Welcome to Pet Peeves, where the little things that annoy you are welcome.
Ever notice the thousands of posts and comments out there that just grind your gears? You always want to say something about how much whatever it is sucks, and you hate it. But, then you're going off topic and get people mad at you.
Well, don't do that. Come here instead! Tell us about your pet peeve!
Rules are simple
1: Do not link to comments or posts elsewhere. This ain't power tripping bastards, we aren't here to judge users or mods, we're here to vent a little spleen about the minor annoyances of life.
2: IF screen shots are used, they must have any and all user names obscured fully, and any community names as well. Like already said, this isn't about going after anyone or anywhere in specific, it's about us having a peeve.
3: Wheaton's law is in effect. Don't be a dick. It ain't cool, and it won't be allowed to stay up. Fair warning ahead of time, mods make the call as to what is and isn't dickish. Complaining about it won't get you anywhere. If it's a misunderstanding, so be it, but the dickish comment will still be gone because if one person reads it as dickish, more probably would too. So go back and rewrite whatever it was.
4: If it isn't obvious, bigotry is inherently dickish. Doesn't matter if it's blatant or dog whistles, don't do it, you'll get immediately banned.
5: Cursing is absolutely allowed, but not cursing at people. Motherfuckers may well be annoying, but when you specify an individual as a motherfucker, that's not likely to end in a friendly way. You dig, motherfuckers?
Post guidelines
Try to remember that any pet peeve you have is likely something other beings do with no ill intent. So try to keep it about you, not them. Explain why it annoys you, rather than just ranting about other people, there's already communities for that kind of thing.
Example: Turn signals being left on. Annoying as hell, because now you don't know if they're really signaling to turn, if it's something they didn't know they did, etc, so now you have to pay extra attention instead of focusing on your own driving and navigation.
Don't just complain about how stupid the people must be, how inconsiderate. Keep the focus on the inconvenience itself.
Feel free to refer folks here when they go off topic about their peeves, that's part of why we're here :)
brainwashing will do that.. these people watch only faux news and if you tell a lie often enough it becomes fact in their minds
this isnt a position they used logic to obtain so you cant throw logic at them to change their minds. its a visceral, emotional state that will take generations to undo...assuming of course we can somehow stop the flow
Even with brainwashing, I'm struggling to understand how they can deny a movie objectively being a financial success. It's one thing to argue that a movie sucks, that's their opinion, but to straight up lie and say it financially failed when it didn't....
youre dipping back into the logic bucket
their brains will perform backflips to not disrupt their emotionally obtained beliefs. imagine all the people stuck in 'objectively' abusive relationships.. they go far out of their way to justify that illogical position.
