I will go first.

I hate how so many people act like every kind of art or media is now derivative because someone else out of billions of people and thousands of years had a somewhat similar idea.

    Drivers who don’t stop for pedestrians - especially the ones who pretend to not see you as if it means they don’t have to stop at the stop sign.

    And people who don’t clean up after their dogs. It’s worse in the winter time when it’s already difficult enough to navigate the city.

      What are the Honda Dax 125 or the BMW Gold Wing w/DCT then?

      I think this pedantry is rooted in fragile masculinity.

      Also, kilts are skirts.

    People who modify their cars to be obnoxiously loud. Makes me wish they’d get sand in their engines and grind their gears down.

      I have a neighbor right now that has an obnoxious exhaust on his ridiculous looking lifted truck. For some inexplicable reason he goes out almost every night at midnight and redlines the fucking motor for a minute or so. On New Years Eve he redlined the damned thing for over 5 minutes straight. It kept hitting the rev limiter and cutting off then turning back on. I was praying the thing would blow up. It’s so damned obnoxious. I don’t know what he’s compensating for, but stop taking it out on the environment and sleeping children.

      I used to live behind a gas station in a town where people loved to drive those cars…

      I wish hell was real because there would be a special place there for the types of assholes that would roll up at two fucking AM with their subwoofers BLASTING shaking my windows and their stupid-ass exhaust trying to make their shitbox sound special.

    People who don’t care to learn, but want to have an opinion. Doesn’t matter the topic, sports, movies, business, politics, science, every asshole wants you to listen to their half-brained, malformed thought prions, and then insist that it’s disrespectful to point out flaws in their “reasoning.” I don’t mind people being disengaged. It’s a big world, and nobody is an expert in everything. But respect is earned, and being an expert entitles you to an opinion. Everyone else should shut the fuck up.

      No Investigation, No Right to Speak

      Unless you have investigated a problem, you will be deprived of the right to speak on it. Isn’t that too harsh? Not in the least. When you have not probed into a problem, into the present facts and its past history, and know nothing of its essentials, whatever you say about it will undoubtedly be nonsense. Talking nonsense solves no problems, as everyone knows, so why is it unjust to deprive you of the right to speak? Quite a few comrades always keep their eyes shut and talk nonsense, and for a Communist that is disgraceful. How can a Communist keep his eyes shut and talk nonsense?

      It won’ t do!

      It won’t do!

      You must investigate!

      You must not talk nonsense!

    People who don’t know how to admit they’re wrong. I have opinions about literally everything, but I am always open to learning more about any topic and changing my opinion.

    The lack of accountability all the way down the chain. I’m not talking about the elites. I’m not talking about organizations and going after the low man on the totem pole. I’m talking about everyday interactions that should lead to consequences not having consequences.

    for me the issue isn’t that the ideas are similar, the issue is from a lack of depth. when you boil every character down to the bare-bones of fulfilling their function in the story, with no other humanity to them, then every film with a similar plot will feel the same.
