This is a hate space 😤
Software that switched from: Yes/No
to: Yes/Ask Me Later.I got angry just reading this!
I’d imagine some random cashier at a Walmart 2 years from now asking “Do you want your reciept?” and the options are “Yes / Maybe Later”
Uninstall + search for foss alternative
every chance I get
Mine is drivers who act like there aren’t other people on the road. IE turning into your lane doing greatly reduced speed right in front of you, Doing well below speed limits in faster lanes and refusing to get over, etc.
my city is kind of known for bad drivers. 7 times out of 10 when you’re joining the highway, the idiot in front of you is not accelerating and you have to join the 100km/h road doing 50. almost died today because of one of these idiots, they didn’t look and there was someone coming from behind and we all had to slam the brakes. oh and it’s snowy and icy here, and today it rained.
are you me?
To this I sternly reply:
Ask me later!
Do you want to leave a review?
Yes / maybe later
Yes. 1 star!
Ads. I am so fucking sick of ads. I have ad blockers on many things and my next network project will be adding a pihole to my network for network ad block. Sick of it.
My husband has set up a pihole and it’s the best ever. It used to run off an actual raspberry pi but now we have a home server and he got it set up on there. Literally yesterday he also added Tailscale to our computers and phones and it seriously rocks my socks. I don’t even exactly know what it does but suddenly I’m not getting any ads while at my in-laws house on their WiFi so, score! I am not tech savvy enough to know about these things, much less set them up myself, but I am super thankful that my husband aggressively hates ads and I get to benefit from his crusade against them.
Tailscale is a virtual private network (VPN). It connects everything together that is connected to it as though they are all in the same place. You might be physically at your in-laws house but your device is communicating with a private network over your in-laws’ network.
Whoa, that’s insane. I didn’t think VPNs worked like that.
Large corporate offices often run VPNs in a similar way, anyone with a work-from-home laptop or phone generally has to log into a VPN to get internet/network access.
It’s getting crazy. Or I’m just becoming more aware of them.
Normal is crazy, so it could be either. My shock when 🏴☠️ I realized that TV show episodes (not streaming) are generally 22 minutes for a half-hour slot - almost a third of TV is ads.
I have an executive function disorder, ads literally prey on my disability even as society laughs at the idea of attention being something other than a product of pure limitless willpower.
You sound like me haha. Is there a good Lemmy site to replace r/AdBlock? We need to get like minded people together to form an underground resistance against the ads.
I also wish more specialized communities existed. The trouble is, I lack the willpower to moderate them and the discipline to find things to post regularly to get them going. :/
Gambling loops put into most mobile games, especially when targeting children.
Any kind of gambling, any kind of magic thinking
I hate that people dont just hit “fuck it” and go full French revolution on billionaires when they see them.
Tbh, I don’t think I have ever seen one in-person
Surely someone has a list?
What are you doing when you see a billionaire?
I’ve never seen one in person, so probably walk by cluelessly.
No clue, I live in BFE … so have never knowingly met one.
The French revolution was against the Aristocracy, not the Bourgeoisie. The masses know their king and lords but which Capitalist do they know besides Bill Gates and Elon Musk?
This is the issue.
About 2000 people need to be “arrested” and the 1% is gone.
If you do so without changing the law, don’t you think the 1% will have the revolutionaries arrested first?
“Arrested” … See the “quotes”.
The revolutionaries can also be “arrested”.
A country that regularly does regime changes will not be surprised by a revolution. I think there needs to be political change if the power structure should change. The interesting thing is that poor people in America probably still use more resources than the global average. Are people willing to support a change to own less?
theil and co. all have public addresses, screaming into the void is alot less work than tracking em down though
Capitalism
I hate how a lot of men make the rest of us look bad. Can we just chill out for a bit? Like, can guys stop beating on their wives, molesting children, raping, and murdering? Please? Idk what to do besides just be chill myself and try to encourage others to be the same. Let’s just read some books with some piano in the background.
It’s an absolute shit show.
Women have it bad. Honestly I don’t know how how you all have the patience to try to figure out which guy isn’t a psycho.
As a cis het man, I know that alone is enough to make some women say “pass”.
I feel like if men learned more about consent and empathy and stopped listening to assholes like Andrew Tate or Joe Rogan, we’d be in a much better state.
Had my first creep encounter at night outside after transitioning. Nooot fun lol
No patience, just sheer terror.
It’s mainly a white man and Indian man (aka pick mes) thing, but black men and Latino men are catching up.
people who blame you for the actions of others are idiots and dicks.
stop feeling guilty by association, have some pride in yourself.
I don’t feel guilty by association, and I am proud of how much I’ve grown and accomplished this far, I’m happy with myself - still hate those guys making the rest of us look bad though, and deservedly so.
People succumbing to all those biases do suck, but also I think collectively it sucks when there are people out there padding those stats and feeding into those biases further.
I don’t look bad because they do those things. I am not them. What a bizarre proposition.
Do you not know how stereotypes work?
Men = bad?
So I guess that’s a no
Allow me to explain this to you since you seem to be a bit slow.
Thinking all men are bad is an example of a very common stereotype.
YA DON’T SAY

