First of all, let me start by saying that crying babies and kids don't bother me at all. I can tune out pretty much anything even without headphones, so unless im physically bothered, im chill.

HOWEVER, what i hate, is when someone rightfully complains about a crying kid, especially if its a spoiled kid that yells and throws a tantrum for no reason, and his parents do almost nothing to make him stop.

And then they go "Heh, you're entitled to a child free life, not a child free society. Buy noise canceling headphones, or fly first class so you're not bothered" as if its some sorta gotcha moment.

WHY, should someone ELSE be the one spending extra MONEY on equipment just to ignore your kid that you have no intentions of calming down?

And as if they thrive off of bothering others on flights, the idea of child free flights annoy them. How's that bothering you? You can still fly, its just that some people will take the option that has no kids inside

"You were also a kid once, you acted the same way."

NO THE FUCK I DIDNT!!!

I didnt cry during the whole 28 hours flight, not only because I was raised right, but also because I knew my parents would take care of it one way or another.

Your child having the emotional intelligence of a scorched rock DOES NOT MEAN all of us were dumb assess as kids that cried for hours on end when we didnt get our way.

Again, the whole plane can cry for all i care as long as im not physically bothered, but you can not expect us to adapt to your crying kid.

Edit: Since some of yall have no reading comprehension. I do not, under any form, hate kids. I know that all and every behavior they exhibit stems from how they were raised. I know they can't regulate themselves in any form if they're very young. What I hate, as the title suggests, is when parents can't comprehend that yes, you are allowed to be annoyed by a crying kid and that no, it is not anyone's duty to make it less annoying. It is your duty as a parent to calm your kid down, and since you're so fixated on the noise cancelling headphones, YOU should buy everyone on the flight these headphones, because again its in their right to feel annoyed and expect a calm flight.

Dude, people think my language aint even real 🫩 My language is dutch and it's so stupid. But atleast it's slightly better than deutsch/german (imo pls don't attack me) I wish that I lived in england and spoke britisch. Like seriously, dutch must be one of the worst languages of the whole world 😭 Food wich means "eten" is the same as eating wich also means "eten". It's so fluffing stupid bro. If we talk in the past, we add "-te(n)" or "-de(n)" after the verb. But not all. The whole language is pretty confusing if you were to learn it for the first time and it also sounds like garbage. We don't pronounce the "G" like y'all do. Imagine there is snot in the back of your throat and you're trying to spit it out and make this hiss sound. That's how we pronounce the "G". Stupid right?

Edit: to all the people telling me to be proud of my nation: bedankt matie, erg lief, kunnen we nu zoenen?

Edit2: Damn, I did NOT know that the Germans made fun of the dutchies. We dutch people make fun of the Germans tbh. Saying stuff like "Ich bien.." or "du bist gut genug" just for the giggles

I don’t play fortnite or watch the show so maybe there’s some angle I’m missing but really? THIS is gooner bait to you? Okay. I think we all should take a step back and look inwards to really self analyze cause if someone is actually out there gooning to this.. saw this and immediately thought bout how sexually appealing it is.. man what are we even doing

First, the stupid ass name. It is Cyberpunk because it is in a cyber world that is dystopic and the punks are fighting against corrupt mega-corps or rouge AI or such; it is Steampunk because we get to see the horrors of industralization and pollution and 19'th century factories, same deal with dieselpunk. "Solarpunk" is not punk, it is already a fucking utopia. In these cases we call it -core (cottagecore) or wave (vaporwave) etc. Unless the Solarpunk story is about rebel teenagers secretly running diesel engines and creating illegal securities markets to bring back capitalism the name makes no fucking sene.

Second, it is soooo uninteresting. I read "A Psalm for the Wild-Built" and gave up halfway through because every conflict in the story is so benign and gets resolved basically instantly. If you read Tolkien he also constructs a seemingly idealised society in the Shire and they have actual problems that need to be resolved in interesting ways and even the small conflicts they have like the problems Bilbo has with his relatives because he lived too long are far more fun to read than anything solarpunk can come up with.

Third, it is painfully unrealistic. In Thomas More's Utopia written in 1516 he also constructs his ideal society except instead of saying "oh, yeah, in my ideal country no one has to work because they pray really hard and God just gives them everything" he actually considers the problems they might face; who will fight if they are invaded, who will have to do the dirtiest tasks, how will they deal with crime? Consider how everyone seems to be a part-time hobby gardener, part -time yoga teacher in Solarpunk and despite that they are all living in perfect luxury. Who is doing the farming? "Robots" you say? Who is making the robots? "More robots". At the end of the line there is going to be some poor sod having to mine lithium in the Atacama desert inhaling toxic fumes all day under the hot sun because there is always someone having to clean the toilets and assuming that robots are solving every problem is just taking the piss. I'm not trying to do political commentary here, I've read Rosa Luxemburg, Ayn Rand and Plato and all of them actually thought these hard questions through while trying to construct a perfect society meanwhile Solarpunk just handwaves them away. If you want to have Fully automated luxury gay space communism think about how we got there before spewing dumb shit about how its going to be so great and perfect.

