People crying about Nintendo Online pricing. First off, it’s for an entire year, not by monthly, so I don’t know how that’s a negative. That’s just an example.
What are you honestly tired of people bitching about by this point?
Literally everything.
Half the posts I scroll past are just someone bitching about something. Few people posting about cool stuff, most people posting about rage this or rage that. Or if there is a post about something good, there’s people bitching in the comments how it’s not good enough.
Ugh. It’s like this place wants to be miserable and doesn’t know any other way to exist.
Complaining about bitching. Wow! Is that ironic or meta?
The Fediverse is just full of Carols (on the right/brown coat):
Clearly people aren’t complaining enough because everything is still going to shit idk.
Toilet paper orientation
Pineapple on pizza
The word “moist”
Basically the stupid shit that chronically online people hate because they’re told to.
Does anyone genuinely have a problem with pineapple on pizza? I could understand if it were hard to avoid, but I’ve only ever seen it on one specific flavour of pizza
You’d be surprised. Ive ordered Hawaiian pizza and had the chef come over to the table once he found out I was not a child.
He came over and gave me his life story about training in Italy as a pizza chef and that he hates Hawaiian pizza and thinks its an insult being on his menu but keeps it for children.
Like ok bro get your ass back to the kitchen why would you think I care. I’m here trying to enjoy an expensive meal and some wine. The pizza wasnt even that good so I can only assume he wasted 5 years of his life. $54 dollar pizza gets mogged by a $5 one from pizzahut.
If he feels that strongly about it, he should stop having it on the menu
Trump.
But only because I’ve lost sympathy with those people who keep saying “We need to get him out in November, blah blah blah”
Holy…fucking…denial, Batman! He’s not going away. He’s not joking about staying in 2028 and 2032. By all means vote in the midterms but be prepared for that vote to mean precisely jack shit.
Stop bitching and do something about it. Does it risk your livelihood and possibly your life when (not if) it comes to that? Yes. But you know who elses livelihood’s and lives were threatened? The founding fathers; they had the courage to do it anyway.
If American’s aren’t willing to stand up for fear of losing their precious conveniences, than fuck 'em. I’m at the point where they deserve what they get.
The founding fathers used others peoples lives mostly to enrich themselves. Their net worth was like 100 to 10,000x what is considered middle class now. They were the original 1%
Gotta love the big tough keyboard warriors here, shaming people for not literally ending their own lives in attempts to stop a cult that contains about 1/3 of the US population.
“We need a revolution and vigilante justice should be meted out on the billionaire class”
I am so tired of seeing this repeated endlessly everywhere by people with no intent to actually fucking do it. Yes everything is shit but you are not improving or changing anything with these empty platitudes.
These people also don’t seem to know their history very well when they’re using the French Revolution as an example.
Once the common enemy was defeated the revolutionaries realized that they no longer have the thing that united them so they turned on eachother next. Just like the US and USSR turned on eachother once the Nazies were defeated.
The French revolutionary government had moderate and radical factions that coexisted peacefully for many years. The terror wasn’t something that happened arbitrarily, it was an escalating conflict between radicals and (mostly) counter-revolutionaries acting in the interests the French burgeroise. During the course of the revolution, the government abolished an extremely oppressive system of feudalism, established universal rights for French citizens, established voting rights that would eventually lead to universal suffrage in France, and abolished slavery in the French colonies. That’s not to say it was all good (terror, wars, economic hardship, etc) but it completely transformed the entire country in a matter of years, from feudalism to a limited form of democracy, which resembles our modern democratic states much more closely than the system that had been created during the American Revolution.
If your take on the French Revolution is ‘they didn’t have a common enemy so they turned on eachother’ then I would say that it’s you who doesn’t know their history very well.
Where could I read more about this?
I learned this from a teaching company course named ‘Living the French Revolution and the Age of Napoleon’
Armchair Revolutionists are the worst kind of armchair types to confront online and anywhere.
Try asking them about the aftermath if this theoretical revolution were to be successful. They almost always don’t have one, because they do not think that far. They just think that if we go around destroying everything and killing off those involved, the world will be a better place. No we wouldn’t, not if we don’t have a process or a plan in how to go about it.
But that’s too big of a concept for them to think about, so they just stir idealistically in how things should be ran and those who don’t agree are just part of the problem. They’re honestly sounding like micro-dictator versions of themselves if you listen to them long enough, which is ironic in of itself.
Ugh yeah, also this.
I’ve encountered a truly depressing amount of self proclaimed ‘anarchists’ who’ve gone on and fucking on about how if they could just organise their own paramilitaries and forcibly take over the governments to impose ‘totally not fascist, we’re the good guys!’ mandatory regimes of wealth and resource redistribution on the public, they could really fix everything…
And the worst part is that I get it, I was also once a naive and optimistic teenager who read Marx and thought that if I could just explain things to people the right way they’d get it too, and we could fix everything wrong with the world together because most people were fundamentally good and would want to make the world better, if I could just get them to understand Marxist theory…
Lmao, it was fucking soul crushing realising that’s not actually how anything works.
At least back then I wasn’t on about paramilitaty takeovers and ‘anarchism’ though, like I get why more people are armchair revolutionary-ing to those extremes now but that’s just so much more fucking stupid than believing people are ‘mostly good and should read Marx’.