Maybe you thought you were conveying more information than you were, but the comment I replied to literally just says “men=bad?”
How the fuck am I even supposed to interpret that as a reply to what I said?
Maybe take a look at the discussion before getting so angry and hostile. Your reply is a nonsense sentence fragment the ends in a question mark. Not exactly sure what you were trying to say.
nah bro, you don’t understand. you and anyone penis having adjacent are personally liable for the actions of every man…
or so feminist theory says.
weird though that when a woman rapes a kid, or beats someone, or murders someone… not all women are responsible for her actions… she’s just some lone psycho…
The number of men that do those things compared to the number of women doing those same things aren’t in the same ballpark.

It really isn’t, that’s a whole other subject entirely filled with its separate issues i.e. oppression keeping black people impoverished, more wrongful arrests made on black people, etc.
It’s ironic that you’re getting angry about a comment where I’m asking men to chill out. Chill, go read a book with some piano in the background.
If you want to have meaningful discussion about the stats and how men are misrepresented by them, by all means present your case respectfully and we can discuss it further.

Same, I’m also a man and I haven’t done any of those things either. I never said that all men are bad - I’m saying there are too many out there making the rest of us look bad, and I hate that. Chill.
I’m OK with hearing black people commit more low level crimes than white people.
I’ll take that over 7 out of 10 white men either fuck children or want to fuck children and 7 out of 10 white women are more likely to lie and make false allegations to avoid accountability for anything.

I hate that most people’s ideas of success is to earn lots of money and buy expensive things, rather than help the community.
i mean, have you tried either?
helping your community is a task of endless need and criticism that opens you up to personal liability and attack. like i have been verbally assaulted and threatened by people for helping my community. i’ve never encounter that at my place of employment.
earning lots of money and buying shit is way more fun and easy. when i stay at a hotel the hotel staff don’t threaten to beat the shit out of me.
What!?
i have been verbally assaulted and threatened by people for helping my community
I am curious now, tell us the story
i have been verbally assaulted and threatened by people for helping my community
Yup, that’s real. I was once berated for offering free HIV testing at a Pride event. I guess the guy took it as a personal affront because he likely was HIV positive and thought what we were doing was ridiculous. But he did take the opportunity to try to make me look and feel bad in front of other people by mocking me and being absolutely rude. Like, you could’ve just said no. You don’t need to insult an underage kid to feel good about yourself.
The fact that horrible fascist and billionaire ghouls living in their 90s+ while people that did nothing heinous or actual good in the world are dying of cancer, heart attacks, aneurysms etc.
It’s not fucking fair and and Billy Joel was right when he said only the good die young
Makes we believe that there isn’t any omnipotent being out there or perhaps this universe is the bad place
Daylight Saving time, Donald Trump & his supporters, the US healthcare “system”, mosquitos, Christmas music, babies on airplanes, hangnails, bigotry and intolerance of other people’s cultures, and the Dutch.
Dutch?
Austin powers reference: “there’s only two things i hate in this world”
Particular ones. Like Dick Schoof.
Christmas music
There are a couple of songs I like, but honestly a lot of it is junk, which wouldn’t be too bad if they hadn’t already been playing in stalls for half a month.
The Grinch wears a top hat.
True. “Carol of the Bells” goes hard. It sounds like you’re being chased down a dark alley by a serial killer.

