I wish the local classical music station would actually play classical music more. Does anyone care about whatever minutia about such-and-such composer or concert or piece they talk about in the spotlight sections? Why do they still need to announce the time when you can get the time practically everywhere else?

>>12292
A lot of the things that used to bother me don't anymore.

I guess when one grows beyond hating people and things then hate seems meaningless.

I don't like to go down to the street, because it really irritates me when people walk, talk to themselves and each other, use their telephone, shout, whistle, throw away trash, search trash cans, tap with their hands and feet, stink, mouthbreathe, cry, laugh, complain, boast, drive their car, smoke, eat, drink, etc. Which is just about everything.

4chan shit. There's been times I've started to watch a game video on youtube and I'll see they used the word "lulz" or whatever in the description and I'll just sigh and close the video.

Having to work.

Eating. Such a pain in the ass. Every day. Stomach grumbling. I eat and eat and then eat some more but it's never enough. I look through the fridge but I never find anything I like. It's all such a hassle.

>>12304
Yeah. It sucks. Most of the time, I go back and forth from the pantry to the fridge like an Alzheimer's patient, trying to find something I want to eat.

Bug me? Red nail polish, and nail polish colours in general that doesn't even remotely match what the person is wearing.

Things that genuinely piss me off? Anything that comes from the retarded userbases of 4chan and Reddit, and all of 9gag and FunnyJunk. You know, the rage faces shit, "memes" like business cat and hipster dog, recycling shit from years ago that's already old and unfunny, and genuinely thinking that they're the internet, and have made all the content on the internet.

>>12306
this. people who spew the same exact unfunny garbage at each other and everyone else as if it's the funniest thing ever. like the "arrow to the knee" picture was funny when i saw it once. Once. then people said it fucking constantly about everything, youtube comments that mention it get thousands of likes, people get tattoos of it.

it's like internet humor has terminal cancer

The stupidity of the general population and my own inability to become a better person. I can't even be nice to others for a day because I get so caught up in how they act.

4chan shit that gets posted on tc and memes in subs.

People who use a different mug/glass every time they have a drink.

People who think anime is a genre, they watch stuff like dumb shonen shows just because theyre anime.

People who only watch fansubs even when there is a free legal stream.

People who drive cars, eat meat and do whatever else without a thought for the environmental implications. The attitude of "I cant make a difference so why should I bother?".

>>12306
I feel u but doesnt the older 4chan generation have to pass the torch eventually?

>>12304
I just woke up and I feel like I'm starving. Even though I had a big meal last night, wtf.

>>12310

people who type like this

>>12311

>People who drive cars, eat meat and do whatever else without a thought for the environmental implications. The attitude of "I cant make a difference so why should I bother?"
Most people right now are too busy thinking of how to stay out of poverty to consider getting a hybrid to feel good about the placebo they bought.

And meat? Really? What the fuck is wrong with eating meat? I'm against the fact that a lot of places where they raise cattle for meat have awfully unsanitary conditions, but still.

It's amazing how much in common I have with most of the people in this thread. Except >>12310­.

>>12316
hey now, ironic shitposting is still shitposting

>>12317
also where/were and there/their

>>12299
are you me?

Sour rice breath. I usually have to put up with it when male international students talk to me.

When people say 'fml'. I don't want to hear you complain about how your life is shit. Go do something about it, passively complaining isn't going to change shit.

Touching greasy/dirty public surfaces like fast food tables, mouses and keyboards, those straps and poles you're meant to hold when on the bus, doorknobs (especially those of toilets).

The people who type "could of" instead of "could have" annoy me

Money. It corrupts and complicates everything.

I hate listening to people speak. Like, whenever I hear someone speak, I think of how to phonetically spell what they are saying, and come up with things like

"Awgh, thaets awfaw, yeu shid gyet thet chikd owt."

I then want to punch these people in the face, and it makes me end up minding my own diction and speaking very carefully and accentuate my syllables, and make sure vowels stay with their selected readings. O seems to become A a lot in the US... Also T and D mix a lot. Really, lazy mouth is a huge issue I notice and it bugs me. So does vocal fry, and for christs sake, 3DPD here actually WANT to sound like C3P0 being drowned in lime jello.

Basically people talking makes me mad.

Also, watching how audiences act on talk shows sometimes makes me think the only things that separate chimpanzees on crack and humans is clothes, and even that wall is being torn down...

Websites like Memegenerator, Know Your Meme, and others that use copyright-free entertainment and profit off of it, and also kill it. I feel ashamed of myself for liking lolcats and reaction images now. It's all the property of fourteen year old kids making family guy references now.

Children who watch (western) cartoons and think they should be overly rambunctious and overanimate their expressions because of it. Once in a restaurant, a kid tried his father's curry, and he ran around the table making loud siren noises with his mouth open, waving his hands, and asking if fire is coming out of his mouth. Haruhidamn, if my kid did that, I'd backhand him and destroy every Disney DVD he ever owned, and block all the cartoon channels on the cable and make him watch Ponyo.

People who are always insincere or speak without reason. It's worse than lying to me.

People accepting the easily preventable. People throwing away perfectly good clothes because going to a goodwill bin is too much effort, even if it's on the way to the dump.

Not being able to do something because I lack motivation, and feel fatigued by just the thought of it, even if I really want to do something, and I end up not doing it.

People not caring about their outward appearances. Like how people wear pajamas in public now. What the fuck is this? Stay home if you're that reluctant to interact with society. I can't wait to see what people wear twenty years from now. Will it be depends and a Bud Light box?

Finding things in Walmart. Go to Walmart and try to find 1: a red bandanna, 2: a box of original Oreos, not double stuf or inside out, and 3: Original Twizzlers. Of note, I found out that the price match guarantee works like this: "Oh, you found an item that is cheaper somewhere else? Well, we're going to strike this item from our inventory and carry either an obscure, useless variant or a competetor's brand of it. We only match prices on items with matching UPCs, anyways!" I hate Walmart and it is the only store I condone, and even encourage, shoplifting from.

Using internet terminology in regular speaking.

I think I may be done.

>>12329
>Children who watch (western) cartoons and think they should be overly rambunctious and overanimate their expressions because of it.
Pretty sure plenty of weeabos do this as well. Like, gaia kids and that sort of people.

>>12330
They do, but it's a bit different.

People get pissed at the weeaboos (good) but when a kid does the whole Wile E Coyote bit they just laugh and say "cute." Not okay.

Store workers saying "Hello!" whenever a customer walks in. Especially when they have one person stationed at the doorway just for that reason. It's so fake it hurts.

Being bugged with "Can I help you, sir?" when I'm just looking around or trying to find something on my own.

Hairy women. More so than other 3DPD women.

The way fat people grunt and groan when going about everyday tasks. It's not that I hate fat people, in fact I quite like the "jolly" look some of the older ones have to them. But this particular thing really pisses me off for some reason.

People who claim to be gay or have some kind of mental condition in an attempt to add something unique to their bland, boring personalities.

Old-fashioned people. Asking a legitimate question about something that makes little sense and being told "that's just the way it's always been, just do it."

People who force their definitions of "doing the right thing," "being a good person" and "becoming a better person" on others, as if they are some unspoken rule that must be followed, rather than individual morals and opinions. Especially when the person fails to realize that they do what they believe to be "the right thing" only for their own satisfaction, acting like they're some kind of Haruhidamn saint.

Modern 4chan culture (and what it has created) in general.

People who start games and never finish them. Not because of lack of fun, but they just sort of drift off onto something else and leave it abandoned forever.

Vegetarians by choice. The ones who preach to everybody else about how great their lifestyle is and how everybody else is a murderous savage.

People who get upset over very small things. I'm not meaning the kinds of things in this thread, but things such as the way you look at somebody, they way you stand, your tone of voice. The way they point these things out to you as if you should constantly be considering whatever they may be thinking about you and how you can tip-toe around them, changing yourself for the sake of every little stranger you come across.

People who only scrape the very surface of a medium of entertainment rather than digging deeper and finding the true gems, enabling them to form a unique and interesting opinion.

The worst, for me, is people/society still being controlled by "human nature." Come on, we're past that. Enough obeying "instincts" and screwing some drunken whore in an attempt to carry on the human race while not even understanding what it is that's driving you to do such a disgusting thing. Enough feeling as if you need to form a group and take safety in numbers, to fit in. I'm sick of people claiming that being "human" is the best way to live. Taking pride in being human, something you put no effort into yourself. I believe the world would be a better place if we all acted a little less human.

This post came out longer than I thought it would.

Drive up windows and food service in general, when they say incorrect variants of "How may I help you?" Most often it's "Can I help you?" No, I just came up to this window to chat. Of course you can, you're qualified and I have no other reason to be in contact with you.

>>12338
what bugs me about drive throughs, is that most of the time, the first thing they say is asking you if you want a blahblahblah.
feels almost wired to say no, and rude to ignore it and just place your order.

The sound of people chewing.

I absolutely hate it. It's unbearable for me.

>>12340
I'm always thinking of my chewing volume when I'm eating around other people.
Even my breathing volume is a concern for me, since my nose got broken I feel like its pretty loud. I know it sounds dumb but this is a big deal for me when I'm on the train and I have my ipod plugged in.

>>12340
Oh Haruhi, my dad ALWAYS chews with his mouth open and it bugs the shit out of me.

>>12340
This is probably my biggest annoyance. I can't eat downstairs at all because of the sound of eating or other people breathing close to me.

My mum likes to have the TV on, pretty much all the time, with the volume at crazy enough levels that she can't hear anything I say if I come downstairs. Alternatively she'll be blasting music from shitty laptop speakers with it sitting on her lap, completely unaware of the existence of headphones.

Unnecessary noise in general bugs me. She has some of her friends over about once a month and from what I tell they practically shout throughout the evening. People don't seem to appreciate quietness. It's the main reason I like to stay up all night and sleep through the day.

>>12338
I said that to a guy the other day. He called me a crackhead.
You'd be surprised how many people really do just stand around the counter that don't need anything. So it was a valid question. In drivethru I usually say 'What can I get for ya'
>>12337
you're supposed to greet people no matter what, supposed to help em feel welcome. also it helps to deter thieves. It's like saying, hi, I see you. don't take our crap.

What annoys me is people who care more about animals than humans.

And people who leave their trash on the table as opposed to throwing it away.
Littering in general pisses me off. I've kept trash in my pockets all day just to not litter.

People blaring shitty music in their car. I don't want to hear your music. Turn it the eff down.
People trying to talk to you, while on the cell phone. Cell phone games. I think they're retarded wastes of time.

>>12344
Reminds me, I heard a story on the news yesterday about these parents who didn't take their cancer-ridden 8 year old son to the hospital because they didn't have the money, in their words, but did take the trouble to get their dog un-fleaed (?) at the vet's office. I raged pretty badly at that.

It's not even like they went to the hospital and were turned away, they didn't even try to do anything and just let the kid basically rot to death. But oh Haruhi forbid their precious dog has fleas. Thankfully, they are now in prison.

Lies. Including fiction of all kinds.

Once I was asked if I wanted the new sandwich they came out with at some place. I said no thank you (out of habit) and promptly asked... for the new sandwich they came out with.

I am the bestest at ordering.

>>12356

People who think religion is hereditary.
>I'm Protestant

Then you aren't a Christian! What kind of stupidity is that!?

