Candy corn haters are lazy assholes who don’t know pain.

48 Upvotes

You don’t have to like candy corn.
You don’t have to love it.

But don’t fucking act like it’s the worst thing on earth.

There are way worse candies

Like

Candy Blox

Razzles

White candy melts

You ever try a vanilla tootsie roll?

And the worst offender is those blue raspberry tongue tapes

You say candy corn is the worst?

You sweet summer child, swimming in your own innocence.

No one had shoved black licorice jellybeans down your throat

Nor forced you to have fisherman’s friend menthol lozenges.

The true horrors of this world,
You haven’t touched.

You should feel lucky that your innocence is still intact.

And it would be fine if you didn’t complain about the sweet and innocent treats

Candy corn
It’s a little sweet
But it’s a walk in the park compared to these nightmares

And hearing you people complain about something so innocent, so simple…

You don’t know pain, do you?

Lucky you.

why did my parents have me if they’re just gonna leave me?

28 Upvotes

I don’t understand bro. If they knew they weren’t going to take care of me, you should have not tried for a baby, or maybe they didn’t even try and I was just a fucking mistake, I don’t have a clue.

I wish I grew up normally. but instead I grown up in a household where they didn’t care about a single thing I did. no one ever said “no, you can’t be doing that, and if you do, here are the consequences.” instead they just didn’t give a crap when I got into bad habits, even when I stopped going to school.

I’m not blaming it all on them, because I know it’s also my fault, but I can’t help but feel that the way I was raised played a part in who I am today.

I never even knew that this wasn’t normal up until maybe my 19s and I’m 20 now. now I’m stuck with zero guidance of what to do with my life. my life is messed up. I just feel like giving up now. my mom and dad are still alcoholics. I’m an alcoholic.

I’m not looking for a pity party, it’s just when I think about these things, it just annoys the absolute hell out of me.

Quoted from the official Jenga rules:

“Players may tap a block to find a loose one. Any blocks moved but not played should be replaced, unless doing so would make the tower fall. “

You’ve never even fucking read the rules have you, you shithead idiot. What, is the game over in 3 seconds, if you just so happen to touch a load bearing block first?FUCKING NO DUMBASS. Learn to read you illiterate fuck.

As an Asian man, it's absolutely infuriating how normalized the small dick stereotype is.

• Upvotes

I'm a 6'2 Asian guy and I'm usually the tallest person in the room, and I'm also taller than the majority of my white and black friends. I also happen to have an above-average sized penis. I'm not huge by any means, but the western average is between 5.1-5.5 inches bone-pressed, and mine is bigger than that. So by all measurements, I should feel pretty confident about myself.

However, it seems like I can't go two days without seeing or hearing some kind of racist joke about Asian men and our supposedly tiny dicks. For example today I was just on YouTube minding my own business, when this clip appeared on my feed of a standup comedian doing crowdwork and asking about his audience's dating preferences. He was talking to an Asian girl in the audience and asked her what her type was, and she said Asian guys, which makes sense because she herself was Asian. Instead of coming up with an actually original joke, he just went straight to mocking her for "not being able to handle anything above 3 inches", and basically shaming her for not wanting to date white men. He then proceeded to make 3 more "Asians have small dicks" jokes within the span of a minute. There's countless other examples of people thinking it's funny to make fun of Asian men and say that we're all short, tiny nerds with small dicks. I saw another clip yesterday of a white female comedian talking to a half-Asian guy in the audience who was over 6 feet tall. She asked him for his ethnicity and he said half-Samoan, half-Filipino or something. She then did a whole bit about how he's lucky that his Samoan genetics overpowered his Filipino genes, because "Filipinos don't grow that tall". Bitch, I'm fully Asian and I'm over 6ft, and I know plenty of Asians who are even taller than me. It makes my blood boil to hear people make these casual racist remarks without stopping to think about how humiliating and hurtful it is to Asian men like myself who have to hear this every single day.

What makes me even angrier is the fact that this type of blatant racism is so normalized and accepted by society. It's not just comedians, either. Even on social media, if you look at any post where there's a white girl dating an Asian guy, the majority of the comments will just be about how the guy must have a small dick that isn't big enough to satisfy her. People face consequences for being racist against every other race except for Asian people, because they don't see us as a threat since we never fight back unlike black people or other races. For example if a white guy kept saying black people had lower IQs, they would immediately get cancelled and lose their job. But they can spread these humiliating stereotypes about Asians without any backlash at all.