AT&T. We recently had an issue where our internet stopped working properly. My mom had to call them four times before they actually fixed our internet. The first time, she was put on hold for about 40 minutes before either the call ended itself or they hung up. The second time, she actually got through to someone but they didn’t fix our internet and instead told us that our current internet package would soon be phased out and then spent about half an hour basically forcing her to getting something called “AT&T Air”.
The third time she called, my mom told them that she didn’t want AT&T Air and that if she can’t use the package we have now, then we’ll be switching ISPs. The woman on the phone said that she’ll cancel the new package and put her on hold for about half an hour but she never did actually cancel the package or fix our internet, and she also never returned so my mom just hung up on her. The fourth time she called, the guy on the phone ran a diagnosis on our internet and finally fixed it within a few minutes. We have no idea why it took so long for them to do this but we’re glad to finally have working internet.
But even though we do now have working internet, we are still thinking about switching ISPs. Even though they did send the equipment to use AT&T Air, we are not going to use it and we are going to send it back and try to get them to actually cancel the package. We aren’t sure exactly when we are going to switch ISPs but my mom stated she wants to wait until after the holidays to do so, which probably means no sooner than January.
not sure how it works at ATT but usually for ISPs they contract multiple call centers for support.
it sounds like the first three times were to the same call center vendor and the fourth was to an actual ATT company support center. this routing happens randomly or based on time of day (Tod).
these vendors have incentives to collect the most calls, and resolve them as quickly as possible. they also have a hidden incentive to convert as many support calls to sales calls.
a “completed call” is one where the caller ends the call after a goal has been achieved. this means if you hang up before the goal is achieved it’s not counted against the vendor and shows as a “disconnect” even if you were on hold for six hours. many operators will identify what you want, deem you as a nuisance, and place you on hold long enough to get you to hang up and make you someone else’s problem. they have the incentive to convert you to sales and get paid a bonus for these sales.
it seems like your mother was handled by a veteran contract operator that upsells and dumps.
next time, tell them you want to speak to someone in cancelations and you will be transferred to someone inside the ATT customer service center. from there you can get transferred to an operator that actually works for ATT.
I hate being expected to observe holidays that were created on a foundation of racial and cultural obliteration.
I would like to add a holiday that once celebrated peace, but now celebrates militarism and war: Veterans Day (US). Not long ago, it was St. Martin’s day, a feast that commemorates a Roman soldier who abandoned his military office to become a monk. It was customary to sign peace treaties on his feast day for this reason. Included in this was Armistice Day, the end of World War 1. Eventually in the US this was changed to Veterans Day in 1954.
I hate when people are needlessly negative.
Hey, fuck you.
This drives me up the wall here on Lemmy and it manifests itself in so many ways. People just being outright shitty and calling each other names over a difference in opinion like “shitlib” rather than listening to what they’re saying.
Or even those who misinterpret why they’re being downvoted and start spitballing while using that as an opportunity to grind their axe. “Oh, poor me is being downvoted for having these perfect ideals, it’s the grander community who hates me, wah!” No, you’re just being hardheaded and causing your own problems, why are you blaming everyone else?
Gah! 🙄
The people who think they can just cure mental illness like depression by saying things like “have you tried not being sad?” or “have you tried smiling more?” instead of actually being sympathetic and understanding.
I don’t have any mental illness that would attract those people, but I still find they have very punchable faces.
Also, since I am out of practice since I haven’t played for over a decade, I am currently absolutely hating Ulala from Space Channel 5 because of Sega Superstars Tennis, xbox360. Specifically because of the vs mode on normal difficulty and her getting her useless ability way too quickly and my ability being useless because the game decides my shots deserve to go directly to the other player with zero chance of going where I want it to.
Yes! Let the hate flow through you!
Feel the true power of the dark side!
