It's the attempting to get out of doing work that causes problems. The hoarding of wealth, the insane politics. It all comes down to greed, which is just another facet of "not wanting to do work."

Work is unavoiadable. If you can enjoy your work then it's called "play."

Enjoy your work. If you CAN'T find a way to enjoy your work then you're doing the wrong work.

These channels are so incredibly low effort and they all post the same videos. I do not understand how people enjoy more than one commentary creator as they will just cover the same shit over and over. Not to mention many of them are in kahoots with one another and protect each other and create large form attacks on other creators such as what Nickisnotgreen did to Supermega in 2023. I just personally don’t understand how these channels are so popular especially because without the content being provided to them most of these creators would have nothing.

I love drinking beers, but i only do it because i enjoy being drunk, not because i like the taste. It's hard for me to believe people really enjoy its taste. For starters, if they really enjoy the taste, then it shouldnt matter if it has 0 alcohol or not, but usually "beer lovers" frown upon 0 alcohol beer. I love piña colada, but i love even more a VIRGIN piña colada, when i dont intend to get drunk. So for me, it makes 0 sense that you say you like the taste but you wouldnt get a non alcoholic one. If beer lovers really loved its taste, then they would drink it all day, and if they dont want to get drunk, then in theory they should switch to non alcoholic and it would still be "a refreshing beverage", but they dont, because it's just as awful as regular beer, but beer lovers refuse to accept it.

You are not owed an attitude. You are not owed an expression. People should be allowed to look and feel sad without being told they look ugly on top of it. Especially because acting confident usually makes us feel like we're acting douchey.

Please don't make us feel worse just to fit your standard of beauty.

God it fucking ruins the caramel apple, expecting a nice sweet juicy apply and you get an awful sour taste. I know i know "Sweet and Sour is good" normally I would agree but in caramel apples I can't it's an awful contrast between kinda sweet and too sour just put caramel and nuts on red/yellow apples.

I've seen this come up in many threads lately with different games like COD, Valorant, League, etc and many YouTubers ranting about it in the past.

I disagree with the idea that a microtransaction for any amount of money could be considered unfair or greedy if the item has a clear price and you get what you pay for.

If there is 500$ skin in a video game, I'm not going to buy it. Is it unfair? No, it clearly states a price and you can see what costs that much. Is it worth it for me? Also no, but there are many things in the world that cost a lot of money and I either don't have the wallet for it or I don't think it's worth it for me.

I'm not going around calling Ferraris, luxury clothes or expensive watches as unfair or greedy, so I'm not gonna call these either.

Skins are optional, cosmetic items in a game, they don't change how the game is played in any way. It doesn't affect anyone's gameplay if they have / don't have it.

Loot boxes are a different category. Those are a problem because you spend a small amount of cash for a small chance of getting something good, which is essentially gambling and I feel is a lot worse than expensive skins outright.

EDIT: Clarification based on some comments: I am talking about strictly cosmetic microtransactions, that don't give any sort of gameplay advantage. I dislike anything pay to win.

"Ugh, I hate Sharon from work. She's just too excited for everything. Can't we all just shut up and work and go home?" or "I hate mushy/emotional things" or "Tom's alright except for that creepy smile he always has on" seem to be the norm or even cooler thing to say as an adult. And for some reason, ppl with this attitude are also easier to just agree with even if that was not your initial opinion/personality.

It's almost Decemeber? Oh good god, here comes the painful Christmas music.

I know...could you please do us all a favor and walk around in your doom and gloom or arrogant but elite intellect pls? The happiness is coming to get us. /s

Cheesy but wholesome media like 90s family sitcoms/movies or upbeat pop songs are seen as annoying or easy to poke fun of. Disney/anime/action figure adult fans are like human versions of Croc shoes. Musical fans are another group. Pseudo-science like MBTI or astrology are known by everyone that it's not real science and literally simply there for ppl to have fun (yes even if they seriously get into it) and have community, but people love to put them all down and just call it stupid when everyone in it is there to just find connection. Yes, it's a different story if all these ppl push these things in your faces or try to force things, but ppl just make fun of them so much as a whole in general when they're literally just being happy and having fun. Esp in this dark, cold world. This also puts a lot of people in a position to just be quiet about these things even if they secretly enjoy them, which sucks.

People always whine about missing their childhoods, but in a way, these people are just getting those needs met without complaining, but so many people also shit on them as annoying/stupid/childish/weird.

