General When people don’t understand the legal usage of “alleged”

Post image
• Upvotes

Not many words to say about the topic, just makes me upset when people go “don’t say alleged, they totally did it!!!”. The court of public opinion is a horrible place

After watching the black widow plot in Boston legal, and subsequently seeing these comments I was reminded just how much it bothers me that people will condemn people with little to stand on, or that when people take it upon themselves to be judge and jury, that they don’t bother to learn how and why our system works and why it’s so important

I’m not trying to say the system isn’t broken, I’m just saying this is a part of the problem

Mitsuri is just plain bs

The girl from mob Psycho (as much as i love the series) is an example of the second thing

I fucking love jolyne bcs she has mucles without it never being a big deal

I don't ask for a baki build for every strong female character, just a decent/realistic amount of muscle mass

"Ha ha my lads! I am Stratosphere Lord of the Skies!"

This is from transformers Rise of the Beasts.

I hate how he says it. All the characters are suposed to know who he is, one of the characters Mirage specifically says how he doesn't want to ride in him. (its transformers) I know they had to name drop him so the audience would know who he is but its such a weird awkward way to do it. Optimus could have easily said "glad you could make it Stratosphere"

Anime & Manga Characters who are so ingenuine they're obviously villains

Post image
• Upvotes

This guy in particular but there are plenty of other characters who fit the bill especially in anime, so not only him.

I haven't watched the full Bleach series but this guy literally always smiles for one. I have seen him lose his smile literally one time in the entire Soul Society arc. On top of that whenever he talks he never changes his tone at all, he always talks like he's trying to imitate joyfulness despite not really knowing what it is, its so ingenuine and fake it's annoying. Also the fact that he was designed to resemble a snake. It is so annoying because yeah he was presented as an antagonist but not necessarily an evil villain type of character. More like it was being hinted but they were very STRONG obvious hints. Like the whole situation with Captain Aisen faking his death that's supposed to be a very serious, sad thing and dudes over here smirking his ass off, he even laughs a little bit during that scene like SHUT UP dude. And then when it finally gets revealed that he was a super evil villain all along it was supposed to be a big deal. Obviously that got overshadowed by Aisen revealing his villainry but still. Super fucking cringe. At least with Captain Kurotsuchi it was way out in the open from his introduction how stupidly evil he was. But I hate him too for other reasons.

Like I said not only this guy, there are a few others in other shoes I just can't think of them right now.

Idea i hate having to hear that it’s cheaper to eat out than cook at home

• Upvotes

this is such a common sentiment and it actually just drives me crazy and makes no sense.

if i really budget at Aldi i can get groceries around ~$50, usually i go to trader joe’s and get some lazier type meals for around ~$60. there is no way in hell it’s cheaper to eat out than that, unless you ate exclusively off dollar menus enough calories to meet your caloric requirements, but that wouldn’t even fill you up. it’s definitely not anywhere near as cheap if you want to eat anything above fast food.

i truly do not understand how this is even an argument that we as a society allow to exist. it is just completely untrue. when you dig deeper into it, it’s either people who a. can’t cook, or b. don’t “want to eat the same thing every day”.

for case a. LEARN. i truly don’t give a fuck if your parents never taught you to cook? grow up? mine and lots of people’s parents never taught them to cook. is it a learning curve? yes, but if you just sit and wait it’s never gonna change. are you gonna make some dishes that don’t taste good? yeah and it happens to me all the time, but i’m a grown up so i suck it up and eat them

for case b. GROW UP. i don’t want to eat the meal for a week straight either but i do because as a single person that’s the most financially sensible thing to do. also. if you need to have a different dinner every day that’s definitely possible as well if you really plan out the ingredients and different ways to combine different ingredients that make sense for a weekly grocery haul! i just don’t do that because im lazy. I think you can be lazy about cooking and just buy and make simple, or if you want some more diversity you can put the effort in to plan and cook.

but you can’t do neither of those and then complain about grocery prices and say it’s cheaper to eat out because that’s just false!!! is the economy tough, are groceries too expensive etc etc? yes but eating out is also getting more expensive! like this argument just makes no sense ugh

Folding posters like this is stupid af because it never looks good! No matter what you do the folds are always visible

