Normally, I kinda like Guild Wars 2's Heart of Thorns expansion content.  Its quite dense with things to do and is generally relatively enjoyable.  But why, oh why, are the hero point challenges in those maps (the ones that aren't "get to the point and stand there for a bit") behind fucking boss monsters that you need a group to kill?  I don't mind 'em being challenging.  Path of Fire (the sequel expansion) got it right, as its equivalents are hard to do solo, but its certainly possible if you remember to dodge.  But champions that can one-shot your happy ass with bullshit attacks that are hard to dodge, or a sequence of attacks that totally drain your stamina before whipping out said one-hitter-quitter?  Fuck literally all that noise.

I guess I slept at a weird angle or something and now half of my neck is in fucking agony. I guess this is what getting old feels like.

If a manga is advertised as "romantic comedy between the hero and the demon queen" but it turns out that the only reason the daemon queen goes on a date with the hero is...

Let's see: "The hero threatens to kill her unless she goes on a date with him and after seeing that he can defeat her easily she agrees only to save her life."

Japan: What the fuck?

I mean, it does turn into a rom-com later but the start of the series is a bit creepy.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

What little anime I've seen has often made me go, "Wait, what? What the fuck is happening?" And not because I can't follow the plot either.

A bumper sticker that read "American by Birth.  Gun owner by choice." against an American flag background.

What possesses a person to place that on their vehicle?  Wasn't even on a truck; it was on a fucking Prius.
Then again, I could be wrong.

I was hoping it would say "American by Birth, Asian by Girth". That would've been a lot funnier.

Heller was a really bad decision, but, as long as it remains in force...

It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?

Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

Speaking of, I really hate people who think, and refuse to be shown otherwise, that easier access to guns = less gun violence. How stupid or insane do you have to be to think like that? You shouldn't even need statistical evidence to show you that's bollocks, but we have plenty of it and there's still people like this.

Don't use nonsense to defend youresire to own guns. I mean I bought a katana (a real one, not one of those crap cheap things that are now illegal in the UK) back in university but I'm not about to sit here and tell you that if more people had swords we'd all be a lot safer and sword crime would go down (yes sword crime was actually a thing for while before the UK government brought in stricter laws). Because that'd be mental.

RSS seems to have shat itself for no reason, which as you can imagine is rather inconvenient for me.

Managed to miss the first step going to the break room yesterday, and fucked up my foot. I'm still limping, which wouldn't be SO bad; If walking weren't my primary method of getting around, including to and from work.
Excuse me, sir, do you have a minute to talk about your lord and savior, Hannibal Barca?

In this day and age, people apparently still fall for the whole dihydrogen monoxide schtick. For fuck's sake, that's just embarrassing.

You should see what happens when you show people how many E-numbers are in a banana.

I deleted 3 pages worth of porn links and gibberish by a spambot.

I can tolerate links to good porn but using spambots is nothing but lazy. These weren't even interesting, I remember seeing some that at least had funny looking porn-gibberish as the text.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
