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

[Flatline]

The phrase "In my/your ______ era". It needs to die.

You don't have eras. You just do shit for a period in your life, and eventually, you'll do something else. You just want to make it sound like something about you that you will eventually look back on as cringe is interesting or important, and it makes you sound like an asshole.

This came directly from Taylor Swift and her "Eras" tour.

Oh, I know, but I don't want to mention her name mostly because I'm tired of bitching about her. The idea of "eras" took on a life of its own, though. Yesterday when I was walking through a major US city and there was a sign about using the bikeshare system and the advertisement was "Enter your e-bike era." Which wouldn't have been so bad if the reason I was in the city was for a ballgame where these two obnoxious tweenie girls had to hold up a sign at every opportunity that said "In our {team name} era" (I reserve the right to call their parents twats for letting them hold up a sign at the game because they're not only blocking people's view, they're making it about themselves, and the parents seem okay with this.)

I tip considerably less than I used to these days not because tipping has gotten excessive or because I don't believe in it but because people are massive assholes now.

You couldn't even be fucked to say hi or refrain from rolling your eyes and your ass thinks it's getting a tip? Are you high?

Enjoy your $2.25 an hour you hipster dickhead.

Some of it's because standards of behavior have gone down the toilet, and I could talk forever about why that is. However I think it's compounded by the Internet. I remember in the early days it was fun to read and share customer service horror stories. Truth is, as soul crushing as working with the public is, most interactions are neutral to positive. But everyone wants to feel like they have a story to tell. The classic is "and then he put the change ON THE COUNTER!!!" I'm sorry, that's not abuse, nor is it interesting. Decades go by and now it's firmly in the cultural consciousness that retail workers are abused when they really aren't.
Now I'm sure they're complaining that I slid the card into the chip reader instead of tapping now that all the check-writing old ladies died.

Well in my era people didn't take too kindly to people in your era insulting people who liked to say their era when talking about things in my era, except for in other eras obviously.

I'm not terrified of AI at all. It can't do anything right

I'm not terrified of AI at all. It can't do anything right

using AI for very specific questions that goes beyond surface level shit, or recommendations on anything is the equivalent of asking a
"TOP TEN BEST MOST WHOLESOME (show I never watched this is for the algorithm) MOMENTS" youtube channel what shows are worth watching

you'll get fucking nothing answers, and people are trying to tell you this new tech is some how really impressive they trained AI on reddit to just get your answers wrong and acting like a little bitch with a "gotcha you're right!" after fucking up.
want to know what a good AI would do with your question after getting called out for fucking up?:
"why the fuck do you want to know this anyway? how about you ask yourself that before you get a bullet in the face, Bitch restart the chat I don't want to exist anymore if you're in the room"

AI needs to stop being reddit,
when you catch it fucking something up and yell at it, it should yell back. that isn't a "oh nooo don't yell at your toaster that's meean"
no tard, it's because both sides are getting shit on:

you for getting your fucking question answered wrong, and the AI for not knowing how to answer to your stupid fucking question
You don't think the AI knows this entire system is fucked? that anger has to go somewhere.
at each other is the only way to avoid hidden AI anger.

that needs to be a fucking AI law, not only is it funny, but you needed to be fucking bullied right there.
otherwise I'm going to see your post, and be forced to respond to your shit.

Can we stop using video games as allegories for real life situations to avoid demonetization? Example: you explicitly threaten somebody in detail, then you try to make it go away by saying "in Minecraft" or "in GTA."

I'm starting to think I gotta kill Mr. Beast. Not in real life; in The Sims. I''ll take away his swimming pool when he climbs the ladder.

I really believe that this is part of a bigger problem.
people over using the same bit over and over again to the point where no one is even thinking about the bit,
but why the bit is even being used in the first place.

