I tried to explain to my dad why Natasha Romanoff is an important character. I don't know what the hell I was thinking but it was an exercise in frustration, misogyny, and getting interrupted.

A bunch of random annoyances.

-People who put quotation marks where it's not needed.  It's especially annoying when they quote something you said in the manner.  Like if I say I won 5 bucks on a scratch off ticket and someone responds "Good job winning "5 bucks"".  Did that really need quotation marks?  Adding the quotation marks takes an innocent statement and makes it mockery.   

-Stupid cutesy new words for slang words.  Totes (Totally) Amazeballs (Amazing) Adorbs (Adorable).

-I generally like online courses.  They allow me to do things at my own pace and I can take tests without having to memorize all this stuff (no one to tell me I can't look at my textbook).  But if there's one thing that's annoying, it's the requirement to respond to people when they are saying the exact same thing you've said, but worded differently. 

-Also, the fact that the discussion board for my online class has no spell check.  I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, but of all the places where spell check can really come in handy, not having it for online courses, seems counterproductive. 

-Ray Comfort.  Good god this guy is irritating.

Today my manager told me that he will never transfer me to the department in which I would like to work, effectively because I am too effective to move out of my current department.  This is despite the fact that 1) I have years of experience in that department at another location, 2) I have requested to move, 3) the department manager has requested me, 4) there is an opening in the department, and 5) he promised to move me if there was an opening and I proved myself to be a good worker.

I kind of saw this coming, so I'm not really mad about it, but it's still disappointing.

-Also, the fact that the discussion board for my online class has no spell check.  I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, but of all the places where spell check can really come in handy, not having it for online courses, seems counterproductive.

Write your responses in word, and then copy and paste it into the discussion forum.

Whenever some neckbeard makes an argument that's either based on nonsense conclusions ("feminists write books, so did the Nazis, therefore feminists are Nazis), or blindingly false ("if women don't want to get raped then they shouldn't leave the kitchen") and then gets condescending or pissy when people mock their arguments.

This should make you feel better.

Chrome and Firefox both come with automated spell check functions.

People who declare feminism a hate movement because some obscure feminist said something stupid but be supportive of the "Men's Righs movement".

People who come up with really flimsy reasons to hate feminism. I can't tell you how many MRAs I've seen blame domestic violence against men on the duuluth model (a model that while stupid and ineffective, has in no way actively harmed male survivors rights.)

People who hive mind feminism.

On the other end of the spectrum, SJWs who do this:

Doesn't work with Blackboard, which I'm assuming is what he's using.  I have no idea why, but Blackboard doesn't let Firefox use its spell check in its little message input boxes.

Fuck you, Chrome.  Fuck you, Tumblr API.

...Why wouldn't Tumblr support secure fucking connections?  That's like a dude's penis not supporting a fucking condom that literally everyone else can wear.

People who think that pissing your opponent off=winning the argument.

Responding to criticism by going "LAWL, U MAD BRO? LAWL, I BET TEH BABY WANTS TO CRY!" Doesn't make you look like le epic trollzor, it makes you look 10-years-old.

Check your secure fucking connections privilege.

A thing that annoys me is the fact that people are literally getting more upset over a flag being burned in Ferguson than the atrocious violations of human rights that are going on there.
Mockery of ideas you don't comprehend or understand is the surest mark of unintelligence.

Even the worst union is better than the best Walmart.

That flag was no angel anyway.
