Spalec posted:I hate the "BEING A MOM IS THE HARDEST JOB EVER" attitude. It's not. It's probably not even in the top 50%. I always wonder what firefighters, coal miners or lumberjacks think of some sheltered suburban mom who thinks a stressful day is when the neighbour mows the lawn and wakes up little baby Astrid. I doubt they have that much sympathy. My mother was one of those kinds of mothers. I remember her beating the poo poo out of me so bad at one point she cut my sibling's face open with her engagement ring. If facebook existed at the time she'd be posting non stop about how hard it is to be a stay at home mom and how nobody understands all the things she does for her kids - like throwing chicken nuggets and fries in the oven for dinner every night and drinking on the couch while I fell down the stairs. The people posting about how good of a mom they are rarely are. That's my pet peeve is people who focus on other people's success (or failures) rather than being happy with what they're doing. Endless posting on facebook about "why does this person get more jobs than me?!" when they don't even do the jobs they already have. Just endless whining and bitching. Get over yourselves and do something before you whine at least.

Bertrand Hustle posted:My peeve now is teenagers. It's always something with these kids. I'm 27 and going back to school, and some of my classmates can be incredibly childish. When they're not bitching about what an rear end in a top hat one professor is for expecting them to show up on time for exams, they're getting bent out of shape over stupid bullshit. At my old art college there was a huge group of lovely girls who thought themselves to be the pinnacle of feminism and all things social justice. Of course this lead them to bullying a few of the lesbian girls in our classes because one of them wanted to date one of their girlfriends and got mad she was already in a relationship. They also loved going on facebook and ranting and raving about whatever the gently caress got up their rear end that day - For a few months it was non stop posting on a teacher's public profile about what a disgusting old man he was. Dude's only sin is that he's an older dude in a different generation with different ideas on how designs should be. He'd even came to classes and put the pictures the girls were freaking out on up on the powerpoint and asked us all if we had issues with it and if it was something we should talk about as a class. Of course they all stayed quiet as a mouse in the back of the room and just glared. Turns out he's quitting, and the school decided it was too hard to find a suitable replacement so they're getting whoever they can as part timers to teach at a level far lower than the old teacher used to. They've also taught the younger years how to be as lovely or worse than them because they now know that if they whine enough and accuse people of being rapists for making jokes they can get their way at the expense of their education and people's careers. gently caress tumblr sjws and their ilk. I can't stand people who will bitch and whine but when it comes to actually changing things or trying to make it better they immediately run off to cry about how they don't have enough spoons for it.

Present posted:What's a kill shelter? Kill shelters are when the shelter will accept almost any animal surrendered to it and euthanize any animal they deem necessary due to health or behavioural problems. This means people can drop off an animal that's perfectly healthy except it has parasites or feline HIV and most kill shelters will put them down to stop it from potentially spreading to the other animals. They'll also put down animals who are suffering from terminal illnesses even if long term care can give them a few more years of life. No kills keep the animal alive regardless and try to foster/adopt them out despite their health problems, behavioral issues or age. Either form of shelter can be horrifically cruel - there's a lot of kill shelters that will euthanize any cat too young or too old (they're not cute anymore!), and there's a lot of no kill shelters where the people running it cut corners and are bat poo poo insane.

Panniculus Rift posted:You guys are idiots. I'm pretty sure most cats would prefer to spend some time outside, even with the miniscule chance of dying, rather than being locked up inside your smelly apartments for the entirety of their existence. I'm sure dogs do too, but we don't allow them to run freely and maul small animals. I find it so weird that cats are little murder machines but somehow we think it's acceptable, especially to let them out without leashing or supervising them. Cats will wear harnesses, you can walk them just fine as long as you give them enough time or train them. I hate that people won't spay their cats if they're outdoors ones because kittens are soooo cute and you can just give them away when they're too old to be cute anymore! Ugh.

walrusman posted:You're right, it's not something that child has to write on every homework assignment, credit card receipt, or legal document for the next 80 years or anything. I kinda agree with this sentiment. For some reason my mother named me Kara which should be pronounced sorta like Car-rah. Instead, my mom wanted to be super duper unique and forced everyone to pronounce it like Care-Ah...which is spelt like Cara. I've had so many people gently caress it up that I switched over to just pronouncing it the proper way since it's way easier than correcting people. It really sucks because it sounds so completely unnatural to me. Don't be a dick and name your kids something lovely. Or if you do at least give them a name they can shorten to something common so they won't have to deal with this.

