Dumb things that annoy you

[Chishio Kunrin]

Meant for kids? Really? There's people that think that just because something is small then it's meant for kids? I just find that really silly, and yeah, smaller fruit has a ton more taste, though there's also some issues with taste variance between types too, I've tried Norwegian strawberries plucked here in norway, and then imported strawberries, the norwegian ones had much more taste, though I wouldn't be surprised if the imported ones either were GMO to be as big as possible and based on a smaller breed or if it's just something about difference in taste between types.

And yeah, one thing that also annoys me a ton, when I find actual SOUR candy, and then it gets pulled later and replaced with sweet candy marketed as sour, ugh.

They took small oranges and specially bred them to where they have a seedless variant that you can easily pull the peel off of. Then, they began marketing them as being oranges for kids, since a kid can just take it out of the fridge, break the peel with their fingernail, rip the peel off, and eat it, no problem. It's a healthy snack the kid can get themselves, and it's sweet, which entices kids to want to eat it.

Having to work for a manager that doesn't even want to work and doesn't deserve the position because I think he kisses too much butt and refuses to give out breaks if it means him lifting a finger.

[Howitzer]

There has to be someone in this state that finds me competent to work for them. Well, it seems there are at least 45 companies that don't.

I really wish I could let the past go, and accept things as they are now.

Long long ago, my bestest good friends and I used to be able to play every single day, to a point where it was strange and suspicious if one of us suddenly disappeared for a day. But nowadays it seems keeping contact just feels like such a struggle, due to real life keeping us all away from each other, and we will probably never be as free as we used to again.

I hear that, Itty.

To the friendships we've lost, and the friendships we hope to keep.
*Raises a glass*  Hear, hear.

Amen to that, we must honor the past relations of our life, regardless of current circumstances. To present enemies, made from former friends, and to friends who little contact makes to the level of solely acquaintance, allow us to cheer for the positive of the past, and hope a better future to come forth from such.

My windows prof finally fixed the quiz to allow us to see our mark and the answers we got wrong.  THIS, is why most of the students are failing this class.


Here is the exact statement pulled from the Configuring Windows 8: Exam 70-687 manual-Chapter 7:Controlling Access to Local Hardware and Applications

"Users can easily introduce unauthorized software into the environment, and they can also copy corporate data and carry it out."

Notice I got it wrong yet two of those are correct answers.

Yup.
People, life, and relationships move on.
Sometimes not in our same direction...and we lose them.

Best thing we can do is just keep moving.
If you're meant to be friends then you'll meet again someday.

Still hurts though.
It's why I don't get close to that many people...
I literally could count all my friends on a single hand.



Guitar prices...

I hate badly-written tests.
When the questions aren't clear.
Or the answers aren't clear.
Or two answers are the same thing, and I'm left wondering "Which one am I supposed to pick?"

Like, come on, whoever wrote the test! A test is only as good as the way it's written! If it's badly written, you're gonna get skewed results!

This is how I feel on all modern testing, since we have to deal with Common Core, alongside mostly Incompetent instructors as well.

"Is the size of an island independent or dependant on the amount of birds that come to it?"
My answer: 'Independent, as the size of an island doesn't change based on the bird population. The size of the population on the island would be dependant though.
*She marks it wrong*
Teacher's Answer: 'Dependant, because I'm right.'

So..magically a body of land expands or shrinks in size by virtue of the bird population, because she says so. Not the stupidest thing she's ever tried pulling off though, she also thought a Molecule was an Atom, and after being proven wrong continued trying to claim such. She also tried pushing another thing on us that I can't call out the stupidity of due to the nature of it.

Common Core is horrible, and I'm glad I narrowly escaped it. Though, I'm sad that the younger generation has to deal with and be poisoned by it.

It's so badly done that it's like they're intentionally trying to dumb everyone down.

Common Core started really getting implemented around when I was in my senior year of high school, and my Pre-Calculus teacher hated it so much he did what he wasn't supposed to do - he stopped using it and returned to teaching us his way. Thank goodness, too, because the Common Core assignments he had to hand out to us were terribly-written and sometimes had some of the questions printed twice. Incompetence...

On the same note, you won't be hired as law-enforcement if you're too intelligent.
I suppose it's to keep the officers dumb enough not to question anything, but when youre enforcing law on a civilian populous, it seems smarter to allow officers some bending room.
If it were the army in a time of peace, I'd agree with the policy.  It just seems...Oddly stupid of them.

I wish my mom would stop worrying about my cousins future so much!
so what if he failed all his subjects in Colleges, it doesn't mean you should make him feel low!
i failed all my subjects in EVERYTHING and left during high school 1st year but i'm still living a happy life and have friends!

ya must have never heard the line "if you worry too much about the future you could miss out on everything you have RIGHT NOW"

Never mind about the Undertale thing. It's fixed.

Collge costs money, high school doesn't. To flunk out of college is literally to throw away thousands of dollars. That's the difference.

its her own fault that she simply gave away that money expecting so much, now shes holding a grudge on him and now my cousin might never come to our house again just because of that

Seriously though! when you give something to someone you should do it for the sake of doing it not so you get something out of it, unless it was a trade or a "Borrow"
Besides given my mom can spend money on useless cruises and MANY air travels i bet that paying for my cousins collage didn't make her poor or anything but i'm most likely being ignorant given i'm really cheesed about this matter

Everytime i play Kingdom Hearts 1 on the ps3 remix i feel like the game lost its difficulty since the ps2's first release of the game and that it has skipped a few things, like when you go to Atlantis i recall singing and dancing with Ariel but on the Remix on Ps3 there is none of that, recently i reached the part where you meet beast, the long journey using the wooden sword that i recall is no longer LONG and Riku seems to be easy to beat now but i could be totally wrong given i haven't played the ps2 one in a VERY long time and my disc for the ps2 was broken

Ever heard of "Looks good on paper, will forever be horrid in execution"?

Honestly speaking, the idea, the concept, it was all there, it was something to be excited about. Higher standards, proper preparation, etc.. Then, upon execution, we learned why these types of standards should never exist, because the "guidelines" force the teachers to not be able to do anything for the students, including aiding in their true learning. Alongside that, the focus is on tests, instead of learning and understanding their stupid new concepts and the like that they so highly praise.

Can someone call Stephen Hawking and inquire about the black hole that's mysteriously opened inside my bank account? I don't know what the heck's going on. I went from $3600 down to $3100 in one week and my rent hasn't even hit yet, where the HECK is all my money going?!?!

Plus I've got a boatload of moving expenses coming up in a week. Gah.

That sounds like a problem, can't you check with the bank or something about where all that money went?
