Since we're on cars, why do so many people drive like they're 96 years old? Like the speed limit is for emergency vehicles only? Coming to a complete stop before making a turn as if you need to squeak forward at a human walking pace to get a car around a smooth 50-90 degree angle. Getting on an onramp and remembering you're supposed to accelerate when they're 3/4 of the way down it. Approaching their exit and slowing down a half mile beforehand like there isn't a goddamn offramp for it. Immediately getting into the passing lane and cruising at a speed slower than the traffic to their right.

I want a bazooka mounted on my car every time I leave the house. Speed limits were calculated *decades ago* when cars had 3x+ the stopping distance they do today. Go 10-20 over the speed limit. Please. Dear God. There is no reason to wander around at 10 UNDER.

The amount of people who are not at freeway speed by the time they get to the end of the ramp is baffling and infuriating. What really kills me is, once they have disrupted the flow of traffic by limping onto the freeway doing 10-20 miles per hour under the speed limit, they finally decide to put the hammer down, to the point where I can see the carbon build up coming out of their exhaust. We are surrounded by morons.

It's this sort of behaviour that makes me think even if we finally get the government to rethink update the slow speed limits still left over from the sixties, it won't matter. While on paper at 130 limit on the highway would make travel so much quicker, will we ever actually reach it when it still seems like half the people in the existing 110 zones insist on doing 90?

Add in the dipshits who slow/slam the brakes to let these knuckle-draggers merge in front of them. Motherfuckers, it's called a ‘freeway’, but that doesn’t mean you have to be charitable; they can ride the shoulder until traffic clears.

I don't know if its just the stores here, but I was in giant tiger today just picking up some whipped cream for my pie i got for thanksgiving(Canadian thanksgiving is on monday), and I noticed that the halloween section had actually shrunk since the last time i was in a couple weeks prior, and the christmas stuff has grown. i mean the halloween stuff had maybe 1 little shelf and a table near the door, and the christmas stuff has a whole section to itself, and its only half way through october. I was at walmart a few days prior, and noticing it was about 50/50 christmas and halloween-which makes at least little bit more sense. Walmart was carting out christmas stuff the first week of september long before the halloween stuff even came out. is halloween just dying or something, or am i suffering some kind of mandella-effect like stroke or something? i swear when i was a kid and a teenager, the halloween section was way bigger and almost exclusively out until about november when they change over to christmas stuff. then i noticed they started rolling out christmas stuff in late october, then early october, then late september and so on in small sections, but this year it seems like its big fucking sections in early september. i love christmas and all, but are they seriously trying to phase out halloween or something? if so, its sad they are doing that to halloween as i like that day,too.

Stores like Walmart and Dollar Tree have huge areas for Halloween shopping, but trick or treat has died out in my town. Nobody does it anymore sadly. I never see kids walking around outside, and nobody ever shows up at my doorstep. I think the fucking morons in my town are scared of being attacked by pedophiles or something. They now have trunk or treat in the strip mall parking lot nearby, but I stopped paying attention.
 
I'm beyond sick of seeing people riding their e-bikes dangerously in between cars in the street. For some reason it's mostly teens. (I mean, I know why. Teenagers think they're invincible)

At this point I think all e-bike riders should be forced to take driving classes before being allowed to drive one.

One day this will lead to a serious accident, although at this rate I guarantee there have been some deaths.
 
A steady stream of ads on game apps. It's like they downloaded the data of every Cairo salesman into those fucking things. Fuck you, Temu, fuck you PayPal, and fuck you Google Play. And again, FUCK YOU, TEMU. I look at an ankle brace one time on their site, and their corporate Chinky ads pop up every now and then, but ESPECIALLY on my slew of Google Play games.

@Jace on ice Over on my end, there's a government... slogan, if you will: 'Keep Britain Tidy', and, also, in parks, there's 'Leaving me is an offence', or words like that... but you'd swear littering continues to get worse. Scumfuckers must think they're hard, because that's their anti-establishment rebellion.

israel and palestine being EVERYWHERE on the fucking news. For a while I've been improving my mornings by watching Alpenpanorama on 3sat, and it's always interrupted by two news segments, 7 and 3 minutes long, at 800 and 830. For the past month however it has been NOTHING but israel, gaza, palestine and netanyahu. I'm now convinced that kikestan is what would happen if you took histrionic personality disorder and applied it to an entire fucking nation of people.
 
in my car, on the way home from work, and some CUNT has uploaded a shit ton of SUNO AI dogshit to spotify and i had the misfortune of having to listen to it. I like me some suno, its fun, but don't make me listen to it under the pretense its actually any good - they didn't even write their own lyrics. I wanted to listen to some gay ass cheesy power metal, and instead I got some ai slop song about Ravens. It's genuinely pissed me off more than it should for some reason
 
It's annoying enough when a woman cries about misogyny where there is none or towards stuff so mild, no-one in their right mind would give a shit, but when it's a tranny getting outraged and think they can speak for all women? Nothing but total troon death would please me.
 
Parents who let their kids drive golf carts near busy intersections or on backroads. Some drunkards here fly on backroads. At least tell them to stay in a neighborhood
 
What's grinding me right now is how fucking hard Steam has made it to ignore shit games. I feel like half the time I can't click on the thumbnail and choose ignore - have to actually click on the game page itself. I just can't fucking look at that faggoty femboy futa roommate abortion on the front page one more time, so help me God.

What grinds me is their top seller page is the same faggot shit over and over it's more bias than the old nintendo power top 10 where for SNES it was 7 first party nintendo games, two squaresoft rpg's an donkey kong country. A top seller shouldn't count if it's a free game (counterstrike) or a shitty piece of hardware (steamdeck, not a game) or a game that's nearly a decade old with all it's DLC on sale for 2.99$.
 
Because boomer executives are utterly terrified of the hacker known as 4chins every single fucking process, website, and application has to have 3-5 levels of MFA and half the time the MFA doesn't work because it's coded by Jeets and for "security reasons" our IT team doesn't have the ability to unlock or reset it so you have to call the Jeets to reset it and sit there at they struggle to do so for some reason even though it's their own fucking software that they fucking designed.

I'm getting angry all over again just writing that.

I hear that. We have a weeklyish authentication requirement (in addition to all the other security things, which are many) that depends on using your phone to get the code. I accidentally/ coincidentally left my phone at home one of those days, so even though I was IN THE OFFICE and logged on/ in using my 50 passwords, etc., I was kicked out of the system because I did not have my (personal, BYOD, btw; not company- issued) phone to get the code. [Rhetorical question: if I swiped into the secured office, logged onto my secured system, am sitting at a company desk, and can be validated as an active employee, why tf should I need to authenticate at some random time??]

Since I was locked out of company systems, I couldn't go to the IT site to get help nor use Teams to contact them. And bc I didn't have my phone, I couldn't access the site or call that way, and I didn't have the IT phone number (which is saved on my phone). And of course we no longer have desk phones, and of course bc of return-to-office diktat, all the focus rooms and conference rooms were occupied. I had to ask a coworker to look up the phone number and finally found a conference room on a different floor to call them. Indian IT support first told me to use my phone to get the auth code. I patiently reexplained that it was at home and not with me at the office, where I am legit trying to do my job, which is why I'm calling in. He first said there was nothing he could do, and repeated that I needed to enter in the authentication code from my phone to my computer. 10 minutes later after I had laid it out 57 more times, he finally said he would send me a reset. Saar, I cannot receive that, remember, bc I'm locked out of the system and do not have my phone. 3 layers and almost an hour later, it turned out that they could do the reset on their end. Omfg.
