You finish arguing with somebody (or they just end it), THAT'S when you just come up with a good comeback. Now it's just lingering and stewing in your head.
This also applies to regular conversation too. Damn it, why didn't I say that before?

Had to take a two hour trip to get emergency medication. On the way there had the opportunity to see an emergency food bank set up for all the people who lost their jobs because of the woo flu chink stink. Hundreds of cars, just hundreds lined up in a parking lot. Dozens of workers helping out. Went forward, Came back like two hours or such later. even more cars, BY THE HUNDREDS.
I hate you, democrats, fauci, and chinks who did this. Broke my dead black heart on the way back. This, I hate.

Sign of the times: local arts and crafts store has a classroom, which is now an empty room. On the door is a sign for classes online. With Zoom meetings! Such an effective way to learn and interact!
It seems like there's no real life anymore.

I swear Walgreens had $2 two liters back in the day when most stores they were 70 cents.
When you're jonesing for fizzy beetis juice and nothing else is around that is a crime.

"Just rack the shotgun" yeah I'm definitely gonna send the potentially armed home invader into either a panic or rage and give away my location. I'm sure he will assess the situation calmly and logically and surrender

Blogs and accounts with a specific niche interest that start posting more and more off-topic shit. I know with Twitter it's to be expected that lots of people try to meet a "woke post" quota, but I just want to indulge my autism and look at blogs that post cute animu figures. And account bots that post said animu figures have been posting so many petitions and "I'm oppressed, give money pls" posts more than actually posting the shit people follow them for. I get wanting to spread awareness or whatever but you're a fucking account that posts animu figures with a bot, so why post this shit 70% instead of what people followed for?
Just give me animu figures, REEEEE

Their comments don't even make any sense. I'm not even cold because I took the time to dress appropriately. If they dressed the same, then they wouldn't be cold either.

Honorable professionals in any field are hard to find because most, if not all, are old enough to either be retired or dead. There were the pros who focused on providing no-frills quality service that were as reasonably-priced as possible -- especially for those they knew had tight budgets.
Conversely, many of today's professionals seem to view customers and clients as little more than dollar signs
and place less value the little things that earn them someone's long-term business and favorable recommendations.I feel as if Patreon is used a grift most of the time where the promise is "Give me money and I might create something from time to time when I feel like it or get enough money to make it worthwhile." Those creators who use it the right way so to speak are definitely in the minority.
When I started working at my present job and started working on our restaurant clients' monthly bookkeeping, I found it eye-opening to see how much waitstaff made per hour after taxes and after tips were removed from the equation. Diners shouldn't be expected to tip so much that they're subsidizing the bulk of their server's pay.
This happens in all sorts of stores. Go there in winter and find tank tops, swimwear, and flip flops. Going to the same store the middle of summer looking to replace a seasonal item results in one finding snow boots and other winter gear. It's very frustrating to know what you'll need in terms of season items six months in advance because that's how the stores primarily stock their shelves.
My related peeve is this one site that hosts software updates for a freeware program I use. As soon as I click on the download link and before the "Save As..." dialog can display, I'm redirected to "pretty please allow ads so you can download your update and support us."
Equally annoying are the sites that display a "We see you're using an ad-blocker. Please consider disabling it." pop-up on every single page one browses on that site.
I've observed the same thing. There's nothing inherently wrong with people behind niche interest blogs, podcasts, etc. having and expressing their opinion on current events. When they sperg out about it so much that they don't talk about the actual topic of interest, however, it's off-putting.

Doesn't that waste cartridges?
Here in Bongland we have a newspaper called the Guardian which I occasionally read to get a balanced view. It constantly begs for money on its website and bitches if you have an ad blocker by displaying messages about bringing in a paywall.

When people insist that all tap and bottled water tastes the same, and that you have to be delusional to say otherwise.
Some water is delicious, and some is fucking vile: if it's all interchangeable to you that means your taste buds and/or sense of smell are shot.

Soft and hard water definitely taste different.

I think it's largely the result of people who behave in ways they know they shouldn't and then, when caught, are quick to say, "Well, there wasn't a rule (explicitly) stating I couldn't do X," or ,"I didn't know I couldn't do that," to try to avoid any consequences for their lack of personal responsibility.
As an example, a coaching colleague dismissed 2 or 3 players off her team for underage drinking. The players and their parents made some sort of appeal and argued that they couldn't be dismissed because they were never specifically told underage drinking would get them kicked off the team. The dismissal was reduced to a 2-3 week suspension and my colleague was so furious she made an announcement on the team bus the day after the appeal meeting to tell everyone something to the effect of, "Because you can't figure it out for yourself and we apparently didn't make it clear enough, anyone who's caught drinking underage will be kicked off the team starting now. Don't say we didn't warn you."
Not only that, but people who are used to one of these usually notice the difference right away when they drink the other. In college, I was part of a weekend-long team-building activity. The camp we stayed at had some form of hard water with that distinctively different taste. Those few people that had never had hard water before either didn't realize it tasted different or had no clue why and learned their lesson the hard way when all the water they gulped down that first night gave them cramps the next morning.

I don’t think I’ve ever had water that tasted bad. Probably because I’m not poor I’d surmise. Side note, I was once interviewed for some guy’s book and he bought me a ten dollar water at some fancy restaurant.
