The fact that doing the right thing can get you into more hassle than doing it wrong. Might as well do it wrong and lose the guilt of giving a s**t.
And pettiness. I find it pathetic.

Haven’t you ever heard the saying “No good deed goes unpunished”? I find that in many cases it is very true.

Offline I just find it ridiculous that its far better to cover up a mistake and hope you get away with it than admit it.
Take tax; declare everything and do it to the letter of the book and you’ll be left with next to nothing. Identify and utilise all the loop holes etc and you get away with paying much less. It’s no wonder rich people stick it n the Bahamas and route it thru 54 banks in Russia. I’m not saying its right to do so I just can understand better why its done.

Offline People who clap themselves on TV. Really annoys me.
Pointless chat in TV quizzes. I really like ‘Only Connect’ and its been slightly better this series but even on that there is now boring needless chat and quirkiness that annoys the hell out of me. In the earlier series you were introduced to the contestants and the rest of the time was spent quizzing.

When stories use the word orb instead of eyes.
When people say ‘his emerald orbs gazed morosely at the fan” I imagine that there eyes were replaced by jems.

Offline I’m going to have to watch 45 minutes of celebs arriving at a premier when I see ‘Eight Days A Week …’ in the cinema. What moron thought that was a good idea?
While we have the performance scheduled as an 18:00 start time, we’ve been informed by the distributor that although there will be live footage shown from this point, this will mostly be ‘red carpet’ shots of celebrities arriving for the premiere. If this is something that you are not particularly keen to see, I would advise getting to the screening for 18:45 to allow for seating ahead of the start of the film at 19:00.
However it is worth noting that this event is sold out and the seating is unallocated, so getting to the auditorium earlier may prove beneficial in getting the best possible seats.

Offline When people/news articles/clickbait/TV shows use the words “science says [X]” or “[X] is true, according to science.”
First of all, science doesn’t “say” anything. Science is simply a way of observing and collecting data. When enough scientific studies are done on a subject that suggest the same conclusion, then it becomes consensus.
Secondly, even if science did “say” stuff, it would still be misuse of the language, because “science says” usually actually means “one study suggests.”

Offline TMZ and people/reporters of that ilk. Celebrities are just people. They don’t need their garbage pawed through by vultures who aren’t interesting or talented enough to be celebrities themselves. The simple existence of these wastes of brain stems is disgusting to me.
While we’re at it: I’ve had just about enough of this “celebrities should be role models” nonsense. Every time there’s some scandal, there’s some professional parent group that trots out this trite snowclone. Again, celebrities are just flawed, imperfect people just like you. They don’t owe you anything other than entertainment.

They don’t even necessarily owe you that. They usually do whatever entertainment they do because they enjoy it themselves. If they’re not enjoying it or they want a break they have every right to stop.

Offline How people relate modern day factory farming to “natural selection” or “survival of the fittest”, but when a species is about to go extinct, those same people believe that humans should step in to “save” that species, completely ignoring that a species going extinct is a prime example of “survival of the fittest”.

Offline But factory farming is natural selection, the creatures that give us the most yummy food get to reproduce and over time develop new features to improve their chance at survival. Like how chickens lay blank eggs, that is something humans breed into them.
Also the engendered creatures have an adaptation, cuteness or beauty that they use to increase their survival by having humans care about them like if Pandas were ugly, then they would be extinct by now. An example is why some dogs look the way they do is because it looks appealing to humans.
Playing to humans is a part of survival of the fittest.

Offline If man (meaning humans) is going out killing dolphins, whales, terrapins, salmon, tigers etc then its not natural selection – unless selection is meant in that man is selecting the animals to kill. If those doing the farming were to limit the numbers caught and killed then the species would not be in danger of being extinct. Amazingly if you allow a certain % of any species to remain at a level that allows for consistent reproduction and lifespan (for lack of a better word) then you can have a certain % to farm but wipe them all out and you will end up with nothing.

If a group of rats go out killing dolphins, whales, terrapins, salmon, tigers etc does it become natural selection?

I considered that when I was writing the post originally. I ultimately decided that it sounded better to just leave it as it is rather than to rephrase myself.

I tell people the same thing. The way we kill other species on such large scale is not natural, or being done by nature. People usually think I’m daft for saying that, though, so I really don’t bother about it anymore.