Unless you have a better idea to cheer up this life a little more, no need to bully the ones who are doing their best, stigma or not.

I understand if there's a comfortable/uncomfortable line as adults to be too cheery, bright, or engage in childish things, but all in all, a lot of fun and upbeat things, and those who engage in them and are happy, are seriously hated when right now, we could use any kind of happy we can get.

i am a v neck hater, i cannot find one good shirt that’s v neck. i do not like it on women or men. on women it looks awkward, on men it just looks weird. i also may be biased because i look weird in v necks, and i hate the feeling of the air hitting my upper chest. i know many will prob disagree with this lol also i draped tops

This is a 4 team tournament with very limited rosters right?

How can there be snubs when 8 guys or less at each position get to go?

All I ever hear from Trae Young is that he gets snubbed….

Shai Mitchell Dame Brunson, leaving Trae out isn’t egregious; someone’s going to be left out!

It’s the only boss I’ve ever come across that actually requires real life physical skill to beat her. Skills that only existed in our video game peak of 10-15 years old. Those skills have completely faded with time for my 35 year old ass. For anyone unfamiliar you have to button mash faster than any game I’ve ever come across for about 30 seconds straight. Even using the button mashing technique does not work unless you time it perfectly. And you have to beat her FOUR TIMES if you want to 100 percent the game. She is bearable in the mines but once you get to Cloud Cuckooland you’re just being laughed at by the developers.

I love this game so much, but every time I get into the first little bit and I remember Canary Mary exists I want to rage quit before I even get into it. I hate that bird woman with a passion. And she looks so lame too and then she just zips past you no matter what you do.

It's a longstanding joke among successful creatives that "where do you get your ideas?" is the dumbest question a person can ask them. But I would argue that the reason why creatives don't like the question isn't because it's "dumb" (which it isn't) but because it's incredibly difficult to answer. When someone asks a successful creative person where they get their ideas, they are asking specifically where they are getting their GOOD ideas that lead to successful works. And often, even very successful creative people have a decent track record of bad ideas that didn't work and led to works that bombed. Because they don't KNOW where they get their good ideas. Because they often have a hard time telling the difference between a good idea and a bad one. And they have a hard time telling the difference because nobody spends much time really analyzing what the good ideas are and where they come from. Because nobody takes the question "Where you do you get your ideas?" seriously. Yes, creative ideas are very easy to come by, but good ideas are as rare as the most successful creatives, and I think it's worth really exploring the question.

Remember when Padme said: "So this is how liberty dies? With thunderous applause"

Hard shit.

How about litterally anything palpating says?

"It's treason then"

"Do it"

"Exacute order 66"

These lines are great on there own. Not to even mention the sheer amount of fantastic memes that came from the prequels diolague.

The acting isn't even that bad either, but that's besides the point.

I have read all the books. They are mediocre at best. I haven’t seen all the movies so who knows maybe those are good. But the books aren’t as great as everyone says they are. The world building isn’t good, the main characters are a bit boring, and the plot is just eh. The hype around it is too much.

To add onto this thanks to a comment about how to make it better.

1. I don’t find the world building immersive. On a surface level it’s ok but there isn’t really any depth.

2. I just don’t find the main characters interesting. I don’t know how to explain it besides they are boring. I don’t really see any growth of the characters throughout it.

3. It’s the same thing over and over each book. Harry does stupid shit. Almost gets killed. Doesn’t get killed. Rinse and repeat. Also the plot as a whole doesn’t seem thought out.

Also Voldemort is a boring villain.

Note due to comments about how it makes sense you wouldn’t like it as an adult I would like to mention I read them early teens and am still currently a teenager. Nothing to do with my age.

I'm sick of seeing all these debates over which food is good and which isn't, so let me spell it out for you:

People have different taste receptors because of their age and genetics; the reason that different people like different foods is because their sense of taste is literally different. Everyone needs to stop arguing over which food is good and which isn't, because what tastes good to you probably tastes absolutely horrible to someone else.

Let people eat what they want to eat, and for the love of all that's good in the world stop trying to convince people that they're meant to enjoy food that tastes terrible to them just because you enjoy it.

I’ve tried many tres leches from various bakeries and homemade. I am also someone who loves cakes and sweets and can generally finish off any dessert. But I have almost never had a tres leches cake I loved. I’ve had ones that were good or decent but they’re all just soggy and too sweet I’m sorry!!!!

