Comments that have any tell the commentor didn’t even open the article theyre commenting on. It ruins any assumed credibility of the content in their comment.
Like when they ask questions that are answered in the first line
When the socks don’t come off.
In fiction:
People who keep calling someone’s name who is unresponsive (either unconscious or walking away). You’ve said their name six times now. They either need car, or you need to say something different.
Problems that could have been easily solved by communication, but the characters did something like: “I can explain!” Instead of just explaining.
Most fiction wouldn’t exist if people properly communicated in it.
Especially sitcoms. Especially Three’s Company.
YouTube in general taking over all answers on the web. I’d much rather just read the answer than have to go through a 10 min video.
But on that topic…
- Watch to the end
- Over energetic “what’s up youtube! Welcome back”
- Before we get to the video…
This. So happy it’s not just me xD
"Wait for it . . . "
No.
I respect the few YouTube folks out there that write a blog post (on their own website!) for each video. The text based web has always been the ultimate reference.
When everything needs to be updated, and the update size is 5 GB download (Linux).
A handful of people. That’s why we can’t have nice things, because a handful of people always have to ruin it for everyone else.
Gatekeeping. Anyone who tells you that “that’s not how it’s done” or " we don’t do it that way" or otherwise cramps your style just because they do it differently, or better, or with more expensive tools or materials, is an arse.
I have been put off so many hobbies because other people just have to suck the enjoyment out of it. Now that I am older and more sure of myself, I tend not to join the communities related to my hobbies because people are dicks; I just do what I enjoy, how I enjoy it.
Ehh, there are right and wrong ways. Does your post make sense in response to “please do not reboot the server with RAID card by pulling out the power cable while it’s running”?
See, as a welder turned machinist, I can confidently say that there ARE wrong ways to accomplish your goals, and I’ve tried most of them.
Your kind of thinking is exactly what happened to Stockton Rush and his passengers. It even started put as a hobby that this guy turned into a business, just doing what hey enjoyed, the way he enjoyed it.
Sometimes gatekeeping exists for a very, very good reason.
Chesterton’s Fence applies to some gatekeeping. Not all, but for life-safety thegatekeeping tends to be for sadly good reason.
This is the kind of thing that ruins ham radio for me, and I think a big part of why a lot of people who are interested in HF band stay on CB radio and work outlaw stations instead. The FCC mostly turns a blind eye to those who aren’t causing interference, and you don’t have to listen to angry 300 year old sad hams tell you all the silly things they believe you’re doing wrong.
_ (they’re also usually wrong because they’re usually ignoring some change in regulation or technology)_
Flex radio operator. The only radio… They have to justify all the money that they spent on that flex radio. So all you hear is that is the only radio that’s capable of working in the modern world.
This is why I could never enjoy Python.
“That’s not pythonic”
should just reply “it is now :)” to asses who say something like that
It annoys me when people don’t at least try to explain the advantages of language features. Like, there are some real advantages to writing “pythonic” Python, but if someone doesn’t know then it’s better to tell them why this other way rocks and is fucking cool and also happens to be considered best practice.
Also, sometimes you just have to do things in a non-pythonic way. PEP 8 literally says that a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, which the pythonic nuts should hold as gospel.
This is a big one for me too. Usually in professional context. As long as the task is completed correctly at the end, please don’t tell me how other people have done it halfway through. It’s just going to throw me off and slow me down.
Stupid fat hobbit, they ruins it!
In a fiction movie or book, when a character says, “you can’t make this stuff up.”
Breaks the immersion for me immediately.

When fan writing gets too edgy compared to its inspiration.
I played Pokemon Unbound, a widely-lauded ROM hack, the other week. Got to the first gym, a grass type one. Lo and behold, the gym leader is named Mirskle and he keeps it “foggy” inside his gym from “incense.” He speaks like a total stoner and looks like this:
Got bombarded by an obnoxious number of weed jokes. Sorry, I just can’t.
Just beat that gym yesterday and I enjoyed it, to each their own
lol, this is awesome.
