When someone asks for help, so you send them link for a guide, and they respond with "Can't you just tell me how to fix it." , like our generation expects to be spoon fed nowadays.
Then they add "nvm fixed it". If they don't know how to do it or can't be bothered, they should give it to someone who has more experience instead of being a lazy-ass.

I don't understand why I have an idea of working on something big, until somebody does it immediately before me. Y'know, DMCA takedowns should really protect them from this.

I've gotten too old for anime. Never watched a SINGLE episode from a series in over 5-6 years.
I don’t get how someone can be “too old for anime.”

My hobbies change a lot from time to time a lot. As a kid, you grow up to enjoy a lot of things, like going out to the park with your friends, riding a bike, watching anime, and much more. I did used to enjoy those until, over time, we detach from those we know and move on. They start a family, have jobs, and do a lot of other important things. You're never really too old for anime, you're right about that. But some don't enjoy it like they used to. I don't mind if you think that way; but just let me live my life and don't tell me how to live mine.

Okay, we're good. :D

So the reason why I never age is because anime and no kids? Today is a good day for Catboy

No, that's not what I meant. I mean relationships with people tend to change overtime, you have different hobbies compared to what you used to enjoy before you get bored of it.
Yup and my wife is also quite young in her appearance as well, thanks to Anime and no kids!

Kids are an absolute nightmare to deal with. They are noisy, they screech, they like watching Cocomelon like its their homework. I want to enjoy the best aspects of my life to the extent before its over, without anyone invading my space.

Pleased to hear that you two are getting on well in your relationship.

I was born unable to have kids so I never had to worry about them, even when I was worrying having them!

Am still happily married ^-^ now playing Palworld together!

1. Children. I don't know if I'll ever understand the appeal. Practically speaking, they're noisy, incredibly expensive, difficult to manage, and stressful. Hell, I can barely tolerate myself!
2. Intertwined church and state. Not everyone is religious, and not everyone wants religion in their life.
3. RTS/heavily strategized games like Mass Effect, along with most simulation games.
4. Mobile gaming
5. Neurotypicals, sadly. It must be nice not to have to worry about stims or how you're perceived.
6. Hatred/labeling of groups of people based on beliefs, religion, political views, generation, etc. It's so obnoxious and counterproductive.
7. Not having a plan in life, and being fine with that.
8. The appeal of pop music.
9. Anime
10. Social media. I have none whatsoever and don't understand the appeal.
11. Most bassoon players
12. Sports, watching sports, sports hype, getting angry against opposing sports fans, etc etc etc
And many more, but those are the first things that come to mind.

Recently I was visiting someone in prison and saw some of these contemporary dancers dancing/prancing about with no music (doing a show for the prisoners), to me they looked ridiculous and I imagined that it must be mental to be a deaf person. Anyway this guy which was the leader of the dance troupe asked me what I thought about it and I told him I didn't get it and that they all looked a bit mental. I don't think he was chuffed with my review, however honesty is the best policy. Another thing I just don't get is these drama students that wave their arms about in the air while going "swish, swish" and pretending to be a tree or something. Also those fantasy computer games that are card based/turn based - how boring are they, I mean I just don't get wha the point of them is.

What stuff do you not get and find weird that other people like?
People.

Those guys on YT with white gloves and put the mic really close to the packaging... It's just weird and I don't like it.

Such as this guy:



He has that knife and wears white gloves? Jeez, I wonder what he does off camera. lol

And he has over 9 million subscribers... People really like that shit, huh.

He first rose to fame by playing Call of Duty: Zombies, which rocketed him to popularity. Now he just does unboxings which is very disappointing.

    smokey flavor that reminds me of beef jerkey on top of a really rich kind of bbq sauce. Heat level that is a nice zing, not overwhelming, but it tingles all the way down your throat

    It's important for society to be healthy and educated.