I have tried all your brand name hot sauces but Tabasco is the superior one. Texas Pete is ass Franks red hot is probably the worst. Cholula is probably second along with Tapatio but when I go to a restaurant and they don’t have Tabasco (depending on the ethnicity of food) I get bummed out. Louisiana Hit sauce Valentina and crystal are honorable mentions but I still take Tabasco.

It's yellow and not even shiny. Stop it. It's an m and if anything, it looks like my kindergarten drawing of a bird. The same three birds I used to scribble in the corner of my landscape, where the middle was my triangle-roofed house next to a tree made out of sticks and curls, and in the other corner, a sun made of a cut off sun and lines.

There are so few examples of good collabs in music. Most of them are over 20 years old. There seems to be an obsession among modern fandoms of artists with “what if X collab’ed with Z?!” and the constant encouragement of these what ifs sometimes cause the collaboration to actually happen, and typically… it’s terrible!

Fans should just enjoy the artists they enjoy separately and not keep pushing for weird collaborations that don’t even make sense.

It happens online a lot but also in real life that people just talk nonsense and lie on purpose. I'm not talking about talking bullshitting for entertainment with friends and family, but to troll and screw with people.

It is such an utter waste of time and mental energy to try and correct them or the record.

The best response is a short: "You're not believable" or "I don't believe you" or "You're not convincing" and leave it there. Responding like this demonstrates to anyone watching or reading the liar doesn't have the power they presumed to have and shows there is probably reason to doubt what the person is saying without getting into the weeds of trying establish what's actually true.

I don't think he's a bad actor by any stretch. Recently I've been watching through the entire filmography of the 007 movies (Minus Never Say Never Again) with my partner in release order. We just finished Live and Let Die and we just found Sean Connery's era to be so boring. I'm not sure if I've been spoiled by Craig's emotional highs and Brosnan's witty charm, but Connery feels so flat in his own movies other than being Action Man who can do anything. I even found Lazenby to be more enjoyable. He has the Superman problem for me, and his acting doesn't help, especially with how much SA energy he gives off just feeling creepy. Admittedly, he deserves some respect for being the first actor to take on the role in a feature film. (No, we haven't watched the Casino Royale mini-series either) Other than "He's so cool though!" why do people praise Connery's portrayal of Bond when the actor himself has brought much more talent to other roles in his career?

I’m sure everyone who has been late, usually regardless of the reason, will have had the old ‘WeLl YoU sHoUlD hAvE lEfT eArLiEr!’ No. If I have to be somewhere for 2, and I have a reliable public transport system that has me at work for half 1, I think it’s fair to say my time management/punctuality is not the problem. There are exceptions to this. If you’re travelling during a rush, you should be sure you’ve compensated for that, and you should make other arrangements if something results in cancellations that are for multiple days, where you’re usually informed beforehand either by the driver or by road signs, but to go ‘you should’ve left earlier’ to someone who travels on public transport implies we should prepare ourselves for every possible scenario. Maybe we should stay at work after shift in prep for the shift after, since there’s no guarantee there will ever be another bus to work.

Hate seeing it my big day it should all be about me and me and me. I have been seeing lot AITAH about that is my big day.

I got marriage and you know who had most stories about my marriage were all my family and friends who attended instead. After 2 years they still remember my marriage and how they enjoyed themself to the fullest while I was not personally able to join them in each of their stories as I had duty of meeting and greet each member who came who came.

You have your full life to be about you. What matters is about you and your other being happy. In fact there whole time it can be all about you is called honeymoon. Don't put restrictions on your marriage just be there for the ride like roller coaster there will be up and down but life is longer than 1 day. It day so many gather to be with each other unlike any other day. You have rest of your life to be about each other.

I’ve seen claims that the vast majority of lottery winners go bankrupt, and they’re presented, implicitly or explicitly as evidence that getting a windfall of money causes you to go bankrupt or at least fails to improve anyone’s financial situation.

I am convinced this is wildly misleading, because it assumes that lotteries are the same as a windfall of money and that lottery winners represent the typical poor person.

Odds are, the winners are more likely to be people who play the lottery an awful lot, which makes for a skewed sample that tells you very little about the average person and how they respond to sudden windfall.

