I hate smug Linux users. Actually, I hate the attitude of smugness out of anyone. But, I pick Linux users because they radiate it the most.

Back in the early to mid-90s I was a Macintosh guy and the thing I hated most about the platform wasn't the operating system and computer...it was my fellow Apple users.

Today, I'm almost exclusively a Linux guy and the thing I hate most about the platform isn't the operating system and computer...it is my fellow Linux users.

The common denominator of these two groups divided by decades? They defined themselves contra Microsoft. Look, I get it. I hate Microsoft. My dislike of that they've done in computing goes back to the mid-1980s. But to make your personality hating something so much that you uncritically ball wash an alternative option is to be no better than what you hate.

Linux users need to calm the fuck down.

Ironic admission: written on my Surface Book 2 running Windows 10.
 
This is somewhat related to a previous post about taking time off work and people automatically assume you're going on holiday just because it's what they would do.

Two years ago I went on holiday and when I was telling our regular customers at work that I was going away they straight away said: ''Ooo be nice to get away from here and get some heat''. No mate, I'm actually going to Iceland so it's actually colder.

These are the people that just assume holiday means sitting in the sun and doing nothing else. Those types of holidays to me are boring just sitting by the pool or beach drinking.

Might just be me, but I find going to the beach and all that shit just overrated. If I didn't give a fuck about my job and stability, I'd tell that customer and the customers I deal with that "no, actually, I'm doing it largely in part to get the fuck away from you because you're the bane of my existence, asshole!"
 
I'm tired of hearing those hypotheticals where it's like, "you have to pick a random word and you earn $2,300 a day until someone can guess it," or "You get $500 every day but you have to pass out for 4 solid seconds every hour," or the really stupidly easy ones like "You get to live here in this gorgeous cabin mansion in the woods B-B-BUT NO SOCIAL MEDIA OR TV!!"
Like goddamn it I want an actual offer at this point. Put up or shut up! If you don't actually have a million dollars waiting for me if I manage to stay in solitary confinement for a year, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT.

Retards who share soyboy tiktoks about geopolitics in a professional chatgroup. Thank you for sharing that tiktok with a faggot explaining that a video of 60 people protesting against Trump proves that Maduro is actually loved by all Venezuelans and not a guy who kills children. I thought I was getting a work related message and not your communist tiktok feed. Like nigger, I also don't post TND edits in the group, so why are you sharing that shit.
 
People who don't put enough litter in their cat boxes. I go into 5-6 peoples houses a day for work, and I would say 90% of the cat owners have a small layer of litter, like a quarter inch, full of turds. I dump the whole fucking bucket into the litter box, the little nigga wants to bury his turds, you don't want them to stink, so give them 3 inches of litter at least. Drives me up a fucking wall holding my tongue.

Most people shouldn't own a fucking pet. Dog owners have these giant ass dogs they don't walk and they lock them in a cage all day when they're gone. Its all animal abuse.

You know the one thing I'm not seeing at these pro-Maduro protests?

If you guessed Venezuelans you'd be right.
 
And where you would always hear the Vince Guaraldi Trio songs from the Charlie Brown Christmas at least once instead of all this bullshit they play now.

I didn't even hear the Bowie/Crosby Little Drummer Boy.
Might be a bit late since the traditional Christmas season runs from December 25 to January 6, but Soma.FM's Department Store Christmas channel has played Vince Guaraldi's "O Christmas Tree" from Charlie Brown Christmas as part of its rotation. I actually found it relaxing to listen to as I did stuff the other night.

I haven't heard Bowie/Crosby's version of Little Drummer Boy this year, either. This is why I started bookmarking various Christmas songs and albums from YouTube so I can listen to what Christmas music I want when I want to hear it.

Thread tax: People asking the same question they asked a moment earlier because they have attention spans shorter than the life span of a Fish Fly thanks to Tik Tok and other short mindless distractions that aren't good for one's memory.
 
I've started encountering people who use "but" instead of "and". Example from the comments of a clip I just watched on youtube: "She is one of the best actresses in GB, but she is acting the dialogue written by one of the best writers. Great combination"

The but implies some sort of contradiction between those two statements when none exists. Why are people this retarded?

People who misspell AI as "IA". It's two fucking letters, nigger. How are you not noticing the problem?
They might be French. The frogs love spelling initialisms backwards.
 
1] Idiot teens hanging out in front of 7'11s, KFC, McDonalds, Jack In The Box
etc... Your life REALLY SUCKS if that's the high point of your day...

