Shit that makes you mad - V28 - General

when people refer to themselves as their pet's parent. "mummy got you a treat!!! yes she did!" eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeurghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Are internet devices inherently unreliable, or is it just my life with them that’s shit? I’ve owned a desktop that couldn’t reach my wifi from ten meters, and a laptop that would always require troubleshooting to be run for it to connect. I also have my Chromecast that stops responding after you start streaming. Before you ask, I‘ve tried another modem.

Whenever a group of people agrees on something and someone voices how they disagree with the group to which the group tries to tell the person why they disagree with that person whereafter the person will proclaim the group to be a circlejerk or a hugbox

Lmao, try this https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/113069/472e60ba-fb32-43ff-a364-27c0aeb49155/wtf.png $60 for minimum order for mcdelivery. Sometimes I stay at this hotel and chill out with my friends, and they have to do this. It used to be cheaper back then.

You can't win an argument with a stupid person, so they should be fitted with a device that shocks them that lets them know they've lost, or are about to jump in an argument where they don't know anything about the subject. The shocking doesn't stop until the person mentally realizes their error and comes to peace with that fact.

I just want a job with a regular ass work schedule Not 12 hours Not 9 hours but I only get paid for 8 because "lunch doesn't count at this particular place" Not 2pm-11pm one day and 8am-5pm the next day Not 10 consecutive full hour days without a day off Just a fucking reliable work schedule where my sleeping pattern isn't fucked over every other day and I can actually plan shit

How to hell are you supposed to ride a city bike without suspension? It’s almost brand new and the back tire is crooked.

Yesterday evening I had a tabletop roleplaying session. I needed to get up fairly early this morning (around 8:00 am) due to the house cleaning getting started around 8:30. I was also extremely tired due to a tennis match I had prior to going there. On the latter subject, I basically finished the watch, went straight home to take a shower and then off I went to the friend's house for the session. It was around 1:30 am and I said to my friends that I had to go and told them the reason. Basically they shut me down in a slightly obnoxious way (you know, kinda like "Don't make up excuses" or "The issue you have is far less serious than you think). I was having fun myself, so I gave up and decided to stay. Around 2:30-2:45 am I was starting to show signs of being extremely, unbeliveably tired. My friends noticed and started to joke about it, again not in the most understanding of fashion. In particular, they joked about them having actually gone to work for that day while, you know, I didn't. Because I don't have one. At that point, be it I was half-asleep, be it I already gave into their "demands" as gracefully as I could, be it that me being currently unemployed isn't exactly doing wonders for my mental health, I let out a "Indeed, today I didn't go to work like you guys, but I had a tennis match some hours ago, I came here as fast as I could and I accepted that tomorrow morning will be just so damn wonderful 'cause I decided to stay here longer. So at the very least have some fucking empathy, if you will". Apparently the tone was very convincing or something, because we packed our things shortly after, my friends "started noticing" I was indeed very tired and one even offered to bring back home one of the posse I'd had to drive home myself in order for me to reach my bed more quickly. To get to the point of this whole rant, I've always been sick about the tendency of other people to disregard your various needs and feelings more or less callously, showing a disturbing lack of empathy, so much that they will come around only if you'll confront them badly about your current situation. Then they'll be all caring and understanding. At the very least for a little while.

The "I don't care" direction the forum's administration seems headed in. Rules changed to basically no quality standards, then the Q/A thread was deleted, and any thread questioning it just gets locked too. This used to be a fun community for me, and it got me through some really low moments in my life, but this might really be the end of my time here if this stays the norm. And I really don't want to leave. I don't really have another goto online community.

When someone has Lele Pons syndrome - no volume control whatsoever. And they speak even louder when you tell them to "sssSSHHHH!!"

what the hell Tumblr just posted a wip in my drafts that I was planning on posting when I had it a bit more complete and it wouldn't let me delete it either. it wouldn't even show me the post until like an hour later this is the shit i hate about touch screens

People that get offended if you don't like the same thing as them. A good example of this was when I was asked if I was watching the Super Bowl a while back and I was like no I'm not a huge fan of American football, but that answer wasn't good enough. Their response went along the lines of "OH YOU PROBABLY JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, THOSE WERE PROBABLY JUST BORING TEAMS, YOU SHOULD WATCH SOME OF THE BETTER GAMES". Please reassess your priorities.

