being round, but 5% are saying they are now skeptical of the earth being flat.  Hard to count both of those simultaneously as flat earth believers.  Only 4% overall say they have always believed the earth is flat.  Trying to get at people's current beliefs by asking them the history of their beliefs seems like a bad idea.

So yes, the numbers are higher than in older age groups, which is a concern - but I'm not sure it's as bad as 1/3 sounds.

Indeed, I fixed my wording above. That was silly of me...

Although, I'd probably consider the 30% that have doubts and/or are unsure a worse statistic :/

I hate when people do things for me to "help" without bothering to ask whether help was needed or wanted Especially when the same people won't help when I specifically ask for it

That is so annoying when that happens.

These uni enrolment forms that take forever to get through. 🙁

It may just be that I’m doing a partly government subsidised certificate but it is an absolute pain going through this process to enroll. Not to mention very confusing.

Slack used to have some of the most prettiest icons ever for default profile pictures. And they're now replaced with this rubbish.

Going out of your way to clear your schedule for the day to catch up with a friend, and that morning they text to say they can't make it.
