Ask Lemmy

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.

I hate when an app tells me to take a picture of my driver's license

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.

I hate when people are needlessly negative.

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.

I hate being expected to observe holidays that were created on a foundation of racial and cultural obliteration.

I hate that most people's ideas of success is to earn lots of money and buy expensive things, rather than help the community.

Nazis

• Stores putting out Christmas merchandise before Halloween.
• People who use their phones while driving.
• Littering.

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.

Gambling loops put into most mobile games, especially when targeting children.

Depression

What the fuck

What the actual fuck

What the actual fucking fuck is this stupid ass bullshit

It's outrageous! It's unfair!

So you're telling me, I could just live a normal life, but a part of my brain is getting rebellious and won't cooperate, spreading negativity propaganda to the rest of my brain?

What. The. Fuck?!?

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

The bully who pretended to be my friend in order to hurt me.

Americans putting their thanksgiving in November.

WTF is wrong with you guys. It's 4 weeks to Christmas, you need to spread your food based holidays out better.

Easter, Independence Day, then fucking nothing until bam, Thanksgiving and Christmas back to back.

I don't want to hear about Labour day being a feast, it's a day off work to celebrate working. Stupid fucking holiday.

Yes! Let the hate flow through you!

Feel the true power of the dark side!

The general state of the world / our collective inability to learn from history.

I hate that people dont just hit "fuck it" and go full French revolution on billionaires when they see them.

I hate when you go to tie something down in a truck and the tie downs you have suck so they aren't the right length and you have to awkwardly tie them to the hitch and then you do a terrible job anyway

Exceptionalism.

The kind that says “I’m special, but you aren’t”

The kind that lets billionaires exist and fuck with national politics and laws. The kind that lets rich people or corporations off of crimes with little or no punishment. The kind that lets a religious person use their religion to be shitty in any way, as a shield or a cudgel. The kind that lets someone festoon their pickup with LED lights and a squat so you’re blinded at night when they’re coming at you or tailgating you.

All of them think they’re special and the rules don’t apply, they don’t care how it affects those around them - or others are to be exploited.

I hate when people don't know how to act in a restaurant. I can tolerate it in tourists from abroad, that's excusable ignorance. But by the stars, some people never left the five hundred mile radius of where they were born and still never learned basic things like "don't treat service staff like trained animals" or "don't say you're ready to order until you know what you want" or "wait for a host or other staff to seat you instead of sitting down at the only dirty table and then complaining that you don't have a menu and your table is dirty" or "the number of people in your party includes all people, not just adults" or "you can't just order things from random people walking by".

Ugh.

Capitalism

That reality is so incredibly fucked up on a fundamental, physical level.

You're telling me that if I do nothing, my room will get messy, my house will decay, my machines will break down. But somehow matter magically organizes itself into life?

Fuck all the way off.

That I can't find a job in America.

MAGA and Assfuck Trump..

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 don’t give a fuck and just say “guilty” then charge you anyways.

The fact that horrible fascist and billionaire ghouls living in their 90s+ while people that did nothing heinous or actual good in the world are dying of cancer, heart attacks, aneurysms etc.

It's not fucking fair and and Billy Joel was right when he said only the good die young

Makes we believe that there isn't any omnipotent being out there or perhaps this universe is the bad place

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.

It'd be quicker for me to list what I don't hate these days, but I guess the main stuff that makes me tilt is:

Capitalism, billionaires, billionaires' bootlickers, ~~conservatives~~ fascists, state surveillance, bloated anti-user and anti-freedom (i.e. modern) software, anti-intellectualism, being in a "post-truth" era, AI slopaganda, and the relatively general apathy to all of that and lack of solidarity amongst us working people (at least where I live).

Bots

Billionaires

Billionaire-bootlickers

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.

My lack of discipline when it comes to drinking and eating

The fact that my body has taken to waking me up at 4am

Gossipy people.

AT&T. We recently had an issue where our internet stopped working properly. My mom had to call them four times before they actually fixed our internet. The first time, she was put on hold for about 40 minutes before either the call ended itself or they hung up. The second time, she actually got through to someone but they didn't fix our internet and instead told us that our current internet package would soon be phased out and then spent about half an hour basically forcing her to getting something called "AT&T Air".

The third time she called, my mom told them that she didn't want AT&T Air and that if she can't use the package we have now, then we'll be switching ISPs. The woman on the phone said that she'll cancel the new package and put her on hold for about half an hour but she never did actually cancel the package or fix our internet, and she also never returned so my mom just hung up on her. The fourth time she called, the guy on the phone ran a diagnosis on our internet and finally fixed it within a few minutes. We have no idea why it took so long for them to do this but we're glad to finally have working internet.

But even though we do now have working internet, we are still thinking about switching ISPs. Even though they did send the equipment to use AT&T Air, we are not going to use it and we are going to send it back and try to get them to actually cancel the package. We aren't sure exactly when we are going to switch ISPs but my mom stated she wants to wait until after the holidays to do so, which probably means no sooner than January.

I fucking hate SQL. It’s “standardized”, but not in a way that makes anything about it interoperable between vendors. It’s insecure as fuck, unless you’re extremely careful. Every single SQL server has its own way of doing things, and you have to know it intimately to be able to use it effectively.

That being said, SQL is pretty cool. It kills aliens and doesn’t afraid of anything.

Willful ignorance.

People that don’t use their turn signals.

Republicans

America

Every single person now thinks they're smarter than everyone else. No matter what their political leanings are, they're all smarter than everyone else. Smarter than:

• Doctors
• Scientists
• Engineers
• Economists

It's absolutely ridiculous and it started sometime around the 90s around when Ross Perot first ran for president and it just got worse with social media.

That's the real problem right now. Everyone thinks they know more than people who spent decades studying and becoming experts in their field.