Having parents that act like dorky children when they get angry.

i seriously don't think I have any skills. i'm not very smart, and I have no creativity in me. I usually just sit around playing games or watching stuff in my free time instead of working on a hobby or something. I don't even have any hobbies that i actively work on. The only one i can think of requires so much energy to perform that I just never do it.

People who talk really fast like they're in a Busta Rhymes video. I don't enjoy constantly having to go "what..?" because talking like a normal human is too hard for some people.

Maybe you don't have any skills because you don't cultivate any skills? You don't have to be smart to be good at things. Creativity is something that will come from practice, just like anything else. It seems that what you lack is motivation.

I hate how much I overthink everything. I try to sense tone through text, often poorly, so I tend to think people are angry or uninterested depending on what words they chose to use in that text. Sure, you might be able to sense something from a one-word response but I take it to the next level when I spend an hour in anguish over someone saying "I don't think so" because I read it as hostile even if their response is because I asked "Hey, is BLANK coming?".

Can I watch a single Youtube video about different cultures and history without seeing "liberals" this, "marxists" that, "keep x race pure" whatever, and of course deragoatory stuff about dark people... And it's not like I can just avoid the comments section. After watching a bunch of vintage documentaries of Japan circa 1950-70 I'm getting recommended "skeptics" and "race realists" out the wazoo. I know those types of people tend to be facinated with Japan, but the channel I watched the docs was completely innocent and educational. It gets even worse when I try to watch content about African nations.

Reddit users are so fucking bizarre, man. People get mad over the dumbest shit. Genuinely cannot tell if some crazy posters are confused children or fuckin weirdos that care way too much about benign shit that no sane person cares about. On a certain sub there's people sending artists death threats and hatemail because they'd rather have shitty memes and generic (look I got 10 kills!) gameplay clips plastered all over the popular tab instead of good art and funny comics. Then another sub has basically devolved into r/waifusim but creepier, with people arguing that "oh it's okay to unironically want to die for your waifu!" when the level headed people going "hey maybe ya'll are taking it a bit too far" are gettin fuckin drowned out by the constant flow of shitty overused memes and borderline porn just that shoots up to the top every day.

When you realize the reason why you make artwork is so it feels like people give a shit about you.

reddit is cancer

being paranoid about stupid stuff

When you mess up in a game but the saving system makes no sense so when you load back the last save, all the progress you made in the last mission is gone, yet that mission is now gone and replaced with the next mission. So you've progressed through the story, but you lose all the shit you got for doing the mission what the fuck

I'm part of a student union at my university that regularly hosts free courses for other students and I'm responsible for a large portion of the organization. What gets me fucking mad as shit is when someone volunteers to do some task, they have exactly one easy job to perform, and then they manage to fuck that up to a degree where it should be considered an art. You'd think a fucking university would have more competent people, but nope. Happens all the fucking time. And then the infuriating apathy about everything. The rest of the members constantly act like the dog in the "This is fine" comic, totally ignorant of impending disasters, which usually ends with me having to step in and fix things before they get out of hand.

Being ugly sucks, it can prevent some good things in life. And good looking people think "looks don't matter at all" when they never had to deal with anything.

My manager extended my shift three hours without checking with me after I'd already arrived to work and had been there 66% of my original shift. I had plans that relied on me being off prior to 1 PM, so those got real fucked up when I checked my schedule on my break and saw that suddenly I was working until 2 PM.

When long ass time friends are active but just stopped replying to your messages out of the blue but seem to be able to reply to anyone else all dandy fine. Fuck it I guess I'll just go back to being an introvert.

As I repeat a fucking coding, I gotta know why I need to take coding when I'm getting into the writing field of game design.

You need to understand possible technical limitations which prevent a scene you want from happening. You'll also most likely have to work with scripting tools to implement your story, so being able to identify probably causes for bugs will make the programmers' jobs easier. Writing for a game isn't just banging out a script and moving on, you'll almost certainly run into a case where a pivotal scene in the story is meant to happen on a level that has to be cut and you'll need to find a way to reimplement it into the game ASAP.
