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?
To this I sternly reply:
Ask me later!
Do you want to leave a review?
Yes / maybe later
Yes. 1 star!
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. :/
I hate when an app tells me to take a picture of my driver’s license
should be illegal tbh
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.
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.

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! 🙄
I hate being expected to observe holidays that were created on a foundation of racial and cultural obliteration.
I would like to add a holiday that once celebrated peace, but now celebrates militarism and war: Veterans Day (US). Not long ago, it was St. Martin’s day, a feast that commemorates a Roman soldier who abandoned his military office to become a monk. It was customary to sign peace treaties on his feast day for this reason. Included in this was Armistice Day, the end of World War 1. Eventually in the US this was changed to Veterans Day in 1954.
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.
What!?
i have been verbally assaulted and threatened by people for helping my community
I am curious now, tell us the story
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.

- Stores putting out Christmas merchandise before Halloween.
- People who use their phones while driving.
- Littering.
You know those package that said “tear here” and then proceed to stuck half way and you have to take out your scissor and cut it anyway? Yeah, those, hate it.
Friend who uses singular “scissor,” me too! Someone brought it up today as evidence against my proficiency in English. Interested in your experience of life using the singular.
I put my pants on one pant at a time.
Do you wear jean?
Ohh that’s an error on my side, english is just isn’t my native language.

I should have taken a photo.
I had a packet last week, with the tear-here on one corner, but the tiny cut, to enable the tearing, was on a different corner. Utterly deranged.
Gambling loops put into most mobile games, especially when targeting children.
Any kind of gambling, any kind of magic thinking
Depression
What the fuck
What the actual fuck
What the actual fucking fuck is this stupid ass bullshit
It’s outrageous! It’s unfair!
So you’re telling me, I could just live a normal life, but a part of my brain is getting rebellious and won’t cooperate, spreading negativity propaganda to the rest of my brain?
What. The. Fuck?!?
These bodies are complete shit. Evolution consistently results in biological forms that barely work. That’s what it does, it produces a bare minimum viable product, so that’s what we are.
This jumble of nerves and synapses and hormones and gut bacteria that we call a mind is a huge fucking tangled mess. Truthfully, it’s tragic that we have to live in these bargain bin bodies that break down constantly and often didn’t work right from the start.
I don’t have an uplifting end to this rant.
We’re all in it together?
Whoever thought of putting an entertainment system right next to the waste disposal is a complete and utter moron.
I can’t even turn things on without wondering if the cleaners sanitized/wiped in the wrong direction.
spreading negativity propaganda
That’s one way of putting it 🤣
Americans putting their thanksgiving in November.
WTF is wrong with you guys. It’s 4 weeks to Christmas, you need to spread your food based holidays out better.
Easter, Independence Day, then fucking nothing until bam, Thanksgiving and Christmas back to back.
I don’t want to hear about Labour day being a feast, it’s a day off work to celebrate working. Stupid fucking holiday.
Labor Day isn’t about celebrating work, it’s about appreciating the gains organized labor has made for working people.
Union employment has dropped off a cliff the last few decades, we won’t be celebrating it much longer.
The US doesn’t celebrate the real one (May Day) anyway
I’ve been wondering if that’s gonna turn around, given all the wins in the US over the last few years (John Deere, Starbucks, Amazon)
Not with a gutted Dept of Labor and a Democrat party that’s utterly spineless
Sure, but I don’t think union power comes from the government… (Obviously the government influences how easy it is to organise, but they aren’t the drivers)
No, but without an NLRB with teeth, businesses aren’t going to be forced to accept those contracts. Strikes work but theyre not good for anyone.
I don’t think they are meant to be good for anyone?
And strikes and other union activity were one of the drivers for the formation of the NLRB, right? (From reading wikipedia, I’m not American)
Ha, but we have an ace up or sleeve with the hard hitting maverick Chuck Schumer!
Well the “I’d pay you more if you weren’t in a union” type less have been pretty thoroughly trashed these days.
I’m getting cider drunk and pounding candy on October 31st, so October is already booked.
Absolutely, it totally wrecks us because we have no guaranteed time off. So yeah, we all get to play roulette at the end of the year to figure out who gets the PTO. I’m lucky enough in my current job to have that time, but it’s not guaranteed. So in the past I just agree to do the shifts because I don’t have kids. :/
Um… To be fair, it has been moved further away from Christmas once already…
Independence Day, then fucking nothing until bam, Thanksgiving and Christmas back to back.
Don’t forget about the candy-based holiday. Gotta pre-game our feasts with some junk food.
…also Christmas isn’t about food, it’s about spending money you don’t have on shit that people don’t need, cuz if we don’t, we’ve been trained to feel guilty. Also a lot of Qui-Gon Gin iconography around that time of year, but I don’t really know what that’s all about.
I thought it was young Obi-Won imagery
Well then you’re going to HELL, you dirty heathen!!
Uh, it’s Thanksgiving, Christmas, Super Bowl… Don’t sleep on the Super Bowl
Their owners don’t want their American workers to start getting ideas that they have the right to more time off and better work life balance. So they shove all the holidays in the end of the year to give them something to look forward to and shut up and work for that rest of the year
