Pet Peeves!

[eagle5953]

I hate spam on this website! Grr.

[jjhammerstein]

I worded my hate badly. I don't hate spiritual people, but religion has done more bad things to our society than anything else. It has taught us to have someone else to judge hard questions for us before we even ask ourselves. No one should have the power to dictate moral values.

You know what, I thought we weren't even aloud to have religious discussions just because this is what happens: one big honkin' female of the dog species fight. Just let it go. You shouldn't post it here, even if it angers you.

Now for what I hate:
1) Noobs who know nothing
2) Noobs who try to sound smart
3) Noobs who ask questions about things that have been previously established

Let me qualify my statements by saying:
I don't hate noobs, because some of them eventually turn into great modders. If there were no noobs, there would be no new ideas. I just hate how the majority of them do no research before asking a question.

I also hate people who cannot spell or have terrible grammar. Especially when they are asking questions, because usually I cannot understand what they are saying. Even on forums, people should at least try to organize their thoughts.

I hate....shovelware.

[64M320N3]

Well, I hate copycats. (Not referring to you SS)
I hate shovelware, too though. I'm a copycat.

Commercials. They're totally idiotic 90% of the time.

Perhaps, but do you have ANY idea how much you would need to pay for things if there were no commercials? Google is free to us because of advertising. Magazines and newspapers are next-to-free because of the ads they carry inside. This website, even, is free to us because of the ads. Now think about the cost of a TV show, from production, crew salaries, etc. Think about how much money goes in to getting that on your screen. Personally, I love advertising. Not because I enjoy it, but because I'd certainly enjoy things less without it.

People who listen to their music with one earbud even when alone.

I do that all the time. It's not that I like the decline in quality, or the sound of mono. I do it because I like to listen to music as background noise. I like one ear alert in case someone's talking to me, or something is happening around me. Two earbuds + quiet music just isn't the same.

I hate people who hate people

Paradox?

You.

I realize commercials and ads are necessary to keep things free, Kurt_, but that doesn't mean they all need to be poorly-written and condescending.

On that note, commercials on cable. You're paying for your TV, so why are there ads? Seriously, with all the ads they include in those shows, they should be free. Now satellite radio has things right. You pay for it, sure, but there are no commercials. That's how cable/satellite/whatever should be.

Related to this, magazines you pay good money for that are 50% ads. Same argument as above.

[Kurt_]

Those magazines are also ungodly thick. And you'd be paying a HELL of a lot more for TV without ads.
