I need to get to 10k posts so here's a fun thread, which I can use to also inflate my post count.

I'll start:

Newspaper headlines.

I don't know about other countries, but in Finland at least the headlines of our two major newspapers are really god damn stupid every day. I play a game with my friend who can spot the dumbest one each day.

They're usually just out-of-context taken quotes or deliberately provokingly worded pieces of news, which get the potential buyer curious only to disappoint them later as they read the article and realize that the actual piece of news was not relevant or interesting at all.

Here's some translated examples off the top of my head:

"Soon Everyone Will Have Cancer!"
"Russia to Invade Finland!" Says Russia expert
"Patient Died, Doctor Got a Remark" (Such news, wow)
"ARE WE RACISTS?"
"Will [Name of new Finnish nuclear power plant in construction] Be the Next Tsernobyl?"

It's so dumb.

Yearly Video Game Sequels.

They suck. Fuck Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed. It's not even funny anymore. I'm not even mad at the companies making the games, because that's exactly what I'd do. If the game sells millions every year, why take a risk with something new when you can just print money with the same old game year to year?

No I'm more mad at the people who go and buy the games every year and support that shit. They go along with the game companies' jokers and are somehow excited for it every year. AND EVEN PAY FOR MAP PACK DLCS DURING THE 12-MONTH LIFESPAN OF THE GAME. WTFFFFFF?!?

And while we're on the topic: Fuck EA and what they did to my favorite childhood franchise.

They ruined the Command & Conquer series with C&C4. I was so excited for the game when it came out, but it was one of the worst things ever. I could talk hours about how they ruined the classic C&C-defining base-building gameplay or about how the story ruined Kane's character.

Kane was so fucking cool and my childhood hero. Now he just sucks.

This is what happens when EA tells the development team that they need to finish the game by a set date after which they will be fired. I bet they had so much motivation to make the game the best they could.

FUCK EA

60€ PC games.

Fuck companies trying to pull this prank with new releases. I stopped buying console games because of this shit and now it's started happening on PC.

YouTube recommendations.

They're cool and all, but if I click on one Flat-Earth Society video to laugh at the comments, I conspiracy theory videos for days in my recommendations.

People blaming their team for losing in a competitive match-making game in Dota 2 or CSGO.

If the player in question is the best player in the team, then fair enough, he's probably right. But most often these players also contribute to us losing. Get your head out of your own asshole and start playing properly instead of crying. Whining isn't going to help you win the game.

The most infuriating thing is when they start saying stuff like "This team" in all chat to the other team. As if they're distancing themselves from our team and trying to side with the enemy team to prove that they're not a bad player even though he/she's losing.

That shit makes me mad every time and I will never understand someone who starts talking shit to the enemy team.

Facebook messenger app.

This is just ridiculous. I was happy using the regular facebook app on my Samsung S4 phone to chat on facebook, but then they made the separate app for messaging people. Why? Sure it has more features or something, but what if I don't need more features but want to keep it easy and simple?

So for a year I kept answering "No I don't wany the new app" in the chat tab of the regular facebook app until they disabled it entirely. This made me so mad that I vowed to never get the fucking app so I've been logging onto facebook with chrome every time I need to check my messages on my phone. This has caused problems during situations when I need to be able to answer messages quickly after receiving them as I don't get a notification upon receiving messages when using chrome.

The worst thing about this is that for a brief period of time a few months ago after an update I could use the regular app for messages as well and it worked fine. Then two days later THEY DISABLED IT AGAIN. It's as if they're taunting me.

The code is clearly still in there for it to work, so WHY CAN'T I JUST USE IT THE WAY I WANT TO?!?

Fuck you Zuckerberg.

Ok I'm at 9900 now. Only a 100 to go and my life is complete.

Alright then i see your newspapers and i raise.

British "Newspapers"

The Sun, The Daily Star, The Mirror the under cover red top known as the Daily mail and the rather infamous news of the world. They all print 60 pages of absolute bullshit, they put their bias across on every single story rather than being neutral, front page news should be reserved for politics, wars and you know big events not when a F****** Boy band breaks up or Kim Kardashians F****** arse, and the absolute icing on the cake is the undeniable fact that all of them are corrupt. I could write an essay on it but instead I'll just leave you with a song.

Wow
