Annoying things people say

[Tycon]

Just read through the entire list and pretty depressed to say that some point of my life I've said all of these things at least one, and some much more than others. I'm very sorry I've offended you guys, but the list is so expansive and contradictory I feel as if I can't say anything without knowing for certain if someone is offended by any statement I make.

I suppose the only way to avoid such a thing is to avoid talking all together but then people will hate people who don't talk at all. Is the overarching goal or message here that no matter what you do or say someone will hate you and dislike you possibly on the sole basis of the context of your sentence.

I'm not trying to ask for much, I just want to try to not be a douche bag so any advise given would be much appreciated. Additionally apologize for the "cop-out" paragraphs of idiocy. Also mentioning that my sentence was a cop out makes it a cop out as well. Its a vicious cycle.

you are an awful person and should feel bad.....

.....

but seriously, I've probably said or done things here once or twice anyway, it doesnt matter, whatever we do somone will ahve a problem with it...and we can all be a little hypocritical at times

relax..no need to take this all so seriously (so yes, I was joking just in case your not sure)

"I am not (...), but"
Because everything before the but is a lie, if you truly are not racist or sexist or whatever you don't need to mention it. And pointing out that a black, wheelchair bound, lesbian may be an asshole does not make you racist unless you point out how not racist you are

""Rape should be in video games because it's art" Not the exact words of course but you get the point. These people actually want to see rape in video games. Rape should never be something desired to be seen even if it is fictional. It takes a sick person to want to see even just a character meant to represent a person to be violated as that character is meant to be identified as just that a person. And of course they hide behind the art excuse.
.

I disagree

I mean obviosuly you feel very strongly about this but...

I dont think anyone has said "rape should be in games because art" or if somone says somthing like that its not [b/]desire to see rape[/b] it is the [b/]desire for our art to tackle difficult subjects[/b]

now in ANY medium the subject of rape doesnt work in the wrong hands (clumsy at best..offensive at worst)....aside from specific fantasies no one desires to see it

like the film "Boys Don't Cry" it has a very confronting rape scene....its not thee to be pleasureable or even easy to watch...its suposed to shock us, because it shows what a brutal and awful thing rape is...I don't belive it should be cencored in that context

on the other hand..the fact is alot of people have some form of "domination fantasy" the difference is its fantasy and completly seperate from real life...and no that doesnt mean rape should be put in to apeal to that kind of fantasy...quite the oposite..leave that for porn..

Incredibly frustrating as I find it incredibly difficult to talk too girls I like.

Open to interpretation"

Bloody hate it, when especially if it's a book or a song and the athor refuses to give definite answers.

I know that it removes all mystery but it just allows debates where someone get's to say that All you need is love by the Beatles is actually about Nazi/terrorism/murder/ponies... whatever and it gets treated as a valid point.

I just want people to have an opinion about their own work and then draw my own conclusions

also

"not everything needs to be about something"

well, then why have it?

I'm going to have to use this an an exampel of another one (sorry) but using the words "*****, moan and whine" constantly to trivialis the feelings/problems of others

[quote/]Trust me, if I tell someone to "Man up" it's usually a more polite way of saying "Shut the fuck up, or I'll bust your damn jaw.", .

you really shouldnt go around punching people in the jaw....

ok, I get what you saying..BUT I can't say I fully agree. I think its important for people to be able to say "you know what? I don't feel ok" keeping it inside for fear of ridicule or being dissmissed is not healthy, particually when talking about clinical depression

now yeah...there are those who will always wallow in their own misery and feed off the sympathy of others and I definetly think people need to have more resilliance...but I think there is a difference

and does this veiw of your extend to women as well?...or is it ok for me to complain abotu my issues?..just makes me think is all[/quote] I wasn't saying don't ever tell anyone if there's something wrong, I'm meaning that in some situations it can be far more productive to fix it yourself if at all possible without complaining too much, there is a difference between clinical depression, and bitching about something and not getting over it ever... HUUUUGE difference.

And as I said, polite way of saying, not I'm going to break your face... I have a fairly high level of self restraint which has kept me out of bad situations on more than a few occasions, being charged with assault, is something one tends to try to avoid if possible.

And being female is no different, it's better to act when you can, to avoid complaining too much, because complaining in replacement of action is generally only negative in it's effect on you and others around you.
If by "complain" you meant, bring meaningful attention to something that you need help with, then nobody should look down on anyone for doing that, male or female.

So maybe you should try the "Act before you *****" style of living out, you don't hafta be an emotionless boulder, and being effeminate has NOTHING to do with it, I have many friends who range from mildly effeminate straight/bi men to the flamboyantly gay, and none of them fail to "man up" when the situation calls for it, it's just an exercise of self control, and learning from and growing through experiences.

Funny thing is I follow that view, but telling someone to "man up" doesn't achieve anything either. It just pisses them off, explaining to them why they're a whiny ***** tends to be much more effective. But no, generally when I've been told to "Man up" it has been about things more to do with say, physical pain or such, where somehow my pain is negated because "They broke their face when they were a baby." or something.

that's a bit different, though I would urge trying to build up a higher pain tolerance if possible, if for no other reason than it could save your life later, I've had to give myself first aid before, and if I hadn't learned to at least partially ignore pain, I would've passed out, and bled to death.

Not saying it's necessarily a bad thing to be sensitive to pain, because if you cannot feel pain then well, it can get you into that kind of situation to begin with.

Still, I am glad to hear that you are not the inactive type, because people who endlessly ***** about something and never fix it do nobody any good, least of all themselves.