>>12361
Thank you Fox News, for making the ignorant masses believe that religion works in this fashion.

Last 2 months I've been trying to buy one dakimakura made by one specific doujin circle. Seller who I've been contacting types really bad English and time to answer my emails usually takes very long(weeks). Two weeks ago I got his paypal and I sent the payment but I still haven't received any answer. I am so annoyed but I hope all of this is worth of it.

Cosplaying and conventions.
It makes me very angry to see people dress up as characters they've seen only a few times and declare they're huge fans of wherever the character is from. To top it off, the people who take part in these things are the lowest of the low, doing it for attention or sex at said conventions.

The fighting game community, or any "Hardcore" gaming community for that matter.
A bunch of assholes who latch on to anything they can find to make a shitty meme so they can say that they have some kind of "in" jokes. The starcraft deal is something like this as well.

>>12365
>Cosplaying

This. 3D trying to impersonate perfect 2D disgusts me.

>>12365
Oh Haruhi, I hate cosplay. It's nothing but an insult to that character when some disgusting 3D tries to appear like that character. If it's a really good cosplay, I accept it grudgingly.

People trying to be witty and funny.
Even worse: trying the same via spewing clichés.
Still worse: *chan memes.

>>12343

That's why I use sound isolating headphones all the time

Libertarians.

>things that genuinely piss you off?

Those self-proclaimed activists (hipsters from Reddit) who are at Occupy, waving signs demanding other people pay for their worthless "liberal arts" degrees and their healthcare. Those of them who are from the "ANONYMOUS IS LEEJUN" crowd are the worst. I grind my teeth whenever I see news reports about them.

Emoticons annoy me greatly. Every time I see them used I have an urge to tell that person to stop using them.

>>12377
CNN had a story about them yesterday and it made me feel sick almost. What's also funny is when they try to claim responsibility for the arab spring

I fucking hate people. I wish the world would freeze over and kill everything.

>>12383

>>12385
That's what I always wonder when people here say they wish everyone were dead.

>>12386
I don't. I have too many video games to play, too much manga to read, too many movies to watch.

Anyway, getting kind of off topic here.

>>12377
I note your word choice and must ask a question:

Do you hate the occupy movement or what it has become? 

I simply hate what it has become. People arguing against the abuse of the capitalism structure and economic inequality (when the words had meaning) have been outnumbered by self-proclaimed communists and anarchists reading anarchists_cookbook.PDF on their MacBook Air and poor kids who majored in philosophy complaining about tuition and not getting a job, again, typing out angry letters and blog posts on their iPhones and MacBook Air. 

There are people with legitimate issues and problems, who cannot afford to be lobbyists so they are not represented in the government, which continues to bail out some of the most privileged banks and corporations in the world, and continues to irresponsibly spend money and pass useless legislation. However, they are also joined by pieces of shit, and the media did not report on Occupy until the pieces of shit arrived, and then intentionally made the entire movement look like the nation's collective bowel movement. And you know it was intentional. Plus, it wasn't that popular on Reddit until about the sixth day if I recall correctly and my sources are trusted. You can tell Reddit was the source of the shits because the terminal decline of Occupy started after it hit big on social media. The same thing basically happened to the Tea Party. OWS's original design was out of necessity in today's world, it just needs to be refurbished and turned into a nameless movement that isn't taken over by fucks and that more people can agree with while not thinking it is a political party or "were making history guise #iminthemovement" crap. 

The economy is shit, and the culture is shit, and if any semblance of stability is to exist past 2020 there needs to be drastic nationwide and global changes within the next four or so years. 

For one thing, tuition and the existing structure of education, the main point I will make to make sure this thread isn't derailed again into political shit.

Since college now is basically a necessity if you don't want a union job in a post-industrial society, you would think tuition would be more affordable. However, because student loans and scholarships are given out on a much more lenient basis, schools take advantage of this and profit. Adjusted for inflation, a Harvard grad in 1960 would have spent as much for his four years at Harvard as a freshman there this year is spending on his first year alone. Yet very little of that money goes to professors, most goes to grandiose gymnasiums and six performance halls and three cafeterias selling unlimited hommus and Tibetan mince yak pudding, most of these things being unneeded and half of them not even being used by students who are there for LECTURES and STUDYING. When was the last time you saw a college student with enough time to take up aikido while studying computer science and getting his general education requirements out of the way?

Colleges are a business you have to buy into, and not get any customer's rights. That's an issue and I hate that. You spend $100,000 (much more or a little less) for a piece of paper saying you know things and spent five times more than you should have spent. 

Also some of that is for living in a cramped box with some kid who won't clean the fucking toilet or bring out the trash, farts a lot, and brings seven girls over at 11:30 PM on the night before exams so he can show them Human Centipede on full blast volume as the girls scream "EEEEEW!" every six minutes. 

Also some is for textbooks with a monopoly on a certain subject so they charge you $700 for one volume. 

Another thing is general education requirements (read: high school 2.0). This exists because America can't be assed to standardise high school curriculums in core subjects on a federal level and make free domain textbooks. Instead, if you don't want to take the same course over again for $20,000 a year, you have to buy into a $150 AP™ course in high school. Either way, someone makes bank for making you learn the same useless shit over again. 

The reason advanced math is taught in high school is so you can build reasoning and logic skills, and if taught properly, you can learn any language, program anything, and basically make a lot of money and solve a lot of problems for a lot of people instead of having to sweat your balls off over a blowtorch until you're laid off or injured. Learning math is not for memorising how to solve a problem, then promptly forgetting about it in six to eight months, like Spanish classes. However, math teachers rarely, if ever, teach math to reinforce critical logic as much as they tell you a prescribed way to get an answer and not tell you WHY each step is taken and what it actually does. If you do use your logic and reasoning to find a more efficient way of reaching the outcome, you are punished with a failing grade instead of rewarded for learning what the class is existing to teach you. This is so bad that many teachers actually think that the curriculum is needed in everyday life. Nobody ever multiplies a matrix in everyday life, for christ's sake. Nobody puts a meal on the table by drawing a parabola. If math only existed to teach you life math skills, where is the tax form chapter? Where is the checkbook balancing chapter? Where is the "Your wages will be sapped out by taxes, so your net pay can be significantly less than what you are being told you are being paid" chapter? None of this is preparing kids for the world!

High school is basically a useless time where you are "prepared" for college with lies and overstatements and given infinite opportunities to fuck up the rest of your life by stepping off the path once. No life knowledge or skills are given to you during high school, and many, many people are conditioned to hate learning, and remain ignorant because of it, and hate recreational learning as a result. Commas aren't taught correctly in school, it was something I had to learn on my own accord, in ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. Because so many hate recreational learning, you will notice pretty much a vast majority of people do not use commas, or don't use them within the rules of any prescribed grammar codes. The same can be said about knowledge of the world. Most people don't know anything about countries but what they see in a Michael Bay film. 

The only thing high school does is be a time placeholder that puts people in danger of being demoralised, unmotivated, and even killed, by their own hands or by the hands of someone who sees the futility of the existing system and in a deranged, hateful, thoughtless rampage, kills his fellow victims. 

TL;DR: Capitalism and education should be separate as hell and the moon, schools should exist to educate, not make cafeterias with Mongolian Hipster Wheat Dip in biodegradable packaging, the reason tuition is so high is because of ravenous supercapitalist sharks taking bites off of the lenient loan-giving and scholarships, general education is a crock of shit because high schools won't (or can't) do their jobs, math is taught for all the wrong reasons, and the government could solve all of this if it just standardised education and made high schools into places for education, not for putting yourself in daily danger of bomb threats and being shot by some kid whose dad abused him and blamed video games for his violent outbursts, and all this institution does now is prevent people from fighting their own ignorance by destroying our inherent urge to educate ourselves. 

Maybe this could go in Tohno U (/mt/) but it has a better place in this thread. 

>>12396
>highschool...

I think the guys who wrote KS thought a bit like that as well. It's more indoctrination than learning.
The pro's for private higher education is a lack of that, in opposition to whatever government agenda may be in place. However, it's easy to see where this would just be the same but in favor of whatever corporation backs that institution of learning.
My experience with teachers has been nothing more than glorified daycare. Even at the university level, it's been short lectures where I hardly learn 10% of what is needed, and the rest in self study or in laboratory work. Maybe that's just because I'm at the undergraduate level though.

Tuition may be very high, but it is affordable if you qualify for scholarships. This I see as a sort of filter for those who would not make it anyways. The problem here is as you said, this is taken advantage of again for profit. Something I have also seen is that general education does not grade you on how well you learn, but how well you follow directions. So the guy pushing out a 3.5GPA with worksheets and standardized tests will fail at higher levels, but the one with latent talent that was hammered down can't advance with a 2.3 or so.

As for general life skills, what helped me deal with household finances and other life skills like buying a vehicle, was my family. Western culture doesn't have a family model anymore as I see it, and with no support it is no surprise all these kids fail.

It'll be interesting to see how the future will come about when no one is investing in human capital through education and everything is milked for short term profits to fit a bare capitalist model.

I guess I also agree with you there on hating a crumbling system as well.
At least we have the internet free for a while longer. If it does get on lockdown, we can always go through a "quality control" phase and those that can will regress back to HAM geeks with packet radio and such.

Hope this wasn't a bother.

You reminded me of another thing that really pisses me off. Here in New Zealand, we have this terrible testing/marking system in high school. It's called "NCEA."

The gist of it is there are four grades, Not Achieved, Achieved, Achieved with Merit, and Achieved with Excellence. You receive individual marks for each question on the paper, which are then counted and averaged out to see what you get for the whole thing. 90% of the time this "averaging" causes a drop in grade. For example, one paper I've done: even if you get Merit or Excellence for all other questions, if an earlier question was marked achieved or not achieved, you get that mark instead. For the entire paper. It's ridiculously easy to achieve, but often ridiculously difficult to achieve with merit or excellence. What qualifies you for each grade IS written on the papers of the examiners, but they often manage to just twist it or misinterpret it, giving you the result they believe you deserve, because they're overworked and likely understaffed.

Basically, New Zealand realized that their education system was insufficient, that few were actually passing anything. So, did they improve their teaching or disciplinary systems? Haha, no way, that'd require money, time or effort! So instead, they "average" out the system like so. Now, sure, we have plenty of idiots passing. But they do the same garbage they would've done if they'd gotten no education whatsoever. A lot of intelligent people are screwed over because of this bullshit system knocking them down grades, simply because they don't understand what the requirements for passing with excellence or merit are. We're not told that before we enter, we're told what's required to pass, and that's it. That's all they want from us.

Funny thing is, we stole this system from Scotland. Then THEY dropped it, but we're still using it.

One more year. One more year till I'm in University and, at the very least, away from this garbage system.

I think I agree with that. College is just a fantastic way to produce entitled little shits who think they know everything, and for the most part on their parents' bill (though there are definitely exceptions to that, especially students coming from poor and/or military backgrounds.) College itself isn't a bad thing. It can be extremely useful to the resourceful, clever student who knows exactly how to play the system and make key contacts. But those sorts of people are in the minority, and for all the rest, primary and secondary education doesn't do a fucking thing to prepare them for that reality.

