If you're going to make excuses for Facists, PICK THE RIGHT loving FACIST.

MUSSOLINI made the trains run on time. This is well-known.

Just one more reason to dislike him.

If your car has keyless remote entry the doors had better be unlocked before the first passenger reaches the car. gently caress that poo poo about waiting for the driver to reach their door, only then do they start pulling out their keys, and then unlock the doors with the remote. Nah, it's cool. We'll all just stand here with our thumbs up our asses because you don't have enough foresight to think about something 15 seconds away.

Oh gently caress this. gently caress this long and hard and sideways. This fills me with such mind numbing rage for no loving reason. No one is gonna run to your car while we are three feet away and jump in once you've unlocked it, hotwire it, and then drive off laughing. "HA HA, You've played right into my devious scheme! I was waiting right by this car for the whole two hours you were in the movie and now your car is mine! Ha!" Unlock the door do it now unlock it we are three feet away unlock it.

Wasn't there a historical study done on this and they found evidence that Mussolini did not, in fact, make the trains run on time?

If you're going to pedant people on fascism, learn to loving spell "fascism". "Facist" is the most annoying thing on the earth to see when engaged in a serious political discussion.

It really annoys me when I meet up with friends, some of their friends I don't know are there and I am not introduced to them.

Listening to posters (both here and on Facebook) drivel on about their loving pregnancy for dozens of posts in a situation where the vast, vast majority of the people reading the thread do not give a solitary gently caress about their OBGYN/childbirth problems.

Yep and then you block them but they get quoted anyway, so it's totally pointless.

Edit: Thank gently caress, new mod rule. No more hearing about that poo poo.

I mean, yeah, he was pretty evil, but he sort of redeemed himself when he killed Hitler.

I was in a big sports shop today and noticed that they sell Power Balance Wristbands, also know as expensive pieces of plastic that do absolutely nothing.
They even had some with official emblems of big German football clubs like FC Bayern Muenchen on them. Why do actual sport clubs support this kind of fraud?

This reminded me of a woman I used to carpool with who wouldn't let the passengers in until she was finished farting around with whatevever. Usually this involved opening the back (she had a hatchback or a wagon-ish type of car, can't remember now), propping it open with a stick, putting her bag in, arranging it just so, poking around at whatever else was back there, then finally removing the stick and allowing her hot/windblown/drenched/freezing/delete as applicable passengers into the car.

On the baby/pregnancy rage -- congrats to those who are expecting! I am not anti-baby. However, my September Reader's Digest just arrived (shut up, it was a Christmas gift) and the cover shows a bright-eyed baby (cute) -- apparently this is the motherhood issue! As if the other 11 issues a year aren't! Similarly, I found the P&G Olympic ads extolling the wonders and sacrifices of motherhood equally grating. Motherhood and babies are wonderful things but can we please stop creating cults around them?

Why not go to the bank and withdraw a roll of quarters? Unless you are doing this at like 3 am when banks aren't open. I used to just go to Walgreen's and buy a drink with my debit card, get $10 cash back, and then go to a bank, but that was mostly because I lived in an area without branches of my bank. Related rant: I used to live in Delaware, where nearly every major US bank has a home office. This includes Chase, where I do most of my banking. Why the gently caress didn't they have any branches in the entire state? I could drive north into NJ and find a branch no problem, but god forbid they have branches in Delaware!

The guy who does the voice for the Binder and Binder commercials on TV makes me want to stab out my eardrums. He talks directly onto the microphone, like the Family Guy skit making fun of NPR/leaving the radio on for your dog. I see their commercials a lot more now, either because I've been watching more TV lately or because I now live in Florida. I almost have to mute it every time.

I hate it when networks play the same 2-3 commercials over and over, especially when it's for other shows on the network or a sister channel or whatever. I watched a lot of Natural Geographic or something a week ago and they kept playing this annoying commercial for Cesar Milan that not only was played every single commercial break but also involved him? singing and an alarm clock noise. Using alarm clock noises in advertisements should be illegal, it's worse than nails on a loving chalkboard for me.

Phone, why did you just restart yourself? I just wanted to turn the screen on so I could see what that notification was. I'm sorry I pressed the button 3 times in 30 seconds because the screen didn't come on the first time! God drat. Is it May yet? I need a new phone.

FC Bayern Munchen are smart enough to know to take free money when its offered. Many players across the world also buy into this bunkum as well and people tend to do things in imitations of athletes so why not make some scratch off of it?
