On a related note, the idea in films that anyone, no matter how strong, can twist and snap someone else's neck stealthily, with about as much difficulty as opening a bottle of coke.

In related stupidity, always using a shot to the shoulder as a way of showing someone got injured but then acting like they're going to be operating at 100% like Duke Nukem or something with 1 hp. For one thing, there are three major arteries in that area. If something hits the brachial you'll bleed out in a matter of seconds. Even the other two, you'll bleed out pretty quickly.

So you have seconds to a minute or two before you're dead if you don't stop immediately and do something.

Second, it's an incredibly painful place to be hit. You're not going to be in any shape to do anything unless you're a roided out hippo on a heroic dose of PCP to the point you're a human pit bull.

And maybe you're a superhuman supersoldier and can return fire or something but you're not going to be crawling through air ducts for hours taking out dozens of bad guys, swinging from the trees like Tarzan, or all the other bullshit they have people shot in the shoulder do.

While we're on it, leg shots are not "non-lethal ways to disable an opponent", a leg shot is MORE likely to be fatal than a center mass shot for the same reasons as above.

Astroturfing something to hell and back or glazing the fuck out of it seems to be the norm these days. I still remember when that god-awful Twilight Zone reboot came out a few years back. People practically jacking themselves off over it screaming how it was the best thing ever! Even surpassing Rod Serling’s original and anyone who didn’t like it was just a racist chud.

Show lasted one season I think and then those same people were now proclaiming how much of a dumpster fire it was.

Fucking disingenuous faggots.

I'm assuming the people hyping up media like that are just secret marketers pretending to be regular people.
 
I've been going down this YouTube rabbit hole of Disney Channel cartoons, and I keep getting these ads for the new Snow White. Now, it's probably not targeted advertising, since I’m constantly bombarded with trailers for films I wouldn’t watch if you paid me. But, honestly, it’s just an annoying reminder of how tacky and out-of-touch Disney has become.

When people don't put their games/movies back in their proper cases. Or, when people just leave their discs just lying around. That RUINS the disc.

When you give 10 dollars to a cause you support only to see them waste hundreds trying to solicit more donations out of you.

University Alumni Associations are notorious for this. I get countless calls, emails, and letters begging me to donate to scholarship funds I have neither interest in nor ties to when I've made it clear I only donate to two specific scholarship funds in conjunction with their annual scholarship fundraising day. But they'd rather waste countless resources trying to get me to make donations that aren't going to happen. Small wonder fundraising budgets tend to be as bloated as they are.

Thread tax: Freeway drivers that think switching from the slow lane to a middle lane while driving the bare minimum speed limit is a good idea when traffic behind them is driving the full posted speed limit.

When some shit for brains asshole passes you at an insane speed, swerving around like a lunatic, when you're going 10 miles over the speed limit yourself, then immediately slows down to slower than you, then when you pass them, gets pissed off and starts road raging and veering into your lane so you have to go on the shoulder to get around them.

It should be legal to shoot these cocksuckers.

When you're talking shoulder area, do you mean actually the glenohumeral joint area or "shoulder" as it's often defined to mean the AC joint/clavicle/trapezius area? I'm not trying to be a pedantic dickhead, just the brachial artery is under the biceps closer to the elbow joint. A puncture/GSW to that part of the body is actually much easier to treat in the field because it's possible to get a tourniquet on that arm immediately and move the injured to next level care. A GSW that intersects the axillary or subclavian arteries? FAR more likely you're fucked even if the victim can get to a Level 1 trauma center in time, and that person's combat effectiveness will plummet immediately like you said.

Thread tax: realizing that most everything we're taught as teenagers and young adults in American society about how to live a good life is a fucking lie. It's either a staight up fabrication, wildly embellished, or ignored/glossed over (how credit works) so as to be basically a lie by omission.

I saw a nigger in my town today. I'm not throwing that term down gratuitously. This was a goddamn nigger.

Literally saggy pants, and had a pitbull. A fucking pitbull. Pure nigger behavior.

Where I live is as close to a sundown town as you can get. And this goddamn NIGGER not only went into town here, but acted like a PSA for why we should bring back lynching.

I'm glad I live somewhere that is almost completely white and I do not want NIGGERS with SHIT BULLS around here.

