I'm fed up with LBP Karting adverts on this website. God I hope Sony are paying TheEscapist a fortune, the ads lock up the website and I have to close my browser instead of just navigating away.

I think you don't quite know what a 'meme' is.

It's a meme precisely BECAUSE people jump the bandwagon. Also, it's the repeated use that lack creativeness, not the memes themselves. Well, they might be, but it's inaccurate and frankly unfair to say such about all of them. They might have been created by someone unintentionally and might actually be really clever, in which case it'd be pretty douchy to say it's shit just because other people like to spread it.

Additionally, memes aren't just pictures and phrases spread online; but any idea that's spread socially by popularity. For instance, the word 'bandwagon', or rather its use outside of referring to an actual bandwagon, is a meme. Hell, religion is a meme.
And I think I never quite said anything to the contrary of what you wrote here, just that the bandwagon part tends to only go downhill.

I'm sick with how nationalism has greatly increased in my country. I'm sick of the braindead morons that have never once in their miserable lives opened a bloody history book going around voting for a fascist party. As a result, rascism and bigotry has been elevated as righteous behaviour, religious fundamentalism, when once non-existant, now has the power to stop theatres from playing plays deemed "heretical", and people are ok with the head of the party doing the nazi salute live on television. They actually cheer for him! Meanwhile immigrants are beat up and people walk away from it scot free because fascist congressmen say so. People are singing the national anthem while doing the nazi salute and no one says anything about it, and, worst of all, now the party wants to rewrite history Stalin style and say that the Junta never tortured people and DEFINATELY DID NOT have a tank break down the gates of a university, killing university students who only ever wanted freedom of expression.

I'm just so fed up with the state of it all. I would have already left if I had a place to go. All I can hope of is getting a scholarship abroad and hoping I avoid the worst of it.

"Texas is going to secede from the nation!"

My girlfriend told me that one first, though she overblew the severity of the issue a little. Now that I read about it, I can see clearly that it is ridiculous and foolhardy, not to mention unworkable IF anyobody let them. So, on that note, I'm already fed up with it and the reasons behind it.

My message to secessionists: GET OVER YOURSELVES.

Thank you. This has been a public service.
Captcha for this one is "Civil War." Funny, captcha.

Anyway, I say "let Texas go."

And yes, it's entirely their fault. Most bosses are sadistic, paranoid, xenophobic and self-destructive nowadays. They operate with the behavior of a person contemplating a violent outbreak followed by suicide, rather than a job creator.
Well, with that attitude, I wouldn't want you working for me either!
The words of someone who hasn't been looking for a job lately.
That's very presumptuous of you.
Actually I have and have had three offers in the last two weeks. I have quite a good CV though, when you don't have experience you have to completely sell yourself with your attitude.

yea, I wish i knew just how important experience was when i was in college. I would have pushed for internships a hell of a lot more.

To all of you college students out there, internships/experience is more important than the piece of paper you graduate with unless you are at the top of your class.

And i do suck at selling myself. I tend to be blunt and honest which automatically disqualifies me from even min wage jobs. Also I HATE playing "the game" on interviews. I hate it, i hate it, i hate it. It actually makes me sick playing it. When they ask me for flaws, I actually give them my flaws and not a "my only flaw is that im too loyal and too awesome for my own good" bullcrap answer. I hate bullsh@#ing, even though it is probably one of the most valuable skills you can ever develop.

Hell, im a chemical engineering working as an electric engineer making 20k a year with no benefits and I'm happy that i even have a job.

Sick of the Anti-American flak that people (especially here) throw around. A corrupt non american official does something stupid/horrible well that guy is a dick! A corrupt american official does something stupid/horrible screw america, those guys are assholes, did you really expect anything else from those guys?
Thank you! I know we aren't perfect, but it seems like this: X country's official breaks the law, "What a dick"; American official break the law, "What do you expect? He/she is American."

OT: I'm fed up with people bitching about college/university (not sure which word is preferred outside the US). Nobody is forcing you to be there, and all your whining isn't helping. Again, it's not perfect, but college is what you make it.
This, I fucking love uni, but only because I put so much effort into socialising in addition to working.
OT: people who act high and mighty. You are not a superior being for being born into the right circle, or for having certain friends, or because of how you look down on others. Stop it.

Also, people who flash their cash. As someone who is pretty well off, I prefer to not rub it into my friends faces that I have money. They're into their overdrafts and know it. Other people however, take the piss out of others for being less well off than them.

