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

Very autistic, but almost every time I see something talking about planets or space in general and they show a picture of Venus, they don't show an actual photo or render of Venus, but this weird composite map of it's surface.

Venus does not look like this. Venus has an atmosphere. That combined with it's proximity to the Sun is why it's the hottest planet in the solar system. It looks like this:

Just a white ball with streaks of tan clouds. It does not look like a piss yellow copy of Mars from space. I understand this isn't as visually interesting as the composite, but this is just how it is. Even fucking Google gets this wrong when you search Venus.

IT EVEN SAYS RIGHT THERE THAT IT HAS THE THICKEST ATMOSPHERE OF ANY TERRESTRIAL PLANET IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM, BUT WHAT IS THE FIRST FUCKING PICUTRE THEY SHOW? THAT'S RIGHT, PISS YELLOW MARS!

Slightly related. It bothers me when people think we only went to the moon once. It happens a lot. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were literally the only mission. They don't know about any of the others.

This is the entire baseline for "da moon landings were FAKE!!!!!" bullshit. I've never met a moon landing denier that even knew we had multiple Apollo missions (17 was the last one FYI).

I'm going to briefly tardguard here and say that I believe some of those people are merely asserting that the *first* moon landing was fake. The relevance of this is that it would have served a role in discouraging Russia from going to the moon, if they could falsely convince them that America had been there first. Some of these people believe future moon landings happened and merely ascribe to less tardation. Even I'm not particularly fond of splitting hairs to differentiate this "community" but my autism compelled me in this case. Again, they still believe other bullshit, but I think many of them JUST focus on the first one and believe in the veracity of other visits. By my estimation, this makes them *slightly* less retarded than flat earther types but this really isn't a hell of an achievement.

I feel for you, fren. Even I've had frustrating moments with Target and Walmart preferring to stock their shelves with overpriced consoomer junk and not selling practical stuff people want - instead encouraging people to purchase the latter via online-only orders. I'm not sure what senior citizens do when they're physically or technologically unable to place online orders.

Your story reminds me of a recent experience with refilling a prescription. The local pharmacy spent three days saying, It didn't arrive yet, try again tomorrow," before finally admitting they had no idea if they'd ever receive it let alone when. Calling a rival chain got a more favorable response of, "We have plenty available at these stores within a 25 mile/40 km radius. Which one would you like to pick it up from?"

Nothing makes sense any more. *sigh*

I'll even go one further. These engines are designed to have critical parts in extremely inconvenient locations to make work for mechanics and keep them in business. What used to be a 20 minute fix with a 30 dollar generic part is a 4 hour fix with a 500 dollar custom part. This is principle amongst the reason that oil changes are no longer cheap. There is an extreme amount of "make work" in these situations to "create jobs." Worse, nowadays, they can remotely disable features and make them subscription features retroactively, effectively abrogating their initial contract, seizing property that has been purchased and renting it back. This all falls under "you will own nothing and be happy," Better to buy cheap cars and invest the savings.

Buying a cheap beater and driving it till the wheels fall off is the best way to drive. Not only is it usually older and easier to repair, you just don't have the worry that someone's gonna ding your brand new expensive car.

A bit minor but, when people ask a question that would only be a one-input answer kind of a question. You get these pricks that just list off 50 things like as if they're so self-important, they got to cover so much ground and take up all individual answers. It's like that asshole kid in school who always raises their hand to answer every question and just goes fucking on because they want to showoff how much they think they know. Bitch, you googled more than half of your answers, shut the fuck up, nobody invited you.

This is why I love always having beat up cars. Come on, bring it bitch, I'm trying to merge here, look at MY car, do I look I'm afraid of dents? BRING IT you COCKSUCKER with your fucking Mercedes, I believe I have the right of way, because I do not give a SINGLE SHIT about another dent on MY car, bitch.

Wanna gamble? Feel lucky?

But that's a really hot Venus. It's a Venus that needs my Penus.

The conspiracy is they're trying to hide how sexy the real Venus actually is. God I want to fuck Venus so hard.

Fuck all this noise. I want a new car. Mine is 15 and though only 105k miles, it needs (relatively minor but very noticeable) bodywork, and every time I'm into the mechanic it's $1-4k. Sick of it. I want something new with no problems, looks not embarrassing, and something smaller and with better mileage would be good, too (I bought it when I had little kids and needed three rows). Made the mistake of indicating interest in a car through a site last weekend, and it's been nonstop calls from three dealers for a solid week. Bitch it took me an hour to pick out the perfect set of new thumbtacks this morning; I am not interested in a pitch or pressure on a CAR. I just wanted emailed data that I can mull and analyze for a bit. UGH.

Both of my parents were modest earners but immaculate budgeters and immaculate investors. They both had old cars up until retirement and upgraded quality of car significantly post retirement, as both have retirement income and assets well exceeding their respective lifestyles. In effect, they both planned for a comfortable retirement early and got one and that was when they traded "comfortable experience" for "prioritize thrift." I'm going to be driving beaters til my old age no matter what for the many aforementioned reasons. Notably, the advice of "learn cursory auto mechanics and you'll save a lot on things like oil changes, air filters and spark plugs" hasn't aged as well for the aforementioned reason as to how new cars are designed. This is true of old cars, but not new ones. Oil changes were so cheap not that long ago and cursory maintenance was damned near free because so many people knew how to do it. I got spoiled when it was cheap and am loathe to scoot on my back these days, even with inflated oil change prices. Hell, I'd have to buy a fucking back pad to do it. I changed my own oil the first 10 or so years of my adult life and then just started using professionals because it was so cheap. Still spoiled by that pricing. The best standard as to whether to prioritze thrift or convenience is if it makes a sizable budgeting impact or if it makes a sizable assets impact. If it doesn't go nuts. If it does, prioritize the latter. If you're young/middle aged, you're almost universally better off with beaters, if only not to feed into an exploitative market that catches enough people.