So it's hard to blame the students themselves. The ones at bad schools are generally there because of their low economic status, and the ones at "good" schools often get told that they're all special snowflakes etc., so that once they go off to college they think they already own the whole world. The lies we're told in our youth to make us feel better only hurt us, and it's the adults who are to blame for it. It's also one of the many reasons the US is going to be in the shitter (even more I mean) in the next 5-10-20 years unless something really incredibly dramatic happens.

We shouldn't be too quick to generalize about the Occupy people, though. Yeah, some of them are definitely dipshits, but many more probably have done their best and are understandably upset that they haven't gotten what they feel would be a fair break. Occupy needs to find a focus outside of the vague "fuck capitalism" thing they've been on for the last few months. If they actually want to get somewhere, they need to focus on electoral reform. As long as the Republicans and Democrats hold a monopoly on power, they'll never have to be held accountable for their actions. Just look at the coming presidential election: the choice will be between Barack Obama and someone either the same (if it's Romney) or worse (if it's Gingrich or Santorum.) He can pretty much get away with anything he wants and his base will still support him. It is a load of shit.

This whole conversation should really be on /mt/, I guess.

Haruhi damn it, 4chan posters are incredibly annoying. Not only do they think their ``jokes'' and style of posting to be the standard on every textboard/imageboard, they then act in an even more obnoxious manner whenever somebody points it out to them. And I'm not just talking about your typical ``/b/-tard'', I'm talking about every single board on 4chan, that place is infected. Just look at the textboards, they used to be a decent place to post on but look at them now.

That place posters just can't adapt, they want to shove their ``memes'' and ``clever'' jokes in every place they go to and when told to stop they resort to insults, ``U MAD'' and even spamming. In other words, they annoy me, not because they exist, but because they can't keep to themselves.

>>12408
It is what it has become, and you realise, unfourchanitely, the website is nothing but fourteen year olds and misguided neckbeards now, with the occasional person who puts up with shit because they don't know there are better places to go.

They do have some 1 in 5,000,000 good insight posts. Someone sent me this screen shot. But this kind of good insight can be found on a lot of much better sites, like, say, this one here.

>>12411
I could tolerate them if they just kept to themselves, but no, they must take that attitude wherever they go and insult the posters of other communities.

>>12412
The thing that bugs me the most has to be when they get mad about Reddit and emoticons. Meanwhile, they're using MSPaint (and regular) reaction images, greentext stories and other meme garbage.

Oh, but it was FUNNY when THEY did it. Pieces of shit. I only recently discovered Tohno-chan after it was mentioned on /jp/ at some point.

>with the occasional person who puts up with shit because they don't know there are better places to go.

I could never find anywhere better, before the above happened. What sites are you talking about? I'm curious.

>>12414
I think he's talking about this site. I also found Tohno-chan through /jp/, maybe one/one and a half years ago. It really is a haven. Slow sometimes, but that suits me a lot better now than seeing the same fucking threads over and over again every day.

>>12411
You can adapt. Begin browsing quality boards like tc and bunbunmaru. Use the catalog to quickly scan threads and find ones you find interesting: http://catalog.nee v/a/

Also recognise that while poor quality posts has increased, so has the number of posts created with the implicit intention of creating quality. Quality posts on that site used to come about naturally and spontaneously, but nowadays there are more people who deliberately try to write and share good things.

Go ahead and pretend your "secret" clubs aren't mainly populated by people with a history on 4chan. Often even active posters.

Your definitions of quality are arbitrary, your claims of superiority aren't fully justified, and when you write your emotional posts on how 4chan is shit (Which it is) and how X is so much better, you sound like a child subconsciously justifying your choice of console because you can't have all of them.

Keep in mind I left like many others, but the people who can't let go and accept what happened annoy me more than the 4chan people of today.

Why does it seem the whole internet has been bitching about 4chan the past week?

It's a shit board, deal with it. It's not the only place on the internet you know.

>>12423
We also shit our pants daily many years ago, it's nothing to be proud of.

>>12423
I can't help but find your first line to be highly ignorant.
what difference does it make if people have a history there?
people can grow up and move on you know.
just becuase you used to shit yourself and cry about it as a baby, doesn't mean you do it anymore right?
I'd think it rather petty to make fun of someone for the childish things they used to do and forever hold it over them long after they've stopped, especially when they're trying to better themselves.
I can't speak for everyone, but many here have grown tired of 4chan and moved past it.
I myself haven't frequented the site in years.

people who still go to 4chan on the other hand and still complain about it, yeah... they're something else alright.

>>12427
The point isn't that people who use/used 4chan are somehow inferior. That's stupid, and I don't really care, I lost interest in the site some years back and I gradually stopped going, nothing more, nothing less. Holding grudges only gives you a temper and makes you stressed and go bald.

The point was that some people hold on to the delusion that they've somehow escaped the 4chan users they so vehemently despise by coming to smaller sites, take your pick which one.

"Oh, 4-ch has wonderful boards", "/bun/ has some great serious discussion", "Krautchan /int/ is full of personalities!", "Boy, these #X-LANGUANGE-ONLY boards are great because it gives a more close-knit community!"

No, it's all the same shit by the same people. And that's fine, just realize that no board is an island, no matter how much you like to pretend this is the case.

This is a gay thread.

Shitposting is all over TC lately.

>>12430
Something isn't shitposting just because you don't like it.

>>12428
When I complain about typical 4chan users I'm talking about the 16 year old kids that go about parroting memes left and right wherever they go. Like you said, and like I said in my original post, I have no interest in what happens on 4chan, but it's when they go to different places (despite what you say 4-ch and the like are NOT like 4chan in the least bit)and don't respect the rules that I get angry, there needs to be an adaptation period whenever you go to a different board or website.
You can't expect to go to the SAoVQ with a /b/ like mentality and expect acceptance, you'll be banned on the spot. Hell, you don't need to go that far, a user on world2ch made a post on the SAoVQ; now, those are two pretty similar textboards but the community is so different that the thread on the SAoVQ was just left to die after having been classified as un-VIP, I myself politely said to stop bumping the thread.

Now yes, you are right, all of us were once 4channers, most of us anyway. But we know how to switch mentalities for whatever board we are posting on, at least I do. e.g; I don't post on tohno-chan in the same way I post on SAoVQ, they're different places no matter what you think. Is there an overlap in the userbase, yes; do they behave the same way, no. If you think there isn't a difference then obviously you're not paying enough attention. Here's another example; there are people on /bun/ that browse and post on /v/, yes you read right, /v/. And do you see him posting ``>spaghetti falling from pockets'' and ``FUCKING GAMESTOP'' everywhere? NO! Because he is in a different place. And that is the problem I have with most 4chan poster, the 16 year old obnoxious idiots that don't respect the communities of the places they go to.

Another example; a long time ago I was posting on /lounge/, now, that's hardly an example of a quality place to browse, mostly because it's a part of 4chan, when it was on w4ch it was much better but that's another story, but anyway this ``kid'' comes up and starts posting about a particular board so I kindly tell him: nobody cares. Simple as that, no one on the textboards cares about the imageboards, but he was offended see, he wanted us to care, so he continued to bump his shit thread, thus pushing the other ``good'' threads back, it didn't stop us from having conversations but it was mighty annoying having to see that silly little thread, and you can forget about reporting because MrVacBob-sama doesn't care in the least bit. That's why /prog/ is the way it is today, idiots from /g/ ruined it.

But anyway, I don't get that angry, like you said they're there and we are here. As long as they stay there, fine by me.

I hate how elementary school teachers have destroyed the meaning of the word "inappropriate", especially for my generation. 

Inappropriate means not apropos, not relevant, and not suited for discussion in a certain environment or topic of conversation. For instance, when two people are talking about their research in pine tree growth in warmer climate, and another person bumps in to the conversation to talk about his favourite tuna, that is inappropriate. 

However, teachers selectively use, and abuse, the word and incorrectly teach children through contextual learning that inappropriate means lewd, obscene, sexual in nature. Yes, that nature of conversation is ill suited for discussion in a classroom, but they never say "that's inappropriate" when a child interrupts long division to ask where the native Americans were relocated when Andrew Jackson was president, or if two kids get into a fight during geography, when both are highly irrelevant to the activity the schedule has set aside for them. 

So basically, we have an entire set of generations saying things like "that's inappropriate" on phone sex hotlines. What, did the landwhale with the deep voice on the other end start talking about the role of Prussia as a state in the Weimar Republic or the nature of architecture in ancient China and whether it was early evidence that humans could make structures that were earthquake resistant? 
Or using the line in the bedroom (I know this from middle school, and sleeping over my friends house as his promiscuous mother brought home another man half her age). Well, did he ask her what she thought of the monthlong Ezo Republic and what kind of implications it had on the thoughts of citizens in the early Meiji era?

I have had bad experiences using the word in conversation, like 
>"I saved up thirty dollars in a pickle jar, and I also put a 5000 won banknote and a stick of bubblegum in it. "
"Gum and foreign currency in your savings jar? Isn't that inappropriate?"
>"Jesus, what's so sexual about that, you prude?!"
Which then escalates to me trying to tell the person the real meaning of the word, and them telling me I am stupid and "teacher said x so she must be right," and them still not believing me even after I show them the definition in both the Webster's and Oxford dictionary of the English language, as they prefer the dictionary of Mrs. Backwater-teacher-who-always-wore-custom-made-dresses-sewn-together-from-1960's-sofa-upholstry-and-punished-kids-for-using-"they"-as-a-gender-neutral-pronoun. 


To avoid getting into arguments with people who refuse to accept citation, facts and evidence because "they feel like it isn't correct", I replace it with "not apropos." This makes sure the smart people know what I am saying and the dumb ones just smile and nod, instead of showing off their (dead wrong) repertoire of knowledge. 

-Pacific Islanders leaving trash strewn all over the park and drunk singing at 2AM, also in the park

-Pacific Islanders riding ridiculously loud motorbikes all over the neighborhood

-Lebanese guys tearing down the neighborhood roads in their turbocharged cars at 2AM, waking everyone up

-Lebanese guys walking around wearing nike and adidas with ridiculous looking greasy mullets and insibile lats syndrome

Haruhi damn it man i dont want to be racist but thse guys sure make it look appealing

>>12447

Being racist only proves how much of a dumbass you probably are.

You just happen to have some trashy neighbours.

>>12447
I understand this.

As a kid, I actually had more of an interest in Korea than Japan.

The more I was exposed to Korean culture and Korean people, though... well, you know where that lead me.

It's funny, usually fighting your own ignorance breaks down racism, not encourages it...

>>12448
Is it racismor just an observation of true facts?

Lebanese and islanders seem to have an ingrained culture of trying to be as much of an asshole as possible. Whites, asians and indians don't drive loud vehicles. Even the africans here are just trying to make an honest buck like everyone else.

>>12451
It certainly might be a true observation for the people that live in your area, but I'm sure you can't legitimately argue (or at the very least, it'd be quite difficult) that people of culture x are inherently loud, annoying, faggots.

>>12449
To be honest, I don't blame you. As a Korean myself, there's a lot of shit I don't like about my culture. I do hope your views haven't been permanently skewed, however, though if it has, I suppose that's not entirely your fault...

>but I'm sure you can't legitimately argue (or at the very least, it'd be quite difficult) that people of culture x are inherently loud, annoying, faggots.
you can but it would make for a terrible thread

>>12455
>As a Korean myself

<丶｀∀´>

>>12455
No, guys like you prevent me from being really bad, like hating Koreans for being Korean (genetic). I cannot find anything that would warrant that kind of feeling, and I won't try to look for anything. 

