Back at home, and arguing with YouTube

The weekend of the 8-10th my dad came through town and I caught up with him briefly as he dropped by the house I was sitting on both Friday and Saturday and then picked me up on Sunday and Brough me in to town to water my plants and check my mail for the first time all month, and have lunch with my sister for her birthday.

As usual I had spent too much on her and she wasn’t particularly appreciative.  I don’t know why I try.

Also, as usual, conversation with her always seems to be lined with her setting traps that she seems just as offended if I don’t set off….

Family is not worth the effort.

Then on the 17th, Simon and Joe got back, and were jet lagged and semi-conscious.  I got dropped home by Joe yesterday morning.

No more looking after the cat.  No more constantly vacuuming up ginger floof.  No more endings scratching throat from my growing cat allergy.

Though I am already getting fed up with how noisy my apartment building it.  I had forgotten the constant frustrating noise of the building and the idiots in it.

More randomly, though not for the first time, I am getting annoyed at home someone is self identifying in a video YouTube autoplayed at me, for for pretty much the exact some reason.  Guys talking about having come out as gay and “coming out again” later as asexual and then describing their journey to self discovery in ways that don’t sound remotely asexual to me.  They always sound like more sex positive versions of me, and I am pretty sure I am not asexual.  I am just a prude who doesn’t like people touching him much, that does not an asexual make.  Neither does my thinking of sex as the price of romantic intimacy. 

I think these guys are trying to hard to have special identity positions.

And now I am one of those grumpy old men calling people special snowflakes… because they really seem like they are claiming a thing on very tenuous grounds.  If their explanation was a force answer test, it does sound like I would score high on it than the guys I the last two videos on this I got irked at.

Could YouTube stop autoplaying videos that irk me.

It achieves no good.

If I am going to be angry at YouTube I would rather just be angry at all the ads for ACT.
