When somebody drives over the crosswalk when stopping at a light, and doesn't correct themselves. Thanks for making me have to walk AROUND your vehicle.

Slide over their bonnet to assert dominance plus it looks cool when you get it right.

If you’re expecting them to backup into traffic, then you’re the retard there.
Tax: cars that pulled too far forward at a stoplight, then start backing up to compensate.

When you're stopped on a steep hill and the car behind you pulls right up to your bumper, pretending gravity doesn't exist.

When people stand way too close to you in the store. In general, I don't like it when people come too near me so it's just about very uncomfortable when I stand in cue and there's someone behind me whose cart is actively pressed against my backpack or I can smell their brand of tobacco because they insist on standing right behind me.

No, fuck off. It's like people are overcompensating for the Kung Flu restrictions.

Also my writing groups. I've dropped them all.

Spoiler: MATI tirade

They got infested by lefties and trannies with the most braindead takes and policing on what words others should use and not and why it's bad to say "crazy" and "delulu" but okay to write rape child incest scat vomit porn.

"No, it's not child porn. It's CSEM. So I can jerk it to lolicon because no child is hurt."

Fuck you. My question is why do you feel the urge to write CHILD PORN to begin with?

"Muh trauma. It can be healing to write about your abuse in a new sexual light. Also, I'm providing a service by giving pedophiles an outlet instead of hurting real children."

Okay, so I don't subscribe to the idea that media can influence most people unless they are children or already fucked in the head so what the fuck is that justification? Fucking performative horseshit.

And you dumb cunts say "No, the word crazy is ableist" and "delulu is a slur against schizotypy individuals" while justifying the shit you do.

Yeah well, y'all are a bunch of crazy delulu pedophiles. Suck my left nut and hang yourself the next time someone DARES to misgender you. Let's pray no actual children come ten feet near you.

Though about putting this in the AI thread, but I feel like it probably fits more here,

The discourse about AI really annoys me because both sides of the argument have to go the the extremes and it basically switches on a daily basis which side I think is currently being the most retarded.

Anti-AI: This is by far the most vocal side and has more individual annoying traits. The amount of seething that happens from these morons if AI is used for anything is just not reasonable for anyone rational. They can love some piece of art and gush about how awesome it is but the second it's pointed out it's AI (the fact they often can't recognize it just makes it all the more stupid of a position) they instantly whine about how it must be boycotted and such. The fact these many of these jokers actually want to large scale ban AI art is such an absurd leap. They have this weird fixation that you HAVE to hire real artists if you're doing ANYTHING, no matter from the smallest one-man thing to the largest corporate project and it just comes off as a hypocritical protection of their own self interest when they don't care when any other field is automated. This obviously applies to writing as well and the seethe that comes from the wide scale opinion that modern day writers are so shit people would prefer AI is at least funny.

Pro-AI: This side's idiots are much less common, but their particular cope really rubs me the wrong way. The thing they do that drives me up a wall is calling themselves stuff like "prompt artists" and pretending they have some kind of talent because an AI made art. The most deranged of this type will actually compare themselves to real skilled artist and claim to be as skilled. A really big example of this is when Shadiversity made an absolute laughing stock of himself by bragging about being so talented at prompting with his stupid anime girl picture, look it up if you haven't seen this saga it's pretty hilarious.


Ultimately it's the Anti-AI crowd who are probably worse overall because they want to gatekeep a really cool and fun technology that can be used by everyone for their own selfish desire to be seen as special, but it's hard to not hate the talent-less Dunning-Kruger Effect morons who don't understand AI is a tool doing 99.999% of the work for their sheer smug stupidity.

I think the AI "art" flooding search engines is shit and it's annoying as fuck that you can search for something and get nothing but AI crap. It's like the grey goo apocalypse of art.

But I'm at a point I don't even care. I want the entire world flooded with AI. Just suck it up you little bitches. The AI seethers have brought out my nihilism into its final form. I hate these so-called human "artists" more than I love art itself.

I just want to feed upon their pain.

Some faggot keeps putting the gas nozzle away with the trigger locked down so I have to check it before I get ready to pump gas or else it sprays everywhere. I've seen this at multiple gas stations.

 

[internet friend]

People that will use something wrong/misunderstand it's use, then spend ages shit talking it because their understanding is wrong. For a rather exaggerated example: someone not putting in dish washing powder when they run a dishwasher, then talking about how terrible the dishwasher is.

I don't like that AI art has an Uncanny Valley problem, like CGI did in the 90's. Teething problem of the technology? Sure. But it still bugs me.

"""Drunk""" zoomers.

A bar I frequent on the weekends has been invaded by zoomers. After one Mike's hard, they begin to shove each other and screech.

To be fair, it has been getting a lot harder to distinguish between AI and human art. Then again I’m one of the worst artists to put pencil to paper so I could just be stupid.

Pro-AI: This side's idiots are much less common, but their particular cope really rubs me the wrong way. The thing they do that drives me up a wall is calling themselves stuff like "prompt artists" and pretending they have some kind of talent because an AI made art. The most deranged of this type will actually compare themselves to real skilled artist and claim to be as skilled.

While I’d call myself mildly anti-AI art, I can see the other side’s arguments and even agree with them. I can agree that artists are annoying pricks and can be condescending, of course so is most of twitter. Yes I agree it does make things easier for one man teams to do shit. Hell I agree that regulating AI is a bad idea especially with the current people in charge. For me though, I just don’t believe this AI stuff will lead to a positive outcome. No one will stand out, if you have a unique art style it will be fed into a machine where someone will spit out millions or pieces for nothing. Same with highly skilled artists, stable diffusion goes brrr. Oh you managed to integrate AI with your art? Again stable diffusion go brrr. All the arguments go about how the output is random go out the wayside now that (iirc) foooocus let’s you choose the pose and has controlnet.

I honestly feel conflicted, because again there are good points buried on both sides. And I can’t in good conscious support banning every AI out there because it puts people’s jobs at risk. But at the same time, people gotta eat and losing your job because your (((boss)) wants to save money quality be damned isn’t good. I think I’ve resigned myself to the fact that the machine has won and there’s nothing I can do to stop it. At least with humans I can catch up to them, not with a machine.

When people don't close condiments right at all and there's crusty bits on the nozzle/rim/etc. It's upsetting to me. : c

 

[Clem Fandango]

Getting "old". I've had fucking lower back pain all day today just because I did a long drive yesterday and had my car seat at the wrong angle and/or too far back. It's the kind of thing you just shrug off in your 20s but now I guess I have to start taking extra care with my car seat settings or doing stretches or taking vitamins or some shit. I'm 37.

When people don't put condiments back in the fridge after opening them. It clearly says on the bottle: Refrigerate after opening.

You know what you need to do.

Fun fact: in that scene in Midnight Cowboy, they had no permits or any permission to be shooting at all. Dustin Hoffman ad-libbed that after a cab nearly hit him in reality.

You're too tired to sleep, and not stimulated enough to do anything else. Bullshit.
