Re: Hate Thread

Unless it's a limited production # the manufacturer will just make more, so in essence the "collectors" are kind of just driving the price down and therefore screwing themselves. I know this doesn't help you get one now, but the thought of someone hurting themselves through stupidity always lifts MY spirits.

And jesus christ, I hate the idea of amiibos (which I was just made aware of) as a content unlocking system for games. I mean I don't like DLC but that's a whole other rat's nest, I can at least accept that it's not a COMPLETELY unreasonable method of content distribution. Edit : apparently there are people hacking amiibos/games to get at the stuff nintendo has locked away, you might want to look into that Lila, if content is what you're after.

Yeah, they're cool models, and I would actually consider buying some, if I had the money to spend on overpriced plastic. But having content you can only access if you have one for a game? It's insidious (genius from a marketing standpoint, but since I'm not profiting from it, fuck you nintendo), and not to mention something I would have thought beneath nintendo. TBH unless they start offering a digital, unlimited and instant way to unlock that content I won't be buying another nintendo product.

So I literally had a stomach dropping moment today.



I have never more strongly felt the urge to use this gif in my entire time on the internet.

Teaching people who have it in their mind that they simply do not know something, despite you trying and failing to teach them.

Please listen. You will become less frustrated. I promise. The secret to not having trouble is listening. Please try this.

David Cameron is just such a humongous bell end.

And now the government in my own country are going in the same direction.

Re: Hate Thread

Waking up in the middle of the night, or whenever one sleeps, and being immediately being on the verge of throwing up. And then having a repeat of that manner of waking up shortly before your alarm goes off.

When one stays up really late, and for some reason one's throat starts to hurt for no reason.

Re: Hate Thread

So once upon a time, I used to get migraines a lot. By 'a lot', I mean like 3ish a week. That was quite awhile ago, and now my average has been about one every other month... until this year. I'm fairly confident it's just a really bad year for allergies and not some underlying fundamental change with my health, but it's still annoying as hell. I've actually started keeping track of a headache journal, and in the past 30 days I've had 4 full fledged migraines and about that and a half again as many "normal" headaches, ugh.

Patience young grasshopper! You'll get there eventually. One day, long ago, I wanted a higher post count too. Back then, it was because I wanted my user title to be "Demon Girl" instead of "Jungle Girl." :p It can feel like it's taking forever if you think about it too much. So, just don't think about it, and eventually you'll have 1000! (but hopefully not by tomorrow).

Re: Hate Thread

Commercials that advertise products with recycled songs in the background. For fucks sake, have the decency to use the original voice and lyrics. :(

They've been running a commercial campaign for an online store over here for some months now, that feature the Backstreet Boys singing an altered version of "Larger than Life" ("Lager than life", "lager" being my language's word for a storage facility) where they dance in storage worker overalls and have cardboard box sets and back-up dancers.

Not long ago, they released follow-up set of commercials that feature a set up similar to the TV-series "The Best Singers", which - if you're not familiar with it, is basically about a bunch of current and former music artists that meet up and reinterpret each other's songs and perform them for each other while dining. This commercial version obviously took place in the same damn warehouse and treats the ridiculous commercialized song as some kind of revered music classic that a series of 90s and early 2000s pop artists are going to make their own homages to.

The thing is... I can't make myself hate that particular one... It's too silly and self-aware to really feel like a cheap shill and more like a tongue-in-cheek skit that happens to advertise a particular webstore. :p

Re: Hate Thread

This is probably unique to people that live in smaller places like me, but I kinda like that there's targeted ads on youtube for my area. What I don't like is when they butcher the pronunciation of the town, though, especially when the ad is trying very hard to give the tone as if it was locally produced, and not just a corporate ad with the location dubbed over. Had a telemarketer pull the same thing too. I generally let them finish their spiel if they're polite, but as soon as they butchered the name of the town they were claiming to be from I hung up.

Re: Hate Thread

Personally, locally targeted ads just creep me out.

OR

They're hilariously stupid, telling me that I can hook up with hot chicks who live in the rural areas where I stay sometimes during summer vacations - where basically everyone knows everyone. XD
