Dumb things that annoy you

[Chack]

In other news, my insane idea to catch a shiny Kyogre in HeartGold, since the verdict is still out if its shiny locked in AS.  I have the Master Ball, I have the Synchronize Pokemon I want (not as vital, it's more for show than competitive) and I have the save file exactly right.  Now all there is to do is soft-reset a couple billion times in the hope the RNG comes out right.  Merry Christmas to me!

Good luck to you with that. I wish I could find a shiny, let alone catch one.

Urgh, the N64 expansion pack I was giving to my brother for Christmas hasn't come in yet! Why is it taking so long? It's been almost 2 weeks! Everything else came in a week before, and they were all ordered at the same time! I know, distance is a bit of a problem and this was the farthest one to deliver, but not by much.

Also, my Princess Luna figure I ordered from Hot Topic apparently had some trouble delivering directly to my house. Look, I know my dog is scary, but they've seen her before and she's NEVER bitten anyone.

EDIT: The dog wasn't even outside the day it should have been delivered. It was raining, and my dog is terrified of rain. There was NO excuse.

Not surprisingly, I ended up working late tonight delivering packages. I didn't clock out until 6:15, much too late to make the 4 hour drive back to Natchitoches, so I'm going to be all alone here this Christmas. My family had Christmas dinner tonight, so it would be pointless going at this point just to have to drive back tomorrow.

I wish I could work tomorrow, what good his having Christmas off if I'm just going to spend it sitting alone in my empty apartment?

Well actually, I can, and I did for the 6 seconds I was reading your post.

ESPN's "Santa Interview" commercial that keeps cropping up on youtube, namely how it declares that watching video game clips instead of a Christmas Day basketball game as being "naughty".  Well some of us don't particularly like basketball, or sports in general.  Ever consider that, you pompous git?    I may have even considered it kind of funny, if I didn't keep seeing it specifically on Let's Player's channels.  Try a different audience guys, like one you actually connect to!

^ I don't like any sports either.
It's even worse that people will call you "unAmerican" if you don't like certain sports. Being American has nothing to do with liking sports.

That's why people tend to blame the media's unrealistic beauty standards for some of the problems that women have regarding body image. We're made to think that we have to be super skinny like models and movie stars to be beautiful, so even when we have a thin, healthy body, we still look at ourselves and think we're too fat. It has more to do with how we see ourselves, than how others see us, and it's a really problematic mentality.

I think people don't like being fat anymore because it's so easy to get fat with all that fattening food but it takes discipline and will to be fit ( fit, not just skinny ). Maybe that is why fit people are seen as attractive and fat people not as much. Because they show discipline. although it would probably be wiser to put that discipline to a better use like studying or crafting and not to your looks.

By "unrealistic," I mean the photos of models that have been photoshopped to be skinnier than they actually are, and the women who barely eat just so they can be underweight for their job's ridiculous beauty standards, which by the way, is horrible for their health.

Being fit is what should be beautiful. Being a skeleton or a photoshopped Barbie doll is not what should be beautiful.

And unfortunately, some overweight people are overweight because of problems other than improper diet and lack of exercise. Some need to work harder than an average person to stay fit.

People should fear being overweight for health reasons, not because a ton of people are going to bash them and make them feel like no one will ever love them.

You know why americans have such problems? Because of your bread. There's so much sugar in it!! Gah! My friend said it tastes like cake...

Our bread doesn't taste like cake, as far as I know? Meh, I hate white bread anyway. I prefer wheat bread.
And chocolate is too sweet for me.

I have noticed we have problems with our food. It's kinda funny to watch videos of Europeans and Australians trying American snacks and candies for the first time. They're usually like "Wow, this is horrible for you" and stuff.

That largely depends on where you get the bread from, and where you get the flour in the case of home made bread. Every country has something bad in their food it's just a matter of researching it. I know someone who grinds their own flour and makes their own bread at home. The biggest problem in America is fast food. Though the larger problem is the fact that others don't have the willpower to choose the healthier alternative then you also have people who don't really care or know it's bad and eat it anyways. Another problem is people not exercising. Which actually is the biggest issue, you can have fattening foods as long as you exercise to burn off what you eat, our breads have less than 1 gram of sugar unless you choose some crazy off brand option.

The problem is that healthy food in America is substantially more expensive than then garbage food. Having enough money to pay for that is not a matter of willpower, as popular as that opinion might be.

What is needed it cheap, decent quality, basic foods. Vegetables, rice, potatoes, etc. Cheap vegetables in the US hardly seem to qualify as plant life, much less food. It simply refuses to rot. Bacteria don't even want the stuff.

That's not true at all. When I first moved out on my own with a minimum wage job I involuntarily adopted a healthier diet because I couldn't afford junk food. That's saying something considering we don't even have a junk food tax. I ate a lot of fruit because it was so cheap. I could get a bunch of bananas for a dollar, or a whole bag of tangerines for 2 dollars. Compared to a bag of chips that cost 2.75, or a box a cookies that cost 3 dollars.

The very poor; particularly single parents, are fatter because they get food stamps which they can spend on almost any food item, regardless of nutritional value, and many are unemployed which contributes to a sedentary lifestyle. To be honest I think food stamps shouldn't be useable for junk food, that's not what their for. 50% of people on food stamps are obese, which is a much higher rate than the general populous, because they spend their benefits on junk food that they don't need. Putting more restrictions on the use of SNAP benefits would nudge them toward healthier lifestyles. I'd much rather see people spend their benefits on apples and grapes than chips and cookies.