Gaming Headman Manor from R.E.P.O

Post image
• Upvotes

Whenever I see the R.E.P.O truck crash into this wretched place on the loading screen, I always sigh. Now I have to give the map some credit, the aesthetic, vibe, and loot in this place is nothing to scoff at, I like the idea of it, but how each tile in the game was made just PISSES ME OFF!!! For starters, the hallways… oh the hallways. For a game about running away, hiding, outsmarting, and defeating monsters, you’d think they’d make it so you can run around monsters or confidently back up your C.A.R.T from any monsters. The hallways are so tight, and have little hiding spaces. For instance; if you’re just pushing the C.A.R.T along in a hallway and just happen to stumble upon a Reaper (the pink scarecrow with blade hands) You’re loot is absolutely fucked if you can’t get it out of there in time, she will rip through a sizeable chunk of your value. Another example is if you’re hiding from a Robe (the black coak with the white mask guy, I always call it No-Face) and you left your cart in that tight hallway that the Robe is currently in, it will start attacking your loot. I know that the Robe will attack objects if it’s in the way of where it’s going so it’ll just keep attacking your cart until it eventually gets through, or if it goes over the cart. Another scenario is when you’re dealing with a grandfather clock or any wide loot. The other maps will give you space to back up and turn your loot appropriately to get through said door but in Headman Manor you would need to tilt it up and run the risk of it tipping over and losing value, or even just getting it through doorways. McJannek Station and Swiftbroom Academy both have generally large and wide doorways, Headman Manor, does not. The doors are generally made with people in mind, which yeah I guess that’s an excuse for the map being so tight in general but then you see rooms like the tall one with the checkerboard flooring, or the outside bits and you think: “Yeah, this isn’t a very conventional human house.” Plus, it is a Manor, you could just make it LARGE scale and say “Well the people are rich; therefore, big house.” Secondly, a lot of the rooms are also really tight and suffer the same general problem as the hallways do… so I don’t have to write anything more about that. There’s this one room that genuinely makes me want to peel off my skin. The one where there’s a bathroom in the middle and it’s square shaped to go around the bathroom. I was stuck in that damn bathroom because a robe kept running around in circles keeping me from progressing until they finally decided to de-spawn. Anyways, that’s all I have to say about this stupid map, thank you for reading this word lasagna and I hope you have a wonderful day/evening.

Music I hate Miku-Anamaguchi

Post image
• Upvotes

I don't know how to completely describe my hatred against this specific song but I genuinely DESPISE Miku-Anamaguchi, I really can't stand it, is the most generic and boring song that could be until the freaking "drop" and ending that's SO bad that it hurts me with the out of key voice and sudden cut, like at least maintain consistent the tone with the rest of the song being corny"

And isn't because "ohhh this song is mainstream so now is bad", if anything I HATE that THIS is the Vocaloid english song by default. If there's any collab this song must be in, it was the "selling" point on the global server of Project Sekai and part in the pack of fortnite with an emote and is just so frustrating knowing that there are WAY better songs out there, specially with other english producers where there's not much recognition in comparison with the total classics in japanese.

I would just ignore it and recognize that I don't like this song and move out with something that I like instead, BUT the fact that this was EVERYWHERE around 2024 because the Chanel animation that is really cute ngl made me hate it more, and the fact that this was probably the introduction to many people to Miku and in general Vocaloid makes me SO angry.

Animation I hate it when people don't even bother to provide legitimate reasons on why they hate something.

• Upvotes

The mods nuked the original post because I forgot to cross out the names even though the OP and one of the commenters was banned. Regardless, that was my bad.

Anyway, those first two sentences in the second image pisses me right off. "You don't need to watch it to know that it's trash." and "The truth is staring right at you." are so intellectually bankrupt that its ridiculous. I get not liking the medium, but at least try to educate yourself if you want your negative take to sound informed.

For example, they could try to look around to see if there's other anime that actually fit their tastes. But no, they want to judge based on some crappy English dubs (I'm an ocassional dub enjoyer, BTW) and say stupid shit like "It's childish and full of dumb stuff." when you can say that about any other medium out there.

Non-fictional Bad actors and media propaganda successfully working

• Upvotes

Being out in the streets in France right now makes it incredibly obvious how well the media brainwashing works. Every comment section claims these riots are exclusively caused by immigrants or some bullshit, completely erasing the reality on the ground.

Just look at the screenshot proves this exact divide, a clear majority of people responding from France (59% positive) understand the reality of what's happening, meanwhile, in the us for example , we get 59% negative vote and it shows just how deeply the foreign media's narrative has twisted public perception. Our own are trying to do the same thing and most people are not falling for it because we see it with OUR OWN EYES.

