This is a hate space 😤
Software that switched from: Yes/No
to: Yes/Ask Me Later.I got angry just reading this!
I’d imagine some random cashier at a Walmart 2 years from now asking “Do you want your reciept?” and the options are “Yes / Maybe Later”
Uninstall + search for foss alternative
every chance I get
Mine is drivers who act like there aren’t other people on the road. IE turning into your lane doing greatly reduced speed right in front of you, Doing well below speed limits in faster lanes and refusing to get over, etc.
my city is kind of known for bad drivers. 7 times out of 10 when you’re joining the highway, the idiot in front of you is not accelerating and you have to join the 100km/h road doing 50. almost died today because of one of these idiots, they didn’t look and there was someone coming from behind and we all had to slam the brakes. oh and it’s snowy and icy here, and today it rained.
are you me?
Do you want to leave a review?
Yes / maybe later
Yes. 1 star!
To this I sternly reply:
Ask me later!
I hate that people dont just hit “fuck it” and go full French revolution on billionaires when they see them.
Tbh, I don’t think I have ever seen one in-person
Surely someone has a list?
What are you doing when you see a billionaire?
I’ve never seen one in person, so probably walk by cluelessly.
No clue, I live in BFE … so have never knowingly met one.
The French revolution was against the Aristocracy, not the Bourgeoisie. The masses know their king and lords but which Capitalist do they know besides Bill Gates and Elon Musk?
This is the issue.
About 2000 people need to be “arrested” and the 1% is gone.
If you do so without changing the law, don’t you think the 1% will have the revolutionaries arrested first?
“Arrested” … See the “quotes”.
The revolutionaries can also be “arrested”.
A country that regularly does regime changes will not be surprised by a revolution. I think there needs to be political change if the power structure should change. The interesting thing is that poor people in America probably still use more resources than the global average. Are people willing to support a change to own less?
theil and co. all have public addresses, screaming into the void is alot less work than tracking em down though
Capitalism
Ads. I am so fucking sick of ads. I have ad blockers on many things and my next network project will be adding a pihole to my network for network ad block. Sick of it.
My husband has set up a pihole and it’s the best ever. It used to run off an actual raspberry pi but now we have a home server and he got it set up on there. Literally yesterday he also added Tailscale to our computers and phones and it seriously rocks my socks. I don’t even exactly know what it does but suddenly I’m not getting any ads while at my in-laws house on their WiFi so, score! I am not tech savvy enough to know about these things, much less set them up myself, but I am super thankful that my husband aggressively hates ads and I get to benefit from his crusade against them.
Tailscale is a virtual private network (VPN). It connects everything together that is connected to it as though they are all in the same place. You might be physically at your in-laws house but your device is communicating with a private network over your in-laws’ network.
Whoa, that’s insane. I didn’t think VPNs worked like that.
Large corporate offices often run VPNs in a similar way, anyone with a work-from-home laptop or phone generally has to log into a VPN to get internet/network access.
I have an executive function disorder, ads literally prey on my disability even as society laughs at the idea of attention being something other than a product of pure limitless willpower.
It’s getting crazy. Or I’m just becoming more aware of them.
Normal is crazy, so it could be either. My shock when 🏴☠️ I realized that TV show episodes (not streaming) are generally 22 minutes for a half-hour slot - almost a third of TV is ads.
You sound like me haha. Is there a good Lemmy site to replace r/AdBlock? We need to get like minded people together to form an underground resistance against the ads.
I also wish more specialized communities existed. The trouble is, I lack the willpower to moderate them and the discipline to find things to post regularly to get them going. :/
The fact that horrible fascist and billionaire ghouls living in their 90s+ while people that did nothing heinous or actual good in the world are dying of cancer, heart attacks, aneurysms etc.
It’s not fucking fair and and Billy Joel was right when he said only the good die young
Makes we believe that there isn’t any omnipotent being out there or perhaps this universe is the bad place
parents who don’t parent
stayed in a hotel recently during a hockey tournament. kids were banging on doors and intentionally hitting the same door more than once. they knocked paint off the interior of my door frame doing this, because they hit it extra hard due to the do not disturb sign.
I took a walk after a while and noticed that this behaviour was clearly visible from the lobby where the parents were hanging out, you could hear the banging sounds echoing through the stairwell fifteen feet away.
I was very close to losing my shit on them, but I didn’t want it to be worse the next day
I hate when an app tells me to take a picture of my driver’s license
should be illegal tbh
I hate that most people’s ideas of success is to earn lots of money and buy expensive things, rather than help the community.
i mean, have you tried either?
helping your community is a task of endless need and criticism that opens you up to personal liability and attack. like i have been verbally assaulted and threatened by people for helping my community. i’ve never encounter that at my place of employment.
earning lots of money and buying shit is way more fun and easy. when i stay at a hotel the hotel staff don’t threaten to beat the shit out of me.
i have been verbally assaulted and threatened by people for helping my community
I am curious now, tell us the story
What!?
i have been verbally assaulted and threatened by people for helping my community
Yup, that’s real. I was once berated for offering free HIV testing at a Pride event. I guess the guy took it as a personal affront because he likely was HIV positive and thought what we were doing was ridiculous. But he did take the opportunity to try to make me look and feel bad in front of other people by mocking me and being absolutely rude. Like, you could’ve just said no. You don’t need to insult an underage kid to feel good about yourself.