Female characters in videogames. I don't give two shits if they have boobie plate or breast molded chestpieces, but could we have one or two that don't? That's all I'm asking for. You can have a billion male characters and monsters that are dudes to your hearts content, but it's like every single game studio thinks every single female character should be tits mcgee. Welp jobs done everyone, every lady (ie 1-3 playable characters) has massive knockers, revealing clothing and is a dumb support character. Even Evolve, the game where the only female monster has tits and rear end, has a grandmother in a giant homemade mech suit.

It'd take too long to explain with words, but these fuckers who show up in the corner store line. They basically inch forward slowly until they're almost up your rear end, then lean over you blocking you in so they can try to put their stuff down instead of waiting you to finish paying and walking away. So now you have to basically back up into their dick and apologize because how dare you touch them and get in their way of buying energy drinks and cat food. They always loving do it when I'm paying with a debit card too so I'm trapped there and can't just shuffle to one side. If the other cashier is there they effectively block off people from being able to walk over to them too, so everyone else in line gets pissed at both of you for holding them up. Fuuuuuuck these guys.

Parasol Prophet posted:"Well I always say if you're early, you're on time, and if you're on time, you're late." I think the idea is that if you arrive just on time you have to take a few extra minutes to settle in, get your coat off, find a seat, etc. So by showing up a few minutes early you can do all that before it's the scheduled time and be actually ready to start on time. My parents were hideously out of date with working outside their cushy jobs and thinks showing up 30 minutes early to every shift (and work off the clock) is acceptable. No, if my job starts at a certain time I'll be there and ready by that time. Before that, gently caress off I ain't doing poo poo unpaid.

I'm more pissed that nobody was explaining what the hell the floor pizza story was. People post references to that all the goddamn time now but not a single person will explain the full extent of the depravity.

Nuebot posted:Oh poo poo pet peeve. I just saw The Martian today and someone brought their kid with them and it was obvious that the kid has zero interest in the movie because he spent the whole film making noise, playing with the empty seats next to him and shaking the ice in his empty cup. So I really don't like people who bring kids to movies that won't just entertain them. When I got dragged to the first resident evil movie there was a man with 3-4 little kids. Probably under the age of 10 little. After the first scene where the woman jumps off the roof and dies the movie goes quiet as it transitions to the title screen. In that short break everyone in the theatre heard of the kids start crying and say "Dad I don't like this anymore" and the father hushing him loudly. Every so often you could hear the five year old whimper and the kids trying to get their dad to leave. Parents like that should be dragged out of the theatre and beaten out back while their kids get to eat candy in the lobby.

Which means some dumb rear end in a top hat who went to college for HR is going through applications and portfolios, having never studied art, and becoming the gatekeeper based on absurd things like whether your cover letter has all the right buzzwords they want to read in it. On the otherhand, indie startups and studios will ask for the stupidest loving poo poo in their applications. "What board games do you like playing!?" "Please note we make humour a huge part of our workplace which actually means we're all racist and sexist and if you call us out on it we'll fire you" "What do you think about gamergate?!" It can't ever just be that sweetspot between personal and professional.

Cowslips Warren posted:Middle class to wealthy white men complaining that racism is really over and you're the real racist if you point something out. At ASU there's some stupid "blackout game" this weekend and last year a bunch of dumb fuckers painted their faces black to celebrate/show school spirit? Well clearly some frat white bros doing blackface is going to piss off some people, so this year no face paint, at all, any color. And everyone is bitching that it's the Liberal PC Police when there was nothing racist at ALL about painting your face and hands black to scream and cheer at a college football game. To expand on this point, I hate that people have turned the definition of racism into institutionalized racism and then started dismissing anything that's not white on non-white racism. The Korean girls I knew were the nicest people you'd ever met until you mentioned Japan. My Chinese aunt would loudly complain about Filipino women and how they're only good for being maids. I was woken up today by a gay black man screaming racial and homophobic slurs at another gay man outside my window this morning Like yeah racism between asian people isn't a "big deal" if you live in a Western country, but christ, it isn't any nicer.

I hope your folks nailed that rear end in a top hat doctor to the wall. Nothing will ever happen about stuff like that. I went to the hospital in an ambulance after I got raped (I didn't have a car or money for a taxi) and the paramedic spent the entire ride saying I was just faking it, I'm just a stupid whore who regrets having sex, think about who's life I'm going to ruin if I report the guy for the "not rape." I guess because I wasn't hysterically crying with mascara all over the place I couldn't be a victim? Just generally disgusting stuff like that while his partner nodded. The ambulance service charged me for a "non emergency ride." I tried to contest it but it became too much of a hassle. Medical care anywhere is hosed.

