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

Rug Cleaning videos on YouTube.

It's because there was one genuine rug-cleaning channel that got successful enough for people to jump on the bandwagon. It's like the "just rolled in" videos, which are all stealing content from one another and the OG channel, or all those primitive technology knock-offs.

This is autistic as its a subject I don't really care much about, but...

I hate when I hear people pronounce "lolicon" as "Lolly-con." It's Low-lee-con." It comes from Lolita Complex, and Lolita is pronounced "Low Lee Tuh." Nobody would ever say "Lolly Tuh." It also just makes me think of lollipops, which I would rather not do in this context.

(Although actually you could argue that the "lollipop" connection actually makes "lolly-con" a better pronounciation.... but don't argue that, please)

I attribute it to being kind of in the same vein as pronouncing the prefix "pedo" as "pee-doh", just because "peh-doh" sounds dumb, even though the full root word is "peh-doh-[file]". Fitting that they're both products of the same topic.

Meanwhile, the britbongs pronounce "pedophile" as "pee-doh-[file]" for some reason. But TBF, that's one britism that makes enough sense to accept, IMO.

What pisses me off about the subject is that our language isn't just phonetically spelled in the first place because most people used to be illiterate and no one wanted to bother standardizing the use of our alphabet. Even the spelling of the word "alphabet" is an abomination to writing.

People who constantly cheat and fuck around, and the second they either get cheated on or find out nobody wants to be with them they start crying and making a fuss to anyone they think will listen.

Oh, they tried to standardize it and fucked it up even more

Referring back to when I talked about gore fetishists: I can't fucking stand the people who regularly watch gore videos and get a kick out of it. They're certified degenerates, possibly psychopaths. Anyone who goes down that rabbit hole does not come out unscathed.

And to be specific I'm not talking about occasionally watching one out of pure curiosity, I've been there before; but I never got aroused or laughed at it. It's disturbing, as one should hopefully feel.

 

[AnOminous]

I hate when I hear people pronounce "lolicon" as "Lolly-con."

I would just hate that I was even in the same room as someone saying that word in public around other people. What the fuck kind of people do you know who are saying that shit in public?

That's just how Brits pronounce it.

I used to do this. I've probably damaged my soul irreparably with this awful kind of trash, out of some weird desire to plumb the depths of horror. The breaking point was one particularly awful cartel video, which made Funky Town look like a cub scout jamboree. It was beyond awful. I just decided okay, enough of this, I'm done.

If you ever went from rotten.com to stileproject and then to the kind of shit ogrish used to have, you've Seen Some Shit, you didn't need to, and it was probably a bad idea, but you did.

.... Dude why was your first thought that I must've heard it IRL and not in, like, a Youtube video?

..... I just realized that this probably means you're normal and I'm terminally online. I hate myself.

I've never been down the gore rabbit hole, but it sounds similar to why I don't like porn and hentai.

Like, if it was just gals naked or videos of sexual intercourse, fine... but they always have to add a ridiculous extra step (or twenty), or show way more detail than I would like, or just have characters that behave in ways that I personally wouldn't... or or or....

Just one example....

I recall being shown one anime which begins with this high school girl getting molested in a park. Which okay, some people have a rape kink... but the rapist is a gross old man. Why would you ever do that? I'm sure even the target audience for a hentai anime would get grossed out the minute they had to think about old people in these kinds of circumstances.

Another one I was exposed to against my will was this one that tried to do Slayers-style goofy antics before--again--devolving into a rape scenario (Japan, you have problems). It was some thing where it tried to have RPG aesthetics and a wizard dude who would pop up in a speech bubble and react to things, and like... in this case it wasn't gross, it was just kinda weird, The last thing hentai needs is Family Guy-style cutaway gags.

No, it's "lo-lita"
And even if you go for the uncivilised American pronunciation, it's "low-li-tha

It's not hard to say "pe-do". It sounds dumb, because people fuck up the pronunciation.

It does't make sense, and my bet is it come from the time where the Brits migrated to America. Basically brought back this new fancy word.

On the topic of muricans fucking up the pronunciation of words. They simply refuse to pronounce designer brands right. The directors are even calling them out for how retarded they are.

