[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;48340650]Referencing to Wealth and Imp's posts, why are people calling buckskin slippers sprerrys? The name sounds so awkward and unfitting. Just call them what they are, buckskin/hide slippers or whatever the Inuits call their elk shoes.[/QUOTE]
They're called sperries

What happened to calling people who hate popular trends hipsters?

'Hipster' is just a fad where people try to assert their individuality and uniqueness, which ironically itself has become a trend people use to fit in.

[QUOTE=FunnyStarRunner;48312238]Not being able to discover cheat codes, secrets, and Easter eggs by yourself anymore because people have much easier methods of spoiling them nowadays. I don't mean stuff like GameFAQs or cheat sites like that; I'm talking about videos that blatantly give spoilers away or gaming journalism pieces talking about them.
It's a bit hard to explain, but basically you don't feel like you're discovering things on your own anymore since everybody else has done it. It's like "oh yeah, I remember read about that hidden room in Portal" and such.[/QUOTE]

People bitching about (video) game mechanics instead of learning how to deal with them.
California is an amazingly diverse place. Lots of different cultures, races, and backgrounds, but there is only one way to act: like you are a hard motherfucker from the deepest shithole in oakland. Its hard to describe what makes these people annoying, but basically they are obviously not from a poor area, and probably just grew up listening to rap so they call each other blood and say nigga like its nothing. Its like listening to really white people talk, except they use ebonics. Theyll use terms like mobbin when really theyre going to the movies in a honda civic then getting a bite at in-n-out afterwards, that kind of bullshit.
the word "fam"

I thought it was just a new label for people that didn't want the old labels. None shall pass the societally-induced labelling system!
But then some seemed to embrace it.
To me, a hipster is someone who rides their bicycle everywhere, thinks there are too many humans on the planet, believes Al ($) Gore, smokes weed and drinks gluten-free Starbucks coffee while typing on their Mac laptop and listening to iTunes on their beats by dre.

On topic though, I really, really do not like the whole "white house petition" thing, because 99% of the time if a petition does reach the numbers they "look" at it and just move it into the trash.

Most of what I'm seeing right now on Facebook is a lot of posts shared by my Muslim friend, I would be fine with it if it was a mix of stuff but a lot of the time it's about Islam and Muslims, Israel and Palestine or soccer memes, like he shares this stuff all the time and it drowns out a lot of other things.
He also doesn't really talk about much else in real life even when I've told him that I don't really care about religion all that much he keeps talking about it, even his schoolwork is about Islam most of the time when we're allowed to pick our topics.
Now for a trend that I really hate, every fucking person in Melbourne is going nuts over donuts with nutella inside that they call donutella's, so much so that there is a shortage of industrial sized jars of nutella which is making bakeries have to buy the small pots from the supermarkets now.
I can't even walk around to my local bakery without hearing something like "Oh my god, have you ever had donutella's? They're the BEST". I hear about the bloody things everywhere, I've even had them from the bakery they originated from, they're ok at best.
When gamers go all "PC MASTER RACE, FGT/CONSOLE PEASANT, HUURRRRRR" at each other.
You play games on PC and/or on consoles? Cool! that means you're a gamer nonetheless. Fuck what platform the game is on and shut the fuck up! :v:

One of my classmates is the epitome of the PC masterrace mentality, it's infuriating to listen to.
PC isn't master race because it costs so much for a gaming PC and you have to upgrade every so often. Plus you don't have to clean consoles. I also hate the term "girl gamers" because boys don't call themselves "boy gamers".

IMO people exaggerate this quite a bit, if you get a PC that's not a potato it will last you a good few years, since most modern games will run on just about anything unless it's something that's really pushing the envelope. You obviously won't be running things on max, but it'll still be playable.
I mean, at least we aren't in say, the late 80s and a good chunk of the 90s anymore, requirements to run new games advanced very quickly at that time. Whereas my build that I got to play battlefield 3 which was a GTS 450, and a phenom 2 black would still run games pretty well, up until it died last year.
I have a Radeon HD7770 I purchased back in 2012 and started using mid-2013 and it's still running up to this day even under high loads for about five hours a day since mid-2013.
It can run medium and high settings with post processing off at all games pretty decently.

Overusing bass in movies
Seriously, we don't need bass thumps every time someone fists another. we get it, it's intense. no need to over emphasize.

"why are you laughing?"
"i'm not laughing"
hold the fuck up you JUST said 'hahaha' this is fucking bullshit
ill be honest, im a very hateful man, but there arent many things that i hate the entirety of, like seapunk is fuckin shite, but some of the art is cool i guess, and i fucking hate kanye west as a human being, but hes a really good producer
its really difficult to think of popular trends i hate bc i tend to block them out pretty rapidly so that they're no longer part of my life, so i tihnk ill just be lazy as shit and say minions
and vines