I try not to interract with these types of people any more, I just wish I could stop seeing them pop up so often.
They mix up cause and effect. They think the system is making people shitty, but it’s people making the system shitty.
Yes. Any system, ANY system that gets put in place will have to contend with human shittiness. The American Founding Father’s tried to split the power 3 ways tri-force style to try and prevent any serious abuses from happening, and yet they are still happening.
No matter what system you devise, these fucking sociopaths will never stop trying to break it for their own personal gain.
The weather. Its global warming, it is a real thing
Germany: public transport and healthcare.
You don’t know how good you have it, assholes. Stop voting for politicians who want to destroy both.
Windows. I get it, Windows sucks. I’ve been saying that since Vista. Fucking leave it already. “Oooh, I can’t. I play Frexus Dilectin 2: Rogue of the Latrine, and that has kernel level anticheat.” Well, sucks to suck. Quit bitchin and feel bad about your life decisions in the corner, quietly.
I use software for work that only runs on Windows. No software, no work. Nothing to do with games.
Do you work on software with graphics? Otherwise, you could probably virtualize or use a separate computer for work software. It’s just good practice to separate work from life anyways.
Most of the time we do not get to dictate the hardware, software and protocols of what’s used at work.
People bitching about Windows already use Linux…
That isn’t true in my experience.
While true, it doesn’t stop them from attempting to derail posts when Windows is talked about. They always have to come in and be smug about how they’re using Linux. Like, we get it, you feel all superior and mighty to have all of the time in the world to deal with a single Linux distro. But, some of us still using Windows have our reasons too and we’re not going around browbeating people into using Windows at a given chance, unless it is out of mockery.
Every tv show has the worst ending of any tv series ever
I once made a post asking what the worst tv finale was. I was surprised nobody mentioned Manifest
People complaining about people who are complaining about generative AI, especially if they refuse to acknowledge even a single bad thing about it.
There are good and acceptable uses of it, yes.
But with all the shit being pushed down our throats by Big Tech and its blind supporters, it’s no surprise everyone is vomiting.
(Hopefully someone posts “People complaining about people complaining about people complaining about generative AI” next :P)
People complaining about people complaining about people complaining about people complaining about people complaining about people complaining about people complaining about people complaining about people complaining until nobody remembers what the original complaint was
Family bitching about situations they create for themselves.
The U.S. as a generalized complaint about the country. I understand complaints about the current government, but condemning the country makes about as much sense as condemning all Israelis for the actions of their current government, or all Russians for the actions of theirs, or all Chinese for the actions of the CCP. People are so eager to hate on Americans, and they don’t realize they’re as human as the rest of us, their society as complex as any. Lemmy is rife with anti-American commentary. It’s sad.
There being no original movies. Original movies are released literally every week. I’m using the actual meaning of literally. I get that if you’re not looking it up, you won’t know about every movie being released. But if you care enough to complain, you should care enough to look it up. When you go to the theatre, instead of seeing the remake or sequel you’re bitching about being the only option, take a minute to look at what else is playing.
And when I point out original movies to people, they often say those movies are crap. Well then the problem isn’t that remakes and sequels are being made, it’s that movies in general aren’t to your liking. And yes, most original movies are in some way derivative of other movies. Sorry but all creative work is, in some way, derivative of other creative work, to expect otherwise is just unrealistic. You’re literally asking them to create something from nothing.
Also, how are we defining original? I git in a disagreement recently on Lemmy with someone objecting to my use of a movie adapted from a book as an example of an original movie. Different categories apply in different contexts. In the context of people complaining there are no original movies, I always took that to mean as opposed to remakes and sequels. If your standard is it can’t even be an adaptation, I find that ridiculously unreasonable.
But I have seen several original films recently that aren’t adaptations either. Hoppers, boy is that original. Pixar has never done an adaptation (but they have arguably done ripoffs of other movies). I’m seeing Breadwinner soon, I think that’s an original. I’m also pretty sure the upcoming End of Oak Street is original. Recently saw the Drama. I’m not 100% sure these aren’t adaptations or remakes. I bet some of the complainers have favourite movies they don’t even know are remakes
Everything you said, I have nothing to add about movies. Practically anything that wins an award is an original movie.
But I will add on with complaints about movie theaters. The price of popcorn? If you can get through a movie at home without popcorn, you don’t have to buy any at the theater! Crowded/noisy theaters? If you’re waiting for it to stream anyway, then you don’t have to watch it opening weekend because theaters have way lower turnout than pre-2020! Can’t pause it for a bathroom break? Alright, I can agree this is an issue with longer and longer movies and the compulsion to buy 64oz of soda, but listen, I’ve peed in so many movies and never missed any life-changing events.
But I guess it’s a cool bandwagon or something.
You can make movie theater popcorn at home, it’s really easy and cheap.
Buy some flavacol or “butter flavored fine grain salt” some people swear by the flavcol brand, but I don’t notice a difference. Then make your popcorn in an oil popper and sprinkle on the flavocol. You can also buy the butter oil now too that they use.
US-defaultism when the discussion is clearly and unambiguously about the U.S.
video game metas. i can’t share memes and strats and highlights about the games i play in their largest communities (on reddit) without having to wade through endless bitch threads about how the game has never been worse and everything needs to be nerfed (except what they like to play).
just more reason to stay away from reddit these days.
@OP any subscription for online play is too expensive