I'm talking cheesy bread, bread sticks, biscuits, garlic knots, rolls, Texas toast, garlic bread etc- they're too dense, they get hard after like 15 minutes, if they're not too dry they're soggy, and they're usually served with pizza (except for the biscuits and Texas toast) which is great and all, but they're basically the same thing as the crust so it's just like you're wasting valuable stomach space on the worst part of the pizza!

I always hear people saying how much they love these dishes (especially the unlimited olive garden bread sticks) but most times I can't even eat 1 whole piece (and not for lack of trying!)-

The only exceptions to my bread side dish hate are the delectable rolls with the cinnamon butter from Texas Roadhouse and the cheddar cheese biscuit things from Red Lobster (but even that's gotta be eaten in moderation lol)-

For those who experience romance/love, it IS a magical feeling, whether it lasts long or short. The love itself is intoxicating, sweet, safe, etc. whether marriage is in the picture or not. It's just that the message that that love should be a definitr milestone to nearly everyone is what's the lie. So many millenials blame the media, movies and sometimes books from childhood for giving a false or overexaggerated look into love for the future. Not really. It just doesn't happen to as many people as society tells us. And that's okay too.

I was talking to my mother after a long day about how I actually had lunch because of what she packed me, and what she said was "Well, it's more like supper.", and that made no sense to me (Keep in mind it was 4 PM). I knew for a fact that this was not supper because supper was yet to come, and this evolved into a conversation about how meals are classified by when you eat them which isn't true and I'm gonna tell you why.

Breakfast: The meal to start your day and get the engine started.

Lunch: The meal or meals of moderate size to get you to Supper without being hungry.

Supper: The final big meal of the day to get you through the rest of the day and into the morning of tomorrow.

Snacks: Ofcourse not a full meal but the inbetween foods, mostly something like a fruit or little treatie of some kind.

Through this analysis I hope you can see with me that meals are not classified by time, but substance and magnitude. Brunch is breakfast but withou lunch for the day and likely more snacks. Sunch is supper without lunch and maybe a little bit of starving, idk you.
Thanks for coming to my TED-talk
Edit: I see many people saying that my definition is based on time, which is both true and not. It is based on when you wake up and go to sleep, not if it is 2 PM or 2 AM, which either way everything else is pure numerical.

Inmates are housed and fed using public money. It makes sense to me that they should contribute somehow toward their own expenses. So what if they’re paid pennies for a day’s work? The food, clothing, shelter, supervision, court costs, etc should be all paid for by the person being incarcerated whether through labor or other means.

Bad directors are to the face bad and no one praises them. But zack snyder who is one of the best cinematograhers but one of the worst director who is praised to have good direction by his dumb fans only.

During my lifetime, subtitles have gone from being something only used a tiny minority, to being really common. The first time I met a person (who wasn't deaf) that preferred to have subtitles on was in about 2012. This is also about the time it was expected for people to own smart phones and I don't think that's a coincidence. Since then it has become common for people to prefer subtitles and apparently it's because Sound quality has gotten worse. This is nonsense.

My hearing is not as good as it was in the 90's but I can hear modern TV shows. The mixing in modern media is different. The mixing is better, it's more realistic and that makes it more immersive.

I will compare the sound in two different, very popular, shows. Friends first aired when I was a child, Breaking Bad didn't air until I was an adult. I have rewatched them both recently. The sound quality and mixing on Breaking Bad is vastly superior to Friends. In Friends, almost every single noise is the same volume. Shouting, whispering, talking normally and the laugh track in the background; all these noises are similar in volume. If you have Friends on the TV, a constant stream of noise at the same level fills the room. It's better for use as background noise, it's worse if you are going to pay attention to the show. In Breaking Bad, the volume level changes. Sometimes it's loud, sometimes it's quiet and sometimes it's silent. The sounds are more realistic. It makes it more immersive, it makes the show more entertaining.

If you really can't hear modern TV shows, I suggest you get your hearing tested. There are people out there, including me, who can hear them absolutely fine. Your other option is to admit that you don't want to listen to the show, you only want a steady stream of background noise while you play on your phone and that is why you find the changing sound levels annoying.

Just to anticipate this reply. This is my genuine opinion. I watch TV without subtitles and I can hear it fine.

I’ve just always found that animals grow up to be cuter than when they were young. The tiny factor doesn’t really do it for me tbh. I just think the proportions look cuter as they grow up and have more fur. They grow into the cuteness for me.
