I hate the concept of Wakanda.

Imagine Marvel ripped off a piece of actual Europe, say... Rheinland-Platz or Saarland, and made it a fictional country, and they call it Frangrain or Politance, and the country is an absolute Monarchy, where the king wears powdered wigs and long, thick coats, and the population wears that goofy pilot leather hat and Eren Jaeger's pirate shirt, and there's guillotines and trials by combat, and castles and everybody drinks beer, dances in towns festivals, they're all white with pinky cheeks when they get drunk, and some of them drink tea, or wear the goofy pants-with-suspenders thingy, or make chocolate and those clocks with a bird, and is an isolationist, xenophobic, politically aggressive nation who won't engage the outside world, not even the rest of Europe, who they consider 'not proper europeans' and didn't give a shit about during the numerous wars and struggles through History. And they sit atop a mountain of gold they don't share with anybody and can't be robbed off. All of this while having the best artists, scientists, philosophers, engineers and superheros the world have to offer.

Imagine this.

A canadian podcaster actually did make a fictional white wakanda-like country, and a bunch of SJW's and trolls convinced the RCMP it was a real terrorist group instead of what it was-a podcast joke. google "hategate" if you want a good laugh.

 
When music videos start with some bullshit closed captions with shit like [Upbeat rock music] nigger they can tell by looking at it that it's upbeat. They can't FUCKING HEAR IT. Why are they listening to a fucking VIDEO? They're FUCKING DEAF!

The lionization of unions as panacea for the corporate machine. Here’s what working with a union is like: they’ll parade a list of benefits they’ve won, but a quarter were pioneered by Henry Ford and the most recent is from 1975, with each subsequent negotiation having lost ground on the quality of said benefits if not losing them outright (where they will be quietly remove from the paraded list). Your time is spent in service for the very men who voted to pull the rung up after themselves to make more money than you while only working six months out of the year. You will be pressured to assist others with their jobs should they fall behind sunce, as a union, your bonus pay is measured as a collective; but if you do do then good job retard, that’s part of your job forever now. If you have an issue with this, you’d better hope your union steward isn’t a useless fuckhead, which is impossible since it only ever attracts useless fuckheads looking for an excuse to get out of working. All this for the cost of paying more in union dues than you could ever hope to see in return should things go south and you lose your job. Don’t expect the union to actually care, they’ll only fight for your job if you’re the type to just not show up for work; layoffs get no such defense.

Funnily enough, unions being nothing more than toothless, predatory scams was common knowledge a little over a century ago. To the point where even the outspoken socialists at the time often condemned them for being such, and warned people not to join them.

Thread Tax: Fruit flies.

I remember saying something similar in another thread about audio captions for the blind and how they would use certain concepts that would be unknown to someone who can't see. It was a news article about Star Wars and it was a narrator for the blind talking about Darth Maul saying "an ominous man wearing a red cloak" and I'm like OK how would someone who can't see know what either the color red or being ominous would be.

It's the absolute example of performative virtue. They're just doing this shit to say "look how much I care about muh marginalized communities" while doing literally jack shit to benefit anyone in those communities.
 
Fuck others retarded, angry drivers in my shithole town. Apparently taking longer than 2 seconds to drive at the green light causes people behind me to aggressively honk at me. Later on, it's absolutely OK for assholes to stay parked at the green light for 30 seconds, flailing their fucking hands in the air when I honk.

My personal favorite of this fucking bullshit is some retard honking at me a minute straight because I'm not turning right on a light with a sign that says "no turn on red." This is why I just don't have a gun in my glove compartment at all times because I would have shot that faggot.
 
Maybe it only happens to me. Sometimes I find myself at an excursion of some cultural heritage or industrial site, and for too many times I've experienced, that before we get anywhere, we have to stand at the most exposed, coldest part somewhere at the entrance, where is also fucking nothing interesting to see. And the guide talks seemingly for hours, explaining the entire history of the object, everything about its owners, all the reconstructions or sortiment etc., before they open the door and we can f i n a l l y proceed inside, where is a bit less cold as balls. In the worst case, the guide asks if anyone has questions, and someone has them, before the excursion even properly started. Don't they feel cold at all...?

You know, the entire family tree of that noble could be explained inside, at the mural where the family tree is depicted and by all the painted portraits. Rumours of the naughty baroness' personal life could be talked about right in the ornate bedroom of hers. The sortiment of the factory could be described in the room said items are displayed. The process could be shown at the production line.
Even tho I almost don't drink lately, I think I should pack a small bottle of booze, just in case, so it's more bearable.

And if you drink all of it before they let you in, maybe it will disinhibit you to the point you can just suddenly yell "NIGGERS" for no reason.

It's for those who have lost their sight or have limited sight. Grew up with a guy who slowly lost his vision as we aged; he was declared legally blind when we graduated high school, but would completely understand what red and ominous would look like just from experiencing it as a kid.

Thread tax: small venue, standing room only concerts where over half of the front of the crowd stands there uninterested like a retarded Lurch. Yeah, I didn’t have to pay top dollar and Ticketbastard fees to get in the door, but if you’re not even going to do a basic head nod to acknowledge the bands efforts, move to the back of the venue so those of us there to support our favorite bands don’t have our views blocked, assholes.
 
It's 2025 and I still find videos, recent ones, where the person goes "Huh yeah, this is kind of...yikes." totally unironically when talking about a movie scene. Do these people realize they sound like retarded children when they do that? All it says to me is that the person is too stupid to explain why they dislike something, so they just go "Icky ick!" as a knee jerk emotional response instead of explaining what's actually wrong.

You know when you go to a hotel and the A/C unit in your room is loud and/or gets really cold or really warm, there's no in between.

Which reminds me, I don't think I've met one hotel shower plumbing arrangement that I didn't need to spend five minutes figuring out if I didn't want to scald/freeze myself with. Why do they use the weirdest fucking showerheads and knobs?
 
Not every negative sentence directed at you is a "death threat". Not every reply is a "DM". 99% of the time someone says they're "getting DMed death threats" it's a reply that says "do a flip".

I hate that they all go with a single control. I want 2. "Volume" and "Temperature"
At home I went all in with the fancy. 4 knobs. One each for flow of the shower head, hand shower and tub spout and one for the temperature. The temperature is thermostatic so you set it once and forget it unless, I guess, you share with other people with different ideas of 'warm'.

It's not perfect but it's as close as I've been able to find that's fully manual with no electronics.