In fact, the least biased (pro or con) views of Korea seem to come from the people who have Korean blood but were born and raised outside Korea. They see the world perspective and when either looking at Koreans or visiting relatives in Korea, they see how childish and skewed they can be, and recognise that. 

My one friend in college, Lux, has a room mate who is half-Korean. I call him Wileom. I make jokes to him like buying him kimchi noodle bowls from WalMart and calling him a race traitor for going to ramen restaurants and liking anime and Perfume. That's beside the point though. 

He absolutely hates being Korean not because of the genetic or cultural parts, but from learning firsthand the mentality of born and raised Koreans. He absolutely could not stand his relatives when he visited Korea, and their extreme ass-headedness towards anything non-Korean, like the Miguk and jjokbari. 

I mean, for christ's sake, they have an Internet campaign to spell Korea with a "C" in the English language so they can come before Japan in alphabetical order. The last time I saw that mentality in a person, he was making a glitter pen card for mothers' day and had to go to the nurse's office because he was wiggling his tooth and it fell out, because he wanted money to buy a yoyo from the school store the next day. 

They go all over the Internet trying to make English-language websites look like so many people like K-pop, altering polls (in a similar fashion to /b/), 

There are so many Korean-descended people who knew nothing about the kinds of things that these people do and think. I remember reading several blogs about "Korean American Life" written by halfers and Korean-descended teens and young people, saying "holy shit, the things my mother said about Japanese people after the disaster in March... I never knew she could be this awful! Are there that many Koreans who think this?

I don't hate Koreans. I just hate the "What Japan did to us seventy years ago is terrible! Even though the Russians, Chinese and Mongols did worse. Since Japan is so terrible you should drop Anime and read Manhwa and listen to SNDK nida!" Koreans. And you know who is to blame the most? The government. Latent anti-Japanese sentiment is actually not a part of Korean culture. 

The government in South Korea is so restrictive and ignorant, the only difference I see with North and South Korea is that South Korea has more lights and food. Children are taught from a young age to hate their neighbours, especially Japan. For instance, "Dokdo artwork" crayon drawings from children were hanged in a train station, and the shit they drew... It's as bad as the Dear Leader hailing to the north. This sentiment is actually relatively recent in Korea, and even during the annexation period, aside from some fringe groups, the view of most Koreans of Japan was more like the views of Hawaiians to the US, until around 1940. "Yeah, it sucks that we we were colonised, and we want to be free, but let's face the facts. We were a shitty backwater the past 300 years, and it would be worse if Russia annexed us."

Also. The government has little pride in Korea's merits and more pride in how to make Korea look cool abroad. They claim other cultures' practices were Korean made (samurai, tea ceremonies, katanas, most asian martial arts, fireworks, Chinese hanzi, manga, even airplanes and pizza, Phonetians and the Aztecs) and important Asian people are of Korean decent. They are called "uriginals" (uri [our] originals) And it works for a few people, even abroad. 

For instance. A comic artist from Denmark that makes a web comic about anthro countries made her Japan a nerdy stereotypical Asian with squinty eyes and a bowl cut while South Korea is some sort of cool dude manga character with European-esque eyes. 

Koreaboos are just trying to distance themselves from annoying cosplayers who don't bathe, when they could just ignore them and like what they fucking want to like. 

I find it hilarious how some people discover "hey, when I was a narutard I really was retarded! So to distance myself from that awful time in my life I will be a K-pop hipster and talk about how bad Japan is! I totally am not a Weeaboo now guise!" not knowing it is the same shit, different fandom, being a Koreaboo. 

It's especially funny when Koreaboos talk about racism. 
"When I was in Tokyo, all of them were such racists, some stared at me! When I asked a guy for directions in English he ignored me! One kid asked if I was from Africa or America! Another held up a pen to me and told me "this is pen!" Do these kids think black people are all stupid! I'm really light for a black man! Then some cop came and told me to stop smoking in the street. Another yelled at me for talking on the phone on the subway, and all the other Japs were recording me with their cell phones! Japs are racist whale munchers!"
Versus, same people,
"I went to a shopping centre in Seoul today, listening to some SNDK(smokin hot Korean babes) on my Samsung Galaxy on the train. Koreans stare at people a lot, but that's the culture! Anyways, walking past the little kids playground in the middle of the place the mothers panicked and were all hiding their children and saying things like "dearde maenkee gyeo heom!" under their breath. Korean moms are so protective! When I bought a jar of kimchi at one of the stores, the man sent a new hire to follow me around, saying "NO DACH IF NOT BAE!" They must be really helpful here! I was frisked afterwards, in traditional Korean custom. Then I went out to a restaurant that was selling dog meat. It's just the culture, don't be so ignorant! I heard that another mall went into a full panic and lockdown because a Nigerian woman tried to buy some fabric. They just don't see many black people in Korea, it can't be helped!"

This is exactly the same as the Weeaboos who go to Japan and get lambasted for saying they are Otaku to normals, and in some masochistic flurry they talk about how nice the Japanese are to them, but when they are mean, "it's just the culture!"

Things that annoy me, then:
Korean protesters
Both Korean governments
Uriginals
Koreaboos
Narutards
People who think in liking something, you automatically are part of the annoying fanbase and are just like them. 
Myself, for not eloquating myself enough and therefore looking like I hate all Koreans, and losing the potential to have a good conversation and not look like an ass.;_;

>>12456
>you can but it would make for a terrible thread

yep

>>12460
Damn, that is a long wall of text. Don't get me wrong, I read it all and agree wholeheartedly, I'm just thinking that, maybe, you could've made your point in less paragraphs.

>Whites, asians and indians don't drive loud vehicles
yeah they do. its more a problem with men aged 18-25 than any race in particular.
However,
>you can't legitimately argue (or at the very least, it'd be quite difficult) that people of culture x are inherently loud, annoying, faggots.
There are differences between cultures/races, agreed? Therefore it follows that some will be louder than others. Of course you would need some kind of data to back this up, not just "My neighbours are loud".

>>12463
I'm sorry, I typed that out on my mobile this morning and I couldn't (or didn't) think about length.

Haruhi damn, it is a novel though...

>>12460
Koreans puzzle me.
They really do seem keep to themselves and have no interest at all in outsiders. I live in the South, home of the redneck yet there is a very large Korean population here now. Why? I have no idea.

They build little strip malls, and buy up closed businesses, and cater only to other Koreans. What they sell in these shops is beyond me as I can't read Korean. That doesn't seem like the best business model, as it highly restricts their clientele to just those that have not been fully assimilated.


Back on topic about things that annoy me.
How people dress themselves. I could go on and on, but here are a couple of examples.

People that wear flip-flops and sandals outside of the beach or the pool. Put some fucking shoes on. I see this year round. Even winter time there will be those in shorts and flip-flops. It doesn't snow much here, but it does get cold.

Women dressing like men annoys me too. I mean wearing boot-cut jeans, boots, and a flannel shirt. That is fine attire for hopping in a Subaru and driving to the nearest gay bar. Are men going to have to wear frilly dresses to be masculine soon? I bet some here hope so

>>12471
yeah it bugs the hell out of me too.
I've also seen people wearing those things in winter while it's pouring rain out.
I wish they'd get frost bite or something, they deserve it.

specking of how people dress, I hate how guys walk around without shirts on.
It's at least 100 miles from the nearest beach.
It's especially bad when they have baggy pants that show off their underwear.
there should be indecent exposure laws against this shit.

you guys are really into fashion huh

>>12474
I don't think it's that we're into fashion, but that the things people commonly wear are disgusting.
as someone said before, people are wearing sleepwear in public now.

I honestly find popular fasion to be complet shit, as in what celbertys promote.
they're pushing trash, I mean litraly, it's trash, the shit these people pass off as fasion, it all looks like they stole it from a homeless faimly, and charge hundreds of thoesnds of dollers for this crap.
I'm sure there are kids in chinese sweat shops making fun of the retards over here paying $500 for ripped up jeans purposefully made to look like old shit.

>>12472
About the sandals, sometimes people wear them when its raining because they don't have any waterproof shoes, and their socks would just get wet. Then again, its probably more likely that what you said was the reason behind it.

On the subject of fashion; I hate the kind of nerds who wear fedoras or other stupid nonsense to compensate for their unremarkable self.

>>12478

My neighbors are rattling my windows with car stereos as I type. My mother says we can't call in on them unless it's past 11 at night (then it is disturbing the peace). I'm really surprised since two of them got arrested last month for burglary and driving a car into a house (being chased by cops), so you'd think the remaining ones would try to keep a low profile. Expecting them to have sense is too much, I suppose.

I hate that

I wish I could just stab those niggers and their Haruhidamned car stereos

There is nothing more infuriating than having to endure that garbage

>>12483
I agree (sort of), but please don't say such things

>>12474
people often define themselves by dressing according to a group's code.

What we really hate are those groups, but we notice the attire first. Also, many people look really stupid.

>>12480
Fucking hell.

I knew a kid who wore anime t-shirts, but wore a trenchcoat and a fedora.

In school.

fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

I told him he has no business in that attire unless he's wearing a shirt and tie beneath it. And a diploma.

>>12478
My face is so remarkably chiseled and beautiful, I could walk outside in a standard tshirt and jeans and garner a bit of attention. Hard not to with cherubs praising my beauty and getting me on the sexual predator list.
It's a curse really.

I hate people that list things for sale online as 'new' even though it's opened or out right missing the packaging.

these idiots need to learn the difference between 'new' and 'used'.
at best an item can be 'like new' but as soon as you remove it from the package, it is no longer 'new'

>>12480
Jesus.

Someone needs to tell him that the only men who are able to get away with fedoras anymore are pimps, really old guys, and old blues or jazz musicians (though that's usually more of a porkpie style.) Though I have seen a few black men wearing them with suits lately, all 40's style, but they can pull it off.

Euphemsisms. Things don't become less uncomfortable or gross, if you talk about them by different words.

>>12548
They can be funny though

>>12539
a lot of ebay sellers also need to look up the meaning of "rare"

>>12551
haha, yeah that also, seems like people put 'rare' on just about anything.

People ending their sentences with "lol".

>>12654
in real life

The society pisses me off.
My physical condition pisses me off.
The need to work pisses me off.

having to listen to the three's company theme song at 2am coming from my neighbor's house every night.

>>12674
I'm imagining a house that throws a Three's Company party every night for no apparent reason and it's making me laugh

My country is filled with people with no respect for property. 

The reason there is little public transportation and tax-funded public infrastructure is because there are a lot of people who can't be trusted to, quite literally, not shit on everything. 

Boston has a group called the Mass Bay Transportation Authority, colloquially called "The T". This is because all the Commuter Rail (Passenger diesel trains), bus stops, and subway are marked with a big sign with a T in a circle (Ⓣ) for Train or Transport. The MBTA is in charge of all public transport and even offers taxis. 

Anyways, because the MBTA is funded by taxes, they can allow for "lower" fares on train tickets, a third of the price of Amtrak. From the nearest station to me, a trip to Boston costs $7.25 and takes 1 hour or so. This is a hell of a lot safer, more efficient, and actually cheaper and less time consuming for one person to go into the city. 