Cheers.

"not everything needs to be about something"

Because ART.

If everything was blatantly explained especially in the artistic end of things, there would be no space for immagination, or mindplay in that field, or another important part of that, is personal exploration, and the deepening understanding of one's own emotions...

I would prefer not to be in a bland world with instructions on how to think about everything, that goes a little too far into thought police territory, and removing anything that is open to individual interpretation, would essencially mean that all music would have to be literal, and all art would have to be of the realistic reproduction type, and it would all become bland.

Now considering that life in itself has no inherent meaning, I believe that taking art out of the world, would pretty much destroy any hope or joy that one can find in this otherwise miserable hellhole, at least for people who cannot afford to "DO" everything they want to to give life any zest.

I would LIKE the artist to EXPLAIN their work AND then draw MY own conclusion.

if the artist explains their art it shouldn't stop one from forming an opinion or interpretation that differs. and if the instructions on how to experience the art is from artist then you might appreciate it more because you can see it through their eyes and if you don't like what the artist says then you can choose to not listen choose to not listen

<spoiler=snip>"YOLO" Now I haven't had a problem with this until recently. "You only live once" is actually quite a old phrase but was actually said during times that warranted it. For some reason kids have now widely adopted it as if it has some deep meaning when they associate it with absolutely anything or even nothing at all.

"Rape should be in video games because it's art" Not the exact words of course but you get the point. These people actually want to see rape in video games. Rape should never be something desired to be seen even if it is fictional. It takes a sick person to want to see even just a character meant to represent a person to be violated as that character is meant to be identified as just that a person. And of course they hide behind the art excuse.

"Are you calling me a liar" I hate this one so much. Because it's always misused to begin with. Even worse that I had a schizophrenic brother in law that used it all the time anytime you disagreed with anything and he would literally start freaking out. I get that he's a extreme case but others use it just the same without the freaking out part. Just because you are wrong about something and a person disagrees and corrects you doesn't mean they called you a liar. Same with if they are simply skeptical because of the claim being unlikely. And of course none of these people blindly trust everyone else like they expect from others.

"Corporations are people" Do I really have to explain this?


"Homosexuality is a choice" As if anyone has control over who they find sexually attractive or not. Really this statement is one without any thought behind it whatsoever. If we took out a stop watch and gave a 10 second time limit I am sure anyone who actually takes those 10 seconds to think could easily debunk this claim.

"Whine about something - thread, vol. 16885"

Cheer up
Get over it
Just go with the flow
Don't think so much
Any way of saying: Why aren't you eating more?
Wittering on before asking for a favor

I hear you dislike certain things people say so I am here to lend advice. Just cheer up and get over it, go with the flow and don't think so much and you really should be eating more bro. By the way can borrow your car mine's in the shop.

Haha. Well played brah. Keep it up, because, you know, YOLO!!1

 

[Padwolf]

Noob. I hate that word. It's just so damn stupid sounding.

Hmm can't believe you went and opened the damn sexist bullshit can of worms again. Thought those threads had run their course already.

OT: Very specific one from LoL.

"OMG STOP FEEDING"

Oh now that you've said that to our 0/4 bottom lane i'm sure they'll snap right out of their losing streak and pick up their game instantly! How could they have been so stupid?! We just need to stop feeding! Brilliant idea!

Anyway, being fed is overrated. For most Champions anyway. A fed Olaf, Jax or Xin is a lost game pretty much. Olaf and Jax have methods to avoid damage (think that's what Jax's spin thing does) or just not care (Olaf with life steal and can't touch this ult) and Xin is just Xin.

Whenever I get fed with my Irelia it just makes my job a bit easier. AKA diving into the enemy team, kill their carries then get out.

True Damage too stronk.

Yay another Irelia player! I agree about Xin. Xin is a pain in the butt whether he is fed or not. I never do well against a Xin.
Also the word Feed. When someone says "they are feed." No. The proper way to say it is "they are fed" Not "feed" it's "fed" How hard is it to get that right? Then when someone says "they are feeding" when they only have 1 death. I never rage at that game, but the stupid things people say make me want to slap them round the head.

When people say hello by saying "you alright?" Do they actually want to know what's on my mind? I highly doubt it.

When people ask me "Are you alright?" When I'm sitting there crying. Of course I'm not alright! I would think that would be clearly obvious.

"RINO"[footnote]Republican in Name Only[/footnote]. The problem isn't that I'm not a real republican, it's that the paint you use has made you unusually susceptible to stupid.

"Quit being so smart!" I'll stop being smart when you stop being petty.

"I hate Justin Bieber!" unless you happen to be a 12-15 year old girl, that has the same substantiality as you hating Barney The Dinosaur.

"God Hates Fags". You know what He hates more? Anti-Semites.

"I hate Barney!" Great! You officially hate a program aimed at people too young to go to school. Do you also hate pull ups?

People who use the word "Douchebag" as an insult. There are better words. Read more.

"You don't know what you're talking about!" That's not an excuse for your subject not holding up to basic scrutiny.

"America for Americans!" xkcd sums up my thoughts quite nicely. [http://xkcd.com/84/]. Also, I don't speak Cherokee.

On an unrelated note, it annoys me when Spellcheck flags complex words. Not long words, complex words.

Have you watched the Newsroom, because I think it's aimed at you.

No, but a couple of clips showed up on my Youtube channel, and I have looked it up. I'm planning on checking it out when I have the time.
