What Do You Get Annoyed By?

People who go batshit crazy and all offended if I wear a Native American costume on Halloween. (And more often than not the ones getting offended are not even Native American.) (You politically correct snowflakes)

I know this is years old but I have to agree. What grinds my gears are people (mostly whites) who think they are qualified to speak on behalf of other races and in turn end up being racist themselves. To continue the Native American theme, the NFL regarding of Redskins is a prime example. Not a single Native American spoke out against the team, and in fact, quite a few were on TV saying how it's an honor.

Or Disney's retheming of Splash Mountain into a Princess and the Frog ride. Besides the fact that there are no mountains in Louisiana or the fact it makes zero sense to put it in a Wild West themed land, the ride never had any racist elements and was barely even connected to the movie. It didn't even have Song of the South in its name. Plus the movie had already been banned for a long time prior to its initial creation but it's all of a sudden racist after 25 years? And furthermore, every time I went on the ride, there were more blacks than whites. Really racist ride, isn't it? And controversial opinion incoming...PatF isn't even that good a movie. It's only looked fondly because of what Disney had churned out since 2000 and ANYTHING with quality control would be better than Chicken Little or Home on the Range.

People who get mad at me for putting my cigarette butts in my pocket when there's no bin around because it's "gross"... Actually anyone who just throws their rubbish on the ground because they're too lazy or retarded to hold onto it until they find a bin

Same here, you're not even allowed to defend yourself in Australia which is a joke and depending on circumstances the police won't even arrest people who do crimes... You can get away with murder if you're under 18 here

LOL, I can see why you don't like Tate. You love your authoritarianism. I can see why Scott Morrison called y'all sheep, that's because you ARE sheep.

No one likes Scott Morrison ya beta ?
 
People who ask obvious questions without stopping to think about it first.

"Can we print white on black paper?"

"Does the printer have white ink in it?"

"Oh... right..."
 
Steam's downloader. Something about it is fucked up. If I let it run unthrottled, hell more than 2mb/s, it overloads my hard drive's buffer and causes the whole computer to lock up in fits and starts until the buffer manages to clear itself. Yet torrents are able to download at over 9mb/s without any adverse effects on the computer's performance.

I think Steam downloads compressed packets and then unpacks them simultaneous to the ongoing downloads. So the combined function of downloading and unpacking plus the queue of downloaded but not yet unpacked files due to downloading faster than it can unpack is what overloads it. Instead of just downloading everything then doing the unpacking during the post download install that it runs.

My biggest problem with Steam's downloader is the fact that it's painfully slow to download updates. Despite having pretty fast internet, a 250mb update often takes over an hour to complete. Damn it, I wanted to play Automation NOW, not an hour from now.

The real problem is that it forces the installation of updates before you can play anything, even a single player game MUST be updated or you can't play it - unless you're in offline mode when the update gets pushed.



The Steamworks Shared files are also annoying as fuck. They're nothing but directX/dotnet/etc distributions, which have been packaged with physical games as long as they've existed. But on physical game installations the installers were smart enough to check if you had them already installed. Steam just fucking runs the most up to date distribution installer every fucking time you run ANY game that uses it for the first time. Nevermind it's a 20 year old game needing directx6, and you've already got directx80 installed, Steam will still fucking reinstall directx.
 
On the subject of Steam updates, what's up with their scheduling?
"This is a 400kB update, so to not interrupt your gaming we're scheduling it for 8am Thursday week."