However, people have no respect for the train. They leave trash everywhere. Even the workers throw tickets onto the floor when they are done clipping them. Normal people throw their gum on the floor. Sunflower seed shells are spat on the ground. And yes... People do occasionally have bowel movements. They sometimes forget to do it on the walls of a public bathroom, in a trash can, in a newspaper vending box, or Haruhi knows where else they spread their shit.  Jesus. 

Because they have to scrape shit and gum and graffiti off of every surface they own, the MBTA is now jacking up fares and cutting off some key services that people rely on starting next year (or within the next few months). This is going to kill the infrastructure and will be detrimental to the city's revenue and to the surrounding towns. If people actually respected public property this wouldn't be an issue. 

I especially love it when people talk about how "disgusting" it is that public urination is more common in Japan than in the US (to which a lot of people (Japanese or otherwise) say the Zainichi do it, and it's more common in urban China and Korea than Japan, etc). For christ's sake, have those people ever encountered a fucking fresh log sitting on a park bench, or shit spread (with handprints) all over the walls of a public bathroom in the guhd ol' Yew Eyss ah Ay? Because I see it so much... Fucking hell.

For those of you outside the US, is shit on everything common at all? I don't want to be making inferences I cannot confirm. Here, if you walk into a stall at McDonalds or any school or hospital or restaurant there is a 1:5 chance that the bathroom floor and wall is coated with someone's shit, or the toilet is clogged with a fucking ream of toilet paper mixed with shit and piss. Even sometimes, just piss is left in the bowl because some asshole couldn't be bothered to flush his piss, like most three year olds know how to do. If you do visit the US, always use public bathrooms between the hours of 5-9 AM, because this is usually before all the teenagers and frat boys can coat the walls in the only things they know how to create. This is the best advice I can give, and I guarantee no tourist book will tell you that. 

It seems like as soon as you call something "public", especially in urban areas, it automatically is disrespected by everyone. I hate it and think no wonder socialism is a bad word in the US. Who wants to work so their income is taxed to scrape gum and shit off of a train station platform?

I think sometimes that I should exact revenge on the public by leaving the bloody water sitting in a toilet bowl with a note saying "I never flushed in public bathrooms. Now this happens to me. This is what Haruhi did to me. Please always remember to flush or you too will be hit by Haruhi's holy wrath of bloody poop." so someone can have nightmares and remember to flush always. 

I. hate. shit. 

>>12700
That's disgusting. I rarely if ever leave the house, but I don't remember ever seeing shit spread on the walls of public bathrooms, or any place for that matter, at least not on the places I go to. I've seen piss, obviously, on the floor next to the urinals but that is, I assume, common. I don't know how it is in the rest of Europe, but people are somewhat hygienic where I live.

>>12700
I live in the us and I've never encountered stuff like that

>>12700
I really hate that too.
people, especial teens, love to deface public property for fun.

when I went to mexico for some dental work, I used a pay toilet, and it was disgusting, the floor was completely covered in soggy cardboard.
It would really be nice if people didn't feel compelled to brake, carve their name into, deface, or steal anything left out for public use.

My mother has a habit of leaving trash in parking lots when questioned about why she does it, she said that it was part of what we pay for at whatever business we just came from, that they have people payed to clean that stuff up, and generally believes it to be someone else's problem.
This is the problem I think, when citys get so big, no one knows each other, it all becomes 'someone else's problem'
you wouldn't trash your own home or that of a friend right?
I doubt these people would destroy or deface the property of a shop, if they personally knew the owner of the business.
but when that owner is a stranger you'll probably never meet, it makes people not care.
becuase people only care about what will eventually come back to them and affect them, and I don't mean shop keepers yelling at them or violating laws, I mean destroying things use regularly or that belong to people they care about.
I dunno, but maybe if there was no one around to clean their shit up for them, maybe people would stop doing it as much.
make them use the things they damaged and covered in shit, and teach them that it does in fact affect them to, because they certainly don't care if it affects anyone else.

>>12703
less populated, more rural area are less likely to have these problems.

I believe this is just a symptom of 'freedom' being taken to ridiculous levels. True freedom is not only the freedom to thrive, but also the freedom to fuck up. There is a laissez faire attitude in America and to a (probably) lesser extent other Western nations towards people doing shitty things. Adults leave trash on the ground, mismanage their children, cheat on their taxes etc as if they were still children and expect everyone else to clean up after them because nobody is allowed to call them out. The law of the country and even the culture of the country lets people do these things and get off scot-free.

Other countries with stricter policies don't have these kinds of problems. In Japan, if you do something wrong, you get named, shamed and told to resign from your job. Chewing gum is banned in Singapore and you can get a $500 fine for spitting. You can prevent certain people from ruining it for everyone else, but the tradeoff is you have to restrict their freedom. Despotic regimes with draconian laws and punishments which are run for the purpose of improving life for the whole nation is this concept taken to its extreme. The health of the organism usually means the suffering of the cell.

>>12720
I think anonymity plays a large roll in it to.
people are more likely to do something bad, if they think they can get away with it.
in large cities, it's easy to blend into a crowd and disappear in the sea of people.
where as, I doubt most people would shit on their neighbor's lawn and graffiti tag the person's house, if that neighbor was the only other person around for a 100 miles.

and yeah, I've always hated people that are always spiting everywhere.
I don't get why they can't hold it in, and dispose of their fluids in restrooms if need be, it's gross.

I took my laptop in to the apple store for some minor repairs on thursday

The "geniuses" have somehow completely destroyed it

They broke my harddrive, replaced it, and somehow have managed to completely botch the replacement

It was supposed to be a quick, very minor fucking repair and now my laptop hasn't worked for almost a fucking week. I have to take it in for MORE repairs tomorrow for the fourth fucking time.

Fucking Apple. Fucking macs. I wish I had a normal laptop.

So infuriating.

I don't use macs, but I understood Apple had some sort of total hardaware waranty, so if they can't repair your machine they replace it with another, at no charge... was I wrong?

However: I don't think any major company official repairing center guarantees software recovery; so even if they fix your machine, they might very well wipe out your entire power level in the process without even consulting you (since it's not their responsability).

I hate having to sleep.
always seems like I don't really start to do productive things until after midnight.
currently 4am, I'm damn tired, and I really don't want to go to bed.
such a damn wast of time...
I could be doing so much better things with that time... which I probably wouldn't given the chance... but could! ...damn it.

>>12752
Drink coffee.

Also, I hate how 4-ch is being overrun by normal people, every single thread has people talking about relationships and meet-ups and whatnot. I know that normals are pretty much everywhere on the web now, but at least let me have my textboards.

>>12754

What about /jp/?

>>12763
What does /jp/ have to do with 4-ch?

Feminists.

>>12763
4-ch is not the same as 4chan.

>>12769

Yeah I got mixed up due to someone calling 4chan 4ch a while back

>>12741
If it's unrepairable, yeah they replace it. I finally got it back and working, but it might as well be a new computer, they basically replaced everything.

And they did wipe my drive out.

Fortunately I keep the essentials 50~ gigs backed up on an external.

>>12754
well apparently someone revived world2ch a while back
or at least is using the domain name to set up a bbs

>>12754
This. I wish there was some BBS with a lot of (non-normal) people. I'm sure it would have better conversations than the chans (excluding TC of course).

>>12872
Well let's see.
There's world2ch, like >>12839 mentioned, but that place suffers from the same problem that plagues 4-ch: Tokiko/Archduke. It's run by 0037 however and he's a cool guy. Used to be a poster on the original world2ch.net alongside with Shii/Menchi.

There's the SAoVQ, of course, but unfortunately it seems that it too is being overrun with normals. Don't ask me how they found that place, 'cause I have no idea.

None of the other textboards currently alive have anywhere near the traffic that these two and 4-ch have, which is a shame really. The 4chan textboards are only good for ``inane trolling garbage'', 6ch is slow and shitty (though it hosts AAchan), vip-quality is run by the same poster I mentioned in the spoiler, the Tablecat's Lounge gets like one post per week, 10ch is also slow, and the English language board on 2ch requires you to speak Japanese if you want to have a proper conversation with the natives.

If only we lived in Japan we could all call news4vip home.

I hate it when people take photos of themselves or have any of their body parts in the image.

Fanservice.

I really hate "talking head" videos. You know them: someone -- instead of producing a mediocre blog post -- decides to speak his shallow opinions in the camera. Bonus if the camera is shaking, the person is ugly, begins with "so ay... this is a ...", uses "well", "um", "so" in every sentence, mumbles, etc.

I don't like that either. I. Don't like eating spoiled rice and I try to brush my teeth otherwise
>>12325

I don't like it when my mom harasses me to get a 3DPD. She even gets angry when I tell her it's none of her business.

I hate being poor. I hate this community, the state the whole country. I don't have a single dollar, my breakfast is a single off brand waffle since I can't waste them and eat two at a time. I can't afford to purchase anything for lunch and my dinner is whatever my mom can scratch together. I got to a shitty school and can hardly even afford that. The textbooks cost too much and I need to write down whatever notes I pick up in lectures and expand on that online, and Haruhi fucking help me if the assignments are straight from the book. I can't get a part time job since you need a car to go anywhere in this "city", and my I can feel the hard stares my parents give me when they have to give me a cent to pay for my school or whatever little thing I might need for classes. My mom only cares about her religion and despises me for not socializing the few times I go to church with her, my dad is on his third wife and doesn't give a damn about any of his kids.
Everyone I've come across is the worst kind of person. I'm hardly ever noticed when I do my work in a near empty labroom and hear the rest of them talk behind each others back, ridiculing the professors and their so called friends. I wonder if they talk about me like that too when I'm out of earshot. I always thought that it was a petty thing only women did, but it looks like men do it too. At least I have the benefit of hardly being noticeable or displaying any trait that they could criticize me on.
My own mom makes fun of me for not having friends of a 3DPD, and even wonders why I turned out this way too. Well when you lock someone indoors during non school hours don't expect them to magically be a functional member of society when they reach "adult age".

I've never come across a single person offline that had any redeemable qualities. If they along with their entire bloodline were shit off the Earth I can say it would be a much better place. Even online that list is very very slim.
I hate having to sit around other people. Anyone remember how in the biology classes they would show pictures and slides of leukocytes and other bacteria all around it? That's exactly how it feels.

I really hate tsundere. I find them scary and completely unlovable.

>>13057
I hate tsundere because they are bitches. Always makes me mad when the girl that beats the ever living life out of the MC on a daily basis wins over the shy, quiet, and caring girl that wouldn't hurt a fly.

>>13022
You sound like me, only I'm not quite that hateful or poor yet. I especially know what you mean about being locked in, being denied most chances to go with friends because "it's too inconvenient" for my parents to give me a ride or even let me fucking leave the house.

>>13059
My sentiments exactly.

But thats just part of the appeal. Breaking down the tough exterior to get to the sweet gooey deredere inside.

Diamonds are brighter when dug out of a deep cave.

I hate how sexist popular media is towards men.

I just saw the film Frozen today.
Two guys and a girl get placed in a very possible deadly situation.
and from just that, I bet you can guess how it ends.
one guy jumps from a height that brakes his legs on the ground, (nasty stuff) wolfs come and eat him alive.
about an hour latter into the movie, second guy makes his way across the wires down to the ground and fights off the wolfs then gos for help, but latter on they show that he didn't make it and was also eaten alive by wolfs.
stupid shit like that belongs in horror movies, not dramas.
as for the girl? the chair conveniently falls halfway down snagging on some previously unseen wire, allowing her to fall a safe distance and crawl her way to a road where someone helps her out.
along her way, she comes across the mutilated body of the second guy, and a wolf fucking Staring her down for a minute before going back to eat what's left of the second guy.

