People who are habitually late, and when you call them out on it they won't apologise, but come up with a litany of excuses that are immediately bullshit. Like bitch, are you really trying to sell me that shit in response?

I pick up a coworker occasionally in the morning on the way to work. After he made us late one morning, I told him I'd be driving my ass to work solo in the morning if he wasn't outside at 'x' time, unless he had a terrorist attack-tier excuse to grab hold of.

Guess who hasn't been late since? Funny how that works.

The fucking woooorst. I have some people like that, who I've had to resort to telling them that things start earlier than they do just so they can be ready on time.

You're better than I am. Lateness is something that absolutely boils my piss hotter than the fires of the Acheron.

And the people who are late often NEVER have a legitimate excuse.

People who don't want to realize that they suck at a hobby they've picked up, don't put in any work to improve, and also shove their shit into my face all the time.

You suck at it. You'll never be good at it. And that would be totally fine, if you just liked your hobby without needing the approval of everyone around you.

Was on YouTube and I got an as from one of those companies infamous for making creepy mobile games, and this one had to be the worst OT was called parasite cleaner and it started showing a cartoon incision being made in a leg full of worms! :cryblood:

WTF YouTube?! I though you learned from elsagate just because something uses bright colorful cartoon graphics, doesn't mean it's a silly little kids game!


And before anyone asks "why didn't you use adblock? " it's cause it's on my phone... Never figured out how to get it to work on mobile.

Slight PL, I guess.
My parents are like that and to me the worst part is that they actually think it's funny/quirky.
Them saying 'people already started inviting us an hour earlier because we're never on time' while laughing it off like it's nothing really made me be glad that I didn't turn out like them. At all.
I'm not sure if them not even trying to excuse it makes the whole thing better or worse. An no, they don't see any reason to change that, at all.

If you want to easily avoid them I'd recommend just using Brave on your phone. Can't remember the last time I got hit with a Youtube ad while using that browser and there's nothing that you have to set up.

Makes me wish we had a thanks rating oh well the thumb up will suffice.


Anyways I know we probably have a goosebumps thread in the literature section but this is something that genuinely pisses me off. OK so most of the classic books from the of series are being... "altered" for e book releases. And I don't just mean changing or cutting out outdated 90s references like gameboys and using the word "tape " to refer to watching a movie.

No no no see everything from small things like calling characters crazy to references to blood (what little that series made to actual blood anyways) is being removed. Say cheese and die again has it worse of all. Possibly because in that book the evil camera makes one kid gain weight like crazy and another to lose it till she withers away to nothing. And of course in current year we can't have anything even remotely close to either eating disorders or body shaming in a kid's horror book.



I know I sound like an aging gen xer (or older millennial at this point the ones born closer to 1990 anyways) but there's a reason that generation grew up taking nothing from nobody and ate dirt in times of hardship without bellyaching about everything. It's because our media didn't hold our hands and treat us like babies past the age of 2.