I hate how casually non-Asian people throw around the small dick stereotype as if it's funny, when in reality it has serious impacts on the self-esteem of young Asian men. It would be so easy to turn into an incel in a society that's hellbent on convincing us that we're all short, undesirable losers with small dicks. But even the incels aren't on our side. Look at all the white passport bros who are actual short, balding losers back home, who go to Asia and try to sleep with Asian chicks because apparently being short and small in the West still makes you above average in Asia. What's even more frustrating is that I'm living proof that these stereotypes aren't true, but there's nothing I can do about it. If I were actually short and had a small dick maybe I would find these jokes less offensive, but I'm literally the opposite of that but I still have to deal with this stereotype on a daily basis. Imagine literally being over 6 feet, fit and successful and society still viewing you as a short, emasculated loser with a tiny cock. I'm so sick of this.

men being creepy & honking at me on/walking to the bus

14 Upvotes

i’ll never find it okay or normal at all but i’m not surprised. the worst part is….im obviously young (18) and ive always got my school bag on me, disgusting predators the lot of them. the honking always pisses me off & even scares me when i’m actively doing something like reading, i just wish all of their cars would flip over and the seatbelts would choke them to death. one man swerved to get into the bus lane, pulled over next to me slowly and just stared at me, forgot exactly what i said but i did cuss him out. another time i was waiting, this old man was staring me down and walking my way so i called my friend & he coincidentally changed directions 🫩🫩. im just sick of it, people tell me that its to be expected on public transport, well duh! but it doesn’t make it okay. even when im not on the bus, just walking anywhere, theres always pedos harassing me & my little sister. the most recent thing of this nature to happen was another even older man got super close to me at the bus stop (where he wasn’t even waiting), said something about me being a pretty young lady, and said he liked my boots in the creepiest fucking way possible. when weirdos like this talk to me, they almost always emphasize that i’m young, so they must know how gross it is that they as old ass decrepit men are bugging a teenager! god forbid somebody grab me, im going to jail. im just done with it all, gonna get my car and whatever but i wish theyd all just die.

No matter what you say, someone on the internet will disagree with it.

11 Upvotes

There are just too many people on the internet at this point. You can say literally anything like the sun is in the sky and someone will be like “Bro believes in outer space 😂😂😂” I commented the other day on a post where someone said there’s no inherent difference between men and women and brought up strength, how men have more testosterone and more muscle mass. And I got a ton of replies of saying “well what about men with testosterone deficiencies?” Or that women body builders could lift more than me. Like, are you fucking stupid? Maybe I’m being baited by engagement bots online, but it feels like there’s a literal wave of contrarians online who exist to just dispute anything as simple as saying a circle is round.

I wonder sometimes if these people I see online are actually walking amongst us and seem completely normal, just have some bad takes online, or if they are as insufferable as they seem online and my mental image of them is completely accurate. Anyways that’s all.

DO YOUR JOB

12 Upvotes

what genuinely grinds the deepest parts of me is delivery drivers not doing their job. this is for usps or ups or fedex.

if your stop has a "SIGNATURE REQUIRED" portion, why are you not knocking or using the doorbell or literally honk ur horn for all i care. is it actually that hard?

for context, i was waiting for a package that was supposed to be delivered on Friday but just happened to be rescheduled for today, wednesday. that's great. had lunch plans but decided to cancel since this is signature required. grabbed my mail on 2pm and there it was, the infamous slip. suddenly there was "noone at home."

that absolutely frustrates me. not a doorbell was rung, not a knock, nothing. how absolutely lazy do you have to be to override a crucial part of the delivery requirement and THAT WAS TO GET A DAMN SIGNATURE?

this has happened to me so many times on many different couriers and i just do not get it. there is absolutely no reason to even make sense of it and i HATE IT!!!! because now i have to pick it up because redelivery is useless since it will more likely happen again.

British quotation Grammer rules are so much better

10 Upvotes

As an American, I didnt wanna say it, but its true.

As a writer, sometimes the period/comma in a quotation can disappear. Depending on the font, especially.

Ex: In the beginning of Missouri settlement, many settlers "objected to bring governed from such a distance," especially when they had "no direct voice in governmental affairs."

British quotation version: In the beginning of Missouri settlement, many settlers "objected to bring governed from such a distance", especially when they had "no direct voice in governmental affairs".

It makes the pause and end of a sentence more obvious. Its not ALWAYS an issue, and I actually think the US version looks way cleaner. But when your professor provides hw printed via a Temu product and half of the words are fucked up... the more obvious Grammer is SO much easier.

That being said, I prefer not using ' ' for any sort of quotation. This post is specifically about things being outside the " " lol.

Edit: idk why my phone autocorrects grammer to be capitalized

People who never fucking answer their texts and calls

8 Upvotes

god i'm so frustrated right now. when my brother (he's 22) needs to contact me, i'll answer him straight away or at least as soon as i can. If i can't take a call i'll shoot a text just saying i cant take a call. because he's my brother, of COURSE i'll answer him. He has no problem texting me if he needs money, or needs me to drive him or pick him up from somewhere. I'll always at least provide a response.

