Having to endure seemingly monthly fund drives by WVXU, my station of choice on my commute. During the one they just completed Friday, I contemplated dropping my sustaining membership until they figure out a way to either fund drive less (the typical fund drive schedule is four times a year; WVXU runs at least twice as many) or allow existing members to get the regular NPR feed during their fund drives so we don't have to endure the endless perkiness of Mary Ann Zeleznik and companions.
(Being in high school amongst hardcore OSU, (a few) UK, UC, and XU fans)
Talking about national championships from the 1960s.
This notion that Mick Cronin is a better coach than Chris Mack.
The Sean Kilpatrick fetish that still lingers.
You got more bragging rights against UC than when a lot of us were in high school though.Quote:

Xavier fans who rip the A-10.
Facebook.
They seem to think I am a fan of Depaul, thus my feed is clogged with ads for Depaul basketball and their MARCH towards the tournament. WHAT? I am also getting a lot of Fox Sports ads of facebook promoting... Depaul and again, their drive to the tourney!
What is up with that!?
You could just download Chrome and then get adblocker plus and not have to worry about any ads.
Fuck Google and their web surf tracking bullshit.
Auto-play videos. I don't think any site should be allowed to control your computer and that includes automatically launching audio or video. It seems like a recipe for virus transmission.Quote:

Last time I listened, which was years ago, they had one sad weekly local show and that was it for original programming It didn't help that they couldn't handle a simple request: don't put me on your mailing list. If I'm donating online why the heck do I want you to send me snail mail?Quote:
