Unless it’s a service animal, I don’t like when dogs are in public buildings. Tired of trying to buy food at the grocery store but having to dodge dogs and avoid stepping over their leashes. This anger is mostly directed at their owners as I’m skittish around dogs I don’t know.
"real emo"
"Real Emo" only consists of the dc Emotional Hardcore scene and the late 90's Screamo scene. What is known by "Midwest Emo" is nothing but Alternative Rock with questionable real emo influence. When people try to argue that bands like My Chemical Romance are not real emo, while saying that Sunny Day Real Estate is, I can't help not to cringe because they are just as fake emo as My Chemical Romance (plus the pretentiousness). Real emo sounds ENERGETIC, POWERFUL and somewhat HATEFUL. Fake emo is weak, self pity and a failed attempt to direct energy and emotion into music. Some examples of REAL EMO are Pg 99, Rites of Spring, Cap n Jazz (the only real emo band from the midwest scene) and Loma Prieta. Some examples of FAKE EMO are American Football, My Chemical Romance and Mineral EMO BELONGS TO HARDCORE NOT TO INDIE, POP PUNK, ALT ROCK OR ANY OTHER MAINSTREAM GENRE
Actually, i believe video games got worse after the higher fidelity jump to 3D on the PS2 because graphics became such an important part over seemingly all else.
People get dogs to avoid having to develop themselves as individuals and the thought of having a moment to themselves must frighten them.
Cats are mid.
Image format changes are bullshit because as someone with interest in graphic arts, it seems no consideration was given to my needs. IDGAF what bonuses you get in this format, i wanna grow my collection of gifs, jpegs, and pngs for funny shit.
FOSS fanatics are annoying because they cant seem to understand that there are people who want to use their computers without having a 12 year background in programming jargon and depreciated standards to make sense of their systems.
Music might have been better in the past because we forced more musicians to do local circuits where they’ll be playing sets 3-5 times a week. Usually that’s a great way to know if your good at it or not.
Much like veganism, they are objectively correct about the state of the world/technology. All software should be free and open source. Copyright and IP is just the digital enclosure of the commons.
But some of their advocates can be annoying, and the tech/food isn't exactly the same as what people are used to, so rather than putting in a lil bit of effort and learning to let go of certain things, the majority just go along with the status quo no matter how damaging it is to society/environment and only benefits Big Capital.
I was wary of Linux for years because the whole "Linux is user friendly, it's just picky about its friends" thing came off to me as "we take pride in the fact that our platform is obtuse and difficult to use." It made me think the appeal of Linux was to act as a form of Gatekeeping in the vein of "Oh, you're a nerd? Name all the Avengers." When I finally had to learn Linux in college, I actually found it quite easy to pick up.
Same, it was never bad, but fuck they cant seem to talk to people assuming no knowledge
I've picked up a lot of stuff in Linux but damn if Linux people weren't completely worthless at writing tutorials. If a program I want isn't on my package manager, it almost always takes way too fucking long to figure out how to install it.
I would argue to the contrary, whenever I want to use software that isn't FOSS or for Linux specifically, it usually has zero or completely useless documentation. For most major projects, FOSS documentation is usually pretty good. Unless you are trying to install some random small project, typically it is already in your repos (depending on your distro) or it isn't that difficult.
Maybe it's just because bad experiences stand out in my memory, but it does seem to me that when apt-get fails there's a 50/50 shot I'll be directed to a github with an install.md that just says "download the tarball and build it" and be completely on my own to figure out the rest of the owl.
Hard to tell, but in my experience, it is really rare that I don't find what I am looking for in my distro repos. Unless it is like a random utility that almost no one uses or some development library etc. But with those, it is kinda expected that you know what you are doing. I don't even remember when was the last time I actually installed something manually from source when I wasn't making some changes in source repo or something similar.

I know many boomers/tech illiterate people who almost exclusively use FOSS, and they're all extremely happy with it. If you need it, documentation is plentiful and you can usually fix any problems with one (1) search.
Software is an essential part of modern life, and its privatization is very easily avoidable by just being willing to learn the very basics of something you might not know. So, no, you don't need a 12 year background in anything.
Also American Football and SDRE slap, not every emotion has to be explosively displayed, weakness/vulnerability/sadness are a part of life too. I couldn't give less of a shit about what is "real emo" and what isn't though.
