Like bruh that’s not quite how hemorrhoids work.
Sure doing it in the moment might help give you a little relief when the symptoms are happening but it doesn’t get rid of the problem and doesn’t prevent symptoms. That’s why certain products were made and why they do medical procedures for this.
You could freshly wash there every single hour and still get irritation going poop. Cuz it’s inflammation of the veins up in there.
These soo called Dragon Quest “fans” that are all irrationally upset over the Female Warrior in Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake barely wearing some clothing underneath the impractical bikini armor in updated artwork.
Like ffs I like sexy women as much as any non-gay man would but damn guys chill the fuck out and stop obsessing so hard over anime titties to the point where you wanna whine and boycott a high quality product over it!!! For the in game sprites you can barely even see the difference aside from the short shorts.
They’re ignoring so much of the good with this top tier remake of one of the best classic JRPGs. Over freaking anime boobs on a generic warrior woman lol, among a very scant few other very inconsequential things.
Just seeing this grinds my gears to the core.
Slippery slope, next thing you know it's gonna be Tofu, or Cricket, smh
Why does this product exist? Are there people out there who want their clean plates or spatula to smell like fake flowers? I bought my usual blue dish soap and it has the 'new fresh' scent now. Why can''t something just be clean and smell like nothing?
Reading through a reddit post and comments, finding something you really want to engage in, just to hit the reply button when nothing happens and you realize it's a dimmer text and the damn post has been locked for no apparent reason.
Don’t update your Iphone we will drain your battery..
Don’t update your IPhone, hope you liked having Bluetooth function.
Fuck you apple.
Brb in bed for 10pm for my morning run following by a cycle and avocado toast in a local artisan cafe.
I find it so irritating. The reels, the bland sameness of it all, the smugness. It's devoid of human spirit and just packages sport, fitness and health into this cutesy like packaged good for social media consumption.
On the flip side I can also see it as a good thing where people can be inspired to enjoy a more spiritually sustainable richer way of living. It's just when it is blatantly for social media content that it gets to me.
Posts with poor grammar, spelling errors, and the like get me so bad.
The subs most often guilty are r/TwoHotTakes and r/AITAH. The subs themselves are great, they just have the most offenders.
If I click on a post and it’s one long run-on sentence, I’m not even bothering to read the post. No apostrophe? Not reading. “There” when it should be “Their”? Bye.
People on Reddit are weirdly prickly about questions. Plenty of them do answer questions thoughtfully and actually provide valuable knowledge. But then there's the other massive chunk of the individuals on here who will read something like "How do I cook mushrooms?" and COMPLETELY sidestep the question just to bitch at the OP about how mushrooms are sentient or something, so eating them is wrong.
If a question just so happens to approach 5% controversial, pretty much the entire page will just be people giving a lecture about the ethics of GMO's instead of actually answering the question in the first place.
Any searches I have (usually troubleshooting something) can get very bloated with several dozen astute gentlemen going "ERMMM ACTUALLY!!!!!!" over a person's desk layout or something, with zero actual answers in sight.
What really makes me so upset is when I ask someone for an answer or reasoning and they go " 'Cause" and I ask " 'Cause what?" and they then go "Just 'cause".
Like bro just tell me, stop making me wonder what the reason is over something that's not even that bad, like it's nothing important and I just wanna know why you think whatever you did and you're going "Just 'cause" like dude just tell me.
Like just tell me!
MFer, there’s a word for that!!!!
Say, “I agree, but”
Say, “You may have a point, but”
Say, “I’m not sure if I agree, but”
This stupid double-negative really grinds my gears!
They liked the post enough to take the time to DM, but don't even upvote. Really grinds my gears.
I’m lookin at you Applebee’s! Screw your half price boneless wings and stop making me associate my favorite classic rock songs with your nasty food!
And Ozempic too, screw you for using Pilot’s song “Magic”.
Innocent human lives are not a “cost,” they are priceless.
“Russia gains ground in Ukraine by sending wave after wave of innocent human life to get gunned down by Ukrainian soldiers for no reason other than Putin’s wet dream.” A title.
I do love a good action movie and can usually put my brain on pause long enough to enjoy some silly fights, but one thing that always gets me no matter what is when they have some incredibly strong character (I’m referencing superhero-levels here) stops some rampaging charging monster in its tracks while their feet are planted on the ground. Let’s use a scene from the first Fantastic Four film from 2005 where Michael Chiklis’s Ben Grimm stops an out of control 18-wheeler by just standing in front of it. Assuming The Thing has the molecular density to absorb that kind of hit, the asphalt surface he is standing in doesn’t have the capability of generating enough friction between its surface and Ben’s feet to keep him in place. If in fact the asphalt could generate that kind of friction, the particulate makeup of the asphalt itself would be reduced to oily gravel. Same issue with Superman catching an airplane while standing on the ground, Hulk face-punching a Chitauri dreadnaught while standing on a bridge, none of the supporting structures around these characters would survive such an impact.
