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.


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.


Wut? Not sure I follow you here. What sort of reaction could you have to a commercial that didn't 'accept their proposed values' then? Sorry, not meaning to get mad at you, but I'm still mad about commercials, lol.

People's stubbornness even when presented with obvious counter-evidence. I get called a hacker all the time in MW3 so I set up my stream and link it to them whenever I get called a hacker. They still insist I hack even seeing/hearing everything I see/hear.

When people like, either ask how your feeling and refuse to accept your answer and go on interpreting their own little thing, or people who respond with incredulity with your emotional response. I have no idea what to do with either. Strangle comes to mind though.

Going up against a P in PvT. Seriously, Engaging a P with tanks vults and goliaths is so INSANELY hard.. If I move even the slightest out of position it spells the doom of 100 supply worth of tanks and vults. Not to mention the fucking "o" button for siege and "i" for planting mines. All the p has to do is attack command with his shit into mine and he has done his job. casting storms n shit isn't that hard...

But the again.. P:s button layout for units are retarded, so I guess it's alright..

Oh yeah, Controlling marine medic is so hard >_<.. all it takes is 1-2 good shots from a lurker and I'm fucked.

Lastly, FUCK lurker drops.

Fucking church bells.

So, I don't know how this is handled in other countries, but here in the Netherlands most of the churches have a bunch of bells in the top tower that ring every half hour. And it is LOUD. (Churches are everywhere here, especially in the city's center)

Do they ring once to notify the passing of an half hour? NO! They do some stupid ass random 'melody' (no structure, or tune, sound like a 2y/o kid banging on a bunch of bells), sometimes lasting up to a couple of minutes. Just random gibberish music.

Do they only do it during the day, when people are walking through the city's streets? No, they go on 24/7.

Now imagine you live next to one... Some of these things are so fucking loud, you can't even have a conversation if you live close by a church. And don't even get me started with the nights... FUCK.

I don't know their purpose, probably something religious people made in a time before watches and cellphones (we all know how punctual God is), but these days, I even see the hobos in the street with cellphones. How are these noise-pollution-machines still legal? What is their purpose? These things should SHUT THE FUCK UP, you are no longer needed!

GEARS GROUND.

You know what? I agree.

IT IS NEVER A FUCKING OFFENSE TO EXPECT PEOPLE TO ACT OUT THEIR FULL POTENTIAL

I mean, obviously if you have expectations way above someones level you gotta curb that shit. But expecting people to do the shit they're well able to is fucking fine, and if you get mad about it, you're a lazy slacker.

People who go on Facebook and like pages like 1,000,000 likes and my dad quits drugs. Who the fuck says "hey little jimmy, i like cocaine, but if you get me 1,000,000 likes on Facebook i'll quit drugs forever!" Posts like that make me lose faith in humanity. Also, people who post lyrics on Facebook make me want to jump off a cliff. In addition, pictures of hurt dogs and shit that say, "Like if you would help, Like if you respect him/her/it, Like if you wish you had these, Like Like LIKe". Grinds my fucking gears beyond recognition. + Show Spoiler +

what really gets me is when ppl drive automatics like they are stick. they go from neutral to 2nd to 3rd then drive.... omfg how retarded. if you wanted manual you should have gotten it.

Lulz, i have never seen someone do this but I too would mock them if I did.

Speaking of automobiles, it really grinds my gears when someone doesn't shift into neutral or downshift when slowing down and they end up killing the engine. WTF l2drive.

Odd, I can understand going from 1st-3rd but not n-2-3.... Ppl need rpm or whatnot but really, lugging your motor just to lug a heavier more complex transmission?

I just have manuals. By the way, sometimes driving a pickup truck after a Honda civic feels so powerful that you don't shift as much on the freeway. Then you forget it is a manual, then you exit... I do this on occasion but it dies so softly and easily I hardly notice. Ppl rarely get pissed and I road apologize when they do, in other words ignore it and wish them no ill will.

As for lrn2drive? If they want a contest of skills in that regard, they will fail 80% of the time. Tractors, diesel flatbed trucks with range selection, TOL machines, pre-1960 vehicles...

But I agree when most people do that it's like "really?" And in Cali shifting to neutral is illegal in a car whilst jake braking is illegal at times for trucks.

Grinds my gears literally when people gun it, pass your IH S1800 and then slam the brakes to make an exit.

It really grinds my gears when fucking teenagers get all falsely nostalgic. They start going on about how 'kids these days' are all shagging eachother and it wasn't like that when they were at school.
Like...you left school about 2 years ago you sanctimonious little pricks. You are the same fucking generation as the people you are talking about.

In fact false nostalgia in general grinds my gears real hard. Like when people claim that all 'modern music' is crap and leave comments on youtube videos of 80's songs like 'if only there was music like this being released now'.
The top voted comment on a fucking Simply Red song was something like 'you won't get songs like this these days'.
Fucking SIMPLY RED. Simply Red are famously shit. They are BULLSHIT munchers.
The point is that there is so much good music being released all the time and if these fucking cretins could be bothered to look past the (meaningless) top 40 charts then they'd realise that. And maybe they'd realise that saying you only listen to music pre-year 2000 makes you sound like a smug, self important twat.

Grinds my god damn gears.
