Jesus Christ, being a kid these days must fucking suck. All the cool toys are basically made and priced for 30-something manchildren. Can't go anywhere to hang out in real life because everyone sees you as a nuisance. Can't get into any hobby because you have scalpers literally getting into brawls over trading cards. The internet has been whittled down to like a half dozen sites and none of them are made with you in mind. The places that are marketed as made "for kids" are overrun with fucking groomers and paedophiles. The entertainment that Youtube claims is for children is fetishistic slop by creators, at best, trying to make a quick buck and, at worst, trying to give children nightmares.

Edit: Also forgot to mention that every kid these days has their every waking fucking moment being recorded, knowing that entire world can see their worst moments at the tap of a finger.

The phrase "baby name/s". It's not something specific to babies, it's just a regular name. They're not like baby teeth, you dont grow out of it and get a new name when you're 10.
 
People who write things like "I moved to Italy from Spain". It should never, under any circumstances, be "to X from Y". Ever hear someone say "to Z from A" or "to stern from stem"? No, because it's retarded.

I'm guessing it's mostly ESL speakers who talk this way. I hope so.

The only acceptable variant would be "I moved there from Spain" because it's less confusing. Also note that I said "write": I get saying it the wrong way because you're amending your thought mid-sentence, but if you're writing you should be editing for clarity.

I can't tell you how many fat, chipmunk-cheeked neckbeards wearing thick glasses I have seen, who've asked me "WHEN DU U HAVE MORE HOT WHEELS IN STOCK?!" like as if that is his entire life's existence. They hover around the displays like desperate sharks, waiting for some special kind of vehicle they want or they buy as many as possible. It is the same thing with cards as you've mentioned, it's the same thing with figures .etc

And I will add to that, that the music that is marketed as kid-friendly, has softcore porn for lyrics. Not direct, but suggestive enough, like grooming kids to be sex dolls. It's uncomfortable how pop music has devolved into grooming kids and even teens to doll themselves up and be sluts or whores in their futures like that. If people don't believe me, Demi Lovato's Cool for the Summer is an example I think of about the kind of music that kids/teens listen to.

Parents don't respect their children. Politicians weaponize children to get laws passed. Children shuffled left and right about what to believe and even worse, be told to invalidate themselves for brownie points with the LGBTQ community when they're just trying to figure themselves out. Gotta get 'em recruits, troons!

The 90s to me was the last generation where being a kid meant being a kid and being a kid was cool.

The "big boss," might decide he’s gonna do a surprise "walk" through. Everyone has to wear their clown suits like they’re in a military parade.

Nearly stepping in dog shit. Owners who don't clean up after their dogs should be beaten to death with nail-studded Louisville Sluggers.

Thread tax: finding my neighbor's mail in my mailbox for the thousandth fucking time. Postal workers certainly get paid enough to give a shit. There's no excuse, not when my name is clearly visible on the damn lid.

I still get mail addressed to my former roommate who moved out in March, and Travel and Leisure magazines addressed to the previous tenant of my apartment.

TAX: When the title for a video for a song states there's lyrics, but it's not in the video, but instead in the description or buried in the comments.

A couple of years ago I had a civil service job that required me to go to one of the crappiest neighborhoods in my city, and the amount of dog shit littering the streets was disgusting. Every goddamn street was covered in shit, and none of the neighbors seemed to be bothered by its presence or its smell.

Some neighbors even purposely let the dogs out to shit in the street so they wouldn't have to clean up their own yard... Without a doubt, one of the most disgusting experiences of my life.
 
It has been said plenty of times, and it will be said over again: Littering.

The littering in my town has amped up over the years due to immigration and its genuinely pisses me off when braindeads chuck their trash out their car window and onto the street. It sucks for the residents, it sucks for the wildlife, and it sucks for the infrastructure.

I was walking a few days ago to my place. Walking along the street, I found so many bottles, cans, bags, and even a rotten can of fucking clams. And I cleaned it up and tossed them to the nearest dumpster because unlike some people, I give a shit about garbage roaming around in my town. I cleaned up a mess that I shouldn't fucking have to.

Hey, stupid ass pajeet, America is not your trash bin.
 
When you talk to someone a few times and they instantly think you're their best friend, and cling to you.
 
Fake influencer advertising.

