I hate that most people's ideas of success is to earn lots of money and buy expensive things, rather than help the community.

The kind that says “I’m special, but you aren’t”
The kind that lets billionaires exist and fuck with national politics and laws. The kind that lets rich people or corporations off of crimes with little or no punishment. The kind that lets a religious person use their religion to be shitty in any way, as a shield or a cudgel. The kind that lets someone festoon their pickup with LED lights and a squat so you’re blinded at night when they’re coming at you or tailgating you.
All of them think they’re special and the rules don’t apply, they don’t care how it affects those around them - or others are to be exploited.
The fact that horrible fascist and billionaire ghouls living in their 90s+ while people that did nothing heinous or actual good in the world are dying of cancer, heart attacks, aneurysms etc.
It's not fucking fair and and Billy Joel was right when he said only the good die young
Makes we believe that there isn't any omnipotent being out there or perhaps this universe is the bad place
Ads. I am so fucking sick of ads. I have ad blockers on many things and my next network project will be adding a pihole to my network for network ad block. Sick of it.
My husband has set up a pihole and it’s the best ever. It used to run off an actual raspberry pi but now we have a home server and he got it set up on there. Literally yesterday he also added Tailscale to our computers and phones and it seriously rocks my socks. I don’t even exactly know what it does but suddenly I’m not getting any ads while at my in-laws house on their WiFi so, score! I am not tech savvy enough to know about these things, much less set them up myself, but I am super thankful that my husband aggressively hates ads and I get to benefit from his crusade against them.
Tailscale is a virtual private network (VPN). It connects everything together that is connected to it as though they are all in the same place. You might be physically at your in-laws house but your device is communicating with a private network over your in-laws' network.
Whoa, that's insane. I didn't think VPNs worked like that.
Large corporate offices often run VPNs in a similar way, anyone with a work-from-home laptop or phone generally has to log into a VPN to get internet/network access.
It's getting crazy. Or I'm just becoming more aware of them.
Normal is crazy, so it could be either. My shock when 🏴☠️ I realized that TV show episodes (not streaming) are generally 22 minutes for a half-hour slot - almost a third of TV is ads.
I hate being expected to observe holidays that were created on a foundation of racial and cultural obliteration.
I would like to add a holiday that once celebrated peace, but now celebrates militarism and war: Veterans Day (US). Not long ago, it was St. Martin’s day, a feast that commemorates a Roman soldier who abandoned his military office to become a monk. It was customary to sign peace treaties on his feast day for this reason. Included in this was Armistice Day, the end of World War 1. Eventually in the US this was changed to Veterans Day in 1954.
Gambling loops put into most mobile games, especially when targeting children.
Unjust justice systems designed to rob citizens.
An example: NYC cops will ticket you for not displaying a parking receipt on your dash even though you paid through their fucking ParkNYC app.
When you dispute the ticket they don’t give a fuck and just say “guilty” then charge you anyways.
Nazis
Daylight Saving time, Donald Trump & his supporters, the US healthcare "system", mosquitos, Christmas music, babies on airplanes, hangnails, bigotry and intolerance of other people's cultures, and the Dutch.
Dutch?

You know those package that said "tear here" and then proceed to stuck half way and you have to take out your scissor and cut it anyway? Yeah, those, hate it.
I hate that people dont just hit "fuck it" and go full French revolution on billionaires when they see them.
Tbh, I don't think I have ever seen one in-person