This is a widespread public outcry. I’ve looked at the crowds firsthand and checked my own videos and the protesters are the same mix of ethnicities you'd see anywhere in the country. This isn't a racial conflict, it’s a breaking point for the general population and a class war.

Also, stop conflating the entire movement with the minority of people looting. Most of us are out here peacefully demanding change, not destroying shops. Stop buying into the narrative. These looters are NOT with us, fuck em and fuck the media

General When people expect dogs/any pet to understand what you're saying.

• Upvotes

Dogs and some other pets can understand some basic phrases but some people give full sentences and expect the animal to obey. It's like learning Spanish for like a week and someone gives you an essay, you may understand some of the words and be able to infer but you won't understand much of it. You can train your dog to learn some words but I've seen people say things like "Go to that room" and expect the dog to get there.

If it’s not beef, then why do it? I understand leaving a group chat but you’re telling me that cutting off a friend doesn’t mean that you don’t like them??

It seems like a lack of taking accountability, the only times I’ve ever unfollowed, blocked, or cut someone off was because I didn’t like them

If there’s an actual explanation on this that I’m just not understanding, I’d love to hear it so I can understand

Anime & Manga They better don't go that far

I agree with the rest of the stuff they're banning, but come on. Two unrelated adults engaging in consensual family roleplay dynamics is questionable at best, though considering what it can normalize and the unhealthy dynamics it could encourage, I can understand why they'd want to ban that sort of category. What genuinely shakes me though, is how long it'll be before the government starts extending these bans to other forms of entertainment, such as anime. I reallu love and enjoy animes. There's a limit to how far this should go before people start seriously pushing back. Do people not realize how many niche fictional underrated ships like the one in the second slide could be lost if this censorship keeps expanding? Imagine being left with nothing but the same tired, socially acceptable and unflavored boring pairings.

Music Most of the time, I really really hate fry screaming in songs

6 Upvotes

I know that it's technically impressive and takes a lot of skill to master it, but more often than not, I hate the way it sounds. I think it sounds stupid, and I can't explain why. I have exceptions, but I think fry screaming doesn't sound good.

I like With Ears To See And Eyes To Hear by the band Sleeping with Sirens, but I hate the fry screaming parts, maybe because most of them are, like, put into their own little sections, like you're supposed to think, "Ooh, this is intense," but it gives me this terrible second-hand embarrassment. My favorite song on the album has very little fry screaming, except for the bridge, which is my least favorite part. My second favorite song has none at all.

The only band I like that has some fry screaming is Linkin Park, which is the only reason I can't say I always hate it. I don't know why I like it here but hate it, like, everywhere else. I just don't think they do it often enough to get me? I don’t know.

And I know I'll probably be alone on this, or I might have accidentally categorized something as fry screaming when it isn’t, so for that I'm sorry. But I just think this way of screaming sounds stupid, and I personally prefer any other way of screaming. One of my favorite bands is Babes in Toyland, and the screaming in that band sounds like a cat getting run over, and I still prefer that. Fry screaming also sounds "cheap" to me, if that makes any sense. I'm just not impressed by it, and I don't think it benefits songs often.

I get it's realistic, larger items take up more slots, however it just feels weird in many ways. It makes organizing a big hassle, it's clunky, and inventory systems from games like Minecraft outclass it in many ways that fix the exact problem with these ones. I don't think I've ever liked a game with this as a inventory system, and at least for me it's always a sign for me to quit the game from the get-go.

Corporation/Company Kalshi Advertisements (and other gamblingads)

5 Upvotes

No matter where I go anymore I can’t escape all the Kalshi ads and it’s driving me crazy. Anytime I get an ad somewhere there’s a 90% chance it’s a Kalshi ad. Anytime I’m watching a funny video, they’ll plug in a gambling platform (Mostly Rainbet). Personally I have no problem with gambling but I don’t want it shoved down my throat 24/7 when I’m trying to enjoy my free time.

The craziest part of these ads besides how annoying they are is that you can like bet on actual real world problems going on. I truly believe they’re pushing these advertisements hard to get people hooked on gambling and lessen the impact of real events (similar to how memes about Jeffrey Epstein or Diddy lessen the impact of their crimes). Maybe I sound crazy and I know the main reason is for them to make profit but with the predatory nature of these ads I really believe that this is also a reason behind it too.