Daylight Saving time, Donald Trump & his supporters, the US healthcare “system”, mosquitos, Christmas music, babies on airplanes, hangnails, bigotry and intolerance of other people’s cultures, and the Dutch.
Dutch?
Austin powers reference: “there’s only two things i hate in this world”
Particular ones. Like Dick Schoof.
Christmas music
There are a couple of songs I like, but honestly a lot of it is junk, which wouldn’t be too bad if they hadn’t already been playing in stalls for half a month.
The Grinch wears a top hat.
True. “Carol of the Bells” goes hard. It sounds like you’re being chased down a dark alley by a serial killer.
Gambling loops put into most mobile games, especially when targeting children.
Any kind of gambling, any kind of magic thinking
I hate my fucking shithead neighbors who want to make everything tino a problem. Last night their kids were playing with our gate door so I went down and locked it without saying a word. Well, the little shit fucks came back and started slamming against it and yelling obscenities. Their parents nowhere to be found. They just let their cum goblins run around amock without teaching them any sort of decency or manners. I’m almost ready to throw a few of them into my cauldron and make some kid stew. 😤
I hate how a lot of men make the rest of us look bad. Can we just chill out for a bit? Like, can guys stop beating on their wives, molesting children, raping, and murdering? Please? Idk what to do besides just be chill myself and try to encourage others to be the same. Let’s just read some books with some piano in the background.
It’s an absolute shit show.
Women have it bad. Honestly I don’t know how how you all have the patience to try to figure out which guy isn’t a psycho.
As a cis het man, I know that alone is enough to make some women say “pass”.
I feel like if men learned more about consent and empathy and stopped listening to assholes like Andrew Tate or Joe Rogan, we’d be in a much better state.
Had my first creep encounter at night outside after transitioning. Nooot fun lol
No patience, just sheer terror.
It’s mainly a white man and Indian man (aka pick mes) thing, but black men and Latino men are catching up.
people who blame you for the actions of others are idiots and dicks.
stop feeling guilty by association, have some pride in yourself.
I don’t feel guilty by association, and I am proud of how much I’ve grown and accomplished this far, I’m happy with myself - still hate those guys making the rest of us look bad though, and deservedly so.
People succumbing to all those biases do suck, but also I think collectively it sucks when there are people out there padding those stats and feeding into those biases further.
I don’t look bad because they do those things. I am not them. What a bizarre proposition.
Do you not know how stereotypes work?
Men = bad?
So I guess that’s a no
Allow me to explain this to you since you seem to be a bit slow.
Thinking all men are bad is an example of a very common stereotype.
YA DON’T SAY

Maybe you thought you were conveying more information than you were, but the comment I replied to literally just says “men=bad?”
How the fuck am I even supposed to interpret that as a reply to what I said?
Maybe take a look at the discussion before getting so angry and hostile. Your reply is a nonsense sentence fragment the ends in a question mark. Not exactly sure what you were trying to say.
nah bro, you don’t understand. you and anyone penis having adjacent are personally liable for the actions of every man…
or so feminist theory says.
weird though that when a woman rapes a kid, or beats someone, or murders someone… not all women are responsible for her actions… she’s just some lone psycho…
The number of men that do those things compared to the number of women doing those same things aren’t in the same ballpark.

It really isn’t, that’s a whole other subject entirely filled with its separate issues i.e. oppression keeping black people impoverished, more wrongful arrests made on black people, etc.
It’s ironic that you’re getting angry about a comment where I’m asking men to chill out. Chill, go read a book with some piano in the background.
If you want to have meaningful discussion about the stats and how men are misrepresented by them, by all means present your case respectfully and we can discuss it further.

Same, I’m also a man and I haven’t done any of those things either. I never said that all men are bad - I’m saying there are too many out there making the rest of us look bad, and I hate that. Chill.
I’m OK with hearing black people commit more low level crimes than white people.
I’ll take that over 7 out of 10 white men either fuck children or want to fuck children and 7 out of 10 white women are more likely to lie and make false allegations to avoid accountability for anything.

