Oh I didn't know Aiden was a "new" name in America. It's been around Ireland for a long long time.
oh god I thought her name was straight up Air Wrecker :v:
[QUOTE=ImpSnob;48331862]Oh I didn't know Aiden was a "new" name in America. It's been around Ireland for a long long time.[/QUOTE] I've heard it mainly amongst younger kids, like 7-10, it's kinda "new".
[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;48330891](This is a local thing but saying it nonetheless) The whole "Just keep your chin up, Rockford will get back on its feet we promise!" It's been going downhill since the 80s. There's still the flight going on from when the industry collapsed. Hell, half the people who are at the community college I take classes at are "Getting a degree so they can get out of Rockford as soon as they can" Rockford is a failed city. A sad fucking story. I'll always love Rockford since it's my home and has been for nearly 18 years. But it's not going to just magically get better. Ever.[/QUOTE] Wait, is that Rockford, Illinois you're talking about? [editline]30th July 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=spoder55;48331220]Man, the 50s were the best. Communist witch hunts, polio was still a thing, smallpox a very high chance of nuclear war, formation of a dictatorship in Korea. Those were the best.[/QUOTE] Don't forget how uber-conservative it was. No drugs or underage sex at all! Also, I hope you like playing Cowboys and Indians because that was about all there was to do in those days!
[QUOTE=ph:lxyz;48325469]This is a popular trend that I despise. People shouting in youtube videos because they know it gets attention. Also, here comes the kicker: "Don't forget to subscribe, hit the like button, share it with all your friends, we're going for 2 million likes, thanks a lot guys it really helps". Honestly, shut up. If people like your video, they'll show that by pressing the button. DON'T beg for it.[/QUOTE] To be fair, That's part of the Filthy Frank character. [editline]30th July 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Pen Straw;48331693]I hate shit like this. If he's fourteen and hates doing shit that's popular with his age group, don't act all preachy and hateful like you're superior.[/QUOTE] Like seriously you can't be that insecure.
[QUOTE=cheesecurls;48331617]Well there's nothing wrong with it, its just the latest and most recently overused 'new hip' name for a majority of America. Also many times the name Aiden will be spelled differently. Similar to many African Americans naming their children 'Uneik' 'Yeauneek' 'Uniqe' etc.[/QUOTE] Depends on the origin, I don't know shit about modern african and african american culture, so I wouldn't know. But giving your child unique names of your own design is a bit cruel imo. If it's something of your culture I don't really care tho, we have long weird names like benedict, shakespeare, and whatnot we say in school so it's not like we can't handle big names. Also this is tumblr related, but astrology. No, not astronomy, I'm talking about the shit that's like "IF YOU'RE A TAURUS, YOU DO X. YOU'RE A CANCER, YOU DO Y". It's all over tumblr. Unless you follow very specific blogs e.g. fashion blogs, the glorious [URL="http://blog.dennys.com/"]denny's tumblr[/URL], or something similar you're bound to see astrology stuff pop up. [sp]The real reason I hate it tho ofc is because I'm completely insecure, because as a gemini I get a lot of shit in the astrology posts. Poor me :([/sp]

Astrology is fucking bullshit.
DEEZ NUTS was never funny
[QUOTE=Wealth + Taste;48332847]DEEZ NUTS was never funny[/QUOTE] I was in the unfortunate circumstance that this trend came into my school. I never fucking understood the reasoning.
I hate it when people assume that their nation is automatically doomed to lethargy and collapse due to whatever political side they oppose having the slightest choice in government. I've encountered it constantly in stereotypical old white Republicans. They declare the only way that the United States will survive is by lower taxes, no governmental regulation, or whatever political idea they endorse; without them, the United States is over. However, I've seen it happening on Internet forums like Facepunch and Imgur - there are people seriously worried that their liberal candidate won't win the White House, causing the entire country to descend into the Gilded Age (at best) or bloody revolution (at worst). It's two extremes on the same spectrum. I just wish that people would have a little faith that things can get better regardless of who is in office. Not everything in the world is a high-stakes game, even if Fox News or MSNBC says otherwise.

