Non-YKK zips.

Having to pay for EVERYTHING! Want to not live outside? Gotta pay rent. Want water? Gotta pay the water company. Want to eat? Gotta buy food. Want to go somewhere? Got to pay for vehicle insurance.

I keep telling my friend that we're heading to the Cyberpunk society without the cool cybernetics. Hell, Nestle tried to privatise water which FALLS FROM THE SKY.

All that space is there for a reason. Use it!

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 23 points 12 hours ago

Everything having to turn a profit. We can't just do things anymore. Also, our society of inconvenience that it leads to.

Trump's popularity

Every goddamn thing wrapped in plastic that prevents crumbs from falling out.

US politics. It all just sucks. I'd rather not live in interesting times

[–] TehBamski@lemmy.world 10 points 13 hours ago

I can kinda relate. But I'd rather call them 'exhausting times.'

This old meme resonated with me back then... and it still does.

  • World leaders finding it okay that thousands of people are ~~dying~~ being murdered (as if it is a video game for them).
  • Everything gets more and more expensive.
  • My country just gave 4B to another country but there are so many issues. They want to give students β€œlong study fines” & People can’t pay well for their groceries.
  • The overall hate, racism and fascism.

Could make a whole longer list.

Idiotic opinions, and the people who loudly and enthusiastically share them.

Picking up slack for corporations.

Be a Karen. Fuck them.

[–] lud@lemm.ee 2 points 11 hours ago

What are you referring to?

[–] TehBamski@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Oh bitch of old. Tell me the ways that it must be told. Instill in me the ways of no fucks to give, as you see, we walk like aimlessly ducks with a dull shiv. Ducks without a pond, oh please of please, don't let me live like a 'dumb blonde' without any wings. Teach me the ways to turn my sass to 11, and guide me now towards Sassy Sass Heaven.

Nations. As in centralized hierarchical states. Brutal killing machines all. It's been what maybe 4-8k years of their bullshit and I for one am fucking sick of it.

At this point, presently? People acting like they are experts on Marxism without ever delving into Marxist theory

At this point, presently? People ~~acting like they are experts on Marxism without ever delving into Marxist theory~~

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 4 points 9 hours ago

People are alright, in general. I'm not a misanthrope.

[–] Achyu@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Who are the major experts on Marxism currently?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 13 hours ago

What do you mean? Marxist scholars? The best are members of Communist parties.

[–] JimmyBigSausage@lemm.ee 6 points 12 hours ago

Trump media infatuation.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 9 points 14 hours ago

The fucking bitches at my work who are so dumb that they don't even know what they don't know and too narcissistic to ask, and create unsafe situations for staff and kids which makes teachers quit and destroys any chance for education for students.

Scam attempts. This may be better elsewhere but in the U.S., every phone call I get is either a scam attempt or my mom (who is old enough that I worry about her getting elder scammed like when my grandma paid a stupid amount for silver coins).

I’ve never gotten scammed (except small stuff like carnival games or whatever) but if I were president I’d make ending scams β€” even false advertising ones β€” my top priority. You’ll be able to pick up a call from and unknown number after my first 100 days: that’s my promise to the people of America.

Fairly often I get this feeling like everyone around me's making things difficult for me.

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

Vocal people who only see the world through the lens of politics. I get that it's important, but it's not the only important thing.

Self-sabotage

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

The Swiss. I've had enough of them for a lifetime.

[–] TehBamski@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I live in the US, so I don't know much of what the Swiss have been up to.

Can you fill me in as to what bothers you the most that the Swiss are doing?

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 1 points 9 hours ago

They just don't know how to act in restaurants and I'm sick of it!