 

[Neighborhood Curmudgeon]

Firstly, hello again everyone!

I know it's more or less old news by now, but the "campaign" against Kiwifarms still pisses me off. In the past, Kiwifarms would have been treated as just another Internet forum. Nowadays, because of certain types of people, it's treated as evil incarnate.

On the same note, I'm sick of activists. Those people need to learn to live life again instead of being cogs in a run-down political machine.

Meanwhile, the britbongs pronounce "pedophile" as "pee-doh-[file]" for some reason. But TBF, that's one britism that makes enough sense to accept, IMO.

The first part comes from the Greek word for boy, and also occurs in encyclopedia/encyclopaedia and pediatrician/paediatrician. A lot of words end up with two pronunciations, just like how economics has both eekonomics and eckonomics (and an obsolete spelling, oeconomics).
What you'll often (but not always) find is that both pronunciations were in use in the UK and the US, but gradually one of them came to be considered "the UK pronunciation" and the other "the US pronunciation" (like vahz vs vayce, nyews vs nooz), although in some cases there are certain regions in each country it's well established that the "other country's pronunciation" is used (e.g. for the word aunt).
This appears to be the case with the term paedophile. In the UK, the peedo pronunciation has won, but it wasn't always the case, for instance a British paedophile uses the "American" peddo pronunciation at 2:32 in the following clip from 1983:

It also shows that at that time they wanted to make "paedophile" the acceptable term, rather than the insult it has rightly become. (Also their arguments and methods haven't significantly changed, but unfortunately some people just let them win, like the school that hired that gay paedo to teach kids with buttplugs, as seen in that Project Veritas hidden camera interview.)

 

[Dysnomia]

I'm tired of my cat being accidentally let out. Thank God she's spayed and microchipped. But I'm still working on getting her to tolerate a collar. I play with her several times a day.

She's smol and really fast with a heavy prey drive. All sparrows must die. She doesn't go far but I spotted her going through a gap into a yard of a house where a pitbull lives. The dog seems docile. But who knows what she's like with cats.

It's so easy to put my cat in the downstairs bathroom when you have to open the back door. Or at least check behind you to make sure she's not slipping by. I don't want her in the basement either. She got out through a vent with a loose cover a few times. I wedged bricks into it. Thank God I thought to check the basement windows and vents for escape routes.

I've trained her to tolerate being in my bedroom alone when I'm not home. And she only likes me anyway so most of the time when I am home she's with me anyway. But watching a nine month old cat 24/7 is not possible. So someone else needs to be vigilante too. It only takes a few seconds to make sure he isn't headed for the door. She almost never gets out on my watch unless the dog gets in the way.

Don't tell me that she's an outside cat because she wants to go outside. People literally told me this.
Door dashing is a common problem. I'm working on preventing it so when she gets older she'll be used to being a house cat. She's calmed down since being spayed.

I'm sure this is just an unconscious force of habit, but what bothers me is when people use "we" to refer to an indeterminately large group. As in, "we (the farms) hate troons", "we (Germans) love beer" or "we (in the past) always used to do it like this". Bitch, you're not speaking for everyone, nor could you possibly have the knowledge of such.

Reminds me of how anyone left leaning is automatically considered fag friendly or anyone right leaning is considered Hitler incarnate.

[Lone Wandering Courier]

More so an annoyance, but it's the claim from npcs that we "conspiracy theorists" believe that we know more than "experts". I don't think anybody claims to actually know more about something than the "experts", we just believe know that the "experts" are immoral conmen that can't be trusted and should never have had power. Plus, it helps that stuff gets leaked or real journalists trap them into admitting what they are upto.

Also, on another note, I hate that the idea that if somebody has a phd that makes them smarter then everybody else on any and every subject. People with phds are ironically some of the dumbest motherfuckers around. I recall an article being shared here a while ago about scientists wanting to use human excrement as fertilizer when any farmer from even centuries ago can tell you that is a bad idea.

 

[Bunny Tracks]

Pillheads that snort their medication, and then constantly sniff ridiculously loudly, and grossly.
