Things that piss me off about the modern age

  • using words like 'perhaps', additionally', and 'merely' in every day convo makes you sound like a stuck-up dick
  • people throwing out their "old" gadgets for shiny new ones with two changes/modifications/additions See this mindblowing consumer-culture ad 
  • smile etiquette. How creepy can a person be before it is no longer acceptable to smile at them in passing? Why don't people smile at each other in cities? Is a smile a mugging invitation? Do peoples' faces in cities possess the ability to bend upwards?
  • Everyone whipping out their phones all over the place
  • The Industrial Revolution. People are still starving all over the world, and when gas runs out we chubby Americans are screwed. 
  • Supercilious college girls with their preppy handbags and oh-so-conforming ponytails and makeup. It's just kind of boring. 
  • Really stupid movies. How do you justify spending so much money on something that's immature, low, and dull? 
  • individually wrapped snack packets and water bottles. So much plastic, why! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asCNsI-q_KQ
  • The anonymity of the internet. Because there are no repercussions, people can shout things out into cyberspace and never get confronted about what they say. YouTube comments are the worst. They're an outlet for shrieking fangirls, awful trolls, and just....really unintelligent people, to put it  frankly. Basically, everything that I say on here, in this personal space that I've decided is mine...these are my real thoughts. I would say these out loud to almost anyone, and if someone confronted me about them, I would gladly have a conversation regarding why I think that, and maybe change my standings based on new information. Everything is subject to change, in some way or another. Everything. This blog isn't necessarily public: I'm not plastering my opinion onto something someone else has put on the internet, forcing other people to read it-people can either look at my blog or not, and they don't have to agree with what I'm saying, ever. And that's fine.  
Edit: preppy college girls are very nice, I'm sure. It's just that you feel like they're looking down on you all the time. I'm sorry for my strong opinions. I'm more relaxed and a tad less cynical if you meet me. Things come across much stronger in my writing, and brief sentiments or passing opinions become a bit set in stone. Maybe the need to apologise after every blog post I write is a signal that I should try to make them nicer?