Just shoot the gun out of his hand, man, what are you, an amateur? This is literally the advice most retards give. How many times have you seen this bullshit?

In my neighborhood there was some gym faggot that would walk around with his shitbull without muzzle. One day he left the damn dog escape from his house. My mother, an elderly lady, was doing groceries when the fucking dog entered the grocery store and started trashing everything. She was terrified. I'm glad it was so busy trying to steal chickens that it didn't bother attacking any bystanders. Never saw the dog or the gym faggot again, i hope the dog mauled him.

Tax: it pisses me off the amount of people online assuming brazilians speak spanish
 
Companies that spend all their time on job boards or LinkedIn complaining about how they can't find anyone to hire, yet simultaneously having the most ridiculous requirements for their candidates, even if the role is something that almost anyone could get into with even a small amount of training. Newsflash - you'd have applicants to hire if you actually bothered to accept their applications in the first place!

On a related note, the boilerplate text companies use for application rejections. You didn't carefully consider my CV, you slapped it in front of an AI or had the unpaid intern click a button on a screen without bothering to read it at all. And, you certainly won't be 'keeping my CV under consideration' for future jobs, you just want my CV so you can mine my personal information for marketers to spam my inbox with stuff I have no interest in.
 
People who purposely raise their voices so you can hear their ever so shocking and insightful opinions. They're not activists. Just regular people who for some reason think they need to be heard by complete strangers in public. On the same note, people who take the bait and react to these idiots. I always wonder, "Was this really necessary?" They're certainly getting attention, but not in the way they're hoping for. They're not stalwart defenders of whatever cause they think they're representing. They're just sad little nobodies that want people's reactions.
 
My last late payment was in 2014. I started working on my credit in mid 2016. At that time, only your last 3 years of late payments counted towards your credit score and I was able to get my on time payment status up to 100% in mid 2017. I did make a call to the entity in early 2017 asking if they'd drop the compl;aint, as I had 2.5 years of on time payments and it would be greatly appreciated if I could get my status up to 100%, but my request (and that is all it was) was not obliged and I had to wait until late summer 2017 to get that to 100%. This took my credit from like 690 to 720 (I now have over 800 credit score). My credit score was only like 550 in July of 2016 and I was able to get it up to 720 by way of a secured card and no longer making late payments on my student loan (the last such late payment was in Aug of 2014).

I only learned recently that now they track SEVEN years of "on time" payments and a person who was in a similar situation to myself would have to work for just over 5 years, whereas I only had to work on my credit for just over one (I had been inadvertently working on my credit for about 2 years at that point, but that was by coincidence, not design. I was able to improve my credit 170 points in just over a year, but the landscape that made that possible was done away with some time since. I hate the fact that if someone was 30+ days late on a payment last month, it would take 7 years of good behavior rather than 3 years of good behavior to do a thorough credit repair. I find this excessive and punitive.
 
It's winter in Gaza...

Look, it's winter in the Bronx too, and I’m barely scraping by after payday. It’s not exactly a goldmine over here.

To be fair, at least they’re not those IFCJ scam commercials with the poor man's Mike Huckabee crying fake tears over an old woman sleeping on a stove. You couldn't find somebody a little bit more svelte to convince me to throw a dime your way?
 
These motherfuckers with names like "Yosmarydelacaridad" and I copied and pasted that because that was my store's delivery driver's name. Where and how the fuck do these kind of names come to fruition? It's practically babbling at that point. And I'm not kidding but one of my co-worker's name is 'Godgift'. God. Gift. Like he's god's gift? No, he's a shitty nigger who sucks at his job, he's not god's gift. I'm at a loss though with whatever babble-fuck's name is there that I mentioned earlier. Must be a dirty terroristic sand-nigger, it's got to be.
 
A&H posters. It's like an entirely different style of person uses those threads.

Additional gripe: people, usually of the older variety, who have everything on their phones on full blast volume all the time. Do you really need every key press to click so loud? Is it necessary that every single message play a notification sound if you're looking at the phone?

People moving to a leftist city in the south expecting it to be diverse and not full of rednecks, but act all surprised when it still has a lot of rednecks and isn’t very diverse. They’re like people who go to Target expecting no one there to be shady like at Walmart, only to get disappointed when Target is open to the general public and there’s still shady customers.
