Little Kids On Youtube

This is a rant about little kids on Youtube. Every time when I watch videos and read comments, there's always have to be little brats on Youtube trolling in the comment section thinking that they're so cute. Well it's not. It's immature and they've no business being on Youtube in the first place. One time when a bratty little girl who said horrible things about and I curse this little monster out. (Potty mouth wise that is.) Then her older sister defends her snot-nose sister telling me that I shouldn't curse at her little bratty sister and all that junk. NEWS FLASH: I've every right to curse that little brat and second she shouldn't be on Youtube in the first place. You've to be over 13 years old to be on Youtube. NO EXCEPTIONS! That's my rant.

Re: Little Kids On Youtube

As an adult, I generally refrain from being an ass to bratty children. And I generally refrain from being an ass on the internet. In both cases, you are feeding the troll.

It both bugs me and confuses me when people say things like "I finally broke down and turned on the a/c (or heat)", in their own home. Like they're apologetic. People seem to have a thing for waiting until something's really far gone to try & do something about it. So very sick they finally went to the Dr., etc. And I don't mean people who are watching every literal penny, either.

I run AC and heat all the time. I like my house between 70 and 75. Anything outside of those temperatures requires adjustment. Not sorry. Lol

I'll let the house get up to around 80 in the summer months before turning on the a/c, and tend to keep it around 62 in the winter. It's not so much a case of enjoying a little chill or a bit of heat, as it is just the easiest way for me to attempt to keep the costs of the extra electricity and oil down. Though, this year I've seen a major decrease in the cost of both. Last year I was paying almost $4.00 per gallon of heating oil, while this year I just got a delivery that was at $1.97 per gallon.

I do the same. I just wear hoodies inside in the winter and use a fan in the summer to save a little cash; I do feel apologetic towards my wallet when I give into temptation and use the ac or heater :^^:

Re: The Rant Thread (v 1.2)

Rarely gets over 85 in the summer so never have a/c on ... don't use heater until nights get below 45 ...

It stays at 65 at night in my house, year around. During the day in the summer 70 and 65 during the winter.

Someone else on my fb just posted that they "finally had to turn the heat on" - I know this person is not hurting for money or anything. It's one of those attitudes that seems odd to me. I feel so Spockish sometimes, observing human behavior and finding it highly illogical. LOL

Re: The Rant Thread (v 1.2)

They could have other reasons for wanting to conserve heat. I know that for me, it's partly about money, but also because natural gas heating is pretty bad for the environment and that's the only heating option here besides coal (which is worse).

Its like when I see people say "I'm taking ______ back". Where are you taking it back to?

Re: The Rant Thread (v 1.2)

When someone tells me that they finally had to run the heat or AC I just figure that the season changed enough to require it. It never dawned on me that they were uncomfortable before and used it only as a necessity or that they were trying to conserve energy or money. I am comfortable most of the year. There are a few weeks in the summer when the AC is nice and during the winter when heat is nice but most of the time the temps in the house and outside are fine. Now, I don't live in Quebec or Nome nor do I live in the desert states so my climate is moderate and dry. I do drink a lot of water so I am not conserving that but I don't waste it either.