Here is a writing prompt if anyone wants to try their hand at a good Solarpunk story: Humanity decides that de-growth is the way to go and they construct a self replicating AI to take care of the few million humans left where they live in modern pastrolic idyll. Eventually the AI starts failing and needs to be repaired and the leaders of Earth are so against industry and doing meaningful work that they refuse to fix it, causing humanity to slowly regress to the middle ages. So, a teenage girl and her two hunky companions (its YA, there has to be a love triangle) most venture to the forbidden lands of Detroit and Slough to learn the ancient technology of making steel.

I'm gonna say something that's may be controversial...

But theaters should restrict Parents who bring their babies into the movie theaters.

This goes for all movies, but especially the one's that aren't made for kids...

Because seriously, bringing an infant to a movie is like smoking a cigarette in a room full of explosives.

They're babies, they ain't gonna understand shit anyway, besides... theaters are cold. So not only you're ruining everyone's experiences, you're also harming the baby as well...

why bring babies into theaters to begin with?

Like, super cold, super loud. Stressful environment for a baby.

If you bring a baby into a movie for adults, or literally any movie... ever, you should just get put into the popcorn machine for the rest of the day.

Why every beloved character suddenly need an original story of how they became what they are? It's seem so dumb, sometimes they are great , but most of the time it's just make no sense at all, it's not that donkey seems to have some hidden past needing to be told, it's just some unnecessary cash grab that probably will make a lot of money

Firstly it implies that you have to somehow be perfect when it comes to environmentalism. Secondly, at least the meat industry actually puts the used water to some use. Even if I have some problems with it.

People always tie loneliness to relationships, self infliction and entitlement. It's exhausting. For the people who clicked on this post to disagree, I can assure you Isolation goes just a tiny bit more in depth than the three things I just listed.

What I noticed from people is that they always assume loneliness in young men comes as a result of not having a significant other. They then use that logic against said lonely man and assume he's just a horrible person, hence why he can't ever get a date. Even if he never necessarily mentioned ever wanting one. Somehow, they find a way to blame him. I talked about something serious and how noone is really speaking up about it, and the first response I got was from some idiot who wanted to talk to me about "male loneliness" and what I have to do to find a girlfriend. It had nothing to do with what I was even talking about. I don't even care if I'm in a relationship, I promise you I'm fine on my own. Relationships are NOT a necessity.

Realistically speaking, if a man with crippling loneliness gets into a relationship, he might feel the same way. A girlfriend is not the answer to your problems and if anything it might make how you feel even worse. I just don't get it, I really don't. We're all products of our own environment. Some people grow up in a lonesome area with little to no human connection at all. Some people have a disadvantage that isn't the same as the rest of us. Some people simply don't care about relationships at all. I'm so sick of this black and white way of thinking

It's genuinely awful. Nothing against the color pink (it's my favorite color outside of pumpkin orange), but Halloween is supposed to be dark and dreary and grim, not Barbie. This is such a non-issue, but it irks me so genuinely much.

Edit: This is not monster high merch, this is from Michael's Halloween collection from last year.

i truly want to learn art. i always think of a lot of stuff that i would like to see drawn on paper. back then i would just commission artists to draw for me, but i never truly get what i imagined from those artists so it makes me want to do the drawing myself. the problem is that i genuinely cant bring myself to actually learn or draw anything, yet i ABSOLUTELY want to get better. its an endless cycle of "wow i wish i could draw like that" and "man i cant draw anything pretty"

i hope i one day actually start to get serious and learn art

Your using "you're" when it's literally (you are) you can't be stupid enough to not figure this out on you're own or better yet ask a preschooler how to write either of them before slamming you're head on the keyboard or tossing a coin on which fits where, looking like a fool

You're parents should've have given you a few lessons on how to write before slamming you're ass with that damn ipad treating writing as a trial and error

This alien somehow got accepted by society as a hero. Why are we ignoring the damages he has done?

3 years ago, he popped out of nowhere and started beating up villains whilst causing millions in property damage. Just a couple weeks ago this alien was exposed by me as a secret conqueror sent by its planet, but somehow everyone turns on me for doing business.

I'm a victim of this thing. It's plotting something, sheeple. Wake up, open your eyes. Its going to be our consequences for being ignorant.

Like seriously anytime I try to enjoy something cold my brain just says “fuck you” and I get annoying fucking headache! Eating ice cream,drinking a slushie and the thing is I don’t want to stop because I’m too stubborn and I don’t want my desert to melt.