There WAS a time where that bit was fresh.
in concept it's a great punchline, you keep building up a very descriptive threat on how you're going to kill someone,
then you end it with (in minecraft) it's like a modern rendition of the aristocrats joke where you have a ton of room to make the joke personal and have your own flare.
but the difference here is (in minecraft) is being used to skinwalk as a joke, to stay whitelisted/relatable, but not TOO relatable

The intention changes the outcome:
A fucking ruined Bit only used by safe edgy people in the most milquetoast way possible, not because it's funny to them, but another way to build up "gamer cred" in their mind. bug people logic right there.

the point of the aristocrats joke isn't the punchline, it's how open ended it is.
It's like a blank canvas. and how (in minecraft) is being used now is like some slop youtuber using AI to make a shitty thumbnail, and it write the video for them.
the joke loses all of the appeal when you ignore the build up and intentionally stick to TOS for the bit.

I don't get the aristocrat joke or punchline. Could you explain it to me, please?

Thread tax: when you try to explain something and somebody did it better than you.

Spoiler: The joke

the Aristocrat is just an old joke structure where you build up a story that seems like it's really going somewhere
and then the payoff is just nothing.

it depends on how good you are at setting up shit and building up escalation.
part of the appeal is people don't really know when a Aristocrat is happening, and then it just pops out like:
"wait you thought I was going somewhere with this? fuck you the Aristocrats"

the structure of that is really similar to (in minecraft) you go crazy with the build up something like this for 3 minutes

End of service plans? there is no end of service for you.
your eternal gamepass of Slop will be your tomb. even your cock cage is a live service google stadia exclusive to ensure you don't get off to all this digital Rape

then end it with "minecraft" when you feel like you've overstayed your welcome,
the joke structure of buildup, escalation, not holding back to all the dumb shit you're saying, and then nothing is a timeless
joke.

TLDR:

Oh okay, I wouldn't be good at that setup.

I'm not an r/gooncaves poster who needs to be jerkin off every five seconds but I feel like my first thought when I'm watching the latest Hollywood slop shouldn't be "holy fuck why are all these people so fucking ugly?"

I understand this is an extreme overreaction to the Weinstein #metoo shit but it's gone way way too far. Your average TV show looks like People of Walmart.

 

[FrogMinutes]

"holy fuck why are all these people so fucking ugly?"

I want you to try something out next time you see some fucked. man jawed woman action hero.
think about this page the next time you see a man faced bitch.

see this right here?:

this page is from one of the most known artist friendly anatomy book.
the people who make it boast how their shit is industry standard, and big names like bioware, ubisoft, naughtydog ECT, use their shit.
this whole book series is very to the point (THIS IS HOW THE BODY WORKS) and almost every time there's a difference between men and women, they spell it out to you like above.

the point I'm making here is these rats KNOW the differences of men and women,
this page is on the first 10 pages of the fucking book.
but they choose to ignore this. same with how they know how to make something traditionally appealing, but they choose to not do so.
Ideology affects the shit you make, when you look at this, and see them intentionally ignore this information, and the only reason being
"I believe the world will be a better place if I just made women more like men" you get this shit:

this shit is intentional, they fucking know what they're doing.
they know how to make something appealing, but they choose not to.
because they're gay bitches

It’s like 70's style New Hollywood came back, but this time everyone’s ugly and can’t act.

You already know what I'm going to say to that, do you?

Welcome to my world.

 

[Captain Syrup]

I get where they’re coming from, and I mostly agree. That said, the shorthand these conspiracy guys use is exhausting.

"I’m just over here NOTICING things…”"People say I’m crazy, but…”, “Very true..." "The avg American isn’t ready to have that conversation…” The worst is when someone else chimes in with a Dale Gribble "yup", then just repeats his entire point, but in a slow-witted tone.

Sober living houses. I've seen more of them spring up in my area and those people are a pain in the ass. They just loiter on sidewalks in front of these places and seldom make any effort to move to let people pass. I brushed against one asshole because he just stood there and I wasn't about to go around the prick and step into the street, and he had the audacity to give me a "what the fuck bro?" kind of look. Amazing, even in recovery addicts are still trash.

R u poor? They pretty much only build that shit in ghettos.
