Wasn't the Annoying Orange a YouTube hit? Such a shame CN gets some of the worst the Internet can offer. Like Nick with Fred.

 

Talking about TV, I hate when food is advertised as fun. I have never met anybody nor have I experienced "fun" whlist eating cookies, chips, or petty snacks. Even a glorious milanesa sandwich isn't fun to it; enjoyable, but not fun. Out of all the things they could talk about (taste, cost, acessbility) they gotta talk about fun. Marketing makes up 35% of these companies budget? Lol.

You know what's even worse? 20 years from now some people will say they watched that show as a kid and it was great. Nostalgia does that to you.

God forbid little kids like stupid stuff.

That's the curse of being a 90s kid. I'm stuck with the people who think the original Pokemon was good.

I guarantee that a lot of the stuff that the current 18-21 group had on TV was stupid as well. A lot of us will still swear by it today.

Realising that the job you're currently doing is below your skill level, and feeling bored rigid as a result.

Yeah that's what i'm saying. For example Space Jam. I thought that was a great movie until I saw it again when I was older. What a terrible movie that was.

Nostalgia hurts somehow

Going to use my sister to explain two types of people I hate.

 

First and mostly, short-sighted people of all kinds, but usually when it comes to spending.

 

Today my sister bought Super Meat Boy on Steam, despite having heard that it doesn't control well on PC. "I know", she said, "but I don't have an Xbox and I really want to play." Fair enough. So she buys it, and complains that she doesn't like the controls. She asks me if I have one of those PC controllers. I had an old one lying around, so we hooked up, and after a few minutes she complains "It's too much like a PS2 controller, I'm used to Xbox!"

 

Now she wants to buy one that's closer to the Xbox. She'll end up paying all of that money for something she'll only use for one game, which she'll undoubtedly find too hard and give up on within a week or two (she has a tendency to die two or three times and declare a game impossible). I told her she should have held off on buying it if she wasn't sure of it, and she responded with some wonderful logic: "Well I don't have an Xbox, so I didn't have a choice!"

 

In general, she's someone who will see a trailer and pre-order, buying things just after seeing an advertisement. After all, the commercial said it was awesome! To end this segment, she is currently convinced that the Kinect is a great product, and is saving up for an Xbox and the Kinect because of two games that she wants.

 

Second, posers.

 

This one doesn't require as much of an explanation. Suffice it to say, despite having never liked it in her life, when it became popular to like Pokemon, my sister decided that it was her entire childhood.

Nostalgia does that to you.

 

I know right!

I get a message of someone complaining they can't see my png transparency and asking me to change my layout to make it readable.

 

I ask her what browser she uses, she answers IE6. Derp.

 

I don't see why I should accommodate you when you're too moronic / lazy to download a modern browser. Enjoy unreadable page. /facepalm Except I said it more politely. >.>

Why does it take so long for these forums to load for me? >.>

 

Maybe it's because I'm using the Tip.it theme.

Sun Burns. Sun Burns are stupid.

Lol, for a second there I thought you were talking about a person named "Sun Burns"...since it's actually one word :P

 

I agree (I have one right now) but it doesn't annoy me too much as it's entirely preventable and I have only myself to blame..

Password restrictions. Passwords must have letters and numbers. Passwords must have at least one capitalized letter. Passwords must not exceed five digits long. Passwords must be changed every 3 months. Passwords are my own [bleep]ing countersign so I can access the damn site.

I feel ya, Giordano. Working for the government, passwords are hell.

 

>At least 15 characters long.

>Contain at least one lower case letter, one upper case letter, one special character, one number.

>Cannot start with a number or special character.

etc etc etc

 

And even then, I've made a password that works on one computer enclave, but it doesn't on a different one (the two enclaves having the same password rules, too).

Sun Burns. Sun Burns are stupid.

 

The good thing about being from Sicily and living in England - I never come close to burning. :razz:

Is it possible to make an already difficult game more difficult? YES.

But you probably don't get enough vitamin D, especially in the winter. There are some advantages to being fair-skinned, such as needing a lot less time in the sun than a tan person to get the same amount of vit D.

I am seriously annoyed by how our government acts sometimes. Like we truly are the USA's [bleep] or something, even though we are on a different continent and have absolutely none whatsoever common history.

 

One example: the word "neeger", which means black person in English was banned for use in any printed text. I have no [bleep]ing idea why it would be needed to do, since the word has absolutely no discriminating-whatever meaning at all. Just a black person. Just the same way as you call white people Caucasian or Asian people Asian. Instead, the government proposed the word "mustanahalised", which literally means "black-skinned". It would be fine in English, but the word "must" means besides black also dirty or stained. So they changed the word rather into a more racist version, in my opinion. All of the cultural elite in the country was outraged about it, since they understood it the same way as I do. The only reason why the government would ban that word would be because it resembles English word "[racist term]", which is offensive and racist. And the government supported their choice by saying that it this word is supposed to be banned in any developed country, even by just physical resemblance.

 

And talking on the subject of that, there isn't anyone to offend with the word "[racist term]" either, since our black population is practically non-existant. You could walk around the capital for a day while meeting maybe one-two black people. Have fun searching anywhere else, since you wouldn't find any.

Every internet debate will reach the point where both sides start doing nothing but calling the other out on their logical fallacies. I find it annoying because it's the point when they stop discussing points and facts and the like and start peacocking.

 

Bonus rage if they don't actually understand the fallacy they're accusing someone of, which is usually what happens when someone throws around the phrase 'ad hominem'.

At some point, both sides run out of arguments but still have plenty of passion about the topic. I've realized that you'll never be able to convert anybody over the internet so I'll usually keep quiet unless someone is legitimately wrong about something.

 

I hate how everybody in my area sucks at using self-checkout lines. All I have is 2 pints of ice cream and I'm waiting behind a person with a cart full of junk who can't figure out how to freaking scan an item.

People who get angry at and report other people for playing a game like a normal person. I know there are stupid people in every online multiplayer game ever, but they seem to be more concentrated in the most overrated franchise of all time.