I'm sick of every kid that I know who plays games stuffing up YouTube with their shitty, generic, shit of 'Hey guys (enter xs and zs and numbers) here', and doing it because a game is popular. I'm willing to bet that these guys think that the sole reason that big YouTubers have subscribers is because of the games they play. True, to an extent, I guess, but it's more of a 'come for the games, stay for the personality', not 'come for the game, stay for the game'

The job market. It fucking sucks.

Unemployment is high, and there's absolutely no job security.
You're just lazy and picky. There are plenty of jobs out there, you just need to lower your standards.

Yeah, that attitude is what I'm fed up with. I've had my resumé done by professionals, written close to 40 applications in 2 weeks to different companies looking for people and 2 job interviews and no job came out of hours of work. Now that is reason on its own to get pissed, but when people on the internet who doesn't know me claim that the reason I can't get a job is because I'm lazy then I get really pissed. The job market sucks and it's hard to get a job unless you have experience and you can't get experience if you can't get a job.

I wish you the best of luck getting a job, personally I gave up for the time and decided to live on my student loan rather than getting a part time job.
I'm glad you clarified the first sentence there as something you're fed up with. I totally thought about setting fire to you. I hate that I have every transferable skill known to man but because I have no experience then the people that left school at 16 to work on an ASDA checkout have better prospects than I do.

On that note, the idea of "Well you wanted to do this before, what's changed?". My Dad keeps doing this to me. "I thought you wanted to get a PhD and move to america and work for NASA, what's changed?" Well, aside from that was 10 years ago, and having done my masters I want to pursue different things. The fact that funding for the PhD I want to do is virtually non-existent so I'd rather get some job experience and come back to it when it picks up. But no, because he had hopes that I'd be this generations Einstein and damn what I want if it doesn't involve me having a nobel prize before I'm 30.

Lack of the death penalty. People who ar caught after murdering their families or mass shootings get a fair trail and the verdict is usually "life in prison" or 4 consecutive life terms. Fuck. That. What use do we have keeping someone locked in a cell his whole life? None. It's a waste of time and money. It's not exactly humane to me to keep someone in a cell until they die. And to expect the average Joe to foot the bill when other criminals are caught and get released because the prisons are getting overcrowded. Take him outside, forget formalities, and blow the fuckers brains out. 15 minutes of an executioners day and one bullet plus burial services seem a heck of a lot cheaper to me.

I also wish the countries insurances policies would change. Drop Obamacare and open up cross-state buying. For example, I live in Ohio and insurance could be, and there is a chance it is, cheaper in my surrounding states. It's illegal for me to have insurance from any other state. Why? Just let me pick and choose. That should drive down prices by creating competition nationwide instead of in your state.

Illegal song downloading. I just watched an interview with Pepper Keanan from CoC/Down and he stated he did not agree with people downloading songs free. Maybe it's cause you're getting up in age, Pepper, but chances are when you were young and CoC was still underground that was how you got your name out. People trading bootleg cassettes. That's how you discovered bands. You heard it, liked it, bought it. I don't condone downloading whole discographies, but it is nice to download some sample music to test the waters and then go buy their album or merch to support them

I know superheroes in real life wouldn't work but god damn it man! We need more humane humans with humanity!

Funny, stuff like this makes for good writing with inspiring messages and symbolism, if only they actually sunk in...

Atheists talking and preaching at people with the fervor of Evangelical Christians. Can't you just be smug in private and not have to condescend to everyone who may have any of their beliefs rooted in the religious/spiritual/paranormal/magical?

Look to the agnostic. Live and let live.
Most Atheists are not very vocal. It's just like any religion, there are a few people who are extremely vocal and try to jam their beliefs down your throat. I myself am Atheist and my mindset when it comes to religion is: whatever floats your boat.

OT: I'm fed up with people who use YOLO as an excuse for doing stupid shit. Actually, I'm just fed up with people who use YOLO for anything. YOLO is Carpe Diem for stupid people.

Negativity

you know...the hate, bile and all round angryness spewed by the gaming-internet collective hivemind

I'm not saying everything is good or you have to live everything...but the whole Idea of "wait and see" seemed to have been lost...
Agree so damn much.

But to build onto it, it seems like people actually want things to suck, as though it justifies their constant cynicism. Not saying you have to be a ball of sunshine, but ffs not every decision is made with the intention of screwing you over, the sooner you stop TRYING to be a victim the sooner you can start enjoying yourself.
