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

[The Last Stand]

I hate that Bing's DALL-3 prompt blocks certain prompts, but doesn't TELL you what and why it was blocked.

I hate that Bing's DALL-3 prompt blocks certain prompts, but doesn't TELL you what and why it was blocked.

They adjust it on the fly too. I did a lot of Confederate stuff for future profile pictures here and a couple days later, I got banned for an hour trying to do the same.

I was doing quite a bit of driving this past weekend to visit family as it was Thanksgiving here in the Chinese-Indian nation state of Canada. The amount of soulless subdivisions I'm seeing pop up everywhere (this isn't new, but it's markedly accelerated) makes me seethe, cope and dilate. It doesn't matter if you're driving through cities of hundreds of thousands of people or small towns of ~5000 people, they're just everywhere and it's like watching someone play a city building video game where they want to cram as many people together, wipe out all the trees and greenery to try to maximize profits and import more votes of the Liberal Party and the NDP Party (sorry for the political sperging at the end, but it's true.) At least the cost of housing will drop lmao.

This, this really grinds my gears. It was working fine, I couldn't even exit without unplugging my entire TV.

I want to murder everyone involved with this. From the slave labour mine to adrenochrome drinking pedophiles. I pray for the most intense biblical revelations for them.

1000 dead jews over a weekend? Pft what do I care?


Seeing this in my news feed?

Why does everything near and dear to me die horribly? ;_;

 

[The Connected Nose]

Any time I see a reference to Twitter/X/TwiX/whatever, it's always formatted as "X, formerly Twitter" no matter how awkward it makes the sentence. Probably one of the least-necessary mid-thought explanations ever.

Honestly it reminds me of the PS2 memory card days, when notices would say something like "Saving to Memory Card (8mb) (for PlayStation 2)." Needlessly verbose over-explaining of the blindingly obvious.

This sounds like an adult goosebumps story that gone to far

[Nonconsentual Pronouns]

I'm so sick of getting spam emails from sources that I generally can't/am hesitant to flag as spam. I'm not one of those retards who passes out their email address or any other personal info like candy on Halloween, so it's especially frustrating to constantly get adverts from my banks, base housing, clinic, etc.

It was so bad in the past with a previous housing office that I warned them via email to stop spamming my inbox or I would flag their spam accordingly and have legal excuse to never have to heed any of their more important emails ever again and they'd have to text me to communicate in the future until they fucked that up too. They ended up making a separate email source for sending unimportant horseshit no one cares about and mass sending an apology that was vague and passive aggressive. Cope, seethe and eat shit, office Karens. They can take their 16 "Boss Appreciation Day" news fliers and email it straight to some fucking iphone factory in China.

Busybody faggots seriously need to get an office appropriate hobby or start browsing the Farms at work; fucking anything aside from shitting up my time with their Japanese style attempts to look busy at work.

The microdosing trend. No, you are not enlightened. You are a retard on shrooms. Nothing more, nothing less.

Likely because PS2s are compatible with PSOne memory cards.

Speaking of games, why are you asking me to create an account to play your single player game?

"Incel" as an insult.
Anytime someone uses it, I just assume they're an asshole with an ugly heart looking for someone to lord their self-perceived superiority over.
It's basically that basic white bitch thing where someone thinks they have the moral high ground because of some arbitrary opinion bolstered by temporary and superficial consensus, and probably has no self esteem unless they have a crowd that will praise them. They wouldn't be saying shit like that to anyone if they weren't hiding behind a screen or if their opinion was unpopular.

Also: the whole Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce thing reminds me of two things:
1. Taylor Swift is an attention whore, and I can't believe that people can't see it. People are all like "oh, she's selling out stadiums for major bucks, why would she want more attention?" Umm...because there is nobody in the world who's ever been greedy for a thing (money/power/attention) has ever said "okay, that's enough". Gates/Zuckerberg/Bezos...tell me which of THOSE billionaires said: "I think we've done everything we can. I'm just going to stay in my lane and watch my earnings plateau." Swift is not an idiot, and easily has a rich people's mindset for expansion and higher profits. The difference is that unlike other billionaires, it's the only thing she's really talented at.
2. I hate filthy fucking casuals in people's hobbies. Sure, Swiftidiots are pumping money into the NFL, but those assholes are like "you should be grateful that they're giving the NFL money". At the cost of having to tolerate morons who aren't into the game shitting up the fandom and who will act like assholes to people who actually care about it and accuse them of "gatekeeping" because they think the fandom should kiss their asses and mind their manners because these assholes ask them to, and will drop it the second their girl finds that Kelce no longer suits her purposes/has a losing season (not likely but if)/brings her negative attention, or people stop caring.

 

[The Connected Nose]

the second their girl finds that Kelce no longer suits her purposes

Then she'll release another awful song about it, I'm sure. She's the emotion jew; kicked out of 109 relationships, but it's never her fault.

People seem to think that the line, "It's me. Hi. I'm the problem, it's me." is ironic and cute.

No, she's full-stop admitting that she's the asshole and her fans not only don't give a fuck, they feel like they're now a force to be reckoned with.

Basic white bitches aren't the worst, but they rival natural disasters when they mob up.

People capitalizing on other people's fears. Looking at you, Germ Solutions, USA.

As a casual Chiefs fan, it bugs me. It strikes me as forced, astroturfed normalfaggotry. Not to mention that it's probably another ploy to attract Cali cancer to a place they don't belong.

On that thought: people assuming you care about sportsball or watch it religiously.

"How 'bout that game?" No, I didn't watch, because I have a life.

Replica jerseys? If you wear another man's name on your back, you're a fucking loser. Get one with your own name on it.

But please stop using the royal "we" to refer to the team you root for. You are not on the roster.

The price of camera lenses. Extra sharpness and a lower F-stop would always be nice, but not when it costs as much as a reasonable second hand car!

Remember a time when you could just turn a TV on and watch it, and it didn't watch back?

As I said in the Disney gen thread I hope to god this is justvthe Journos exaggerating what is basically a few woke moments added because it's Disney being Disney allowing them in but keeping them brief so they can be edited out for China and the Saudis...but then I remember they allowed Dana Terrance to lez out the owl house to no end. All I can say is...one way or another everything I knew and loved is dead and buried.


Anways thread tax.

Kiwi Farms remembers.

My TV is made into as much of a dumb display as possible.

• No camera to begin with
• No microphone
• No Ethernet cable plugged in
• WiFi MAC address prohibited from WAN access
• WiFi MAC address explicitly denied for a DHCP lease
• All known advertising/telemetry domains blocked by local DNS
• No other wireless networks in range
• Google/CloudFlare DNS IP addresses static routed into oblivion

If I want to watch something on it, I plug in my chosen source (usually a small embedded device running Kodi in order to stream from my desktop).