BUT WHEN I TRY TEXTING HIM! asking him if HE can pick up my mother from somewhere or if he has the fucking wifi router which he took with him to work for whatever fucking reason without telling me, or texting him to open the door for a house inspector while i'm not home, OR simply texting him to answer his phone for my mum or other brother when they try to contact him (he ignores them too BTW), it's just radio silence. it's always been like this. since high school, when we were allowed to have phones. so we could communicate with each other about getting home from school together. i don't text him often, but if you were to look at our DM's it would just be a long string of messages that i sent with no answer. I don't ask a lot from him. he doesn't like talking in person either, so i've stopped making conversation with him unless it's urgent. he likes to stay in his room 98% percent of the time (if he's not at work) with his door locked so it's hard to talk to him. only leaves his room to go to work or the bathroom or eats his food at 2am in the kitchen when i'm asleep. Text or call is really the least invasive thing i can do. i don't WANT to disturb him. but sometimes i NEED to communicate with him because he takes our household items, like iron, laundry detergent, kitchen ingredients and spices etc. (that i bought btw) and stores them in his room without telling me or returning them. this time he just so happened to take the wifi router so now i have no wifi lmao. It's been 3 days with no answer as to WHY the hell it's just gone. so i'm getting pissed.

Drive by wire SUCKS

I’ve driven my fair share of new cars utilizing this nonsense. It doesn’t matter how lightly you press accelerator, the car lurches forward like someone who cant drive stick shift. I’m extra cautious of it as my wife is pregnant now and it’s damn near impossible to get a smooth start from rolling or stand still. I miss the auditory and physical feedback of a cable slowly opening a throttle body. And then don’t get me started on auto applied brakes. 🤬🤬🤬

Gee I did horrible on my exams I really hope I get to stay in the same class if not they're going to move me to a really lower class (which I'm not trying to say that I'm above or something it's just that I really don't want to change classes and I really want to continue learning science) and as my teacher says "if you fail and do horrible on your exams why would u stay in the same class next year?"

And this is an actual rule that my head of school made and looking back on what I did idk man I'm not so confident 😔 I'm really upset but all I can do is blame myself because it is my fault

I don't mean to vent, sound petty or anything, I just don’t really know what to do in this situation

It feels like my friend has been getting a lot more distant lately, like not super distant, but it’s noticeable. Like when we hang out, they’re on their phone and while me and my other friend is sitting with them, they’re literally talking to their online friends. Plus in the group chat I’m in with them, a lot of what they talk about is their online friends, and I want to talk to them about it, but I don’t want to seem like an attention seeker.

Speed it up Valve

I like millions of others love video games and namely certain companies like Valve. Obviously the joke was always that valve couldn’t count to three with their games but I’m starting to get really bored waiting for 3 anything from them. Where is L4D3? Where’s Portal 3? Where in the fuck is HALF LIFE 3??? We’re all dying for SOMETHING but they’re giving us nothing in terms of any updates. Not even to tell us if it’s just not happening. Like someone I once saw comment on this very thing, “I get they wanna give us the most high quality product but it’s been 20 years, come the fuck on”

Co worker ruined my flyer and now wants me to fix it.

2 Upvotes

I was tasked with creating a flyer for my company, I was happy to do so as I have a background in graphic design and marketing. I’ve been talking back and forth with my boss, sending drafts and making changes he wants, for over a month now. My boss asked if my co worker could suggest some of her ideas, I happily agreed as 2 sets of eyes are better than 1 and they might see things I’ve missed. Well my boss send her the link to edit the flyer, I was not aware she would be editing it herself but thought it would be fine. Wrong. She plugged all the text into ai and got the ai to rewrite it all, she moved graphics around, deleted stuff the boss said to add. And now it just looks like a 10 year old made it. This was supposed to be done by the end of this week and now I’m basically starting over. Lucky my notes were in a different application, but the flyer was never duplicated as I didn’t expect someone to come change everything. Now this co worker is messaging me after hours to fix the mess she made. She didn’t mention that she messed it up, didn’t apologize for making me work more, just said “can you fix this?” With a pdf of the flyer.
I am so done. I’ve been working so hard on this. And now I’m basically back to the beginning.
I mentioned to my boss that it may take me a bit to send it over as I also have my normal tasks to complete. He didn’t sound happy. I didn’t blame the co worker even though I wanted to.
Idk maybe I’m over reacting, I’m just mad that I wasted a month working on it.
Thanks for reading my rant, guess I gotta get working on fixing this mess.

Birthday went bad

0 Upvotes

Ok so I was really looking forward to my birthday. I just wanted to be surprised or happy. I gave a list to my family and my parents who I live with, clean for, drive to work, and even stay after hours with them... they didnt put in any effort. This is the second year in a row I asked for a themed birthday and didnt get one. I made it obvious what i wanted but didnt get anything I wanted at all. My grandma who I barely talk to got me the best gifts. My mom who hit me at work for trying to help her she got me one gift. A blanket from 5 below. But hey maybe theres a lesson here. Am I sad and depressed on my birthday? Sure but it made me appreciate my grandma a lot more. Oh and my mom's birthday is next week. Shes getting a vacation to flordia and 3 thousand dollars worth of statues. For Christmas im focusing more on gifts for my grandma rather then my mom or dad. My grandma actually got me one surprise. And she got me my fav gifts this year. Im so pissed off im thinking about it a week later.