I've asked every doctor I've had whether a hysterectomy would be possible because of a host of not super serious but really loving terrible medical issues. One is that I bleed waaay more than you should on a period, like 10-15x more than you should. I've had to measure it and report to my doc and they were surprised I wasn't dying of anemia. My hormones are all over the place. I never want children but every single time I ask I just get told that I'll change my mind because all women want to have tonnes of babies and how could they deny me that? Even getting a non hormonal IUD in was a pain in the rear end because every doctor started screeching that I haven't had kids, what if something goes wrong and I can't have kids, I'm too young and should be thinking about having kids (I'm close to being 30 now). And then a guy can walk into any clinic and get a vasectomy no problem. Ughh.

KoB posted:My mom shared a thing on facebook basically telling people instead of giving gifts/etc big christmas thing they should downsize and just spend time with their families and stuff. My mother used to have toddler type break downs, walking around the house crying and yelling that nobody loved her because none of us would come spend 6 hours decorating the entire house in kitschy Christmas crap with her. Or play bridge with her instead of watching holiday cartoons. Hell, she once locked herself in her room screaming and crying about how Christmas forever and ever was ruined because I couldn't fake being happy to receive nothing but several massive giftbaskets of body wash crap and an electric toothbrush. Her fault though, she knew that I have perfume allergies  Holidays turn sane people stressed and crazy people crazier. They should just do away with all of this stupid Christmas poo poo since it's a holiday that exists purely for gift giving and chowing down on grandma's lovely dry rear end turkey at this point.

teenytinymouse posted:Yeah that's the exact "it doesn't matter" attitude I'm hating. It does matter and I don't understand why you'd get any animal only to not give a stinky, wet poo poo about what it eats or how it behaves or if it's actually happy. Well, I do understand, it's because you're a lazy garbage person. Animals are loving stupid. My cat will eat his own fur off his body as I try to brush him. Then he'll crawl under the bed and try to find dust bunnies to eat. A poodle my family used to own would scream and shake, poo poo itself, then eat the poo poo and puke it up only to try to eat it again. If I had to walk him he'd start eating other animal's poo poo off the sidewalk. You could put anything in that stupid gently caress's food bowl and he'd eat it up. They don't need gourmet frozen raw mince mix or lovely overpriced gourmet kibble. If it's something like buying bird seed for small parrots where they'll die in less than half their life span yeah, it makes sense to give a poo poo and buy the more expensive food. Otherwise half the fancy poo poo sold at a markup is just as garbage as the generic walmart brands, just with half the ingredients relisted as something else. "Has no wheat!" but is full of soy and corn at the same ratios and price of 3x the shittier named brand stuff. Hell, just look at the poo poo Blue Buffalo was pulling for years before they got taken to court over it. I was paying $50-60 a month on that poo poo food because it claimed it didn't use byproduct or animal meal but NOPE! The majority of the protein was made up of it. Fuckers. I hate people who go on about their pets like this. If I can live off ramen and garbage poor people food my cat can too on his kitty equivalent.

The worst was "declawed cats okay." WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU. Cats are destructive as gently caress and unless it's your furniture getting mauled you don't really have the right to try to force someone to deal with it when it's your cat that's the problem. My cat came declawed on the from from the shelter and I wouldn't have taken him had he not. He paws at everything; the walls, the bed, my leg, door jams, everything. It wasn't a problem when he was the sole cat but I moved in with a couple who decided to get two kittens. Of course the kittens weren't declawed or even had nail covers on, and my cat ended up teaching them within a month to scratch everything in their reach into ribbons. Their nice leather couch had stuffing falling out of the sides and seats by the time I moved out. The walls had huge gouges. The couple were both overworked so they didn't notice until it had gotten horrifyingly bad and I was on my way out. Had I had known at the time too I would have never moved in for those few months. Cats are little poo poo machines who will destroy everything you love if you let them. I fully support landlords not letting tenants pass that poo poo off as "normal wear and tear."

Indie game devs who have no idea what they're creating for the public is a game, not a masturbatory piece of art that should bring them lots of money without the criticism or financial risks of being a game. If people wanted to support YOU they would have gone and donated to the kickstarter or your patreon. Crying about how they totally spent soooooooo long living in a crappy apartment so you, the ungrateful unsophisticated philistine of a gamer, could buy their piece of ~*~*art~*~*~ is just so self centered and childish. Tonnes of people in the industry live lovely little lives in lovely little apartments and most of them aren't whining about how gamers need to "pay them back" for development expenses.
