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

[Captain Syrup]

After a decade of dunking on feminism, interventionism, and AIPAC, I’m now seeing the same people hijab-posting and whispering “one day Iran will be free” like it’s a wish they’re blowing into a dandelion. I think a lot of us (Anglos) are just Grateful Dead conservatives.

Guess the most problematic part is, where the domestic slaves despise and look down on the field slaves and on those who were bought by a ''worse'' family than their own masters'. Also that some of them stay with Scarlet instead of burning her at stake or something.

The movie is actually more 'woke' than the book. They cut out some material (the Klan doesn’t make their Avengers-style appearance) and the Lost Cause syrup is kind of restrained.

It's still full of stereotypes, but no more than anything else Hollywood was putting out in the 30s.

Old fucks do not belong on the road period. We shouldnt even have this license regulation debate or figuring out how 70+ year olds need to re take their tests. No, fuck that, pull them off the road.

Never let some guy talk you out of using professional tax prep. Don't let friends or relatives do your taxes. Get your money.

Now the state thinks I have a kid.

British actors cast as American characters. Sure it's far superior to race-swapping, but Superman and Spider-Man are played by people with none of the required patriotism who constantly have to suppress their non-American accents.

When those who are public disturbances and dangers to society get a slap on the wrist instead of being arrested.

Exactly, and some people act like it's one of the most racist films.

Every developed country from Japan to Germany is cool with a little light public shaming to keep people from acting like raccoons. It’s considered part of a functioning society. Meanwhile in America, it is considered an assault on liberty.

Just a little...

Cardboard box is amazing product. Right up there next to wheel. The way you can flatten them and then turn them into box again. And they are durable light... All that.
But fuck these new boxes they deliver shit in... that are light but nothing of those other things. You have to but off whole top to open them. To flatten? Oh no they are all glue. And even if you take glue off, they still won't flatten like that, because they are folded for single use only.

Fucking gay.

** Edit: as something that pisses me a lot more came up
New Twitter account. Yes I call it that because it is much better name than gay X edgy furry came up with.
When you make new account, you WILL BE suspended. You can pay for subscription though. When they clear your suspension, your account WILL be limited at some point, and you can't appeal that. You can pay for subscription though.

I think Musk is not only Furry, he is jew furry ain't he?

 

[QE65]

People who have had a railroad spike driven through the part of their brain that deals with forward planning, or at least act that way.

Not expecting much, just a base level of adult brain and not needing to be reminded about basic essentials for a trip or group activity. If you are in your mid-late twenties and arriving for a 12 mile hike wearing sketchers with a tiny Nordstrom bag and no water, you have mold in your brain.

Changes in textile weight/quality. I buy a few brands of tee shirts in heavyweight cotton. Last year's were indeed nice and hefty. This year's are 30% lighter. Who knows what next year's edition will bring? I've seen the same reduction in towel heft too. Same price or more of course.

Never let some guy talk you out of using professional tax prep. Don't let friends or relatives do your taxes. Get your money.

Definitely don't let friends or relatives do your taxes if they won't act ethically and professionally about it in terms of keeping your confidential information private and staying up to date through continuing education because the tax law is constantly changing all throughout the year and not just with highly-publicized legislation such as the One Big Beautiful Bill. Even if it's simply a side hustle, any tax prep person who doesn't do both of these lacks the professional credibility they need to be seen as reputable and legitimate.

Thread tax: People who want to waste your time talking about frivolous matters but won't talk to you about more important ones.

I was about to leave work for a doctor appointment yesterday and sure as shit, some cunt comes in and needs my help for something past due. No, I’m not going to reschedule my doctor appointment that took weeks to schedule. She seemed shocked by this and apparently I just found out she ran to my boss to squeal who told her to get fucked.

No, your procrastination is not my priority or my problem.

I cannot deal with these absolute nobodies they dredge up for documentaries. Just some guy who once saw Greta Garbo at a Blinds 2 Go in '84 and has somehow parlayed that into being a commentator on the golden age of cinema.

And he’s like, “I met Garbo once. Well, saw her. From behind. In line. I never spoke to her. Never heard her voice. That’s when I walked out.” Man shut the fuck up.

That is what turns me off from watching these things, regardless of how good they're acclaimed to be. It's like asking an average concert-goer who spent most of their time on their phone recording the event than digesting the experience before them. Then asking them their opinion only to get the most vague, superfluous and uninteresting answer that they can think of and that'll somehow make it into the documentary as a very "knowledgeable" bullet point.

It's also like every damn YouTube video I've watched of X celebrity here, and the comments are like "YA I MET THEM AT SOME LOCATION I DON'T KNOW OF OR REMEMBER ANYWAYS THEY WERE REALLY NICE TO ME, MY FAMILY, MY KIN, MY DOGS" or it is the opposite "THEY WERE THE BIGGEST DOUCHEBAGS I'VE EVER KNOWN BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T KISS THE VERY GROUND THAT I WALKED UPON! IT IS NO WONDER THEY ARE GOING THROUGH THE SHIT THEY'RE GOING THROUGH!"

People will just fucking say anything to get even a morsel of the spotlight on them.

Adding to this about documentaries, but I fucking hate it when they overly use an overly glitchy effect like some retarded teenager's analog horror project so now you can't even understand what's being talked about.

Thread tax: People who just cannot take "No" as an answer and get pushier each time or treat it as if you told them to go fuck themselves

And they get paid to appear on camera. Easy money.

When I see people at the gym using the machine next to the one they're on as a damn coat rack, i.e. draping a sweater or some other clothing on it. It's just thoughtiess. Use a fucking locker, that's why they're provided.

 

[Captain Syrup]

Guys cucking themselves by slapping “Paleo” onto whatever ideology they already had : “Paleo libertarianism,” “Paleo masculinity,” “Paleo paternalistic Christian monarcho-nationalism,” whatever.

It's desperate and assumes the listener has no historical memory past the last Joe Rogan episode.

 

[Friend of Dorothy Parker]

I don't know if my rage is greater toward the fucking roadwork crews that put up giant signs and flashing lights warning people for miles that the right lane ahead is closed, which turns out to be not even the actual LANE, but a minor exit turnoff off the highway, AFTER WORK HOURS - no one was working at that point, just one truck with the giant flashing sign and an orange sawhorse, OR the fucking retarded fucking drivers in my state who flip tf out at any possible construction slowdown or merge requirement, but the combination of them meant that my commute was 10-20 mph from the moment of exiting my city and for a solid 10 MILES toward home. And God forbid they open up the toll HOV lane at any point, even though virtually no one was in it.

 

[Incitatus]

Getting asked for my phone number when I go to pay at a register. "What's a good phone number for you?"

I wish I could monetize the time my mother sat next to Kevin Nealon on a plane 10 years ago because she sure likes to talk about it still. I would have said, mom, that's not Kevin Nealon, he wouldn't have ridden coach, if I hadn't seen him myself when I went to pick her up.
She says he's very nice and polite.
