It's a shame that so much literature is full of shitfucks who only see some books for how 'smart' they are instead of just enjoying them
Steam discovering existing files for a game only to ask me to reinstall the whole fucking thing. This is mostly me not wanting to install SoulCalibur VI's updates multiple times through several machines (6 GB... Really?)
Wasn't the first time i had this issue either. (When i first brought this up, I was trying to put Injustice 2 onto another machine, which in turn was a much bigger download than all of SCVI)
Unnamed thread #1, paraphrased:
It is unfortunate that despite all my evidence and citations and well reasoned posts I get dogpiled for merely having a right wing opinion instead of being able to have a productive discussion
Unnamed thread #2, paraphrased:
ew trans people
You can probably guess the threads and the user, and yes the examples are heavily paraphrased to suit my agenda for dramatic flair, but it's just so annoying how often you see the former attitude of "these hordes of SJWs keep shouting down my well reasoned and actually evidenced opinions" and then you look at their posts and they're just being a moron. I've seen this so many times, be it comment chains where they start out "just asking questions" then at the end are throwing racial slurs, or just being plain wrong about something and insisting the reason the other party hasn't subsumed to their ideals is because they're an arrogant evidence-less hack, or the like, that I just roll my eyes when someone complains about a "lack of quality discussion" just for "holding the wrong opinion".
The bit that pissed me off is how pervasive it is, and how easily people lap it up. Just because someone's speaking all eloquent like and lamenting over what, given their words are true and accurate(!), seems like people being completely unreasonable and block-headed and don't we all hate it when people do that? and so on, doesn't mean they themselves aren't being disingenuous or merely block-headed. It's easy to blithely nod your head and go "ah, yes, we should be rational and open to well reasoned debate, this chap certainly is being wronged" if you ignore the context and the potential context leading to their complaints, but they're not exactly going to word it in a way that makes you instead go "lmao what a piss whine baby moron" - it's a wonderful and ever so digestible platitude for the burgeoning rationalist, and precisely nothing more.
Sure, yes, you can point out that surely this can't be a one-sided phenomenon and aren't I being biased and perhaps hypocritical to specify an "anti SJW" stance for my complaints, but...in one sense, the stereotypical left-winger makes absurd points about things like economics and politics, whereas the stereotypical right-winger makes absurd points about things like minorities and the environment. The former negatively affects academics who drink themselves into oblivion reading /r/latestagecapitalism, the latter negatively affects, well, minorities. Point is, it's not shouty hate rich person McArmchair-Activist who's contributing to the shit sandwich dealt to minorities with their disingenuous bullshit, so it pisses me off seeing people hiding their cuntiness behind a veil of "woe is me, I'm just trying to make Valuable Discussion" with that context; being an arse to people then trying to make people sorry for them.
This was what I got home to on Saturday after an early shift.

To be fair I don't even know what made that a personal attack. I posted the thing on my snapchat story and my ex responded saying that blaming something on someone is a personal attack but it isn't really. It's his choice to and really he doesn't even test anything before putting updates out, if anything fucks up he just has to fix it and release it in yet another tiny update - along with that he also tries ruining the game by replacing one of the most prestigious starting weapons, the Smith Carbine, for the Yellowboy 1866 which takes 2 to 4 bullets to kill someone now depending on if you shoot in the head or not...
And yes, Rebel_Y is the sole developer for Fistful of Frags (while others contribute) except he didn't ban me, it was another guy who moderates the hub itself. Gotta give him props for the ban's expiration date being on my birthday though.
I propose a device that people with fucking awful personalities or not-so-good brains must wear at all times. I mentioned this before but I made a few changes - this device shocks the shit out of people when they do something overly douchy:
Constantly laughing at your own terrible jokes or crappy insults.
Speaking super confidently or giving "advice" about a subject you know nothing about. If all you ever did was play Solitaire on your grandma's Packard Bell, don't act like some computer expert. "Sure I know everything about PC's, especially stuff like files and folders and stuff. RAM is basically the same thing as a hard dr- BZZZZZT!!".
Starting a pointless argument with someone and then flipping it over with "duuude let it go!!"
Declaring yourself the winner of an argument even though you never made any points.
Running out of stuff to say and repeating that the other is "mad".
Cranking your music so obnoxiously loud that it shakes the asphalt up to half a mile away.
Not being smart enough to actually feel embarrassment when saying painfully stupid shit.
Laughing at yourself or "blaming" the other person when someone yells at you to stop doing something annoying. Instead of just stopping.
Asking someone for advice, but not shutting the hell up long enough to let someone explain anything because your married to your own voice.
Simply having a megaphone-volume voice.
When you're discussing not-so-public information but seem to scream it so the whole planet hears.
Badly pretending like you didn't hear someone, yet you hear someone farther away. Hmmmm...
Crying on forums why your 700MHz Windows 98 setup isn't able to run a 2018 game on max settings even though "I can t0tally run call of d00ty 4 at medium settings at a beuatfull 25fps so wats da problem?? >=[[["
Being really, really, really bad at lying but not understanding that you're bad at it.
"Are people disagreeing with me? They must be toxic trolls! That's the only explanation!"
Openly telling people "I waz trolling th3 whole time! XD" shows that you aren't a troll. Nice try. Making an attention-craving "look at me I'm so annoying hur hur" is also not trolling, it's just you making an embarrassing dick of yourself.
Thinking being annoying as fuck is the only way you can be "funny". Double shock if you try to justify it with "omg i was jus joking like lighten up!"
Being an admin/mod of something, and just using that to show off your "power" and make yourself feel good.
"Did someone say something good about themselves? I better find a way to 1-up that!"
Feeling the need to mention what you have that others don't have.
Feeling the need to talk about many women you been with. Thanks, that info is important to us.
Attempting to remove the device just exponentially increased the shock.
You can find them at Walmart starting at $40. $70 if it has funky animal designs.
Those last to before removing the device reminds me of someone I used to be friends with, who'd probably be dead in a week from electrocution from one of those things.
He always told me, "Hey, if something's bothering you or you need to vent, just talk to me" and for a while it was fine, but all of the sudden one day he'd start just blatantly ignoring what I was saying and then replying with "Well I'm in a good position right now, I have this and that and all this great stuff going for me blah blah my life is awesome" and it's like... What? Huh? How is this blatant bragging going to help me feel better about this household's frequent depressing financial struggles?? What the fuck is the point!?
As it turned out the guy was a psychopath who liked to get close to people with a fake friendly guise only to just subtly torment them later and fuck up friend circles with made-up drama for the fun of it, so... Welp. I caught on fast enough that he didn't get to manipulate me. Some of my friends weren't so lucky...
I've known a lot of interesting people.
Soo this guy made trashed friend circles just for the sake of doing it? I almost don't believe that.
There are several people in my dorm who walk around barefoot and it makes me irrationally angry. It's gross, lazy, and shows utter indifference towards standard hygienic and social norms.
they probably just don't know how to or cant use photoshop and similar programs, or they dont even have a good eye for whatever makes stuff look good? and they wont improve on those things at all if theyre faced with your kind of attitude from whatever community they submit content to, basically all incredibly good artists made 'horrible' or not good stuff when they started out. if you want someone to make good art, help them out if youre able to, be perhaps a little harsh about specific 'bad' things while telling them how they can improve those things. being actively upset about it kinda sounds unhealthy
regardless of that, they're just expressing themselves? i know how you feel, i some times see art thats 'bad' in surprisingly weird ways but people who make 'bad' art are usually trying their best
People that complain about non-issues that could be fixed very easily (By just simply not giving a fuck).
Sure, there are things out there in the world we can all agree sucks, like stupid fucking drivers for instance.
But, as a matter of principle: Not everything is equally relatable such as Irene in accounting, who won't shut the fuck up about gender politics and her 'pay gap'.
To even explain the pure hated of non-issues and snowflakes, I've even invented a hypothetical person in accounting named Irene... Fuck.
Fuck you Irene.
people who wear shoes inside their home/dorm/apartment make me mad
James Corden
How can anyone fucking stand him?
Uh... yes.
Lost my job a while back.
Nothing I did wrong, so they say. Just "we have too many people".
After months of fretting and freaking out that I wasn't cut out for the job, only to start improving enough that I was making bonuses towards the end of it, finally getting some confidence in myself, but "no too many people lol".
FFS, they had 5 of us in our training class, plus another 8-9 in the one after us, and suddenly it's MY problem that they have too many people?
They said productivity was down, they were sending people home and stuff. But the thing is, to be sent home, you have to request early release. Not my fucking problem that other people don't want to work, because I fucking stayed, and I was busy.
"But you're eligible for re-hire!"
So you can turn around and burn me like this again? No thanks. Your job application is absolute ass anyway.
