how many gaming communities that i engage with that absolutely refuse to apply even basic rules/moderation regarding nazis/alt-right/etc. like holy poo poo, in a private loving discord server for valve games people should not be calling me a kike human being having such a passive attitude about toxicity is the reason gaming spaces are so loving hostile to anyone who isnt a straight white cis dude

Whenever a (non sci-fi/fantasy) TV show has an episode with a psychic they've always got to hedge their bets by leaving some ambiguity about whether they're a fraud or not. The protagonist can spend the whole episode saying "psychics are con artists who prey on the emotionally vulnerable" but then in the last two minutes there'll be some "but how could she have known that? Maybe psychics are real" bullshit.

My third grade teacher gave me an F on a writing assignment for referring to my grandfather's dog as "he" instead of "it". A few years later she got killed by a horse. Don't let this happen to you.

On a similar note, whenever a show has a will they wont they couple that finally gets together, inevitably they have a "my partner is soooooo predictable maybe I should torch my loving marriage because of it" episode, sometimes multiple, and it's always the most exhausting poo poo.

cis people get pissy when you misgender their pets but then refuse to use your pronouns even though you're a human being, not an animal that has no concept of gender

That's all true perhaps but nevertheless: don't misgender my pets god drat it. Being beep boopy about animals is a really unattractive character trait. The world is a giant human rear end but at least it has dogs and cats and parrots and poo poo so if you can't even manage to love animals what kind of person are you?? Also: liking one animal but not another based on some stupid identity you've crafted for yourself. You don't get to be a "cat person", they are all God's creatures motherfucker you don't get to pick and choose. Yes tarantulas too. Shibawanko has a new favorite as of 18:22 on Sep 23, 2019 |

It's stupid as hell and nobody actually talks like that, but in school I was taught that it was grammatically wrong to call an animal something other than it. Everyone knew it made no sense, but that was what was in the book so that was what we had to do. The ESL books probably resulted from them consulting English teachers instead of English speakers.

Yeah I'm pretty sure they tried to teach it to me like that too. I think it's probably a holdover from old times when "animal" generally meant something like "livestock" or "farm cat" or something like that rather than pet, and it was an easy rule to teach so it stuck.

i don't like it when people misgender me (this happens a lot because, get this: i'm not cis, can you believe it) and i would be annoyed as poo poo if somebody kept misgendering my pet after i corrected them, too, because, like, if i tell you to use a loving pronoun, use the loving pronoun, rear end in a top hat

I'm still not 100% on whether we're complaining about pets being misgendered or calling pets "it" cuz the second makes you literally sounds like a crazy person, especially if the owner is like "no he's a he" and that's what every owner does. no one is going to go ~sjw~ on your rear end if you default all dogs to one gender until told otherwise but defaulting to calling them "it" makes you sound like a literal murderer, especially in a world where english almost always calls pet animals they, he, or she, and where literal actual people are still called "it" to dehumanize them. no one cares if you mistake what gender a dog is.

i get no-poo poo triggered over using "it" like in general even when I know better and that it is a stupid thing ot be bothered by at all, because it just. loving. "no you don't meet my standards for counting as worthy of respect as a living being, gently caress off, you Object" and yes, i have mental health problems and that's why my brain draws connections between doing it to an animal and doing it to me personally but i just can't loving stand it v(._.)v

I hate how often I end up going along with what other people want just because I'm not as emotionally invested in my preferences as the people around me. I get along really well with my partner, but every time we move it's "Hey, Riatsala, where should we store the tupperware?" "I was thinking the cabinet by the fridge" "Well, I think that this cabinet by the sink would be better because its lower and deeper so you can store a lot of tupperware there if we get more and also it saves the cabinets that are closer to arm height for heavier dishware like glass baking pans and also in my household where I was the only child and did everything right by default *we* always kept the tupperware by the sink and really if you think about it-" and by this point I'm ready to blow my loving brains out and I concede the point because I want the conversation to end 1000x more than I want the tupperware to be by the loving fridge Every moving day is just this debate dozens of times over paired with the dread-inducing realization that I just signed another lease with this woman (whom I love, mind you)

What's the peeve? Not getting upset over being overruled on trivialities isn't a negative thing. If it were me my peeve would be even being asked if they already had a super strong opinion on how they wanted it. Just do it and tell me where it is. As long as I know where it is it doesn't really matter. In summary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vvWlZUYVOM I can appreciate wanting to come to an agreement, but if it's something I care nothing about, my reaction is always going to be Jerry's at 0:37. Just do it.

My pet peeve is when you go to the internet for advice on how to do something, instead of helping you do that thing, you get people telling you its a bad idea in the first place or to do it in a completely different way, you don't want to even do X, etc. gently caress you, help me on how to do the thing I want or STFU. Even if its something most fail at like getting abs in 6 months. I want people to tell me how that is done, not every reason in existence to not go for it.

i know a guy who i went to college who barely interacted with me, but now he's suddenly interested in being my friend and its very transparent that hes doing it because he sees me as a career stepping stone and doesnt actually want to be my friend. like id be totally fine if he was like "i see things are going well for you, is it cool if we stay in touch regarding career topics since you seem like someone who could be good to work/share notes with?" he doesnt need to ingratiate himself with me

Steam seems to have just updated its "library" page by removing the other two view options (large text, and icons only). Now everyone is forced to use the one where your games list is crammed into one edge of the screen and the main thing you see is a bunch of useless garbage I don't give a poo poo about - the only option I never used and have always hated. Also, all my games have been removed from the categories they were in and dumped into a single "uncategorised" list. I'm assuming that part was unintentional but who could possibly say. Edit: Also, my list is now full of dedicated servers for games I don't even have.