Rush hour public transit users unaware that the population of the planet is >1. Take your back pack off, move to the back of the bus, prepare to get off at least one stop ahead, move out of the way of opening doors to let people out, don’t stand in the bus’s exit zone (makes the doors open automatically at every stop), stop taking pictures inside stations (or at least wait for no people, I lose sleep if I think there’s a picture of my bloated middle-aged corpse-like body and face out there), blocking the left lane on escalators, just stopping dead in your tracks at the end of an escalator, blaring your music/calls for everyone to enjoy.
My aging fat body.
The 21st century so far.
The overwhelming endless complexity of modern computing.
E-bikes on the sidewalk.
Noisy exhausts.
Expensive shipping on eBay. Can’t e-hoard anymore. The crazy fees for selling.
Those goddamn backup sirens. What the fuck is the purpose in a city? If you saw the truck moving forwards, you’ll see it moving backwards, it doesn’t become invisible. It’s already festooned in lights. Why does anyone five blocks away need to hear your siren? At least the white noise ones aren’t as piercingly loud. Yet the other day there was a truck that helpfully had BOTH types.
The laughable quality of clothes these days. I have to hit up thrift stores where there’s little clothes in my size range (extra fat ass).
The shrinkflation. I know there used to be 6 bars in a box, not 5, don’t bullshit me. I know the wheat crackers used to be bigger. etc
People who leave their collection bins on the sidewalk on the wrong day, or all week.
People who park in the clearly marked bus stop area. The bus will honk every time. Where’s the traffic ticket agent? If you live here and overstay your legal parking spot by an attosecond, blam, ticket. Park in a bus stop: free parking?
Low quality sausages, especially anything from supermarkets. For quality gotta track down those Eastern European shops that smell like garlic and have a surly old man that only speaks Hungarian at the cash. Tasty! (The sausage, not the man)
Enormously bright LED lights on EVERYTHING.
Looking at beautiful young women knowing I’ll never have a chance again, my dating pool is the secretary from Monsters Inc.
That the species is heading towards 10 billion by 2050.
Mini USB connectors.
Needless standards duplication or overlap.
That new constructions aren’t wired up for Ethernet, coax, Fiber and “generic 10 conductor cable for purposes” between rooms and floors by default.
Front load washing machines that smell like someone took a shit in it despite the fact that I followed every recommendation and cleaning cycle, and I even cleaned the boot and hoses.
The sadness of people sleeping in fields in winter.
Recycling bags that rip or straps that break.
Nasty cheap imitation chocolate in supermarket cookies labelled “chocolatey”, etc. I like trying stuff from the “ethnic” aisle at the grocery store, I’ll check the ingredients next time. Nasty stuff. There used to be carob bean for substituting chocolate, that at least tasted natural, I guess now even that is too much.
Microwave popcorn that leaves dry husks at the back of my throat.
That hard drive with my best porn on it stopped working.
Brother printer interfaces, and for that matter, their P-Touch machines. I feel like Brother has released about 65 million models of P-Touch, none of which have the same layout, menus, functionality, or capabilities, and each one comes from the factory set up to use 6 inches of blank ribbon on each side of your 6 letter label.
Thrift stores that commonly overcharge now. I mean really, it takes me 5 seconds to look up the price, why do you bother? Like those Amazon places, I mean, Amazon itself lists that little LED projector for less than 80$, why did you put a 100$ sticker on it?
Goretex. It’s an over-rated material from the '70s that’s only used because you have to put the Goretex label for the perceived quality on clothes but it’s a shitty material compared to newer stuff that’s cheaper and better.
Cheap electronics allows extremely loud car stereos, and has also killed the home hi-fi setup, everything is a plastic mono Bluetooth speaker so… you can stream twice compressed audio into a two inch speaker in a plastic tube?
Low effort AI slop all over the place. No, a cougar with its injured cub didn’t follow you home from the forest so you could heal its cub.
There used to be 12 hotdogs in a pack and only 8 buns in a bag. They fixed that now, but now there’s spaghetti sauce with too much for three servings but not enough for four in a jar.
Homie pulling out the manifesto
Bro is slightly ticked off I think
you forgot “people not wearing headphones when watching/listening to X media on mobile device in public”
I used to live up the hill from a recycling plant. Forklift trucks beep beep beeping while driving backwards from 6am to 8pm. Couldn’t sit outside when the weather was nice, couldn’t sleep with the window open.
Subscriptions
I hate when people are needlessly negative.
Hey, fuck you.
This drives me up the wall here on Lemmy and it manifests itself in so many ways. People just being outright shitty and calling each other names over a difference in opinion like “shitlib” rather than listening to what they’re saying.
Or even those who misinterpret why they’re being downvoted and start spitballing while using that as an opportunity to grind their axe. “Oh, poor me is being downvoted for having these perfect ideals, it’s the grander community who hates me, wah!” No, you’re just being hardheaded and causing your own problems, why are you blaming everyone else?
Gah! 🙄