Drugs and chain smoking. I shouldn't need to pack a military grade gas mask whenever i visit your house.
Hashtags. Social media in general. Youtube meme master minecraft let's play cancer. Montage parodies. Twitch attention whores. Shitty unity survival horror games. Despicable Me. Mallcore. Politically retarded pseudo-intellectual teenagers. "Gangsta" "culture" Any music that plays in the radio(The last rock station shut down recently and even then it was nothing but Nickleback and other generic hard rock) Selfies. Apple Products. I should just move to Alaska and live in a log&sod hut without any contact with the outside world. Everything seems to annoy me, and I seem to annoy everyone.
[QUOTE=NeverGoWest;48334600]Twitch attention whores.[/QUOTE] This is a big fucking problem. Including girls with cleavages so visible it takes up half of their webcam. I guess sex really sells.
[QUOTE=FireArrow133;48334612]This is a big fucking problem. Including girls with cleavages so visible it takes up half of their webcam. I guess sex really sells.[/QUOTE] Even worse is when they take up half of the webcam, and the webcam is the main image with the game they are "playing" being scaled down to a tiny little square of messy pixels in the corner of their screen.

[QUOTE=NeverGoWest;48334624]Even worse is when they take up half of the webcam, and the webcam is the main image with the game they are "playing" being scaled down to a tiny little square of messy pixels in the corner of their screen.[/QUOTE] It's the evolution of Facecam gameplay! Next on the list is having no visable gameplay, only sound.
It appalls me greatly that it's literally a rule of Twitch to have gameplay at least 50% of your screen yet I never see it enforced.
[QUOTE=ImpSnob;48331390]The fuck kind of gang memebers smoke e-cigs? And what's wrong with saggy jeans and wearing a cap backwards? Doesn't effect you in the slightest[/QUOTE] Saggy jeans is dumb though. Nobody cares what underwear you are wearing. Also unsure if it is just a rumor old white people started or some shit, but I once heard apparently it started to show who was open to getting fucked in the ass in prison.
I forgot to add how much I hate how Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, etc. barely airs actual cartoons anymore, and it's usually just terrible low budget sitcoms. Most of them are terribly translated and dubbed too, and the few cartoons that air on these channels are unfunny and badly written. I want to watch superman and spiderman like in my childhood, for fucks sake. Also Courage the Cowardly Dog. God damn I loved that series.

Ever.[/QUOTE] I hate to say it, but the countys in MD are like this in a way. People are getting their wages cut, layoffs up the wazoo, higher age for retirement with little benefits. The houses here are EXPENSIVE AS FUCK! One floor houses near a city are around $25,000-$100,000, all the cheap ones are taken so far including ones near colleges. We've had this house for over 40 years (before I was born) and now we can't hold on to it anymore. I'm tempted to move out to Deleware with the folks in January, but I still want to complete my education and hang with the amazing friends I made. Can't lose them all because of some shitty government decisions and small money and educational benefits. Edit: Popular trend: I hate Minions. It's at a point where it's popularity overstayed it's welcome that it's mailbox is filled with "C&D" letters.
Yuppy nouveau-riche fuckers who think because they read the Times and wear fucking ridiculous chinos they are worthy of respect
[QUOTE=matt000024;48334811] but I once heard apparently it started to show who was open to getting fucked in the ass in prison.[/QUOTE] Honestly, that sounds like the kind of thing people make up to make people who wear their pants low look stupid. [editline]30th July 2015[/editline] [sp]Not that they need help looking stupid...[/sp]
Reality shows that contain spoiled nobrain women screaming their heads off at eachother over one slight thing. Who even wants to watch this type of shit? Society has succumbed so low to take entertainment from this. [editline]30th July 2015[/editline] I rather be on the receiving end of a 3 hour colonoscopy that turns into a porn video that can be found on a doctor's fetish site or somewhere obligatory.
TLC
How people refer to their small group of friends as a "squad." Are you guys like in the military all of a sudden :v:
