This annoys me too. There's nothing toxic about Taco Bell, you just don't eat fiber and your body freaks out when it finally gets some.

A seemingly normal co-worker described this Wayfair pedophile ring. I thought he was joking so I went along with it and asked how returns worked, or how to prepare them for shipping. He wasn't joking.

its hilarious how common this is lol
Anyway I’m easy going so there are only three things I strongly dislike: people who force laugh at nearly everything, all the time, they laugh as if its a punctuation to what they’re saying. Makes me want to slowly pull out my eyeballs with bbq pincers.
People who speak from their nose, who have a lisp, the nasal lispy north american voice, idk if you guys can visualise what I mean.
And finally people who can’t shut up for more than a minute, small talk sucks and I don’t like it, I get to the point and then I stop, period. the worst is when they constantly try get you to participate and you feel forced to join so you dont look like a jerk. painful.

Katana people.
"I'm smart because I watched a foreign movie/show with subtitles". I've been watching foreign shit since the 80s and both me and the movies are dumb as shit and congrats on reading along to a cartoon made for 12 year olds.

Actually, connecting your identity to any kind of consumption rather than participatory/creative practice is shallow. And even then, connecting your identity to almost anything is weird the more I think about it.
We probably shouldn’t limit our selves by such narrow parameters.

People who humble brag about owning land when they bought it before the pandemic and act like anyone can just buy a house if you work hard enough in 2023
People who pay $200USD for blundstones
People who work from home
I don't actually think less of anyone who work from home because i would do it too if i had the ability but i think it's important to be aware of how remote work is part of the reason rents are getting so high in any nice rural town and that's why rural people are getting priced out of the areas they grew up in.
-
People who constantly talk about their salary, etc. Or people who want you to feel bad because you do/did well. I have a couple folks in my inner circle who made me feel bad for having a joint income as I’m married & my wife has a good job, etc; sort of eluded to me not having to struggle, etc. I guess Jealousy is what comes to mind.
Another one is when someone constantly talks about people they know that are in the industry, pros or music scenes, blah blah blah.

people who deny science
people who condemn politics and/or economics across the board
maybe i worded it poorly.
what i meant was besides it is always ok (and much appreciated) to criticize everything, it is not acceptable to just deny for example scientific evidence by saying 'yeah i don't believe that', 'it's paid for by whoever' etc. scientific evidence is based on thorough studies following rigid methods, oftentimes (clinical) testing and surviving a harsh publication process and you just hear about one finding and deny it - come on... that's a bit little. same for politics: you can't just say politics suck, and not being able to explain what does suck (and there is plenty obviously), and maybe offer alternatives that may suck less. just saying i don't believe that xy, politics sucks, economic processes are a scam is a little bit too less for talking about our society's complex things
maybe it can be reformulated in:
people who voice uninformed opinions on everything eventhough they don't have any idea about the topic at hand at all

People who say ‘last try‘ but then continue trying after missing.
People who say ‘one more try’ after ‘last try’ and still miss the trick, but keep trying.
That was a lot of words when you could have just said "skaters".
People over the age of 21 who "don't care about politics"
Anyone described as "kind of a dick at first but great once you get to know them". Nah, I'll pass
Anyone who grabs frozen/refrigerated food at the store, decides they don't want it, and leave it on a shelf in the fucking bread aisle.
Non-handicap people parking in handicap parking spaces.
Tailgaters.

This is a good one. Can’t tell you how many people I know over 30 that are like this. It’s always either because they are too stupid to understand what’s going on or they are just trying to be cool.

People that:
Say they are going to do something, then do not do it.
Brag. Subtle or straight up bragging.
Speed through parking lots or neighborhoods

basically anything that Ian mackaye started or formed from original dc emo, straight edge, math rock, Midwest, to mod sun, blink182, lil uzi vert I’m starting to hate plain hxc again. I hate the actual music, I’ve tried so many times. I’m not tryna sound like a tough guy or whatever but it almost disgusts me that licks, riffs, and vocals so weak came from the same scene as S.O.A, Government Issue, and Bad Brains.

When someone;
- Does not like children (by which i don't mean people who don't want to have children themselves, or people who on occassion find whining, nagging or unreasonable behaviour by kids annoying, but people that genuinely find nothing cute, funny or heartwarming at all about toddlers and preschoolers)
- Likes cats, specifically because of their 'disinterested', 'independent' vibe and air of superiority
- Thinks Cristiano Ronaldo is/was better than Messi, or is/was his equal
- Uses 'should of'/'could of'/'would of', instead of 'should have'/'could have'/'would have'
- Uses 'I could care less' to convey the message that they don't care at all
-
Those stupid wings chest tattoos that everyone has.

When people say “outside of work, he’s a good bloke” meaning that he gets to just be an asshole all day while working and gets a pass for that.
Agree 100% with adults eating like little kids. Grow the fuck up and eat vegetables or have a little spice to your meal you clown.
People that are disrespectful to the elderly.

If I'm at someone's house and they offer me a coke but give me a coke Zero (or Pepsi Max etc) like just get proper coke you baby.
Or weirdly the opposite if they only have regular ketchup. Obvs everyone should have reg ketchup in the cupboard but you can get spicy ketchup, bbq, spicy bbq etc all for the same price literally right next to the ketchup in the shops.
All my things have been trivial shit I don't actually care much about but a huge one for me is "I didn't give my kids swimming lessons, I just pushed them into the pool, they'll figure it out". Seriously fuck these people. Teaching kids to swim already takes next to no effort at all and can be done without traumatizing a child. It won't make your kid tough it just lets them know their dad is scared to take their shirt off in public.

yes! Glad I’m not alone. While I don’t mind a mixtape here and there, listening to an album on random for example also absolutely does my head in!

Most of mine have been listed but people that go to the bar (especially when it's busy) and order one drink each when in a group. Like just buy a round. Even worse is when they wait in a que and when it's their turn don't know what the wanna drink.
Don't even get me started when it's a girl and she has to tell her bf what she wants and get him to order instead of just fucking talking to the barman in front of you....
Also cunts who don't carry even €10 in cash. Then act like the world is gonna end because it's €8 min for a card and they ordered a €1 coffee.
Also cunts who stand in front of the telly when it's bleedin obvious that people are trying to watch it.
Also people who vape.

I hate it when a song from an album I'm strongly acquainted with plays on a random playlist.
Like, I was at a party last weekend and the song Soundsystem by Operation Ivy comes on, when it ends I've already got my armed raised to air guitar along with the intro to Jaded...but then a City Morgue song comes on.

How about that one bloke in the round that has to have a different beer to literally everyone else. ::)

I basically agree with everything posted/stated in this thread. Well done, y'all.

I think everyone will agree with this one. People who are constantly posting selfies or finding ways to get their face on social media.

If I'm at someone's house and they offer me a coke but give me a coke Zero (or Pepsi Max etc) like just get proper coke you baby.
Or weirdly the opposite if they only have regular ketchup. Obvs everyone should have reg ketchup in the cupboard but you can get spicy ketchup, bbq, spicy bbq etc all for the same price literally right next to the ketchup in the shops.
All my things have been trivial shit I don't actually care much about but a huge one for me is "I didn't give my kids swimming lessons, I just pushed them into the pool, they'll figure it out". Seriously fuck these people. Teaching kids to swim already takes next to no effort at all and can be done without traumatizing a child. It won't make your kid tough it just lets them know their dad is scared to take their shirt off in public.
I guess you don't have kids.....It does take effort.
Totally agree it's one of your duties as a parent to teach your kids to swim though.
It's been alluded to, but this is the main one for me: people who don't vote. Even worse if they don't vote and then complain/protest about politics.

I’ve been seeing people on Instagram complain about people saying quarter to six / quarter past five etc if you have to even consciously think about what time it is when I say that you’re a fuckin mental midget

I meant it takes no more effort to just do it normally over the dumb way of pushing the kid into the pool before they're ready. No kids yes but I have been involved in relatives swimming lessons it mostly involves standing in a pool.
On top of all this in Aus swimming lessons are basically built into the culture. Even if you have zero time or can't swim yourself it's literally done thru school so bragging about not getting your kid swimming lessons is extra fukn stupid.

Mismatched brands on outfits like wearing an adidas shirt with some Nike shoes. WTF is up with that?
I'm guiltily of this sometimes..only because of football tops and I pretty much only wear dunks now. Would never rock Adidas pants with dunks thou or shit like that thou. Also would never wear a Film Trucks shirt when skating a set-up with Thunders etc.
I think its even worse when dudes wear Nike socks with Adidas shoes and so on, fuck it drives me insane. Even non skaters that do this drive me insane.

Whenever people say certain foods make them shit. “Oh every time I eat Taco Bell I have diarrhea” grow up, eat your food and take a normal shit at a regular interval
Allergic to pollen? You’re incapacitated due to trees? You can’t go outside during spring without sneezing? Your bloodline is weak
Kind of niche but if you are afraid of getting stuck in an elevator or you freak out when you get stuck in one you gotta grow the fuck up

Agreed. It's just antisocial behavior, and you never know when you're going to get fucked up and need someone to help you out. All you need to do is give people the bare minimum amount of friendliness and they're much more likely to help you out if you need it.

If I forget my water bottle when I'm going skating I'll 100% buy a can of liquid death over some water that's been sitting in a plastic bottle (probably in the sun) for an unknown amount of time.

Entered this thread to see how many hate lists I’d find myself on and was not disappointed. First post made me think it was a reanimated thread from 2006 though.
Actually, connecting your identity to any kind of consumption rather than participatory/creative practice is shallow. And even then, connecting your identity to almost anything is weird the more I think about it.
We probably shouldn’t limit our selves by such narrow parameters.
This has sort of been my take. Having been in China so long there’s just so many of my German categories and stereotypes that obviously don’t make sense here, so that the judgments I used to make have sort of just faded away -including about myself, which is actually very relaxing.
People who litter, especially in a natural environment, still get my goat though.

Venmo isn't a thing where I'm from, you have to get bank details and do a transfer which is way too much of an ordeal for a tip situation. I just don't understand why people can't drop by an ATM once a week? Obviously if you are really young or poor you are exempt from judgement. It's also the smugness of their declaration like they are some kind of pioneer!

People who never bring water when they skate and bum off me. Mistakes happen, but I don't leave the house without a 64 oz thermos. It's 90+ and humid every day here in the summer and I take medication that dehydrates me. If I forget water, I immediately leave and go buy a gallon at the gas station.
I bought an insulated 64 oz bottle to bring skating and I've had multiple instances of someone asking for a sip and they end up chugging half the bottle. I swear one of them has been saying "man, I gotta get my own water bottle" for over two years. Infuriating baby brain behavior.
My local has a water fountain it's great as I hate carrying stuff around when I skate. It's in the shade and the water is cold great for two handed showers.

Skaters who show up to the park in non-skate shoes and no board like they're too cool to skate and they just sit there the whole sesh. Turbo hipster shit. No one thinks you're cool because you've chosen not to skate and you're wearing hiking boots instead

Sorry I wouldn't be exciting to eat out with, I guess? When I share a meal/table with someone I rarely think twice about what they ordered cause who cares? I hope you enjoy it, but what someone else orders has minimal effect on how I think (obviously there's a line between asking for what you'd like and being an annoying asshole)
I'm usually down to eat out and try different stuff, but I'm probably not if you're gonna nitpick my order and think less of me AS A PERSON? Seems like making a mountain of a molehill, huh?

My housemate doesn't brush their teeth because of "good genes". I definitely think less of them since I noticed.
Is the good genes just a bullshit line or do they have a decent looking set?
Sugar is also their main vice and their teeth are brown and stained as all hell. I'm curious to have a deeper look at their plaque build up. Honestly I think they have a dentist phobia.

^ one drink in the morning somehow ruins a whole day? It's supposed to be things other people do to make you think less of them not wierd shit about yourself that makes everyone think less of you...(some level of joking there)
I don't care what you drink but if you're late because you were fucking around getting a coffee, complain about how they fucked up your coffee or aren't working while other people are because you're drinking your coffee I will think less of you. (This doesn't apply to many jobs. Just say there's 3 people loading a truck while ones just watching while drinking their coffee type scenario)
People who use bidets but act like it's everyone else who's got the problem. "So you've just got shit on your ass?" "People don't know how to clean themselves properly" no it's a unique problem that you specifically have. Everyone else can take a shit, wipe their ass and be fine it's just you that needed to install a hose on your toilet because you're constantly shitting yourself and don't know how to deal with it.

The point was about it being said by Australians but I guess you don't wanna read a whole sentence. Imagine people from your area, speaking in your local accent but then just throwing in one wierd pronunciation because they've listened to too many podcasts or whatever. and if we're bringing up dumb shit comedians say we can all be here all fucking day.

Slap is going to pile on you hard for this yet like 50% of skaters I know did not get vaccinated for COVID so I don't think the opinions of most people here reflect the general skate population on this issue.
But... yeah. Although I do feel for the people who were supporting their family and couldn't afford to lose their job so they had to get vaccinated even if they didn't want to take it.

Honestly just about every married couple I know are fucking miserable, especially the ones with kids. People are fucked, they use marriage and kids as relationship band-aids which always backfires. Also these are the same dudes that refer to their partner as “the wife” or “wifey”….how hard is it to say “later dudes, gonna roll home, Samantha is making tacos for the fam tonight” instead of “i gotta bail, hall pass is expired, the wife needs me to go do some shit”

Some people are fucking greasy when it comes to playing skate. Especially those dudes who do the unpopped 3 shuv and bigspin variations. I had one guy get salty because I kept asking him to redo his tricks and actually pop them.
I shouldn't have to lower my standards because no one has taken the time to call you out on it

Dudes that are married or in a serious relationship that are constantly perving on and/or talking about how hot every other chick is when they are around the boys. Like, why the fuck did you get married then asshole? Got a bunch of dudes that I know that are like this and it really bothers me, because I’m super serious about being respectful to my partner and trying to have the most healthy relationship I can. Honestly just about every married couple I know are fucking miserable, especially the ones with kids. People are fucked, they use marriage and kids as relationship band-aids which always backfires. Also these are the same dudes that refer to their partner as “the wife” or “wifey”….how hard is it to say “later dudes, gonna roll home, Samantha is making tacos for the fam tonight” instead of “i gotta bail, hall pass is expired, the wife needs me to go do some shit”
Great call man. I've been married 4 years, and have a 10 month old and am absolutely head over heals for my wife and family. No, and I mean NO other female could convince me otherwise.
i've got homies that are in shit relationships (usually due to their own lack of commitment) and married buddies that always say "well what if" bullshit. Happiness can be hard to find, but keep searching homies, it's out there, if you want it

some girl told me that she wanted to be a trophy wife when she grows up.
Another one told me she doesn't want to work so she just keeps getting higher and higher degrees. She's getting masters in finance at a decent university too, like wtf u can actually get well paid doing that.
I thought both of them were cute when I first met them but after I have absolutely no interest.

Ive got a old, old buddy who married a gal, um what, like 13 years younger than he is. I think he is 39 she is 27, so 12 years, but he is like this. when i visit, he starts talking about the “old days” and different girls he supposedly hooked up with, and his wife is right there. Dude will also start talking about women we see in public and his wife will be just a few feet away. This past visit i said “dude, cut this shit out, man. (Your wife) is right there, motherfucker. Making her feel bad and shit. She doesn’t wanna hear this bullshit.” I said to her “you tell this fool to shut the fuck up sometimes cuz he is full of shit.”
And ya, the whole idea of “happy wife, happy life” or “hall pass” is such an undercurrent of soft misogyny. I had to lay it down on my BIL a while back, like “dude. You married my sisters. That shits not cool man.” He actually listened and seems to be making strides.

When people do weird shit with their arms while jogging
My arms turn into snakes and attack me, that's actually why I'm jogging; I'm trying to get away from them.
A part of me knows I can't run from them, I mean, they're attached to me, but I just don't know what else to do, ya know?

It was (like normal) a traffic jam here. There is zero wind if your in bumper to bumper traffic. You'd be lucky to hit 30km/h.

for me its things that inconvenience others. somebody mentioned "sitting directly behind me in a movie theater" which is a good example. others i was thinking of:
- parking directly behind my driveway every single day and not parking in your driveway because you don't want to kill the "ribbon" of grass that you chose to have in a driveway(?). not pulling up 5 feet. making it a pain in the ass for myself and anyone else who visits my house because you can't be considerate.
- driving fast in the neighborhood.
for me, i dont mind if people do weird shit like jeans and sandals or tucking a t shirt into jeans or not listening to an album fully. i dont care. we are all extremely weird in our own ways. its when you inconvenience others or just dont consider anyone but yourself.

People who wear (anything even slightly related to) bape clothing

I was actually going to post something similar. People who's laziness affects other people. Guests who have to park in the apartment parking lot and block/make it a pain in the ass for everyone else to exit because you couldn't walk half a block from the street.
People who drive to the gas station two blocks from their house.
Using paper plates and plastic forks to eat supper. Buying new socks instead of doing laundry.
People who speed excessively in town. I had someone today weaving in and out of traffic hauling ass 20+ over the speed limit so they could get to the same stoplight 10 seconds quicker.

If my brother was talking this way in front of my sister in law I'd be pissed/ peeved too. "happy wife happy life," is a form of toxic compromise in which the man of the relationship is expected to bend over backward to do whatever his wife wants while neglecting his own needs. While i've never been married, I have had experience in relationships in which my SO wanted to take on this dynamic. Not happening.... I've also had friends who get stuck in this type of relationship dynamic. it only leads to resentment.
In Asia we've modified it to "happy spouse, happy house(hold)"
When people refuse to respect someone's choice in being sober. Forgetting and accidentally offering a beer is one thing, but to put pressure on someone after they've said "no" is the quickest way for me to no longer respect you.
I'll add on - people whose sole idea of a good time is getting frat boy drunk and their only conversation topic is how reliving memories of past drinking escapades. I'm not sober or straight edge but my older brother used to do this shit all the time. I can't drink as much as he can, I get super sleepy after too many drinks and I don't want to start my week with a pounding hangover.
I enjoy the occasional night with lots of beers with friends, but we're in our late 30s, leave the frat boy nights for nostalgia trips and enjoy the company and conversation.

i dont think about people at all, let alone gauge how much i like them. if we're friends its cause i accept u despite maybe doing things i wouldnt do. if we arent friends i do not think or feel about you whatsoever

totally this.
but also dudes, who are greeting each other with an arm-wrestle handshake. All other form of greeting is fine with me – shaking hands, fist bumps, hugging, nodding, whatever, but that alpha male jock shit, is an instant turn-off.
people who are texting while driving – no matter if it is a car, a bike an e-scooter or whatever.

Lately it is people walking around staring at their phone oblivious that they are in the way or about to walk in to someone.

When you think you're having a conversation then someone is distracted by useless notifications on their phone and zones out. I was starting to get over the group hang outs because of this and now it's happening more one on one. Maybe I'm old school, but I don't like wasting my voice and time if people aren't present.

One I have seen recently is a spoiled daddys boy whos in his late 30s now, handed daddys successful company a few years ago, and spouts off on social media that you don’t need a college degree to make it in the world. While I do agree, he forgets to add that all you really need is a rich dad to hand you shit. Lots of posts about his fancy cars and houses, but I know he is miserable, his kids do questionable things, and his marriage is failing.
Fakebook, baby!

It's rough trying to explain to people over 60 that the days when you could stumble into an office building, slam your middle school diploma on the owners desk, he admires your can-do attitude and gives you a job in the mailroom, and with a lil good ol' fashioned moxie and grit, you can work your way up to CEO in 5 years...yeah that's not a thing anymore.
More and more I'm seeing places that outright refuse to promote anyone and hire all management from outside.
God help you if you don't have a degree, you can spend a decade learning to run every aspect of the business single-handedly and have it run like a swiss watch, the second a management position opens you're training a 22 year old with an Associates in Art History how to be your boss...

I have pretty severe ADHD, so people who don't get to the point when they talk. Other things that waste time in coversation like potty humor gets old fast. Bad example but things like, "Ya, that shit sucks" "Haha you would suck on shit!". A lot of "humor" similar to this too. Like turning every little thing into something sexual. Like who on earth is laughing at this shit? Anyone dropping "that's what she said" jokes in 2023 should be put in some sort of prison.
Things like that are why I like Slap. There's genuinely hilarious shit on here. The top rated reddit comment is almost always a painfully unfunny joke in the manner described above.

Interesting you refer to it as potty humor, I'd say a great deal of the times I say "shit" I'm not thinking of (or really referencing) actual, literal shit.
Like, if something bad happens and I say "man, this shit sucks" it's not supposed to be funny or potty humor, it's just cursing for emphasis.

Trick tips are a delicate dance, and it can get extra tricky for us older guys because there are quite a few tricks that I can't really do anymore for any number of reasons (mobility issues, too scared etc) but I still understand the mechanics of how to do them and can see when someone is doing them wrong.
Having said that, I don't offer tips unless asked for them.
Obviously there's a little more wiggle room if it's a personal friend or acquaintance, but even then I'll usually phrase it like "have you ever tried putting your foot here when you try those? That helps me do them sometimes".
From that point, whether they try out your advice or not, you shut up.

This is petty as fuck and I actually don't think less of people for it, but it just annoys me because I hate anything that brings attention to myself. But when people lock their car doors and press it twice so their car honks to make sure it locks, it annoys the hell out of me. Just press it once, watch your car to see the lights blink, and no one gets to hear your loud car honk.

From that point, whether they try out your advice or not, you shut up.
Was at the local park yesterday and saw some older ladies (greys and were clearly old Betty’s back in the day) however they seemed to struggle to keep speed on a 4’ 6’ bowl so I waited patiently and asked meekly like can I offer a secret? I explained pumping around the bowl and when to do it to create speed.
These golden gals were skating the bowl like a halfpipe mind you I wouldn’t normally do this however I saw them talking to themselves about to to get more speed, I showed them and bounced out of their session, I believe if you can offer help do so with awareness and get out of their way afterwards like hey there here’s something I learned maybe it’ll help.

Trick tips are a delicate dance, and it can get extra tricky for us older guys because there are quite a few tricks that I can't really do anymore for any number of reasons (mobility issues, too scared etc) but I still understand the mechanics of how to do them and can see when someone is doing them wrong.

I feel like there's a difference between a trick tip and explaining an entire technique. I also fall into the aging skater who can't really physically do all the tricks but knows how to do them and I'll pretty much just absolutely never tell anyone how to do stuff but if it's something like explaining that somebody is anti pumping/anti popping because they literally don't know how to skate a park I think there's more wiggle room. (Altho personally I probably still won't say anything even if it's annoying me lol)

The top rated reddit comment is almost always a painfully unfunny joke in the manner described above.
Reddit is the fucking worst for it. Anything on the front page it's like a race to make the most tired overused dad humour joke that everyone's heard 1000 times already. Like, there's an interesting discussion to be had here, shut the fuck up please. 3 days until Apollo shuts down due to this 3rd party fiasco. Really hoping I can use that as the motivator to stop wasting 4 hours a day on that place.

Example: the other day my Zoomer cousin and so were on Netflix and the Obama/Letterman title came on screen as we were scrolling. She immediately said "Obama is a war criminal fuck him" for whatever reason. The only purpose is to start an argument.

I’m sure it’s everywhere. In every generation. Every idiot and his grandma nowadays think that the own the truth. This was probably always that way, but since nearly 20 years now they all spend their online lives in a bubble curated by an algorithm that either supports their view of things or shows them the opposite. They all have their audience now. And they all learned that hot takes generate the most traffic.
That’s why I still like forums that much. No algorithm , more discourse, more people with different opinions ready to voice them.

People who talk/post a lot about getting old. "Getting old is being excited about getting new rugs" Or other random anecdotes about how you're less fun, body hurts, or don't have energy. The algorithm hit me with a few reels about this today, bleh.
This is purely about people trying to be funny. If it's talking about yoga or some shit to take care of your body I endorse that.

this is a great one. the talking points one is especially annoying to me. if your just regurgitating some party or networks talking points, why bother. i'd probably go one step further and say people who proudly identify politically: "republican", "democrat", "conservative", "liberal", etc. what would happen if you moved to a different country, would you have to learn about the local political systems before you could form an opinion on anything?

This I don’t live in the US I only have second hand experience through various forms of media (social media, news, etc), how narrow minded the political landscape has become. But judging from my experience here in Germany, I don’t think it is that different, since most of us all get our daily dose of tv and social media. The names are just different.
Sure - in the grand scheme of things, your own political stance is important, but it baffles me nearly everyday, how much compassion, respect and empathy so many people are lacking.
-
I'm not sure it's even about politics, but about feeling important and being the center of conversation. It's likely gotten worse since it's narcissistic in nature and social media just feeds off narcissism.
With this particular relative they always have to been some sort of center or controversy. I don't want to even begin to detail all of their various phases in the last 2 years, but I'm describing isn't so much as "hey these are my politics I'm passionate about" and more like "wow I love feeling the passion of controversy and rage and am addicted to stirring the pot".

I believe because political discourse has become entertainment we are only getting extreme opinions in the media. I don’t think people have changed that much but because the media rewards extreme political views we are bombarded with language that makes it sound like all our systems are broken. We’ve always been fucked. Overall our society is more tolerant than ever.

crocks + socks: The worst of the worst. People who have no problem dressing like clowns, as long as their fashion overlords tell them its ok to do so.

Lol I was exaggerating for comical effect, obvs there's a ton of very good foreign films and shows I just meant in general seems like a lot of people think they're smart because they watched something with subs even tho it can be a show that's dumb anyway. A Japanese person probably wouldn't have an ego about watching Jurassic Park or something with English subs.
Not sure what I meant by katana people lol I think like the dorks who hand out in that weird shop in the mall with all the weapons and wizard statues and shit. Or maybe people who thinks katanas are magic like in the walking dead. Who knows, I'm dumb.

Totally agree. It puzzles me (it actually should not, but it still does) how many people do this.

Also people that post their own post on their story with captions like "go show this some love". I guess it's just the modern equivalent of begging for pic comments on Myspace but I would've thought people's social media boundaries would've matured a bit in that sense by now. Also the few people that I see do it on my feed are adults which makes it even worse.

I was checking out the new Asus gaming handheld in store a few weeks back and 2 guys were testing out the device, completely oblivious to the 2 guys waiting in line behind them. They went full YT commentary channel on the device, talking about the graphics, processor, gaming performance, ran Excel on it and even talked about how porn would look on it for 10 minutes straight before the shop assistant told them to let others have a go.

People who talk too much during a skate sesh. Yeah, we can talk and hang out on the spot, but not when I'm clearly in the middle of a battle and I got the angry skater gaze locked in on the obstacle. This one idiot is always starting a sentence when I'm just about to throw down, fucks me up every time.
My friend recently came to my city to skate and hang out, I let him crash at my place for 4 nights. He gave me a pack of cigarettes as a gift, and when his own pack ran out, he demanded that I give him my second to last one, because "its his pack after all". If you GIVE someone something, it is not YOURS anymore. Same fucker owes me 100€ and some weed.

I love blink 182 but I totally get what you mean. People who jumped on the Turnstile bandwagon after Glow On came out are fine. What did you expect? It's a good record. When a good record comes out people get excited about it and then *hopefully* get into their entire catalogue.
It’s all garbage.

it's not garbage you just don't like it and that's fine

People who say "butthurt"
Especially if they say it a lot.

People who have strong opinions about obviously subjective things.
Like for example „the color blue is ugly“. No dude, that’s just like your opinion man. Who tf cares… chill you stupid tyrant

I wish I saw more Datsun’s on the road.
The 240 SX was also one of my favorite cars.
If you’ve had the misfortune of encountering an Altima driver in the wild, you’ll know what I’m getting at.

It's not a popular car in my area (norcal), you can actually get used toyota hybrids and civics at a better cost than an altima. but when I was in the south...saw them everywhere

People who participate in technology consumption as identity: apple vs pc, iOS vs android, Xbox vs PlayStation vs pc, etc
And people who are deathly afraid to be wrong, and overcompensate with undeserved confidence when they talk.
These people never grow. They stay stunted and are truly the least ‘Facts don’t care about your feelings’ people ever.
These kind of people also rarely apologize for anything as well.

I've had two of them in my life and I desperately wish I hadn't sold them.
Especially considering I could probably get 5x the price I sold them for if I sold them today.

i'm currently guilty of being an apple fanboy but i had a traumatic experience that caused me to get a macbook years back and the ecosystem is so sticky so as a family we are all in these days.
i don't hate on people who don't use apple products though but i do encounter people with andriod phones explaining how much more horse power and better this and that is on their android phone. for me it's like... will my macbook know it's there and just figure out how to show me the messages and will my airpods just connect seamlessly? then i'm good

I had a buddy once try to convince me to buy a PC instead of Macbook, he's basically like "just buy this tower, this graphics card, this sound card, install this anti-virus, install this malware remover and run it about once a week, buy this, buy that, and in the end it'll save you like $500!" I'm like dude I'll pay the extra $500 to not have to do all that shit. Also I'm in graphic design and just prefer the Mac OS and working on Macs anyways.
Either way, I think it's because being into PCs is a serious hobby in and of itself.
Maybe even a lifestyle, shit I dunno lotta folks are really, really fuckin' into it.
Nowadays Apple seems to appeal more to people who are like "I don't want to have to modify or maintain this thing, I just want something that works and I'll pay extra for it."

As a graphic designer myself I absolutely prefer working on Mac. I used to be the designer for Alienware and their web team would work on both platforms but I had to work on their PC, which wasn't ideal. Fortunately my previous job was pc based as well. I just never liked having to lear keyboard shortcuts for pc when I already knew all the mac ones. But for your last point, I think it's always been that way. Mac has always been a contained unit it seems.
unrelated note: I can def see the Altima hate. I've had that opinion for a long time. But I really like other Nissans through time, so I don't really have the same opinion of the brand...just the altima. It's the most worrisome car to see in your rearview because you know they're just going to be changing lanes at rapid pace within inches of other cars. It's rare to see an altima not covered in battle scars from their various repeated hit and runs.

agreed on your points. apple to pc/andriod like this to me
apple
- more expensive
- less configurations and maintenance
- less flexible (this used to be a major problem for me)
- lower maintenance
- more cohesive ecosystem with low configuration (my apple tv just knows i'm going to want to use my airpods)
- luxury brand/accessory
- not good for games
pc/android
- more affordable
- more flexible
- higher maintenance
- utilitarian/practical (not a luxury thing)
- great for gaming
- disjointed, high maintenance ecosystem
i'm not going to judge anyone based on this but i do a lot of business networking these days and i've noticed trends. entrepreneurs, startup crowd tend to have iphones while corp executives/conservative company executives tend to favor andriod. so at a networking event i might make some assumptions based on your phone.

Off topic about the Mac vs Windows shite but SOLIDWORKS doesn't work with apple and not sure of any other CAD software that does.
I just buy a cheap phone and let work give me a laptop/PC.

Hey if you guys are willing to pay $500-1000 rather than take the 5 minutes it takes to install basic software (a form of which is actually baked into windows nowadays) then I'll be happy to be your "computer guy" for half that. I thought that hustle dried up in the mid 00s but apparently people are still falling for this "macs are easier to use/safer" shit.
I built my PC for less than $700 over half a decade ago and it will still run basically everything on the market. Literally never had an issue that wasn't caused my by own tinkering and my laptop has been set it and forget it for almost that long too, though I only use it for design work I can't do on my licensed software Mac workstation so it mostly sits in my desk drawer.
My take is and always has been that you've either got more money than sense or are falling for the marketing/want a status symbol (whether you're willing to admit it or even realize it or not). Taking the 10 seconds to pull my phone out and google the solution on the rare occasion I have a problem is pretty easy, so I'll pick that over forking over a significant part of my paycheck every year or two and having to take the shit I own to someone else because the company I bought it from won't let me fix it myself.

^^^^Seriously this. People are traumatized from getting porn adware on their family desktop in the mid 00's. The "Mac's don't get viruses" thing has always been bullshit, but computers now are extremely easy to operate. I haven't had an issue with viruses in years and I think I just use the built in Windows anti-virus.
My bluetooth earbuds automatically sync with my android phone.
MacOS is necessary if you're in certain fields like graphic design or whatever, but I've never seen the benefits people claim for personal use. If I remember right, my buddy had one and had to pay like $400 to have a hard drive replaced. I think he had to mail it in somewhere too. If it was a PC, I could have done it for $50 in under an hour.

There was this girl I was talking to and we started crashing at each other house and I’m a great host I’ll offer you a drink, a beer, a mix drink , chips snacks and most likeY smoke you out etc Etc … but yeah every time I would stay the night she would cook herself food and never offer me anything , no water no food and she would eat in front of me too. That was enough to think less of them and pull the ghost trick lol
No attack here but this sounds like a passive aggressive way to make it clear you don't like your company. I'd bet you both wanted to part ways

Lmao that was not a good assumption, plus I was offended cause that’s not true (: you had to be there to understand how it played out, its honestly probably her upbringing maybe her parent didn’t teach her manners or she’s just socially awkward about how to be about those kind of things maybe she’s not used to company idk . Regardless it wasn’t something I wanted to address and just wanted to find someone who naturalistically has those traits, called me old fashion or whatever

Pardon me for being indelicate here but, was this a sexual relationship?
if so, you sound like a generous host but were you a generous lover? Is it possible she didn't feed you because you wouldn't eat?
she might've thought less of you in that case.

Has astrology and horoscopes been brought up?
people who firmly believe in astrology and horoscopes make me go 😬 in my head
But i think im mostly like that with girls i like bc sometimes it can be a turn off. Not that it’s stopped me from trying something though.
Oh yeah dudes who pretend to be into astrology and horoscopes just to try and get some, like this one dude i used to know. Ugh. I think less of those.
I don’t blame them but damn the thirst is real.

I’ve got 3 kids and my wife and we have a lot of devices. I don’t mind paying more and having less things to manage. The only computer in my house I’ve had to mess with is my sons gaming laptop. The best part too is if my wife is having a problem I just tell her to take it to the Apple Store, she’ll drop it off, do some shopping at the near by shops or grab lunch but I don’t have to do anything. My sons laptop, what a nightmare.

i was given a 2014 macbook pro in 2020, swapped the battery and it's been a far, far better laptop than any of the windows based machines I'd had prior. Still running strong. The iphone, however, is not as smooth as the pixel 3 I had been running with grapheneOS. Graphene wasn't great, but that phone was incredible until it died

i don't hate on people who don't use apple products though but i do encounter people with andriod phones explaining how much more horse power and better this and that is on their android phone. for me it's like... will my macbook know it's there and just figure out how to show me the messages and will my airpods just connect seamlessly? then i'm good
I had a buddy once try to convince me to buy a PC instead of Macbook, he's basically like "just buy this tower, this graphics card, this sound card, install this anti-virus, install this malware remover and run it about once a week, buy this, buy that, and in the end it'll save you like $500!" I'm like dude I'll pay the extra $500 to not have to do all that shit. Also I'm in graphic design and just prefer the Mac OS and working on Macs anyways.
Either way, I think it's because being into PCs is a serious hobby in and of itself.
Maybe even a lifestyle, shit I dunno lotta folks are really, really fuckin' into it.
Nowadays Apple seems to appeal more to people who are like "I don't want to have to modify or maintain this thing, I just want something that works and I'll pay extra for it."
agreed on your points. apple to pc/andriod like this to me
apple
- more expensive
- less configurations and maintenance
- less flexible (this used to be a major problem for me)
- lower maintenance
- more cohesive ecosystem with low configuration (my apple tv just knows i'm going to want to use my airpods)
- luxury brand/accessory
- not good for games
pc/android
- more affordable
- more flexible
- higher maintenance
- utilitarian/practical (not a luxury thing)
- great for gaming
- disjointed, high maintenance ecosystem
i'm not going to judge anyone based on this but i do a lot of business networking these days and i've noticed trends. entrepreneurs, startup crowd tend to have iphones while corp executives/conservative company executives tend to favor andriod. so at a networking event i might make some assumptions based on your phone.
Hey if you guys are willing to pay $500-1000 rather than take the 5 minutes it takes to install basic software (a form of which is actually baked into windows nowadays) then I'll be happy to be your "computer guy" for half that. I thought that hustle dried up in the mid 00s but apparently people are still falling for this "macs are easier to use/safer" shit.
I built my PC for less than $700 over half a decade ago and it will still run basically everything on the market. Literally never had an issue that wasn't caused my by own tinkering and my laptop has been set it and forget it for almost that long too, though I only use it for design work I can't do on my licensed software Mac workstation so it mostly sits in my desk drawer.
My take is and always has been that you've either got more money than sense or are falling for the marketing/want a status symbol (whether you're willing to admit it or even realize it or not). Taking the 10 seconds to pull my phone out and google the solution on the rare occasion I have a problem is pretty easy, so I'll pick that over forking over a significant part of my paycheck every year or two and having to take the shit I own to someone else because the company I bought it from won't let me fix it myself.
I’ve got 3 kids and my wife and we have a lot of devices. I don’t mind paying more and having less things to manage. The only computer in my house I’ve had to mess with is my sons gaming laptop. The best part too is if my wife is having a problem I just tell her to take it to the Apple Store, she’ll drop it off, do some shopping at the near by shops or grab lunch but I don’t have to do anything. My sons laptop, what a nightmare.
Ahhh so it's both.
You dont seem to even consider that you aren't actually managing less, you're just paying more to do it in a more restrictive environment because you don't know and are unwilling to learn how to do it with a PC. I'm telling you this objectively as a guy who has been using both Macs and PCs since mouses had one button and regularly switches between them... there is nothing that I can do with my mac but not my PC (other than feel smug about having one), while the inverse has so many examples I won't even start listing them.
If my or my loved ones computer has a problem I dont need to take it or myself anywhere. I can fix it right there on the spot or get bestbuy to same-day me the part if it's hardware related. At the actual cost of the part.
It's like having to take a setup you paid $500 for to the shop to get your bearings changed, them selling you a set of reds for $75 and sloppily installing them, and you still somehow thinking it's not only normal but they're doing you a favor. Blows my mind.
So, since the practical/objective argument falls apart very quickly I can't help but come to the conclusion that the reason most people choose them beyond ignorance is as a status symbol. You want people to know you can afford the hip, expensive company. And that's fine, as long you're honest about it (with yourself). They are better at showing off wealth, but not at being computers.
Please don't take this as a personal attack, you've just fallen perfectly into their marketing and apparently have a good enough job to have been thoroughly rinsed by them.

I prefer apple because I like the ux and frankly I do think they’re aesthetically better looking. I’m pretty sharp with money in every other walk of life - I rarely Uber and never get food delivered amongst other things (plus I’m in my 30s with no kids) so every 5 years I’m fine with this being the area that I might spend a little more on because of the familiarity and convenience. I’ve never enjoyed using a PC and I have no specific needs that would require me to do so. I have no intention or need to be good at computers. My Apple is idiot proof and I’m an idiot that appreciates it

i was given a 2014 macbook pro in 2020, swapped the battery and it's been a far, far better laptop than any of the windows based machines I'd had prior. Still running strong. The iphone, however, is not as smooth as the pixel 3 I had been running with grapheneOS. Graphene wasn't great, but that phone was incredible until it died
You bringing up old Google phones makes me miss their Nexus lineup before they got rebranded, great camera (for the time), optimization and value for the $350 paid. I remember ordering it from Google Japan and taking the day off work so I could be home for the delivery, my colleague did the same and drove over the minute I received it.

Been a pc user since the 90s. Was given a powermac around 95 and i loved it until it broke and i couldnt fix it like my pc. I still see videos on how often a lot of apple computers breakdown and how apple isnt too receptive of right to repair. I bought a super expensive pc that’s almost the same price of an imac and its been an amazing machine. Plus not that excited about apple make their own processors

Maybe I’m lucky or maybe it’s because I’m a light user, but I haven’t had any issues with any mac machine where it needs to be repaired in my 15 years of use. So all those issues with right to repair haven’t sprung up for me.

Ahhh so it's both.
You dont seem to even consider that you aren't actually managing less, you're just paying more to do it in a more restrictive environment because you don't know and are unwilling to learn how to do it with a PC. I'm telling you this objectively as a guy who has been using both Macs and PCs since mouses had one button and regularly switches between them... there is nothing that I can do with my mac but not my PC (other than feel smug about having one), while the inverse has so many examples I won't even start listing them.
If my or my loved ones computer has a problem I dont need to take it or myself anywhere. I can fix it right there on the spot or get bestbuy to same-day me the part if it's hardware related. At the actual cost of the part.
It's like having to take a setup you paid $500 for to the shop to get your bearings changed, them selling you a set of reds for $75 and sloppily installing them, and you still somehow thinking it's not only normal but they're doing you a favor. Blows my mind.
So, since the practical/objective argument falls apart very quickly I can't help but come to the conclusion that the reason most people choose them beyond ignorance is as a status symbol. You want people to know you can afford the hip, expensive company. And that's fine, as long you're honest about it (with yourself). They are better at showing off wealth, but not at being computers.
Please don't take this as a personal attack, you've just fallen perfectly into their marketing and apparently have a good enough job to have been thoroughly rinsed by them.
I prefer apple because I like the ux and frankly I do think they’re aesthetically better looking. I’m pretty sharp with money in every other walk of life - I rarely Uber and never get food delivered amongst other things (plus I’m in my 30s with no kids) so every 5 years I’m fine with this being the area that I might spend a little more on because of the familiarity and convenience. I’ve never enjoyed using a PC and I have no specific needs that would require me to do so. I have no intention or need to be good at computers. My Apple is idiot proof and I’m an idiot that appreciates it
Been a pc user since the 90s. Was given a powermac around 95 and i loved it until it broke and i couldnt fix it like my pc. I still see videos on how often a lot of apple computers breakdown and how apple isnt too receptive of right to repair. I bought a super expensive pc that’s almost the same price of an imac and its been an amazing machine. Plus not that excited about apple make their own processors
Maybe I’m lucky or maybe it’s because I’m a light user, but I haven’t had any issues with any mac machine where it needs to be repaired in my 15 years of use. So all those issues with right to repair haven’t sprung up for me.
My mom got a job at apple 7yrs ago and she had to switch, she said the same. I follow a lot of tech youtube and this guy is one of my favorites because of his cats

Pardon me for being indelicate here but, was this a sexual relationship?
if so, you sound like a generous host but were you a generous lover? Is it possible she didn't feed you because you wouldn't eat?
she might've thought less of you in that case.
No, we hadn’t had sex yet! But We made out dried hump all kinds of stuff but we never had condoms. I know some of you guys are ruthless with the raw dogging lol but personally I’m not that down after almost barebacking a girl who I found out ended up having herpes l: but she really liked me a lot haha I’m not being naive either.

i'm currently guilty of being an apple fanboy but i had a traumatic experience that caused me to get a macbook years back and the ecosystem is so sticky so as a family we are all in these days.
i don't hate on people who don't use apple products though but i do encounter people with andriod phones explaining how much more horse power and better this and that is on their android phone. for me it's like... will my macbook know it's there and just figure out how to show me the messages and will my airpods just connect seamlessly? then i'm good
I had a buddy once try to convince me to buy a PC instead of Macbook, he's basically like "just buy this tower, this graphics card, this sound card, install this anti-virus, install this malware remover and run it about once a week, buy this, buy that, and in the end it'll save you like $500!" I'm like dude I'll pay the extra $500 to not have to do all that shit. Also I'm in graphic design and just prefer the Mac OS and working on Macs anyways.
Either way, I think it's because being into PCs is a serious hobby in and of itself.
Maybe even a lifestyle, shit I dunno lotta folks are really, really fuckin' into it.
Nowadays Apple seems to appeal more to people who are like "I don't want to have to modify or maintain this thing, I just want something that works and I'll pay extra for it."
agreed on your points. apple to pc/andriod like this to me
apple
- more expensive
- less configurations and maintenance
- less flexible (this used to be a major problem for me)
- lower maintenance
- more cohesive ecosystem with low configuration (my apple tv just knows i'm going to want to use my airpods)
- luxury brand/accessory
- not good for games
pc/android
- more affordable
- more flexible
- higher maintenance
- utilitarian/practical (not a luxury thing)
- great for gaming
- disjointed, high maintenance ecosystem
i'm not going to judge anyone based on this but i do a lot of business networking these days and i've noticed trends. entrepreneurs, startup crowd tend to have iphones while corp executives/conservative company executives tend to favor andriod. so at a networking event i might make some assumptions based on your phone.

i was given a 2014 macbook pro in 2020, swapped the battery and it's been a far, far better laptop than any of the windows based machines I'd had prior. Still running strong. The iphone, however, is not as smooth as the pixel 3 I had been running with grapheneOS. Graphene wasn't great, but that phone was incredible until it died
You bringing up old Google phones makes me miss their Nexus lineup before they got rebranded, great camera (for the time), optimization and value for the $350 paid. I remember ordering it from Google Japan and taking the day off work so I could be home for the delivery, my colleague did the same and drove over the minute I received it.
oh boy. forgot about those. i had a nexus 7 wifi tablet until 2017 or so, when i got my first smart phone. I did all my online dating in Boston using a nexus 7 and flip phone.
the google pixel 3, and from what i've seen about the newer pixels, is/was an exceptional phone. battery life for days, incredible camera, etc. like I said, I was running a non-google OS, graphene, which was kind of a drag on performance, but it was a great machine. I would have gotten a newer pixel rather than the iphone 13 mini had the android OS updates for pixels been predicted for a longer period of time.

You dont seem to even consider that you aren't actually managing less, you're just paying more to do it in a more restrictive environment because you don't know and are unwilling to learn how to do it with a PC. I'm telling you this objectively as a guy who has been using both Macs and PCs since mouses had one button and regularly switches between them... there is nothing that I can do with my mac but not my PC (other than feel smug about having one), while the inverse has so many examples I won't even start listing them.
If my or my loved ones computer has a problem I dont need to take it or myself anywhere. I can fix it right there on the spot or get bestbuy to same-day me the part if it's hardware related. At the actual cost of the part.

So, since the practical/objective argument falls apart very quickly I can't help but come to the conclusion that the reason most people choose them beyond ignorance is as a status symbol.

if you review my pros and cons i think you'll see that they account for all the points your making. i like that they are a luxury item as i listed as a pro. i'm not falling for marketing, i'm buy a product that i've liked since the apple ii e that came out when i was 12 in the 80s. the fact that you can't do as many things on them is why people find them easier to use, less choices means lower learning curve. like most things in life what's best for you depends on a lot of factors. there isn't a better choice for everyone. it sounds like you found great products for your lifestyle and i'm feeling pretty good about my families choices over here.

I don’t think less, but people who take their movie theater popcorn to go after the movie is over.
I don't even know what it's like to have popcorn left by the time the actual movie starts.
Hah for sure that. But also, wanting MORE popcorn and probably cold popcorn. (I think some people do the refill on a Large before they go, but more often than not it seems to be ladies who have the to go bucket of half-finished popcorn)
Whatever people do with their popcorn is their business, and I won’t judge. Popcorn is the one snack… maybe even moreso than salsa that I might jerk off a homeless person for.
Don’t forget the gallon of soda so you can take an exhausting four minute piss during the climax of the movie!

Damn how much are you dropping on popcorn for one movie to get a new batch delivered? Or can you buy a certain size and just request a replacement for a fresh batch? I respect both regardless.

No I just mean when they deliver you popcorn to your seat the first time - it’s in a bowl and it’s fresh. I’ve been getting a lot of cold popcorn with bottom of the batch scrapings in it lately, so it’s def appreciated. The option is there for free refills, but I don’t think I’ve really taken that up unless sharing in a long movie

Well the one thing with plastic bags is you can use them instead of garbage bags. Where I live hasn't had disposable plastic bags for prob 8 years or something but if the option is free garbage bags or buy garbage bags might as well let the shop pay for it.

Cheating in friendly competitions
A great example is people who lie what letter they have in skate. When you remind them their correct letter they awkwardly pretend they forgot. Because it’s so hard keeping track of 5 letters. This shit happens nearly every time I play anyone so I never like playing skate anymore. That type of cheating never happens playing horse in basketball. A lot of skaters don’t have good integrity I’ve realized.

In this case, not because I’m a lazy sod, but because my tastebuds revolt at the flavor of anything, and I mean pretty much ANYTHING that’s lived underwater. Saltwater & fresh. Tentacles, scales, shells, or meaty tails, I mostly avoid all of it. Don’t care for the smell either.

so i am australian and we use the metric system - certain things though with american roots are still referred to in feet and inches, some examples being skate and surfboards and ramps. i don't actually really think less of them, but listening to australian children who really haven't grasped any units of measurement (imperial or metric) argue over how many feet tall a ramp is, is shitful and i kind of hate them for it (obviously i don't hate them at all...but i kind of do).

I'm talking about that weird shit where they open the door all the way and stand outside holding the door open while you enter ahead of them. Think some "traditional" weirdo on a date, except it's just your co-worker letting you enter the work meeting ahead of him.

This one is super odd to me. Isn’t that just being polite? I never open a door and walk through first if there’s someone near by. It’s also reciprocated damn near 100%. I do a lot of business networking where there are frequent meetings with other business owners and execs and no one ever opens the meeting room door and just walks in when there’s a group show up at same time to door. Same if we got to a restaurant after.

Door culture is interesting.
I tend to hold the door open and let people in first if we are next to each other and I am on the hinge side.
If I am a few steps ahead I will go in first but hold the door until their hand makes contact.
If the are 20 ft or more I will look back while holding the door hoping for a wave in or a scurry.
If someone holds the door for me twice (mall style) I will thank them for each door. May annoy some but the second thank you is ‘thank you, again’.
People who enter a building and don’t look back are subnormal.
People who don’t wave when crossing a crosswalk are really strange. Why would you want to piss off someone that could potentially run you down?

When people try to come up with some rationalization for why we don’t wear helmets. There’s no justification. There’s no reason. We just want to look cool. It’s fucking dumb. I respect anybody wearing helmets, if I wore one I’d probably skate better and commit to more stuff.
When I see people say “oh you hardly ever hit your head skating, it’s very rare, they’re adults blah blah blah” when Reddit crowd makes a helmet joke I think they’re dogmatic, un-self aware and incapable of genuine self introspection.

The way people dress for casual meetings with friends and relatives.
Since I've been a kid, my dad always enforced the idea of looking extremely sharp all the times. The idea of overdressing for me is definitely a bonus when you have a great sense of style, make me think that person cares about himself/herself at a point that looking good is essential even for casual meetings.
I fucking hate when people dress "poorly" or clearly doesn't have a clue of how to combine stuff, especially men. I've already gone on dates where girls dressed like a kid and that is awful, nothing beats a woman with a nice fit and a man that matches the same vibe. Skateboarding has the best and the worst examples of it, Crockett it's perfect in that sense of body proportion and style, Dylan always looked great & heath kirchart too, love the Suciu fits too.

Lose the ego, here’s something to think about
“In college, my best friend and I had a summer job culling trees from a property 50kms (30miles) from the nearest hospital/ambulance station. We both got the job at the same time and worked there for almost 3 summers in a team of 5 guys. We were all very skilled with equipment and had been through extensive training. Two of the guys on the team were professional arborists. We had all the gear, but as anyone with professional experience with chainsaws will tell you, unpredictable accidents can happen.
On a late August morning we had just finished downing a 30 foot white pine and were in the process of removing the branches. My friend was working his way down the trunk when he hit a knot in an oddly formed branch and the chainsaw kicked and due to the admittedly awkward position he was in sliced into a seam between his chaps and his belt.
The blood started flowing immediately and everyone stopped. While the others stabilized him, I ran to get my car knowing in any case we'd have to drive. While trying to control the bleeding we loaded him into the back seat of my car and I started driving as fast as I could towards the nearest hospital. 10/50kms in we got cell coverage and arranged a place to meet the nearest ambulance. I knew we had to get him in fast as we were having trouble controlling the bleeding. When I reached a 4 lane highway I started going faster than I had ever driven before.
While in the middle of nowhere most people would see me coming and move to the right lane (slower traffic keeping right), but as we got closer to town we started coming across packs. It was 25/50kms to the hospital that we came across a white Nissan Altima and a Subaru Forester that blocked us in just like the OP likes to do. I can still remember the license plates of those to cars to this day. She was doing everything to ensure I didn't pass. She slowed up down from 90-75km/h (speed limit is 100km/h - ~60mph). We were stuck. It was this way for a solid 10minutes. It wasn't until we got to the next exit ramp that I was able to pass on the inside and get by. By this point most of our clothes had been used to help soak up the blood/applying pressure.
Frustrated one of the guys threw a T-shirt that was dripping in blood out the window as we passed and hung out to give them a wave. He, like all of us, was covered in blood. The blood soaked T-shirt landed midway up the hood of the white Altima leaving a streak as it slid/rolled up and over the windshield.
5kms (3 miles down the highway) we were joined by a highway patrol officer who matched our speed and helped to clear the way to the ambulance waiting a further 2 miles down the road. By that point the bleeding had slowed and my friend had a very weak pulse. The ambulance crew was ready and waiting and transferred him within seconds of our arrival. I jumped into the ambulance and we all took off. Sadly the friend died a few minutes later, 1km from the hospital.
My friends were at the side of the road explaining the situation to the police officer when the white Altima showed up. I wasn't there for this part, so I'm going by the stories they told me. Anyways, she stopped and approached the officer in such a way that she couldn't see the blood soaked guys. She was shouting about dangerous driving and going to kill someone, yadda yadda yadda. The officer brought her around to look at the inside of my car which was covered in blood, and then pointed to the other two guys from my crew who were covered in blood from head to toe. He explained there was a medical emergency and asked if what we had said about her impeding the flow of traffic was correct. He cited her for a number of things including unnecessarily slow driving and dangerous driving. While he was writing the ticket he was informed of the death of my friend in the ambulance. The guy stopped writing the ticket to come over and tell the guys what happened. He opted to not tell the lady in the Altima, but the other guys on the team sure let her know.
The guys got in the car and came to meet me at the hospital where we were going to meet with police to explain the situation. On the way they passed the Subaru Forester, which had been stopped by another officer.
Your best bet is to get out of the way if you can. While the driver behind you may just be an asshole, it may also be someone with a medical emergency; a partner in labour, a child having a diabetic attack, or a tree surgeon bleeding to death. In any case, letting them past you doesn't affect you in any way and may save a life. These scenarios aren't likely, but they also aren't impossible. It ultimately comes down to how you decide to process the situation. If you want to operate on the default mode of assuming you're right and everyone else is wrong, you're going to have a terrible time functioning in society. Lines, traffic, call centers, and dealing with big business or government will always seem tedious to you. On the other hand, if you can view the world from a more understanding perspective you'll be able to relax and stop being such a dick. Have a good life! “

I can't stand when I'm doing like 70 in the right lane and someone still tailgates me.
People that merge into the lane next to you right as you are passing them so it initially looks like they're going to pull directly in front of you. I really think this is bad when there is no traffic, if there is bad traffic its not a problem cause you know they aren't just pulling in front of you. Its when there is literally no traffic, they can't wait 1 second for you to fully go by them.
When somebody is parked on the street in the first spot at a stop sign intersection, but suddenly shoots out into traffic like they have the right of way. Like dude you have to enter the field of play before we even know you're driving, you're not checked in, for all we know you're just sitting there parked looking at youtube videos. I'm not expecting you to go.

Have you even listened to “This Is water”?
Clearly not because it really doesn’t have shit to do with the story besides the end part. It has more to do with standing in line at grocery stores than life or death situations.
The story is completely plausible. You just like to play speed vigilante on the road. You’re not the pace car in the Indy 500 jackass.

Dude, you really got a problem with aggression. I’m not saying that the story is the same as “this is water”, but the story has some phrases that are incredibly similar to the ones used by DFW that made me assume, someone tried to write a story to exemplify the the basic idea behind the speech and using some elements of the speech.
That doesn’t change the fact, that the story you shared, makes an important point.

Because it not only refers to relatives being parents to a child, but also to the medical conditions this kind of procreation can do to the child, which are usually mental disabilities. It’s not that complicated

Incest is the proper term and its fucked up due to the fact that, unlike as portrayed pop culture, porn, and jokes, its generally due to Rape and is far, far more common that people think

The officer brought her around to look at the inside of my car which was covered in blood, and then pointed to the other two guys from my crew who were covered in blood from head to toe. He explained there was a medical emergency and asked if what we had said about her impeding the flow of traffic was correct. He cited her for a number of things including unnecessarily slow driving and dangerous driving. While he was writing the ticket he was informed of the death of my friend in the ambulance. The guy stopped writing the ticket to come over and tell the guys what happened. He opted to not tell the lady in the Altima, but the other guys on the team sure let her know.
The guys got in the car and came to meet me at the hospital where we were going to meet with police to explain the situation. On the way they passed the Subaru Forester, which had been stopped by another officer.
Your best bet is to get out of the way if you can. While the driver behind you may just be an asshole, it may also be someone with a medical emergency; a partner in labour, a child having a diabetic attack, or a tree surgeon bleeding to death. In any case, letting them past you doesn't affect you in any way and may save a life. These scenarios aren't likely, but they also aren't impossible. It ultimately comes down to how you decide to process the situation. If you want to operate on the default mode of assuming you're right and everyone else is wrong, you're going to have a terrible time functioning in society. Lines, traffic, call centers, and dealing with big business or government will always seem tedious to you. On the other hand, if you can view the world from a more understanding perspective you'll be able to relax and stop being such a dick. Have a good life! “
Neat anecdote. First off, if they were so skilled, why didn't they have any first aid equipment other than their dirty t-shirts? Not really that prepared were they? Three years working for the forest service and never once did we go out cutting without someone medically trained (myself), as well as tourniquets and wound packing gauze.
Secondly, there is no causal evidence that driving faster than the speed limit saves lives. Not even for ambulances. All it does is put other people at risk on the road. No matter how serious your emergency is, it isn't serious enought to cause an accident that can potentially get an untold number of other people killed. In this anecdote, they likely maybe saved themselves two to four minutes, which, with an improperly treated trauma means absolutely fuck all.

Being an arborist is one of if not the most dangerous job in America. And you expect some college kids to be able to have the medical equipment and experience to suture a cut artery if not multiple.
It’s also a very commonly known fact that driving slower rather than faster is much more dangerous and causes more accidents.
Just think about what you just said and why its so stupid. If you’re someone having an allergic reaction where your throat is closing and the only thing to reverse it is miles away, your survival absolutely depends how quickly you can get to medical help. Same situation with someone losing gallons of blood of a minute. Do you see ambulances driving the speed limit when they are on the way to an emergency? Fuck no, they put on the sirens and speed as fast as they can, ignoring red lights to get the person who needs help. Ambulances shouldn’t fit in to your bullshit statistic either because cars get out their way when they have their sirens on.
In the story it explicitly states they were boxed in for 10 minutes, which is way more than the 3-4 minutes that you suggested.
One of my best friends in highschool died after having an allergic reaction to peanuts at a school event where he was immediately rushed to the hospital but he died before he could get there. He almost certainly would’ve survived if he had made it to the hospital in time.
Try telling your wife who’s in labor that you can’t be speeding to the hospital. You wouldn’t because that’s absolutely re- tar- ded.
Unbelievable how many people in this thread defend their asshole driving. You said you do it just to be funny which is the corniest shit ever. You’re not that important, people have places to be and it costs you nothing to get out of the way.

Let me just preface this by saying you are an idiot who has no idea what you're talking about. Please, tell me, a paramedic, more about what ambulances do or don't do, or should or should not be doing. Did you even bother taking a look at the articles I posted? Those are journal articles that I have on my computer already, because I have already researched shit like this.
1. I never said they need to have equipment or knowledge to suture a lacerated artery. Like you said though, it is a dangerous job, one that I previously stated I have done, except when I was doing it, the forest was also on fire.
What I said is, knowing how dangerous it is, they should have had a basic stop the bleed kit with them. Tourniquets and wound packing are how you stop bleeds, not sutures.
2. Completely false. Show me any study that says speeding is safer than driving the speed limit. Dollars to donuts that is the speed these evil motorists were going.
3. Please explain to me the difference between an anaphylactic and an anaphylactoid reaction first, then I might take you seriously with this point. Most people who have that serious of a reaction to go into anaphylactic shock, will almost always have an epi pen or some other form of epinephrine injecting device. Unless of course they are medically underserved, which is certainly a discussion for another time. Epinephrine saves lives in these cases, not going zoom zoom fast.
4. Bro, if you're losing gallons of blood every minute, then you are fucked anyway. Adults have only 5-7 liters of blood in circulation at any given time, other than pregnant women.
5. Refer to those articles I posted. There is a paradigm shift happening in the world of EMS. Someday soon hopefully, there will be almost no times when you ever see an ambulance going lights and sirens. Going lights and speeding very rarely leads to any life saving procedures actually being performed at the hospital. Paramedics are smart enough now (most of the time), to manage extremely sick patients for the extra two minutes it takes at most to get to the hospital. More and more, we manage patients and stabilize them on scene before we even initiate transport. The average time to be seen in the ED, even with a lights and sirens response is at minimum 15 minutes. Obviously there are exceptions, such as serious traumas, but even then, if the bleeding isn't stopped or at least stemmed prior to arrival at the trauma bay, then those patients aren't likely viable anyway. Also, ambulances aren't allowed to just blow through red lights. You are expected to drive with due regard to the public. They should be making an almost complete stop to check both ways before entering an intersection. It isn't exactly worth it to the patient if we go fast and get smoked by a car in the intersection. Now when there was when patient, there are many.
6. Ha! It is clear that you have spent exactly zero hours on an ambulance, because no, they fucking do not get out of the way. There are a whole plethora of reasons for this, but no, they generally don't really move in any meaningful way.
7. Did he have an epi pen? Did someone call an ambulance rather that trying to take him themselves? The wee woo bus has medicines for just that type of affliction. Epinephrine.
8. That's not really even a thing anymore dawg. If she is a known at risk pregnancy, then her and her physician will have a plan in place for what to do when the time comes. Otherwise, somebody better call the amber lamps. We have the sterile equipment, and are trained in assisting a mother to deliver her child.
9. No one has anywhere to be that justifies them endangering everyone else on the road.
And, in my anecdote, I already said I was going over the speed limit. So I'm an asshole too. Though generally 5-10 over in my area is just going with the flow of traffic.

1. Not all arborists are created equal. Expecting all of them to have the right medical equipment is insane. Maybe in a perfect world but we aren’t living in that. Tourniquets can be absolutely be made from t shirts. Proper tourniquets don’t immediately stop the flow of blood and fix the situation. Medical help is still needed immediately.
2. Completely correct. Look it up. It has actual peer reviewed studies rather than a google doc you made for your senior thesis.
3.another case of you expecting everyone to have an epi pen on them at all times. There’s plenty of times where people don’t realize they have a serious allergy until it happens. Epi pens don’t always work either. Only in a perfect world would everyone have their epi pen at all times and know how to administer it properly or for it to be 100% effective.
4. It’s a euphemism and you know what I meant. Liters or gallons, losing a lot of blood that quickly is lethal.
5. There’s still plenty of instances where the patient does need to be evacuated to a hospital immediately. You even said most of the time, which is not all the time. You also mentioned exceptions for trauma and other things. So those people are just fucked in your paradigm shift I guess. Sometimes the ambulance can’t get there in time to stabilize them. What happens then? Then its a lot faster to speed to the hospital rather than wait around for an ambulance. Ambulances need to be able to get where they need to go quickly, your argument makes no sense.
6. This is bullshit. People move out of the way near 100% of the time. Its basic driving 101. It doesn’t take a paramedic to know this. Your points make me believe your a receptionist at a grocery store clinic cosplaying as a medical professional.
7. He did have an epi pen but once again it wasn’t enough to save him. The “wee woo bus” couldn’t make it to him in time and he died in his fathers arms before they arrived.
8. Unplanned labor happens all the fucking time. You don’t know what you’re talking about. All of your points boil down to “in a perfect world the ‘amber lamps’ would be there in time”
9. I’ve given a million examples where being somewhere in time justifies speeding. With all the shootings going on, the cops and ems should take their time I guess so they don’t endanger anyone else on the road. Soon they won’t have any sirens to alert anyone to get out of the way right?
In your anecdote I said your an asshole for not letting people get past. 5-10 over is keeping up with the flow of traffic near everywhere.

So, you're still a dummy with no medical knowledge or experience. Got it. Once again, you did not bother to read the articles (peer reviewed) that I posted. And no, effective tourniquets can not be made out of fucking t-shirts. Hell, there are a bunch of commercial examples of tourniquets that don't even meet the qualification of being effective.
I like that, "it doesn't take a paramedic to know that the do move out of the way". Well, speaking from literal multiples of experience, I can say that they do not. Most of the time people just can't hear the sirens, some times there is nowhere to go, but they definitely don't move out of the way "100% of the time"
Epi pens are not intended to be used once and then you go about your business. It is sad that the manufacturers don't inform patients that there are multiple doses in them, and that if you take them apart for those multiple doses, they can actually be used for IM administration rather than sub Q which is actually what you get if you use the first dose as instructed.
Also, you give me your peer reviewed studies of how slower driving creates more accidents, and fatal ones at that, and I will give you mine about how speeding. Other than the ones I already posted related to ambulances getting into motor vehicle collisions.

They can be made out of t shirts. It happens every day. And now you’re saying that all arborists need something better than commercial tourniquets because even those aren’t effective?
Because a few people don’t move out of the way every once awhile that means they should all get rid of sirens I guess. Got it. I also said “near 100% of the time.”
So you admit that people aren’t usually informed enough to even know how to use epi pens effectively. My friend did use his properly and he still died. Argue this with his family. RIP Simon.
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/21582440221091708
Here’s your study and it’s not a google doc. If you’re still skeptical just look it up, pretty much everywhere will tell you it’s more dangerous to drive slow and it causes more accidents. Slow driving is usually due to texting which kills people all the time. And no I’m not saying speeding is safe or a good thing. Im just saying there’s times where speeding is absolutely necessary.
It’s also funny how you being a paramedic makes you think you’re an expert on all areas of medicine.
This all boils down to my original point, that speeding sometimes is necessary in life or death situations and you’ve done nothing to convince me otherwise.
-
You didn't even read that study. Also, once again, none of the studies I posted are just "google docs" They are all peer reviewed and published in medical journals. I put them in my google drive and opened permissions because generally they are behind pay walls, though I have institutional access.
People who use t-shirts for tourniquets die. I didn't say that arborists need some magical, beyond commercial tourniquet, what I said, is that there are a shit load of knock off tourniquets on the market. Buying legitimate CAT or SOFFT tourniquets may be slightly more expensive, but it is worth the cost. Also, as I said, wound packing gauze for junctional hemmorhage.
And yes, we should do away with lights and sirens for 99% of medical calls. It does more harm than good.
I didn't say that people don't use their epi pens effectively, they just aren't informed by the company that it contains a multi-dose vial. If your friend or their family had been informed of that, he may still be alive. RIP Simon.
I never said I'm an expert in all areas of medicine, just when compared to you.

People who cut ties and don’t talk to family members.
If there’s been abuse or something extremely bad happened, fine. But when people essentially break ties with family over trivial to moderate transgressions it’s a big red flag to me.

My mom and her siblings have all been fighting since their parents died. I got pulled into an email thread about some funeral plans for my grandmother and the passive aggressive bullshit was too much and I told them to leave me out of whatever petty shot they have going on. Haven’t spoken to any of them, except my mom, in years. I had such a trivial relationship with these people before, it didn’t matter that I cut them out.

They are more evolved than those who don't know how to mute...or those hosting meetings that don't mute the non muters.....
That said, one my biggest enjoyments is the outrage caused by a reply all.....my god....

I was bit by a pit in the leg at 6 AM as soon as I walked out my front door one morning. I lived next to a Mexican family in a townhome outside of Denver, and that community loved their pits. Ended up with a puncture wound. The guy said nothing, got his dog, and went back inside.
Recently, I had a Doberman that was on a leash lunge at me as I was walking to work on a busy downtown street. I glanced at the dog and it snapped. I loudly said, "what the fuck man???" Again. The guy holding the dog said nothing. I have no doubt had the dog not been leashed he would have bitten me.

I believe in religious and spiritual freedom and having the right to practice whatever you believe (as long as it doesn't hurt other people.) with that being said, I work with a chick who's a practicing wiccan, refers to herself as a witch, and is constantly talking about witchcraft. she even told me she's taking a few days off at the end of October for some wiccan holiday or some shit. there is ALWAYS something wrong with her. she's always sick, always is having a breakdown, never wants to work, always wants to go home, always has, "the zoomies."
she pulled a work prank on me recently and I politely but firmly asked her not to do that again. she insisted it wasn't her, although I know it was because she's a terrible liar and she was the only other person working with me at that point in time... the next day my manager pulls me aside and starts asking me what's going on at home, if something is going on in my personal life to affect my job performance, etc. I looked at him very perplexed.
he then goes on to tell me that someone told him that I seem erratic and all over the place, and that I'm, "not moving with intent." I had no idea what the fuck he was talking and I told him that. 99% of the time I'm a really laid back and upbeat dude and I'm very good at my job... turns out she went and made up all this shit about me because she didn't like that I said something to her. any time I make eye contact with her she looks at me with the coldest, deadest, most blank stare I have genuinely ever seen in my life.
I work downtown and often skate around before and after work. one day I left my board at the store and when I came back to get it, she was standing right next to it. "OH DID YOU LEAVE THIS?" as if she's putting a hex on it or some shit. lucky for me, I don't believe she has any power or control over me and think she's a major kook. I practice my own spiritual beliefs and have even prayed on the situation and tried to find guidance and the best way to work with and around her.
needless to say, I don't think highly of her. not entirely for the witch stuff, but because she's terrible at her job and is extremely difficult to be around. at the end of the day, I believe her to be a very lost soul and I hope one day she finds peace. I do not fuck with people who call themselves a witch.

On another note, I only have empathy for those who truly believe in wild conspiracies such as flat earth. Once you've seen someone close to you reach that point and you can reflect on the years that led into it, there's always a sad story to be told.

I have these (https://a.co/d/4ThH4WE) slippers for putzing around the apartment, then a pair of those super soft thick foam adidas sandals that I can slip on to walk down to the laundry/mail room or step out for a smoke. The slippers do wear out but I typically buy a new pair every winter. There's also always like 3 pairs of blown out skate shoes by the door that I can slip on like they were...slip-ons I guess.. you get the idea. Years of working in a hospital have made me illogically stubborn about wearing Crocs though...I refuse to do it for reasons I'm not sure even I entirely understand. There's just something weird and unsettling to me about foam clogs.

People wearing flipflops with no socks in an urban environment, disgusting
This one is always crazy to me because sandals with socks is one of the biggest no no for me.
If you have crazy feet, yea keep em covered. If you have regular feet, let them dogs out.

^^This reminds me of one: People who wear jeans with sandals. Despite how comfortable you proclaim it to be, it just doesn't look good.

oh man at the rehearsal place I go to with my band I regularly see this drealocked guy, from Eastern Europe I think, who's always barefoot, even in the middle of winter. Freaks me out! and he's barefoot outside too, not just in the rehearsal space....I don't get it.

Kenny reed in an old interview talked about traveling the world and noticing how a lot of people in the world dont have access to shoes…or wear them due to poverty. Maybe rasta dude is trying to relate

Another notch against IUTSM.
Flip flops and barefoot til it’s too wet and cold, gotta avoid frostbite and chilblains. Rarely wear shorts either.

After almost 20 years, this is one of the few things that really annoys me about my wife.
I know this is a little bit of a long shot, but I think we should switch wives.

My wife and I have been married 20 years also. I think my energy bills would be too high with your wife. We are already paying $400 a month. Probably a result running the AC at 73 all summer.
If not turning the lights off is the only issue in the marriage I think you are in it for the long hall.

People that feel the need to always be the most witty one in the room. When you can just tell that they’re trying their hardest with their one liners and zings.

This is a really good one. Especiially if it's a national team. Fuck the 'we' sayers.

Fuck I hope this isn't me... I just really only pipe up when I actually have something to add to the conversation, be it a joke or comment.... I try not to be "the smartest guy in the room" cause that is mad annoying, for sure.
In the same vein, if you know one or two "smart" words and try to cram them in every sentence, you probably aren't that smart. This one person always said "necessarily" every time they could and I couldn't even understand what they were trying to say/explain.

The worst is when you’re at a party where two are present, then it becomes a contest of who can out-wit the other for the “wittiest person at the party” award; just going back n forth all night with who can come up with the wittiest one liner, where you can tell when one makes a witty line the other gets jealous that they didn’t come up with it and gets upset that they’re losing attention so they rush to make a wittier line of their own in hopes of winning. Witnessed this at a party some months ago and it was just so cringe.
Edit: I have two crews I usually hang out with, my skate homies and my music scene homies. My skate homies and just with the skate scene in general I usually never deal with that happening ever because everyone’s a lot more down to earth, I feel like most skaters I meet tend to be actually, well at least here they are. But people in the music scene, oh man…… I feel like there’s so many of the “wittiest person in the room” types that I have ran into over the years just hanging with my musician friends and being a part of the music scene and going to parties related to that scene or going to shows n stuff. I’m a part of the indie/punk scene out here in case anyone was wondering what type of music it was when I’m saying “the music scene”.

people that truly have no self awareness when presenting for a group. To not realize you're talking 10 words a second for 15 minutes straight is absolutely insane. There is truly no one listening to you at that point. Then even worse if you maintain that speed while shifting across multiple topics with no breathing room for someone to even chime in for a moment before shifting to the next topic.
I recently completed the PC game "Return to Monkey Island" and pressing the right ALT button lets you skip through the dialogue. My colleague presented exactly as you described earlier this week, made me wish I had a ALT button IRL to speed through her dialogue and save everyone 30 minutes of their time.
I’ve recently experienced this person in Portland. A man struck up a conversation with me because we were seated near each other and I was alone. Turns out the dude was a “Foodie” with a capital F. He told me what was what I’m the Portland scene, who owns what in the city, and where and where not to go. Dude went on and on and refused to give me any space to reply to his rantings. I told him I’m from San Diego and he proceeded to tell me about the supposed ins and outs in my own city. I was stuck there because the server took her time with bill. Self awareness at zero. I bet he wonders why he has no good friends.

. I've met enough attention seeking shit bags that are involved with music that it's turned me off from that crowd quite a bit. I know of a few "bands" that never play live and have maybe an EP out, but the Instagram is basically a meme page that harvests a few likes every few days.

My contribution: People who are into winning. Like they have to win at everything. Can we just have some fun or converse in topics we both have knowledge? And then they get really upset when someone like me who does not see winning as an end goal in life win some little game.. ..Fucken sore losers..
This one isn't really about specific people but used think scenes in general are bad. They are a cesspool for bad behavior where people higher in hierarchy get away with shit that should not be acceptable. Also these scenes say they are inviting but in many cases it is just a big circle jerk...

People with those tinted licenses plates.

I experienced this alot in punk and hardcore but I still love the music.
My ex was sexually assaulted 5 times by this one guy that is still part of the scene and she definitely is not the only one to have that experience with him. I basically had to write off a whole group of friends because too many of them were too scared to back me up and stop this person from showing his face again.

In relation to this post: it seems like ever since I've made the anti-"wittiest guy in the room" post it's gotten someone so riled up that they've kooked me once a day since then. I noticed it starting right after I've made the above posts. I would assume that it's probably someone who takes pleasure in going out of his way to be the wittiest guy in the room who got offended that it makes me, a stranger on the net, think less of them perhaps? Even if it wasn't the above posts and was a post of mine in some other thread, I still do find it amusing that any post of mines could have riled someone up so bad that they're going out of their way to kook me once a day, especially since I feel like I usually post pretty tame shit in comparison to a lot of others on here. The kook/gnar system has always seemed kinda weird to me so it doesn't bother me much, but once again I do find it amusing and I'm in a way almost honored that my comments got under someone's skin so bad that it made them make it an obligation in their busy day to kook me once a day, it's almost flattering. "THAT'LL SHOW HIM AND TEACH HIM TO GET UNDER MY SKIN" lol.

With how wacky the kook/gnars are, I'm kinda surprised I've got positive rep. Haven't been around for super long, but some of the lowest rep users have the best posts, and vise versa.
Many users are wittier than myself, are funnier, or have more controversial takes that I keep thinking I'd be kooked for simply being middle of the road. Idk i don't think much about it.
On the flip side - i think less of those who wear no-show socks and mid or high top shoes.

Posting due to bemusement or amusement of something and posting due to being bothered by something are congruent of one another, two sides of the same coin, otherwise no one would ever post anything at all ever. You are aware this is how message boards work, correct?

I’ve never used the the gnar or kook features on here much, and though you stated you gnarr’d me, I feel your upfront worried-ness of being kooked which is thus making you walk on eggshells so you don’t get kooked is worthy of a kooking, so I think I will kook you. BUT THEN AGAIN….. Your ability to admit this in your post with no fucks given is admirable, so maybe a gnar is in order? Hmmm best to play it safe and just do neither. Enjoy your day.

I see similar benevolent acts at skateparks via some SUV dropping off a kid with a scooter without a "buh bye" or "have fun" or "I love you" or "call me when you need me to come get you" being uttered and then the parent just drives away. I know I live in a place that encourages breeding lifelong manufacturing employees, but I still think less of the parent just the same.

I will think less of you if you carry an electric scooter everywhere you go. Especially if you take that shit into the public transportation.

You'd be amazed how many people I've met that a scared of birds full stop.
Magpies are cool. Someone told me as a kid always to say hello to them if they are alone or it's bad luck, for some dumb reason it has always stuck with me and I do it with out even thinking.

Well in Aus they aren't real magpies they're actually currawongs and they technically do swoop people on occassion (altho they almost never make physical contact so it's more embarrassing than anything) so that's why I think people get scared but they're actually extremely friendly birds and you can probably be feeding them by hand and petting them within 15 mins if you really want to.
There's idiots that go out of their why to try and kill them and freak out if they see them or one lands in their yard etc.
I'll also add people who complain about birds making noise. It's fucking Australia birds sing to each other it's a nice thing you miserable cunts.

It's gotten kind of common to play the "ok boomer" card, when people criticise current developments. Not sure if this card really plays or if it is just a lazy way to engage with poeple, who have a different opinion.
I would have phrased it differently, but I can see a trend, where people outsource mudance tasks – not only to machines (that is great), but to people living under precarious conditions, who carry out these tasks: aka people who charge the scooters for incredible low wages, stuff like door dash and uber eats.

That’s complaining about the gig economy, not scooters dawg. Dude was literally complaining about people using scooters instead of walking because they’re lazy and entitled which is incredibly boomerfied. For the record I don’t ride a scooter because it makes you look like a fucking dork but it makes a lot of sense

Don't despair, comrade; the capitalist mode of production forges the weapons that bring death to itself, and calls into existence the men who are to wield those weapons - the modern working class.

When people complain about Messi's 8th ballon d'Or. The greatest player of all time, a once-in-a-lifetime gift from the footballing gods, overcomes years of pain and disappointment to finally win the sport's ultimate accolade (the World Cup) at the very last opportunity, after a sublime tournament and a man of the match performance in a heart-stopping final, and you don't think that deserves him this year's ballon d'Or?! That's a level of joylessness that I can't get on board with. And, no, Haaland didn't deserve it more; he's a remarkable talent, but scoring a shit-load of goals doesn't make up for going missing in every semi-final and final you play, scoring most goals against smaller clubs, and not even being the best player in your own squad.

It’s probably an oversimplification. Their music has been playing on the radio, restaurants, grocery stores etc. since I can remember. It would be interesting to see what people thought in an alternative universe where the Beatles were discovered like Death and Sugarman. In fact, I believe this was the premise for a recent film.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yesterday_(2019_film)
It’s kinda like how Taylor Swift is currently being rammed down our throats in the US. I get that she is not as talented but when corporations tell people what music or anything is the best people tend to push back after awhile.
My favorite album is the White album BTW…

that yesterday movie got old, after 60 minutes or so, but was nevertheless fun to watch and nice thought experiment.
Never got into the Beatles at a young age – mostly because that was music my parents liked very much (remember driving to our summer vacations at night and my parents listening to "hard days night" tape), and i didn't want to listen to the stuff, my parents liked, when i was a teen. Discovered them in my 30s (the beatles – not my parents). really enjoy them. Incredible output – especially considering how shotly they only existed

I saw Paul McCartney on Saturday night. It was incredible. I don't listen to the Beatles all that often anymore, especially since my dad passed as there is a sort of heartbreaking sentimentality wrapped up in listening to them now, but they're undeniable however you cut it - songwriting, production, technology in music, album covers, music videos, whatever... First use of feeback on a record, backmasking, double-tracking, looping. People are welcome to like and dislike whatever they want obviously, but you really can't write them off (not that anyone in here is)

People who veer/swerve left before a right turn while driving. It's stupid and makes no sense. If you have room and there is no bike lane or parking stalls, you should go as far to the right first before you make your right turn. Especially in a small town where our roads are wide as fuck and few even have marked lanes. If you do it properly you can give other people enough space to go beside you to turn left or go straight through.
-
People riding your ass on two lane roads when you are going the speed limit. Fuck those people. I don’t like them. Especially when it’s an aggressive car like an suv or a truck. This happened twice to me on Sunday. The first time was a older woman in a BMW SUV. So after about half a mile I put my right turn signal on and came to a complete stop before turning right into a development. I then return onto the road and gave it right back to her. The second instance was a guy around my age who came flying up behind me when the traffic light had turned red and I had a number of cars in front of me. So I jammed on my brakes to freak the guy out. He then starts giving me the finger out of his car. We pull up next to each other at the next light and I’m getting ready to fight this dude. I’m looking over at him and he’s not even looking at me. It’s like he’s over giving me the finger already and I’m ready for a fight. Am I nuts?

I can totally understand your frustration with those people and the urge to give it back to them. I don't know if you have family, but I decided to let these people be idiots and don't risk getting in car crash. It just isn't worth it in my opinion, no matter how annoying they are. At the end of the day I just want to get home safe and don't develop a fear of driving.

I might sound like a super old grandpa now. But did you ever drove on a German Autobahn? It can be crazy sometimes. Just stay on the right lane and let the idiots pass by. It is not worth it to get killed because someone wants to test his Porsche to the limits. I am fine with driving 140 km/h and get safely home to my girls.

The 405 from LA to Huntington Beach is the most dangerous stretch of road I’ve been on in the US and it’s not even close. Motor bikes splitting lanes. Corvettes chasing each other at 120 mph. People moving 4 lanes at a time Average speed is 90 mph. When you drive it at 8 PM when it’s dark you feel like you are on meth. It’s like a video game.
One night a motorcyclist passed by me at top speed. 20 minutes later I caught up to him and he was on the street. The speed of cars and bikes is crazy.

New Jersey is not your place. Very common to check the rear view mirror and only see the roof of a car behind you. They do it at stoplights too. Very dangerous place to drive.

Yep. And no matter which side of the street you drive on that example would be crossing over into the opposite side of the street at some point.
While we're at it... People who cut the line on left hand turns drive me crazy.
And even worse, people who turn into the wrong lane. A city bus would have side swiped me on my way home 20 minutes ago if I didn't expect everyone to do this. I came to a complete stop at a redlight in the right lane waiting to turn into the right lane. The city bus is across the street turning left on a green turn signal and turns into the right lane just so he doesn't have to change lanes to get to the bus stop. Technically we could have gone at the same time into our respective lanes but I waited thinking he might need some extra room but instead he just weaseled into the wrong lane like every other idiot driver here.

one incident 20 years ago cured me forever of giving in to road rage...I was walking in this semi-pedestrian street in Brussels and this guy in a convertible comes in way too fast. I motion to him to slow down.... He brakes hard, and legit tries to run me over in reverse! To the point where I jump on the curb and he smashes his car door into some concrete pillar. Then the guy steps out, he looks like he just got out of jail with this gnarly scar on his cheek. I thought I was going to get stabbed for sure. Luckily I was with a friend, he was alone....so he just insulted me and left with his smashed car. I did not even think of noting his license plate, I was so dumb-founded.
But I never forgot it. Made me realize how totally crazy some people are. These situations can escalate super quick, for nothing at all. Your life can change forever, for the dumbest shit.
Also, about "dangerous stretches of road": I got scared real good this summer driving in Crete!! some of the roads there are crazy....

Speaking of road rage…. 2 years ago i was on my bike when a rangerover overtook me honking and way too fast just so he had stop at a red light 30 meters ahead (that was already obvious).
So of course i sneak in front at the redlight and when it turns green i proceed to ride on extra slow.
The asshole straight up rams his rangerover into my bicycle and crushes my backwheel.
I look at him grinning and he drives off.
I got the number plate and he got reported to the police, but it‘s he could have killed me.
You never know what psycho is behind the wheel…
Its not worth risking it.

You think less of the driver then? Seems kinda petty…..
Re Steely….it’s lazy driving…..it’s too much work to turn right staying right….I’ll just let it drift into the left lane, which is no longer the fast lane anyhow….it’s the dip shit ‘oh no one else is here so I’ll just use it’ lane…..

Yes, I do have kids. And who am I to judge parents but I this isnt very uncommon to happen. The worst situation is when your kid (I'm talking small kids like 5 years and below, when they're asking for their moms/dads attention, they dont receive it because the phone takes all the attention and sometimes you can even sense the parent being bothered by their kids asking for / showing them something etc.

Sometimes it's all too much – and then you flee to the digital world, although you realize that some day, your kid will be grown up and you won't get this moment back.
Yes, I do have kids. And who am I to judge parents but I this isnt very uncommon to happen. The worst situation is when your kid (I'm talking small kids like 5 years and below, when they're asking for their moms/dads attention, they dont receive it because the phone takes all the attention and sometimes you can even sense the parent being bothered by their kids asking for / showing them something etc.
With that situation - I totally agree

Probably been mentioned countless times but...
People staring down at their phones while walking down the street
Bonus points if you're walking your dog... it's the only time you take him/her for a walk and you can't even pay them attention
Or you're in the playground with your kid(s) and all you know is to stare at your phone. Like wtf.
Oof this one takes the cake - you're a fucking asshole if you do this

mmmmm….phone are bad. the end.
ignoring kids tho, i mean. yeah. they talk constantly. if you listen to all of it, like all of it, and engage with all of it, everyone will suffer.

The “I used to be a liberal but…” shit always ends up with the person spewing FOX News talking points sprinkled with the bitching about trans or colored people. There’s no way these people used to be liberal considering their resentment against mainly Black people. Plus, they shouldn’t be hating on LGBTQ+, considering they would pay to suck Donald Trump’s dick.
-
I have a 1 year and a half boy and I avoid it at all costs to be on my phone when I'm hanging out with him... just to make sure that he feels like he matters
I hate it when I'm with someone and their phone beeps for whatever reason and they instantly have to look at it so maybe that's why I don't do it
Another thing is when I'm outside the last thing I want to be doing is to stare at my phone... that's why it makes no sense to me to be staring at it so I'm a little biased on this subject

Motion to have the evidence stricken from the record.
you want to have evidence of the perfect corner stricken from the record in a conversation about right turns? you'd be disbarred in half an hour (even in CA, where anyone can practice law)
Ladies and gentleman of the jury… We are here today talking about safe practices while DRIVING. However, the defense has attempted to pull the wool over your eyes with some deft prestidigitation, but you aren’t the rubes he believes you to be and I intend to prove that they are arguing in poor faith.
As I stated in my prior objection, the diagram presented by the defense is intended for instructional use by a motorcycle operator, as evidenced by inclusion of details such as the application of FRONT brakes, as well as the use of counter steering technique, NEITHER of which are utilized by drivers of automobiles, thereby rendering this piece of evidence as inadmissible in the matter before the court today, which is hearing a case about DRIVERS of cars (see quote: “…People who veer/swerve left before a right turn while driving.”) rather than RIDERS of motorcycles.
My client had stated their objection to the practice of VEERING left, prior to engaging in a right hand turn. In the diagram provided by the defense, the jury can clearly see that the RIDER of the motorcycle actually initiated their right hand turn FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD, again rendering this evidence as inadmissible in this case, since (AGAIN) my client, the aggrieved motorist, S. Daniel, lodged their original complaint against DRIVERS (not motorcycle RIDERS) who VEER LEFT before making a right turn, thereby needlessly obstructing traffic & hindering flow with the (relatively) large vehicles they operate.
Finally, I’d like to point out that the defense has presented a diagram of a scenario in which (perfect, or otherwise) the vehicle traveling the illustrated path moves through a bend in the roadway, as opposed to an intersection of two roads, such as at a traffic light, stop sign, or driveway, which is very clearly the scenario my client had in mind when they registered their complaint initially. Again, this factor alone should be adequate to show the evidence presented is non applicable in this case & should be stricken from the record.
In short, the defense is entering into evidence the equivalent of a knife that conveniently does not fit the defendants grip, in a murder case where the victim was shot to death and the detectives have already recovered the smoking gun, fingerprints, spent casings & all.
Your honor, good citizens of the jury: in closing I ask you to consider the reasonable nature of my client’s statement. We’re talking small town roads and automobiles here, not some MotoGP closed circuit racecourse. If the drivers that the defense is advocating for wish to apex their turns in the “perfect” manner shown in the questionable diagram, they should pay for track days like the rest of us do & keep the street racing to private roadways. I believe that the civic minded people assembled in the jury box will agree that driving on public roads already feels like Life Is A Hellride half the time, and siding with public safety & my client is the “RIGHT turn” to make today.
I rest my case, your honor.

Just like with makeup, it can look nice if done well/subtly. Especially when they get a professional job rather than glueing on some cheap ones. But that example is particularly heinous, and a lot of women go way overboard like that and end up looking like cheap whores. I mean apparently, they were invented by some French whore to keep cum out of her eyes so yeah. Pretty classy lol...

But wait… why’d she need to invent fake ones? I just use my regular, god given eyelashes to keep the cum out of my eyes: I still don’t get it.
Also, when cum does get in somebody’s eye, do you think those little swimmers start wiggling their way back in there, tryna make some eye babies, or what? Is that why it stings, or does the burning sensation come from the bleach I wash my face with ‘cause I just got jizz in my opticals?
-

That sounds like the type of bullshit story that my older brother used to tell when we were growing up, and which I would instantly believe.
I've Googled it for you, and the history of false eyelashes is pretty much what you'd expect: French woman figured it out in an attempt to look more feminine, a Brit improved the technicalities a bit, and some prick named Max Factor finally bought the patent and introduced it as a mass-consumption product. I'm not saying there wasn't any cum involved in the process of inventing, producing and marketing fake eye lashes, but maybe not in the way you suggested.
-
Yeah, some woman told me that once and I did no research so that's why I said apparently. I'd probably naively believe all your brother's stories...

Is it a scam if they’re providing emotional closure for people looking reach out to a loved one? I know they aren’t actually doing it, but if it’s an avenue for that person to find peace (which is what I think this shit really boils down to) then I guess it’s fine by me. I don’t think people are necessarily losing their houses to non900 number tarot readings, etc

I have a friend that recently got into it after a random tarot card reading that he decided to do on a whim. According to him, one of the cards that was drawn meant “you are looking at trouble ahead that is going to mess you up big”, that is what he told me the psychic said at least. After this, it really started messing with his head to the point where it caused a chain reaction of anxiety and hopelessness to the point where you could see it was affecting his every day life. Obviously these cards can’t tell the future, that’s impossible, but he is already someone dealing with a troubled past and dealing with anxiety issues that something like this can be more crippling than good depending on what he was told. I’ve tried to tell him that no one can truly predict the future and he is the one truly in control of his future and how he feels and not some cards or “psychic”, but he’s been having a hard time coming around with it.
The example you provided can be beneficial but there is also lots of examples where I think it does more harm than good, just to keep drawing in people to come back who get sucked in to believing it and paying more money in hopes they’ll get a good reading to negate a bad one they just got. When it comes to my opinion, to me it’s all bullshit. Psychics are good at sniffing out people who are easy to exploit and often times will exploit them if they smell potential money to be made.

I agree with your point. I also tend to think that people who listen to '90's R&B does so for other reason than purely the quality of the music.
But now to more pressing matters: I'm trying to get to grips with the 'the 90's were to R&B what the early 2000's were to skateboarding' claim. I mean, early 2000's; Mosaic, Menikmati, Sorry, Yeah Right, PJ Ladd's WHL, Photosynthesis, Static II.
If drop off in quality of output (because of a. bad use of new production technologies and techniques, and b. generally weak artistic prowess) compared to the previous decade is the litmus test, than I think there's better candidates for the '90's R&B era of skateboarding' title. Early 2010's maybe? I immediately think of Pretty Sweet; stale and repetitive, devoid of character (basically a lazy, uninspired copy of everything that worked well, and was new and exciting, a decade ago), with Ty and co. doing their utmost to use all the new editing, filming and production resources at hand to not complement the skating, but to distract from it, making it clumsily stand out like a sore thumb.

Right after work today this stupid lady called me an asshole for telling her she can't smoke at a gas station. She washed her friend's windows and puffed away on a cig as I pumped gas at the stall across from her. She even dared to say some stupid shit like "studies have shown that it's safer... blah blah blah" trying to rationalize that it's cool and safe to smoke cigs around a highly volatile and flammable fuel. I had a pretty long week and a particularly bad day and retorted by mocking her voice and saying "studies have shown that you are a stupid cunt." Right after that her friend came out and told her to put out the cigarette as a cop rolled up at the same time. Of course, she finally listened and was super smug about it as if I was the bad guy for trying not to get exploded. Yes I could have reacted better but she started the name calling so I felt I was justified in my lashing out... Maybe not but whatever. Humanity might be doomed though.

nah, that's valid. I've gotten upset at less. People lack common sense such much now, I feel like it's due to how automated a lot of things are in life these days, not trying to make excuses for them though. Pay attention, be alert when you're driving, respect the strangers around you in a public space (such as not smoking a fucking cigarette at a gas station lol), etc.
Earlier in the year I had an amazon driver (personal car not one of their delivery vehicles) speed through my neighborhood and so I asked them to slow down, to which they told me to "mind my own fuckin' business". shit like that, just so lame. only gets worse this time of year too, weather x holidays.

Right after work today this stupid lady called me an asshole for telling her she can't smoke at a gas station. She washed her friend's windows and puffed away on a cig as I pumped gas at the stall across from her. She even dared to say some stupid shit like "studies have shown that it's safer... blah blah blah" trying to rationalize that it's cool and safe to smoke cigs around a highly volatile and flammable fuel. I had a pretty long week and a particularly bad day and retorted by mocking her voice and saying "studies have shown that you are a stupid cunt."

To be fair, the chances of the gas vapors in that instance accumulating to a level where they would A) reach her cigarette tip and B) meet their lower explosive limit, are zero.

Fuck those people. And those people who have to move their hands very quickly because there is a wasp or a bee near their face. Exception might be if you are allergic to those stings.
But it ain't that hard. There is a bee near you. Stay calm and don't move. Let the bee sniff and check you out, then she will fly away and leave you alone. Same for most wasps too. Even for hornets, but I can understand when people are scared of hornets.

Already complained about it too much in the movie thread but I think I almost broke a tv trying to watch that fucking rebel moon movie. Mucked around with every setting on multiple TVs but you can never hear what anyone's saying unless you have the volume turned up to the max and then some flying car drives past in the background and the speakers blow out.
Anyway general "rule" for subtitles on tv is small tv with titles works good but a big tv with titles not so much. might as well just read a book because youre not really going to see half of what's happening

I totally agree. Being a non-English speaker, makes those poor mixes for stereo even harder to watch. I have no problem talking English (even on a business level), but those movies make me second guess my command of the English language…. Every time.
I have subtitles on by default on my Plex system at home, which also has a ton of customization features. Who needs 5.1 at home?

Not to shift the conversation, but I feel like the people who walk like that may have psychological/neurological issues. Knew a few people in my childhood who very clearly had those issues and they all walked like that. I think it might be linked to ASD.

also, what is the origin of tre flip? (obviously it's three flip language wise) but i mean where and when did this version pop off?

Yeah I feel the same way honestly I was just being cheeky. I feel like dudes of a certain age say three flip or 360 flip and around mid 2000s might have been where tre flip really started catching on.

When i was growing up there were quite a few older guys who called them "three-o flips". In Australia it's quite common to just whack an "O" on the end of a word/abbreviation. It's 360 flip to me though for sure. I'm not even down for for 3 flip really.
I did some skate lessons a while back and had a ten year old kind of arguing with me that a "360 flip" would have to be a 360 kickflip (as in board and body spinning) - i guess i can appreciate the confusion, especially when some older dudes call bs flips "180 flips" - but this kid wouldn't know about that..., to further the mess, I can remember numerous pros (kareem campbell comes to mind) calling 360 flips "360 kickflips".

Guess that becomes 360 kickflip vs kickflip 360. Could really shake things up and go lee flip and klien flip altho other people did those tricks first.

I kind of want to start wearing a helmet just to be safe, too.
But I don’t do gnarly transition, and don’t get too buck. I think I will next time I’m at an evergreen park though, cause pumping fast is good fun. Slam would be pretty gnarly at ~20-25 mph though for fellow elderly person like me (41)

Owning "the wrong car". You drive to work and back on your own everyday, you live in newbuild housing with perfect paved roads, you don't need a 2.5 tonne Range Rover or a pickup. You should have a hatchback. Save yourself money, hassle, trips to the petrol station and most importantly, save yourself from my watching eyes.
Driving to work sucks.

I'm sick of listening to people bash Jews.
I got a lost Pal on ig blowing out my dms on ig with the stupidity rants about killing Jews.
I gotta watch my best friend hop around with his stances on Israel because he's Jewish and has been tortured about it his whole life.
I come from a racist family background my brother and I have worked hard to break that.
Fools don't know our kids are Jewish. Via their mom.
I'll defend them with extreme prejudice. We talking death. A slow one. Cuz Nazis fuckin deserve it.
Say what you want about Israel or Hamas but if we're face to face you best not say the wrong shit about my family.
Ill fuckin make your body work funny. I don't fuckin care if you're Mike fuckin Tyson.
It should be a secret. Im not stomaching violence directed at my kids. I have zero fuckin problem with dealing with this.
People might get punched today
Because I can't deal with it and it should not be a secret.
You ain't antifa you racist.

People who can’t use a sauna without;

Yo! I’m a finn, these two are MANDATORY in sauna.
Groaning, huffing and puffing are what happens as a result.
Never no phones though.

Corrected my post about the door closing, meant to say not closing it tight.
As for the water splashing, I totally get why people do it, I enjoy the extra blast of heat myself. I’d just be pretty bummed if someone fried the thing by splashing it, and then the facility takes forever to fix it, or doesn’t bother.

Also people who put their towel on equipment to 'reserve' it, and then just leave for ten minutes. Usually their excuse is that they're doing some sort of speedy gym pentathlon, and I'm fucking up their gains or something. Mate, this is an overcrowded, underequipped, cheap ass gym, not your private, elite training facility.

Can you take a phone into a sauna? I've always assumed that's just going to fuck them up after a minute or two.
Not that I'd ever want to take my phone in though; I also like my saunas to be strictly anti-social.

I was kind of wondering about the heater thing, as there are many types of saunas, but finnish saunastoves always have rocks or ceramic plates that cover the heaters and are meant to be thrown water into.

I have a brother who stays with an ever-changing new girlfriend. Every month, this dude is on a trip we never heard about or is just about to get married to a new lady. Normally i'd be happy for him but he brings each next chick to group/family dinners and my family and I have the pleasure of asking the same questions and getting to know a lady 'we' all know (in the back of our mind) 'we' won't see again.
I don't know how to tell him to crush coochie on his own time and stop wasting ours, but it's happening repeatedly and i'm losing respect for someone who has made womanizing the priority, rather than spending time (working) on himself or helping his family.

(I don't actually care about anything I say in this thread - people can do whatever they want.)
People who say they are going to "build" a skateboard or that they "built" a skateboard.
Dictionary definition-wise they're not wrong; "construct (something) by putting parts or material together" - but I don't know, you're not BUILDING anything. You're assembling parts that are in a fully manufactured state that are designed to go together together. Like, you didn't measure, cut, treat, custom join, craft anything. (I guess if you use rails, you're making a decision of where to put them...)
But yeah, I don't know, super petty...it just feels like people are trying to claim they did more than they did by tightening some bolts and pushing a bearing into a wheel.
Maybe they're just using a word and thinking nothing of it.

While I personally wouldn't refer to setting up a skateboard as 'building', one can 'build' a computer or a shooting system in a similar way. Like you said, the act isn't being physically performed by you, but your money is a symbol for the work you've done in order to procure your materials. You are paying for the components and are assembling them or having someone else do it. That being said, paying another dude to set up your skateboard (as one might do with a rifle, computer, etc) would be WELL within the kook kommandments.

You know how you can instantly tell when someone is from "out of town," because they mispronounce the name of a common street, town, store, city, etc.? That's what "build" is. No real skateboarder uses that term. Only collectors and old dudes who haven't skated since they were a teenager use the term "build."

Recently learned of “main character syndrome/ energy” and I know a few people that seem to fit this shit.

I feel like the answer to this question probably has something to do with the fact that many of us interact with a multitude of people on any given day and an inordinate amount of those people are inconsiderate narcissistic assholes.
It’s actually possible to go through one’s day with a spirit of wanting to help others while also noticing that people are dicks because you have eyes that allow you to notice these things.

nah thats cap, you see yourself in others.
if u think everyone around you is a narcissist its because you're still thinking you're the most important person there. you're viewing the other people as thinking selfishly instead of about you + what you're doing as if a stranger needs to look out for some random bozo in target in an anti hero hat when they get cat food

With misanthropy as well various types of anti society and people I'll keep it simple and sweet. For me I only trust people at a face to face interaction, are people scum? not most of the time but I'd rather not be around the stupidity of others & not knowing social cues.
As a mild misanthrope I abhor small talk that doesn't involve action, I keep to myself and I like the world I live in, am I nice? Sure do I help if I can sure but I have my limits and boundaries whenever I'm surrounded by people.

When the train is really full, that is shitty to block seats with bags. But I always find it really strange when the train is empty and some stranger decides to sit directly next to me, instead of taking a seat where no other people are sitting. And I generally think, the seats in public transport need to be larger. I don't want to cuddle with strangers or smell them. My favorite interaction is like, I watch Mind Field on my phone and someone feels the need to tell me he used to skate. What answer does he expect? What should I say? "Congratulations" ?

That'd be fair except that the city does fix the basketball courts, the playground equipment, and the tennis courts. To say nothing of giving tax funding to the football stadium and walmart.

There's also the matter of how relevant or important the conversation is. Like at work, expecting me to focus on a story while working on something crucial might be a bit of a big ask, even if the story is interesting.
Other times I might seem un-invested because I'm actually bored - sorry...

I've had a few friends and family members do this thing where they ask a question like "what were you up to last night" and as I'm responding they just gaze off into dead air or do something else entirely without paying any attention to what I'm saying. Maybe it's an ADHD thing aswell?
I was just recently diagnosed but I always listen if I've asked someone a question

People who refer to themselves as an artist, how full of shit you must be to describe yourself as that kinda loser.
I would say that for people who describe themselves as an artist but dont actually create anything. If you are actually out there regularly trying to create stuff then yea you are an artist and can claim that title.

I look for any reason at all to think less of people so I have no obligations to anyone. I’m not even lying here. I hang out with one dude cuz he’s the only one that wasn’t a stupid bitch when my dad died so he gets a pass for life.
Long story medium.. when my dad died all my “friends” minus him… all acted like “ya boi gon be all down and depressed.. don’t invite him” type shit. So I hold a grudge on that for life.

I was kind of shocked when my dad passed away last year that literally only 1 friend was supportive in any capacity. I get that it's maybe uncomfortable for people, but yeah, fuck...
edit: just also recalling that a few acquaintances were more supportive than people i consider/ed actual "friends" - i try not to be bitter about it, but i definitely am.

Someone posted this on a photography forum I usually just browse around.

Looks like the average slap user's relation to skateboarding personified.

I hear this and I agree implicitly. I just find the overall identity of someone who throws the title out there without backing it up.