I'm tired of movies and tv shows treating men as being expendable, good for nothing but protecting women with their worthless lives, and feeding the dogs with their remains.

Prices for replacement parts, and repairs made by Dell.

It would cost me well over $800 to replace each part of my laptop (build it from scratch. Hard drive, power source, screen, keyboard, motherboard etc), excluding shipping.

It cost $350 to buy.

It would cost me more money to make a Dell laptop than buy it from them pre-made.

How the hell does this even make sense?

>>13149
I agree with this.

>>13149
I was about to say that I'm sick of how rampantly prevalent double standards are in our society and how most folks seem to be ok with it. Your story is a good example of that.

>>13175
I'd imagine that's how they manage to sell their computers so cheaply, by charging out the ass for things like repairs.

>>13149
I dunno, I really hate seeing girls get majorly hurt or killed (even 3D). I don't watch slasher movies or certain anime because it bothers me so much.

>>13186
I'm not into gore myself either, but stuff like this is why equal rights will never exist.
Not just because of crazy feminist bitches who have no idea what they're talking about, but white nights as well, guys putting down their own fellow man as they knowingly defend sexist double standards.

anime isn't filled with stupid dick envying cunts bitching about their rights.
3D is though, and if they want to be men so badly and get the same treatment as men, that should be in all areas, not just the ones they want.

You think real wolfs give a shit what kind of genitals a human has?
nature doesn't care.
Bitch in that movie used as an example didn't even offer to try and help once in the whole movie, just sat there and waiting until the guys died and left on her own.
I'm not saying she should have died also, what pisses me off is the portrayal of how worthless and disposable men are.
the second guy to get brutally killed actually said at one point 'you're thinking it should have been me that died down there? no I get it, no one gives a shit about me right?'
the guy was actually a well developed character with a back story but died an idiotic death ten minutes from the end of the movie for no good reason.
all the audience knows about the women, is that she's just one of the guy's 3DPD for a year.

It's not that women need to die in media more often, it's that men should not be killed all the time just for the heck of it, for fun even.
many movies will show men dieing by the dozens, which sends a clear message that men are born expendable.

>>13188
I wouldn't say I'm a "white knight". I don't like seeing bunnies getting killed either, doesn't mean I think people should stop hunting them and they all need protecting or whatever

Post edited on 12th Feb 2012, 1:10pm

>>13189
So you don't think women need protecting either then?

>>13191
Nope. There's a difference between "I don't want to watch" and "I don't think it should exist"

If people want to watch anime that feature girls getting graphically killed then more power to them, but I don't.

>>13192
Not talking about anime though.

>but stuff like this is why equal rights will never exist.
I see the female sex as inferior, so equal rights seem pretty silly. Being treated just slightly better than domesticated animals for thousands of years and all. "Equal rights" wont work unless females are given a massive advantage to compensate for not being male, which would not make it equal at all.

It's my belief so I don't care if any of you think I'm wrong.

I fap to oppai lolis.

It seems no matter where I am everybody hates them. Even in the tc irc.

Dunno, I feel alone, no matter where I am.

>>13198
I like them, but I don't consider a loli with big breasts a true loli. loli is more of a bodytype, to me

Women do have equal rights, in law. This is all they need.

If they don't make as much as men it's their problem for settling for lower paying jobs.

Equal rights does not equal entitlement. Feminists want entitlement. They already have equal rights. They have in law since the 1920s and in business since about the sixties.

>>13201
>Women do have equal rights, in law.
lol
Do you know a lot of guys who get out of tickets by showing the cop some cleavage?

That probably has something to do with the fact that men don't have breasts.

>>13203
Maybe YOU don't

>>13203
Speak for yourself, I've some great knockers.

>>13203
and as such, equal rights are impossible.
case closed.

Adele (some singer) sounds like Aretha Franklin with bronchitis, this black raspy sandpaper voice. I really don't get why anyone thinks she sounds good.

>>13202
In law, not the law.

On paper they are equal. In social practice, not so much.

>>13207
I think judges still have a tendency to be more lenient towards women in court.

>>13198
Loli with rude titties is great, I love it. Hard to find it specifically on ex or ge hentai though. I want oppai on the loli, but instead I get a long list of loli's and a mature oppai.

the worst is when people spoiler the ;_; face
i mouse over it every time even though i know what it is
why do they do it

People who call themselves hackers.

>>13240
Probably because it might be considered too western. ███

>>13246
I'm a hacker. I'll take you on in a perl golf match bruv.

I always thought of ;_; as being sad inside, and its being spoilered because the person doesn't want to be seen. And also they spoiler other things because they thought maybe what they were saying wasn't that important, or they're being shy or modest

I hate site that require membership in order to just see posted links. It's not like I can't make an account using ten minute mail and a gibberish username, but it's a nuisance. like a even worse version of captcha.

>>13298
This, especially with Japanese sites.

I have learned a lot of useless kanji from having to decypher the account application, and moonrunes only make it more aggravating when they always require you to make a password with categories of unicode characters or your username has to have a number equal to one half of the square route of the number of characters in your email address times three or some shit.

All I want is to see a Haruhidamn picture of a cute loli.

>>13308
I can kind of understand why Japanese sites would want to keep out western users, since they tend to act like retards and shit places up.
Although not all western users are bad, it only takes a few idiots to fill an otherwise peaceful site into a den of cp/furry/penis spam.

English sites do it just to keep out bots(why?) and possibly increase traffic, with the idea that forcing people to make accounts might make them want to stick around, yet such practices seem more like deterrents to me.

But yes, excessiveness such as that in account application is also frustrating.

I don't like when sin is pictured sympathetically in fiction. When abuse, murder, rape, theft, vandalism, fraud, selfishness, irresponsibility is presented as something fun, heroic, or excusable.

>>13315
There are a few things on that list that I agree with, but stuff like Murder, theft, and vandalism should be a case by case basis, rather than thrown under the large net that includes rape and abuse.

>>13316
Some people like to be abused, and I bet there are some women that like to get raped (such as every women that chooses to live in south africa)
Anything can be viewed as a case by case bases sin if digged into deep enough.
What maters is that it's generally wrong.

>>13320
I doubt living in africa is a choice for most people

>>13322
That's besides the point.

>>13320
If they like it is it even rape anymore?

I really hate how windows 7 can't remember my method for sorting files.
It's like every other day this shit happens, I go to a folder looking for a file or folder, but can't find it, only to realize windows moved it on it's own, again.
Then I got to left click > sort by > more... then scroll down a very long list to search for the method.
Doesn't matter if I move it up on the list or not, it always goes back to where it was.
Then when I exit the window, I've got to left click > sort by > date modified (twice to get the new files on the bottom)
Fuck this shit is annoying.

>>13335
If you find Windows 7 annoying, just wait 'till 8 is out. Man, are we gonna have a ball with that one or what?

Speaking of which, I don't like Windows 8 and where they're trying to go with it.

http://news.yahoo.com/sex-changing-treatment-kids-rise-050220027.html

Now this bugs me greatly.

>>13373
I don't have a problem with sex changes in and of themselves (I too wish to be the girl), but a child isn't going to know enough about themselves yet to know what they want. Then again the earlier you start treatment the better chance you will have of growing up to look like what you want, instead of looking like someone in drag.

>>13373
Why?

>>13373
I'd definitely be in favor of sex changes if they actually did turn people into a real member of the opposite gender. Instead they turn you into a strange being that doesn't really belong in either camp, either mentally or biologically.

>>13395
The methods used are barbaric and consist of mutilation and drugging you up eternally. I'll never see it in a positive light until they can make a transformation that is capable of reproduction.

>>13396

Not true. In addition, the same logic could apply to organ transplants. As anyone who lives long enough will find out, presuming any of us here live long enough and could ever afford to have one of those . . .

>>13400
well to be fair it's not like they give you a vagina. they just mess with your genitals until they resemble a vagina. most transgender women dont even do that and live their lives as irl futas

>>13401
Pretty much.
would be cool if they could turn you into real members of the opposite sex.
but we might never see the day...

I wonder if it would possible to trade out genitals and such with members of the opposite sex who are also getting sex changes. hmm...

Why would you want to be a woman? It's estrogen itself that makes you beyond shit and an awful person, which you need to be flooded with to transform quickly enough. Thankfully elected leaders have an age requirement that is right at about when women should go through menopause.
A full transformation would be available long after I have died, so I'd rather opt to be 2D instead, since both options are just as farfetched in my lifetime anyways. I'd still be male though, with hopefully a bunch of 2D loli's swooning over me.

>>13405
I want to be a 2D loli

>>13405
So I can wear cute dresses whilst I lay in front of a mirror and stick hot dog wieners in my vagina.

I hate that I can't leave anything I own outside of my room, unless I wont miss it.
My mom would toss out or trash everything, if not her friends would.
my old skate board, razor scooters, all my bikes? gone.
once lent her my old katana, and she gave it to her boyfriend at the time,( but at least she made it up to me by buying me a cheep rusted up Chinese knock off)
Even my car, besides getting dings and scratches and tons of miles put on it, uses the backseat of for dropping off garbage.
Almost all my old toys fell victim to my mom's friends kids when she's invite them over, and they'd destroy anything they get their hands on.
Shit, used to be before I sarted using locks on my doors, my mom would regularly go into my room and trash the place and leave it as if a burglar broke in and was looking for something valuable.
She'd say she was cleaning my room when asked about it, cleaning my room my ass, since when does cleaning some one's room involve sweeping everything off the shelves and pulling everything out of the draws and tossing it all into a pile in the middle of the room?
My room is cluttered and cramped as hell, I'm living like a pack rat not because i am one, but becuase I just can't leave anything in the rest of my house, and it pisses me off especially because this is legally my house also.

>>13401
It is nearly impossible for a non-doctor to recognize a well crafted vagina with the current surgical skill, most biological ones look far less natural. MtF's in western countries also have a higher orgasm rate than biological women. It's all about money though, just as with any plastic surgery.

I don't like when (upper-) middle class people use the mythical "the rich" as a convenient scapegoat. Not only it's stereotyping, it's hypocritical as well.

>>13452
>a well crafted vagina

why did i laugh

>>13456
Was it because most vaginas look like roast beef butchered by a blind man and sewn together by a quadriplegic?

When I see "well crafted vaginas", it makes me think of an old bearded man in a forest putting the finishing touches on a vagina he sculpted out of wood, smiling to himself as he puts it on his mantle with the others

>>13452
It's not only about the vagina. Skeletal structure between men and women is different.

>>13452
A convincing fake is still a fake at the end of the day, or in this case, still a mutilated penis.

>>13452
I'm sorry but... what in the world does a well-crafted vagina consist of?

>>13478
hard work and superior craftsmanship

>>13461
I see it, but as a commercial.
The old man finishes and smiles at his creation, a thunder breaks in, he glances at the cloudy sky, carefully hides his masterpiece under his garments and runs to his log cabin. There he puts it in a shelf and sits by the fire, admiring his creations, ranging from an almost amorphous mass of coarse wood to his recently crafted smooth piece of tight immaculate wooden vagina. He smiles yet another time and then we are greeted by the old familiar "Keep Walking, Johnnie Walker".