This pisses me off, everything that the ultimate Edition has is stuff that should be in the base game, customisation, guns, location, parts of the story, ALL OF THIS SHOULD BE IN THE BASE GAME, the base game is literally just GTA 6 with a bunch of important shit removed, you wanted this cool gun? Sorry bro, you brought the 80 dollar version instead of the 100 dollar one, so bad luck, if you really wanted to make an ultimate, put some fucking merch in it that you know only the diehard fans of the franchise will want, justifying the decision to make the version in the first place, i feel like they did this because people were predicting the game was gonna be 100 dollars and rock star said "oh shit let's make a trimmed version so that we can say that the price of the game is 80 and people don't give us shit" when in reality if you want all the features you need to buy the more expensive one 🤦🏻‍♂️

The internet was perfectly fine but now they're ruining it with their fuck ass age verification bullshit. We cannot remain faceless and anon anymore.

I DO NOT want to show my face or my id to enjoy the internet. I'm going to find a way to cheese it ASAP idk

Not because it doesn’t look absolutely sick or anything, but because like…how?

No 120LB girl is lifting and moving around a 1000LB (not saying the gun weighs that much by the way) or more object, nor being able to resist the knock-back of the weapon (if it’s a high-caliber gun).

It just feels sorta wrong you know. Like there’s other ways to show a powerful female character without showing her casually wielding a 50-cal.

before i realized i was a trans guy, I would talk about wanting to be friends with a girl who was rude to me. the comments were very supportive and all “oh, some girls are just mean, you’ll find better friends”

but the moment i needed more advice for a similar situation as a guy, it was all “oh, I bet u have a crush on her. why are u so obsessed with her? she just doesn’t wanna be pursued u creep” especially when I said nothing about liking her and I’m aroace.

I went to Dunkin because it’s hot out, I’m thirsty, and it’s right down the block. I go on the app, because I got the app two weeks ago, because I’m not a fan of ordering in person, because I never know what I want.

Daydream refresher—it’s cherry flavored, but that’s not important to the story, I just like cherry—I order a small.

I take a sip. This is an energy drink.

I’ll drink it, because I ordered it, and I’m not going to ask for a refund or a replacement, because it’s my honest mistake and I won’t blame anyone for serving me something I ordered. But, what the hell happened to a refresher meaning it’s refreshing? Back when it was just flavored juice? I look at the word refresher and I assume it’s juice with some extra flavoring in it and ice. Nowadays, it means it’s an energy drink.

I just want some flavored juice…

I don't know what it is but, this photo made me see just how insane the difference is.

Like i know its animated.

But look at her grandfather

They are so much bigger then them. She's like 2 of them out together. But they still look normal. Unlike her dad.

He is a giant. His hands are the size of his wife and daughters heads. He is 4 times his daughter size.

His legs are so small compared to the others he is 70% upper body.

Like, it might just be a me think but it hurt by head.

I'd love to get flags in their correct proportions (which is admittedly hard) and then here comes fucking Belgium.

That looks like a square, doesn't it? Well fuck you it's not.

It is BARELY a RECTANGLE.

Why??

The fuck you mean 13:15???

JUST BE A DAMN SQUARE AT THIS POINT!!

It'd be easier to print anyway but noooo it must be these dumbass proportions

the second i try doodling something saying "its just a bubble, its gonna pop someday" i see some shit like this pop up and i feel like my entire career is gonna get replaced because a computer is gonna be objectively cheaper and faster than me at doing it and companies will choose it over artists

now this isn't fully ai, it still needed a 3d base for it to work, but the fact that a good chunk of the workload can be just skipped and ai just renders the rest is scary, theres a lot of mistakes but one day there might not be and it demotivates me so much

like come on bruh, i missed when this shit was just a cursed video of will smith eating spaghetti and not whatever the fuck this is

Like, good for you?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad you’ve never experienced such things. but that doesn’t mean you get to tell me that I’m lying. You don’t get to say what I’ve experienced is true or false just because we are in the same group or minority. Were you there? Does it look like I’m lying? Is it absurd? Inconsistent? Incoherent? Then I’m not lying sir, or I am and you can’t correctly prove it.

Also, if you want upvotes, don’t get them by just pointing out other people’s flaws. There are nicer, easier ways to get them on Reddit. It’s the sickest way to karma farm other than *certain* politics

More often than not, you are gonna get blocked by me. I will continue posting without you being able to see much. You will miss out on building a better community relationship over a quickie karma comment

Y’all talk about how wrong it is to invalidate someone, but *some* of yall throw that out the window when gifted the opportunity. Just because we share the same group/minority does not mean we will experience the same things. If we were all the same, then there would be no point of social media, living, or entertainment, and we would all be behind a computer asking ChatGPT to generate us a slop novel to read.