The actual definition of mortified: acutely embarrassed or humiliated
The internet’s definition of mortified: horrified, shocked, caught off guard
I noticed this for the first time probably about a month ago and now I see it everywhere and it’s really, really gotten under my skin. Usually I can get past these kinds of word jumbles but this one seems to be happening more and more, and it’s getting more irritating every time I see/hear it
I always correct people when they use the word need wrong. My husband gets annoyed when I do this. Not in a offensive or angry annoyed. It's more of a joking way put it really is a pet peeve of mine. Want is so vastly under used. I'm not sure why it bugs me so much though.
You know that feeling when your playing any online game and you randomly get lag spikes so hard you legitimately can't play but you know you can't say anything about it cause no one's gonna believe you and just call you a sore loser
Not edited for language, I get that the FCC has its rules or whatever. Edited for time! Why shorten a song?
For example, “Freedom” by George Michael, and “Who are you” by The Who.
I have those songs memorized and it grinds my gears so hard when radio stations cut out parts of them for time!
Most of the time, the captions are so idiotic, saying the comic is “funny” when it isn't. In another case, a few comics are thrown out of context. I infer that this comic is missing a panel, yet the person who posted this did it for attention, and not in a good way. How do I know? A majority of this post's comments are along the lines of “YOUR POST SUCKS; F**K YOU”. However, my comment was a more mature reaction: “I'm not buying it”. Then the algorithm just teases me with even more stolen comics as its way of telling me “No, you do love those comics!”.
I'd be willing to hear your input on sh*t like this.
I’m talking this girl has a half filled wine glass. Camera cuts away.. then back to her and BEHOLD. Wine glass all the way full. Completely different hairstyle has to be the worst!! It was a fishtail braid and now yall have her in a reguhlah braid?! One button unbuttoned vs two. I just can’t with it. Kills the entire immersive movie vibe.
When they use a dang fake baby in movies.. and it’s clearly a fake baby. Like they getting up close and personal with the camera. Baby crying, hands nor mouth moving 😂
Just what in the actual fuck are the trains doing when they're just slowly going back and forth? 😤😂 Seriously why?? I'm typing this as we all sit in traffic and the train just moved Backwards out of sight in the direction it came from 😐
Lots of shitty games have just the most dipshit sounding explosions and sounds I've ever heard.
Why tf does everything have this weird deep based gutteral sound like BMMMFF or something? Or gotta have hit markers or every little thing rattles, clicks, and clacks or has it's own version of these fuckin explosions sounds as you walk or do literally anything
Just go watch gears of war 5 cutscenes for example Or play that garbage COD warzone to hear how you walk Hell this started years ago with in game sounds and made it into cutscenes
It's awful. And has made it into visuals as well with explosions and stuff being tiny fucking poofs of fire looking I just sharted after eating peppers all day
It's one fucking number people. Three hundred thirty five NOT 300 and 35 Even worse when I hear this from people who are supposed to be educated Grammar over text is dumb but if you're gonna physically speak then do it right.
Seriously, as if these politicians don't take enough of my money already. Every time I'm listening to music or watching a video, I keep getting interrupted by "$5 can help me defeat my opponent!" And when you look into it, you find such and such CEO has donated however many millions to their campaign. And then they have the gall to say their opponent is in league with the billionaires. You're ALL in league with the billionaires, and yet the millions of dollars they're donating to your campaign is somehow not enough so you come to me wanting me to open my wallet for you. Once the election is over, poof that money is gone. And then in a few years this madness starts all over again. I'm so sick of it.
Advertisements? I pay money for streaming services and I have to pay more to not watch ads? I subscribe to these streaming services because I can’t stand ads, especially the political ads! This is why I don’t pay for cable!
I was minding my business studying and had my eyes on my laptop. I then see at their corner of my eyes someone looking at me and I see it is someone maybe in their 20s staring hard and we made eye contact and they looked at me with hatred. I gave them a dirty look back like "wtf" btw they were with their parents I seems and the mother Just rubbed her kids back. What would you have done? Tbh I should have asked can "I help you!"
I hate letting things go because I would have preferred saying something so they can think because they look at another person the way they looked at me.
Note: it's also really cold and I have my mask on and seriously was minding my business!
Subreddits removing content for no good reason. Lmao I got a post removed just because other people talked about the same topic. Kinda bs if you ask me