I swear to fucking Haruhi, this shit is beyond frustrating. I'm just trying to get to a boss so I can have some fun co-oping with people but noooooo~

Lagstabbing, cheap, dirty, low-down scum couldn't possibly allow that, could they?

I just died probably the 15th time to some laggy cunt gliding around the screen while just trying to do some co-op

I'm going to have a fucking rage heart attack

You know, those type of people who act like they know everything. It happens to all of us, especially when it comes to things you have alot of expertise in-- you naturally feel like you know most of the subject. Those are not the type of people I'm talking about though, this person is the kind of person who doesn't know much about what they're talking about, but still act like they do. This person talks vaguely about subjects and agrees with anyone reputable, and leaves slivers of freedom so, when proven wrong, this person can refute by saying "of course there are arguments towards what I just said", or something very similar. Now, that's not even the icing on the cake. In my experience, crowds and the general audience react very strangely to this happening.

Let's say I know for sure this person is bullshitting me and knows nothing about the subject. I call this person out and prove that this person has no idea. Instead of the audience agreeing with me and shunning the person for getting themselves in a conversation they have little to no experience in, they actually shun me instead for calling the person out, saying I'm a "know it all".

That's not even all. Let's say I didn't call this person out. This person would then be at the top of the conversation and everyone would praise this person, just for pretending like they know what they're talking about. Days upon days, this person would probably just do little to no research (depending on the topic), and speaks really vaguely-- and people suck it up like they're in an actual conversation.

I understand that I may have been smug when it comes to calling people out, mainly because I hate when people do such a thing, but whose at fault here? Is it the person themselves for playing with people's minds in order to gain a false sense of achievement? Is it the audience who don't care who they're talking to, so long as they have someone to talk to about the topic they like? Is it me for caring too much about this kind of stuff?

I don't even know anymore.

>>13501
I think you managed to sum up every internet discussion

>>13501
>>13501
The people are at fault for not being like you obviously. I do that kind of stuff you described all the time.

>>13501
I find it annoying when people argue a point not for the sake of development of a discussion in the proper direction, but for an ego boost. I argue a point because I know it is true, while a lot of people argue a point because they want to look right, and look good doing it.

Thankfully none of those people seem to be here.

>>13402
I don't think so. Not unless scientists can change the chromosomes in every cell in your body from XY to XX. And even then, are you even yourself anymore?

why is the school shooting in ohio such a big deal? I mean yeah the death of 3 kids is a shame but it has been on cnn almost nonstop since it happened, more than the syrian thing where hundreds are dying a day. they have like BREAKING NEWS every 5 minutes and its always something like "the kid once punched someone in school, more on this later"

Well, to be fair, school shootings are relatively rare in the US. Violence in the middle east, on the other hand, is rather commonplace.

I'm always spoiling things for myself, and I don't know why. Like right now the only TV show I watch is The Walking Dead, and the instant spoilers were posted on another forum I went and looked at them. I probably would have been shocked at what happened (doesn't follow the comic, which I also looked at the summaries for to spoil the show) and had a more enjoyable experience but for some reason I just have to know all the time.

>>13664
Before I watch shows, I always read the spoilers first. They don't spoil but enhance my experience, as I don't have to figure out the plot myself.

>>13670
That sounds really stupid.
No really, it seriously does.

When it gets even a little bit warm all the obnoxious, loud retards come out of their homes.

I hate this too.

Last couple days here, it's been like 5-10 Celsius, so all the retards come out in shorts and flip-flop sandals like it's already summer out.

I highly suggest living in a rural area. It makes spring magical.

Except the bugs. They suck.

But seeing all the flowers on the trees... I can't wait for sakura season.

Ebay.
I lost a psp becuase of their wait a month before cleared payment shit, but I never got the payment, ebay lied and said that it was being processed.
Ebay wont even let me leave bad feedback on the asshole who got my psp without having to pay for it.

Vegans.

I don't have to get into detail about this, right? They're fucking culinary Baptists on crack. Most people find it impossible to keep a friend after he or she goes vegan, because they won't fucking shut up about it. I don't care about how much "better" I will feel, or how things are slaughtered horribly. You used to look normal but you turned into some sort of frail bony post now, and the only reason you feel better is because you had to completely change your lifestyle to distract yourself from the fact that you pay six times as much for your food than I do.

But the thing is, the bugs already inside our house go crazy for a few days looking for a way to get out.

Any self-righteous asshole that uses double-standards or plays the victim.

On that note, feminism and other rights groups that pretend to support "equality" when they're pushing for supremacy.

People who like to point out illogicality on other people, when they themselves do make illogical choices.
Also, people who think everyone should be logical all the time.

>>14045
See >>13187

I admit that I am a person who likes to point out illogicality on other people. But on the other hand I like to point out my illogicality too and I strive to be as logical as I can.

But I can understand why people dislike it and try to minimize it.

Irrationality. Including, but not limited to: logical fallacies, making unjustified statements, presenting nonsense as profound knowledge.

>>14046

I know that. However, some people like to point out illogical arguments, but under an illogical premise. For example, pointing out that the other side is generalizing, under the some sort of generalization.

Appeal to hypocrisy is bad, but so is argument from fallacy.

>>14050
>For example, pointing out that the other side is generalizing, under the some sort of generalization.

isnt that what you are doing?

>>14055

And when did I generalize that everyone who generalizes are generalizing? I said "some people", not "everyone". It is okay to point out illogicality if your basis is logical.

people who label things as lolicon on ehentai even when the girl clearly has breasts and is at least a teenager. I have an exhentai account so whatever but still, its like the only thing that isnt loli to them is when the character is a tittymonster. they do the same thing with trap material, labeling it all as shotacon

it bugs me when people feel compelled to offer up their knowledge about preparing fugu or product placement in anime as if they are an expert on the subject when they really know nothing.

also it annoys me when people make offhand comments about how the world will end in 2012 as a joke. its not funny anymore. and some people do think its real, believe it or not. I fear it will become a self fulfilling prophecy.

>>14077
stuff like that bugs me too.

especially when people criticise politicians. These people are not qualified to make most of the criticisms they do. I know democracy needs the people to keep politicians in check, but Haruhi damn it man, some of the things they say are down right outrageous. Its similar to telling an engineer how to do his job. If he listened to you then that bridge or building will collapse, so just back the fuck off okay and let the professional do his job.

>>14083
Some of the criticism is ridiculous, yes, but many of the politicians themselves aren't much better (in my country anyway). They know very little about the things they are making laws about. Even some of the ministers have little knowledge about their field (the minister of science is an ex-nurse, the minister of public health is a political scientist and two economic positions are filled by a historian and ex-detective). They are supposed to do (or make research institutions) do research about the right course of action, but they more or less ask those institutions for ways to justify their beliefs, ignoring the other side of the story.

I suppose that annoys me.

People who claim to have friends of several ethnic backgrounds when accused of racism.

I hate it when people, mainly those in subgroups or who manage things online, neglect or abandon those things for months at a time, or even all together, because they have collage exams or as some put it 'have a life'
yet they still find the time to make posts about it.
I refuse to believe that crap takes up every minute of every hour of every day of every month.
unless you have a seven day a week job you work 16+ hours a day, I don't want to hear that crap.
Or spend every single waking hour studying for the exam you always claim to be studying for, ie studying while you eat shit shower commute ect.
You expect me to believe you never have a few minutes to spare?
That you're so busy in those months you can't find 30minutes of time to take care of other stuff people are depending on you and waiting on you for?
Just tell the truth, that you don't care about whatever it is you abandoned, be honest and say you rather spend your free time going out drinking or hanging out with friends or whatever and don't make up stupid excuses.

Articles that talk about Science education being flawed or too hard for little shits. Just because it has the word "Science" in it doesn't mean it deserves to appear periodically on every Science news website ever.

I hate moving. I wish I could settle down in a place I can truly call home, instead I ended up forced to move every 3 years. Shit, my mom's already talking about the house after the one we're gonna be moving into now. and stuff always gets broken or lost.
and my parent always rushes it. For the most part damnage has been minamal so far, small rips on a few posters, and a fig fell off a shelf but was alright. but I have a bad feeling something major is gonna get broken. doesn't help my mom is a crazy bitch who wants to toss out half of everything we own every time we move. Thankfully most of what I own is kept safely in my room, but I just know she's gonna give me hell for not tossing out X amount of stuff for no damn good reason.

Myself.

automated answering systems, that require you to talk rather than input numbers.
Why the hell are so many like that now? it's so Haruhi damn annoying.
I like not having to talk with the number based systems.

People.

I hate GETs.

I hate all memes.

I hate sun, summer and going outside.

Haruhi damn, can't even have a can of soda without being forced to see 3DPD.
It's like the ultimate deterrent from drinking unhealthy stuff like that.

>>16781
I felt the same way when I had some soda with the same crap on the can a few days ago.

but the picture on the can is 2D

>>16781

I don't think I could comfortably drink that.

It bugs me that any scenario where a male protagonist has multiple close female friends is automatically called a "harem", even if he only ends up sleeping with exactly one (or none) of them. Mostly because as kid, I always got along better with girls than boys.

>>16821
some anime adaptations exasperate that.

In the VN the main character only goes with one girl per play through. But the anime version tries to tie together all possible outcomes, making the MC look like some sort of Casanova.

It doesn't surprise me that the anime is made this way, but the result feels disjointed, and awkward when he settles on the one girl he would have from the beginning.

>>16821
>>16822
I could agree. However, when the gigolo aproach was played straight, it gave birth a classic (though the normal outcome of doing such thing in most VNs is simply to get no girl at all).

That was the nice thing about amagami ss, they didn't spread themselves thin and instead actually animate every root separately.

>>16821
I agree. I had discussion on other imageboard where some idiot said Horizon and Dog Days are harem shows.

The "word" "YOLO" sounds like some stupid shit that some retarded normals would say to sound cool. I don't like the word and I definitely don't like those Haruhi damned normals that use it.

I wish that they would all die.

>>16828
You forgot SWAG.

>>16828
I only found out about it like a week ago, but I agree.

>>16831

I actually kinda like 'swag', sounds funny.

>>16828
#Yolo is Carpe Diem for stupid people.

>>16831
>>16844
>>16844
'Swag' is a ebonic short-hand. For 'swagger' - then to 'swagga'. It is an older term but it used to mean confidence. Now it means 'force of personality' or 'charisma'

>>16855
that's a lot of words to say "its dumb shit for idiots"

>>16856
that ISNT what I said

>>12396
>>and poor kids who majored in philosophy complaining about tuition and not getting a job

Bullshit.. Anyway people were told all their lives that if you get a degree in college, you would be guaranteed a job and if you don't get a college degree you were fucked. Guess what happened. And then fucking loans. And you admit it in your later posts.

>>12432
How is SAoVQ different in culture?

>>16875
Oh, well, it's dumb shit for idiots. I hope this has helped you

>>12460
>>This sentiment is actually relatively recent in Korea, and even during the annexation period, aside from some fringe groups, the view of most Koreans of Japan was more like the views of Hawaiians to the US, until around 1940. "Yeah, it sucks that we we were colonised, and we want to be free, but let's face the facts. We were a shitty backwater the past 300 years, and it would be worse if Russia annexed us."

