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

Seeing incredibly ugly and depressing public art will never fail to enrage me.
Also, when people claim that ugly art isn't actually bad if it was done by someone who's proven themselves capable of creating "good" art. I've heard this argument used to defend countless works, most notably those of Picasso.

Just because Picasso painted beautiful things like this:

...doesn't make things like this any less repulsive:

You don't need an art education to recognize aesthetically unappealing art. People have no problem shitting on otherwise great musicians (including their favourites) when they release a terrible song, so why is this any different?
Art doesn't have to be appealing but I'd agree public art should be. If people actually want to look at art that's disturbing or negative or even just plain bad, that is one thing, but when the government is inflicting oppressive, ugly art on the public at their expense, it's just an insult. It's an expression of state power. Look what we can force you to put up with in your community. It's a big fuck you from the state.

On that note, brutalist architecture can go and fuck itself.

If I wanted to look at ugly concrete blocks I'd move to some mining town in Siberia.
 
I hate startup culture so much. "We work hard, but we play hard" go fuck yourself
Its worse than that, the tech startup scene is the biggest pit of snakes I seen. You cofounder wants to steal your company, investors want to scam you out of your company, other startups want to steal your users, bigger companies want to steal your tech, the press will fuck your business and career for a story that nobody will bother to read

Its fucking hell, "play hard" my ass
This video summarizes start up moguls and influencer content creators perfectly

I dont know what I just saw but now I want to go out and stab people

Also what the fuck is wrong with this guy's face? and his head, its like mango-shaped...

Don't forget scamming their employees; they all want to hire young recent grads they can exploit because they don't know any better. They will pay a mediocre salary that dips below minimum wage since they expect you to work 11 hours a day and weekend until they hit it big. But they have a pool table and beer on tap because they're so chill! There is no HR and only a tenuous grasp of employment laws, which they get away with because they hire young people who don't know any better.
And the type of guys that start this are always the same, rich kids larping like they started at the bottom was very accurate. They are self-important douchebags who start their own company because they're too good to work for anyone else. They are nice and "fun" until they run into the slightest hint of trouble and the narc rage comes out as they dole out blame on their hand picked army of 22 year olds.
Pro tip, if you interview with the "CEO", run.
 
i a
Somebody test out what would happen if you put TRMP or MAGA as a clan tag. Would they disable it?

You take a nap and wake up MORE tired than before.
actually i HAVE seen people who use maga as a tag, even after the capital debacle, idk if it's supposed to be ironic when someone uses it but...yeah its a tag that ive seen. idk I doubt sledgehammer is still policing the "toxic behavior" they say they have low tolerance for, what with it being 4 years since the game's launch and everyone's more focused on cold war now.

The report system in CoD games doesn't do anything after a year of so from launch. You could try, but likely it won't do anything.

Sledgehammer did one final update and moved on from WW2.

yeah i guess it's for the best. Funny how after moving on from the game the player base pretty much added in the swastikas and neo nazi symbols SHG themselves refused to have in the multiplayer, The whole ww2 player base/community has become arguably an even scummier place than the farms now.

anyway better change the subject since this ain't the COD board.



Stupid people who use fancy or antiquated words or different versions of spellings to sound smart. E.X Chris when he started using the British spelling of color, colour or betwixt while he barley understood what any of those words mean.

I used to do that same thing. Misusing words actually makes you look dumber.

Morning breath. I hate that. Chew gum during sleep but it'll get stuck or you'll swallow it.

Could you explain more in the cod thread? I'm curious.

I can't stand that as well. However, it makes sense given that it's sleep inertia coming down on you even harder than usual due to your inadvertent messing around with whatever settings your body defaulted to.

Power-naps are best because of that. Half of a half-hour of rest, and you'll feel well, powerful!

As for me, it's a fairly recent find, but I just can't stand anyone who clearly paid money to be dumb on the internet (i.e. spending $5(+tax) for a Twitch subscription only to get banned for clearly breaking the rules, especially if it's only exclusive for subscribers).

Guys that just pour money to e-girls just to hear their name. And said e-girls. Prostitution on the Internet.

Mushmouthed motherfuckers who always mispronounce (and it's never one or the other, always both) "frustrated" as "fustrated" and "specifically" as "pacifically". And it can't just be an impediment or anything like that because all their other words are fine. Fucking knock it off, you sound like you're retarded.

Apparently "fustrated" is just the way people from New Jersey pronounce it, or so I heard from a podcaster who grew up there (and had to learn how to pronounce it the right way after constantly getting shit on by his listeners lol)

I hate it too though.

Also, if anyone over the age of about five mispronounces words on purpose to try be "cute". When an adult says "pasketti" instead of "spaghetti" I want to beat them with a stick

Those stupid motherfuckers online that talk about wanting their "chicken tendies" or "chickie tendies". Spoken like a manchild.
 
Shopping online, trying to find a specific item and it keeps bringing up wrong shit. I just want a triwing screwdriver and stores act like the only screwdrivers are phillips and flathead. And having to go to the store. The staff acts like shit. They either think that everybody is a thief, or they get pissed off just because they don't want to be at work.
