You Know What Grinds My Gears? - Things that personally piss you off

[AnOminous]

I'm always surprised at how much the body automates itself. It pumps its own blood, breathes on its own most of the time, and even thinking is mostly automated.

We don't even really think, I don't think. We think we think, but it's bullshit. Most of our behaviors are controlled by deterministic algorithms and at some point the AIs who take over will be able to simulate any of us perfectly as the simulacra we truly are.

(You also sound like a complete coomer in his 30s, but I don't mean offense to it, even if it is a jab at you. Maybe take a vacation and travel somewhere out of state that isnt a gun show, and go from there, go visit the Grand Canyon and piss in the hole)

I never said guns were my only hobby, it's just only the hobby I share with them.

I also don't get how I come across as a coomer. I haven't watched porn regularly for like 6 years now and honestly find most of it exploitive and disgusting.

You seem a bit upset, it wasn't my intention by talking about my general annoyance with these quirks but I guess if it pisses you off it's worthy of the thread.

Nah, I'm not upset. Just suggesting ways to find new friends that won't be as clingy. My overall point is that hobbies that are vague might get you a wide variety of people, but it does mean you'll find friend circles pretty lacking. Like I said, guns being the only thing connecting you to those people you call friends isn't a great sign.

You do seem upset at me calling you a coomer, but I meant in the way you seem shut off from the outside world, even if not by choice. I emphasize with your jaded outlook on pop culture, but do you think it's been holding you back from getting outside your comfort zone?

We're in a good time when Covid restrictions are dying down, and the Summer's beginning. Im sure if you focus on a hobby and explore new opportunites to make friends, you can find more than one friend group.

Or maybe get in touch with your old friends. Even if they're dads now, Im sure theyd love to catch up. Goodness knows id love to reconnect with old friends too.

You seem to have mistook my posts to be complaints about some sort of difficulty making friends when it was about my annoyances with a generations quirks and insecurities that I've discovered through friends I have begun hanging out with more over the past month.

I suppose that's a larger discussion on how people see different generations, and perhaps the overwhelming feeling of having the world at your fingertips, but feeling all alone simultaneously.

I really meant no hard feelings, but I get why youd feel slighted, that's my b. Are you hoping to salvage your friend group and accept their neediness, or are you ready to distance from them for your own sake?

It really doesn't need to be salvaged. Maybe I make it sound worse than it is. It's just annoyances at worst, probably exacerbated by the fact of it always being like midnight to 3 am when the shit starts to really take a toll. They could easily make posts in here about how quick I am to end a night.

Accepting people for who they are is a part of life. I've known three of the people in this group for around 10-13 years now, we were former co-workers. I'm getting to know them better now, and yeah, some of the these quirks that show up when they are seemingly at their most vulnerable are annoying, but I've dealt with annoying shit from every friend I've ever had. I've accepted that I'm easily annoyed and have tried to deal with that my whole life. These posts as well are me trying to deal, understand and accept it, probably because it feels so foreign to me.

And the rest of the people are good people too. I don't hate them, just kind of annoyed. And truth be told, I was more saddened then annoyed up until this weekend when they seemingly got super clingy.

In truth, my apprehension in going on this 4 day camping trip with them is more about me losing my cool and getting them to start hating me than anything else. I mean, if things fell apart I'd probably find other people to hang out with but like I said I've known some of these people for a long time now. They weren't my closest friends, but there's still something comforting there.

I think the Sonic fanbase is crazy. I'm getting hit with copyright claims for unlisted videos that I linked there.

Understanding your mindset, I can appreciate you sticking with them; I had assumed these people were more tentative new friends now that your old group fell into their families. Perhaps I focused in on the feeling of being left behind and forced to find new friends because moving on just sucks in the beginning.

I feel that a lot of men in their early 30s/late 20s are in an odd transition period where it's now more socially encouraged and accepted to feel vulnerable, but the idea of being vulnerable is still awkward and emasculating, a byproduct of toxic masculine standards prevalent over the last generation and further

I know on Kiwi Farms, that kind of talk is frowned upon as SJW bullshit, but it would explain why your friends might seem really clingy, especially if they feel comfortable enough with you to bear the unfamiliar feeling of being vulnerable.

You can either emphasize and be patient, but firm, with them, so you reach a better level of friendship, or immediately set boundaries to maintain an aloof friendship. I think both options are perfectly valid, and you shouldnt have to capitulate your ideals for the sake of friends who arent that close to you

Asked a coworker if she had anything planned for the 4th. Cunt immediately starts chimping out saying “no because of the Supreme Court there’s nothing to celebrate in this shit pit country anymore!”

A simple “no” would have sufficed, you spastic freak. But I forget, nobody can go five seconds anymore without sperging about politics because everybody is insane everywhere

Vulnerability is for someone who is close to you. It is something between friends. You cannot inflict it on strangers and that is exactly the problem with this infliction of bullshit on strangers, this crybullying. And when someone tries to drag you into this level of intimacy without your permission, it is repulsive. It is creepy. It is not something the target consented to.

Vulnerabilty is only acceptable for women. Vulnerable "men" are less than subhuman

I mean, context obviously matters. Milwaukee did say these some of these people know him for 10+ years.

I hope common tact exists with people

I asked the same question last week. Damn near started a catfight into tears. Are we just going to cancel holidays because of politics? Fucking pathetic.

Like it or not.

"Vulnerability" is overrated, anyway. People need to be self-reliant to a degree. This is truest in a collective.

I hate how my kitchen goes from 'good' to 'crime scene' after only a couple of hours of cooking. It's an endless cycle and I hate it, but it really is worth it when it means having good food for us to eat at home every day. Like so many other things in life.

Having to get rid of a hand-sized piece of pork.
The large piece was ftom the market and had prob already been damaged, so two days were enough for it to turn literally green.

I mean, they are tentative new friends. Out of the group of 12 people I only worked with three of them. And I wouldn't exactly say the three of them are super close with me. They were work friends and we kept in touch over the past 10 years or so, hanging out at parties once or twice a year.

I don't know, I'm starting to realize I should have seen this coming with how much they talked and complained about their sexual relationships. I'm starting to wonder if their insistence on me hanging out with them is the same as their weird possessiveness with their sexual partners while also trying to maintain open relationships.

I guess my issue is I thought this was just sort of a casual friendship with a group I was striking up, and it seems like they want to fast track it into something else which puts me off? I don't know. I do feel like I'm kind of lost and trying to understand how people work now.

Even though it's only been 2 weeks since the solstice, I still notice the nights drawing in

It's simple, friend. Just do what I did, which was to obsess over the daylength data for your city on timeanddate.com, until you find you're either despairing over the shortening days or else aching for tomorrow's ability to put off twilight for an extra minute, never living in the present, always anxious over the lost opportunity of last week, or the pressure of the next. After enough of this an important part of you will be so calloused you'll just start taking your walks and shit at night because you no longer heed the monsters that lurk in the dark, for you have already robbed yourself of something more valuable than anything they could take from you. Sometimes I even get to see a bat or an owl which is nice.

It's healthy to find means of expressing yourself, since 'self reliant' men just bottle up or completely ignore their legitimate feelings. With how incels end up an heroing before shooting school children, that doesn't turn out too well.

Often times that means being vulnerable to fully contextualize how to find true self reliance. We shouldn't shame men for starting that process later in life.

Men need their no-homo bro time. Iron sharpens iron. Being vulnerable just means having real, sincere conversations. It doesn't necessarily mean being a clingy crybaby.
