Things That Annoy Me, But Shouldn't

Can't be bad as the ones that scream into the mic like a 12 year old girl at a Justin Beiber/more relevant reference concert while playing video games poorly.

ETA: More Relevant Reference is now my band name. I called it.

 

Yes... I mean no. I mean they're annoying too, yes.

 

The Uganda Knuckles meme. I know it’s silly, I know I can freely ignore it, but his face is damned near everywhere going, “Do you know de wei? You don’t know de wei. I spit at you, fake kween!” At least the meme of the bear-guy going, “Someone toucha mah spaghet!!” has some historical context as it’s a snippet from an old Looney Tunes skit from the 1930s.

 

Video is really annoying, kinda like an advert. Also has a punch-able face
to go with the grating vocalization, and jump cuts every 1-3 seconds is
ridiculous.

@Thread
Jury selection is gonna be boring. Obviously they think they are guilty, and
they will ruin the persons ability to function in society since our system does
not rehabilitate them. Yay for broken systems that make more problems than
they fix.

 

The media's drive to promote 'healthy living'.

How about you fuck off? I'll eat whatever the hell I like, when I like, and I shall continue to do zero exercise. And if this results in a premature death, that's my business. Living is grossly overrated anyway.

 

The fact that, even after Googling 'uganda knuckles'', I still have no idea at all what it is.

 

Weather girls with enormous arm muscles.

In fact, all gym muscularity is kind of vile, the white collar gobblers with their swollen limbs and shiny teeth - and the 90 year old body-builder who markets that whey or dick powder on YouTube, he’s annoying. I’m sorry I m overcome in irritance, ‘nurse...nurse, my medication....euhff..euhff...inhaler, my benson & hedges...’

 

But then you wouldn't be able to post, what with your monitor destroyed...

 

Oh, you're just jealous. Muscles are generally sexy. That's why all the great poets throughout history have sung the praises of muscles. Shakespeare, Milton, Dante, Virgil, Bob Dylan, and even Ewan McTeagle made muscles the main theme of their greatest works. Or not. Whatever. Maybe they wrote primarily about beer and football. Or maybe just beer.

 

That cover for Creamed in the Butt by my Handsome Living Corn is one of the most bizarre things I've seen since, oh, Nov. 12, 2016. That said, a Gay T-Rex Law Firm is just one of those things, you know?

 

It's actually a pretty accurate portrayal of the modern legal system. I'm sure in the future scholars will shun the John Grishams and Kate Wilhelms as peddlers of pure fantasy and look at this book as the one true representation of what justice was like in our time.

 

Since we are discussing M/M Romance, there is one with my
name on it. (I feel like a twig).

 

Well, as an ex-Yank, I can assure you, 'cup' is an actual amount. Two cups equal a pint. Two pints equal a quart, etc. People who cook with 'cups' ...like me ...have a set of measuring 'cups,' which are in pre-measured sizes.

I can assure you, in most cases, cooking with 'cups' is easier and faster than weighing everything. A cup of flour, a cup of sugar, etc. You just scoop 'em up. The only time this doesn't work so well is when it's something like butter or some other solid fat that has to be smushed into the cup (or melted) to get the amount just right. When it comes to liquids or things like flour, sugar, or other granular substances, give me a 'cup' any day! I still use them, even here in Scotland. We also have a scale, but nope. I still use my good old 'cup.' It's the same principle as tablespoon and teaspoon. These are standard measures.

 

Well, no. Actually a 'cup' is a measurement standard. Like 'pint,' 'quart', 'tablespoon, 'teaspoon,' etc. It's just that people who are unfamiliar with the system think it means 'grab any old cup.' Coffee cup, teacup, etc. Nope. Any more than you'll have any old quart, pint, gallon or whatever.

 

My post disappeared, I must have pressed some button. I was re-buffing @minstrel's weakling argument.

My point is that there's no way to replicate the musculature of hard work, exertion over years - with the gym exercise regime, being pumped [or swollen] - which is not 'aesthetically' attractive - my example being Daniel Craig in his underpants and boobies, recreating that Dr No scene. Anyway, I'm not so eloquent this time.

And it looks unrealistic - in cinema especially.

 

I'm going to exercise my right to disagree with you in that.
Also, counter argument:

Spoiler: For size

I do agree, though, that there is a point where a person stops looking like a person and starts looking like a balloon animal, but that has more to do with genetics, diet, frequency, and intensity, than where and how that stress was applied to the muscles.

 

I'd counter - that also is a less than appealing image - in that it is a projection of vanity and narcissism. It's modern, I suppose, feminine?

Shut up mat

 

Spoiler: But..

Also, Bradley Cooper was pretty much what I used to look like when I was like, 25. No gyms, only moderate narcissism, and a craic load of farm work growing up. Though my abs weren't quite so well defined.

 

Yes, well you're very beautiful.

I was more funny-looking - asymmetric - then in my 20s developed this surfing - disease. I became monstrous, shoulders like a house, took me years to fill the space behind the eyes, walk the walk. Then in my 40s developed writer ass.

 

Was, but thank you. Going from burning 5000 calories a day to school and desk jobs hasn't done much for my figure.

 

Man up - it's the new way - apparently. I saw that clinical psychologist on TV, still processing.

 

ya.

Haven't been out the house since, really. Getting my affairs in order, posting the manuscript, flight to Zurich.