5] People with personalized licence plates.
6] BMX bikes.
7] People panhandling me. Get a job losers! McDonalds is always hiring!
8] Bums with dogs. I'm sure the dog loves eating cheese from old pizza boxes.
9] The cheeseheads from asia who take a Honda Civic, slap some stickers on it,
put a muffler on it that makes it sound like a riding lawnmower, a ridiculous
sized fin on the back and think they have a formula 1 racer. 'Devastating
Power!' my a$$!
10] The same idiots who then drive their 'hot' civic like they are in the Indy
500 through busy traffic.
11] The huge complex hairdos on african american women, 5 layers, 6000 curls, 4
sprouting areas, 200 dangling bits, 6000 beads, air conditioning and enough
hairspray in it that it wouldn't move if Hurricane George hit it.
12] People with Kleenex, plants, knitted blankets, stuffed animals, or lacey
things in their cars rear window. I should be allowed to pull over and shoot
them.
13] People on the bus who talk so loud your forced to hear about their pointless
lives.
14] Crappy parkers who park their car REALLY close to the painted line so that
you have half a foot to get out.
15] Those old cars (ie, Cadillacs, Lincoln Town Cars, etc...)usually white for
some strange reason... with the acient driver who always drives WAY under the
speed limit.
16] People who write a cheque for a $2 bag of nachos at Safeway.
17] Corvettes, Comaros and Firebirds. Come on, the 80s are OVER!
18] A$$hole tailgaters.
19] Idiots who think they can pedal a bike as fast as a car, so they ride in the
middle of a traffic lane. You should be allowed to run them over, it looks like
natural selection to me.
20] Teenagers on television news reports expressing their opinions on something.
If your under 18 I don't give a sh1t about what you have to say...
21] The singer Brandy, Celine Dion, all the divas....
22] Twits who wear a huge parka outside when its sunny and a mild 5-10 C. The
same thing goes with the whole scarf thing.
23] Muni busses that smell like urine. Which is most of them.
24] Corporate Broadcasting logos in the corner of the channel your watching.
25] Web pages that pop open other pages and windows and then disable your 'back'
button.
26] People who walk around with a huge 'portable' stereos blaring, sharing their
music with everyone around them. Usually crap rap.
27] Junk mail.
28] Peice of sh1t cars that spew out huge noxious clouds behind them.
29] People that throw out huge items on the curb expecting the garbage people to
remove it. Like old dirty matresses. They don't of course, and it sits on the
curb for weeks.
30] Budweiser beer and the people who drink it. I'd rather suck the piss out of
a pig... Its time to poison the bud.
31] Drivers who turn onto the road RIGHT in front of you causing you to slam on
the brakes, even though there is no one for hundereds of feet behind you.
32] People who drive 3/4 in one lane and 1/4 in another... what the hell is

someones home page going through them...
37] All country music.
38] Minivans.
39] People who spray paint their names on rocks, signs, trees etc, in national
parks. Like I care that Bill graduated in 86.
40] Small yappy 'feeder' dogs. Like little Yorkies, poodles, etc...
41] People in the fast lane who drive just 2 km/hr faster than the guy in the
'slow' lane, dawdling along.
42] Film crews making bad movies most people doent want to see blocking the
streets and being annoying.
43] Big fat bugs that splat on my windshield.
44] Those really tight spandex cycling pants on men, they are usually sooooo
tight, you can tell if they are cirumcised.
45] Those really tight spandex cycling pants on 90% of the women. Big fat a$$es
and *wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide* camel toes.
46] Those really annoying commericals from Rogers Cable that tell you all about
the 'evils' of satalite tv and how lucky you are to be getting cable for a mere
$65 a month.
47] Commercials that are SO bad on tv, you have to wonder about the sh1t for
brains who thought them up. Like the Old Navy commericals, or the old as hell
commercial for Sarah Lee, that is STILL ON THE AIR, 'let them eat cake' and 'But
Patrick, I'm to old for life insurance.' Shoot them ALL!
48] Losers that listen to totally cheezy radio stations and then slap dozens of
their stupid stickers all over thier car.
49] Lilith Fair. I say when they are all hugging, listening to the music,
sharing tampons, and bitching about how evil men are, toss in a few hundered
grenades while recording it on camera. Sell the video as a 'To Hot for TV' tape
late at night.
50] Cheap a$$ manufacturers of DVDs who list as 'features' chapters, interactive
menues, and the time. These arent features. Thats like calling your computers
keyboard a 'feature'. Lame a$$ marketing people.
51] DVD manufactureres that sell their DVDs for $40 and up, just because they
know people will pay for it. DVDs have actually become MORE expensive than when
they first came out.
52] Nintendo and everything about them.
53] Old people who clog up the sidewalk walking super slow when you want to get
somewhere.
54] Looking at demo-reels at work that are so incredibly bad, that I just want
to call them up and tell them to go f*ck their demo reel and to never EVER send
another one out to anybody. EVER.
55] Spiders. All spiders. Everyone of them.
56] How on the Nintendo 64 game machine, half the damn titles for it are called
'miscvidgame 64'. Why not come up with a real name? Why is everyone just
slapping a 64 on all the games?

Sorry, I have to decrease your rant points by 8 for not making this number 64.
