1) Fucking. Commercials. They're all just a bunch of people with ridiculous fake smiles repeating a retarded slogan. Most of the time the commercial has 0 to do with the actual product, and is just inane bullshit. How do these ever convince anyone to buy anything? How do people make so much money of advertisements? Who the fuck watches TV, or a stream, or whatever, and is like, hey there is an attractive woman holding this product and smiling, i better go buy 5 copies of it! Its even worse when you're watching streams, because it will be the same fucking ad over and over and over and over on every god damn stream for weeks at a time. Why would I EVER want to buy that thing now?

The worst part of that is, even though I'm a dude and all i ever look at on the internet is either esports broadcasts, facebook, and research for school, half of the ads I see on streams are for women's hygiene products. Everyone is terrified of google spying on us and storing our personal info - well I'm not worried about all, because apparently google and the other advertisers look at all of that personal data at go, "This guy who watches nerds play video games all day? Yeah, he'll look at these smiling people and listen to this shitty jingle and buy this facial cream product, but only if we show the ad 100 times a day" WHAT THE FUCK

Anyway, more seriously...

I wish more people would adopt rather than continue to give birth to more children. There are already 7 billion people here, I just feel like we should take care of the ones who are already here before we go adding more. People always give the shittiest fucking excuses too, like "its expensive" or "its too hard" well holy shit is nine months of pregnancy followed by the labor of childbirth a fucking walk in the park?????? People just have that evolutionary drive to do it and make babies, and they aren't self aware enough to realize it, so they rationalize that choice through whatever bullshit is most convenient at the time. There are people who spend years and thousands of dollars just trying to concivie a child, well guess what dumbasses there were kids waiting for you the whole god damn time.

Seriously people just use your favorite method of birth control and fucking adopt. If you really want the 'experience of being pregnant' or whatever just wear a sandbag and throw up into a toilet every night for nine months, and go adopt a child who is sitting there literally waiting for someone to be their parent. Fuck.

And yes, I do plan on getting a vasectomy and adopting 4-5 kids when I'm ready. I'm not adopted myself, but my brother and a few other people in my extended family are and I know it doesnt change the fact that my family all love each other. I've heard people say that they just don't think they could love an adopted child and that gets me the maddest of all. If someone had switched their baby at the hospital they'd never know unless they got the gender or race wrong. Why the fuck do you care what percent of your genetic code you share with your child? Sharing your shitty genes isnt what makes you a parent, taking care of a kid for 20 years is what does. If you're so narrowminded you can only love someone within some genetic distance from yourself, you don't even deserve to be a parent, go fuck yourself.

Whew.

EDIT: Another thing I just remembered - it's fucking bizarre that as a society we have a list of tests people need to pass before they can adopt, but any two assholes with the right icky parts can make their own babies, and as long as they don't get caught, they can go on being shitty parents. Clearly, we realize as a society that some people are just a danger to children - that's why we have rules about who can adopt - but nobody wants to say that some people just shouldn't be allowed to breed, because again, dat evolution telling people to fuck like rabbits.


QFT. Wow, felt good reading this. Also, what grinds my gears is when people can't stop talking politics. It's like current political trends are all that matter to them. Why tell me? I can't fix it.

That's just depressing to me. To start a subject, and then realizes there are years of reading that I'll have to do, and I'll still only be scratching the surface. It's quite discouraging.

On the flip side, listening to people who haven't learned enough about a subject to know that they know nothing about it.

People who apologize like this.
"I am sorry that I got angry at you when you screwed up. I know that it was uncalled for me to scream at you like that. It was my fault for expecting that much out of you, I probably should have known you could not handle that much."

It is disgusting to see it used in team games, even more so in real life.

People who (regularly) use multiple question marks/exclamation points. It's like I'm talking to a child trying to express their enthusiasm in word form. I pretty much always get the impression they're 12 or of sub-par intelligence.

People who apologize for things that aren't necessary to apologize for and too often. If you're not actually sorry or didn't do anything wrong then don't apologize.

Well. The point of the commercial is not only to make you buy their product. By thinking, "damn that's some retarded shit, like i would get happy from buying an overpriced piece of crap like that" you accept their version of reality and their proposed values. That's what commercials are for. In the end, they shape your habits no matter if you buy their product or not.

People who want comfort from me.

I'm a wonderful self-confidence booster. If I think someone can do something and they ask me if they can do it, I'll tell them they will.

But, your girlfriend of 4 years went to college, broke up with you, and had sex within the week even though she said she was saving herself till marriage?

I told you you can get into an elite singing group of 16 people and I did and you didn't?

Your boyfriend broke up with you?

I promise I'm not some psycho who can't empathize with anyone. But I fucking can't emphasize with people looking for comfort and tell them some lies about their troubles. So don't come to me, because I will say 1. I'm sorry and 2. Nothing else.
