1. Racism
2. Homophobia
3. Idiots
1. Stupidity
2. Socialism

Especially number three. I hate PC.
The ironic thing has been going on for years here. It's now ironic to hate people who are ironic.

Im in the south, so it took a while to catch on. It just popped up about a year and a half ago. Its just so annoying how you can't be a genuine fan of anything these days without someone thinking "oh he's just being ironic."
Yeah I know. Hipster mentality is firmly entrenched in New York. It's so annoying when someone likes all the worst albums by famous artists, because the mainstream stuff is popular. Or anything new sucks because the original was lesser known.
Or people with My Little Pony avatars...yuck.
I remember going to the larger metropolitan cities like Dallas and Austin for shows and seeing it there being glad my city wasnt like that. Now its everywhere.
Another thing that really gets me is nerd culture being socially acceptable. When I was in middle school, I wore Star Wars tshirts and had LotR notebooks and got made fun of everyday. Move on to high school where I read Arthur C Clarke novels by myself at lunch and played Magic during PE and I also got made fun of then. Now its actually cool to be a nerd?!
I have a ton of qualms with various things. I could write a book.
I feel exactly the same. Shows like "King of the Nerds", Nerdist Podcast, Big Bang Theory. I just think it's being marketed to now, that is what makes it annoying.
King of the Nerds pissed me off, because they had a NASA scientist and mathematicians competing against comic book nerds...a pro videogame player won the thing. What are we even saying about our culture?
People latch onto these certain groups as an alternative for an actual personality. You can just buy it at the store, and advertisers are gonna find you no matter what group you're in.
A comic book movie made a s***-billion dollars in the box office, and "The Master" by Paul Thomas Anderson lost money. It's like any business, if people didnt like it then they won't see it. It's this perpetual adolescence that allows them to just repackage childhood things sell it back.
It took just one commercial viewing for me to know that King of the Nerds would fill me with rage if I tried to watch it. It looked like they just tried waaayyyy too hard. The Big Bang Theory is the most unfunny thing I've ever seen. And I stopped listening to the Nerdist because Chris Hardwick was always talking about how much he hates that the nerd culture is popular, yet he named his podcast the Nerdist.
I have not seen a single comic book movie that I was impressed by. Maybe the Watchmen. I think im the only person in the world that hated the Avengers.
This is so unrelated but how do I make someone my apprentice?πΉ

It's just all symptomatic of a culture that values material things more then knowledge. I guess that is just everyone when you boil it down...I don't know.
Has anyone notice the messages beta on pages. What is it. I haven't seen an update on it. I'm guessing its in progress..

That messages thing really grinds my gears.
Ps- I wonder what it is too.
Ughhhh. Unanswered questions really grinds my gears. π

Grinded gears really grinds my gears. Maybe it's a instant messaging program! We can chat in real time.
Omg.
Beer for Piotr for that one. :)

I did some research (none) and I clicked messages under your profile, it shows our PMs.
Uhmm. Nice. :)
Let me check this out.
Edit: ohh thats very nifty. :) πππ that.
Something I've been thinking about to do something nice for our little community members.
The trusted ones that is.
Have a thread of there birthdays and for their birthdays send them a cards/deck box/sleeves just a little something to say Happy Birthday. :)
Wouldn't that be nice. :)

That would grind my gears.
Ps- that'd be mighty nice of you, and necessary. Certain members have been long overdue presents.
It would be nice to have about 10 people that is trustworthy.

I guess so. I attribute it mostly to the explosion of social networking. Everything is crossing over and becoming one thing. Look at the Trash Talk and Odd Future collaboration. Hip hop and hardcore haven't really been mashed together (with a social acceptance) Body Count and maybe Suicidal Tendencies.
Speaking of gear grinding. It grinds my gears thats there's TWO Black Flag incarnations getting together and neither one involves Henry Rollins :(
what grinds my gears is that the new messaging beta thing won't let me go back to the iMtG app.
I clicked on a card while going through my messages to see if I received the trade and now I can't go back.
Piotr help! :|
Another thing thats grinds my gears, negative karma for no reason :(
Karma always has its reason, what grinds my gears is that sometimes the reason is stupidity.
I love this little MtG community. :)
What grinds my gears is grammar. There's a difference between your and you're; then and than; there, their, and they're.
I'm absolutely horrible with it. But I try my best.

That's the way I feel on facebook. Being from the south with way to many opinions, someone tries to make a valid argument and it just fails miserably.
Lol I've just seen really poor arguments. Someone posted on a page called "Anime is Satan," and his original argument was that some anime teaches grammar, while the Bible does not. That really got to me.

I just don't understand.

The least they should do is give a standardized test to see if you have the knowledge to vote. /:

Anything would be better than what we have now, but I think democracy should be replaced with nomocracy. Democracy is so stupid it's not worth trying to fix it ;)
When people go on voting rants I'm like blah blah blah.
What grinds my gears
1. Making list
2. Finishing list
And 3. Reviving a thread
1. Grass
2. Sweat
3. Tears
