Also most people don't have a good understanding of what eating habits actually result in gaining weight. Trust me when I tell you some of them eat incredibly badly, two of my friends grew up in a wog household and eat fast food a minimum of twice a week, I can't imagine how bad their arteries actually must be even if their bodies don't show it, it's actually impressive how much they can eat.

MisterBibs posted:There's a gambling machine at a place I visit regularly that's Greek-themed, and the advertising/attracting image is a nearly-identical-but-different-enough-so-we-don't-get-sued version of Zeus from Age of Mythology. I should get a picture of the gambling machine version, but it's quite similar. Gambling places always have the ugliest adverts, it's amazing that they attract any business whatsoever. The adverts mascots themselves seem like they're going to mug you on entry to the building, they're way too aggressive, like on these irish themed ones the Leprechaun doesn't look happy, he looks violent, all sneering at you through a mouthful of way too realistically drawn but poorly shaded gold teeth.

Sort of related to the petty antagonism of Trump (although I have to admit, I have very little problem with it. Dude has a massive ego and yet wanted the most visible and commonly-ridiculed office in the country, I say give him what he asked for) : I hate it when people express their disdain for some famous person by mocking their name. It's not clever, it's not original, it just sounds like a loving third grader going "Hurr hurr, Kim Kartrashian/M Night Shamalamadingdong/Lady GAG-a!!" Politics too, with Obummer/Moochelle/Drumpf etc. But it's more annoying with celebrities, because it's like the speaker desperately wants you to know they're ~so different and cool~ for not liking popular culture/the president, while expressing it in the most childish way possible. At least, that's what I imagine.

GOTTA STAY FAI posted:Ugh, this is such a classic "I have no idea what I'm loving talking about" tactic. I asked one genius to provide cites for his claim that Madonna was telling people to "burn down the White House". He told me to turn on the TV and then claimed I was a hermit who got my news solely from Buzzfeed because I didn't get my news from Fox News or CNN. This guy is also an Alex Jones follower and a Sandy Hook denier. Oh, and he reminds me of another peeve: that drat laughing-so-hard-it's-crying emoji that people use to death. Enough. RenegadeStyle1 posted:Sorry I guess I'm a robot because I don't think saying someone has small hands is the height of comedy. It's not the joke exactly, it's how he responds to it that people find funny. If, long ago, someone had mentioned he had small hands and he hadn't responded it wouldn't have snowballed. It would have died back in the 1980s. But he had to respond and obsess over it for thirty years now.

Henchman of Santa posted:Small hands is fine. "Drumpf" annoys me far more than it will ever annoy him. I agree with that. From what I've read and seen photos of, there are headstones from the family village in Germany where they're from that say "Trump", so I'm not sure who was Drumpf originally. I know it's from the John Oliver segment but I thought they were called Drumpf over in Germany. Maybe some Trump's were and others weren't? I think the one that came from Germany and started the hotels and brothels for the Alaska Gold Rush came here as Trump and not Drumpf but I could be wrong.

Magic Hate Ball posted:People are incredibly lovely to fat people on the whole. Only online. In general, I find that people treat people with respect when they can look them in the eye. I worked with a guy that went about 450lbs but could handle his weight. No one ever snickered behind his back and he was a great asset. I did however work with another guy who's weight was about the same and he could *not* handle his weight. We didn't snicker, we were only concerned that he couldn't walk 100 feet without taking a break.

Touchscreens. Mostly when trying to push on "play next episode" on the netflix app on my kindle fire and I slightly miss and it thinks I was trying to make it go away, and it won't come back so I am forced to sit through the minute and a half of credits. The buttons are just too sensitive and it sometimes makes me long for the days of when things had actual buttons.

Bonus is how button layout may change drastically as an app loads data, so you can hit an entirely different button than the one you're aiming for. I constantly share weird things to people instead of uploading them to my drive due to this.

This has to do with parking lots. People who hold up traffic to wait for someone to leave their parking space. To the point where they are three or four cars behind them. Just parking somewhere else, you're holding everyone up!

People who wait for something (a person, a pickup, whatever) in a parking lot, without actually parking in a space. This lady outside my work was sitting talking on the phone at the exit of the parking lot yesterday, and I always see people stopped blocking a space or two while they wait. Just loving park in a spot!

Just loving park in a spot! People do this all the time at my apartment complex! What's worse is they'll do it in the narrow area between the parking sections, which is barely wide enough for two cars as is, so now good luck if you need to squeeze by or if two idiots decide to block it both ways (which happens way more frequently than it should) and everyone is just poo poo out of luck! And then there's the idiots with the moving trucks, but I digress.

Calling him Drumpf to make fun of him bothers me because the punchline is pretty much "foreign names sound dumb  ", which is just kinda awful. Make fun of him for any of his nearly infinite actual failings, don't take pot shots at his ancestors for anglicizing their last name specifically so people wouldn't give them grief when they moved to america

bean_shadow posted:The background to this is Trump tweeted to Jon Stewart to embrace his real name. Yeah but it kept being driven into the ground long after he showed little (if any?) reaction to it. Like with everything John Oliver does, he starts out with a humorous story/idea and blows it way out of proportion and then runs it into the ground. Anyway re: drunk chat about serious topics, I've learned to avoid it because usually in my experience the person is much less drunk than you are and will remember every embarrassing thing you say and won't let you forget it after everyone sobers up.

My aunt was born in new orleans and at least once a week shares her results of whatever "if you're really from new orleans you'll get a 100% on this!" quiz is going around. I tried taking a couple and go figure, I got a 100% as did every single other person in the comments. Then today my dad fell for one of those posts where it's a blurry picture of a sexy lady and it tells you to "like" the post, comment CLEAR and then share with what happened. He did all 3 things and shared it and said "nothing". Why do people even do the last step after they realized it was just like-bait?
