Don't Hate The Hater, Hate The Hate! - - - - Part 16

[Matt Mortem]

I hate that I'm too broke to leave my apartment.

 

[ComicChick]

I hate that a certain person bought the first season of Leverage on a particular website, and it's still out of stock during one of their regular sales. Damn this person. Damn them to the depths of Hades!

figures you'd post this about me when i'm out of town without internet connection!

Anita Sarkeesian's podcasts.

She may have points, but she totally disregards exceptions to her points, uses straw man argument to back up her data and disables comments on her youtube page under the guise of avoiding "threats".

I hate when people start countdowns for their birthday as though its supposed to be some great event. I mean I can understand big milestones like 18, 21, 30 etc. But it really annoys me when someone says "Hey, my 23rd birthday is in exactly 47 days. Let's get it started!"

I second this



I hate the "hands free whopper". The last thing I want to see is people walking around with a burger strapped to their face.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

"Hands free whopper".... Because using forearm muscles to lift the burger to your fat face burns way too many calories for the man endeavoring to become morbidly obese. Jesus, everyone's going to look like the fat wheelchair-bound slugs from Wall-E soon enough.

 

[Anita18]

Do I dare ask what a "hands-free Whopper" is?

 

[PyroChamber]

I hate how containers of whey protein are always half full.

I also hate how the weather's been for the past couple of weeks.

I just had to google this & to my surprise.....it's a stupid gimmick or device to hold a burger in place. are people so far gone to actually use this???!!

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I hate pressing on "Add yourself to your contacts" when I intend to see my previous posts to see what threads have new replies

 

[E-Man]

I have a hands-free face palm for the hands-free whopper.

 

[PyroChamber]

I hate that the one manager at my job that I actually like is leaving.

They did a commercial. So far these have only been passed out as part of a special promotion in Puerto Rico. I can only pray it doesn't catch on.

I don't see how people are surprised by the "hands-free Whopper." One of the downsides of technology is that in its attempt to make things easier, it also teaches us to lose, or not exercise skills that should be basic. I remember seeing a Drive-thru ATM and thinking "Wow, we're really trying to be as lazy as we can."

One of my high school teachers used to always say evolution would lead us to have one eye ( like a cyclops) and misshaped butts because of our fascination with computers. It didn't sound too far fetched thirteen years ago. I'm still hoping for a pill that will encapsulate a three course meal.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

Ya know what I hate? People.

 

[Matt Mortem]

I hate my upstairs neighbors compulsive need to vacuum every two hours. I should hit him in the face with a brick.

I'm starting to have a disdain for certain "technological advancements." Maybe its because I like to consider myself to be old-fashioned, but I feel like, as is the case with just about everything, that there have been things that were created for good purposes but eventually fell into the wrong hands and have been used to do more harm than we think. For example, I heard someone say recently that the more connected technology has made us, the more disconnected we have become, and I really buy into this because we've gotten past the point where we rely on things like phones and computers to do everything for us. Sure it makes life easier, but it also makes us lose lessons in discipline and patience, which are great qualities to have.

I'm kind of getting annoyed with the way people are using their cell phones. Florida just passed a law against texting while driving. We've become very reliant on these devices and I can see how it could become very detrimental to social interaction. I like the convenience , but it's not good if we never learn to figure stuff out on our own. Hopefully we don't dumb down enough to be overtaken by machines.

Yeah, I had a professor who would always tell me he never got a cell phone because he wants to make sure he exercises his memory every day. Nowadays, no one know anyone's phone number, and if you lose your cell phone, you're basically screwed. I also heard this great comedy bit about how cell phones today are the equivalent of people from the Stone Age carrying a rock everywhere they go, just because of how people walk around and go straight to their phones whenever they feel like they're in an awkward situation.

I feel like I'm part of the last generation that knows what its like to live without all of this instant access, and while it can definitely be helpful and convenient at times, I still kinda wish that we could go back to the old days with certain things.

i still have numbers memorized

where i live, if you're in an accident and texting, it's an automatic felony

It's all about how you use it. I'm making a career change, and using resources from online meetups and Twitter and blogs and ALL these amazing things that would not be available if not for the newest technologies. I've met some really awesome people, and kept in touch with faraway friends.

But even I think Google Glass is going too far. I have trouble getting away from the internet when it's easily separated from me, don't attach it to my face! It's only enabling me!

The rock comparison is true. I've seen that happen at clubs , work , and have done it a few times myself. I've always been afraid of what not using my brain could lead to. It seems like I have a harder time remembering things , but I can still recall some of my old phone numbers. Now I see six year old kids with a cell phone and it's kind of disturbing to me. It has some merit for bad situations , but it's not a fail safe device.

 

[Ultimatehero]

I hate everyone who complains.

Jk.

Argh, now this really pisses me off. Like you said, it can be useful in an emergency situation. But with the way that kids have been these days, its bad because it seems like they're growing up faster and are doing things at younger ages that they shouldn't be doing. I have an 8-year old niece who has her own kindle and iPad and she's watching mature shows on Netflix and, despite the fact that she still sucks her thumbs, she tries to act and dress like she's a teenager. It really gets me upset because parents are not doing a good job at teaching their children the qualities that they're going to need when they become an adult. Not to mention you have all these young kids on Facebook now, and things like cyber-bullying and suicides have been on the rise because of this.

And if you want to hear the whole rock = cell phone bit, here's the clip. It's from an old podcast called the Gamespy Debriefings. It has foul language, so here's just the link. It perfectly sums up how I feel about social technology.