I've probably complained about this before, but people keep doing it, so it still pisses me off.
Whenever i do literally anything and people just respond with a "I don't understand why you do X." and then either try and get me to either do something or stop doing something, as if they can't comprehend personal taste or the fact that some people like/do things differently.
Them: "Bring over your hard drive."
Me: "I don't want to move it around too much. I don't want to lose a bunch of data."
Them: "Nah, c'mon, just do it."
Me: "How about i don't."
Them: "Quit being so difficult."
I think I'm one step away from just being verbally abusive to these people. Like, fuck off. If i don't want to do something, i don't have to do it. Quit being a cunt.
I know it's hard to believe but there are some seriously fucked up people out there.
He'd worm his way into existing friend circles and then destroy them from the inside out by manipulating people because he had, probably a fetish, for other people's suffering and anguish.
He had this way about him when he acted friendly and caring, just in such a way to extract whatever he needed out of individual to stir up drama and drive wedges in friendships, acting all "Oh poor you, come here, I'll be a better friend, we'll get you away from these people..." only to just isolate them and target their weaknesses and insecurities, digging right into them just to bring that person down more just to feed off of their sadness and suffering.
Seriously. Dude wrote mountains of really creepy stories that were basically nothing but intense protagonist suffering and torture with a bitter awful end every time. We knew he did because he'd willingly shove them in peoples' faces and acted concerningly attached to them. Didn't think anything of it at the time, because, well, really strange hobbies are kinda common and who are we to judge, til we started putting two and two together and discovered from other people who were once friends with him that he took it way further than just writing fiction.
Bought a new PS4 pro a month or two ago. Get home tonight and the HDMI port appears to have shit the bed. gg
Someone at work is stealing my clorox wipes.
I had to tell this grown ass woman, this 40 year old woman, this fucking woman with 3 kids... to cover her mouth when she coughs and sneezes. Oh and guess what she still won’t do it. My desk is right next to her at work. Fucking kill me- oh wait, she’ll probably do that first.
People who wear shoes on beds makes me go wtf
Maybe it's a cultural thing but here we have house shoes people wear indoors. They are not regular shoes you use outside, you change into them when you come inside.
Are they proper shoes or are they more like slippers?
My classmates decided to do a Secret Santa thing this year and I got one of my the few people in my class that regularly uses Steam. He found out that I was his Secret Santa and told me to just pick something from his wishlist. I thought it would be child's play until I actually looked at his wishlist...
https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/242546/cb91b5e3-42e9-4661-b556-7d9e183e3bed/image.png
The only two games he has on his wishlist. Yeah no, fuck off.
They're not exactly slippers, more like soft-soled shoes. I know some people just use regular shoes as house shoes though.
Update on the Secret Santa thing: The guy keeps messagin- no, SPAMMING me on Steam, asking me when I am buying GTA V for him...
We are giving our gifts next week.
Gift him Bad Rats.
Is Final Fantasy Tactics just a really hard game or am I doing something horribly wrong?
I keep restarting one of the early fights over and over where I'm just getting dumpstered on by random monsters.
I'm not giving up on it because I want to be good at this game but man it's totally unforgiving and it's pissing me off.
No, gift him Seed of the Dead.
I'm legit sick of people sending me "URGENT!!!" emails at my part-time job. Every single fucking time it's something I have ample time to fix but oh no, having one out of 5 installed printers break is such an irreparable destruction of workflow, you can't even ask your colleagues if you can use theirs. Part of me feels it's unfair to be this agitated about it because they're not particularly tech-literate people anyway but I mean, you could at least have the foresight that I take it seriously when you write "URGENT" or "HELP", even if you just inadvertently turned off your laptop's WiFi, which takes literally 5 seconds to fix. Or, I dunno, maybe just put a normal title like "x doesn't work" instead of emotionally-charged bullshit!
Reminds me of my late job.
"ZOMG THERE'S AN ORDER STUCK ON THE SCREEN OH NOSES WHAT DO WE DO IT'S BEEN ON THERE FOR FIVE MINUTES!!!"
Worst part is that 89% of the time, this would happen after you told them specifically that a certain troubleshooting step might cause orders to get stuck and they should automatically serve off within 20-30 minutes.
Or that time we got a call of some guy freaking out because the office computer said "Windows needs to restart to apply updates".
...So restart it, dude.
Seeing someone buying a 1$ humble bundle for a secret santa while he recieve something from someone that put their heart into his SS make me feel sad.