There were a shitload of resistance groups in Korea. As in they never died down. Given Korean Nationalists sent a delegation to the Paris Peace Conference, there were anarchist groups in Korea resisting the Japanese, etc even during WWII - I'd say no. Yes there was strong support for unification with Japan ans the upper/middle classes accepted Japanification very well and quickly....but the fact that there were groups after WWII who harassed anyone who had to do with Japanese occupation suggests otherwise.

Also: Hawaiians were not that resisty

>>Also. The government has little pride in Korea's merits and more pride in how to make Korea look cool abroad.

Link that South Korea's government offically supports such?

>>For instance. A comic artist from Denmark that makes a web comic about anthro countries made her Japan a nerdy stereotypical Asian with squinty eyes and a bowl cut while South Korea is some sort of cool dude manga character with European-esque eyes.

Humon/Scandinavia and the World?

why are you arguing with year old posts

>what are some things that really bug you?

The last 10 or so posts in this thread. Good lord

The 'strong and independent' female character type, in period pieces.

Less than 3 minutes ago, I was just chilling out, listening to some Black Moth Super Rainbow, being happy, thinking about the Horizon I finally get to catch up on. All of a sudden, out of nowhere (well, definitely out of somewhere), my Haruhi damn neighbor decides to start up his motorcycle.

Moment ruined. Fuck my neighbor and his lame-ass bike. It's not even a bad-ass motorcycle. It's a pussybike.

They just moved in around a week or so ago. The kids stomp up and down the stairs, and the parents are banging shit around all day. It sucks. I actually miss my old neighbors.

I really hate how my Internet connection does just fine until I play an online game, during which it slows to near-dialup speeds and starts to lag like hell.

Or maybe I just play on poorly-run servers.

>>17088
When I played APB my latency would, without fail, drop into the yellow range whenever the enemy players got close. It was cool because it was like I had spider sense, and the enemy could never surprise me.

>>17088
Maybe it's not about speed but other network issues like package loss? I'm randomly faced with those sometimes.

I use Soulseek a lot and some people on there are either assholes or complete idiots. First you have people with super slow download speeds and you are lucky if you can get 1 album from them. Then there are the people that cut you off or go offline when your in the middle of downloading something especially IF THEY'RE THE ONLY ONES THAT HAVE WHAT YOU WANT! Makes me so pissed off I want to scream at my computer screen sometimes. Then there is the losers with downloading complex downloading rules who will ban anyone and everyone who doesn't meet their standards. It's an amazing program when you have a good day on it and is actually pretty fun once you know what your doing. But every so often you will just have days where everything goes wrong, so wrong that you are just left with half an album you wanted out of many and the rage of a thousand suns.

>>17093
>Then there are the people that cut you off or go offline when your in the middle of downloading something especially IF THEY'RE THE ONLY ONES THAT HAVE WHAT YOU WANT

Oh Haruhi this is terrible. I have some downloads that are on hold literally for months because the cocksucker who have files went offline one day and never came back, and apparently he is the only who has the stuff I want.

There were many, many albums that I had to complete with the files from another user because the one I started with vanished from the face of the earth halfway through. Worse yet is when you start downloading something in, let's say, 320 bitrate, but then the guy cuts you off and you are forced to download some shitty files with 96bitrate because they are the only other ones avaliable.

Fuck Soulseek. As you said, it's a good program in itself, but the people in ruin everything.

>>17093
>>17095
What's the deal with Soulseek, anyway? I thought proprietary Napster-y P2P things were already long dead.

>>17097

It remains a good source for more obscure electronic music, classical, and a few other things. But as explained, the community is full of assholes.

>>17098
Yeah it's definitely the way to go for just about anything music these days since things on file sharing networks are being deleted at the speed of light now. I also try to look for the highest quality possible and Soulseek makes that very easy. If someone cuts me off in the middle of a 320 mp3 download and no one else has it I just wait for them to come back because there's no way I'm having one album with half good and half shit quality files.

"Edgy" stand-up comedians who think they're giving you a hard dose of reality, when they're really just loud obnoxious douchebags

>>17119
That guy isn't even hispanic, he just pretends to be for his act, and much of his material is stolen.
but yeah, guys like that who think loud bullying and calling people retards is somehow funny bug me too.

Hypocrites in general really irritate me. Particularly, stupid people that mistakenly believe they're super intelligent while complaining about the stupidity of others.

Also, passive-aggressive behavior and anyone who frequently uses it.

It pisses me off when people I talk with online pretend to be ignorant of a well established fact they almost certainly know about, just to make you waste your time collecting proof they could easily find themselves but refuse to becuase they claim the 'burden' is on you.

>>17644
I'm not sure what you mean

>>17645
Exactly.

>>17644
Purposeful ignorance gets me very mad, there is almost nothing that gets me more angry and it definitely isn't limited to the internet for me. Like family members not wanting to know something about me they do not like so they just dance around whatever it is pretending they don't know exactly what I'm talking about when I'm trying to tell them. Or the way they harass me and when I get snap back they throw their hands in the air and play victim as I'm just the "crazy person" with no self control.

One of Pixiv's results sorting buttons overlap the first page button, so when I go to click it I keep clicking that damn button

My headphones. they're noise canceling and use a battery, but they stay on even when there's no audio single unless manually turned off, and I forget to turn them off all the damn time. leaving them on will kill the battery in less than 24 hours. if I wasn't using rechargeable batterys, the headphones would cost me hundreds to maintain.

I hate how everyone seems to think I'm some sort of tech-wizard just because I know a few things about computers. Then when I explain that I don't know about some particular program/website/etc, they assume I don't know anything and try to provide their own solution, which usually has no basis in logic.

>>17748

My parents assume I'm lying when I say I don't know something. I'm on the computer all day, so surely I know every single thing about shitbookor internet explorer or any other dumb thing they ask about!

>>17749
Same here. My mother herself spends hours on the computer and she could google all the shit she asks me.

>>17749
Luckily my mother doesn't ask me too much about the computer, my father has his own so he doesn't at all. Usually if my mother has an issue, 90% of the time it's something easy to work out but all the other times when something goes wrong and I can't do anything about it or worse know what the problem is and can't do anything about it she starts getting pissed over it because she also thinks I'm some sort of pc wizard when I just simply know my way around it a little more than the average person.

>>17748 >>17749 >>17750 >>17754
i work in IT and still feel this way. it feels like 90% of my job is turning computers off and on again, or googling something and poking around inside of a computer for a minute or two. i google things on my phone so they dont just think im some guy copying things off google but some kind of tech wizard ww

seriously tho what i hate is that people value basic tech assistance (help how do i refresh pages in internet explorer lol) more than programming jobs or database maintenance or sysadminning shit. what do you guys think that computers take care of themselves or something? the reason why machines work well for the most part is because of the expertise of those who set up machines and keep an eye on them. ive done so many little scripting jobs or little software hacks by now

I understand that you're supposed to keep your voice down in a library, but when you're speaking to someone, they need to be able to hear you.

I work at a library, and when someone asks me for help, half the time they'll speak so quietly I have to ask them to repeat themselves at least twice. And then I still can't understand them, because the thought "maybe I'm speaking too quietly?" never occurs to them.

Then there's the people who do the opposite because they don't know what an indoor voice is.

I hate it when people say popularity or a fan base doesn't matter in media and it shouldn't effect how you view it or feel about it.
That's right, it shouldn't but it does matter, peer pressure bitches, have you not heard of it?!
Jesus christ, you'd think people who hate hive minded normals and almost everything they like would understand a little.
like it or not, their opinions are gonna stick with you, even if it's just a tiny bit in the back of your mind, and it'll effect how you perceive whatever it is you're viewing.

It's kind of like this image here, if no one said anything about it, you'd see the image at face value and take it as you would.
but if I was to tell you the word 'sex' is spelled out in the background at the bottom. once you've seen it that would be all you could see when looking at the image, and you'd never be able to unsee it.
This is kind of what happened to me when I watched rozen maiden, at the time I didn't go to 4chan, but guess what it changed how I viewed the series a little. and just as you can't unsee the word in that image, I can't unassociate desu with /b/. I could name off other examples but I think you get the idea.

Besides all that, how popular something is has a huge impact on popular trends. you think producers aren't gonna want to get in on whats popular? why do you think we have so many call of duty clones flooding the market? you think it's a Haruhi damn coincidence or something?!
Someone might say to me "hey buddy, who cares if that thing you don't like is popular, what difference does it make?" but then clones take over the industry and you can't 'just ignore it' anymore becuase it's suddenly everywhere now. I bet people who didn't like dubstep were told to 'just ignore it' and now you can't get away with it.

>>17933
Another thing.
You can only listen to obnoxious people droning on and on about something endlessly until it makes you want to do one of two things, tell them to fuck off and try even harder and harder to avoid and ignore it or just join in.

I hate it when power adapters have the huge ass adapter part right at the plug, instead of inline.
Man, Fuck the people who keep making them like that, what the fuck is wrong with them? do they think people have unlimited power outlets or something? shit! even if you have a power strip, these things are so fucking fat they can block the plugs next to them. Do they think their device is the only one I'm gonna have plugged in or something? and then on top of that, these fat fucking pieces of shit are so heavy sometimes they'll hang loose off wall outlets.

I saw a picture a while ago with a surge strip with various plugs in it, with labels denoting different nationalities, as if the plugs represented the essence of each.

A small plug with two USB ports was Japanese, an adaptor plug with a second plug on the outside was German, a plug with the adapter in line was British, and the huge power adapter that took up half of each plug on either side of it was American.

I laughed.

>>18477
The power strip I use for my computer might as well only have four outlets on it instead of six because of those fucking things.

>>18477
I hate that too, its just a cost cutting measure. I also hate that those litle transformer thingys waste so much power. If you've ever touched one, its more than likely pretty warm, plugging one of those in is basically like turning on tiny heater on for 24 hours a day. The only way to stop that is to flip the switch off at the powerpoint, but then the appliance has to do something stupid like lose all its memory or reboot when you turn it back on or something.

I can't stand people with dogmatic political beliefs. I lean fairly far to the left, but that doesn't mean I think that every Republican is a terrible person who hates all women and black people. I work at a college, and it seems that every person there thinks that. During the election, all I could hear was everyone talking about how Romney is the devil, but never hearing any qualms with the right other than "they're all bad people"

People who get into relationships where they raise someone else's kid. If you had a kid with someone and it didn't work out with that person, there is probably something wrong with you being such a poor judge of character.
This is mostly something that makes me mad about my stepdad. My mom pretended to be a nice woman when she met him and introduced us, and then the poor sap fell for it and got married. Now he works over 70 hours a week while my mom lazes off and scolds him for not making enough money to support my younger siblings.
Not to mention her selling off his collection of playboy magazines, his rock and jazz records at garage sales, and pretty much anything that he ever enjoyed.
I don't know whether to feel sad for, or laugh at the idiots who fall into situations like that. They get every single negative of being with another person, but not even the benefits of raising their own blood. I wonder if they're just cuckolds in the closet.

People who write "(sp?)" after words they're not sure they spelled correctly. In the age of Google, there is NO excuse to not take five Haruhidamn seconds out of your oh-so-busy day to look up how to spell a simple word. It's just fucking lazy.

>>18590
Actually, I wonder how they even misspell things at all given we have spellcheck now.

>>18591
Probably because some people are too stupid to understand what the red lines mean.

>>18597
