Things That Annoy You

Thats what i would do. Better to better to screw yourself over in that regard than to end up homeless.

Sadly, they may be right. Nobody is asking you to "not be trans" or anything, but your integrity and pride are only worth so much. Neither of them are worth what could be your life.

This country is starting to revolve around smart phones.  Everything and anything is compatible with them.  In fact, the expectation seems to be that everyone has them.  QR Codes everywhere, apps for your iPhone...

Meanwhile all I've got is a dinky dumbphone tracfone which is physically unable to portray a webpage properly, just the text and maybe an image.

Meanwhile, I have no cellphone at all!

I wonder how many years ago it was "This country is starting to revolve around cell phones. All you see are ads for mobile communication! In fact, the expectation seems to be that everyone has them. Your boss always wants to get a hold of you outside of the house, people want to be able to text you instead of just calling your home landline...."

I've probably mentioned this before, but the word "demon" bugs me.  Why?  Because I grew up with it being spelled as "daemon," making the alternate, more common, spelling look completely wrong while most spell checkers mark the Latin spelling (my spelling) as wrong, as well as getting a point or two docked for spelling when I was in school because the teacher didn't know of said Latin spelling.

I love airsoft, but goddamn do you come home covered with welts after it.

I've got a blood blister from it on my finger as well. I think someone was putting out too much energy.

Nowadays, daemon and demon refer to different things (in connotation, at least). "Daemon" is usually used to refer to the original Greek concept of a benign or neutral spirit, as opposed to the Christianised concept of all demons as evil.

I feel like shit, and I'm so tired. So that basically means I didn't get anything done today, and my fanfic will probably have to wait...

I grew up playing Ultima, which is my explanation for that, as well as why I spell liche the way I do...and fuck you, Firefox spell checker, "liche" is a legitimate spelling!

If im doing something wrong, people will never tell me to correct myself, they will just say "oh fuck this you dont know what youre doing" and then completely take over.

I fucked up a few times baking this birthday cake for boyfriend, he kept taking over and doing it when he saw me doing something wrong, then bitched about how he had to make the whole thing.

Sorry dude, its not my problem.

You know what really pisses me off?  The "everybody's a goddamn sheep but me" attitude that some people have.  It's just screams pretentious twat.  Also, when people combine this with Godwin's law I want to punch them.

Wasn't there an xkcd comic about that phenomenon a while ago? Cueball, Ponytail, and a couple others were all sitting/standin on a train thinking "I'm the only one here who's fully awake and conscious about my surroundings! Everyone else is just a sheep on autopilot blah blah pretentious blah..."

The irony is that a lot of the people who spew that crap are conspiracy theorists who believe whatever crazy shit they read on the internet, mindless Glenn Beck/Rush Limbaugh fans, or bible-thumping fundies.

It was an Ayn Rand joke. But I agree, that elitist attitude pisses me off. And it is also a good justification for not doing anything.
