Logo design credit goes to: tubbadu
Unjust justice systems designed to rob citizens.
An example: NYC cops will ticket you for not displaying a parking receipt on your dash even though you paid through their fucking ParkNYC app.
When you dispute the ticket they donβt give a fuck and just say βguiltyβ then charge you anyways.
That's fucking bullshit
Itβs a common goddamned problem enough to have its own google search category of people complaining.
That we as a society just accepted that cigarette butts aren't garbage. It's something smokers are allowed to toss everywhere because they can't be bothered.
Software that switched from: Yes/No
to: Yes/Ask Me Later.
I got angry just reading this!
I'd imagine some random cashier at a Walmart 2 years from now asking "Do you want your reciept?" and the options are "Yes / Maybe Later"
To this I sternly reply:
Ask me later!
The "Coaches" in Gran Turismo 7 on the licence tests.
Yes I'm having some trouble you smug fuckstain, I'm trying to gold every licence test. ITS HARD. I dont need to be constantly reminded.
Ads. I am so fucking sick of ads. I have ad blockers on many things and my next network project will be adding a pihole to my network for network ad block. Sick of it.
My husband has set up a pihole and itβs the best ever. It used to run off an actual raspberry pi but now we have a home server and he got it set up on there. Literally yesterday he also added Tailscale to our computers and phones and it seriously rocks my socks. I donβt even exactly know what it does but suddenly Iβm not getting any ads while at my in-laws house on their WiFi so, score! I am not tech savvy enough to know about these things, much less set them up myself, but I am super thankful that my husband aggressively hates ads and I get to benefit from his crusade against them.
I hate how a lot of men make the rest of us look bad. Can we just chill out for a bit? Like, can guys stop beating on their wives, molesting children, raping, and murdering? Please? Idk what to do besides just be chill myself and try to encourage others to be the same. Let's just read some books with some piano in the background.
It's an absolute shit show.
Women have it bad. Honestly I don't know how how you all have the patience to try to figure out which guy isn't a psycho.
As a cis het man, I know that alone is enough to make some women say "pass".
I feel like if men learned more about consent and empathy and stopped listening to assholes like Andrew Tate or Joe Rogan, we'd be in a much better state.
Daylight Saving time, Donald Trump & his supporters, the US healthcare "system", mosquitos, Christmas music, babies on airplanes, hangnails, bigotry and intolerance of other people's cultures, and the Dutch.
The bully who pretended to be my friend in order to hurt me.
Sorry you had to go through this.

Recently and a slightly hot take: reckless drivers/cyclists. My take is that urban planning should be pedestrian-centric so... And yes, I did specifically include cyclists too: I would prefer to be hit by a bike rather than an automobile, but I'd much rather prefer to not be hit by either
Ticks. And mosquitos.... And leaches and bot flies and and that one fish that swims up your dick hole of you pee in it's river... Really, I just want anything that's trying to put something in me or take something out for any fucking reason (without my consent) to fucking stop existing please. Leave me and my sad tired flesh alone! Also cars when we could have public transit.... Scratch that, I hate capitalism and all the things that would be obviously better with it gone.
People that donβt use their turn signals.
Fucking wifi. In fucking everything. Fuck wifi and fuck you.
I hate when an app tells me to take a picture of my driver's license
How shit a lot of modern tech is.
Fucking "modernized" everything that don't really add any value and are just gimmick.
All the city streets are filled with bright LEDs and digital billboards, and it just fucking hurts my eyes, man.
Not only that, all cars and houses now also got that blueish LEDs too. I mean, for fuck sake, have you heard of warm daylight (3000k) LEDs!?!?
You know those package that said "tear here" and then proceed to stuck half way and you have to take out your scissor and cut it anyway? Yeah, those, hate it.
Conservatism, probably. It's cruel and often self destructive.
That humans (all of us) are such emotional creatures and that we do often can't rise above it. You tell someone a fact they don't like and the brain just shuts that down.
These feel related somehow
Whatever MS office turned into and that I still have to work with it.
And how governments of "first world" countries so openly shit all over the citizens they should take care of. It's not new but I feel like we're reaching a new low every day and no matter where you look at, it's the same just in different extremes.
Human suffering.
I hate being expected to observe holidays that were created on a foundation of racial and cultural obliteration.
I would like to add a holiday that once celebrated peace, but now celebrates militarism and war: Veterans Day (US). Not long ago, it was St. Martinβs day, a feast that commemorates a Roman soldier who abandoned his military office to become a monk. It was customary to sign peace treaties on his feast day for this reason. Included in this was Armistice Day, the end of World War 1. Eventually in the US this was changed to Veterans Day in 1954.
I hate watching a youtube video where they bleep the cursing instead of muting it. Those high-pitch bleeps hurt my ears.
According to Ozzy Man Reviews, if you don't curse within the first 8 seconds the video doesn't get demonitized.

Excessively talkative people who tell you everything about their life - but take zero interest in yours.
Companies that make you jump through hoops when you call them and force you listen to recorded messages about how you can get what you need on-line, before they finally put you through to a call-centre in India.
