I download ebooks that I already own the physical copy of. I pay for 4 (yes 4) streaming services. if a movie i want isnt on any of them, high seas. a few years ago things were better and i almost never had that situation come up, now it seems its every other movie either isnt on anything or on some niche service
“ahhhhhh splat” is the current warcry of the woefully unprepared orcs getting slaughtered in a war that could end today. maybe you guys could at least come up with something original before winding up as compost?
as expected tankies and brain-dead conservatives take issue with the fact I’m mocking the vatniks out there being converted into soil. guess what? I give as much a shit about you guys as the decomposing corpses of the mobiks, and find your opinions on the topic to be as usual, laughably silly and predictable. no, I’m not gonna have any need to humanise a bunch of trash that are invading another country. do I feel genuine sympathy for the conscripts who have no choice and no possibility to surrender? sure. that’s their lot unfortunatly, but you won’t find me crying over dead Russians in Ukraine
I’ll cop some shit for this one, but coffee baristas.
you put some grounds in a machine, twiddle some nobs and pour milk in a wave pattern
edit: judging by the amount of downvotes ive either pissed off all the Bachelor of Arts grads working as baristas or all the coffee snobs who still think making coffee is some sort of art that can only be done by the most highly trained baristas. Yes, I also love coffee. No, making it is not some sort of complicated thing which is the point of this post (and topic of this thread), and no, I am not disparaging anyone working as a barista (unless they are an Arts grad, sorry) because a job is a job and all jobs deserve respect
I like to lead such people on in bad faith. watching them go from thinking they are the ones in control of the conversation to realising they are being played is actually quite fun. Bonus points for the rabid PMs they might start sending towards the end. Just knowing you can rile someone up so much when they expected to control the narrative is great
small channels especially for niche stuff you have people who actively sought out the material and are happy to offer thanks or constructive comments. large “mainstream” channels comment sections are a mixed bag of rants, irrelevant nonsense, sometimes a comment on the subject matter, abusing other commenters and people who can’t help wedge their politics and toxicity into any bloody conversation
airbnb, Chinese stuff as much as possible, newscorp, fairfax, a specific car mechanic who I caught out in an attempted repair extortion over 12 years ago now and I still badmouth them whenever the general topic arises
oh and one of my wife’s acquaintances (fortunately less so these days) who is a self centred idiot, literally publicly cucked her husband and doesn’t feel bad about it, just parks in the common driveway (literally the way in and out for the units behind ours) and makes excuses for her klepto kids all the time. by boycott I mean I refuse to acknowledge her presence if she’s around unless it’s to tell her to move her fucking car. again.
thry seem really into the bans recently. the shit I’ve had said to me over the years, the abused ‘self harm’ button that no action was ever taken on, but say “fuck off cooker” to some idiot rambling about Pfizer “doomers need their latest booster” and that lands a permanent ban.
not that I give a shit and it couldn’t have happened at a better time really, but yeah, noticed quite a few people on bans or suspensions for really mild stuff lately
I used to be a pretty devout catholic but went through the whole crisis of faith. So these days, no.
I still wonder a lot about before the big bang, or wherever the actual “start” of everything was and what sparked it or made the energy exist in the first place, but I don’t want to just hand wave it and say God because we don’t have an explanation. But its definitly something I ponder
the brigading has been very obvious since the start of the attacks. people outright saying its good civilians are being killed. disgusting. they think I care they downvote? lol. nothing gets me off more than making them enraged enough to engage
