Uber eats is the worst food delivery platform that has even existed. I have NEVER gotten an order from them that didn't take at least 30-45 minutes longer than their baseless estimates. And they expect me to tip for the cold burger you took an hour and 15 minutes to deliver from 3 miles away? They suck as taxis, they suck as food deliverers, how does this company still exist?

I prefer cab drivers to Uber drivers because I don't have to argue with them about getting on the loving expressway to take me six blocks and they drive like I need to be somewhere. As soon as a taxi service develops an app for me to hail one I'll use it exclusively. Especially now that the ride sharing apps cost as much as a cab anyways.

Counterpoint: Yikes is an inoffensive mainstay of American English speech. Likewise criminey, even if I have no loving idea how it's supposed to be spelled.

"Kek" is 4chan or WoW? I always thought "bur" was "lol" in WoW.

For me, personally, I hate the people that I've seen post dumb poo poo like "yikes" or "kek" because they say it about anything and the only thing they post is the single word itself as if the response means anything. I mean, yes, the words yikes and kek aren't offensive by themselves, but it's incredibly loving annoying when you see a wave of yikes in any discussion or thread. it's pointless clutter and a desperate "PLEASE LOOK AT ME" response.

I think the origin of kek was a WoW thing, but its one of those things where people from a site start using it and suddenly, because of the kinds of people who use those sites, the word is now cursed and everyone will accuse you of being the kind of person they associate with "people who say the word". Same reasoning applies to that cartoon frog everyone loved to post before a presidential candidate's campaign page listed it as a symbol of hate. Poor Matt Furie, he just wanted to draw weird animal guys taking gigantic shits. don't we all just want to take gigantic shits? i think we should campaign for our right to take gigantic, monster sized shits.

I think it might be like the pizza delivery service where they have a lot of orders to be driven out, except they have to dart from restaurant to restaurant. Not a good way of doing it. At least using grubhub it gets here relatively quick, although they usually don't get my taco bell orders right.

That was kekekekekekekeke and was associated with zerg rushes. I think kek came from WoW as it assumed that the horde and the alliance spoke different languages. I never actually played but it was apparently set up so that one side couldn't read the other side's text as it got turned into gibberish. It apparently said kek a lot and people figured out that that was probably what the thing turned lol into so people just started actually saying kek.

Fortnite would be the best game ever if they made the following changes

- get rid of the storm, the whole map is always available until the end
- instead of 100 players, it's only 2 players
- somehow make it so people have to keep playing until the match is over.

call of duty is already the best game ever and I am offended they are pandering to the fortnight people with their blackout mode. How in the hell do people enjoy a FPS game if there is like a 2 minute respawn timer? I can't play a FPS if i'm not constantly holding sprint and loving people up, even if it means i go 2-25. I'm doing my part. Stop being cowards and be bad with me so we can kill each other, what fun is it to hide in your little tower and kill me 20 times in a row with no effort?

I'm getting really sick of Queen. I like their music, but parts of the Internet won't shut up about Bohemian Rhapsody, and it's getting old.

The Internet has a unique ability to take something that's good and run it so far into the ground that you get sick of ever hearing about it again.

That's just pop culture. I loved Wonderwall when I first heard it on the radio in the 90s and then every loving show and movie used it too and now I wish Oasis was dead.

I've personally never liked Wonderwall. It's entirely because of the singer's whiny, nasally, annoying voice. I hate these whiny weasel fucks sounding like they just missed the bus

Nirvana are a pretty good band, maybe the romance is overblown thanks to Cobain's death but they had great albums and genuinely had a great sound, bleach has a few great tracks on it, nevermind is just a classic rock album and unplugged in new york showed a totally different side to them

I'm biased as gently caress because i first heard Nevermind when I was about 10 back in 1993 so they were the first really "alternative" band I ever had listened too, I think it was my friends cousins from Canada had brought the tape over when they were visiting, either way it sparked an interest in the band and I've always admired their music. Being so young I didn't really comprehend his whole death and the circus around it and I probably didn't hear another piece of Nirvana music until I went online in the late 90's but they'll still always be one of my favourite bands

I think they have plenty of good songs but they had a lot longer to make them. And plenty of turds. And nothing much to get excited about.