Almost every add I see now is some obnoxious zoomie shilling a shity phone game or green juice. Also, WHY ARE THEY HOLDING ON TO THE LAV MIC. CLIP IT TO YOUR SHIRT OR BUY A MIC STAND.

I miss the shamwow guy.
 
Too many fucking updates.

Discord has updated itself about what feels like 10 times in one month alone. NVIDIA has pushed out an update like twice a month. There should be only two kinds of updates, one where it's critical and needs a patch. The other can be pushed out when there is a feature that needs to be added or removed.

I'm sick of these updates where it feels like someone got an idea they took a minute to think about and shoved it all out for everyone. "HAY! LETS MOVE DIS BUTTON! UPDATE NOW! AND WE DECIDED ON ROUNDED CORNERS INSTEAD OF SHARP POINTY CORNERS!" Go fuck yourself.
 
Did anyone else see a bunch of shitheads driving this morning?
  • A mid lifer, balding white man with a convertible Porsche driving like an absolute cunt:
    • Driving 20 over in a National Park.
    • Tailgating a guy in the left lane. (I get it, the Uber driver should have been in the right lane, but he was doing the speed limit.)
    • Brake checking the same guy after he passed on the right before accelerating away like an asshole.
  • A rice burner in a GT86 passing someone on a double yellow on a pseudo residential street because they were going the speed limit. The Tesla immediately behind him was trying to pass the same car on the right to make a right turn.
  • Retard in a van made a left turn when the light was red. He even proceeded to stop at the red light before he turned so great, I guess?
  • Some middling US Army officer who nearly took the front off my car when he cut over to another gate to get in the parking deck because he can’t shoulder check. This was especially obnoxious, because he didn’t even go in the entrance for that gate, but cut back over to go up to the top level. He then proceeded to fellate a senior officer on the phone during the train ride.
My drive is only about 12 minutes, but holy shit, it was particularly bad this morning.

I still get mail from the previous owner who died in 2016. The DMV sent a renewal notice; I wrote “Return to sender, addressee deceased.” It came back to me as “Undeliverable as addressed.” Really? The DMV has an undeliverable return address? No wonder motor voter fraud is so rampant.

Driving on the freeway. When I drive in a 70 mph zone I go 79. This is great speed becasue I've driven right past cops at this speed and they do not care. However at this speed, I'll be going past people going 65-60 in the right lane and I will still have motherfuckers riding right up on my ass wanting to pass me, so I'm constantly having to switch lanes to let people pass. It's fucking infuriating. But when the speed limit is 75 mph I go ~83 mph. At this speed I zoom past everyone, once in a blue moon someone will go faster than me, but it's way easier to let them pass. I just don't understand how going 4 mph faster makes such a huge difference. Driving in a 75 zone is wonderful, but in a 70 zone it's a fucking nightmare.

Edit: Also, no one seems to know how to use cruise control, which just adds another layer of frustration to it, someone will alternate between being right behind me to way behind me. I'll get over to let them pass and they just won't. It's also great when they're in front of you. I fucking love having to turn cruise control on and off constantly because the fucker in front of me can't pick a fucking speed. If my 15 year old shitbox can use cruise control then your shiny new car can too.

Switching lanes to allow faster traffic to pass doesn’t bother me; it’s the drivers that can’t maintain a constant speed on the road who drive (HA!) me insane. I don’t care what speed you go as long as it is constant, including up and down grades.

The second best invention in a car was cruise control. The first best invention is adaptive cruise control as people fail to use cruise control. I really enjoy people who not only don't maintain a constant speed but will actually BRAKE going uphill.

I’m convinced, especially with the omnipresence of automatics in the US, that people are driving with their left foot on the brake because I’ve had cars pull away while their brake lights are on.

I’m fucking done with these white niggers letting their off-leash dogs just run up to me and mine at the park. It’s been really bad this year and, frankly, I’m ready to just let the dogfight happen because if these faggot retards can’t be bothered to care for the well-being of their own goddamn dogs then why should I?
 
I fucking hate tea bagging, taunting and general disrespect on fighting games. I get that it's retarded to expect anything from people online and you win nothing by being respectful, but it really gets me. What's worst is when they taunt and one and done or don't even care for rematching or finishing the set, just fuck you lmao. It gets me wingsofredemption levels of reee at times.
